CHAPTER TWO

"You don't think she might have changed her mind?" Anne suggested as Nora, Grace and Ashley stood nearby.

"Knowing Amy, I don't think so." Grace added.

"Not after all the fuss over this wedding." Nora added.

"But maybe she's finally thinking." Anne added

"Or are you just wishing she wouldn't go through with it?" A voice said from behind them, immediately everyone looked back to find George, in his fancy tux.

"Grace, Ashley, why don't you and I go check on the whereabouts of the bride. Maybe the groomsmen have an idea." Nora added as she forcibly pushed the two girls out the door.

"George you can't change my mind on this." Anne said ready for a fight.

"And you can't change Amy's mind on this nor Ricky's.' he said coming in and sitting down. "Anne, I'm not saying she's grown, I'm saying she has to go through life. We've taught her and Ashley, everything we could, the good and the bad."

"So WHY?" Anne replied holding back tears. "Why can't I as a parent tell her, watch out don't do it…the outcome could be…" quickly George grabbed Anne into a bear hug.

"Because, contrary to popular belief, around a certain age they do this funny thing."

"What?" Anne added.

"They develop their own opinions, they get heart broken, they think its love, and lately they have children even if you warned them multiple times. So all you can do, really, is live your life, love them, and let them live theirs. "As silence set in, Anne pulled back to breath and let out a chuckle.

"Wow, you actually said something-"

"What? Smart, intelligent."

"Fatherly." Anne replied. "When did you start to figure these girls out?"

"Oh, I have yet to figure them out, I just know that I've spent many days not doing what I needed for them, so I've decided to try and at least be there when I can."

"Well maybe I should be trying to do the same."

"Oh, I think you've got a better lead on it than me." George replied giving Anne a hug again.

"Grace?" Adrian called out at the door. Grace left the group of bridesmaids and walked over.

"Is there any way you can take me to meet Ben?"

"No. I thought the plan was to leave Ben alone."

"It is…or at least it was, Grace, I want my husband."

"What? Come on Adrian, you have a college full of potential guys and suddenly you want Ben back."

"Yes and not suddenly, its' been ongoing."

"Because Amy and Ricky?"

"No, I could care less about them, I mean, I love Ricky and lately I think Amy has turned into a great friend but it's not about them, it's about Mercy, it's about not losing my husband. I mean I was a jerk, I was messed up and my thoughts and actions were wrong, but I love him and since, you're not going to get him, here, take him this, and let him decide." Adrian took out a letter envelope and gave it to Grace.

"Ok, Adrian, I'll do it but only if you do me a favor."

"What?"

"Amy is missing?"

"WHAT?" quickly Grace pulled Adrian away covering her mouth.

"Amy is not here and nobody's seen her."

"Does Ricky know?"

"No, he doesn't.

"

"Something's not right?" Ricky said coming out the bathroom as Ben looked at him confused.

"What do you mean? Ricky, I thought we just got over this."

"Not that, I just feel like something is wrong."

"Or it could possibly be the nerves." Ben said as Ricky grabbed his coat and took out his keys. "Ricky, where are you going?" Ben asked trying to calm him down.

"Something's not right." Ricky said.

"What do you mean? You're getting married in thirty minutes."

"Look, I need to check something, Ben, stall for me, I have to go." Ricky replied exiting the back entrance of the church.

"Ben…where's Ricky?" Jack said coming back into the room.

"In the bathroom?…"Ben replied with a puzzled look.
