        I could feel the blood rushing to my head. I was a ticking bomb just waiting to explode. Celine and Lee ran to the kitchen wondering what broke. "What happened?" Celine asked as she looked at the shattered glass on the ground. Lee was just staring at me knowing what just happened. Never in my whole life have I ever wanted the ground to just swallow me whole. "I... I..." my voice was failing me because I must admit I am falling in love with Lee but I am not in love with him, I just can't simply get him out of my head 24/7!

"I need some air,"

I said as I grabbed my coat and walked outside onto the busy streets of New York. I didn't know what was wrong with me? Agreeing to plan my sister's wedding was a mistake. I shouldn't have met Lee at the grocery and jump to conclusions. I shouldn't be drooling over my sister's future husband. The question should be, what kind of sister am I? I was too busy asking myself obvious questions that I didn't pay attention to where I was going, I ran into someone sending me to the ground.

"Oh my! I am sorry!" the man said as he outstretched his hand towards me. "Charlie?" I heard the man asked and as I looked up. I saw the last man I wanted to see, "Landon?"

Flashback:

        "Charlie honey! Why can't you wear a dress like your sister's?" my mother complained as she started to straighten out my dress. Which looked absolutely fine with it's yellow ribbon sitting right on top of my bum. Celine stood straight with her elegant white dress that had ruffles right below her knees. "Mother, this is my date. Aaron." my sister introduced her date, it was family BBQ meaning all our relatives from near and far gather together and have a BBQ. All my cousins including me and my sister were required to bring a date because the legend in my family is if you don't bring a date to Family BBQ then you are not fit to marry. Basically the whole family will look down on you.

Then there stood Celine's date, tall and lean. He looked like the President's son. He had golden blonde hair with striking blue eyes and of course the golden boy's signature pearly white teeth. "Oh, how wonderful! You look handsome my dear child," my mother commented on Aaron as she pinched his cheeks. My mother then looked at me and I smiled, unlike my sister I can't get a perfect date easily. I smiled and said "Mother, this is Landon." Of course Aaron and Celine's smile disappeared as they heard his name. Landon was known as the school's music junkie. Rumor has it that he was homeless. Of course that wasn't true. But this time Landon cleaned up good.

"Hello Landon, welcome to Swan residence!!" my mother cheered, the night was going great Landon was able to go through dinner without making a fool out of himself. My mother was finally looking up to me, Until, he got too much to drink. "The Swan Family is truly an amazing *hiccup* family!" everybody was awed at Landon's words little did they expect his next works "I mean Charlie here is paying me to be here with all you rich snobs and she even promised to sleep with me," he slurred. Gasps were heard all around the room. I grabbed Landon's face and hissed "What have you done!?" I then kicked him in the balls only for him to fall forward and break the table making the bowl of punch fly and land on me. Soaking my yellow dress.

End of Flashback**

It was the last time I saw him. Of course I didn't plan to sleep with him. I was still a virgin. But ever since that day my family have been bringing me down badly that's why whenever they invited me to the Family BBQ I would always make an excuse that I am working that I would try to make it on the next one.

Landon was the last person I wanted to see.

"I can't believe that I would run into you," he said with his smile, I was still on the ground looking him up and down. He looked clean and not very music junkie. "Landon?" still shock to see him especially when he was wearing a suit. He then rolled his eyes and helped me up. "How have you been Charlie?" he asked with a genuine smile. "I'm doing great actually," was all I replied. "I bet this is a shock to you. I'm working in wall street now. Ever since the incident at your home, and your mother saying how you were such a disgrace and that you would never be suited to be a bride one day. It kind of cleared my head." he said

"Wow! That's actually amazing." I didn't lie. From being the rumored Homeless music junkie man to a Wall street suit man was awesome. He smiled then he said "Charlie, since you're here and I am here after many years, I wanted to tell you something that I've never told you. I love you." Hold up there! What did he just say? That he loved me? What on earth makes him say that!? Well, that escalated quickly. "I have been loving you since Junior year and loved you since. The accident at your home was an innocent mistake. But I promise you that I have changed. Would you like to start dating again?" No. I've already made up my mind. There was no way in hell I was going out with a guy that ruined everything with my family.

"Landon... I--" "Charlie!!" I was cut off as I saw Lee running towards me. "Are you alright?" Lee asked, then he looked at Landon then back to me. I could see in Landon's eyes that he was burning holes through Lee. But then I had another thought in mind, of course Landon has ruined everything with my family but I didn't want to hurt him since he has gone through all this change just to win me back. "I'm actually getting married Landon, this is my Fiancee Lee Pace. Lee this is one of my old friends, Landon." I blurt out making both of them widen their eyes. I grabbed Lee's arm and wrapped both my hands around it. Landon forced a smile and said "Wow! That's-- That's pretty amazing." just then Landon's phone rang and he told us "Excuse me for one moment,"

"What the hell was that for?" Lee hissed at me, I will not say that I didn't like this because we all know that right now I was in pure bliss. "Just please go with it Lee, it's a long story but I will tell you soon." I quickly said as Lee narrowed his eyes at me Landon came back. "Sorry it was my boss, so when's the big day?" I then replied with my sister's big day and briefly discussed to him the plan. Lee's hand was resting above my arm and I could swear that his hand was burning right through my arm. "So how did the two lovely couple met?" Landon asked, Oh God. I did not know how to answer that one. But before I could think of any other romantic way to meet your husband. Lee was already telling the story.

"At a grocery store, as you can see Charlie wasn't bless with height--" "Hey!!" I butted in, "She couldn't reach an item that she wanted on the top shelf, at first I got it for her then we went our separate ways but then I went to the Ice cream section and found her yelling at the top shelf. After that we started hanging out and ever since then I have been head over feet for this young lady,"

In that moment I just died and flew to cloud 9 because screw heaven.

Because right now I'm on cloud nine with my sister's fiancee.
