"Okay! Let's go back to school!" said Jillian. "We should. We missed the entire morning to go and visit Mr.Cartier. The teachers are probably wondering where we are," agreed Josh. "Alright. Then let's go back. I wonder if Mr.Cartier will be okay..." I muttered. "I'm sure he's fine! The nurse said he was okay, and it might take some time before he wakes up from his coma... But be positive okay? Otherwise you may be punished and he will ne'er wake up!" joked Jillian. "Jillian!" said Josh. "It was only a joke. Of course he's going to wake up! Otherwise Katherine will have to marry Lyle in three days!" Sh*t... I had totally forgotten... again. It was only three days until the wedding, and I had occasionally passed by the hall it was going to be in. My mother was working hard on the decorating and making sure everything was going the way she planned. She had measured me beforehand a few months back so I was sure she had chosen a dress already... But I wasn't ready... not in the slightest. "It's nothing I can back out of..." I whispered. "Did you say something?" asked Jillian. I smiled at her. "No. I didn't." I hated lying but I didn't want to get them involved in any way on this. She smiled back and turned to talk to Josh. I frowned. I was back to being lonely again... I hated this feeling... It was like being the only person living on the planet... no one noticed you... no one felt what you felt... It hurt so much. "Are you alright?" asked Josh. "I'm perfectly fine!" I snapped. "Do I not look fine or something?!" I barked and I quickly turned away from the two of them. "I'm sorry... It was just a question. I didn't mean to make you mad," he apologized. "I'm sorry too..." I whispered. I watched as he exchanged confused looks with Jillian. Jillian smiled and then the two of them sandwiched me in between them and they took my hands in theirs. "We love you Katherine. So we want you to be happy, okay?" asked Jillian. "We love you," said Josh and he kissed the top of my head. Tears formed in my eyes and I started to cry. "I love you guys too... Thank you so much for being here with me!" I sobbed and I tightened my grip on their hands.

There was now only one day left... My mother had contacted me and I ha agreed to everything she said. I told her I would be there, and that I was sorry for the pain and trouble I caused her. She said he would forgive me once I was married to Lyle and legally his... "You shouldn't do this!" said Jillian. "You just can't! I won't let you!" she started to get tears in her eyes. "I agree with Jillian. This isn't your best bet. Just wait a bit," said Josh. "But I have no choice. I need to marry him, otherwise I would bring my family dishonor and my family will be hated by society..." "So?" I looked at Jillian. Her head was down and she wouldn't look at me. Her face seemed irritated. "Are you really going to be this selfish and stubborn?!" she demanded. She whipped her head up and looked at me. "How can you choose some man you hate over someone you love with all your heart! To be completely honest... I can't believe you right now! I don't know what I'll say if you go through with this!" she said. "Jillian... Don't..." said Josh quietly. "No. She should understand this. She has no idea what the hell she is getting into and I'm not going to watch her fall apart!" "I'm not going to fall apart," I said. "Fine. But understand me when I tell you... I won't ever want anything to do with you if you go through this!" she shouted at me. She stood up and left the kitchen table. "Jillian... Katherine please... wait a bit longer. I don't want to see you get hurt either," said Josh and he stood up as well and went after Jillian. So this was it. I would lose Jillian and Mr.Cartier if I went through with this, but I would lose my family and my home if I did not. Why was this happening to me...? "I don't know what I should do..." I whispered. "Help me Mackenzie... Please. I need you right now!" I cried. "I need you!" He didn't show. At all. Nor was there any sign telling me something. My only guess was that he wanted me to do what I wanted to do. What I though was right... And I agreed with my heart that marrying Lyle was my best bet, not the right thing. I would marry him tomorrow for my parents sake... and maybe for mine too...
