Okay here is the next chapter, as promised. This one is longer. I'm not done reworking my story yet, but I finished chapter 14 (a chapter I added) and it is SUPER long, I think the longest chapter I have ever written, and the writing style may seem different, because my writing style has changed in five years, so yeah (I just noticed that I do that in like every author's note, but oh well). Also I have an NSYNC song in this chapter so if you don't like NSYNC please don't flame me, I just thought it fit. Um, I think that is about it so here is the next chapter.
Disclaimer: (See previous chapters) But an add on is I don't own "This I Promise You," by NSYNC.

Chapter 13
Wedding Preparations
The next morning we started to plan the wedding. Before Serena and I set out to look at bridesmaids gown with Lita, Mina, Amy, Lizzie I had an idea on how I could finally set up Lita and Andrew. I asked Lita and Andrew to meet me outside, but they didn't know the other one was going to be there. When they got to the garden where I asked to met them, I was already there and the first word out of their mouth was,
"Hey what is he/she doing here?" I smiled,
"Well I have something to tell the both of you," I paused as they nodded, "Well Lita I'll tell you first, Andrew likes you." Lita's face spread into a soft smile and Andrew began to freak out,
"RAYE!! I'M GONNA KILL YOU I TOLD YOU NEVER TO TELL!!!" I put a hand up,
"Andrew, Lita likes you too." Andrew calmed down then looked at Lita and smiled,
"You do?" Lita smiled and nodded. I took that as my cue to leave. A few minutes later we went out to go shopping and succeeded in persuading Andrew and Greg to come and give their input. We were going to have separate weddings at the same time, because the church where Serena wanted to get married didn't want to do a double wedding, and the only time I could get at another church was the same time. Go figure, you rule the earth, but no one will let you get married when and how you want. So we each were going to have two bridesmaids and two groomsmen. I got Lita as my maid of honor, Andrew as the best man, Lizzie as another bridesmaid and Greg as the groomsman. Serena got Amy as her maid of honor, Damien as the best man, Mina as a bridesmaid, and Ken as a groomsman. Chad and Grandpa said they were coming and my father was coming to give me away. The dresses that we chose for the bridesmaids were the same style but different colors. Lita and Lizzie's dresses were strapless red dresses with gold trim at the top and a sheer gold cape attached to the back. Mina and Amy's dresses were just like that but theirs' were blue with silver trim and a silver sheer cape. We had already chosen the cakes a few weeks back, but Serena asked if we could all go back and get the free samples again.
When we got home I went to my room and collapsed on my bed from a tiring day of shopping. Guys always tease girls about shopping, but they never realize how tiring it really is. I slept for what seemed like two seconds when I felt someone shaking me. I opened my eyes to see Lita,
"Raye, Raye, Raye wake up." I pushed her hands away and rubbed my eyes as I yawned,
"I'm up, I'm up, what is it?"
"Raye, Darien's practicing a surprise that he has for Serena and we need you to pose as Serena." She said while dragging me down the hall with one hand.
"What?!? Why me? Why not you?" Lita never turned around,
"We need you, because" She paused looking like she was thinking of an answer, "Because you are the closest to Serena's height. Ya that's right" I groaned. We entered a large room where the reception where the party was going to be held. There was a round table and one chair by it. Lita forced me over to the chair by the shoulder and pushed me to sit down. Andrew was in the back and Lita walked back to him and they held each other and Lita rested her head on Andrew's shoulder. They made such a cute couple. I looked up on the stage where we were going to have entertainment and there was Darien sitting on a tall chair with a mike in his hand. He took a deep breath and said,
"I wrote this song for a very special person," he pointed to me, "this is for you." I blushed and Andrew turned on a tape machine in the back. Darien took another deep breath then began the song;
When the visions around you
Bring tears to your eyes
And all that surround you
Are secrets and lies
Darien began to walk down from the stage towards me.
I'll be your strength
I'll give you hope
Keeping your faith when it's gone
He took my hands and made me stand up.
The one you should call
Was standing here all along
And I will take you in my arms
He slipped one are around my waist and I rested my head on his chest and we began dancing in the old fashioned way.
And hold you right where you belong
'Til the day my life through
This I promise you
This I promise you
I raised my head to look at him and he seemed to be glowing and his eyes held all the love he had inside. This was our dream, that we would be getting married instead of him marrying Serena and me marrying Craig.
I've loved you forever
In lifetimes before
I remembered the scene on the balcony in the past.
And I promise you never
Will you hurt anymore
I give you my word
I give you my heart
This is a battle we've won
And with this vow
Forever has now begun
By the look in his eyes I could tell when he said 'this is for you,' he really did mean me, not Serena.
Just close your eyes
Each lovin' day
And know this feeling won't go away
I leaned my head on his shoulder and before I closed my eyes I noticed Lita and Andrew grinning at us then at each other the back at us again. They had planned the whole thing silently I said 'Thank you, Thank you.'
'Til the day my life is through
This I promise you
This I promise you
Over and over I fall
When I hear you call
Without you in my life, baby
I just wouldn't be living at all
A few tears came from my closed eyes as I tightened my grip around Darien's neck.
And I will take you in my arms
And hold you right where you belong
'Til the day my life is through
This I promise you, baby
Just close your eyes
Each lovin' day
And know this feeling won't go away
Every word I say is true
This I promise you
Every word I say is true
This I promise you
I promise you
He rested his head against mine and whispered,
"Raye, you have my heart forever. And that I promise you." He kissed my temple, then wiped the tears from my eyes. He walked passed me and past Andrew and through he swinging doors. I just stood there watching the doors swing back and forth.
Awwwwwww......sadness for them. So you won't see Raye and Darien in the next chapter, but in that chapter you'll get to know Craig, because I highly doubt anyone knows who he is or likes him at all and I want people to like him. He's not bad, it's not his fault that Raye and Darien aren't together and he's a nice guy, I based him off a really good guy friend of mine. But you may still not like him after the next chapter, and you are entitled to your opinion so yes (see I didn't do yeah! I did yes! crickets chirping as everyone stares what?.....okay fine it's basically the same thing, but hey it's a start). Okay please R&R!!
