So I won't keep you from the story any longer, happy reading! Leave me comments(: 

Chapter Fifty-Seven: 

**Selena's POV:**

“I really love these dresses! Gotta hand it to her she's got amazing taste in fashion. I'm gonna ask her if I can keep it after the wedding, do you think she'll let me?” Lee asked looking at our reflections in the mirror of the dressing room. As promised her and I came all the way down to this bridal shop to be fitted for the dresses we had to wear for the wedding. I shrugged. “Well Lee these dresses have been altered to fit our bodies perfectly, I don't think she'll ask for it back.” I answered. She smiled. “I really can't wait for the wedding. You excited too?” I looked at my reflection in the mirror again before looking at Lee. “Yeah I really am excited and happy for them. After everything that happened and has happened lately I really can't wait to see my parents together and happy. I love them both and they deserve it.” Lee pulled into a hug. “Yeah they do and Selena you really deserve it, even if it's with my loser brother.” I smiled at her and felt tears building in my eyes. Lately I had started crying a lot more often and they weren't always sad or angry ones, some were actually happy, excited, and relieved. I felt so much more free then I ever imagined. It was a great feeling.

“Hey your loser brother has really been amazing through this whole thing, and don't forget that he has saved my life on more then one occasion.” I replied. She nodded. “Yeah but to me he'll always be my loser older brother. Nothing really personal it's just a sibling thing.” We both smiled. “Sometimes I really wish I had siblings or even just one. I don't count those kids my dad has with that blonde bimbo.” She gave me a sad smile. “Sorry Sel but hey your parents can still have a baby, they are still young enough.” I shrugged. “As wonderful as that would be I doubt it. My mom has never said anything about having another child. Dad hasn't mentioned it either.” She frowned. “Sorry, and I'm still getting used to you calling David dad. I remember a time where we were plotting to get rid of him. You never wanted him around. Now you call him Dad. It's a good change though. I'm happy that you and your family are finally happy. Couldn't happen to better people.” I nodded and hugged her again.

Since our dresses still had to be altered some more to fit us we had to leave them at the store when we left to head home. After all we had been here for over two hours. Who knew having a dress fitted could take that long. But Leeann was right the dresses were really incredible. I loved them and my mother's dress. “Any plans for the weekend?” Lee asked while she drove me back home. I still hadn't driven since my accident, doctor's said I could though I just hadn't yet. I grinned. “Yeah I'm going away for the weekend.” “Oh really? Where and do I even have to ask with whom?” I laughed. “Cody and I are going up to the lake for the weekend. We leave Friday after his classes. I really can't wait. We haven't been up there since all of us went and we haven't gotten to have much alone time either.” I answered. “Selena you live together how could you possibly not have any 'alone' time?” I rolled my eyes. “Umm maybe the fact that my parents are normally there 99.9% of the time.” She looked over at me with a strange expression. “Are you saying you still haven't slept together?”

I looked over at her. “Yes Lee I'm saying that even though we sleep in the same bed all we do is sleep. People can do that you know.” She rolled her eyes. “Selena I'm well aware of that. It's just been a long time since you two got together. As close as you two are it's just hard to believe I guess.” I shrugged. “Yeah it's been a few months now, but with everything that has been going on having sex isn't really high on our priority list. It's not like I haven't wanted to or he hasn't, but look who my first was and at this point he's still my only. I just don't wanna mess what me and Cody have up. Sex has a way of changing everything and it's not always a good change. For both of us at this point loving each other has been enough.” I finished. I wasn't lying at all. That was really how I felt and what I thought. “Are you afraid to sleep with my brother?” she asked. I paused thinking about it. I don't think fear was the word to use to describe what I felt about the whole big bad sex issue. It was more of a nervous thing I guess. My first had put me through so much and maybe that's what made me nervous about having sex with Cody.
