Heaven Help Us

Mikey's POV.
------------------------------------------------------
How could this happen, this whole day seems so horribly surreal. You hear that saying "The happiest day of my life"; and it becomes this subconscious expectation. We find "The One" and then we get married, that's how its suppose to be. It's after you get married you get the happily ever after...THEN the adultery happens...second family...gold digger bullshit fuckall whatever and then things end. This is not suppose to happen, not this way.
I take a deep breath.
I was the best man, I should have done more, checked up on everyone more. I should have done something. FUCK, am I even making any sense. All I can do is stand here and go over this God forsaken day over and over again in my mind. Because in the back of my mind I fucking knew.The day started out fine, great even. We where all getting ready, the guys all had their suits on and where just messing around and then...what did I miss?
Bits and pieces of this morning keep flashing in my memory as I sit here in his glaring sterile waiting room trying to make sense of everything. How can this be the same day let alone the same lifetime?
We where at home playing games.
No we where at the store picking Gerard up some new socks, his only nice pair of socks had a fucking whole in them. Why does that even matter? Ray was at the apartment with Gerard and they where messing around with some songs. We where heading up to the cash register while Frank was checking up on the girls, Lila decided that Gerard and her were not going to have contact for the weekend before the wedding. Which made us the go between and was hilarious for us but made Gerard an anxious mess since he hadn't been away from her or their daughter since Ella's birth.I talked to Lila myself just the day before, she sounded tired, but I thought that was normal. I mean come on she is a mother, bride, and about to become a wife all in a course of six months. We have known her since High School so I knew she could take it, she's always been able to handle herself.
Frank got quiet all of a sudden. I remember looking back at him because I left my wallet in the car and seeing that look on his face. He is such a sweet guy and then in one split second his face just dropped. All I could hear from the other end was yelling, and Frank now panicked saying
"Wait what, I don't understand."
"What the Fuck!"
"What the actual fuck!"
"No one was watching her? She's the fucking bride."
"No no, we will get him and bring him their"
"Let us deal with him, she will be fine."
"No, everything will be alright."
"Everything will be alright." I heard him say to himself as he slid the phone back in his pocket.

His eyes where completely red and my body was shaking. I think I new before he even told me, I just couldn't believe it.
"Something happened to Lila Mikey, we have to go get Gerard."
We both where walking out the store. Me still clutching the red pair of cotton socks and Frank's hands were shaking as he took out a cigarette lighting and inhaling the calming smoke with one practiced movement we race towards the car. He might be small but he's a fast fucking walker when he needs to be.

"What's wrong, people are going to be showing up at the church in an hour."

"Oh fuck the wedding, we have to send Ray to deal with that. It's not happening today."

He takes the phone out of his jacket and begins to text Ray, leaving me clueless and about to get in the passenger seat of Frank's mom's Blue Honda Accord.

"Mikey you really need to drive right now, I don't think I can handle it."

His hands where shaking as the ash fell off of his cigarette and into the cement.
I slid into the drivers side, and Frank flicked the still burning cigarette onto the walkway as he sat into the freezing car.

"What going on?"
