That weekend was magical, filled of love, dancing and just spending time with each other. That weekend was dear to us, but

that was a far time away and I urned for another break. But as we came back to the city, we were both busy, with my midterms coming up, Nolan's work and a wedding to plan we had found few moments of relief to hold us together.

The wedding was nearing and luckily everything was set, guests from overseas had bought their tickets, rooms were being booked for our special day and the venue was all ready to go.

"Just, a little bit left today, that's all", he rubbed my back as he laid next to me letting our alarm ring. I rolled over to see his beautiful face as I leaned up and kissed him.

"I'm excited", I whispered as he nodded, he leaned above me as he played with my hair taking out pieces.

" I am more excited about our honeymoon", he said joyfully in a playful tone as I knew exactly why he said that, and I couldn't lie I was excited about that too. I laughed slightly as he began getting out of bed, I pulled his arm back as I let out a "no" sound and he came back to bed. He picked me up and walked towards the bathroom as I hung on him like a koala.

After our extravaganzas this morning entailed, he left giving me a kiss on the cheek and a flash of that cute butt of his. I changed into a dress as Miss Celine had asked for, she even sent me the dress all packaged in a petite box. I grabbed my purse and a set of keys and went out the door.

I entered into the tea room, waiting to feel the wrath of old ladies staring and waiting to smell that scent of a grandma, but instead it was posh, filled with money I assume and as I asked her where the room was she directed me towards the back.

And as I walked in the lights were off and I turned around the associate was gone, she had vanished. All of a sudden a blindfold was placed over my head, the giggles that filled the room let me know that this was my bachelorette party, fun fun fun right. I was led onto a bus as the blindfold was torn off my eyes, a loud "Suprise" was yelled from the top of their lungs as the smell of booze and dental floss, what a weird combination.

"Thank you", I mouthed to Avery as the random girls swarmed around me, girls I had no clue who they were. I knew Avery threw this party to get the big things off my mind, but yet in the back of my mind I felt so selfish, I was living this glamorous life, this life that I took granted for every second, while my sister could be lingering the street alone at any given moment, it shook me to pieces as I imagined her.

"Drink this", Avery handed it to me as other girls talked by the bar, I took the cup and gulped it down feeling the burn of it against my throat.

"Who are those girls?", I pointed to the rowdy bunch that was doing body- shots off each other, they seemed fun definitely the life of the party, as Avery and I lounged in the corner and Caroline texted on her phone smiling brightly, I could guess who she was smiling at.

"Just some models who wanted to party, they are really fun though", she grabbed another drink as the girls pulled her in the dancing circle and she tugged me with her. Soon everyone was drunk and waiting for a real party, Avery led us into a store and as I walked in I knew what this was.

"Grab the sexiest thing for our soon to be bride", she yelled as all the girls ran around grabbing the 1 string bras and thongs and lace and too many strings all over. They piled it in a bag and filed out the store in a loud roaring stir.

"You'll thank me later", Avery squealed as she carried the bags to the bus as the music blared and the screams of everyone else became louder. We did shots off of each other and soon we even got Caroline drunk. We were all wasted, flushed, scoozy, girls with a very low tolerance to alcohol.

"Next stop let's get some toys to spice up the bedroom", Avery shouted as the girls piled out taking about the strangest things as I just clogged my ears. I walked into the store as I saw all things that made me want to leave and as Avery stepped out of the store I was begging to leave.

"For you", she held the phone out to me as I thanked god for having this person call me, I grabbed the phone and took a step outside of the shop.

"Having fun?", his voice steadied as I listened and I knew whose voice it was from the fact that he called me from his sisters phone.

"I'm at a like a...", I hesitated saying knowing he would hold this over my head till the day we part.

"It's a sex store, well it's like a place with all the sex stuff they even have flavored condoms here, who has that", I hushed as someone walked past me. And a fit of laughter eroded from the phone.

"And why are you there?", he asked in a stern, and serious voice.

"Well they're buying stuff", I hushed to him as a group of snarky teenagers walked past me, luckily not into the store.

"For who?", he asked and I thought it was simple enough and I didn't have to say it again as the girls stared me down.

"You know, us", I whispered slightly as I hunched down against the long white wall.

"Say that again, I couldn't hear you", he taunted me as my head started blowing off my top.

"Us, you and me", I spoke loudly as I caught the girls attention.

"And what are we going to do with them?", he slyly asked and I knew exactly what he was doing.

