Everyone is entranced as we all watch Cypress and Sukie continue their dance, but when the song ends they call everyone to join them on the dance floor. The guests rush to the center of the room with excitement as the music plays, and out of the corner of my eye I catch Paisley walking toward her Grandpa. She grabs his leg, demanding his attention and motions for him to pick her up, of course he doesn't hesitate. The smile on my face is so big and I can feel the tears threatening to fall when I am grabbed from behind an
A few weeks later... It’s the day before my wedding and I'm picking up some last-minute items from our local store. Malachi and I decided the
As I walk out of the closet, the fabric of my dress sways with my movements. I step in front of the window which still displays beams from the sunset. The rays trickle into the room and reflect off the diamonds on my dress causing the room to light up with sparkles. The front of my white princess style dress is embroidered lace with patterns of dream catchers with moons to match the earrings Amelia chose and has a train almost 6 feet long. The dress sits on my shoulders by skinny straps, with a plunging neckline that s
~Epilogue~The plane touches down in Italy, and we walk out to a white Mercedes waiting for us. I turn to Malachi, lifting a brow. “Really? Had to get a Mercedes?” I say with a laugh. He shrugs. “Only the best for my Luna” He professes, running at me and swooping me up bridal
The alarm sounded, and I reached out to the nightstand, slapping at my phone, knocking it off onto the floor. I leaned over my bed to see where it went, but I gave up and rolled over, pulling the covers over my head before falling back asleep. Again, the alarm blared, and I sighed, pulling the covers off. I rubbed my eyes to get them to focus. When I’m able to see straight, I hang over my bed, searching for my phone. Once I had it in my hand, I headed for the bathroom to get ready for the day. Placing my hair in a messy bun, I avoided makeup all together. I felt like it was a waste of time. Who the hell was I impressing anyway? After I walked to my closet and grabbed my outfit for the day laid it out on the bed. “Paisley?! You awake?” My mom yelled from the door. “Yeah,” I hollered back, picking up the soft sweater from the bed, slipping it over my head, then grabbed the pair of black ripped jeans and pulling them up to the middle of my waist. Once I finished, I stood, picking up m
After I finished all my classes for the day, I grabbed my things to head home. Asher and I said nothing more to each other, and Trent kept quiet.I headed for the parking lot, and as I approached my car, taking out my keys when Trent ran up to me, blocking my car’s entry.“What the hell, Trent? Can’t you leave me alone? Was the ass-kicking you took from Asher not a good enough reason?” I asked, trying to walk past him.Trent narrowed his eyes on me. “Are you giving it up to Asher? Is that why he is acting differently with you?” Trent questioned curiously with a grin.I rolled my eyes. “You’re an idiot,” I retorted. He tried grabbing my face. I slapped his hand away. “Get the hell away from me, you fucking creep!
Last night was crazy. I almost let myself drown, and the most ironic part was that Asher was the one to jump in and save me. To think that in the last four years, he has bullied me to no end, but when he gets the chance to get rid of me, he saved me.I am startled by a knock on the door, which brings me back to the present.“Yeah, come in,” I said, and the door opened to my mom.“Hey sweetie, Can we talk?” She asked, stepping in and closed the door behind her.I swiveled in my computer chair to face her. “Sure, what’s up?” I asked as she took a seat on the chest at the end of my bed.“Last night scared me, Paisley. When you didn't come back up out of the water, my heart tumbled
Asher marched over to our table once he stood in front of us, and he glared down at me. “We need to talk now,” he demanded in a low growl, grabbing my arm.My friends stared at Asher with wide eyes. Stephanie stood quickly. “You can’t just order her around, asshole!” She snapped, irritated.Asher turned his gaze from me to Stephanie. “Stay out of this. It has nothing to do with you,” He sneered, shoving her lightly back into the booth.That’s when I felt a wave of deep anger inside me rise. “Hey, you can be a fucking dick to me all you want but never touch my friends again,” I countered with my fist clenched so tightly my hand turned pale.Asher grabbed me, pulling me away from the booth, and my friends ran afte
As Asher stared at my lit screen, my heart dropped. He looked down at me, and his eyes looked as if they caught fire. “You’re talking to Trent?” He asked in a low tone.I glared at him with so much anger. “I told you it is none of your business. You had never cared before if a boy liked me. Why act like the friend you should have been a long time ago now?” I questioned, and he couldn’t answer me. “Ugh,” I huffed, yanking my phone from him. As I looked to my right, I realized he was standing very close to the edge of the pool. I didn’t hesitate and shoved him in.When he broke the surface, he let out a growl under his breath. “STAY OUT OF MY LIFE!” I shouted and took off for the door.I opened the door with so much force; it got everyone to look in my
