Never Meant To Hurt You

Chapter 14 - Wedding Jitters
Marron sighed as she paced around the room. She had been up all night well almost all night if you count the few early hours of the morning, cataloguing and stacking up the Pros and Cons of both guys. Today was her wedding day and she looked terrible, she had bags under her eyes and the headache from the unexpected hen's party the night before didn't exactly help at all.

Sitting down on the couch and raising her hands she began to rub her temples. When a shrill sound kept ringing in her ear. Picking her head up to look for the device she spotted the phone on the nightstand ringing away. Marron grumbled and picked it up mumbling an unclear 'hi'.

"Morning Mazzy, If you haven't noticed yet Its 9.30am and you're wedding is in six hours, So I suggest you get up and get ready". Marron closed her eyes she needed to get some rest only to be woken up again by a loud piercing scream.

"MARRON wake up !" Shouted Bra on the other line. "I knew we shouldn't have given you so many drinks".

"Yeah ... Bra where the hell are you if you're phoning me?" She asked still tired.

"I'm over at the boutique where you are going to get the makeover of a lifetime for your special day. Mom and the others are going to bring you here to get ready, we all are. Besides the church is not to far from here so it's perfect. Now I'm just warning you now cause my mother will be busting in there any minute now and drag you out. so get yourself together now." She said quickly. Marron nodded her head as she tried to adjust to what Bra had just said.

"All right Bra. see you there." She said before hanging up.

Marron went into the bathroom and got herself together as she quickly took a shower. Tying her hair in a pigtail she slipped into a pair of Jeans and a white sleeveless top. Slipping on a pair of Jandals she walked out of the Bathroom and towards the dressing Table only to stop when she realised that she didn't need to put on any make up especially when she was going to the beauty Boutique in half an hour.

Sighing she walked towards her suitcase and grabbed a LA Cap and some Sunnies (Glasses). Turning around just in time to see to see almost all the girls break in to her room. Bulma, Chichi and Juuhachigou smiled mischievously as Marron gulped. Pan stood by waiting smiling too.

"Are you ready honey. this is your big day." Juuhachigou said softly. Marron nodded her head slowly. As if she was still thinking about it.
The car ride went by quickly and soon they ended up in front of the boutique where Bra was standing. Marron whistled looking out the window at the large building. 'Wow. this must be expensive' she thought getting out. They all walked in and the inside was more luxurious then the outside.

"This place is beautiful." Marron whispered to Pan. Pan smiled and nodded.
They walked further into the lavished room and saw where they will be getting themselves dressed. One section had dressing rooms and mirrors. The other was a small section for nails, and the other was hair. Marron walked over to the tall window and looked out at the view. Bulma walked behind her and put her hand on her shoulder.

"I have been planning this day for you since you and Trunks first started dating all those years ago, but here you are without Trunks, I'm sorry he caused you so much pain; but I hope you are making the right decision Marron."
"Come on. its time to dazzle you up." She said smiling. Marron smiled as well noticing everyone else was already getting their hair or nails done. Bra and Pan were getting a facial next door.
"I'll think I'll get a facial first". Smiled Marron as she walked towards the room where Bra and Pan were.
FOUR HOURS AND MANY MINUTES LATER .............................
Marron looked out the window of the building It had a fantastic view of the Harbour. Smiling as she came out from behind the screen and walked out to where the others were. Their eyes brightened at the sight of her and Bulma and Juuhachigou gasped.

"My baby is so beautiful." Juuhachigou as she went to hug Marron.

"Thank you, Mom I couldn't have done it without you and Bulma's help". She said smiling. Marron was wearing a strapless silk white dress that fit her curves wonderfully. Showed everything that a woman is supposed to have. The front reached down to her feet and the back was longer. it followed a few inches behind her. It was simple but Elegant .....Gown with floral flocking laced around the dress. Accompanied with white gloves.

Her hair was curled and crowned on top of her head. With a few strands curling down and framing her face. Marron smiled and twirled around in it once.
"What do you think?" She asked timidly.
"Absolutely marvellous." Pan said admiring Marron. Bulma nodded.

AT THE CHURCH ........................
She twirled the veil that crowned her head around her fingers. it was not yet time to cover her face with it. She then looked down at her hand with her engagement ring.it was beautiful, A real sight to see. 'And I thought I would never be in this situation' she mused with herself.