"In your dreams Mr. Clementé, I'll talk to you later, I love you", I hung up the phone as Avery grabbed her phone back and luckily I didn't have to go back in that store. The girls piled out of the store holding large bags.

"It's okay sweetie they're not all for you, we all went crazy on the flavored condoms", She patted my shoulder as I did become worried by the size of the bags, you could nearly fit a whole human in that bag.

"Let's load up and get out of here", Avery drunkenly yelled, I was so glad she wasn't driving the bus. We'd be on the side of the road if she had.

"One last stop", Avery screamed as I began taking the bottle of tequila and shoving the liquid down my throat wanting to feel that lost high. I slipped the heels off and threw them to the side as I let loose and listened to the music and the rhythm.

A bed, a comfy bed, a blanket, a comfy one, the smell of throw up and champagne filled the air, as I lifted my head and saw a blonde head and as I moved the hair, I saw Caroline sound asleep next to me.

I closed my eyes trying to remember everything that happened that night, but my mind was a complete blank and as I searched through my phone my stomach felt floozy and as I ran to the bathroom, I realized I had no clue where I was or where the bathroom was.

I checked through each room as I gave up and ran outside, knowing this hangover wasn't going to be pretty. Luckily nothing came out as I sat beside a tree branch, and I checked my phone. I called Nolan, I called Nolan at 3 in the morning yesterday and he answered. I wonder what we talked about.

"Good Morning", Avery handed me a coffee mug as she drank her own feeling the bitterness on her tongue. I took a sip of the coffee and felt the strong flavor of just coffee.

"Oh I don't have sugar, sorry", she said as she still drank the coffee as if it was normal.

"What happened yesterday?", I asked her the burning question on my mind, as she set her coffee mug on the table and bunched her legs up.

"Well, I remember strippers, you crying, Caroline crying, pizza and that's about it", who knew they would spend their bachelorette party crying.

"Why was I crying?", I asked her the question that came to my mind as she seemed hesitant to answer.

"I really don't want to say it, but since you're worried you were saying how many people Nolan has slept with and how you can't satisfy him, because those girls are more talented, oh oh I remember the good bit, you begged the stripper to teach you some tips and so you learned a lot", she said trying to make me feel better, but I sat there feeling so embarrassed for the strippers and the people whom surrounded me.

"Is Caroline okay?", I asked as I looked back at the cabins open window seeing her fast asleep.

"She will be, she's just stressed, I think her parents are coming to the wedding", her parents were as sweet as an apple, I had met them when they stayed with Caroline over the past year. They had brought me donuts and even had tagged along to a couple of the lunches Caroline and I went on. While I still worked there, they were nothing but sweet to me and I knew I didn't have many people coming on my side, but I didn't have to love them to invite them, they were sweet enough.

"They don't know about Alec, at all", I told Avery as she seemed frightened, Alec was well known by practically the world, if her parents had been tuning into the gossip channels he would gradually be there, they may even know as Caroline was now the center of attention.

"I'm going to be late for work", A loud yell came from the room as Caroline frantically pulled apart the room searching for her phone.

"I spoke to Nolan last night as he called for the seventh time after convincing him not to drive down here, to let you have the day off, he said fine but I did promise that you would call him today", she pointed at me as I could tell I had caused partially this whole mess.

"I'll call him but why did he want to come down here?", I could tell the bad part was coming up as she smiled sneakily.

"Well, last night we all got pretty drunk and about the time you were worried about your sexual issues, you called him at his bachelor party crying and weeping and it was a mess", she explained as I completely felt embarrassed yet again. She tossed my phone back from the drawer, and I searched through my call logs seeing 26 missed calls from Nolan and I knew we were going to have a long conversation. I looked back at Caroline and I could tell she was so upset and so I tossed my phone and hugged her softly.

"What's wrong hunny?", I comforted her as she sobbed on my shoulder. Her tears fell onto my shirt.

"I didn't tell my parents about Alec, I didn't even tell my parents my ex left me, they don't know anything and they're so judgmental he's asking me when to meet my parents, I've met his already and they are amazing, but I know what he's going to think of them and what they are going to think of him and I've been avoiding him because of it", she let out as she silently sobbed into my shoulder as I rubbed her back soothingly.

"What should I do?", she cried into my shoulder as Avery came and sat down as she leaned on her.

