My Outlaw
Laura’s Wedding
“Can you believe this?” Sammie, Ella and I were all in the room getting ready for Laura’s wedding with Andy. (Their outfits: http://www.polyvore.com/lauras_bridal_party_outfits/set?id=103958767 ) Sammie was the one talking. “Two weddings in one week.” She turned to me. “What were you guys thinking?” I laughed.
“It took everything I had to get it this far from mine. She wanted a double wedding. But then I pointed out I wouldn’t be able to be her Maid of Honor. When I pointed this out, she wanted it to be the next day. I told her how about next week. It went on like this. I still don’t agree to having it today, but it is her day huh?” They nodded. We continued to get ready. I looked at the time and smiled. “Time for me to go see the woman of the hour!” I left the room, and went to check on Laura. She was in her dress, already to go except for her hair and makeup. I started on the check list. “Something old?”
“The dress.”
“Something new?”
“The shoes.”
“Something borrowed?”
“Sammie’s bracelet.”
“Something blue?” She showed me a ribbon.
“I want to put it in my hair.” I nodded.
“Why is the dress old?”
“It…it was my moms.” She started to cry. I went over and hugged her.
“There there. Shush now. It’s OK. She is in a better place, remember?” Her mom had died when we had moved out a couple of years ago. She had breast cancer. “She isn’t in pain anymore.”
“I-I-I-I wanted her to be here!”
“She is here. She is with you right now. Laura, you should be happy today. Your mom is happy when you are happy, remember that.” When she tried to run to the bathroom (she has been clean ten years now), I did the last thing I could. I locked the bathroom door, and then called for the one person I knew could help. “ANDY!” I hugged Laura again, and then heard him step towards the door.
“Wha-oh. Laura. What’s wrong? Laura? Honey?” He came over and took my spot. I quickly filled him in.
“It was her mom’s dress. Her mom died a couple of years ago from breast cancer. It still hurts her to think about it. Her and her mom were very close. I couldn’t think of anything else to help. It most likely is worse now, because it is her wedding day. Don’t let her near the bathroom. If she has to use it, call me.” He nodded, and then started to whisper something to her. I walked out, letting them have their space. The girls were waiting for me.
“Is she OK?” Ella looked really worried.
“Yeah. She is wearing her mom’s dress.” I filled them in. By the time I was done, we were all crying.
“That is really sad.” I nodded. I looked at the time. I had exactly a half an hour. I walked into Laura’s room. Andy was gone, and Laura was doing her hair. I shoved her into a seat and took over.
*25 minutes later*
I tried not to laugh as I put the final touches on.
‘OFFICALLY Belongs to Biersack’. For the last five minutes, I pretended to fix her hair. My cue played.
“There. Done.” I ran out the room. “Look in the mirror and tell me how you like it!” I ran out of the room.
“AMARIE!” I laughed. Payback is a bitch Laura. I got there just in time.
“What did you do to Laura?” Ella whispered.
“Let’s just say, paybacks a bitch.” The girls and I laughed silently. I had my phone hidden in my bouquet. Laura, as it turned out, took a picture of my nice little face paint, and posted it on Twitter. My turn. While Andy was saying his vows to her, I took the picture. I would post it with the rest later.

“WHO LET CC HAVE ANOTHER MONSTER!?”
“Calm down, Jinxx. It’s OK. Right guys?” The guys nodded while CC ran around them in circles.
“YEAH JINXX! LIVE A LITTLE! WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHO-HOOOOOOOH!” Now he was dancing.
“What is that thing the fans call Jinxx?” Ashley whispered.
“Momma Jinxx,” I whispered back.
“Fits him perfectly.” We shook with silent laughter. Then they cut the cake. Andy took a small piece and smeared it over her mouth and nose, and she smeared hers on his lips like lipstick. He puckered up, and she laughed. Soon, the party was over and we all headed home. I was dead tired, mostly because the guys and I had tried to get a Monster from CC at the end, but failed. Let’s just say, it took a little while to get him into the car. As soon as our heads hit the pillow, we were out. Ashley before me, but I fell into the darkness soon after.
