The little you know the more safe you're but no, she just wants more and more she goes after. In bloomy smile she rests her arms for the knee that airs on the other , setting her gaze on the speech she's to read out.
In the audience stage, Dora hands relentlessly stab different positions. In crossed heart she hopes things goes fine as she visioned or else her dream wedding will become a mourn one.
Not that she doubtedy her friend's skills but she knows who her mother is and that's big hole in the dress for her.
"You claim to have break your friendship years back, can you tell everyone why?"
Their exchanged looks and fluttered lashes are capture by June, she takes seconds in picking the eyes talk between them. In less or more they dim out their eyes from each other, facing her front for what she asked.
" That because she was too perfect to be in my world, she always got to do things her way and I didn't need a friend like that. Neither do I want my daughter to have a friend of her spring"
'Great' Dora rubs her fingers the second her palm greet her forehead. This is what she was scare of , but did she listen?, no. Like always June does what she wants.
"Oh please, like am begging you to stay. Even I want my daughter to have nothing to do with you or your daughter" mis Betty fires back with harsh rolls of her eyes, strengthen her throat for the following huff that meet in sync with Dora's mother. They share a two second glares then face the opposite sides with hiss that meant only for their ears.
" In all your friendship came to an due to her wanting to get things done on her terms?".
" Not quite. The reason I ended my friendship with her was due on her side. She hosted a party with everyone involved but me, so" her lips paused with hard look on her fingers.
It wasn't the most pleasant scene that year, all invite cards were sent to every member of their class but hers never reache. She waited days ,till the party functioned. Just a two gates by, she witnessed her having fun with other girls, it felt like she didn't need her anymore so she did what anyone in her pity stare could. Break their friendship the following day.
"You think that was intentional?. I didn't send you a card because you always complained about how fancy and expensive I host my parties and you said to not be fund of either of them. So I did not include you, all so I can grant you what you wish"
"But you could have sent mine, I used to complain but I always made it for every party no matter how much I despised them and I did so all for you. That day when I saw you having fun without me, it .."
Communication is the key to every relationship, once it lost the relationship comes falling down.
A little misunderstanding was extended for years all because they both failed to communicate it and settled out the difference.
" I wasn't aware of how hurt you were, nor did I intend for that " Dora's eyes splashed to hear her mom's voice calm as it is. It feels like an alien has taken her mom's replacement.
The ending is as June expected, the two grown kids talked out their differences and goes in for warm in each other's arms.
" June "
She spread her arms for the hand went framing for her waist , snuffing her breathe in the mint coco neck, that familiar smell that allures her to comfort land.
"Are you ready?"
"You're late" she said running her fingers on his back ears, staring her gaze in his.
" How should I punish you? ".
"Okay you two, that's the end" Dora pops in, scrapping their lips moment.
Her eyes circles in with their too touchiness, lending her a cold shoulders .Now she misses her fiance but he have been busy with office matters and dares not take a break , his long absence as known caused a great loss and he doesn't want anymore of that or else he would grant his father a chance of recovering the company from his grasp.
"Have mercy on us that have no partner to cozy on" Dora joke in ,freezing her hands for her arms. Stealing a warmth from her own emotion to her longing heart.
"Speak for yourself"
They turn to find Jane in the arms of her own man, sending warm smiles at them.
"Great" she grumbles in her breathe. One isn't enough now another couple has to accompany, why, why God of romance?.
"James and I are helping you guys decide on your choices since we're your best man and bride's maid"
"You I have no problem with but did he have to come along?"
'ha,ha'
" Am not the one that asked your fiance to be at work when he should be here cooling your temper" James rubs in with a chuckle that shut dead the second he spot Jane's hard gaze.
No one taunts either of them infront of each other, that's their girl code.
"If you're done with your kitty plays ,shall we ?" Dave asked
Exhausted as it is, they rests their heads as the brides choose their heart out for their special day . After their selections , comes the fitting. The on and off repeats till Dora is satisfied to a final choice of the heart.
Next in June, who straight up knows what she wants from her two choices, with it on she walks out. Her first appearance evokes dazzles in the hearts , scanning the imperfect white on her slim body, gripping every breath on her. The shoulders trap with thin ropes that can easily be drop, his gaze scans through the embroidered beads that tails to the excess gown greeting the floor, shading out the sliver heel she has selected.
"So what do you think?" She asked smoothing her hands on her side hips.
" Beautiful " James comments
"You look great, I think this the one" Dora cheers out.
"True, you look breathe taken. But has none told you that it bad luck to have your groom sees you in your special dress before the wedding?" Jane questions lash in silence air of fright on their faces.
"That's just myths, you look perfect and nothing will stop me from getting marry to you" Dave's words ease in the worried minds.
.....
" Dinner time"
The tray comes slapping her feet, she force a muscle away from the eye sore meal but she's hold back by her weak body and grumbling stomach . With less choice at hand she brings her body close to the tray only to be drawn back by the unpleasant smell and looks of the rice all mixed with colored.
"I'm not eating that, let me out" she yells the second the tape loosens from her mouth.
