Found Another Way

i stared at the woman sticking her arm around mine. she looked tired; not like her young self. her smile was real as ever, and it was huge.

" what are you doing here?" "what, i can't walk my daughter down the aisle on her wedding day?" she's got to be kidding. i look forward at my dad, and he was just eyeing mikey as if he never knew him. my dad taught me bass to learn songs and become like mikey.

it's probably for the reason its been months since he's seen me and all of a sudden im getting married.

im getting married.

it finally starts to sink in as i hear dad say " who gives this woman away to this man..."

i tuned out almost everything about the ceremony and sort of just stare at mikey with vacant eyes. i tune back in when i hear dad say " Blanca, do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband?"

shit, im supposed to say something. " sure." i hear people laugh and realize i said sure to mikey fucking way. this doesn't throw my dad off, but instead makes him question me.

"why? because he caught me when i fell off of my high horse. he brought me the moon, made me shine like a star, and revolved his entire universe around my existence. i may never be able to bring him sunshine on cloudy days, but i do know this: mikey, i will love you like it's the only thing i know how to do correctly."

it's dead silent for like 10 seconds, and finally mikey responds.

" blanca, you are the reason i wake up every morning. i fought your demons, my demons, and just regular monsters to get to a princess like you. i did everything, literally ,everything for you. for god sake's i made out with ray just to get you back!!!"

everyone looks at da- ray as he bows his head in shame mumbling 'his idea'. i laugh at his awkwardness and just focus on mikey.

" Blanca, if i were to die tomorrow, i would die happy knowing i lived my happily ever after. if you were to die tomorrow, i would pray to god so our messages can still be sent to each other. father perez, you really want to know if i'll take her as my wife? here's your answer."

he pulls me in and kisses me gently, then slowly dips me as i hear dad finish up the ceremony. when i get back up, i see gerard and the guys behind instruments playing to the end. god, i love my family.

*****************************************************************************************************
back at the house, people are congratulating me and mikey on finally getting together. its a fun party, and just as i was getting happy i see them: my parents

"you finally want to tell me how you found me?" i give them attitude considering this is our first contact in months. " when you got adopted, we got a call from don giving us the address and background. we left you in good hands so we didn't want to bother you. yesterday i got a call from ray asking if we can come to city hall- first, he explained everything. we freaked out a bit over this (dad motions to me and mikey in disgust) but agreed to be here for you."

"wow. well, thank you for coming.they have been great parents, and i finally have brothers and sisters. im happy here."

"oh..."

"oh? what do you mean oh?!" moms face sort of turned red when i confronted her, and i don't know why i was getting angry.

"well, we just wanted to ask you if you wanted to come back and live with us instead."

oh. that's why
