As we fall

Somome throw rice its a freaking wedding!

Mia's POV

As I finished curling my long brown hair and apply a beautiful shimmery shadow to my eyes finishing with a wing and red lipstick. Damn I'd have to admit I didn't think this red dress could have looked any better on me the day i tried it on in the boutique but with my hair and makeup did and not to mention my five inch silver stilettos nearly covered in rhinestones I have to admit it's beautiful and I feel really confident.
I walk downstairs where my mom,dad and my brother Brandon are in the kitchen. Sounds like their into a serious conversation...
No! I don't want to I want her! Brandon yells at my dad while I finally join them in the kitchen.
Son you need to think about this that's my best friends daughter if you and her run away it will cause so much problems between our family's she's been a long time friend to you as well why did you have to ruin it by having a relationship like this? I understand your 19 and ready to get married and start your life Brandon but why can't you make jasmine your wife? Dad ask while looking to Brandon as he waits for explanation.
Yeah I've always loved jasmine she's such a sweet girl. Mom assures Brandon with a half smile.
No you guys don't understand you can't just arrange a marriage anymore it's 2020 I'm in love with Kayla and we're running away tonight once we get back from that shit wedding so make sure you call your "friend" dad and tell him we're ready to pay his asking price because I'm picking up my wife tonight and there's nothing you or even her father can say or do to stop me! He says firmly.
Oh my gosh.. Brandon is running away with his girlfriend tonight, in the Gypsy community you don't need a marriage license you are already considered "married" by the time you decide to live together although it's frowned upon when people run away together the old generation like the respect of the parents of the boy ask for their daughters hand in marriage personally.
They all stop talking when they finally notice me as I make my presents known with the loud noises of the microwave heating my hot pocket then slamming the door shut as I remove my food. I swear it's like they never even notice me around the house sometimes... I rarely leave my room after cleaning the house and helping my mom cook, I've been keeping my mind busy with drawing, reading and actually made my first Instagram with my new iPhone. Honestly I'm just trying not to think about "him".
Back to the point of my shitty parents never really talking to me or asking how my day had went instead all they do is lecture me and they're always mad at me about something..

Oh Mia your not serious are you? My dad says breaking my deep thoughts,

Uhm what! I ask with my bitchy tone knowing exactly what he's about to say about my dress..

He turns to my mother to glare at her face letting her know he's pissed with just one look.
She breakes the stare down after 10 seconds of my dad literally not even blinking,  my daughter looks beautiful don't kill her feeling let her have fun at the wedding and don't hover over her like she'll shatter into pieces if someone touches her. Mom says.
Look at her she's not a little girl anymore instead of admiring and telling your daughter how beautiful she is your first reaction was to get mad at her? She goes on.. and this is your first time seeing her in a fancy dress like this or did you not realize that either! She finally finished. Thank god... I knew my place so I stayed quite and so did dad.

Ok it's fine I guess your right let's just go get this wedding thing over with cause I feel exhausted already so come on go, go dad says while guiding me mom and Brandon out the door and into the car, at his normal rushed pace.

I walk into the big tall doors to the reception room with my family close upfront. It's really beautiful everything decorated all white which is a little plain I'd say but also looks very elegant with white roses everywhere lit candles on centerpieces a huge buffet table full of help yourself food a ice sculpture of the bride and grooms names carved on it,  a dance floor with a dj and of course the open bar... I laugh to my last thought just as I see molly and Samantha the only ones sitting at the bar with four shots of alcohol already infront of them.
Hmm what a shock to see you here at the bar Sam.. I mock her with a laugh
You know me if they're serving free drinks I'm getting drunk. Sam assures me with a smile.
Molly your drinking too? I ask kinda shocked cause she usually tries to stay out of trouble like me,   Ahh yeah I figured why not let loose a little tonight drink dance have fun. Molly says.
Have a drink and relax girl you look so fucking hot by the way it's very rare that I feel jealous of anyone and I have to admit I hate you right now! Sam says loudly while she forced the shot into my lips and I let it happen. Oh god' I gagged a little as the hot liquid burned my throat going down. Ahh what was that I ask after taking my first drink of alcohol ever!
That' was called crown royal two more should have you feeling bomb! Sam assures me with an excited smile and I thought who am I to take away her happiness tonight... couple drinks won't hurt right? I think to myself..

Okay sounds fun let's get fucked up cause what's the worst that can happen I'm wearing heels and a strapless dress not to mention my dad's reaction to this but hell with it! I say while lifting my shot glass gesturing Sam and molly to click our glasses together and I take my second shot. This time I knew what to expect so handled it a lot better.  Sam and molly both congratulated me for growing some balls for finally having fun and I laugh with them while ordering another shot.

An hour has passed and I'm just now walking away from the bar with molly and Sam. Oh god, Sam my head is I'm a little I think drunk much.. I mean I think I drank too much I stumbled my words. I'm dizzy and definitely drunk I know because I've never been drunk before and I feel unbalanced. You need to eat something it will bring you back to earth a little she says laughing.  Yes! Food sounds amazing take me to this food you speak of! I say with my drunk excited voice. Okay let's go before your dad sees you this bad she says while dragging me to the buffet table. As I pass down the line of servers with my plate making sure to get each kind of meat they all look sad and angry I meant add so I can't help speaking my thoughts out loud and yell " someone throw rice it's a freaking wedding for god sakes! Would it hurt to smile? I continue saying with my bitchy tone while walking further to the last server. When I finally take my drunk eyes from my mountain like plate of food I finally meet my gaze to the last sever... oh my godd... Hayden??
