p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;" "Nothing. We're free today," I said. /p

p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""So what do you want to do?" /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Fuck if I know. We haven't had a free day in a while." /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Ain't that the truth!" I said. I turned on the TV and flipped through the channels. Shit. Shit. Who the fuck makes a TV show out of that? Yeah, nothing's on. /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Dude, what the fuck was that?" Jayy asked. /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""What was what?" /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""There was a big bang outside!" I stood up and looked outside. I shook my head and sat back down. /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Dude, it's just the fans," I said. /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Damn, the fans freak me the fuck out sometimes." /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Yeah but you have to love them. I mean, we wouldn't have any of this without them." /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Yeah, that's true." We lapsed into a comfortable silence until a ding went off on both of our phones. /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Hey, Alexx and Jace's wedding is in two days!" I announced. Jayy nodded his head. "I'm so glad for the both of them," I said. Jayy opened his mouth to say something, but a bark interrupted him. /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""What the fuck?" he screamed. I walked over to the door and opened it. Sitting there was Alexx and Jace's puppy, and it excitedly darted into the bus. "Aww, the little fucker is adorable!" Jayy cooed as it jumped on his lap and curled into a ball. It let out an adorable yawn and he cooed again. "See, mother fucking adorable!" /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""I wonder what it's doing here." /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""No fucking clue."/p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Dude, you say fuck way too many times than necessary." /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Does it look like I give a fuck?" /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Of course it doesn't." We heard a slightly familiar noise behind all of the screaming and banging fans, but we shoved it off. It could have been anything. /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Shadow! Shadow, emwhere are you?/em" someone shouted above all of the screaming fans. The pup in Jayy's arms yipped excitedly. /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Whoa, calm down little shit," Jayy told it. The pup, or Shadow, stared Jayy in the eyes and nipped his nose. "What the emfuck/em, man!" Jayy said to the dog./p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Dude, you know it can't understand you, right?" I asked Jayy, slightly worried for his mental health. /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Still, the little shit bit me!" he exclaimed loudly. Shadow stared him in the eye again and licked his cheek. "Fine, you're off the hook. The next time, though, we're sending you home!" A bang resounded throughout the bus once more. The bus door flew open, and in the doorway stood a frantic Alexx. /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Oh my gosh, such a relief that you have Shadow. We had no clue where he'd gone! We opened our apartment door and he bolted out! We've been searching for thirty minutes!" she exclaimed. /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Well, he's fine and safe. You need to clam down. You don't need any stress right now," Jayy said seriously, looking at her. /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""I see that now, dipshit!" she said jokingly, "and don't worry, I'll be fine soon."/p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Pretty soon, it won't be the pup you'll be chasing around the house. Instead, it will be your son or daughter," I stated. /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""I know, and he or she will be the best little fucker I've ever created."/p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""How about you go home and get some rest. We'll keep Shadow for a few days until your wedding, and then you can have him back," Jayy told her./p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Okay. Sounds like a plan. See you guys in a few days." She walked out the door and headed towards Jace, who wrapped his arms around her and led her back to the vehicle. /p

You won't ruin this day unless you let yourself. So, sweetie, I know it's your big day, but lighten the fuck up! Let loose!" Wyatt told me. I took a deep breath and took his words into consideration. He was right. I can't ruin this day unless I allow myself to. I lounged out on the couch, still not dressed in my gorgeous satin dress. Wyatt began chatting with Alycia. We were comfortable and content, until a 'guard' for the wedding spotted Wyatt in here. /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""What are you doing in here? You shall not be allowed with the ladies, you pig! Go back to the men's room this instant!" The man grabbed Wyatt's collar and twisted his hand in the fabric, lightly lifting Wyatt off of the ground. /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""I allowed him to be in here! I'm the bride and I run this shit! So let him the fuck go!" I yelled. /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Miss, I'm not allowed to let any guy in here."/p

