"If he wasn't with Caleb he would be with you." "What? Who said that?" I asked, sitting up. "Charlie?" "Shhh. Don't wake up Abby. It's her big day tomorrow." I looked over and saw Charlie in sitting in the corner. "She was always the tough girl. I never would have guessed she would be the first to get married." He said, looking at Abby who was sound asleep. "Yeah. I've never seen her so crazy before either. Even when she was on drugs she was less crazy." I said, and laughed. "She'll have the best day of her life tomorrow." He said. "I wish you could be there." I told him. "Me too. We'll I'll sort of be there." He said. "Promise?" I asked. "I promise." He said, and tossed me the bracelet he gave me for Christmas before he died. "How-How did you get this?" I asked. "I don't know. It was just in my hand when I showed up here tonight." He said. I put it on my wrist. "I better go. You need your rest too." He said, and walked over and kissed my cheek. I smiled. "Bye." I said. "Bye." He said. "Oh, and Simon can't sleep." "What?" I asked, and looked over at the door. When I looked back up he was gone. I looked at my wrist and I still had the bracelet on. "Weird." I whispered to myself. I got up and snuck out to the living room. "Simon?" I whispered. "Yeah?" I heard. "Can you sleep?" I asked him. "No." He said. "Good." I told him, and climbed into bed with him. He put his arm around me and I felt him smell my hair. "You smell good." He said, and I giggled. "Tomorrow is going to be pretty crazy." I told him. "Yeah. I'll be okay. Will you?" He asked. "Yeah." I said, and sighed. "Simon, there are some things I think I should tell you. You should hear them from me." I told him. "What is it?" He asked. I took a dep breath, then answered. "Tomorrow you are going to meet a few more guys at the wedding. And I have in some way or another been involved with most of them." I said, then looked away. "How many is most of them?" He asked. "I didn't want to ever have this conversation with you." I told him. "It's okay." He said, and hugged me. "Well, We'll start with Luke." I told him. "I guessed that. You guys still kind of have a little chemestry, don't you?" He asked. "I guess." I told him. "Caleb too." "Really? That is a little weird." He said. "I know. And my best friend Will. But you knew about Will. And there was Travis, the manager of The House Of Blues. He is the one that bought my share of the ownership." I added. "Okay." He said. "And this guy Parker. But I didn't sleep with him. I just hung out with him." I told him. "Uh-huh." He said. "And this guy Matt, but the same thing as with Parker." I told him. "Oh. And Chase, by boyfriend for about four years, before any of the other guys." I told him. "Wow." He said. "I know." I said, and looked away. "It's okay." He said. "It's not normal." I told him. "It is. Well...some of it isn't. But most of it is." He said. "Oh, and I almost slept with Chase's cousin, Kado." I threw in. Simon laughed. "What?" I asked. "You are so cute. You know, I know you better then you think, and I also know that every one of these people must have meant something to you. It's okay." He said. "Besides, we all have pasts." "Wait, what do you mean by that?" I asked sitting up. "Well, I know I've been with more girls then you have guys. But that was a long time ago." He said. I let the subject drop. "I should get back there in case Abby wakes up." I said. "Aww. I don't want you to go." Simon said, and hugged me. "I know. I don't want to go either." I said, and kissed him. We kissed for a minute, then I got up. "I love you." I told him. There was just enough light from the clock on the DVD player for me to see Simon smile. "Love you too." He said. I walked back to the room and fell asleep right away.
