"I…" no one was coming to my rescue. Not my mother, or my brother, not even Sam. I was in this alone. "Answer…" "No." It was so low I thought everyone would miss it. But they didn't, Adam's face was proof. " No." "What do you mean no?" If he was scared or mad, I couldn't tell but I didn't care. He was the least of my problems now. In one swift motion, I threw my veil over my head so I could get a clearer view. My eyes roamed the church as I deftly ignored everyone else. Mum was on her feet, a puzzled expression on her face. Blake, well he was being Blake. I kept on searching till my eyes fell on a scrawny man at the back of the priest. He had just finished hoisting a screen with a projector right in front of it. The moment our eyes met, he gave me a thumbs-up before scurrying away again. "Alessia." Adam's voice called out to me again. I'd totally forgotten about the chaos I'd started, until now. " What is the meaning of this?" I searched for my mother and I found her, her eye

I watched as we zoomed past the beautiful buildings, the world on the other side passing by in nothing but a blur. A cacophony of colors swirled against the raindrops that slid down the limousine's windows, giving me a live view of a real-life painting. It was beautiful, and maybe if I was in a better mood, I would have enjoyed it. But now, nothing, nothing else asides from the plan I had in mind could patch up my shattered heart. "... we're late because of you." I found myself tuning into my mother's recent conversation. She was seated opposite me as she lashed out. Whether it was at me or the driver, I wasn't exactly sure. " Do you know what this means?" "I'm talking to you Alessia." I guess she actually was talking to me. "What do you have to say for yourself?" " I'm sorry," I mumbled without emotion. Everyone was tensed up, me included, the last thing I wanted was to push my problems on someone else. " I'm really sorry mum. I didn't mean to make us late." "Oh, It's okay. " She

"To my sunshine." I grabbed the letter before reading it out loud, a goofy grin on my face. " I can't wait a second to make you mine, but before that, here's a bouquet of roses to remind you that nothing can stand next to how beautiful you are." My grin widened as I hugged the bouquet, its scent wafting through my nostrils. This entire gesture was so Adam; he was the sweetest man in the world and I was so lucky to have bagged him. Another sigh slid past my lips. I missed him terribly. We hadn't seen or spoken to each other in the past week. Why? Because Sam insisted we didn't. She had this crazy ritual that included no calls, texts, or meetings between the bride and groom until the wedding day. Since she was a mutual friend and it was all good fun, we couldn't say no right? A thought occurred to me almost instantly. I was alone and had plenty of time so no one would know, right? It didn't take long for me to decide; I was going to do it. After gently setting the roses aside, I made

I gently pushed the door to my bedroom shut. When a small click reached my ears, I heaved a sigh of relief. I had no idea why I'd just done that. Mum was probably halfway to slumber town now, so why was I so worried that I would have woken her?I sighed again, before gently clasping my hands together. A slight tremble rocked my fingers, but I kept them together, going they would stop soon.Luckily for me, it didn't last long. The moment I witnessed the last of it, I headed to my study desk in the corner of the room and pulled out my books. I had a test in the morning, and AP Chemistry, isn't something you just waltz through with an empty brain. I knew there was trouble the moment I read the first line and was unable to grasp anything. After trying for the second and third time, and still nothing had changed, I just knew I was cooked. There was no way I could focus on studying, not when there was something on my mind. No, not something. Someone.Zayn.No matter how many times I t
