Travis: I'll check the bar area.

Shelby: She isn't there.

Travis: Well, she isn't in the chapel.

Presley: Where is Edward?

Shelby: No idea.

Travis: You guys left her alone with him. WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?

Shelby: NOT NOW, TRAVIS!

Travis: Does the phrase accessory to murder mean anything to you?

Presley: I do not look good in orange.

Presley: Can you imagine me in jail? I'm going to be someone's bitch.

Shelby: Get over yourself for a minute and focus.

Travis: You guys had one job. ONE.

Shelby: How do I remove someone from this chat?

Me: I'm fine. I left, and he was alive.

The phone rings in my hand, and I see it's Shelby, but I press decline.

Shelby: Did you seriously just fucking decline me? Well, if that doesn't scream fuck off, I don't know what does.

Me: I need some time to think.

Presley: You have two hundred people waiting for you to walk down the aisle.

Me: The wedding is off.

Travis: Shocker.

Me: Can you handle it?

Shelby: What choice do we have?

Travis: I'm not telling Mom.

Presley: Are you okay?

Travis: I'm fine. I'm just not telling Mom.

Presley: I wasn't asking you, idiot. I was asking Clarabella!

Me: I'm the least bit fine, but I'll be okay. FYI, WE HATE HIM, AND HE'S A FUCKING LIAR!

Travis: It's like the family is cursed for weddings. Presley, I'm not coming to your first wedding.

Presley: AS IF AFTER WATCHING THE TRAIN WRECK OF MY FAMILY TRYING TO GET MARRIED, I WOULD EVEN ATTEMPT IT! FUCK THAT SHIT. SINGLE WOLF FOR LIFE.

Travis: You really think you are wolf status?

Shelby: Meeting in the bridal suite now.

Presley: Shit, Edward just walked into the chapel and told everyone the wedding is off.

Travis: Well, the good news, he's alive. Bad news, I think I hear Mom screaming.

I put my phone down and put my head back. "Do you want to tell me what happened?"

I look over at him. "I need a drink,” I tell the truth. "Not just a small shot, like the whole bottle."

"I don't think I have any white wine with me." He smirks at me, and I want to throat punch him, but instead, I flip him the bird and turn to look out the window, the sound of him laughing irritating me. The last thing I need is for him to pull over and dump me in the middle of nowhere. My head spins around and around as the trees pass by faster and faster while the phone vibrates in my lap.

Presley: Well, that was fun.

Shelby: If that was fun, I would hate to know what you find is really fun.

Me: How did it go?

Travis: Mom freaked out.

Me: Is she okay?

Travis: She will be okay. Harlow is with her, and I saw her take a shot of some sweet tea.

Shelby: FYI, he called you a runaway bride.

Me: Well, once a pencil dick, always a pencil dick.

Travis: I just threw up in my mouth.

Presley: It could be worse. People were comparing you to Julia Roberts.

Shelby: I love her.

Me: Could be so much worse. What happened with Mom?

Travis: She was in shock. I have to say, after the first two, I don't know why she's surprised.

Shelby: Edward's parents told her that they are going to sue you for emotional distress.

Me: WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?

Presley: Oh, wait, it gets better.

Shelby: Mom told them to fuck off and that they weren't leaving until they settled their tab.

Me: WHAT?

Travis: Then she looked at me and told me to tell them to suck my dick since she didn't have one.

Presley: SHE IS MY HERO.

Me: Is she okay?

Shelby: Yes.

Presley: Yes.

Travis: Absolutely not.

Shelby: TRAVIS, WHAT THE FUCK? CAN SOMEONE KICK HIM OUT?

Travis: Hey, you try talking Mom down off the ledge for the second time. Do you know what she said? She has to wear black for the rest of her life to sacrifice herself for her daughters. She even mentioned a hat and veil.

Presley: It wasn’t that bad.

Shelby: I hear glass smashing.

Travis: Oh, fuck, code black.

Me: What the hell is going on? What the hell is code black?

I look down at the phone, waiting to see if they answer. My body shakes with nerves now. Maybe walking away wasn't the best thing to do. Maybe I should have stayed and faced the music. At least told them the truth as to why I left instead of taking all the shit that was going to come my way.

Me: Hello?

Presley: Edward wanted to talk to Mom and explain himself.

Me: Why did glass break?

Travis: HE HAS A CHILD?????? WTF? WHY WOULD YOU NOT TELL ME THIS DETAIL?

Shelby: I was busy.

Presley: It was a secret.

Travis: HARLOW STEPPED IN FRONT OF MOM AND USED HER PREGNANT BODY AS A SHEILD.

Presley: OH MY GOD, SHE'S PREGNANT? WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US?

Travis: I was busy. It was a secret.

Shelby: Petty much?

Only my family would come in and make this whole thing about them. Forget that I ran away from my wedding. Forget that now I'll probably be labeled as the runaway bride. Forget everything except their drama. I look down at the phone, waiting to see the three dots. "Not to interrupt you,” Luke says, "but you have about ten minutes until you lose service."
