Chapter 4
The day of the wedding finally arrived. While mom, and Dan were in the kitchen sharing a cup of coffee, I was in my room, stressing. I was running around in my room going "Oh shit! Fuck! No! Where are my shoes! Ahh! Did mom use my hair gel? Where is it? Where's my pressed powder!? It's not in the bag! SHIT!!" I couldn't seem to find anything, and I needed to look perfect for this! I looked at the clock, it read 5:00 am. Good, at least we still had two hours before we needed to leave. I took a deep breath, and went into my mom's bathroom. I found my hair gel. Well, that's one down. I went back in my room, and Searched around in my closet, and quickly found my 3 inch white high heels. Two down. I looked in my make-up bag, and my pressed powder wasn't there.
I decided that instead of searching around my house, I should just go down to the drug store, and get another one. I ran down the stairs, and asked mom for the keys. "Where are you going?" "I need to go to the store for make-up!" I said quickly. "Oh, ok...You might want to change out of your pj's first, though." My mom said with a smile. I looked down, and swore to myself. I ran back up-stairs and pulled on some old, very tight low rider jeans, and a spaghetti strap top. I went back down stairs got the keys from mom, and made my way to the store.
"Thank god for 24 hour Walgreen's's!" I said as I parked the car, and got out. I walked through the door, and headed straight for the make-up area. I picked up some Lancome powder and went to the check-out counter to buy it. But as I approached the check-out girl, she didn't look at me. She was staring out of the shop window. "Uh.... Excuse me." I said "Can I buy this?" The girl seemed to snap out of a trance and said "Huh? Oh sorry, Ms." She took the compact from me and scanned it. I had to know, so I asked "What were you looking at?" The girl smiled at me in a mischievous way. "Oh, a boy just came through my line who was soooo hot!" She laughed "I was watching him leave." she said. I laughed. All my muggle friends were like that too. "What did he look like?" I asked. "Oh! He had blond hair, and was really tall, with these great deep eyes!" she replied. "Ooh...." I said feeling something drop in my stomach. The description reminded me of Draco, and I didn't like it. I had totally forgotten that he might be at the wedding! I was worrying too much about singing!
By the time I got home her mom, and Dan were rushing about getting ready. It was already 5:55. Dan rushed down the stairs in his tux, with his tie, undone around his neck. "Are we eating breakfast?" I asked as he searched through a drawer in the kitchen for something. "Wha...? Oh, no. They're going to be serving brunch, lunch, and dinner. It's a whole day deal. But then again, yeah, you should get a snack, because we have to go to a church to do the ceremony first. The reception, and food doesn't come 'till later, at the hotel." And with that he ran back up the stairs. Sighing I walked up to my room. I went to my closet, and put on my dress. I smiled excitedly looking at my refection in my mirror. Tearing my eyes away from the mirror, I walked to the bathroom, and laid out all my beauty supplies. By 6:40 I was completely ready. Dress, Made up, Hair done, and purse packed. I walked around my room, and did a quick warm up. First some scales, then some stomach exercises. Singing the song once through, I decided that was enough, and made my way to the stairs. When I arrived in the living room, I saw my mother fixing her bright red lipstick in the mirror, and Dan tying his tie. Dan looked up at me a smiled. "You look dazzling my dear."he said. "Thanks" I muttered. We left the house at five minutes to seven. According to Dan, we had a two hour drive to the church. I got out my portable CD player, and put in Eminem. My relaxation music. After that CD was finished, I looked out the window, and watched the hills roll by. I was enjoying myself until we passed an accident on the side of the highway, and Dan went into another one of his, "Oh, that reminds me of this case I had when. . ." I tried very hard not to cry. I really missed my dad, and gloom was overtaking me.
At seven o'clock exactly we arrived at the church. I was desperately trying to think of anything but my dad, or singing. The church was bustling with excitement, and people were all crowding inside to get seats. Dan hurried me to a Mic. to the side of all the seats. Everyone was sitting quietly, waiting. I let my eyes wander across the people sitting on the benches. The adults were either overcome with joy, or looking around the beautiful church smiling. The kids however were looking around bored, and moody. Suddenly my eyes fell on another pair of eyes. Another pair of eyes, that were only too familiar. Draco Malfoy was staring me straight in the face. I looked away, but still watched him out of the corner of eye. He tapped the man sitting next to him, and even through my half vision, I could recognize the man as Lucius Malfoy. Draco whispered something into the ear of his father, and Lucius whirled around to look at me. He smiled. He and Draco whispered back and forth for a while. After a while Lucius turned, and started kissing his wife. I looked up from this unpleasant scene to the alter where the Groom now stood, surrounded by his best men. I watched blankly as the flower girl went by, and all that other stuff that I could really care less about at the moment. The Doors of the Church opened again, and the music to my song began to play. I felt my stomach tighten to a very uncomfortable knot. I found a friendly patch of wall to stare at, while singing, and opened my mouth. The words spilled out, smoothly, and I let emotion fill them.
If tomorrow never comes
I would want just one thing
I would tell it to the stars and the sun
I would write it for the world to see
And it's you
The light changes when you're in the room
Oh, it's you
Oh, it's you
If tomorrow never comes
I would want just one wish
To kiss your quiet mouth
And trace your steps
with my finger tips
And it's you
The light changes when you're in the room
Oh, it's you
Oh, it's you
Oh it's you. . .
