Gasping for air I leaped out of bed.

what a horrific nightmare! I exclaimed.

Lucille get up right now! Ethan shall be here soon! mother hollered. Yes mother I know I mumble to myself.I open my closet and grab my long silk pink dress,I slip it on and walk towards the mirror,I prefer black i muttered under my breath. Lucille! Ethan- I mean your fiancé is here!mother says in a fake loving tone. I shall be down in a moment! I holler. I quickly make it to the top of the stairway and gracefully walk down towards my fiancé. Hello dear I say softly. Hello Lucille my darling,you look excellent as always Ethan softly exclaims. We have our engagement party at 1:00 this afternoon I hope you remembered he muttered. Of course I remembered! How could I forget my dear! I exclaimed.Ethan’s face had a delightful expression.(it made me sick) I barely know this man and now I am expected to marry him.

Present

We shall go to my family’s main mansion for the party! Ethan exclaimed. Right darling? Ethan asked while squeezing my shoulder. Of course dear! I peeped in fear. I can already see how this marriage is going to be. And I can’t even escape,it’s like a never ending nightmare. Ethan opens the door and signaled me to get into his car. S-Share a car? I stutter. Ethan smiled and leaned over, get into the damn car he whispered in my ear. Chills down my spine I swiftly get into the car. Ethan gets in and tells his driver to go to the mansion. The driver looks terrified, and went to open his mouth,he closes it. He turns on the GPS and looks back at Ethan. Ethan is staring, um Albert do you not remember how to get there? Ethan scoffed. Just drive! he yells. It’s going to be a horrible ride.

We finally arrive at the mansion and get out of the car. Ethan stops me from walking in. I’m terribly sorry for earlier I had a bad day,he used as an excuse. Don’t be sorry dear I say as I make my way into the mansion where it still getting ready. 2 hours until the party and my nerves are getting out of control. (I hate socializing) my knees lock and I lose my breath. I plan to hide during the party anyway.

20 minutes until the party starts and people are already arriving,I don’t even know who’s invited.

but I do hope they’ll just focus on Ethan. He’ll probably make it all about himself anyway.

Lucille! Ethan shouted across the ballroom. Yes dear! I holler. Come here at once Lucille. Ethan shouts. I hurried across the room. What? I asked.

Go up into the guest room and change into the gold dress I got for you,that pink dress you are wearing is horrible. Ethan lectured. But mother picked this dress. I replied. Did you just talk back? He asked. Yes Ethan that’s how a conversation works. I mumbled. Ethan leaned down as if I was a child. You are lucky there are guests outside. He whispers. You will go change.. Ethan demands. I nod my head, I can’t even peep a word like there’s a lump in my throat. I go up to the guest room and grab that hideous gold dress. Ugh this is the worst dress I’ve seen so far.

20 minutes pass and I go back downstairs as guests are entering the house,I don’t know anyone here..Oh wait there’s brother. I mutter to myself. I wonder who’s besides him? He’s really tall

and handsome but he seems familiar. (Hehe exactly my type) brother waved at me as I finally reach the bottom of the staircase. Hello Simon. I cheered. Simon frowns. What is it? I laugh. I’m sorry sister I wish I could’ve done more to stop this engagement. Simon whined. Well what can you do. I shrug. Oh! Simon says with joy. Look who’s back! He signals to the man besides him.

i scrunch my face. Brother I do not know this man.i replied. Simon lets out a big sigh. How can you not remember your first crush. He mumbled disappointingly. (WHATTT) I’m sorry what? I scoffed. The man hold eye cotact with me. Then I realized who Simon meant. Wiliam?! I blurted. (Perhaps a little bit too loud) I cover my mouth and look around. (Shit I got Ethan’s attention) I quickly laugh it off to cover it. I’m sad you don’t remember me Lucy.William stated. (I’m still angry that this bastard left) I prefer Lucille. We aren’t close enough for nicknames.I exclaimed.

Oh? William exclaimed. My apologies Lucille. He replied with a smirk. (That oddly pissed me off) have you been well? I ask. Yes I’ve been well. William replied. (This dude is so dry) from the looks of it you’ve been well? He Interrupted. I glare. (What happened to this dude?? where’s the sweet chubby boy) man what a douche I mumbled. Realizing I said it out loud. I look at Simon. He looks like he’s about to burst out laughing. My eyes go to William. He looks intrigued. I open my mouth thinking of a excuse. Then I hear something hitting on glass. It was Ethan with his parents besides him. (PERFECT EXCUSE even if it’s not good) excuse me my fiance seems to need me, goodbye William.I scoff as I walk away.

Hello dear. I greet Ethan when I finally make it to him. Ah darling! I want you to meet my friends! Ethan exclaimed. I turn to the three guys next to him and smile. Hello I’m Lucille. I rejoiced. Wow Ethan you really bagged a hottie! One of his friends laughs. Ethan laughs too (sounds like a damn hyena). I feel my face getting heated,I look down and I sigh deeply. Ethan noticed. Excuse me gentlemen seems my fiance needs to get some fresh air. He hissed. He grabs my arm and pulls me outside. I don’t care what you’re feeling like right now but you need to get your act together. He scolded. My hands shaking uncontrollably, I put them behind my back. I understand, i mumble. Ethan rolls his eyes and goes back in,finally I can exhale. I dropped to the ground. (My knees gave out..) losing my breath I start panting. “Are you okay?” I hear from a deep voice. I look up, (oh great it’s William,I gotta get up!) I grunt but I can’t get up. I look up at William with a worried expression. M-My legs gave out. I muttered. Would you like some help? He laughed. No i just want to sit here all night! I scoff. Really? He questioned. (DOES HE NOT GET SARCASM?!) I roll my eyes. Just help me up. I demanded. Okay,He smirked. He adjusted my head then grabbed behind my knees. SWOOSH. He lifted me up,I said help me up not pick me up! I hissed. Your legs can’t move,you want me to set you down? He ask while raising a eyebrow. I nod my head. I open the door while still in his arms. The door flung open and suddenly all eyes were on us. (Noooooooo)

Ethan’s face flushed with anger. Whispers went across the room. Where should I put you? William questioned. In the guest room, it’s upstairs. I mumble. We make it up to the top of the stairs and everyone is still staring. (Ohhh am I in for it) I open the guest room door and William closed it when we entered. It was dark but the bright moon lit it up. I grunt as he puts me on the bed. That dress must be difficult to walk in and even breathe. William adds. Yeah it’s horrible. I try to laugh. I reach for the zipper in the back,but I couldn’t reach it. William um can you unzip it? I muttered. He looked surprised but that quickly went away. He sat on the bed, I felt his warm hands move my hair onto my shoulder. He unzipped my dress and I was finally able to breathe! (HURRAYY) but we didn’t move. It was quiet I can hear him breathing. We both just sit there not facing each other. Ethan walks in. (Shit)

His jaw tightens, Lucille what are you doing. Ethan Shouted. W-William here was just helping me and now he’s going down to the party! I explained. There’s no party now! Ethan hollered. William stands up. I’m leaving. He announced in a foggy voice. William walks by Ethan and glances at me. Ethan shuts the door. You’re many things Lucille but I didn’t expect a unfaithful bitch. Ethan blurted. (What should I say????)
