Becoming unbroken
Chapter 1
As I walk up that aisle on that day that is supposed to be the best of a girls life, the day that I am dreading, I glare at my soon to be husband. 'I hate him. I absolutely hate him. Wait why am I even getting married to this bastard?' I think as I step onto the raised platform infront of most of our friends and family. 'Why am I condemning myself to a life that might as well be considered a living hell? I shouldn't be getting married I'm only 19, well 20 tomorrow...' The world is slowing down around me, what the hell is happening? All the sudden the world speeds up. Just loud enough for everyone in the silent wedding hall to hear I muttered, "Fuck this I'm leaving!" And sprinted out the door. I ran for about 5 blocks, the most I could considering I was wearing heels.
'Wait,' I think
'Lola, what have you gotten yourself into! Your wearing a wedding dress, you have no place to stay! No money with you! No change of clothes, your parents probably hate you now for abandoning that bastard at the alter! What was I thinking?!'
I let out a huge sigh and continued walking, I might as well find somewhere to call someone.. Somehow I have managed to wander into a neighborhood I have never seen before. All the houses around me have no lights on or are too secluded by trees to be able to see. Finally, after what seems like forever i see a modern style house with a few lights on inside.
"Here goes nothing" I mutter as I trudge up the path to the front door.
*ding dong*
I can hear a muffled conversation approaching the door.
"Hello?" A woman with blonde hair and black streaks says after opening the door.
"Hi, I'm really sorry if I'm bothering you but could I use your phone? I know it's late and this is really weird and I understand if you want me to leave." I respond mumbling the last part..
The woman opens her door all the way and welcomes me in and responds, "Oh, sure. Yes you can. Are you ok.. Uh.."
"Lola, ya I'm ok I just.. Never mind I don't want to be a burden." I say quietly.
"Lola, it's fine. Come in and why don't you talk to me. I'm just wondering, why are you in a wedding dress?" The nice girl asks while leading me into her home and motioning to a couch.
"Oh, I kinda just ran away from my wedding." I say to her, I didn't realize until then that I had tears on my face, or that it was that cold outside.
"Hey, will you tell me what happened? But I think we should get you cleaned up first." I open my mouth to tell her not to but I get cut off. "I know you will object, but I insist."
"Thank you.. Um I didn't get your name?"
"Right sorry, I'm Sammi. Why don't you take off those painful looking heels first while I go grab some clothes from my closet."
She leaves down a hallway and comes back with some sweatpants, a tee shirt and a sports bra.
"Here go get changed in that bathroom and I'm going to make you some tea."
"Thank you." I say before going to the bathroom and changing quickly.
When I return with my ruined wedding dress in hand she just points to a table and I set it there. Sammi pats the place on the sofa next to her and hands me a mug of tea.
"Lola, will you explain to me what happened?" Her tone is cautiously curious, I feel bad but start my story anyways.
"So today I was supposed to marry the guy I dated in highschool for a few years, he proposed to me at a graduation party. I honestly was going to break up with him but I was drunk and said yes." I started to feel tears come in my eyes and I just took a deep breath and got them to go away. "sorry, so after he proposed I was too scared of what my friends and family would say if I broke it off... I kept procrastinating and then tonight came and I just ran when I got to the alter. Sammi, I honestly don't know what to do now because everyone I know was there; my parents are probably furious with me." Then, my eyes defied me and started to leak tears.
I looked at Sammi to see what she would say, I feel like such a burden already.
Suddenly she wraps me into a comforting hug and tells me, "it's going to be ok.." She cooed and held me there until I stop crying.
Sammi looked at me with genuine compassion and sadness in her eyes and started to speak.
"Lola, I want you to stay with me here. If that's alright with you, it's just me for a few more weeks. And I have an extra bedroom that is empty."
"No, Sammi I couldn't do that, you have helped me enough already.."
"Lola I want you to."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes." She stated firmly and looks at me for my answer
"Ok, thank you!"
I hug her tightly and we chat for a little bit more about where I would stay and about jobs. Until her phone started ringing.
"Sorry Lola, I have to take this."
She got up and walked into her kitchen.
I am so lucky to have found Sammi.
'Wait,' I think
'Lola, what have you gotten yourself into! Your wearing a wedding dress, you have no place to stay! No money with you! No change of clothes, your parents probably hate you now for abandoning that bastard at the alter! What was I thinking?!'