"Not eating, that's fine by me little one. You can starve for all I care" Lizzy said
"My parents will find me and you'll be in big trouble " she scolds staring at the face that shows no move to be intimidated by her threats. Instead it crooks a maniac chuckle that spiked cloudy dark spots in her, more of a desire to have her parents come then the gun will start.
Fear in heart, Beth clutches her legs to her face, reciting the poem her father reads to her every time she gets dark night dreams.
"Honey am going to let them find you but it won't be while you're still breathing" her dead eyes testifies truth in her words.
She's too young to die and even if she's to die why in such a condition. She isn't sure what's the big issue to tackle, the fact that she would die in her father's insane ex girlfriend's hands or the stomach that's groaning and twisting in pain.
"That day I called him, begged him to rush to my aid but he didn't show up on time all because he was out with you ,having fun while I suffered in pain. I lost my child because of you, you have to die that's the only way out"
….
The boys wait back on the girls to have their last arrangements made before departing.
On the wait, Dave's pull his phone that buzz in his pocket, on little hesitant he scrolls on the green.
"Meet me once , please just this once after that I promise I'll leave for the US with no coming back" the voice which he recognized as Bella's, pleads out.
" I can't "
"Dave if you don't come I promise you I'll kill myself. I'm not asking for much ,just one meet. You have thirty minutes to reach here" the call ends with those words.
"If that was her don't take whatever she said serious. She's nothing but bad news.." James cautions .
For second he stays silence, he wants nothing to do with her and he isn't willing to go but she's his patient and from results of test runs she has a mental issues up in her head, irgnoring her call and threats can result to fatal things , that he doesn't want to risk.
" You decide Dave , June or her. In less than a minute June will be out here, what would you have her think to find you gone?"
They were on the conversation, after minutes of choice to stay and wait on June . His phone buzz again ,this time it's an alert, he looks in to view a clip of Bella slicing her wrist with knife.
"I'm not playing Dave, come or you'll have a dead patient.
"Dave" James sighs as he sees nothing but worry in his friend's eyes. He knows he'll leave for the sly girl's rescue.
..….
"Will he show up?" She glances at her friend in the mirror, a scrap smirk form on her lips as she attached the bandage on her bleeding wrist.
"He will that for sure. He'll never watch anyone die on his watch, it just so him"
Her respond comes with a knock on her door, her lips brighten with sense of whom it is . She haste her pace to the door
"You're here" she pulls off her warm embrace that got nothing in return.
" You don't look happy to see me, why?" she asked grabbing his hands inside.
"Is it because I was late for our date, Dave I told you mom fell sick so I'd to be there for her"
He watch in baffled to her change in character and speech, she reaches for her top shelf and revealed out a bottle. Her acts distress serious issue, it like her brain has grabbed the past events as the future one, stumbling over all the recent ones.
"Cherry wine, your favorite. I've been saving for months now to get this for you. Happy birthday Dave"
He sighs out with her brain repeating things from the past.
That year they celebrated his birthday at his dorm room with them alone as each other's company. To make it special ,she saved months of allowance to get him his favorite wine. They drank their hearts out a little much, causing a mix feelings . With hands on each other, they danced half the night away, closing every gap.
In second their hands went on each other, consummating their first nights as couples.
" Bella,…"
"And yes, meet my friend Josephine" she introduce directing her gaze to the mirror that reflects nothing.
" Bella, there's no one there " he said guiding his hands for his face. He didn't take her case to be this serious but it seems to be worse than the results said to me.
"Don't be silly, that's Josephine right there. We've been friends for five years now. Josephine say hi to Dave my boyfriend " he sighs, capping his face in his hands.
"I should get you to the hospital " her smile dies the second he said the last word, she strips her legs behind.
"Why will you take me to the hospital, do you think am mad?, is that it?".
"No, but you can get much help being there. Just come with me" he gently pulls her to the direction he wants.
"Fine, but first you have this wine with me. Today's your birthday after all, let have a toast to that".
He gulps it the second the glass rests in his hand. He just wants to get things done and have her sent to the hospital where he believes she will get better help from.
"Let go" his second step misses it spot , he still his gaze to find the floor dancing . He turns his gaze on Bella that spite smiles at him as he loses his weight to the floor.
"Bingo, you fell for my tricks but no worries am gonna take good care of you" she let her fingers run through his face, guiding them to his lips that she steals a kiss from.
"June, you see I own the last laugh" with these she grabs his phone from his pocket and dialed the number she believes will only belong to June as it saved as ' Wife '.
..…
Her legs jogs off the bed the second the call comes in from Dave, she have been waiting since she got back and found him no where. James said little as he went for a work and left.
"You're so in trouble do you know that" she scolds , yearning for his respond. In most cases he would subdue in apologizing and rewarding her with whatever she wants. But this time the silence raise tension in her heart and mind, driving her into thousands thoughts of the situation .
"Dave, Dave , are you alright?"
Her hand clutched her chest with the out sound that comes as respond. With body fold on the floor she listens to the moans and groans of both parties exchanging a pleasure time.
The voices she easily recognizes , her fiance and his ex, sharing a night bed while she's at the other end listening.
