Calla POV:
"WHAT THE FUCK!!" Emily and Liam screamed together with their eyes bulging out as soon as I opened about my marriage. Just about marriage. Yes, I haven't even said who is the groom. I am preparing my ears for that.
"What do you mean you are getting married?" Emily shouted while shaking my shoulders.
"Calla, How come you are saying this now? And when did you even date?" Liam said narrowing his eyes.
"Ah! Yes, Calla, who is the groom? Don't tell me this is some deal and shit. Until yesterday you were blindly breathing the Samuel, I can't even imagine what your thought process is!" Emily groaned while rubbing her face in frustration.
I am currently in their house hoping to explain my situation.
"Wait! Who is the groom?" Liam asked with some hope in his eyes. Maybe some hope to see me finally dating someone away from my unrequited love.
I gulped and slowly started moving towards the nearby bedroom.
"What are you doing?" Emily raised her eyebrows in question while moving towards me suspiciously.
"Nothing!" I said quickly smiling sheepishly.
When I entered the bedroom, I held the room door as my defense.
"Calla, Don't play around! Tell us who is the groom!" Liam asked impatiently tapping his foot.
"About that........... I am going to marry Samuel Foster!" I blurted out.
Their eyes widened as soon as the name of my love came out of me.
"HOLY FUCK!" They both cursed scaring me with their shocked expressions.
"Calla! What did you do? " Emily said running fast to me.
In an attempt to save me, I slammed the door in her face.
"SERIOUSLY CALLA! OPEN THE DAMN DOOR AND EXPLAIN TO ME. WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO BECOME THIS CRAZY?" She yelled banging the door loudly.
"Come on, Calla! Why are you hiding like a coward?" Liam yelled over his soon-be-wife's voice.
"Guys, Calm down! Emily if you let me speak, I will explain it to you!" I shouted at the top of my lungs.
"How can I be calm when I can sense that you have done something stupid even before your explanation?" She said, banging the door for one last time.
I sighed and cleared my throat for my speech aka explanation.
"I decided to marry him because......." I gave their most awaited explanation over that closed door because I do not dare to face her while explaining this.
When I completed my speech, I have not expected this response.
Silence.......
When I gathered my courage to face her, I slowly, carefully opened the door.
I am suddenly engulfed in a warm hug which I don't know that I needed.
The second surprise came when Liam engulfed me in a hug while Emily is still hugging the life out of me. Liam engulfed both of us in that hug.
It gave me some support that I knew I lacked. I am grateful for that.
"Guys, you are choking me!" I said to lighten the mood.
They both tightened the hug at that and parted from me after a few seconds.
When I looked at Emily's face to see her expression, I haven't expected to see tears in her eyes. When I looked at Liam, I can see that he is struggling hard to control his tears.
I held Emily's face in my palms and stroked her soft cheeks.
"Why are you crying, Emily?" I asked in a soft whisper with a sad smile.
She just shook her head vigorously.
"Don't do that! Please for me. At least for my sake, please don't do this, Calla. You know that you are my sister. Right? Don't do this just for a random man. Please consider me, Liam, my father, and your parents. Don't be so stupid to take such a risk for a boy over your whole family. I even beg you, Calla!" She pleaded while crying heavily.
I looked at her helplessly.
"I....." I dragged not knowing what to say to her. I looked over Liam for help but regretted it.
Liam took heavy steps and moved Emily to the side to hold my shoulders in a tight grip.
"Calla! You are not doing that! I won't allow you. You have always called me your brother. Right? I am not allowing you to risk your life over that damn family." He said shaking my shoulder and speaking in a thick voice.
"But, I have to! You know that I love him. Right?" I asked them with tears peeking from my eyes.
"Yes, we know. But that doesn't mean you have to risk your life!" Emily screamed harshly.
"If Liam has such a situation, wouldn't you do the same as me?" I asked, my eyes pleading with her to let me do this.
"I would do that because I am his life. In your case, he doesn't even know you." She said harshly crushing my heart.
"Yes, You are right! He doesn't even know me." I said dropping my shoulders at the fact.
It makes me dead from inside.
At that, their expressions softened. A little bit.
"But I will do that. Emily, you know how I am living my life these years. Just empty. Dead. But now I have got a purpose and life just from agreeing to this." I said in a firm tone confirming that what I am saying is true.
"But, this will even cost you your death." Liam painfully muttered.
"But I don't want to live that empty life anymore. When they finally got married, maybe I can finally move on. Please give me a chance for that. Please give me a chance for my happiness. I just want to do this as a last thing for him, for my love." I pleaded, taking both their hands in a hoarse voice.
"I know I can't stop you if you make a decision. But just know that I will never accept this. I will never support a decision that probably will destroy your life. I will never forgive you for this decision." Emily coldly replied before leaving to her bedroom.
I looked Liam as a hope.
"Do you think I will agree to this? If you thought that, you don't me at all, Calla" He said in a defeated tone while patting me on my head before leaving me alone in that quiet living room.
I gulped my sorrow along with the saliva and wiped my tears before involving myself in an another situation.
A situation chaotic than this..............
A situation awkward than this...........
A situation dangerous than this...........
A situation which can end this whole deal.............
A situation where me and Amelia will be talking about................
Our love Samuel.......
