Chapter 1

Cassandra's POV

Pleasantview, South Carolina

I sat fidgeting on the bench in front of the vanity as Mary-Sue played with my hair.

"Hold still honey I know you're nervous but I don't want to burn you with the curling iron"

I quickly stopped and looked up into Mary-Sue's deep brown eyes.

"I'm sorry it's just a lot of things are running through my mind. Just worried on my wedding day weren't you on yours?"

Mary looked at me threw the mirror with her eyebrow raised.

"No" she replied "I was positive Daniel loved me so there was nothing to worry about"

She paused for a second and put the curling iron down.

"The only reason I can think that you're nervous is because you think Don doesn't love you. You do think he loves you right?"

Without thinking I replied yes even though I didn't think he did at all. He loves my money if anything and yet I was too blind to see it at that until that moment and it was too late to turn back now. All of Pleasantview was sitting in my backyard waiting to see me walk down the aisle and I can't let them down unless I would like to be talked about from here on until I die. So I swallowed hard and continued to let Mary do my hair.

"Finished" she said smiling. "Your mother would've been so proud right now" Mary said as she unplugged the iron from the wall.

I looked in the mirror and examined Mary's work. My long black hair was now put up into a bun with a single curl put in front of my face my eyelashes were longer than usual and my skin was flawless. I glanced over at the picture of my mother on the vanity. The scary thing was I looked just like her yet we couldn't have been so different. A soft knock was heard at the door

"Are you girls decent? The wedding is starting soon" Came the voice of my father threw the door.

"Yes! She's ready and I'm coming down now" Mary shouted back.

Mary and I got up and opened the door. My father stood there smiling at me and looked as though a tear might fall.

"If I didn't know any better I'd say you were Bella herself"

He turned to Mary

"You did a great job"

Mary blushed

"I know" she said jokingly

She gave me a hug and whispered good luck and turned and rushed down the stairs to join the others waiting for the ceremony to begin. I looked at my father and smiled. I then turned with him and started down the stairs. I reached the foyer and we were both meet by Alex. He had sweat pouring down his face and was clearly distraught.

"Ummm" he began "Ummm…I don't think you want to go out there" he said

"I beg your pardon? I have to the ceremony if beginning Alex" I said blankly

"Well yes I know that it's just that..umm….I'm not sure how to say this but ummmm….."

"Just spit it out" I said forcefully

"I'm afraid to tell you…umm…..ummm…"

I brushed past Alex and entered the dining room and glanced out the window. I was met by the sight of no one standing at the altar. Just people sitting in chairs waiting yet no one at the altar waiting for me.

"He's just late" I said putting on a fake smile.

"Well he was here and he told me to give you this" Alex handed me a small envelope with 'Cassie' scribbled on it.

I began shaking. Was this really happening? Seriously? On the happiest fucking day of my life was it happening? I opened the letter and read the sloppy handwriting that was Dons.

Babe,

You know I love you but we took this way too fast and I can't do this. I have to go away for a while. I love you.

-Don

"Are you kidding me" I said laughing

"That's it? He leaves me with a letter? Honestly he can't do this to my face?"

I started to become overwhelmed with emotion and my laughing soon turned into crying. Alex frowned and wrapped his arms around me. My sniffling turned into sobs and soon people from outside came in to see what was wrong. When I looked up from Alex's shoulder I saw most of the people from outside now in the dining room staring at me. I was filled with emotions. Hatred, sadness, betrayal, but most of all embarrassment. I couldn't stand having all eyes on me and it was happening. I began hyper ventilating, the room started spinning and without warning I collapsed to the floor.
