It was finally here - the day that most girls spend years planning and preparing, waiting for the day true love will sweep them off their feet and whisper those 4 magical words that will lead them to the glorious day of their wedding;

will you marry me

Yes, It was the day of Catherine's wedding - the day she spent years dreaming of had finally come

And all she wanted to do was cry

Not happy tears, mind you. No, definitely not them - How can one be happy, when your marriage was arranged? When you have never even met your husband to be? And now your parents, the people who you thought loved you, are forcing you to live with a complete stranger? She remembered the moment they broke the news to her as if it was only yesterday. Actually, it was a week ago - not a long time to prepare yourself.

She had had just come back from the park, where she had been testing her newly learn't photography skills on the flower garden. She was happy as she walked through the front door, exited to show her dear parents the photos. However, her smile didn't last too long. Her parents, upon hearing her routine call of "I'm home!" summoned her into the lounge room. When her eyes settled on their serious but happy expressions, she knew something was up. "Uh... whatever I did I'm sorry?" She asked hopefully, setting her camera down in the coffee table before flopping down on the sofa. She looked up at her parents, wondering if they would ever explain what on earth was going on, just as her father (George) cleared his throat. "Cathy" He began, "We have something to tell you, something important" At this, he glanced over at her mother (Katrina) who gives him an encouraging nod.

"You're getting married"

It was as if time had slowed down. She felt her mouth open in surprise, and she attempted to formulate words, but they didn't seem to come out. It left her looking much like a fish struggling for air. He was joking - he had to be joking, as there was no other explanation for it. "Haha, yeah right" She began, finally finding her voice. "Very funny dad" She began to chuckle, but that soon died when her parents did not join in. Oh no, this is bad she thought, panic rising inside of her. They aren't joking.
"Oh... my... god. You can't be serious!" She said, her voice rapidly changing from a whisper to a yell as she stood up to continue "Please, tell me you aren't serious!" her parents just look at her, their expressions blank. They were telling the truth. "And what, you just happened to forget to include me in this? I am actually a living, breathing, person, with actual thoughts and feelings - Or did it just not register in your brains?" She was on the verge of crying, but she forced herself not to. She realised her sisters were probably having their midday nap, so she reluctantly forced herself to calm down, taking a few deep breaths before continuing. "So, there is no changing this, is there?" She said, her voice level but her face showing anything but calm. When her parents failed to answer, she continued. "So, who's the lucky guy? Did he get a say too?" She asked "Actually, I don't want to know" and with that, she turned her back and ran into her room, slamming the door behind her.

Over the course of the week, she had learned that her future husband was named Calum - a 19 year old guy with a rich family. And now she was in their house - in their dressing room, to be precise - getting into her wedding dress. She had to admit, it sure was a beautiful thing. Long and white, with lace covering the bodice that also extended to lace sleeves. Oh, and let's not forget the fact that it was hand made. Her future in laws had spared no expense. Right now, she was having to sit in front of a mirror as a makeup artist did her face, and a hairdresser did her eyes. Her stomach was doing flips as her mind reeled with thoughts and questions; What If he doesn't like me? What if I don't like him?
Am I going to be miserable forever?

Today was the biggest day of his life. His marriage. However, he was neither happy nor upset. He wasn't happy that his marriage life and partner was planned out for him, he wasn't happy that he was marrying someone he didn't love, and on top of the list, he wasn't happy that he didn't even know this girl and he was marrying her. But then again, Sebastian wasn't too upset because he was marrying a kind sweet girl, or at least that's what they told him. Emilia. That was her name. Sebastian tried to picture her in front of him, her face, her body feature, her everything. He tried to imagine her standing in front of him, in her wedding dress, but he failed terribly. Sebastian sighed and straightened his tie, getting ready for what seems to be, his miserable future life ahead.

