A/N Hey guys. I'm sorry about the delay, I lost my will to write. I tried to write but I couldn't be bothered to. Luckily it came back.

Also if you love the Hunger Games then I hope you'll read my new story coming soon called Love Story involving a little Kato romance. First chapter will be up soon. But I probably should stop rambling and let you read. Enjoy. P.S. the double quotations marks mean someone's thoughts.

Previously

'You will marry me and I won't hurt Elphaba.'

Galinda had taken Elphaba back to her room and tended to her but she still hadn't woken up.

'Elphie damn it, wake up.' Galinda said

In Galinda's situation one would think Worst Case Scenario had happened and that Elphaba was dead from the blow to her head but Galinda refused to see it that way. Elphaba was not dead. She could not leave her at a time like this.

'Hello Galinda are you there?' Fiyero asked as he knocked on the door.

'Yeah come in.'

'Hey' as usual he had was in a cheerful mood but that was before he saw the state Elphaba – his Elphaba – was in. And then he saw the tears on Galinda's face.

'Galinda what happened?'

'Oh' Galinda needed an excuse using the one Damon had pulled on her 'A bookshelf fell on top of her and knocked her unconscious. Damon found her and brought her here.'

'But–'

'Listen Fiyero I have to meet my father in the lounge room, he wanted to discuss the wedding. Could you look after her while I'm gone?' she didn't want him asking questions

'Of course I would'

'Thanks, I have to go.' Galinda said

Line Break

'Ah Galinda, come in we were waiting for you. Now we can start, as you know–' Linus began

'Linus stop being so formal, this isn't a council meeting you know.' Elizabeth said rolling her eyes 'Galinda you've had a week to spend time with both of these men. Now you must choose who you wish to marry and I may agree.'

Galinda looked over at Damon who was sitting to her right. Damon may have not been showing any signs of emotions through his face but Galinda could see through his eyes. She knew what he would do if she didn't choose him. She wouldn't let Elphaba be hurt but she would have to hurt Boq in the process. She looked over at Boq. She looked into his eyes and knew the pain which would soon come.

Line Break

Fiyero was holding on to Elphaba closely. How could she get hurt in the library of all places? How did she get hurt at all? Elphaba was the care fullest person he knew. Elphaba never got hurt. Fiyero leaned over to kiss her forehead only to be hit in the head

'Ow, why does my head hurt? Fiyero?...Fiyero! where's Galinda I need to warn her about Damon.'

'Elphaba you're awake! Oh um she's at some meeting. What's this about Damon?' Fiyero asked rubbing his head

'Fiyero, its Damon. He's only after Galinda's money. I have to warn her about him.' She said getting up but she was pulled back

'Fiyero what are you doing? I have to help her' Still trying to escape his grip.

'Elphaba calm down. You been hit hard on the head, you fell unconscious after one of the library stacks fell on top of you. You were probably dreaming about that.'

'Fiyero. Two, no three things I am certain of. One I was not hit by a library stack. Two Damon is after her money and Three if you don't let me go right now–'

'Elphaba what was number one?' Fiyero asked confused

'Fiyero don't you dare start mocking me.'

'I'm not, I'm trying to make sense of things. You say you weren't hurt in the library but Galinda told me you were and that Damon found you under the stack unconscious and brought you here under Galinda's care. Elphaba what exactly do you remember before you went under?'

Flashback

'This tool has ruined my plans to get my hands on her money. Her stupid mother has allowed her to choose which one of us she wants to marry. She's choosing him. He's stealing my money' Damon said.

"Who was he talking to? Someone on the phone. Elphaba wake up, he's out to get Galinda's money. He doesn't love her. You have to help her." I went to walk out but I accidently tripped and sent books from the shelf flying. "Great now I've done it"

Damon turned around at the sound of the crash and came over to me, his frown turned into a smile, an evil smile.

'Never mind, I know how to fix this. I'll get that money' He grabbed my arm and jerked me up.

'You heard everything didn't you. You silly girl, you know that I have a reason to blackmail her now don't you' His smile became bigger and then he slapped me across the face. I fell to the floor in pain. I was beginning to lose consciousness but I was going to stay awake

'Excellent, now that silly blonde will have to marry me. She wouldn't want her dear friend hurt or possibly dead would she. You fool, you've doomed her now.'

