Potatoe: Thank you, I really enjoyed writing it. Thank you for the review.

CBloom2: I like writing Ethan angry and upset, I'm not sure why. Thank you for the review.

Probably the shorest wedding service I've ever written, I didn't want to do a long one as I know it would take me ages to write.

Lastly, I'm sorry for any spelling or grammar mistakes you may find while reading this chapter, I'm getting used to my new laptop and although I have Word on it, I'm still copying and pasting the chapters.

Second update of the day. I proofread this, but only quickly.


The Secret Life Of Casualty.

Chapter 101.

She was scared, scared of committing to the one man who truly got her. Zoe Hanna stood in her hotel room with her 3- best friends: Jessica Harrison, Samantha Nicholls and Kirsty Clemants.

Kirsty poured them all glasses of champagne.

she raised her glass in the air as did the other two girls and said "To Zoe!"

"To Zoe!" Sam and Jessica replied as they all clinked glasses.

"Cheers girls" Zoe replied with a laugh, as she took a swig of the expensive champagne; Krugg Private Cuvee.

Soon, it was time for her to slip in to her dress.

The dress was strapless with spaghetti straps, Kirsty curled Zoe's hair, while she put her feet in a pair of white pumps (white heels for the reception. )

Jessica handed her, her bouquet of flowers, they were a mixture of white and light pink flowers.


Across, town Max was with: Ethan, Cal, Lofty, Big Mac and Noël. He was hours away from marrying his bride; Zoe.

Suddenly, the grooms phone beeped with a text. Max picked it up, unlocked it and read the text.

'Hey, sexy. Enjoyed last night, wanna hook up again?"

With horror, Max realised, that this was the woman, he had hooked up with on his stag night. So, far he had not told any of the lads about his betrayal, but he just hoped that Zoe wouldn't find out as he knew what she would do to him, if she did.

"Ready mate?" Cal asked, pulling Max out of his thoughts.

"Lets go " He said, picking up his jacket as he deleted the message from his phone.


As Zoe got in to the wedding car, butterflies in her stomach, she sat back and watched the world go by.

Her phone suddenly beeped with a text, she thought it was from Max, telling her that he loved her and that he would see her when she got to the church.

"You don't know me, but my name is Eliza Wilson, I met your husband - to be on his stag do, and while drunk, he took me back to his room and we had sex'

Zoe felt sick. "Stop the car!" She ordered the driver. When, the car stopped, she hopped out and threw up behind a bush. She wiped her mouth with the back of her hand.

Zoe had a plan. She was going to go through with the wedding, but not become his wife.

"Are you ok?" Jessica asked, standing beside her.

"Yeah" Zoe responded as she headed back to the car. She smoothed down her dress, opening the door.


As "Here Comes The Bride" started up, Zoe began her walk on Charlie's arm, Charlie was like her dad as her bridesmaids walked behind her.

"Standing as you do now, in the presence of God and these witnesses, do you covenant to take each other as husband and wife, and agree to live together as God's ordiance and the laws of the land degree?"

"I do " Max beamed at Zoe as he put the ring on her third finger on her left hand, just above her engagement one.

"I... can't " Zoe faltered as she turned and looked at Max.

Behind her, she heard gasps from her friends as she ran from the church.

Max ran after her.

"Zoe wait!" Max yelled as he ran down the alsie.


Zoe was stood outside the church, her hands kept clutching at her dress, as mascara tears streamed down her cheeks, she was devastated by Max's betrayal, she never did imagine that he would cheat.

"Leave me alone Max " Zoe said, turning to face him.

"It was a mistake" Max said. "I'm sorry"

She raised her head and did what she never thought she would, she slapped Max across the face.

"I deserved that" He said as Robyn and Lofty came out, Robyn had been disappointed that Zoe hadn't chosen her, but she felt closer to the 3 girls that she had chosen.

Zoe knew what she had to do. Lifting her hand, she took off her engagement ring and wedding ring and put them in his hand.

She took a step forward as her bridesmaids followed her out, all concerned.


Locking herself in he hotel room, Zoe almost ripped her dress in her haste to get it off. She threw her pumps across the room, watching as they hit the wall. She let her bouquet fall to the floor. She walked in to the bathroom and splashed some cold water on her face, she looked in to the mirror and sighed, she was back to being a single lady. She put on a pair of jeans and a polar neck jumper. She stepped out of the bathroom and chucked her clothes in to a suitcase. She needed to get out of here. She scribbled a quick note to Max and then left, leaving behind her rings.


Max headed to her room and found that she was gone, only an envelope with "Max" on the front. He unfolded it and started to read.

"Max,

I thought you were the one for me.

I remember the moment, I laid eyes on you, you had asked me for a lighter and I found you funny, smart and attractive.

From, then on, we snuck time together, whenever we could and my love for you grew.

The day you asked me to be your wife, there was no doubt about it, the answer was yes.

Until today.

Goodbye Max "

She had signed the letter 'Zoe Hanna' She should have 'Zoe Walker ' by now.

As, he finished reading, he folded it up as a knock sounded.

Zoe. He thought to himself as he opened the door.

Cal was standing there, hands in pockets, chewing gum.

"What do you want, Cal?" Max snapped, his main focus was finding Zoe.

Cal scuffed his feet. "Wanted to know if you were alright?"

"I need to find Zoe "

Cal sighed. "She's gone Max."

"What?" The porter asked.

"Her cars gone"


Zoe had requested that her bridesmaids leave her and let her be in peace. Kirsty and Sam had obeyed but Jessica didn't want to leave her friend when she was in a vulnerable state.

"Sure you'll be OK?" She asked

Zoe nodded, she was already drunk. "Yeahh " She slurred. "I don't need a mann "

Jessica let the door shut behind her. She walked over to Kirsty and whispered.

"She's not OK "


Max had reached the girls by now, as Lofty had let slip what hotel they were staying in.

"Where is she?"

"She doesn't want to see you, Max " Said Sam.

"Let me talk to her "

"No "

As, all the girls were busy arguing with Max, they were unaware that Zoe had drunken herself in to stupidity.


"This is Zoë Hanna, 41, suspected alcohol poising. GSC 2. BP 60/ 90. Sats 86% " Revealed Sam as the stretcher was wheeled in to the hospital.

Sam inserted a tube down her throat, while Kirsty set up an IV, Sam a catheter and pumped her stomach.

A few hours later, she was moved to cubicles and found Max by her beside. Jessica was the nurse monitoring her.

"Leave me alone" She told him.

"Please" Max asked.

"Max, we are over " She sighed, she was tired.

Max left.

Jessica took her pulse.

Zoe offered her a weak smile. She owed Kirsty, Jessica and Sam for saving her life.


Really liked writing this one. Thanks for reading.
