I decided to rewrite this chapter. I know I haven't updated in like MONTHS and I'm sorry. But I'm back so anticipate more chapters soon! Hope y'all still want to read this!
"Marti...it's just not that simple."
"I don't want to sound bratty but Case, it is."
"It's difficult with us. We have so much of a past and though we had our good times, we've had really bad times too."
Marti didn't understand why things being difficult was a major thing. That was life.
"Case...if it wasn't difficult, it wouldn't be you and Derek."
"I know...I am so confused."
"You know he still loves you."
"Clearly. After our fight, I went upstairs and really thought about what he had said. He wants Daisy and I to go back with him and live with him. But, never did he mention us getting married. I can't live like that."
"Casey...he would marry you in a heartbeat. So, let me ask my question again. Do you love my brother?"
Marti was tired of Casey beating around the bush when it came to the subject of her older brother. She just wanted Casey to say it and get it out in the open. She really didn't expect her to so she was surprised with the next thing that came out of her mouth.
"With every fiber of my being. I love him so much. But, it's like I want to throw a book at him and the same time I want to jump him. I'm so confused. I'm sorry Marti. It's so much and to put on you..."
"I know I'm young but I am smarter than most people. I couldn't help it growing up in a house with you."
"I know Marti. Thanks."
"So...are you going to tell Derek?"
"No. Yes. Maybe...but I can't just give in."
"Make him work for it. I love my big brother very much but he did hurt you. Make him work for it. But also let him know he has a chance."
"You're right. I'm going back upstairs. We have a big day ahead of us tomorrow."
"Night Casey. Good luck."
Next Day
Casey, Marti, and Nora surrounded Lizzie in the back room. Nora was practically already crying. Her little girl was all grown up.
"Liz...I'm just so...I'm so happy..." Nora said between sobs. Practically turned into actually fast.
"Thanks mom. It's an amazing and scary feeling being here. It's awesome."
Soon a church official told Nora it was time to take her seat because the wedding would start soon. And then it was just the three sisters.
"So, Marti, are you nervous about walking with Michael? He's twenty-two and totally amazing looking," Casey ask the younger girl.
"No. It doesn't matter how hott they are because deep inside they are just immature little kids."
"Amen!" the other two said.
"I can't believe we won't be the single sisters anymore!" Marti said as they put the final touches on Lizzie.
"Who would have thought I would be getting married before Casey?"
The girls laughed and then changed the subject quickly when they saw the look in Casey's eyes.
Soon the music started and both Casey and Marti went to meet their escorts. For Marti, it would be fun, walking with an older, attractive guy. For Casey, it would be awkward and strange. She would be walking with the very guy she should have walked down the aisle to many years ago.
Finally, Lizzie's father came and got her and the bridal march began.
Hope you liked it. Reviews would be nice. Thanks a bunch :)
