Wedding Blues

Yes, chapter three is already on the go, ready to be read and be reviewed. My vacation has and probably one week of September before school starts (boo), and this story, believe it or not, is going to be not very long (maybe ten or eleven chapters, depends on how far I stretch it).

Chapter Three

Silence.

It was so quiet, Kuki could hear the shuffling of feet outside in the hallway. But that didn't bother.

What did bother her?

"No, its Daniel. He's the one for me. Since the day I met him. No one else is going to cross my mind," she said aloud to herself. Only five minutes after Wally hung up on her, she had been thinking of this. She felt like every other cliché; the woman thinks of some other man just before one the happiest days of her life.

Was it going to end like that?

No, it isn't going to be like that. I'm not going to be so foolish; I have to take the chance. Nothing is going to get in the way of Daniel and my wedding. Nothing, she thought.

So, why did she hear something in the back of her head say, "How sure are you?"

Kuki, however, ignored it.

Tomorrow's wedding.

It was going to be ideal.

No, not a church. Not a beach. Not a lakeside home from the 1800's. Instead, it was a forest.

Not just any forest.

A lot of people had weddings there. It was a very beautiful forest. A little pond was in the middle. And from all the previous weddings, they used an arch made from branches lying around. Kuki loved the beauty.

It was one of the most popular places to have a wedding.

And a wedding in a church just seemed too traditional for Kuki.

From six-to seven o'clock Pm, it would be the wedding. From seven to nine would be the service.

Nothing would ruin it. It was going to be perfect.

Every little detail was planned out. It wasn't even going to cost much.

The phone rang.

Her heart jumped, and she hesitated for a minute, thinking it would be Wally…maybe to apologize.

Picking it up, she hesitantly said into it, "Hello?"

"Oh, I'm sorry…this must be the wrong number," an unknown voice said. Kuki's heart dropped. "It is alright." She hung up the phone.

Wait? Why was she thinking of Wally anyways? Why did her mind go into an agonizing headache when she even just thought of his name? Was she really in love with him?

God, was she tired of repeated, No, in her mind, over and over. It was giving her more than a headache.

Or, was it lovesickness?

Wally was already at the bachelor party thirty-minutes before it was to start. He saw Hoagie there, who had obviously thought of the same thing—getting there before the crowd.

"Hi!" Hoagie ran over to him, a soda in his hand. "Aren't you also the groom's best man?" he joked. Wally looked away. That was another thing he regretted saying to Daniel.

"Hey, I'm only joking. Why are ya so upset?"

Wally seemed to clench his hands into fists…but then he loosened them. "I—I don't know," he lied. "I'm just…not really in this whole 'wedding' thing."

As a few more people for the party came in, Hoagie looked at Wally. "Are you okay? You sound like you did before the Dodgeball Tournament. And we won."

Looking up from his gaze, Wally stared at Hoagie. "You remember that? You remember all of it?"

Hoagie nodded. "Yeah. You're my best friend, pal, and that was one of the most important days of your life."

Wally gave a small smile. Not as important as tomorrow will be, he thought.

One of Daniel's friends yelled, "Look, he's coming!"

All of his friends rushed to him.

Hoagie, going to congratulate Daniel, left Wally to have a small 'evil' moment.

Let the game begin…he mischievously said in his mind.
