Coward 2
I can't believe this is happening. I can't believe my mom is getting married to someone other than Bosco. Even Charlie who is usually clueless about this sort of thing could see Bosco is in love with her. She's in love with him too, I can tell.
Look at her pretending she's so happy. She can fool everybody but me. This is so ridiculous. How could she pick this jag-off instead of Bosco? He's hot. I'd go for him if he wasn't old enough to be my dad. Maybe I'll flirt with him at the reception - with age comes experience. Naw, it would be too creepy.
I caught him once sneaking out of her room in the middle of the night. He didn't see me luckily. I thought at the time that in the morning, mom would call a "family meeting" and tell us they were getting married, but she didn't. Bosco disappeared for a few days then showed up at one of Charlie's basketball games like nothing had happened. I realize now it wasn't the first or the last time they were together.
I hear the music start so I stand behind the doors. When they open I start to walk down the aisle. Look at that guy. He even looks a little like Bosco. I heard Holly and mom talking about him. Holly was asking if he was good in bed. Mom said they were waiting until the wedding night. I can't believe she's buyin' the car without takin' it for a test drive. I know I wouldn't.
I force a smile for my soon to be step dad. What a loser. When I reach the front of the church I turn around and face our friends and family sitting in the pews. My eye falls on Ty Davis. Man, I'd like to break me off a piece of that! He's sitting with his mother, Maggie, and Sully. I'm glad they finally worked everything out. Mom said when Sully and Maggie came back from Vegas married, Ty didn't speak to Sully for a whole year. Sully retired and opened a music shop with Maggie. Who'd a thought?
Holly joins me at the front and I see poor Bosco. He looks so miserable. It's his own fault though. He could have stopped this. All he had to say was three little words. I don't think he's dated anyone since my dad died. How could mom not see this? Everybody else did years ago. Hell, even dad knew Bosco loved her. That's why he was always trying to get her to quit her job.
I am so proud of mom's dress. It's perfect for her. The color highlights her hair and makes her eyes shine. I couldn't believe she asked me to make it for her. I can't believe Bosco bought me that sewing machine! Holy cow, it's top of the line. I didn't expect when I told him that I was thinking about design school that he would do something like that. You don't spend that kind of money on your "partner's" kid. It's so obvious he did it to show her he loved me and by extension Charlie as much as he loved her. I just want to shake mom. Can't she see what she's throwing away?
The minister starts speaking and I glance over at Bosco. "If any man here can show reason why these two should not be joined in matrimony, let him speak now or forever hold his peace."
"Faith, I'm in love with you."
YES!!! He finally said it! Go Bosco!!
