Beth's Point Of view.
It's the day of our wedding and unlike the other brides, I have known and met, I am too calm that one might think I am only a flowergirl. In fact, they are my cousins who also happen to be the maids and Kyle the metron that are nervous. I seat on the couch holding my chick in sadness and my eyes are met with Charlotte one of my cousin maid looking at me with pity filled in her eyes. "You know if there was a thing i could do to help I wouldn't hesitate?" She says approaching me "And i heard the reason Eric broke up with his ex was because he was too abusive," Alison says meeting glares from her sisters "you are not helping" Sharon spits turning to me "look Beth, if you at all feel unwanted and abused just let us know, it's always better to file for a divorce than lose yourself okay?" I nod unsure of what I would be doing while he does funny staff to me. I hope he doesn't be the first one to file for a divorce because just like i assume he does, I as sure as i feel that i won't be letting him have his way with me.
"We don't have all day just get in the car so we can be on our way" Eric says irritated from watching me hug my friends and family goodbyes before driving off for the so called"honey moon". I can't say that the wedding went on so smoothly because i honestly don't remember most of it. Kyle got me some glucose this morning before walking down the aisle and she said it was to make sure that things go smoothly for me and trust me when I say that was the last part I have of my wedding in this memory of mine. I wonder what it is and now i kind off feel like am just coming back to my senses. And now i feel like crying too but i refuse to show that I find it hard to leave everyone behind just for this douchebag.
The car was silent all the way to the airport and no one even dared to stare at the other because we honestly weren't in the moods to have that first ugly fight. We reach the airport and am surprised that Ezra was with us "What are you doing here?" I question. "Well for starters I am working in canada but not where you guys are having your honeymoon from. It was my wedding gift to you guys. You will see it once you reach but I left my pregnant girlfriend alone so that's why I cant spend more time this side. "Ohh I mouth "Thanks then. At Least we shall have some company on our flight" I send a genuine smile towards him. Who knew that Ezra, the guy who broke all the girls' hearts in the village would settle and even take responsibility.
We get in and get ourselves comfortable. Eric has been surprisingly silent and I don't want to even know what he is thinking about because that would be one less problem. We are asked to fasten our belts and am already getting nervous as this is my first time on a plane. "Are you okay" Ezra asks noticing my heavy breathing and i nod nervously. "Wait, have you ever boarded a plane?" he asks and I reply nodding my head no. "Oh really"? Eric intervenes now interested in the conversation like we have been singing lullabies all the while. I look at him widening my eyes abit." Is there something I should be worried about"? I ask" not really after all we are here with you." Ezra comforts but I am met with Eric's serious look" seriously, there are a lot of things like the plane crushing, or....." he holds his chin looking up "have you watched snakes on the plane? "Eric" Ezra warns "like for real, we are different people from different parts of the world and travelling for different reasons and you can never tell who could have snitched his pet in or who is a shape shifter so..." I start breaking down with tears and ran to the small entrance I saw a hostess entering "now look, she might cause chaos" I hear Ezra yelling at eric "please we need everyone seated as the plane is about to take off" the hostess says looking at me "I can't, I already want to get off so.." I get cut off by Ezra "that's not happening,we are going with you and we are switching seats so you can seat with me.
we land and am as sleepy as f**k because I didn't even get a single minute of sleep because I might die unknowingly. We get the same cab as Ezra as we were to drop him off at his apartment and we proceed to our hotel. I fall face flat on the bed out of exhaustion. Who ever thought airplanes were the best means of transport for longer journeys must have had shares in titanic. Suddenly my thoughts are interrupted when i am lifted off the the bed,I punch his back yelling "put me down you ass" but he keeps moving and drops me on the couch "this will be your bed from now on," is he fuckin kidding me "if you really like it that much then sleep on it and I will take the bed" I yell in his face and that gets me pressed against the wall, "you don't get to raise your damn voice in my face and I can't have you sleeping in the bed I wish to share with other girls that i'll bring in every now and then" he says dangerously close to my ears and turns leaving me to sleep on the damn couch with nothing to cover myself with.
The next morning,I am woken by the irritating noise in the kitchen and I cover my ears not to hear anything but my attention gets caught by hearing my name in the conversation so I decide to eavesdrop. "so once we reach the city centre we hide away from her?I can't wait to watch her face crying for help" one of the voices says laughing. "and that's just the start,wait till I make her swim through the ocean" and I recognise Eric's voice. I don't know why but I feel a pang in my heart. "okay now let's go and prepare before she wakes up" another voice warned and I go back to pretending like I was still sleeping "I hope she gets enough sleep because she is in for a ride" a voice says at the top of my head and I pray that he leaves at this instance before I spit in his face then call it sleep spitting.
"Are you bathing off your sins or something? we have to get going. I hate keeping my friends waiting" I almost yell at him but them remember that I have to play along, I have no idea that he has friends around. "your friends? you didn't tell me that you had friends around" I roll my eyes "oh , I forgot, but now that you know come out" he says leaving the door as I hear his voice disappearing. I pack the the visa carefully in my knicker pocket and decide that I will find a way of fixing the passport in my small bag. After this morning, I devised a way out and the only way i saw was leaving. That's right, desperate situations call for desperate measures.
