Ariana's pov:
It's finally that day, my supposed wedding day . I'm dressed in my handpicked sheath dress looking all elegant and pretty but I didn't feel that much inside.
I had to stand my ground tonight.
I stare at the man I'm about to marry, nothing but joy , pretense joy ok his face and I scan the behind me at Evelyn. Nothing but rage in her eyes.
I had had Cy become my maud if honor after that night , Cy deserved that much from me .
It's time to b wedded but I know I don't want to be wedded to this animal so I tell the priest that we have our vows to make because we actually do.
I go first.
"I vow to keep our relationship a safe haven of love, support and peace—even and especially during hard times. I promise to always tell you how much I love you and appreciate all that you do. I vow to give you all of my love every day without hesitation. I promise to love you through the good times and bad. Just as you have, you have shown me what true love means and I'm grateful to Gid for sending you my way. This little video will complete my vow today. As you watch it I pray you truly understand how much I love you and how much it'd hurt me if someone ever took you away from me.
I love you"
I signal the media technicians to play my little video.
It comes up and moans fill the air , the gasps that fill the air are music to my ears
But I wouldn't lie to myself it hurt just as much as yesterday and for the first time I see chase for who he really is
A manipulator, a cheat, an actual psycho and the lots .
I look at chase and Evelyn with tears streaming down my face.
Chase looks even a bit remorseful probably out of embarrassment but Evelyn? Not an ounce of remorsefulness rather she looks happy.
Before my mother can get to me I run out of the venue and jump into my car and speed away. Far away from all that looked like chase and Evelyn, that bitch .
For the first time I feel hopeless, helpless, lost . I switch off my phone refusing to be in contact with the rest of the world .
I drive on until I see a bar and enter.
I settle down and for the first time order more than two shots.
****************************
I really outdid myself this time, ugghhh I rushed down to the toilet to remove the remains if the alcohol in my system and that's when I realize,
Shit shit shit! This isn't my apartment, I tried to recall the events of the I'll previous evening but nothing comes to me. I might as well rename myself Jessica. Yh that would be befitting right? I mean we've all met a Jessica in our lives that lives recklessly and just lives life as it comes yeah?
How could I be so reckless and go home with a stranger, this wasn't me? Was I developing symptoms of DID? (Multiple personalities disorder). Maybe, just maybe.
I look around for a minute and take in my surroundings, I move back to the bed I was on and see a man , the man I no doubt I had sex with the previous night.
I sneered at that, as if. They couldn't care less about me and how I felt about what went down yesterday.
"Yh right, they actually do care and yet here I am "
Cynthia ignores that and just goes on
"Well, where have you been? Babes I know you're not okay right now and shouldn't be on your own where are you ? I'll be on my way"
Truly the only one who cared about me was Cynthia but I wanted to be alone right now especially with the hangover I had at the moment.
"That sounds great and all Cy but I'll be fine, I just need to relax and be cut off from the world for a while I'll be fine I promise"
"Well, unfortunately for you I'm not buying that. Where are you?"
I giggled in response to that,
" If only you know where I've been and what went down you'd be more worried about my mental health than my feelings about yesterday "
"What are you talking about Ari? "
Yh pet names, we were the cliche best friends you'd find in novels, pet names, picnic dates and the whole lot. Been like that for five years now. I would tell you how I met her but I have bigger concerns.
" Cy, I'll hit you later okay I've got to go to the bathroom right...
I didn't finish that sentence when I puked on my Parisian rug. Damn that was very expensive, probably the most expensive thing in my apartment right now.
"Ari? What's wrong?"
" Nothing babes I'm good" I call out loud enough for her to hear over the phone .
When I'm sure okay I stand up and get my phone from the floor where I'd left it and cut the call on Cynthia.
I really don't have the strength to think about anything right now, so I just decide to sleep off my hangover.
I sleep for almost a whole day and remember life isn't over because some idiot didn't love me enough to it cheat on me
So I stand up and get something, actual food for my stomach.
I walk down the street to a regular food truck stand and order tacos and noodles.
I gulp down the Taco before I even went back home then I transfer the noodles into an actual plate and eat it .
"Mmmm" the taste so heavenly. More so because It's really long I had noddles .
After I clean up I call my best friend, I actually need to talk to someone before I end up crazy
"Cy"
"Ari, are you okay? Scratch that, how are you holding up I know how much you loved that looser."
"I'm surprisingly okay. My only problem right now is that I slept with someone last night after I got drunk and without protection "
"What?"
"Don't make it more serious Cy, I already know it is serious. I'm not so sure I didn't use protection. I just really can't remember details from yesterday "
