What the hell did that mean? Creed turned as the music grew. His eyes widened as he caught sight of mom. But it was Caleb who captured my focus, standing at his father's side.
Caleb, whose gaze seemed to burn right through me.
“Doesn’t she look lovely, Nicky?” The female murmur from my right invaded my mind, tearing me from my brother’s stare.
My pulse sped as I narrowed in on a woman standing next to Nick. She wound her arm through his, pressing her body into his side as she glared at me. I jerked my gaze to his. He looked pissed…and cornered.
“My hope is that one day I’m standing there with you,” she whispered, her stare like a dagger.
Agony plunged through my chest at the words. Fire found my cheeks as she forced a giggle, pressing harder against him. But Nick…Nick just stared at me.
“I’m so glad you invited me,” the bitch continued. “I never thought we’d get back together.”
Get back together…
Panic moved in. I forced my feet to move.
Voices crowded in. But the words were slipping away from me as my world spun out of control.Get back together…GET BACK TOGETHER!
“I’m honored both Creed and Elle have come back to the Order,” the priest’s voice began. “We go back a long way…back to college.”
I tried to swallow the scream. But my senses were heightened, narrowing in on her cruel fucking voice. “Your new sister is weird.”
“Stepsister,” Nick snapped.
“So, without any further ado, let’s move on to the vows,” the priest smiled.
Caleb shifted beside Creed, scowling as his gaze narrowed in on me. He was trying to draw my attention, glancing back at Nick and the woman he was with…the woman he was now back with.I was so stupid, so fucking stupid. What had I thought this was...love?My cheeks burned even hotter as a small tortured sound ripped free from my throat.
My world kept spinning, but it wasn’t the floor or the twinkling lights of the room…it was them.
Tobias.
Nick.
Caleb.
I was such a fucking fool.
“Don’t let us stop you,” Tobias snarled from the front row.
Their focus was like a razor burn on my skin. I felt the graze as the priest started the vows. His voice droned and seconds felt like hours as Nick’s returned girlfriend gushed and whispered, drawing my attention. I couldn’t look away from them, didn’t want to look at the way she clutched his hand and slid her arm along his, knowing all the things we'd done together.
I'd given them my virginity.
My stomach clenched at the thought. I was going to be sick. I was going to ruin mom’s fucking wedding day and be sick all over the goddamn floor in front of everyone.
No…
No, I’m not.
Just hold on.
Just…please.
“Creedence, do you take Eleanor to be your wife?”
Tobias strode across the aisle to stand behind me.
