"Toni, are you listening to me?"

"Huh?" My attention went back to Liz, who had an annoyed look on her face. We were in a backroom of the church

"I'm only an hour away from either making the greatest or worst decision in my life and you're not even listening to me!" My poor sis. Only an hour ago she was rattling about how perfect her wedding would be and how she couldn't wait to be a wife. All of a sudden, cold feet.

I snapped out of daze and focused on Liz.

Really, she looked beautiful in her white wedding dress. But beneath her beautiful eyes tears welled up.

"Liz, listen to me," I placed my hands on her cheeks and stared deep into her blue eyes. "You and Colton were meant for each other and this...this is not a mistake." I grabbed a tissue and carefully wiped away any smeared masacara. "There will be ups and downs, but all that matters is that you love him. And he loves you. And the life you'll live together will be a long, beautiful, happy life, with mom and dad watching from above and protecting you." My sister smiled and gave me a kiss on the cheek.

"What would I do without you, Toni?"

"Probably with messed up makeup on your wedding day." We laughed, then Liz got serious for a moment. "I'm sorry if I've acted like one of those crazy bridezillas-"

I waved my hand. "You have the right to. Your wedding is suppose to be perfect anyways."

Liz smiled, then placed her hand on mine. "Can I just ask one more favor?"

"Anything." I truly meant it.

"Can you tell Colton-tell him I love him."

"Of course."

After making sure my sister was okay, I left to fulfill her wish. The wedding was held in Colton's parents' estate out in the countryside. They had money, which was good for Liz. She needed to have finacnially stability in her life. I wish I could say the same about me. I tried not to think of the pile of bills lying around my kitchen counter and walked down the hall way to the grooms' dressing room, but ended up stopping in front of the hall mirror. It took a moment for me to recognize the girl staring back-me.

Yet she was too beautiful to be me. Her hair was in soft waves, framing her heart-shaped face, her brown eyes seemed to sparkle just an extra bit, and her skin was glowing next to the pale gold bride's maids dress (thank god I had the final say on it). It was hard to realize it was me, who last night took the late shift serving to football fanatics and cleaning spilled drinks of the floor.

A low whistle came from the other end of the hall. I looked up and almost gasped. Wowwww.

A blonde hair man smiled, showing off his pearly whites. He had the brightest blue eyes I've ever seen and had a sex appeal that was one to a male model.

"Now, please don't tell me you're the bride. If so, Colton is one lucky man."

I giggled (yes, giggled!) and shook my head. "I'm the maid of honor."

He smiled some more. "Well then, lucky me."

I began to blush as he made his way closer to me. Biting my lip, I started to tentatively back up as he came closer...until I almost tripped over my heels.

Red from embarrassment, it also did some good as it woke me up.

"I-uh, I-um, I better go." I quickly walked away, silently cursing myself for acting like such an idiot.

I could have sworn I heard him laugh.


"I'll call you when we get to Madrid." My sister whispered into my ear before taking off with her new husband. The happy couple drove off in a white limo to the airport and all the guests went back inside to dance and party away.

Opting to stay outside a bit more, I looked up at the stars disappointedly. Sirius had came for a bit last night, and I may have (okay, I did) invited him to come to the wedding.

"So like a date?" There goes that smirk again.

"Nooo." Yes. "I am simply being courteous and inviting you to my sister's wedding."

"As a date?"

"No." Ugh, yes!

He though about it for a moment. "What time?"

"7:00." My heart began to beat just a little bit faster. Please say yes, please say yes!

"Okay." YES!

"Good. I'll save you a seat then."

"Save me a dance instead." Sirius winked. My heart t. This schoolgirl crush was getting out of control.

He didn't show up.

POP!

Alarmed, I looked around. "Hello?"

"Toni?" Recognizing that voice, I called out."

"Sirius?" He came out of the shadows, a large gash on the side of his face. I didn't know what came over me, but I flung my arms around him. Underneath, I could feel him wince.

"Oh, I'm so sorry!" I reluctantly let go and looked into his face. "Here, I'll go get some ice-" But I felt my hand being pulled.

"You look beautiful tonight," Sirius said softly. The back of my neck tingled and my knees began to feel weak as he pulled me closer to him. "Would you like to dance?"

"There's no music," I replied back quietly. Sirius shrugged it off.

"We'll make some." He put his hands on my waist and started to hum an unrecognizable tune.

It was silence between the two of us as we slow danced beneath the stars. This was definitely one of the most romantic moments I've ever had in my life; ever.

"You're dying to know what happened, correct?" Though it seems just like yesterday we met, he sure knew me pretty well.

"Yes, but I figured it had to do with the Order." Sirius twirled me around.

"Yup. Highly classified."

"Oh."

"But I promise to tell you."

And he did that night at my apartment.

...

And then I slept with him.
