Chapter 2

"Are you ready Jase? Ready to make the worst mistake of your life?" Carly asked, bitterly.

"Carly," Jason said in a warning tone.

"You don't love her but you're throwing away your life for this tramp. Courtney's the one you love, forget about this sham of a wedding and go to her!" Carly insisted.

"Carly that's enough. You know I can't do that. This is the way things have to be, just leave it at that."

"But Jase!"

"Go take your seat Carly," He interrupted her, walking away.

"You could've done this the easy way." Carly muttered under her breath. She walked into down the aisle, nodding at Edward as she did. She took her seat beside Sonny. He was so calm, so peaceful almost, so not Sonny. Something was definitely up. For Sonny to be like this after his best friend and tramp had betrayed him like this, there was more than meets the eye. She would figure it out but first things first. She had to concentrate on this phony wedding.

"Are you sure about this?" Emily asked.

"I'm sure, this is what I have to do." Jason replied.

"Okay then good luck." She wrapped him tightly in a hug.

She scurried off to take her place as he did the same.

Jason stood at the front of the church, trying not to remember how his wedding to Courtney had been. Unlike this one, it had been based on love. God, she looked so beautiful that day. She looked beautiful everyday but that day was something else, she had a radiant glow. He closed his eyes for a moment as he pictured her face in his head. The music started and his eyes flew open. He couldn't think of Courtney anymore, it just wasn't possible. He turned slowly and saw Sam standing there. She looked beautiful in her wedding dress but she couldn't compare to Courtney.

Sam started walking down the aisle, towards him and with every move she made, his heart sunk lower. It was as if admitting that he would never again have a chance with Courtney, the woman he loved. She finally took her place before him and the wedding was started.

As soon as the minister asked if anyone objected, he immediately glanced at Carly, who glanced at Edward. Edward tried to stand up but Justus held him down. "Oh god," he thought. When she saw that he wasn't going to do anything, Carly stood up herself but she didn't have a chance to say anything.

"I only have one thing to say," Courtney announced as she walked into the church.