"I can't tell you what to do, but I can tell you that lying or not telling anyone doesn't make it better, and it's better late than never I can always make up some excuse to why they can't come, whatever it is were here", I comforted her as she thanked me.

"I knew of Alec before I met him and my family and I would just always joke around about the people who lived the good life and they've seen him, I know they have and they've taught me to work for everything I have and now he has all the money and I just work as an assistant", the worry in her eye was very real as she knew exactly what her parents were to think.

"You're an adult and if they trust you, they will let you make your own decisions and if you really like him then your parents will see that, just tell them before it's too late or before they find out from someone else", I advised her, it amazed me how much her parents still had a grasp over her even though they were half a country away, she still worried about what they thought, which was sweet and I could tell they were very close.

"I want to tell them, I have no clue how", she complained and I knew Alex would want to impress her parents but they wanted a man with real positive intentions with their daughter rather than wealth and fame.

"Why don't you discuss it with him, I think he may be nervous of why you've been avoiding his calls but if you explain why, then you're expectations will both be equal when the time comes, come on we can deal with our worried people together", she hugged my side as I tossed her the phone, I stepped out of the room and to the outdoors as I searched through my phone and found his name and I tapped it.

"Hello", I spoke shyly as I dug my hand into my waving pocket on the coat I put on.

"Well well, the girl on my mind, how are you this morning?", he answered me princely as I wished he wouldn't get to the hard topics.

"I'm hungover and sleepy", I yawned as I put the phone back to my ear.

"Hungover? I'm guessing last night was fun", he asked as I wish I could detail what had happened last night.

"More like a blur listen I'm sorry about last ni-", I began apologizing hoping for him to even forget about it. He quickly interrupted me.

"I want us to talk about it at least, you called me crying 7 times last night I think that's a reason to talk about things, the difference between those girls is you're all mine and I love you, I've never loved anyone and that's what's going to be so special the connection we share will be like no others and that's the difference, you are so much more beautiful than any women I've ever been with and we can hash it out anytime you'd like", the sincerity in his voice made me smile throughout my body and his words charmed me even more as I felt that joy flutter through my heart yet again.

"Thank you, really I don't know I just felt that I could never escape that feeling of another girl doing that same thing to you and I guess I'm jealous", I hinted softly as I could tell he was grinning over the phone.

"Well why don't you go shag the pool boy and then we're even?".

"Really, I think that would make me feel better, thank you", I played along as he immediately started staying no as I just laughed along listening to his beg.

"How was your night, what did you guys do".

"Well I had my bachelor party, we just uh drank beer, went out clubbing and uh ate pizza, nothing big", he said very fast as I trusted him completely as he did me.

I looked back at the room as I saw Caroline squealing on the bed as she talked over the phone. We talked over the phone as I trickled back into the house and saw Caroline as happy as can be. I told Nolan I would call him back later as I wanted to here the details.

"He was okay with it, he was perfect with it, we're flying down there this week on a regular airplane and taking a cab, and staying in my beaten down place I call home", she said proudly as I knew Alec would have no problem adapting to a lifestyle that wasn't his.

"I was planning on grabbing lunch with Alec, want to come?", she asked as I thanked her and told her I couldn't come. I changed quickly as everyone had left the cabin and I was left behind. I drove to the one place I could go to find answers and as I scanned my ID, I knew he would know.

"I'm here to see Daniel Lawerence", I said clearly to the employee as they let me through and took me to an open room, as I sat on the chair closest to the door. I clicked the record button on my phone as he arrived with the smug look on his face.

"Natalie, I knew you wouldn't leave me in the dirt waiting your stupid boyfriend locked me up on some silly charges", he complained as my temper only grew worse and the site of my angry face alarmed him.

"He's my husband and I came to tell you that I'm pressing charges you're going to jail for a very long time", I swore at him as he huffed and puffed under his breath.

"You can't do anything, you don't know where she is", he taunted me willingly as I frowned at his knowledge of the world.

"And you know where she is, I have a deal for you, you let her go and give her to me as her legal guardian and I will drop charges and you can start over in another country far far away from us, understood" , I spoke hushed but soundly, as he listened in on my deal that physically would let him free of a criminal past.

"It does sound intriguing", he smirked as I hoped he wasn't lying and playing the same manipulative games he always did.

"Ma'am a man named Nolan Clementé wishes to speak with you", my ears heightened as I heard his name. They dragged Daniel out of the cell as I left the heavily watched room and picked up the phone on the phone booth not knowing what to expect.
