It's a day before the wedding and we're all loaded with responsibilities, I've got to pick up the cake, dress from the dry cleaners plus the wedding rings, and call the church to confirm the last details on tomorrow, that's a lot of pressure, but not as much as Spencer, who is in charge of decorations, for the church and the reception party, she has to call the caterers to decide the menu and what time they need to be there. Haley is flipping out, she's writing her wedding vows, again, for the fifth time. She really wants it to be perfect, and she's taking us down with her.

Me and Spencer are having breakfast together before we get started.

"God, if all weddings take this much work count me out!" I say digging in.

"I think it's easier if you elope because you don't have to plan a party and everything, it's just a small ceremony and then a honeymoon. I'm totally asking Ota to elope!"

"Yeah, that sounds like you!"

"But, I won't get very many wedding gifts if I do elope, so..."

"It's a win lose situation"

Eisuke walks in and I leave to pick up the rings without finishing breakfast. Luke drives me into town. I go on into the shop and check the rings, to make sure they're the right ones. They are absolutely breathtaking, gotta say Soryu has a much better ring picked out for Haley though and probably more expensive, but then again Haley isn't one to spend much so...yeah. Aww, they're so cute together. I take the rings and take a bus to the stop near the dry cleaners. I get off the bus and enter the shop, I quickly collect both dresses and my stomach grumbles, I didn't even finish breakfast. I check my phone, it's 2:30, what time does the cake shop close, 3:00 or 4:00, I shouldn't take the chance lunch can wait.


I walk to the cake shop, it's filled with a sweet aroma. The cakes here are so beautiful I could just stare at them all day long. I wait at the front desk and a cheerful young lady appears. "Oh hello, you must be here to pick the wedding cakes."

"How can you tell?" I ask her puzzled.

"You have two wedding dresses and I'm assuming that box has the rings." She says cheerfully.

"Yeah, you're right I guess it's pretty obvious."

"Congratulations, by the way." She says, dropping a large book on the desk. She flicks through the pages.

"No, I'm not getting married, these are for my sister, I'm just the bridesmaid who is being made to work, a lot!" I say putting the dresses down.

"Oh that's a shame, but I bet it won't be long until you find someone too. Say congratulations to your sister for me! Aha, here we are!" She says and she checks the order. She goes to the back while I pull out my phone to call Spencer to pick me up.

"Hello! What do you need?" Says Spencer quickly.

"I need a ride, I'm done so could you come-"

"No those don't go there! I asked for a pale sky blue flower basket, the pink go over there!" She shouts, to someone. "Yeah, sorry what!"

"Pick me up!"

"Umm, I'm kind of busy, I'll call Eisuke,"

"N-No! I mean can't you send someone else, why bother him?" I say.

"But he's already in town cuz I sent him to pick up so decorations, so it will quicker." She says before hanging up.

"Huh.. great!" I say throwing my hands in the air. The shop owner returns with a massive cake in her hands, she gently sets it down this time, on top of a gigantic net for a box.

"Here we are!" She says. I look up at the cake and can I say wow!

"That is amazing, you have some real talent!" I say.

"Thanks, I'll get it packed." She neatly folds the net and slots the pieces into each other taping them secure afterwards. Then she closes the lid and I pay her with the money Soryu gave me. "Thank you! Hope I see you again sometime!"

"Same here, Thanks for the wonderful cake!" I say, I grab the dresses and slip the box of rings into my pocket, then I button up my pocket just in case. I wrap my arms underneath and round the side of the box to stable it. But luckily Eisuke walks in and takes the cake from me lightening my load. "Thanks," I say slightly blushing, refusing to meet his eyes.

"Hmph," he nods and we make are way to the car.


I put the dresses in the boot but the cake doesn't have any room, so we strap it into the back seat so it won't fall. I sit in the front next to him and he starts the engine. We're completely silent for half the way, until I can't handle it anymore.

"Okay, we need to talk, because clearly this isn't working!" I say breaking the silence.

"What's there to talk about?"

"Us, and... yesterday, on the.." I drift off not sure what else to say.

"So, continue," he says calmly, am I the only one who's affected.

"I don't know about you, but I don't do that everyday! You probably play around with a bunch of women so it's nothing, but I don't know how I feel right now! I'm so confused, it's frustrating, Ugh!" I yell, clawing my hands through my hair.

"You're not the only one who's confused, I may play around with women but not like that!" He yells back at me.

"Well why are you so calm?" I shout.

"Because there's no point getting so worked up over it!" He pulls over to the side, and continues "Look... this affects me just as much as it does you and this not the time nor the place to be discussing this so, can it wait till after the wedding."

"Yeah! Fine by me!"

"Thank you!" He says starting the engine once more. He drops me back to the villa and I put the cake in the fridge and leave the dresses and rings in Haley and Soryu's bedroom. Then I call up the church to discuss and finalise the remaining details of the cermony with priest. I've been start feeling dizzy, lightheaded for a while now so I decide to go down to have some water and I'm in the kitchen, when I see a dark hooded figure. I call out to it and suddenly it raises it's hand revealing a large metal pole. I back away slowly and he comes nearer, making me scream for help and he hits me with the bar...


Eisuke's PoV...

I return home after dropping off the remaining decorations and hear Haley screaming for help from what sounds like the kitchen. I rush to see what's going on and she's lying on the floor with Cami in her lap. A pool of blood surrounds them, from a cut on Cami's forehead.

"Oh my god, Eisuke! Please help me, when I came back she was just lying here bleeding." She sobs.

"Yeah, of course, we need to get her to the hospital!" I say. I bend down and scoop her up in my arms. Haley opens the car door and I quickly start the engine. We reach the hospital 10 minute later and me and Haley wait in the hallway while the doctor examines her. The doctor comes out soon later...

"She's fine just lost a lot of blood, and may have a concussion. It seems she was hit with some kind of hard material."

"We don't know what happened, she was lying on the ground when I found her!" Says Haley.

"Could it have been the impact of falling on the tiled floor." I ask.

"No, this seems a little stronger, although the cut could be from the floor, but something definitely hit her before she fell."

"Thank you, is that all?" I ask.

"Almost, these are some prescribed medicines, and you may visit the patient when the nurses have finished patching her up."

"Thank you." Says Haley and the doctor leaves.

I go and get the medicines while we're waiting and receive a call from Soryu...
