"I got her to play the song at the wedding. Now can you please get the fucking picture down?" Myra asks me and I chuckle.
"I had the picture taken down before we made these plans." I wink at Myra and she literally takes her heel off and throws it at me.
"What the fuck Amyra!"
"Hit him with the second one, don't fucking slack off!" Jace yells and I glare at him.
"You had me thinking there was a picture of me with a hickey on my neck on the internet for my brown parents to see!" she yells.
"I had the people take it down!" I yell back and she sighs.
"Well anyways, I did my part of the plan." Amyra says and I nod.
"I had at least fifty tabloids tag her in wedding shit. She's probably so fucking pissed." Jace says.
Alright, let me explain. McKay Industries is now mine, but I don't want my dad to know that just yet, but when he does, I never wanna forget the look on his face. On the other hand, Sophia and I are in love but we're both fucking cowards. So I came up with a plan.
A really fucking good plan.
Plan A, Sophia is tired of everything and admits her feelings during my wedding. My dad pulls his 'I tell you what to do because I own that company.' card on me and I pull out my fucking papers.
Killed two birds with one stone, have the girl of my dreams and victory of finally beating my dad at his own game.
Now I'm a coward to admit I'm in love with my best friend, but I'm not a fucking idiot.
Plan B, say Sophia's name instead of Piper's. Call me a dick, but Piper deserves the embarrassment she'll get from that. She's a bitch to everyone.

Once again, two birds with one stone.
"Alright I'm out. The plan's gonna work Axton, don't worry." Myra tells me as she walks out.
"Can we get a drink?" Jace says and I look at him because usually that's my sentence.
"Girl trouble?" I smirk and he nods walking out the door.
Huh?
"Sophia, Axton wants to see you before the wedding!" Eleanor tells me and I nod, putting my earings on.
"Alright Sophia, my work here is done." Clair says as she walks out the door."
"Thank you Clair!" I tell her.
I turn to the mirror, my red dress, fit me perfectly. Too bad, red was my least favorite color. It's a good color, just not for me.
My hair was perfect, my make-up was perfect. I was just crying silently.
"Come on! Sophia, Axton! Now! He has to be out there in five." Eleanor says and I take in a breath getting up.
"On it." I say. She frowns at me and I look away. Everyone at this point kept 'checking up on me.'
I walk to his room, where I'm met with a really nervous Jace.
"Jacey? You okay?" I ask him and he nods.
"What's wrong?"
"I- I don't know." he says looking away from me. Jace is hiding something from me.
"Jace what's wrong-"
"Babe, they're looking for you." Kiara says and I look Jace closely.
"Jace-" Kiara pulls him away from me and I loose it.
Maybe it's because she's been wearing that necklace or maybe because she gives me a weird vibe. Possibly because Axton is getting married, I'm acting out.
"Kiara let me talk to Jace, alone." I say and she drops his hand walking out.
"What's wrong, Jace?"
"Soph, think about Axton and Piper, and think about your feelings, then decide if you're going to sit there and watch them get married." Jace says then walks away.

God, I'm going to break down and the wedding hasn't even begun yet.
I turn to the door, I see Axtin in front of the mirror, struggling with his tie. I push the door open and walk in.
"Hey pretty boy." I say as I walk over to him.
"Hey Soph, where's-" he stops talking as he looks at me and smirks.
"You look beautiful." he says and I flash him a small smile.
"Thank you." I say as I hit his hand away and begin fixing his tie.
"Axton, the alter in two minutes!" My mom yells.
"You wanted to see me?" I ask him.
"Yeah uh, just wanted to say thanks for everything you've done for me. You've always been there Soph. It's always you, you stayed when no one did." he says, but his eyes look into mines as if he's telling me, think harder.
"You're welcome." I mumble, stepping back from him.
"Axton! Go! Now!" Eleanor yells and he smiles at me. Before he walks out he looks at me.
"If you think I'm doing something wrong, then please stop me." he says before walking out.
Sophia don't cry. Do not cry. Do not.
"Where's Jace- there Soph is. Kimberly I found her!" Myra yells and Eleanor, Myra and my mom walk in.
"Sophia, listen baby we're here for you." Mom says and I start crying.
"Soph I don't want to upset you, but you need to tell Axton okay?" Eleanor tells me and I can't find any words to reply to her.
"Come here." Myra hugs me and I break down. There goes my make-up.
"We'll leave you two." Mom and Eleanor walk out.
"Come on, let's fix your make-up." Myra says.
---
I step out the room and walk through the halls of the church.
The rows, filled with guests. The cameras are live. This is really happening.
I look down the aisle and my eyes meet his. I look away, because I can't ruin my make-up anymore.
I walk to the row where I was seated, next to Shyla.
As everyone settles in. The music plays and we all stand up, turning around.
Piper and her dad break the corner, she looked amazing in the dress. Everyone smiled, but I looked at her mom, you would think she's crying, but she's just there. Her face holding a blank expression.
They arrive at the end of the aisle and Piper's hands are placed into Axton's.
Never in my life, have I felt my heart sink so deep into my chest.
We take our seats.
"Welcome love ones. We are gathered here today to join, Axton and Piper in holy matrimony."
"If there is anyone that objects to this union, please speak now or forever hold your peace."
Every freaking soul looks at me. I look at the fucking floor because what am I supposed to do?
"We shall carry on with the vows." Eighteen by One Direction begins playing in the background.
"Axton, repeat after me. I, Axton McKay, promise."
So kiss me where I lay down, my hands pressed to your cheeks.
"To cherish you always."
A long way from the playground.
"To honor and sustain."
That's our song.
That should have been us. It should be.
I look at Myra and she gives me that 'Do it!' look.
Jace's gaze falls onto me and he gives me the same look.
Suddenly my feet stand up on its own and my mouth speaks.
"Stop the wedding," I say.
"Stop the wedding!" Another voice, an unknown voice says and the attention turns away from me to the girl in the middle of the church. Okay, but Thank you for running in here and taking the attention away from me.
"You-" she gasps for breath as if she ran all the way here.
"She- she isn't Piper Fallon! I am," she says and everyone starts mumbling.
