Ally (POV)
It was 1am mom was sleeping and I was sitting at the edge of the bed, couldn't sleep.
Mike: penny. I talked to Austin; he is ready to marry ally
'' stop seeing big dreams ally, you will fall''
''it's better if you say ''no'' and find a man your own standard and marry. No one can see such an ordinary girl. You think he's gonna be friends with you, marry you!?call you, his wife!? ''
Mom your whole life, never asked uncle mike for help. Lived with dignity. But this humiliation for me, why? Why am I going without asked, unwanted to Austin's life. No mom I don't like this. But then what will I do?... Austin. Yes, I should talk to Austin. That would be better.
I left the room; I was looking around the halls to find Austin's room. Until I heard his, it was coming from the door. I was gonna knock until
''man, I wanted to say no but the way dad requested was like I couldn't even say the word no. I wanted to get married to a woman who I can share all my thoughts and ideas. Who can walk with me step by step, but my cousin is so backward. I don't even know what's her nature man. Anyway. Aunt penny is so sick that dad is tense but Dez I'm having trouble thinking that if I marry this girl then. This marriage won't be marriage. It will be my punishment.''
I went back to my room, saw my mom awake and gave her a glass of water
Penny: what are you thinking?
Ally: ...mom don't you think that you made my marriage decision fast? Mom, we don't have a match and don't you say that relationships are equal. You did not do a good thing asking uncle mike. I feel so insulted.
Penny: why. Did someone say something
Ally: no one said anything mom. But please don't force me into a person's life. To a person of standard, education, status, everything l am less in. And mom It can also happen that Austin said yes from the pressure of uncle mike.
Penny: no ally. Mike and Mimi both came to me to talk about your marriage. And. And Austin also came today. Austin and Mimi had no objections.
Ally: you are only seeing things the you want to. Not everything is seen the way they are.
Penny: I. want you to be happy with your marriage and the reason of your unhappiness is your ego. I.I am your mother. I think of you better. Just please think of this as my last wish. (Tears fell from my eyes and so did Her's) my last order.
I hugged mom and cried and so did she
No one (POV)
Brooke: that poor thing ally, the I didn't give importance to when we first met. You're making her Austin's wife?! How can you do this to me?
Mimi: Brooke, I really wanted you to become my daughter in law. Things are not in my control. Situation is not simple the way it looks. Austin and ally's marriage is confirmed. It's going to be this Friday. And mike said that if I come in between this marriage, he will get me out of the house
Brooke: and there is no importance in my feeling? You know how much I love Austin; I can't live without him!
Mimi: Brooke, I understand you but there is nothing I can do. I also don't want this to happen. But I'm helpless. Brooke the way I put a stone in my heart and accept this marriage. You should also accept it. Maybe it was just wasn't meant to happen.
Brooke left.
She was driving her car as tears fell from her eyes, she called Austin and he picked up.
'' you're getting married this Friday?'' Said Brooke in a cryingly voice
Austin: Brooke you're crying? where are you?
Brooke: forget where I am, answer my question! Your marrying ally?!
Austin was getting annoyed
Austin: Brooke, dad left me no choic-
Brooke hung up
Later at night
Austin went to Brooke's house saw Brooke lying Austin took her to the hospital.
The next day
Austin(POV)
Brooke: why did you save me?
Austin: because you're my friend. And what were you thinking?
Brooke: I don't need a life where you're not there. You get married with ally, is that why I'm living!?
Austin: please try to understand that I was in a situation where I couldn't say no. Brooke, I accepted it and you too please for me
But Brooke started to cry
Austin: Brooke please... I promise I will try to ask dad. Make him understand. I can't see you like this. Please stop crying.
I got a phone call fall from dad
He said to come home immediately, so I went home
''What happened?''
Mike: penny is extremely sick. The doctors said anything can happen. I think we have to do it now. We can't Waite to Friday. We have to do it right now.
Penny's room
Ally was wearing a simple white dress and I was was wearing a white shirt with black blazer. she signed the marriage contract, now I had to. Dad gave me the pen and I signed... now I'm married.

She was shaking aunt penny to get up as ally cried loudly hugging her
No one (POV)
''I'm worried about ally. I hear her cries every day and night from her door. Day by day she is going through depression'' mike said
Mimi: obviously. This really affected her. It takes time
Mike: Mimi why don't you go to her. Maybe with you she can become normal.
Mimi: I'm trying. She lost a mother and no one can take a mother's place. It'll take time
Mike: you talked to ally?
Mimi: mike do you think I'm that cold? She lost a mother and you think I won't even go to her? Yes, I did talk to her.
Mike: no, no I didn't mean it like that. Actually, I thought you wer-
''Yes I knew my son was being forced and I fought for my son''
Mike: yes, but what I said to you when I was angry... I shouldn't have said that to you, I'm embarrassed.
Mimi: you broke the trust we had. In on second you were ready to leave.
Mike: I'm, I'm sorry.