Marron took a deep breath and stood up and walked over to the window. She looked at the view and smiled. Today was her day. it was finally happening. 'Then why do you still feel guilty' she questioned.

Marrons smile dropped and she turned back around. A knock at the door sounded and she picked up the front of her dress and ran over there. She had yet to put on her shoes.
"Who is it?" She questioned putting her ear to the door.
"It's me, Marron . it's Showtime!" Bra said cheerily. Marron gasped and opened the door wide.
"Already!" She exclaimed wondering when the time flew by so fast. Bra shook her head and handed her the shoes.
"There now. come on all the guests are here and they are all seated. Everyone else is in place now as soon as you put these on I got to jet to my place." She said as matter of fact.

She paced back and forth getting used to the shoes so she won't fall flat on her face. 'This is it. Mazzy' she thought nervously. Taking the final breath she walked out the door with her bouquet in hand. She saw her maidens and her maiden of honour, Bra. Bra smiled and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek before shooing her to the back of the line.

Marron was at the door and her arm was linked to her father's. He looked up at her and smiled. She took the last breath and they both stepped out onto the royal red carpet in unison. All their eyes were on them.Looking around she noticed that someone wasn't there. Pushing the thought aside so looked at the altar. She was getting close. utterly and severely close to the altar. Marron finally took a peek at Darien.she looked to his eyes and saw so much love for her there she almost couldn't stand it. He wanted her so badly to be his. 'You do too don't you?' she questioned fearfully. They finally stepped up onto the altar and everyone sat down.
"Who is giving this woman away to the groom?" Dende asked softly.

"I am." Krillen said stated and handed his daughter over to Darien.

"We are gathered here today to join these two people in holy matrimony. If there is anyone here that opposes the joining of these two let them speak now or forever hold their peace." Marrons mind went into overdrive...........'What's the answer Marron". she screamed at herself.

His words weren't even audible to her ears anymore. All she could do was watch him bind her and Darien together.

'Marron, Don't leave him ...... again for he is your Love ..... your Mate ....... your other Half.' A voice echoed through her head.

Dende's voice rang through her ears and she was partly happy. It wasn't until she heard Darien say 'I do' that she felt nervous again. "Do you. Marron, take Darien Newman to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, through sickness and in health, through richer or poorer till death do you part?" He asked her. His voice went from sweet to one of severe judgment.
"I-." she started but didn't know if she could continue.

'Marron ....... decide now'. She screamed at herself. Bra and Pan looked at her concerned. 'This is it' they thought in unison. Goten frowned. Trunks had gone to the cabin up in the mountains the day before to forget and try to move on, knowing that he had lost her, was all too much for him to handed and watching this would only make it worse the only thing he could do was isolate himself in self-pity.

Everyone leaned in trying to see if she was at least mouthing the words but really couldn't see since her back was to them.
"Oh would you just say it already I have better things to do." Vegeta bellowed. Bulma slapped his head, frowning at him. The tension was back on Darien and Marron who still hadn't said 'I do' Darien took her hand gently tugging her hand getting her to look at him. Marron looked up at him and he nodded his head. as if he understood. She nodded her head and mouthed 'I'm sorry' he smiled.

"I'm sorry but I can't." She said audible to everyone's ears. She heard the gasps then the whispering going on behind her but she paid no attention to them. She turned to the man at her side. Marron flipped the veil back and looked at him. She opened her mouth to say something but he put his hand up signalling her to stop.
'I knew from the first time I met you your heart belonged to another, I just wanted to be with you, know you and love you, to see if I could be the one to change your mind, You're ............ heart".

He said taking her hand again. He stepped up to her and looked her in the eyes, knowing it would be his last. "The last thing I want is to make you unhappy. And the last thing I want to feel is pain because your heart is with someone else." He said softly.

Marron let the tears slip from her eyes and she nodded. He let go of her hands and stepped back. "Go on. I wish you the best Marron." He said happily. She stepped to him quickly, grabbed the sides of his face with her hands and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"Thank you." Was all she said as she stepped down from the altar. But not before tossing her bouquet to Bra. Stopping in the middle of the aisle she took off her shoes and threw them in opposite directions.

She picked up the front of her dress and ran out of the chapel and down the steps bare foot. People passing by watched as the bride ran out to the sidewalk and flagged down a cab. One stopped and she quickly got in dragging in the rest of her dress.
"Where to ma'am?" Her driver asked.
"Capsule Corp and then the Airport and make it fast!" She said looking out the window.