p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Fuck it! Wyatt?" /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Yes," he said, a hopeful glint in his eye. I nodded my head./p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Go ahead, fucking punch him, Wyatt." Wyatt pulled his fist back, and in an instant, it made contact with the guard's face. He let go of Wyatt's collar and stumbled back, leaning out of the doorway. "He likes it up the goddamn ass, and I allowed him to be in here. He couldn't get a damn boner from seeing us even if he wanted to. So go the fuck away, you asshole." I slammed the door in his face. I turned back to see Wyatt beet red and going to a darker shade of chartreuse. Alycia was about to fall on her ass, and the rest of the bridesmaids were staring at me like I've grown another head. /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""You're pregnancy hormones must have kicked in," Emelia, one of the bridesmaids, stated./p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""No, that's just her," Wyatt, Alycia, and my other friends in the room stated./p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Yeah," I agreed. "Just me."/p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Hey! You need to get in your dress emnow!/em" Wyatt said, looking at his watch. "The wedding is about to begin!" We hurriedly slipped me into my dress, and I turned to face the mirror. The satin material hugged my every curve, yet did not show the baby bump that was forming. A black ribbon was tied around the waist, and red designs flowed through it. The dress shone from the silky mesh flowing from it, and the white accents shone in the light. It was absolutely gorgeous. My hair stayed neatly on top of my head in an intricate curled bun, though some pieces fell. The fallen pieces framed my face and looked like they were meant to be there. I glowed with happiness in the mirror, and Wyatt and Alicia had a content, almost giddy look shining through their eyes. For once, Wyatt did not have his usual depressed look across his face. /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Are you ready for this?" Alycia and Wyatt asked. "It's going to start in three... two... one." Right when they finished the countdown, the music started playing. It wasn't the traditional music, though. Broken played through the speakers, reminding the ones who were there on how this all started. My grin grew until it was a full-blown smile and I nodded./p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Let's go do this shit!" I announced. /p

p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""... You may now kiss the bride." Jace leaned in slowly, looking into my eyes. Both of our eyes shone with the same look, contentment and happiness. He softly pressed his lips against mine, and the crowd cheered. I looked up to see Rusty, my mom, my sister Jesika, and my close friends and family around./p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"I also saw Jace's side of he family cheering and clapping, his mom saying "I knew it, right when I first saw her. I emknew /emthey would get married! But no, the boy had to go and be arrogant and not believe his mother!"/p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"I let out a laugh and screamed, "Let's get this party started!" Everyone cheered and began heading to the large building where the reception would be held. We did the traditional dances, except my mother stood in my father's place because none of us wanted him here. Once I threw the bouquet (Alycia caught it), we began to do our own thing. The last song of the night, a slow song, began, and Wyatt held his hand out to me. I looked to the side and saw Jace dancing with my oldest niece, Hayley. I stood up and placed my hand in his. He took me to the dance floor and started to dance smoothly and beautifully./p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Wow, Wyatt, who knew you could dance!" I joked. He laughed and looked in my eyes, smiling. /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""I'm happy for you. You and him both seriously deserve each other," he said seriously. I smiled at him./p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Thank you. I remember thinking that this was just going to always be a middle school dream. Speaking of happy, I've noticed you've been happier lately," I stated./p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Yeah I have been. I'm not completely over Blaze's death, and I know I never will be, but I'm starting to accept that he is gone and isn't going to come back to me. You know, I contemplated suicide twice, but I know I wouldn't be able to do it because I would have left all of you behind. I know Blaze would have waned me to watch over you for him. Even though he didn't show it often, he truly thought of you as a wonderful sister and loved you dearly."/p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""I know, and I'm glad you didn't attempt suicide. It would emotionally kill me if I lost any other one of my friends too early." He smiled at me and wrapped his arms around me./p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Don't worry, I don't think any of us are going anywhere anytime soon." The song ended, and I looked around. In the corner I spotted Alycia taking her arms from around Talon, but Talon tightened his and pulled her closer to him, kissing her gently on the mouth. They pulled apart, and Alycia was blushing. Talon had a smile as if he had just won the lottery. /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""It seems as if all of us will have a happy ending," I said to Wyatt as I grabbed Jace's hand and looked once more at Alycia and Talon, who were talking while holding each other in a sweet embrace. /p
