Adriana P.O.V.

"Please put down your files and pay attention please!"

I reluctantly looked away from the files of my current case and glared at Madison. She was hovering around my hair, curling and braiding it in an intricate pattern that I was sure would be a pain in the ass to take out latter.

Madison placed her hands on her hips and glared at me,

"This is your wedding day, bitch. You can stop being the top law student at Harvard for one day!"

"But this is my first case and I need to make sure tha-"

"That what? You need to make sure you ruin your wedding day? As your maid of honor, I am confiscating this!"

She snatched my briefcase and threw it to Loraine, who took it away to hide it. I pouted and gave up, allowing Madison to do my hair and Loraine to do my hair. Despite my air, I was beyond excited.

Me and Jake had been together five years until he had finally purposed. He had wanted to wait till we were out of college and I was happy to wait. He had purposed simply.

He had taken me back to the garden and placed the main milestone of our relationship. He had given me a bouquet of red roses then got on one knee to present me the ring.

I looked down at the engagement ring that glistened on my finger. Everything seemed so unreal.

"You excited for tonight, Adriana?"

"Huh?!"

I snapped out of my daze and stared at Madison in horror as my cheeks turned bright red. She smirked,

"Or are you nervous?"

I whined and buried my face in my hands,

"I am not talking about this to you on my wedding day!"

Loraine piped up,

"Its not that bad. On me and Luci's wedding night he was actually more nervous than me-"

"YOU WERE A VIRGIN ON YOUR WEDDING NIGHT?!"

Madison burst out and stared at Loraine in surprise. Loraine simply grinned,

"I wasn't the virgin that night. Afterwards, neither of us were-"

"I DONT WANT TO HEAR ANYMORE HELP MADISON MY EARS ARE BLEEDING!"

I wailed and covered my ears. Why did I chose them to be my bridesmaids?!

Madison just chuckled and went back to styling my hair. She had been working on it for thirty freakin minutes. Finally I snapped,

"Do you know what you are even doing, Mads?"

She nodded confidently,

"I saw it on Pintrest don't worry!"

Lucas had already done my makeup to absolute perfection so after this all I had left to do was put on my dress and veil and walk down the isle to my future.

Nerves fluttered up from the pit of my stomach and I whispered,

"I dont think I can do this..."

"Bitch you are not allowed to get cold feet now!"

Madison screamed and slammed the flatiron down on the counter. I flinched,

"Its not that I'm getting cold feet, I'm beyond ready to marry Jake. But what if he changes his mind? What if he realizes he can do so much better? What if I fall as I walk down the isle?"

Tears brimmed at the corner of my eyes. Madison and Loraine rushed in front of me and grabbed my hands. Madison spoke up first,

"Look Adriana. Everything is going to be perfect. You have a sexy handsome man out there who is crazy in love with you and always will. Remember you guys are high school sweethearts. And secondly, if you fall in the isle, after I laugh and upload it to Youtube, I will kick your ass."

Loraine snorted when Madison said this and then talked to me,

"Crystal and her new fiancé are going to escort you down the isle so they wont let anything happen to you."

Her saying it out loud made me feel better but it also brought up another pain in my chest.

My Dad should be here. He should be here to cry and escort his little girl down the isle.

A few weeks ago I had gotten a letter in the mail. It was from Lancaster, England. I had been confused but opened it and found a pile of pictures and a letter. The pictures were of Dad.

Apparently, he had moved to England and had gotten into a rehabilitation program for alcoholism and anger management. He had been in there for a year before being released and meeting a lady his age. They had fallen in love and had been married. Her name was Joey I think. What had shocked me the most was that I now had another sibling. A little brother named Alex.

The pictures showed his new wife and my new brother. He had apologized that he couldn't be there for me but he was happy I was having a good life. He said in the future he would fly out his new family to meet me and Zero.

I didn't really begrudge him for replacing me and Mom. Granted, at first it had really hurt but I was glad he was happy. He had been clean for three years and was dedicated to his new life and family and I was happy with my life. Maybe things were meant to stay like this.

Also, I don't really know what happened to Tirana. I think she got shipped off to a fancy woman's college out of the country to train crazy teenagers into groomed wives. Bet she's having fun there.

While I was thinking Madison had finished my hair and my nails were dry so I was being ushered into the room where my dress was.

Every time I saw it I fell in love with it more and more.

It was a fit and flare with silver and a ruffled bottom. There was a small flower near the bottom and made me look slime and elegant.

