Chapter Seven

June

I slid on my dress and shoes. Becca was helping Rachel in to her. Rachel and I got Becca in to her dress. We grabbed the flowers and headed to the main chapel. Clyde's friend and Rachel walked down first, and then went Jake and me, lastly Becca made her way down the isle. It was the church Jeremy and I had gotten married in but it looked completely different. Becca's there was ivory and silver; mine had been sea foam green and Lilac. I wouldn't let myself feel anything negative today, it was Becca's day.

On Clyde's side there where many gods that I had seen at the ball. Clyde's mother was there, as well as Zafrina. There were some that glanced at me sadly, and then there were some who looked happy. They might have thought I moved on, I was close with Jake the whole night. We held hands, our fingers interlaced on our way down the isle. It only made me wonder how many girls had he done this too? How where they now? Where they dead? I was hoping that I was the best off then any of them?

At the reception I didn't start drinking until after the toast, a whole hour in. I went to go get a martini right before Becca threw the bouquet. I didn't want to enter the mess to catch it. Being married once was enough for me. Rachel was the one to catch it. I went and sit with them; I got another drink every ten minutes. Some of the goddesses came and talked to me. Zafrina made sure I was doing okay. But she told me to watch my actions, I think she knew what was going to happen but it would have gone better if she had told me.

By the father daughter dance, which went well, so I'm guessing Becca and Billy took a special handicap dancing class; I was stumbling to the bar. Jake kept telling me I should stop, and that I'd had enough. I ran in to a guy and he tried helping me back to the table. I remember asking him to take me back to his room instead.

Once I was back at the table Jake wanted to make sure I was okay. "Bella, do you want to go home?"

"No Jake. God you haven't even taken me out to dinner yet and your trying to get me laid." He scowled at me.

"Bella we went to dinner last week. Just tell me when you want to go home and I'll drive you." I knew I had upset him but it wasn't that big of a problem to me at that time.

The guy Rachel walked with was sitting alone. I managed to get up and get to his table without falling. We talked for a little till I decided I wanted to spice up the conversation.

"So how did you meet Clyde? He is quite the character. I'm surprised he didn't meet Becca at a Chip N' Dale."

"No we met at law school."

"Oh ya, he's a lawyer. I've always wanted to be dressed as a secretary and have sex with a guy in a suite. On a desk, I think that would be fitting. Do you know any available desks?"He looked uncomfortable. He got up and walked over to Clyde and Becca. Becca looked from him to me, as Rachel laughed. I waved and she got up to talk to me.

"Hi Mommy."

"Don't be a smartass. Stop harassing Clyde's friends." She didn't look to happy.

"Oh relax; don't you have better things to worry about?"

"No Bella your really the only one fucking things up right now."

"Fine Becca then I'll just leave."

"Ugh, let me get Jake."

"No I'm fine I can do it myself."

"You're drunk, Bella sit down."

"I'm fine. JAKE!" he looked at me and started walking to me. I turned and started walking to the exit. By the time they had caught up I was almost to the door and he grabbed my hand.

"Let go!" I pushed him back and I was the only thing that moved. I fell back as he let go and I hit my head on a table. As everything went black I felt something heavy fall on top of me.
