my head.

“I can’t. I just can’t. He better off without me.” I stood up and walk away. They was calling my name, but I ignored them. I just walked away. I wanted to be alone. For the rest of the day, I stayed in my room and cried. A few minutes later, Crystal came in to comfort me until I finally fell asleep.

*********************************

 

I was standing in the middle of the road. I look around until I stopped. Beside the bridge, there was a car wreck. The car was turned over. I quickly went to the car.

“Are you…” Before I was able to finish, I gasped. The person in the car… was me. I was leaning against the steering wheel unconscious. “Oh crap.”

“Lea?!” Drake said. I turn to him.

“Drake? What happened?” I asked. Instead of answering me, he ran through me. Literally. I turn back around and I see Drake pull the door off. He pulled me out the car and laid me on the ground

“Lea. Wake up. Keep breathing.” Tears filled my eyes. I backed up until someone grabbed me.

************************************

 

 

I woke up gasping for air. I look around. It was morning. I jumped when the door open. I threw a pillow and Ana caught it.

 

“What I do?” Ana asked

“Sorry. I’m just a little jumpy today.” I said

“You still upset about the Drake thing?”

“Yea.” I lied. What else I’m supposed to say? Tell her I had a dream of my own death. Nope. I can’t.

“Lea, don’t worry. He will talk to you. But, right now, we need to worry about getting Sabrina ready for her wedding.” Ana got me out of bed and we went to Sabrina’s room, where everyone else is. Sabrina was all jittery. As soon as Sabrina seen me, she ran to me and gave me a hug.

“Lea, I am so nervous. I can’t believe I am getting married.” Sabrina said

“Calm down and take deep breaths.” I said

“I am… But I am worried about you. I don’t want my maid of honor to be unhappy.”

“I’m fine.” Sabrina smiled

“Good.” So, all during the morning, we got ready for the wedding, while the crew set up the back in the garden. The guys were getting dressed downstairs. As soon as we got Sabrina ready, I went downstairs to check on things. Guests was coming in and taking their seats. I went to the kitchen to check on the food and cake, then I went to check on the guys.

“Are you guys ready?” I asked. Peter came to me.

“Wow Lea. You look amazing.” Peter said. I look down at myself. I was wearing a sleeveless red dress like the bridesmaids, and my hair was in curls and pulled back in a bun. I look back at Peter.

“Thank you. You look great too.”

“Thanks and yes we are ready.” I look around. Caleb was talking to Christopher. Victor came to me while Peter went to Nicholas.

 

“Hey.” Victor said

“Hi. I’m sorry I yelled at Gabriella. I was going through something.” I said.

“Actually, I want to thank you. Ever since that happened, Gabriella changed a little.”

“What you mean?” Victor smiled.

“She open up more. We actually talked for once, so that’s why I want to thank you.” I smiled

“You welcome.” Victor gave me a hug, then left. I went to Nicholas. “How are you doing?”

“I’m nervous, but I’ll be fine.” Nicholas said

“Good. I don’t want you to chicken out.” Nicholas chuckled.

“I won’t.”

“Good. Now where is Drake?”

“On the balcony talking to Tiffany. I think it is getting serious in there.” Peter said. So I left out and went upstairs. I stood outside the balcony door to listen.

 

“Drake. What you mean it is over?!” Tiffany said

“I’m sorry. I can’t do this anymore. By staying in this relationship is only making me feel worse for staying.” Drake said

“Drake… I- I love you. Please.”

“I can’t. All I’m doing is holding you back.” I look through the opening of the door. Tiffany was crying at first, but it turn to anger.

“Bull crap!! That is not the reason!”

“Tiffany…” Drake was about to take a step toward her, but she slapped him.

“No! It’s her! The human girl.”

“No it’s not.”

“Yes it is! I see the way you look at her. I told Lea to stay away and look what happened! She never listen!”

“Lea is not part of this.”

“Yes she is! The other day, I saw you kiss her. I’m not stupid.”

“Tiffany… it was just a kiss.”

“Shut up Drake! You know it wasn’t just a kiss. It was much more.” Tiffany starts to cry again. “I just want you to love me as much as you love her.” Drake pull her in for a hug as she cried. His eyes met mine as I took a step back. I blushed as I turn around and ran down the stairs. I waited until Tiffany came down. She glared at me, then she left out the house. I turn around and see Drake.

 

“We need to talk.” He said

“I can’t. Not right now.” I said as I fixed his tie.

“Lea…” Before he could finish, Crystal came to me, holding Louis.

“Lea, we ready to start… wait… Was I interrupting something?” Crystal said.

“Yes you are.” Drake said. I turn to Drake.

“Not right now Drake. Please. We can talk about this later.” I said

“Fine. Just fine.” He said as he left.

“I’m sorry.” Crystal said.

“It’s fine.” I said. “Let’s focus on the wedding.” Crystal nodded. So we went to the others and we got started.

 

 

The bridesmaids and grooms men came down the aisle. Then Emily, flower girl, went down the aisle, throwing flower petals. Crystal held Louis with rings on the small pillow. Everyone awed. Then I went down the aisle. I couldn’t help but to blush because everyone was looking. I stood in my place. Everyone start to stand as the music start and they look back. Sabrina was walking out with Mr. Knight by her side. I look at her and she look so beautiful, but she look so nervous. She stopped. She turned around and went back inside. Everyone gasped. Drake and Nicholas was about to follow, but I stopped them.

