Strings of Fate

Megan 5- Will or won’t

I have trouble getting out of bed on my own wedding day. I was up late with Darrien, cleaning up the mess Bellamy made in the kitchen. I think he’s been in his office pretty much all night, although I heard him stomping up the stairs a few minutes ago. I quickly shower and let Lauran in. She is awesome at hair and makeup and agreed to help us get ready today. Only a few minutes after she arrives, Ryan turns up. Early, which is odd for her. Particularly since I know she had a late night. I hug her and immediately drag her into getting ready. She

looks as tired as I feel so Lauran has her work cut out for her.

Hours later, our hair and makeup are done and I’m struggling to button my dress. I call Ryann in to help. She seems to be struggling with something. She looks conflicted and she’s opened her mouth to say something at least three times.now then not gone through with it.

Ry? What is it? It is because of my brother again? He messaged earlier, he’s already headed down to the hall.” I feel bad for making her deal with him and I still feel like their fight is kind of my fault.

“No, for once this has nothing to do with him, well not directly anyway. I… I wanted to tell you something, but I’m worried about how you’re going to react.” Well that doesn’t sound good. She isn’t pulling out of the wedding is she?

“What is it?” We head back into my room and she clutches my hand tightly. I can tell that

she’s shaking and it’s making me even more nervous.

“You shouldn’t get married today.” She blurts out.

“Tristan isn’t your fate. He’s already met the person he’s fated to be with but it isn’t you. The reason your brother bought me here was to try and get more information on him and to confirm what he already suspected because he doesn’t trust Tristan. They’re fated to be

more upset that I’m not… more upset. I think deep down I knew that Tristan isn’t right for me, why else would I be getting so jealous of Ryann and Bellamy, at least I was before they were fighting. No, if anything, I feel relieved. I couldn’t admit it to myself but I’ve wanted to end

wonder why I haven’t asked you about my own thread or

assumed it was because you were already sure of Tristan.” I

last year and a half of my life on a man who isn’t right for me. He is just so perfect, we’ve never fought or yelled at each other. Everything has always been so easy with him.” I sigh. I should have

anything negative about him, until this moment I couldn’t think of a single reason why I might not be in love with him. I’ve been perfectly comfortable.” I collapse backwards into my bed,

good, great even. But comfortable doesn’t challenge me, doesn’t encourage me to be better. I’ve been thinking that never fighting might not be a sign of compatibility but rather a signi that there is no passion, for anything, including each other.” Ryann is staring at

I can’t get married today. It’s going to be hard. I’d be lying if I said I don’t care about him. Ten minutes ago I had every intention of marrying him. I guess I just needed… permission. Permission to change my mind. Or maybe just