Madison and Loraine helped me get in the dress then placed the veil in my hair, letting it hang over my face. I stepped into my glittering flats then I was done. Madison held her hands over my eyes and led me outside to where a mirror stood.

"Ok are you ready to see yourself as a bride?"

I nodded and felt a grin threaten to split my face apart.

It was the day had been dreaming of since I was a little girl, the day I married the love of my life. I wanted to see myself as a bride.

My breath caught when I saw myself in the mirror. I looked radiant and beautiful. I could barely recognize myself.

I touched my cheek,

"Do you think Jake will like it?"

Madison rolled her eyes,

"Honey, you could go out there wearing a bright yellow fluffy prom dress from Justice and he would still want to marry you. In this he's gonna loose his mind."

Loraine piped up,

"Do you know how you get a guy to think your beautiful?"

I looked at her and she continued,

"You grab them by the di-"

I slapped my hand over her mouth before she could finish. Madison laughed and gave her knuckles.

"Guys stop thats not funny!"

Madison looked innocent,

"We were just trying to help you out. Jake would think your a goddess if you-"

I screamed and slammed my hands over my ears,

"Please stop! No more!"

"They are ready for you, Adriana."

A little boy about five bearing a pillow with the rings split into a big grin and ran to Loraine,

"Momma look at what Grandpa gave me to hold!"

Loraine smiled and ruffled his hair,

"Thats great Bart. Why don't you go find Rosa and we will follow you there?"

"Okay!"

He ran out of the room looking for Rosalyn. I smiled at Loraine,

"I would never have begged you for a good mother."

She chuckled,

"They grow on you."

Madison pretended to gag,

"Ugh all you happy taken people while I'm here freakin single."

Reece had broken up with Madison two years ago when he left to go join the Marines. He was going to be frontline and he didn't want to cause Madison the grief if something happened to him.

It had taken three tubs of Ben and Jerry's ice-cream and a buttload of Leonardo Dicaprio to fix her but she gradually recovered but hadn't started seeing anyone else.

She would never admit it, but she was waiting for Reece to come back.

Crystal and her fiancé Robert stuck their heads in the room and grinned at me,

"Ready to go, beautiful wife to be?"

I laughed and walked over to them, linking my arms through theirs.

"Ive always been ready."

We walked through the hallway and Madison and Loraine had to scurry off to join the other bridesmaids, not before giving me quick kisses on the cheek though.

Barr and Rosalyn stood in front of us, bearing the rings and flowers. The sound of the pipe organ started to play, signaling me to enter.

I took a deep breath and watched as the doors opened, everyone I had ever loved standing up to look at me. But I hardly noticed them. The only person I noticed was Jake.

He stared at me with awe and love. He was wearing a classic black tuxedo and look dashingly heart clinchingly handsome. Love made my body tingle to the tips of toes. So many words passed betweens us as we simply looked at each other.

I finally made it in front of him and he grabbed my hands staring at me. He mouthed to me,

'You look beautiful'

I smirked and mouthed back,

'So do you'

He pouted at me. Neither of us really payed attention to the priest, we just kept going through the notions. Jake kept mouthing comments and words to me, making it really hard for me to pay attention.

"By the power invested in my by the state of California I know pronounce you husband and wife. Jacob Collins, you may now kiss your bride."

He grabbed my hand and twirled my around before tilting me down and gave me a light happy kiss. We laughed and I yelped in surprise as Jake scooped me up and jogged down the isle with me, our crowd cheering and clapping.

Everyone chucked rice at us as we ran up to our limo and Jake practically threw me inside. I giggled as he slipped in after me, covered in rice.

I ruffled his hair and a pile of rice fell out making me laugh harder. He pouted and wrapped his hands around my hips,

"You look amazing, Mrs. Adriana Collins."

I smiled and gave him a kiss, whispering against his lips,

"You're not so bad yourself, Mr. Jacob Collins."

He kissed me and I kissed him back, my chest threatening to burst from happiness.

"I love you, Jake."

He closed his eyes and whispered back reverently,

"I love you too, Bookworm."

As we drove around the city, dragging cans behind us, we kissed in the back of the limo, now husband and wife for the rest of our lives.

So much had happened to both of us but we had pulled through.

I love Jake Collins and always will. It may be unorthodox for the quite little nerd and the dark mysterious bad boy to fall in love but fate has its own plan. And its plan was for me to love Jake and for Jake to love me.

A while ago, I was shy and insecure but now I am loud and confident. After all, I have to be if

The end~
