*Hey guys  I’m sorry it’s been taking me so long to update. I’m currently deployed but should be returning soon and I thought I’d update since I have t updated in so long. If your still reading this after so long, thank you for being so patient with me.* *Marissa*     I woke up the next morning to see my mom wandering around the room frantically. I stretched out on the bed and let out a loud yawn. I watched my mom stop and look at me before speaking.     “Thank goodness your up, sweet pea.” she said. “We over slept, honey. You need to get up and quickly go take your shower so we can blow dry your hair and have it ready for the stylist when they come in a hour.”     “A hour?!?!” I half screamed back.     I shot up out of bed and started running around my room looking for my clothes and grabbing things I would need for my shower.     “I know. I know. We slept too long. I have to get ready for my shower as well, but I needed to make sure you were awake before I went to try and take care of myself.” my mom told me.     “It’s okay mom. You should have just woken me up.” I told her.     “Well look who’s finally awake.”      I froze and slowly glanced at the door to see my step-father standing there watching me. His eyes told me that he was furious for not going to him again last night and I knew that I would not be okay if I was to be in the same room with him without my mother.     “Leave her alone, my love.” my mother told him as she walked over to wrap her arms around him. “She had a long and exciting day yesterday. She deserved to sleep in.”     My step-father smiled down at her before speaking. “I suppose she did, babe. Now what is this I hear about you needing a shower?”     I watched as he lifted her up bridal-style and walked out of my room laughing while heading down to their room. I quickly rushed to my bedroom door before closing it and locking it, preventing him from reentering if he did not shower with my mother. I grabbed my shower stuff before rushing into the bathroom and locking the door. I started the shower and quickly climbed in, rushing to scrub every inch of my body before turning to my hair. Once I was done, I grabbed my hair dryer and started working on drying my hair. Within 30 minutes, my hair was fully dried and combed. I threw my tank top and shorts on before leaving the bathroom to make my way downstairs.     Upon entering the kitchen, I noticed my mom and step-father were not there which meant they were probably still in the shower. I felt myself shiver as I tried not to imagine what inappropriate things they were doing. I grabbed myself a bowl and some cereal and sat down at the table. After a few moments, I heard someone start coming down the stairs. My mother walked into the room wrapped in a robe with her face flushed indicating what type of activities she was doing beforehand.      “I got a text for the make-up artists and the hair stylist. They should be here any minute.” she told me.     “Okay. Where are they going to want us?” I asked her.     “I’m pretty sure in my bathroom since it is the biggest one for the both of us.”     Just as she said that, there was a knock at the front door.     “I got it.” said Larry.     He went and opened the door and let in a small; group of females with a few males.     “Good morning, beta. My name is Carlos and this is my group.” said one of the men shaking my step-fathers hand. “We are here to help get your wife and step-daughter ready.”     “Where would you like us?” asked my mother. “My bathroom is the biggest and could easily fit us all in there. It also has great lighting.”     “That would work splendidly, ma’am.” said Carlos.     We all walked up to my parents bedroom and helped get them set up. They had us sit down and got started right away. My step-father hung out with us for a while before leaving but he made sure to come check in on us and tell them if he thought they needed to change anything. Once they were down, the men left so the females could help my mom and me into our dresses.      My mom’s dress was a beautiful emerald color and complimented her body very nicely. As they continued to help me get into my dress, I watched my mom smile at me before waking out the door. She came back a few minutes later with my locket. After they finished, my mom put the necklace on me and placed a dainty tiara in my hair.     “There. Now you look ready.” she told me with a smile on her face.     “You both look so beautiful.” said Larry who was leaning against the doorframe while the ladies rushed out.      “Well don’t you look dashing dear.” said my mom to him as she walked over and gave him a kiss.     I looked away feeling disgusted again before looking at them again. My mom had her back to me and was looking away from my step-father’s face so she could not see the hungry look he was giving me as he eyed my body. I looked down at the ground and slowly started walking towards the door.     “When are we leaving?” I asked my mom as I got closer.     “Right now.” she replied. “It’s a three hour drive and it starts at 7 this evening. I don’t want to be late.”     “The limo is already at the front door awaiting you ladies.” my step-father told her.      As we started out the door, my mom insisted on going ahead of me so she could take pictures. I embarrassed started my descent down the stairs while my mom feverishly took pictures. Soon we were all out the door and sitting in the limo. I pulled my phone out of my dress and put on my AirPods looking for a song. I soon settled with Lovely by Billie Ellis and Khalid before leaning my head against the chair and closing my eyes.
