Believe You Me

The tour came and went. We became amazing friends with All Time Low that I personally gave them invitations to the wedding. There were many fans that were happy with my decision on getting married, but others who questioned the idea. I didn’t really want to talk about the subject on the reason; I really didn’t owe them one. Julie could be gone any day and here I was touring and living life. She was at home, going to doctors appointments, arranging the wedding, fixing everything that needed to be fixed, and I was here.

I felt like a bad person, leaving her with all the work and I had all the fun. Once I came back, I apologized to her repeatedly, telling her that she will always be by my side and she wouldn’t have to deal with these things alone. I loved the way she laughed, telling me that she was fine and that I had nothing to worry about. I smiled at her, glad that everything would be back to normal very soon.

Only 6 days until I could finally be legally joined with Julie. I was told by Casey that I couldn’t see the bride until the day of, but I knew he only wanted to spend as much time with her as possible before she moved in with me. I had used a large amount of my money, buying a new house for the both of us and Vic moved in with Jaime, selling our current house. I moved all my stuff into the new house, sleeping in Tony’s spare room for the last week of my non-married life.

My family helped buy furniture while her parents paid for the rest. I wouldn’t be sleeping in the new house until the night of our wedding. I spent the days getting ready for the 21st, trying on my suit again, fixing last minute things with the wedding planner on my time, and mentally preparing myself.

“Do you think she really wants to marry me? I mean, she could have someone so much better and she picks me? Am I really that special?” I began slurring. The four guys were sitting with me in the kitchen and we were drinking like crazy.

“Mike, calm down. Julie loves you okay?” Vic slurred as well.

“She can date me if you aren’t good enough.” Jaime joked, his face slamming into the kitchen table and loud snores coming from him.

“I think, we need more vodka.” Tony grumbled, looking at the empty vodka bottle in his hand, after staring at Jaime.

“More whiskey!” Casey cheered and I cheered together. Vic got another beer and grinned.

“Last round guys, then off to bed.” What a fucking lie that was. We stayed up till 5 in the morning, laughing about stupid things and drawing on Jaime’s face with markers. I remember walking around the house, looking for something or someone but I couldn’t find them.

I woke up the next morning on the counter. The clock on the oven said one in the afternoon and I groaned, seeing the mess of bottles and pizza boxes everywhere. I got off the counter, going to the bathroom and taking a shower. When I got out, I opened a beer, drinking in down in large gulps. I cringed every time it ran down my throat. I sat on counter again, seeing Jaime still passed out on the table. I walked around the house, keeping an eye out for Casey, Tony, and Vic.

Vic was passed out on the tub, a bottle of vodka in his hand. Tony was passed out on his bed and Casey on the stairs, snoring rather loudly. I sighed, deciding to leave them and begin cleaning. I walked back to the kitchen, seeing Jaime washing cups in the sink.

“Morning.” He spoke.

“Morning, and thanks for helping.” I spoke, grabbing a garbage bag and throwing the empty bottles and cans away. Vic soon joined us, followed by Casey and once we finished, Tony.

“My head is pounding.” Tony mumbled, holding his head in his hands.

“Same here.” Casey agreed, standing up. “I’m going with Julie, come on, Tony.” The two left, getting everything ready for tomorrow and we just spend the day watching movies. I wasn’t even listening to the movie, seeing as we were watching Austin Powers. My mind began wandering over to tomorrow and whether this was a good decision. Did Julie even want to marry me? I knew I wanted to, but maybe I was moving too quick. What if she didn’t show up tomorrow and left me standing there waiting for her?

“Mike?” I snapped my head up, seeing Vic looking at me. “Cold feet?” He asked. Jaime paused the movie, looking at me and I nodded, sighing heavily.

“Is this even a good idea? I mean, I want to marry Julie, I really do. But does she want to marry me? Maybe I should wait a while more before moving on to this huge step.”

“Hey bro, everything is going to be fine. If Julie didn’t want to marry you, she wouldn’t be counting the days or even stop talking about it. Julie wants to marry you, she loves you. Maybe this feels like your moving too fast because you just met her 5 months ago. But you both love each other, everything is going to be okay.” Jaime smiled.

“Hime has a point, Mike. Everything is going to be fine. Tomorrow, you’ll be a married man and things will turn out amazing.” Vic grinned.

I look back on times like these and I find myself smiling. These four guys got me through everything and I couldn’t be grateful. I have the best friends that I could ever ask for. I have a huge blessing for the people I find along in life to trust.
