Third Person POVBrianna stood before the girls...Her baby bump was all she could think of. It made picking out a dress harder than she thought. There was no way she was going to postpone the wedding now. Not when it was just a few months away.Jake had taken the task of giving her the dream wedding she wanted. Whatever it took, no matter the cost. He just wanted her to remember that day as one of the most precious, romantic, unforgettable nights of their life.She had already tried on three gowns, but they were either too tight on her belly or just didn't quite suit her.Evelyn tried to calm her down to no avail. It's not like she was a bridezilla, but more that she wanted that perfect dress to make the perfect impression on him.While it was true, once she walked down that aisle, all eyes would be on her... but she only thought walking down was the beginning of her happily ever after with the man she was deeply in love with. Her best friend, and soon-to-be husband.She had explained
Third Person POVBrianna stood before the body-length mirror. Her hair floods down beautifully in loose curls. Evelyn tried to pin her veil delicately on the back of her head.She shivered with nervousness. Her eyes threatened to become glossy, as she tried to fight back the uncontrollable urge to shake her whole body. The pit of her stomach feeling butterflies mixed with the sudden kicks from her little one was not the best combination at this time."Hold still will you?" Evey glared annoyingly at her."I know... I know I'm sorry. I'm just so nervous right now Evey. What if he gets cold feet? What if he says no in the end? Or what if he never even makes it to the""Stop it Brie!... you're getting way ahead of yourself. He'll be there.... waiting for you to make your way down the aisle." Carissa reassured her.She makes her way to her, her little tiny baby girl Zoe wrapped in a cute fuzzy lavender blanket.She could hear as she walks to Brianna. Brianna's gaze softens as she takes the
Ten Years LaterBrianna's POVI have been incredibly busy and nervous today. Aiden just turned ten years old.....TEN! Can you believe that?Why are my babies growing up so fast? My baby girl Emily just turned eight herself in late August. For a while when I was pregnant with her, I thought she was going to be born on my birthday. But, she was born a week after mine, on the twenty-first.Though their birthdays are not the reason why I am completely nervous. But rather because Jake has something planned for us this weekend, doesn't want to tell me, and I am now preparing Aiden and Emily's bags to travel with Grandma Loretta and Grandpa Phill to California to visit their godparents, Aunt Evey and Uncle Matt.They have never traveled anywhere without me or Daddy... So that makes me so nervous. On top of that, Jake told me to pack warm clothes and nothing more. Saying he'd take care of the rest.I make my way to the living room, bags in hand. "Ok Loretta, please... Make sure Aiden eats and

✨✨Jake✨✨It's been almost three years since my best friend Brianna moved away to California. We were inseparable, did everything, and went everywhere together.She was one of the only people I was ever willing to open up to and be myself with. We went our separate ways when we graduated high school. She attends USC, and I'm attending MTSU- or Middle Tennessee State University.I have one year to graduate, along with my buddies Jeremy and Matthew. The three of us come from the same town, Lakeview. A small quiet countryside town. Most folks there have been living there from generation to generation.My family and Brie's included.I've been playing football here since my first year. We got recruited when we were in high school. I get scolded by the coach all the time. He and everyone always say I have a big temper and need to work on it. I really just don't have the patience for anyone's stupidities and their bullshit. I took up boxing a bit after Brie left for college. It helped me chan
Jake's POVI have been working out like crazy since she left back to California. She came to see me for my birthday and since our birthdays are only three weeks apart, I got to have her here for her birthday this year too.she stayed here for a whole month, she came a week before my birthday and left a few days after her birthday.That particular event a few days after her birthday keeps playing in my head over and over. Call me stupid if you'd like, but I have never been the kind to like sleeping around with every girl that comes my way. I can't, most times, I can control my urges...but not when the right girl has been in front of my eyes all this time and I'm too much of a chicken to tell her the truth of how I feel.I have been keeping myself busy at my dad's ranch working nonstop so she's not in my mind. I figured the busier I am, the less time I have to think of her, it's just hard not to.Everything around here reminds me of her, the whole damn town reminds me of her. God, I'm lo
Matthew's POVIt's our senior year of college, and we have been practicing like crazy all of July and August before school starts. The coach was pissed that I took off and went on vacation with my mom and her boyfriend Phillip in the middle of our practice time. I missed half of the practice this summer. He threatened to bench me in the first games; luckily, Jake spoke up for me, making the coach give me another chance. He really listens to him.We're in the week before school starts. Honestly, school starts tomorrow; Jake and I realized yesterday we haven't even bought anything for school. So we decided to go today to get our supplies. If it weren't for my mom and Jake's mom, who made us sign up for our classes during summer break, we'd be in trouble now, trying to get spots in style. We did that last year, and it wasn't pretty. We got stuck with a shitty schedule. I'm usually pretty good at getting up early, but today I got up really late. Practice was kicking our ass this year. The
Brianna's POVI loved calling my brother, it always helped when I've had a long stressful day. He just always seemed to know what to say or do to brighten my spirit.With his cute smile, showing off his dimples, he reminds me so much of my grandpa back home. He hates it when I tell him he looks like a younger version of Matt Bomer, he always says "Matt Bomer's got nothing on me, I am way hotter!" Lol.I've been crazy busy lately. I don't like having a messy place to live in, so I've been really busy tidying up the place I'll be staying in. Luckily, I have dad and Olivia helping me out, and of course my beautiful nana, Tammy.My goal is to go into business with my dad and own my own