{Victoria Mia Gladden} {Eighteen} {Female} {Open}

Victoria locked herself in her room. Her heart shattered, her tears fell from her sad eyes repeatedly to her torn and tattered wedding dress that was once white and new. She crouched down beside her door and cried her heart out. Today was her wedding day, the day that supposed to be the biggest day of her life, the day every girl dreamed of. But for her, today would be her worse nightmare, her greatest fear, and the day she never dreamed would arrive. This marriage was planned for her from the beginning. She never met this guy, never even spoke to him, she doesn't even know if he'd turn up for the wedding! The whole world came crashing down on her as she felt the weight of the world collapse on her shoulders. Her bridemaids were all outside trying their hardest to be let in, but to no avail. Victoria had locked the doors and shut herself behind these walls of betrayal and anger. All she wishes now was to have Sebastian wrap his arms around her and shield her from the world, just like what he had always been doing ever since they were young. Sebastian would always protect her as her older brother.

Rose Sanders/19/outside/OPEN
Rose walked down her sidewalk thinking about events that had just happened. married... It wasn't even the fact it was arranged. That was how her parents had gotten together, but it was the guy they had picked. A boy she didn't even know. Mom and her had spent girl nights alone giggling about all the cute boys at college and high school, but now they picked one she couldn't even reconize? What were they even thinking?! She couldn't go back on her parents though. "I can do this"

I walk into my house after being out doing random things. I drop my leather jacket on the floor and narrow my eyes as my parents sit in the living room and stare at me. My mother waves a hand for me to come over, her voice quiet as she says "Eric, we need to talk to you." I huff, thinking it is another lecture about fighting. I walk into the living room and fall onto the couch, but, normally, when I fight, they look much angrier.. MY eyes narrow in suspicion and my father clears his throat "This is not about our normal talks, son. This is important, and you need to be quiet and listen to us." I grunt and roll my eyes "Then stop with this cryptic crap and just tell me." I grumble as I rest my elbows onto my knees. At their next words, anger and fury rushes through my body. I immediately shove myself into a standing position "YOU'RE FREAKING MAKING ME GET MARRIED?!?!" I shout. But, I can't. I need to let my anger out. So, without another word, I run downstairs and slam the door locked. I grab my punching bag and I punch for a while. They think they can order me around. Punch. They think they can tell me what to do. Punch. They think i'm going to get married at nineteen. Punch. No. I'm not. I refuse. They can't tell me what to do. This is my life, and not theirs.

I walk around the park with Aiden. I sit on a bench and laugh as he eagerly runs to go and play with his other buddies. I snicker as they chase girls and I shake my head. After about an hour, he is sweaty and exhausted. I wrinkle my nose "Okay, kiddo. Let's get home to mom and dad. You need a serious bath or somethin'." I say with a laugh as I stand. Aiden just nods with a goofy yet tired grin. We walk back to the house in comfortable silence. I open the door and Aiden follows me in. I hear it shut faintly as watch Aiden run off to the bathroom. Good, at least that boy knows how to bathe. I smile to myself until I see my parents standing in the doorway with anxious and nervous expressions. "Georgia, honey..we need to speak to you." MY father says. I just give a small yet curious nod and follow them into the living room. I sit on the couch and prop my feet up on a chair as I look at them and arch my eyebrows. I could never be ready to hear their next words. "Georgia...we have assigned you to be married.." They say together. And that's when my whole world turns upside down. Cue the dramatic music please.

I growl after a while, i'm tired of punching. Physically, not mentally. I look at my fists, they're bruised and bloody. May I mention they're aching too? I wash them before putting an ice pack on each of them for five minutes before wrapping them up and going outside. I lean against my house and grab a cigarette from my pocket. I grab my lighter and light it, shoving it back in my pocket before taking a drag of my cigarette. I watch the smoke as I blow it. It just disappears into air. Hah, wouldn't I love to do that right now, eh?

After she finished her walk, Maddy walked back home. She opened the door to see her mom and dad, sitting on the couch, looking at her with a frown. Confused, she walked up to them. "Honey, please sit down. We need to tell you something." Her father said, as she nodded and sat down on the couch. Please don't say you'll take me to summer camp. Her mother and father looked at eachother and her mother sighed. "You're getting married." Maddy's eyes widened. She laughed a bit. "Real funny mom. Real funny.." But her parents seemed serious since they didn't even smile, or grin. She looked at them for a second. "Wait, you're actually serious?! You're making me marry someone that I don't even know of?!" Her dad sighed. "Yes dear." Maddy looked at them. "You two weren't arranged, so why should I?!" She ran up to her room and slammed the door. She locked it so her mother and father wouldn't come. She laid on her bed, and stuffed her face into a pillow, and started crying.