 

“I’ll handle it. Just stay here.” I whispered.

“I’m coming.” Drake said

“No just stay here.”

“She is my sister. I’m coming.”

“Fine.”

“Just make sure she is alright.” Nicholas said. I nodded. Drake and I went back inside.

“Follow me. I know where she is.” Drake said as I start walking. I stop him.

“How do you know?” I asked 

“She likes to go to the roof to think.”

“How do you know?”

“She told me. Now come on.” So we went upstairs and went to the bathroom where the window is open. I look out the window and see Sabrina sitting. I stuck my head back in.

“Drake, go out there and talk to Sabrina.” I said

“Why me?” he asked

“Because you’re her brother.” Drake looks at me suspiciously.

“I thought you could handle it.”

“Just go! I’m not going on the roof!”

“Fine.” Drake climb out the window. I wait while Drake talk to Sabrina. 10 minutes later, Drake came back, but Sabrina wasn’t with him.

“Is Sabrina coming?”

“No.”

“What you mean no? Drake…”

“What? She won’t listen to me. It’s a girl thing. Maybe she will listen to you.” I start to panic.

“I’m not going out there.”

“Lea, sooner or later, you would have to get over you fear of heights. This is your chance.” I look out the window, then back at Drake.

“It’s too high. What if I fall?” Tears fill my eyes.

“I will make sure that won’t happen.” Drake kiss me on my forehead. “I promise.” After calming down for a while, I took off my heels, and Drake help me outside on the roof. I tried my best to not look down, but it was too late. The ground was far down. I went down to my knees. Sabrina look at me and gasped. She wipe her tears and help me to her.

 

“What are you doing out here?” Sabrina asked. I sat down and took deep breaths.

“I was going to ask you the same thing. Why aren’t you downstairs getting married?” I said. Sabrina looks away.

“I don’t know.”

“Sabrina, I thought you wanted this wedding?”

“I do… well I thought I did.”

“What you mean?”

“I was really excited about getting married…but as soon as I was walking down the aisle…I start to have second thoughts.”

“About what?”

Tears filled Sabrina eyes. “About everything. What if our marriage don’t last? What if we get into arguments and he won’t love me anymore?”

“Don’t say that. Nicholas loves you. You should have seen him earlier today. He was so nervous, but so happy. He love you so much. Don’t let him get away.” I look out into space as I start thinking about Drake. “If you do, then you will never know if you will find a guy like him again. You will regret it for the rest of your life. He always makes sure that you are safe. One side of him is sweet and funny. But the other side of him bring a different side of you that you never knew you had. When he smile, it makes your heart race. It brighten your day every time. Then, when he kisses you, it feels like only you two exist. He makes you feel… special. He’s your soul mate.” Tears ran down my cheek as I look at Drake. He was on the phone. I look back at Sabrina. She was looking at me. “Don’t let him slip away. Please.” Sabrina leaned over and gave me a hug.

“Your right.” She leaned back and smile. “Thank you.”

“You welcome.” She was about to stand up, but she stop herself.  She looks at me.

“When you was describing that guy, I knew who you was talking about. Try taking your advice too.” She stood up and went to the window. Drake helps her in. I smooth my hair behind my ear and stayed there. Drake came out and went to me.

 

“You want me to carry you inside?” he asked

“No. I just realized how calm it can be up here.” I said. Drake sat beside me.

“Yea. Whatever you said to Sabrina really worked. She looks less nervous.”

“I know. I just spoke from the heart.” I look at him. “Drake…” He looks back at me.

“Yes.”

I was about to say something, but I held it back. “Nothing. I just wish things could be different. Less…complicated. I wish I could stop hurting you like this.”

“Lea…”

“It’s true. Ever since I got here, I have been making your life a living hell.” Tears ran down my cheek.

“Don’t cry.”

“I can’t help it. I don’t want to hurt you anymore.” I took deep breaths as I try to calm myself. “I’m so sorry... That’s why I’m leaving today. After the wedding reception, I’m going home.”

“What? Why?”

“I think its better that way.”

“Better for me or better for you.”

“Drake don’t make this harder than it already is.”

“Lea, you can’t do this.” I look away from him.

“I already book my flight.” Before Drake got to say anything, I was already up. I carefully walk to the window and went back inside. By the time I was finished fixing my makeup, Drake was inside. We went back to the wedding.

 

This time, Sabrina went down the aisle all the way. The ceremony was different, but beautiful. The only difference was that after they exchange vowels and rings, they also exchange blood. I had to keep myself from passing out.

“I now pronounce you husband and wife. You’ll are now bond. You may kiss your bride.” Everyone cheered as they kiss. Tears filled my eyes as I watched. As soon as everyone said congrats to Nicholas and Sabrina we all went inside. I sat down next to Sabrina. Crystal made sure that Drake sat next to me. I stare at her suspiciously.

“What?” she said. I just shrugged my shoulders and try not to think about Drake. After we ate, everyone danced. On the flower toss, I got it. Everyone look between me and Drake. I blushed and handed it to Ana. She looks up at Lucas and smile. I was so happy he missed the wedding so
