Chapter Twenty-Three
Blackout!
I ended up going out just to get away from them.
I went over to Peter. He was all ready and everything. I walked down the path and stood there. Jack started the wedding. "Do you, Peter, take Lana as your wife? Do you promise to love, honor and cherish her so long as you both shall live?"
"I do." He put the wedding ring on my finger.
"Do you, Lana, take Peter as your husband? Do you promise to love, honor and cherish him so long as you both shall live?"
"I…I..." BLACKOUT!!!
I heard Peter calling my name. "Lana? Lana? Lana?" The voice got higher. "Lana? Lana? Lana!"
I shot up. "I do!"
"What?" the voice asked.
"MOM?" Yes…it was her. In my personal space. In my bed. In my room. In my house. In my neighborhood. In my city. In my state. In my country. In my continent. In my world. In my universe. In my time.
"Yeah…you slept till 11:00. I just wanted to make sure you were ok."
"Yeah. I'm fine. I guess. Just a crazy dream."
"Ok…I will leave then."
"Ok. Bye." I said getting up and walking her out. Then I slammed the door.
I looked at myself. I looked…14. Except one thing…Peter's wedding ring. On my finger.
Jenna walked in, "Hey! What's going on? I heard you scream "I do". What's
with---OMG!!! YOUR WEARING A WEDDING RING!!! MOM!!!"
"Get out of here twerp!" I screamed.
I got dressed and went downstairs. My mom was making lunch. "You going to Nicole's party tonight?"
"Who?"
"You remember…you were begging me to let you go to her party tonight."
Nicole was a popular at school. It was a once in a lifetime chance to go to one of her parties. Anna Ruth, Taylor, and I got invited.
"Oh yeah…I guess I am."