Damon left in a hurry. Probably to get Galinda and make up some lie. I had to warn her but I was going under fast. I would probably last another two or three minutes before I was pulled under. I heard voices again but not very clearly.

'Here's what going to happen. You will marry me and I won't hurt her.' … 'I want more. Now if you tattle to anyone, then poor greenie here gets it.' … 'Oh how you led him on to believe you would pick him… "that was it. I could hold on anymore. I'm sorry Gal…

End Flashback

'Fiyero it's all my fault. She has to marry him because of me. She was protecting me. If I wasn't there, then Damon wouldn't have had a reason to blackmail her. She could have married Boq. I ruined everything.' Elphaba began to cry. Fiyero who was still holding her wrapped his arms around her. Comforting her.

'Elphaba, stop it's not your fault. Galinda wouldn't want you to say that.'

'No but I was part of it. Fiyero the last thing he said to her was that he wanted to see Boq's reaction when she chose Damon. Something about how she led the poor Munchkin on.'

'Look Elphaba there's nothing you can do. Galinda is doing this for you. You're the only real friend she has. Would she do that for anyone she didn't care about?'

'I guess not but I'll still feel the guilt about how I ruined her life.'

Line Break

Meanwhile back with Galinda

'So Galinda who do you choose?' Linus asked

'I choose…Damon' Galinda choked out

She couldn't look at Boq. She didn't want to see the hurt in his eyes. Instead she continued to look at her father who was widely grinning.

'Ah my precious girl. I knew you would come to your senses. You're becoming a mature adult. Come on Damon, we have a wedding to continue preparing.' Linus said happily

'Linus I still have to make my decision–' Elizabeth was saying

'We already know your decision. You accepted his proposal in the first place remember?.' Linus said proceeding to walk out the door.

'Linus, hold on I'm not finished with you yet.' Elizabeth said walking out after him

Galinda, who had been holding her tears back couldn't take it anymore. She ran out of the room before Boq could see her cry.

Boq's POV

Boq just sat there watching Galinda run out of the room. How could she do that to him. She always told him that she would choose him. That they were going to be married. How could she lead him on like that.

Galinda's POV

Galinda ran into her room to see that Elphaba had awoken. She was grateful but she needed a friend more than anything right now.

'Fiyero, out now!' she screamed slamming the door behind her

'Uh…'

'I'm sorry but I need to talk to Elphaba alone. Now please!'

'Ok. I'll see you later alright' he said to Elphaba kissing her on her fore head.

Fiyero opened the door to walk out

'Fiyero?' Galinda asked

'Yes?'

'Thank you for taking care of Elphaba' Galinda managed to get out

'No problem' Fiyero said before he left. As soon as he was gone, Galinda let it all out

'Elphaba…' Galinda choked out

Elphaba hugged her tight, comforting her.

'Galinda what happened?'

'It was awful. I had to marry Damon, I was in the meeting with my parents, and I had to choose between Boq and Damon…' Galinda said crying

'Galinda, I'm so sorry for this. It's my fault. If I wasn't in the library, then Damon wouldn't have seen me and used me as blackmail against you.'

'Elphaba, Damon forced me to choose him or else he would kill you. I couldn't let him do that. It was horrible, I chose him in front of Boq, I can't imagine what he's thinking of me now. I told him I loved him and that I would choose him. And now I have to marry Damon.'

'Galinda!...oh I'm so stupid, why didn't I think of this before. I'm your maid of honour right? You said I was. The maid of honour is the second most important person in the bridal party besides the bride. I have to be seen at the wedding or people will question things. So Damon can't hurt me or kill me. Not like he could anyway.'

'Elphaba have you forgotten what happened? He knocked you unconscious remember'

'Hey, I had nothing to defend myself with. If I had had my wand than he would be the unconscious.'

'ok point taken but besides that, I have to marry him. He even made Boq his best man just to make me miserable. That man is pure evil.'

'Galinda get some sleep ok, you had a long day. And these next few days leading up to the wedding will be long as well.'

'Ok, but will you stay here please?'

'Of course'

Line Break

So many days past and Galinda dreaded each one, the wedding was getting closer. Soon enough the wedding approached which was to be in two days.