"Abby. Abby! Come on, get up! It's 8:30! I said, pulling the blankets off of her. "One more minute." She mumbled. "Abby! NO! Renae and I are already showered. The massage lady will be here in half an hour, come on!" I shouted. Abby slowly got out of bed, grabbed her bathroom stuff and stumbled to the bathroom. I just laughed, and walked out to the kitchen to see everyone else. Simon, Caleb, Luke, and Renae were all at the table eating breakfast and drinking coffee. "Hello beautful." Luke said. "Hello." I said, and sat down next to Simon. "How did you sleep?" Simon asked, and kissed me. "Okay." I said. "Had to have slept better then Luke." Caleb said. "What?" I asked. Luke glared at Caleb. "Luke keeps having these crazy crazy dreams." Caleb said. "They aren't crazy." Luke said. "What are they?" I asked. "About Charlie." Caleb answerd for him. I dropped my fork, and looked at Luke. "Caleb!" Luke said between gritted teeth. "You too?" I asked. "We'll talk about it later." Luke said. "Okay." I said, and dropped it. I was no longer hungry though. I managed to force myself to eat a few more bites. Simon put his hand on my leg. I just smiled at him, and poured myself a glass of orange juice. Abby came walking out a few minutes later. "ABBY!" Renae shouted, breaking the awkward silence. "Hey guys." Abby said, and yawned. "Sit, eat." Luke said, standing up, and pulling out a chair for her. "I can't. I'm shaking I'm so nervous." She said. "You have to eat something. Have some toast." Luke said, and handed her two peices and some Jelly. He started spreading the jelly, and she smacked him. "Ow! What the hell?" He asked. "I'm not 2 She said, taking the knife, and the toast from him. "Geeze. Sorry." He said, and sat down. We all laughed. Abby had just finished her toast when there was a knock at the door. "Must be massage time." I said, and stood up and opened the door.
The rest of the day went by in a blur! The wedding was at 5:00 at The House of Blues. I was in the office waiting with Abby and her sister. I was trying to finish up my make up, but Abby kept spazing out. And Renea didn't know quite how to handle her. I sighed, and put my eyelash curler bac down on the desk. "Abby. Don't cry. You look amazing." I told her. "Thank you." She said. "I mean it." I told her, and fixed her veil. "What I would give for a joint." She muttered. "ABBY! Don't even joke about that." I told her, remembering back to the summer before Charlie died when she nearly overdosed on drugs at the very desk I was attempting to apply my make up at. "Sorry." She said. "It's okay. Now let me finish getting ready." I told her. "Okay." She said, and stood up. Renea walked over and started fixing her dress. I sat down and looked at the mini vanity mirror. My hair was done in a vintage 40's style to go with the dress, and the theme of Abby's wedding. In my dress, and with my hair and make-up I looked like a vintage pin-up girl. I laughed, and couldn't wait for Simon to see me. I had just finished when there was a knock on the door. It opened a crack. "5 minutes." I heard someone say. I looked up and it was Travis. "Travis." I said, and stood up. "Robyn." He said. Travis and I had just started to actual date right before Charlie died. In fact, Travis had stopped Charlie a few nights before that from raping me. I thought about it all and how crazy everything was at home. "How have you been?" He asked me. "Good." I said. "You?" I asked. "Better." He said, and smiled. "See ya." He said, and shut the door. "See ya." I whispered, even though he was gone. Seeing him was alot harder then I thought it was going to be. "Who was that?" Renea asked. "Travis. He's the manager." Abby told her. "Oh." She said, dropping the subject. "Well, I guess that means we go out front." I said, taking Abby's hand. We all walked out. Remae wemt and sat down next to Caleb near the front. Abby and I just stood and looked in at everyone sitting down and looking up at the stage. It was packed. Abby didn't have any close family, accept for Renea I guess. I was going to be surprised if her mom was even there, so it was all friends sitting out there. I saw Luke standing up on the stage looking incredibly nervous. He was going to be marrying them. Then I looked up and saw Carl and his brother Standing in front of the stage by the stairs that had been temporarily put up by the center of the stage, so Carl and Abby could walk up them and join Luke for the vows. "It looks beautiful in there." I said. "Like a dream" Abby said. "Exactly like a dream." I said, thinking back to the dream, or whatever it was I had a few nights before. There was a band, Parkers I noticed, set up behind luke on the stage. A keyboard started playing. "Well. Here we go." I said. "Here we go." Abby said. I walked out first and stood on the opposite side of Carl's brother. I spotted Simon on the other side of Caleb, and blew him a kiss. The music changed, and Abby started walking down the eisle. I started crying when I saw her. She looked so beautiful.
