Chapter 7: Vows
"GOD DAMN IT." Jak yelled. He screwed up another piece of paper and threw it across the room. Writing wedding vows was much harder than he had expected. He watched the paper bounce off the edge of the bin and fall to the floor. Torn walked into the room, looking at the piles of scrap that littered the floor.
"What are you even doing?" Torn asked.
"Trying to write my vows." Jak replied. "I can't seem to get anywhere with them."
"Well, what have you got so far?" Torn asked, pulling up a chair next to Jak.
"Nothing!" Jak replied. "Help?"
"What's the magic word?" Torn asked.
"Abra kadabra?" Jak suggested.
"That'll have to do..." Torn rolled his eyes. "So, do you have a starting point?"
"If I had a starting point would I be asking for your help?" Jak asked.
"That's a good point." Torn replied. "Have you tried saying that you love her?"
"Well that's obvious, isn't it!"
"Sorry! I'm just trying to help!" Torn said. "Well what do you love about her?"
"Erm..." Jak said. He had never really thought about what he loved about Keira – he just knew that he did.
"This is going to take a lot of work..." Torn groaned.
-------------
"Tess... I don't know what to write for my vows!" Keira whined.
"Why did you both decide to write your own vows?" Tess asked, snatching the piece of paper out of Keira's hands and reading through it. "Why didn't you use the normal ones like everyone else?"
"Because we want it to be special." Keira sighed.
"Well... write about him." Tess suggested. "What you love about him, why you love him... that kind of thing."
"Ok." Keira said. She stared at the piece of paper for a few minutes. "THIS IS RIDICULOUS!" Keira threw her pen down and folded her arms.
"Don't worry hun, we'll get your vows done." Tess smiled and sat down next to her. "I've got a little time before I have to go and set up you Hen Party."
"I wonder if Jak's having any problems writing his." Keira said thoughtfully.
"Probably." Tess said. "After all, he is a guy."
"Because that's not sexist..." Keira rolled her eyes.
-------------
"Torn, this is not helping whatsoever." Jak sighed.
"Really?" Torn asked, opening one eye. "I'm finding this quite relaxing." They were laying in the shade in Haven Forest, near where the wedding had been set up.
"That's because you're not trying to work out your wedding vows!" Jak snapped. "I'm going to look stupid if I can't get anything!"
"Why don't you just make them up on the spot?" Torn asked. "Then they'll be heartfelt."
"I am not going to say the first thing that comes into my head!" Jak replied.
"True. You might ramble on too long and send the congregation to sleep." Torn said.
"You're so helpful." Jak said sarcastically.
"Hey, you were the one that asked me for help." Torn said. "I don't have to be here."
"Then try and help!" Jak exclaimed. "I am getting married in a few days time and I don't even have any vows to say to the woman I love!"
"DID SOMEONE SAY THEY NEEDED HELP WITH THEIR WEDDING VOWS?" Connor yelled, running over to Jak and Torn.
"Oh no..." Jak said, and jumped up. "I'm fine Connor."
"Really?" Connor asked, snatching the piece of paper from Jak. "Because this looks blank to me."
"I haven't written it down yet." Jak snarled, snatching the piece of paper back.
"So, let me hear your ideas." Connor shrugged, sitting down on the grass, cross-legged. Jak and Torn looked at each other uneasily.
"They're still in progress. Maybe when I'm finished." Jak said.
"Fine. Just remember – the rehearsal is tomorrow." Connor grinned.
"We agreed that we weren't going to read our vows during the rehearsal. We're saving them for the actual ceremony." Jak explained.
"Alright then." Connor said. "But if you need any help all you have to do is call me." Connor waved and walked away.
"I really hate that guy." Torn said, watching him leave. "Who even is he?"
"I don't know... I guess... he's just Connor." Jak said. "Come on, let's try and get at least one line."
-------------
"YES!" Keira punched the air in triumph. "I've done it!" she read through the page again. Tess took it from her, and read through it too.
"Don't you think you should cut this down a bit?" Tess asked. "You've written two hole pages!"
"Erm... yeah... maybe." Keira said, and slammed her head down on the desk. "Help?"
"Sure I will." Tess smiled and sat down next to Keira.
Ok guys please review and tell me what you think! My last exam is tomorrow so hopefully I might be able to update more regularly and the chapters will be better and longer.
