One more chapter to go. I know the last one was not MY best, definetly not my favorite chapter. Hopefully this one is better.

The wedding is finallt here. Will Kono marry Dylan? Will Steve stop her? This is like a mexican soap opera, for sure.

Love you all.

Do not forget to review!

Two weeks later.

She couldn't believe the day was finally here. She was getting married in less than an hour. She was soon to be Mrs. Matthews forever.

She sat in front of the mirror in a small room at the church. Maggie had already applied her makeup and was now currently working on her hair. She had set it in soft waves; it wasn't anything fancy and it looked natural, she didn't want to make it so exaggerated.

Her mother kept telling her she looked beautiful, her eyes full with tears of joy. She was herself about to break into tears, but not tears of joy at all.

"All done," Maggie said, making the last few touches on her hair. "You look gorgeous; Dylan is going to flip when he sees you."

She smiled at her friend and the lame attempts of making her smile. Though Maggie had been against her wedding since day one, she had supported her friends decision even if she reminded her how much of a mistake this was when Kono showed any sign of cold feet. Now she had stopped, for obvious reasons. There was no more 'stop doing this' from her friend.

So she began crying after a few minutes. She had tried to hold herself together for hours, especially in front of her mother, but now, seeing Maggie in her maid of honor dress and telling her how happy Dylan was going to be, made her snap. She could no longer control the tears and the sobs coming from her mouth.

"Honey, c'mon you're gonna ruin your make up," Maggie whispered, making small comforting circles with her hand on her friends back.

"God Maggie… what am I doing?" she spoke between sobs, tears streaming down her face.

"You're getting married, like you wanted."

"But this is so wrong. So wrong…"

"Honey, it's too late. You said it yourself, you had already made up your mind and this was your choice."

She sobbed louder this time, covering her face with her hands. Her friend hugged her, but instead of making her feel better she felt worse.

"I can't do this…" she sobbed again, "I can't… I need… God, I need to leave." She got up quickly, making her way towards the door. Maggie did the same, stepping in front of her friend.

"What are you doing?"

"I have to go. I can't do this…"

"Are you nuts? Your mother is outside, what are you going to tell her?"

"I don't know!"

She paced around the room, wiping away her tears angrily. Maggie watched her, watched at how desperate her friend was and she too was desperate to help her out.

There was a knock on the door; both friends looked at each other in silence. There was another knock and neither of them moved

"Kono?" it was Dylan, knocking frantically on the door, each knock became louder "Are you alright?"

"Yes," Maggie answered. "She's fine. She's getting ready now."

"Open the door," he demanded and Kono immediately shook her head vigorously.

"You can't see the bride before the wedding!" Maggie said. "It's bad luck!"

"Open the door Maggie. I need to see her…"

He pushed the door open in one quick motion. Kono was standing in the middle of the room, eyes puffy. Maggie made a lame attempt of stepping between them, covering Kono with her body.

"It's bad luck," Maggie repeated in Dylan's face, he smiled at her.

"I don't believe in that sort of thing," he spoke, moving to stand before Kono. "Are you alright? I heard you crying."

She really hoped he hadn't heard her saying she was making a mistake.

"Yeah. I'm fine," she lied.

"Do you mind, Maggie? I need to speak to her alone."

Maggie made her way towards the door, shaking her head.

'I have a bad feeling about this' she whispered on her way out.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Dylan asked Kono again.

"Yeah, I'm okay," she said once more.

"Is it about Steve?"

She frowned, a shiver running down her back. Had he heard their conversation? Did he know?

"About him not being here?" he continued. She sighed in relief.

"Yes," she spoke, fresh new tears running down her cheeks. She found the perfect excuse to cry now. "I really wanted him to be with me…"

"I know, sweetie," he whispered, kissing her forehead and wiping away her tears. "I wish I could do something about it."

"I know. It's okay…" she smiled tenderly. "I'm gonna be fine, don't worry."

"Okay," he smiled, kissed her and made his way towards the door. "I'll be waiting outside. I cannot wait to make you my wife."

He winked and closed the door behind her. She felt the tears and the sobs coming to her once again and this time she wasn't going to stop them.

Steve sat on his couch, remote control in his hand, a beer in the other. His phone beeped, it was the fifth time already and he knew it was Danny trying to convince him to go to the wedding. He wasn't in the mood to fight him.

He switched channels, grabbed another beer and took a long sip. He felt the effects of it already showing up and the annoying beeping of his phone once again. He didn't want to pick up but figure if he didn't it wouldn't stop.

"What?" he asked harshly to whoever was in the other line, Danny or not.

"You can still change your mind about not coming."

He wasn't mistaken; it was Danny and his attempt to convince him.

"I told you, I'm not going."

"Steve, Maggie told me Kono had been crying," Danny explained. "She also told me Kono was about to run away and call the wedding off."

He sat straight up on his chair quickly, paying close attention at Danny's words.

"Are you serious?"

"Yes. I've been calling you nonstop for the last fifteen minutes, to tell you exactly this," Danny said, "you still have time, if you hurry…"

He thought about it for a minute, settling for what Danny had just told him; he still had time, he could still be there in hopes for her to call the wedding off.

"I'll meet you at the church."
