"I'm back." I whispered. "Oh I've missed you so much Ma."

"You know, this day I miss you the most because I feel I'd know exactly how you'd feel right now and all the things you could say. On this day is when I really need to see you, I saw you but you left to early this morning. I haven't even gotten a chance to talk to papa or Ika. But as soon as I get home, I promise I'll tell them. Oh but mom in just a few hours I'll be getting married to him. It's 9pm, and it's pretty clear that I never got my any beauty sleep because I look like an absolute mess."

"There's going to be a lot of people Ma. And somehow it just makes me so afraid. I don't know why because I should be used to it all." I sighed. "My Cinderella day has finally come Ma. I'm about to get married and until this wedding is over, my book isn't yet complete. I've been writing it for a while now and it's finally about to come to an end. It hasn't been what I always pictured but I don't think I would really change anything. I don't know- maybe certain things but not- not every thing. I think it's taught me a bunch and I wouldn't necessarily change stuff, definitely certain things.  But it's been a long journey, a very long journey. And my entire journey will be revealed to the world in just a couple of months." I chuckled and shook my head. "But I hope I'll be happy. That's all I want to be, happy."

I sighed and prepared myself to leave. "Well now, Ms Montez, I've got to go, I know you're not exactly with me  but I know you'll be there. And I just hope I have your support and love in this. I'll always love you, goodbye Ma." I put down the sunflowers and got up to leave.

I gave one last look at her grave and walked away towards the car that I came in. I was met with Damon halfway who was standing not to far away from where I was before. "I'm sorry if I took long." I said. "No, no you didn't. You needed to speak to her, it is your big day."

"About all of that, Damon we haven't talked in over a month."

" I think it was what's best, even if it was hard for me. I don't want you to say anything and neither do I want you to do anything. I want you to marry Aaron, I don't want you to go back and over think things. Even if it kills me, you don't deserve me. All you deserve it to be happily married."

"Damon-"

"Shh," he put a finger on my lip. "No regrets, no over thinking, you need to get home so you can get ready and walk down the aisle."

"I've got hours to do that." I said but in reality, I knew it was gonna take time to get ready. "Eli," he gave me a pointed look and I sighed. "Fine, alright. I know. Let's go." He shut the door to the BMW and walked his way to his side of the car, got in and shut the door and drove off.

The car ride was silent and I was a simply staring at the outside.

I arrived home and the maids all had smiles on their faces because it was the big day. The catering was being finished off so that basically meant that we'd be having no breakfast until the wedding proceeded. I decided to snack on something since my stomach was basically  growling.

I didn't want to feast on anything heavy so I just searched for an easy light weight meal. Not finding anything, because all the catering food were the opposite of what I wanted. I sighed and grabbed some milk from the fridge and some Cornflakes.

The last thing I wanted was to have the colorful breakfast that consisted of fruits and veggies, I just wasn't a fan of the combination.

I put the milk back into the fridge and grabbed a spoon to eat with. When I looked back up, I saw a familiar figure that just made me smile instantly.
