The Achy, Breaky Heart!

Chapter 3

The limo pulls into the curb at the St Mary's Catholic Church. The bridesmaids and I climb out of the limo. Gina follows closely. The photographer takes photos of us. We walk to the entrance of the church.

Dad is standing by the doors. He kisses me. "I love you, Samantha. Thank you for showing up."

I pull away from the old man.

The girls are noticing how shitty my family really are. My parents care about making their little princess happy. I've always been the last person they cared about.

A song plays and the bridesmaids make their way down the alter to the groom and the Groomsmen.

Oh, shit! Maddox Colt is the Best Man.

I freeze halfway down the alter when my eyes clash with the Number One Football player in Los Angeles. His sea blue eyes are boring into me. He winks at me.

On foot in front of the other Sam. Take your eyes off the hot football player.

I walks the remainder of the way to the wedding party.

"Here comes the bride,

all slutty and wide,

She's taken my man,

And made him hers,

I wish she'd fall and die."

A couple bridesmaids are laughing.

I turn to them. "Did I say that out loud?"

"Yeah, you did."

I look over at Kayne and he has a scowl on his face.

Yeah, buddy. That's the way I feel about being here watching you marry my sister.

I put a smile on face as Gina makes it to the priest in one piece.

The priest blubbers on and I tune him out. I pick at my fingers and look around at all the fools that came to the church I was supposed to get married in. I look at Jesus on the cross above our heads.

I don't want to witness their kiss.

Then I hear the dreaded words. "You may kiss the bride."

I run out of the church and throw up close to the doors.

People start slowly pouring out of the Church. Peyton and Madeleine are the first of my friends to walk out of the church.

Madeleine pulls me into a hug. "I couldn't of planned what you did any better."

Peyton laughs. "Kayne and Gina are furious. Maddox Colt looks un-fucking-believably-yummy in that tux. I want to take him home with me. But, I can't."

I look at Peyton. "Why can't you take Mr Footballer home?"

Madeleine laughs. "Are you blind? He only has eyes for you."

I shake my head. "I'm not blind. No, he doesn't."

Peyton whispers. "I saw the way you acted to him when he was staring at you when you were coming down the alter. You froze. When you freeze like that, it means that your eye-fucking him. He's not the first guy to catch your attention that way either."

I smile. "I'm going to be selfish tonight and go after what I want."

Peyton laughs. "Is that Maddox Colt?"

I nod. "Yeah, one night should do it right?"

Madeleine laughs. "You can't be satisfied by one night with that guy. You'd need more."

Maddox Colt walks out the door with his cousin and my sister right behind him.

The bridesmaids and groomsmen climb into the limousine. Gina pours a glass of champagne for us. The guys all have bottles of beer. I hold a bottle of water for my sister. The girls and I take our flutes from Gina. I give her the bottle of water.

The limo pulls over and we get photos close to the Hollywood sign.

Two hours later...

We are finally on our way to the reception. I look out the window as we drive to the winery that I booked for the reception.

Tears start to prick my eyes as we get closer to the winery. "Can you pull over." I yell.

The limo driver pulls over and I scramble out of the limo. I find a place and vomit.

What is wrong with me?

Gina steps out of the limo. "What's your fucking problem?"

I vomit again.

I shake my head. "I can't help being sick, Gina. Maybe, I'm pregnant? After all, we broke up two months ago."

"You're jealous, Samantha, admit it."

I laugh. "This wedding was planned. I was going to Marry that piece of shit. Congrats, Gina. Enjoy the prick."

Madeleine steps out of the car. "Let's walk to the reception."

Madeleine and I start walking to the winery. The limo drives past us. A couple minutes later a car is driving toward us. It comes to a stop in front of us.

Maddox pulls the window down. "Hey, beautiful. I couldn't allow to girls like you to walk to the winery alone."

I laugh. "At least your nothing like your cousin."

He shakes his head. "I'm not a prick. But, you deserved better than what those two did to you. If this is what you planned for the wedding with Kayne. I can't wait to see what you come up with when the right guy comes along."

I laugh. "There's no right guy for me."

"Get in the car. I'll show you what the right guy can do."

Madeleine open the door to the backseat.

Looks like I'm up front with the hot football player.

At the reception the food is being served. There's a spare seat at the wedding party table. I'm not going to sit with them. I've had enough being polite to so many fake people.

Maddox takes my hand. "Do you want to eat outside?"

I nod.

Maddox and I take our food outside. Madeleine and Peyton join us at the table.

"This is the rebel table." Peyton says.

I laugh. "Are you going to get in trouble by your Aunt and Uncle?"

Maddox shakes his head. "No! Aunt Lena asked me to get you. She told me that we'd make a cute couple."

"Do you always listen to your aunt?"

"No, never."

I laugh. "Good, I'm glad you did and picked us up."

He smiles. "I'm glad I did too."

It's time for the wedding dance. Maddox takes my hand and leads me inside. He pulls me against his hard chest. I burry my face against him.

He whispers. "Let's dance."

Maddox takes my hand and we move around the floor. His eyes shine in the light, he has a day old stubble on his face. I touch his face. He pulls me closer and we make-out on the dance floor in front of everyone.

My problems are washed away with this one kiss.

Maddox and I slowly pulls away from each other. "Let's get out of here."

I shake my head. "We can leave in five minutes. I want to see the fireworks.

Maddox looks confused. "Fireworks?"

I nod.

Everyone's phones start going off at once. People are opening the video. I pull out my fake phone and click on the video and it's my voice. "Hello, everyone, my name is Samantha Black. Today was supposed to be my wedding day to the prick Kayne Waterhouse. The Church, this place, the limo were all set up by me. This was supposed to be mine and Kayne's day. Instead two months ago, I came home from work and found my fiancée in bed with my sister. They told me they were fucking pregnant. My life turned to shit that day. Here's to the Shit Sandwich Wedding."

The phones shock everyone holding it. I watch as phones fall and break onto the floor.

I laugh. "Let's get the hell out of here."
