Chapter Fifteen – Stella

If I said the day was torturous, I would be lying.

It was worse than torturous. It was downright awful. It was the worst day of my life, I could honestly say. Spending time with my mother and sister, not to mention two of her best friends, was not something I ever wanted to do. I was a loner, deep down. No, not even deep down. Everyone who knew me knew I didn’t like to socialize, knew I hated small talk and gossip.

Then again, most everyone who knew me, stayed away from me because they thought I was weird, so there was that. Eventually everyone got past the uniqueness of my eyes once they realized I wasn’t like other people, didn’t laugh at their stupid jokes.

Sometime during the day, I got a text from Edward telling me to call him when I was home. I didn’t bother responding, because I knew my mother would say something. Ask who it was, lean over to see for herself without asking my permission. Margaret was just that kind of person. Petty. Annoying. Haughty. A little bit racist.

I zoned out for most of the day after I was measured. That was all they needed me there for, wasn’t it? But mother wouldn’t drive me home until everyone else was measured, until all the details about the dresses were hammered out. My mother did make the comment that when the dress was ready, maybe I could come with my date to pick it up so she wouldn’t have to waste her time doing all that driving again.

I knew what her words meant, deep down. I was a waste of time to her. Everything involving me was a waste. Margaret would’ve been happier with just Bree as a daughter.

During the long drive back to my house, my mother was busy chatting to herself about how gorgeous Bree was going to be on her wedding day. How the hair stylist was going to do her hair. Some kind of braid with flowers and a veil. I was sure she’d be the picture-perfect bride, perfect in every way. I’d look like nothing beside her.

Doing my best to tune my mother out, it was only when she repeated herself that I zoned back into the conversation. “I said, Stella, I hope your date has a suit. He can’t show up in jeans and a T-shirt. It’s a wedding, not a frat party.”

I had no idea why my mother thought I knew what frat parties were. If anything, her precious Bree was the one who’d been to parties like that. She was the one who liked to drink, who went out and partied. I had always stayed in my room while I was in college. My mother should know by now I wasn’t the type for needless socializing.

“He’ll have a suit,” I said. Honestly, I didn’t know if Edward or Lincoln had a suit, but they could get one. Rent one. Something. Or maybe I could just get Lincoln to go in his police uniform.
