A/N: Wow. So I have a lot of reviews on that past chapter! I'm amazed. Because of that great amount of reviews, you get a new chapter, sooner than I thought I would post it.

-Chapter 14-

"Mom where's my veil?" Christine asked. That was about the third time she asked her that. Christine was running around the church franticly. The afternoon sun was bright and reflected through the glass windows. It was the perfect day.

"MOM!"

An older vision of Christine came rushed in with the long, white, lacy veil, "I'm coming, Christine.

Calm down."

Christine patted at her perfectly curled brown locks nervously and stared at herself in the mirror, "How can I calm down? I'm getting married in ten minutes."

"Well at least you have one less thing to worry about, "Julie pointed out.

"Yeah and what's that?" Christine asked warily.

"Zoey's gone," Julie said flatly.

"Who's Zoey?" the petite blonde bridesmaid, Vivian asked.

"Some girl that was trying to steal Chase from Christine," Julie replied.

"She was Chase's old best friend from California. She was a complete loser. She had a messed up marriage, was jobless and three months pregnant," Christine said knowingly.

"What a loser. How do you know all this?" Vivian asked with a laugh.

"I read her journal," Christine said casually.

"Nice."

"Yeah, I know. I had to do something to figure her out. She was messing everything up. Plus she almost ruined the wedding. Last night we were close to breaking up all because of her," Christine said as she put her veil on.

"Why'd she leave?" Vivian ran her fingers through her light blonde waves.

"Who cares? I'm just glad that she's gone," Christine said. After looking at herself in the mirror one last time she decided she was ready. "Are you guys all ready?"

"Yeah. Hey where's that one girl Nicole?" Julie looked around the room.

"Right here," Nicole was standing in the doorway, her arms crossed and a frown on her face.

Christine's mouth dropped to the ground, "Did you hear that?"

"What do you think?"

"So, this is it," Michael said to his friend as they were getting ready.

"Yep," Chase replied, "This is it, alright."

"Are you nervous?" Michael asked.

"Of course," Chase said staring into space, "Do you think Zoey is alright?"

"Dude! You're marrying Christine in ten minutes and you're worried about Zoey?" Michael couldn't believe his friend but in the back of his mind, he knew all along who would always be in Chase's heart.

"Yeah, I'm worried about her. She's been going through a lot lately. Her dad's in the hospital, "Chase replied.

"Well, get over it. It's your wedding day. You should be thinking wedding thoughts. Like...how much you love Christine and what you're going to say for vows. Stuff like that," Michael pointed out.

"You're right I should be," Chase said quietly. The two friends sat in silence for a minute. "I should be thinking about how much I love Christine and how happy we're going to be in life forever."

"That's right," Michael said.

"Yeah but I can't," Chase said slowly.

Michael looked at his friend," Why not?"

"Because...I don't love Christine," Chase said. His own realization smacked him in the face. No matter how much he tried to get around the feeling, it was there, "This is a mistake. I can't go through with this." Chase threw down his bowtie and walked out of the room.

Zoey felt like her heart had been ripped out of her chest, thrown carelessly in the dirt, and stomped on a thousand times. After Dustin picked her up at the airport they went straight to the hospital and sat in the waiting for hours. Her mom stayed with her father in his room the whole time but Zoey couldn't make herself go in. Her father wasn't even conscious at the moment and according to Dustin there was one of those awful heart beat measurement tool that would obnoxiously go, BEEP... BEEP... BEEP like in all the movies where someone is close to death.

When it was six in the morning Mrs. Brooks made Zoey and Dustin go home. Even though she wanted to stay there and be close to her father she obeyed, went back into her old bedroom and immediately fell asleep.

She awoke at noon receiving the good news that her father was awake but still had quite a lot more time in the hospital because of a surgery he needed. That was an amazing weight off her chest. She and Dustin had a late breakfast together. Zoey looked at the clock it was 2 p.m. At this time Christine was probably walking down the aisle in her gorgeous white gown. Chase was probably looking at Christine in the same way that he once looked at Zoey. They'd meet at the alter, take each other's hand and make their vows to each other. Zoey! She scolded herself. Quit torturing yourself. If you and Chase were meant to be than he wouldn't be getting married right now. This is just a sign that there's someone better out there for you.

"So you were the one that took Zoey's journal?" Nicole asked her arms crossed.

Christine nodded, "Uh-huh."

"Why would you do something so awful?" Nicole asked.

"Because I needed to find out who she was, "Christine replied.

"Well you can't just go around reading people's personal thoughts! You really hurt Zoey!" Nicole exclaimed.

"Does it look like I care?" Christine asked, "She's gone now, so get over it. Come on I think it's time to start the ceremony."

"Are you kidding me? I'm not going to just let a mean person like you marry my friend! I'm going to go tell Chase!" Nicole started to turn and walk out the door when she saw Chase in the doorway. He walked in the room, a mixture of anger and confusion on his face.

"Christine, can I get a moment alone with you, please?"
