"God! How are we gonna get all these orders in?" I exclaimed running my fingers through my hair. "I mean Dad is only giving us a month tops to finish everything and we still have so much to do. And then there's Sel who is so busy with her wedding plans that she won't be able to come in and help us out at all."

"Chill bro. Stop stressing out about everything." My brother Joe called out from across the room as he looked up from his phone. He was probably texting one of his many "girlfriends". Lets just say lately there hasn't just been one girl in his life. He is constantly leading girls on. Ever since his break up from Taylor that is.

"You in for a for a double date tonight? I met this really hot chick at that club last week. I mean she's smokin' hot. But she won't go out for me until I find someone for her friend. That's where you come in."

"No Joe. I'm not going and neither are you. We have to go look at flowers tonight for Selena's wedding. That's today tonight, remember? You gotta be there or Mom'll freak. "

'Man, I am so sick of this wedding stuff and it hasn't even began yet. Why do we need to be apart of everything? I mean seriously do we need to be there for everything? Why do we need to be there to pick flowers? I mean how important is that?"

I sighed. I wasn't such a big fan of this wedding prep stuff either. But Mom keeps insisting that we take part in as much of it as possible. She says it's good family bonding time. As if we need any more family time. We practically do everything together. I mean we all work together for petes sake. Me, Joe, and Sel run the advertising branch of the company. It's what we've done for the past three years. It's the family business. But Selena hasn't been around much because of the wedding. She's getting married. I still cannot believe it. What's even harder to believe is who she's getting married to. She's marrying Taylor, my best friend. I mean I'm still wondering how that happened. She's following our family's footsteps perfectly. Our family only associates with other families on the same level as us. And I'm using the term associates very lightly. Now I'm not talking about it in a conversing or friendship aspect. More in the view of relationships. We have a group or circle you can say of other families that are on the same social level with us and they are the people we associate with I guess. It is a very large group. About one fourth of the community. These are the people we are expected to "get together with". I mean it's not our only option, but we are highly praised when we do so. I think it's completely ridiculous. But so far nobody has married out of it yet. Joe was also on the "right "

Path or track or whatever or you wanna call it with Taylor. They dated for a full five years before breaking up three months ago. They were perfect together, or at least that's what it seemed like to everybody. But their break up was a nasty one and we still don't know why they broke up. I don' even think Joe knows why they broke up. But they did. What makes it more awkward is that they are still always around each other, considering the fact that Taylor is Selena's best friend and mine. Taylor being Selena's maid of honor doesn't help the matter much either.

"So what are you guys doing?" Sel asked as she skipped into the room.

"Haven't you heard of knocking?"

"Coming from the guy who doesn't even know what a door is. Joe, are you really that stupid? There's no door here doofus"

"You could've knocked on the wall!"

She sighed, "I really did not come here to deal with this nonsense."

"Nonsense! I am very hurt with your choice of words!"

"Oh put a sock in it"

"Are you willing to provide the sock?"

I stepped in between them. "Where were you all morning? We really need to get all the orders in and Dad's only giving us so much time. "

She cut me off. She really needs to stop doing that to people. "Relax Nick. I was at my dress appointment with Taylor. Oh and you need to go with Taylor Tuesday to go look at tuxes.'"

I'm Taylor's best man. Like I said we're best friends.

Joe interrupted her. "Wait did you just say you were with Taylor. Seriously? Why? Do you hate me or something? Aren't you supposed to be MY sister?"

Selena rolled her eyes." Calm down Joseph. Yes I was with her. Why wouldn't I be? She's my best friend and maid of honor. Just because you decided to be a douchebag to her doesn't mean I have to stop being friends with her. "

"And YOU'RE supposed to be my sister?"

"God Joe. You should really grow up and start becoming more serious with you relationships. Maybe if you'd done that you two would still be together!"

'Who says I still wanna be with her!"

'Who says who don't?"

Once again I had to step in." Guys stop! Seriously? I though we outgrew these fights like last year?"

"Maybe you did but we didn't! it's just too much fun"

Selena spoke up." I just came to remind you guys about tonight. Don't forget. We're meeting at "Flora's" at six. Don't be late. And Joe, behave yourself. Taylor is going to be there. "

Joe spoke up." Yeah about that. I really don't wanna go. I kinda have plans for Nick and me tonight. You understand right?"

"Oh don't bring me into this." I said.

'Listen Joe. It really doesn't matter to me if you're gonna be there or not. But it does to Mom. So you're gonna be the one to tell Mom, not me."

She pulled out her phone and hit a button. Then she passed it to Joe. He swallowed nervously as he took the phone.

"Hey mom. No I was just calling to talk about tonight."

As he listened to her on the line he looked at Sel and me nervously.

"No of course I'm gonna be there. I… uh… just called to see if you needed a ride for tonight. Yeah uh- uh that's exactly why I called. Oh okay if you're sure you don't need a ride. Yea Mom of course I'll be there. I wouldn't miss it for anything. Yea love you too. Bye."

Selena and me broke into fits of laughter as we listened to Joe's conversation.

"I hate you guys. That so wasn't funny."

"I guess I'll see you both tonight. Toodles"

I groaned as I walked out of the flower shop. Two hours looking at flowers! Ughhhh! I need coffee.

In minutes I had my coffee in my hand as I opened the door I heard a scream. While opening the door I hit a girl. And right now at this moment she was lying on the floor. Unconscious. Crap!

Hope you guys liked it! Tell me any ideas you have for this story! Should i continue?
