Cold, Empty Mattresses And Falling Stars

*Cassidy's POV*
-The day of the Wedding-

I woke up at 9am to a note on my pillow from Mike, reading:

"Good morning princess,
Yes I fed Fig before I left and yes I left you a stack of pancakes. I am at Vic's right now with everyone, I miss you already, also I may have left you an early wedding present downstairs on the kitchen table. I can't wait to make you mine, officially. You are a wonderful and spectacular persona and I feel lucky each and every other day just to have you in my life. I'll see you at the alter babe.

I love you,
Mike x"

I couldn't help but grin at how cute he was, as I tried to move off the bed I realized I couldn't without making Fig fall and hurt herself as she was laying on me, "Fig, baby, you're going to have to move" I sighed clapping her gently which only made it worse as she got cuter and sleepier, "Treat!! Who wants a treat!!?" I called out loudly, suddenly Fig shot up and looked at me with her ears perked up, "Would you like a treat?" I asked in a dog/baby voice, I saw her getting more happier and excited as I kept mentioning the word treat, "Come on then!" I smiled as I jumped up and headed downstairs, it was chilly so I pulled on my cardigan which was on the back of the sofa, when I entered the kitchen there was a pink polka dotted box on the table beside a stack of pancakes, I quickly ripped a small piece of pancake off one of them and ate it as I opened the box, inside it was a picture in a frame, the picture was a selfie of Mike and I on our first date at the park after we got our Starbucks, I laughed a little as I thought back to that day and all the laughs and fun we had, especially when he asked me out on a proper date and I refused until I decided to go especially after Dakota or Delilah or what ever that bitches name was, tried to get on to him, and of course there was the kiss, I sighed before propping it up on it's leg at the back of the frame and poured some maple syrup over my pancake stack and dug in. Ten minutes later, as I was finishing off my tea there was a knock at my door, I looked at the kitchen clock and realized that it was probably Tamara as she said she would be over at 9:45/10:00am ish, I got up and walked to the front door before opening it, my eyes immediately went wide when I saw it was Austin, "Hi" he said awkwardly trying not to stare at me but his eyes kept flicking up and down, "Uh hi, come in" I said quickly before pulling my cardigan closed and crossing my arms, "Take a seat and give me a sec" I smiled before running upstairs and finding a dress to throw on.

Fig followed me back down the stairs, as soon as Austin saw him he went off his head, it was like he had never seen a dog before, "Oh my god!! When did you get a dog? What's it's name? Can I keep it?" He asked picking it up and cuddling it close to him, "We got her a couple weeks ago, her name is Fig" I smiled, "Aww she's adorable! Aren't you just adorable" he said changing from is normal voice to a puppy voice, "Anyway, why are you here?" I asked, he looked at me and his expression completely changed, he quickly put Fig down and cleared his throat as he dug his hands in his pockets nervously and looked at the floor, "Austin?" I asked cautiously, he looked up at me with big sad eyes and smiled weakly, "Please, don't get married" he said quietly, "What?" I laughed in disbelief, "I know it's your wedding day but please, don't do this. I can give you everything, I promise, just come to Florida with me" he said sighing at the end, "Austin, are you crazy??" I asked laughing a little, when I got no reply I crossed my arms and started walking to the kitchen, I heard him swiftly following me, "But he doesn't love you, not like I do" he argued, "Austin, please don't do this, not today, not now" I said as I switched the kettle on an turned to look at him, "Just, just come to Florida with me, it-" he said but stopped when he saw Mike and I's selfie, I could see the anger and sadness build up in his eyes but he kept himself together, "Please" he begged getting closer to me, before I could object he quickly put his hand behind my head and clashed our lips together, I swiftly pushed him off me and looked down at my feet, "I think you should leave" I said quietly, "Just think about it, okay" he smiled before kissing my cheek quickly and leaving, before I had time to gather my thoughts Tamara arrived with her dress and mine in one hand and two white boxes with 8 cupcakes in each, in the other hand.
