Las Vegas

He stood at the end of the alter looking confused. Not a sound was made from the audience, not that anyone wasn't screaming inside. Every single eye in the room was wide and searching for the exit but no feet were moving, just the eyes. The tension was thick and suffocating all around. All the flowers, hearts, and doves made it seem unreal. It was the perfect and magical room that was droned in love. So how was it that when love was surrounding everyone, the mood felt horrible depressing?
Even the pianist had been given a break from the groom, and now in front of all these strangers was a lonely woman standing only twenty feet away from the minister.
"What is going-" Summer didn't have to finish the sentence, she already knew what was going on. He had backed out and left her at the alter.
"Why- What should I do?" Tears grew inside her green hazel eyes, but she wiped them away. She was not going to let anyone see her cry, not a bunch of woman and men about to get married.
"How could he." It came out as a whisper when it was only suppose to come as a thought that no one else heard.
Summer looked around to see mostly teen pregnancies and drunks. And then there was her, a twenty-two head strong woman standing alone, no one standing waiting to take her head for marriage.
They had been together for almost four years. David was Twenty-four and had promised Summer marriage, of course everyone wanted to make a huge deal of the famous actor David Hurt getting married to a nobody. It had been all over the tabloids, it took them six months to get Summer's name right. But Summer and David didn't believe in huge weddings so they had planned to elope without a word of it getting out. But at last minute(literally) another woman had met David a French model known world wide. And that couple sounded a lot better to David than him and a nobody.
Summer ran out of the chapel in the white wedding dress she had saved two paychecks in buying. A cab was waved down as black massacre ran down the sides of her cheeks. Before she could get used to the Arabic drivers thick accent she was at Hotel Zest, a pricey hotel that David had rented for the occasion. Luckily for Summer the paparazzi hadn't got news of the elopement so no one was crowding around ready for pictures.
She ran to the elevator, and pressed the thirty-second floor button continuous making sure no one else joined the elevator, telling them there was no room. This caused her to look like a bitch being that no one knew what had just happened.
Just wanting to throw off the dress and lay in bed and let out every feeling she had in her. And of course wanting to rip apart every belonging of David's as soon as possible. The thought finally hit her.
"What if David is already here, and has kicked me out?" Summer thought out loud again.
As the elevator stopped on the last floor, Summer ran all the way to the last room on the right and stood in horror to see a sticky note.
"Enjoy your stay. -D"
"That son of a bitch!" Summer screamed at the top of her lungs not thinking of the 100s that may be staying in rooms near by. She went to grab her key card when it hit her, she didn't have the card, she was in a ridiculous wedding dress. "For God's sake!" Again she screamed.
She smacked her head against the door and slid down, as she hit the door, it opened with grace. This action made her cry.
Summer didn't even make it to the bed as soon as she crawled on the floor she kicked the door closed and cried.
The sun shinned through the window hitting Summer in the face. Her tears on the make-up made her eyes hard to open. It was not the sun in the face of the crust enclosing on her eyes, it was the annoying phone ring that awoke Summer.
She rolled around on the ground as she finally got to the end table and answered the phone.
"What!" Summer was bitter.
"Hmm. Yes, Miss Banks is it?" His voice was thick and strong.
"Yea."
"It is check out time."
"Of course it is." Summer looked around the room half asleep, it was a mess. Her clothes were all over the place with her make-up.
"Are you staying another night?"
"Who is the card under?" She had an evil plan.
"It is under your name, that's how I knew it was you." He talked slow as if she was slow in the head.
"That cock sucker." Summer sighed.
"Excuse me?" He sounded hurt.
"Fuck me sideway with a mother hacksaw." The phrase made no sense to either the man on the phone or Summer, it was just when she looked in her wallet which was on the end table she found she didn't have her credit cards.
Before Summer ran off with David she figured that she wouldn't need money because of his wealth so she had cancelled all cards.
"I have no money." She said it more to herself than to the phone.
"Then you are leaving?"
"Shit! I have no money!" It finally hit her, she had no money to make it home.
As she talked to the owner she found herself taking a job waiting tables in the bar. She had free home but she could only keep 10% of her tips and had to desize her room. It was going to take a while to get home she thought as she hung up.
"What a great wedding." Summer cried again on the soft bed.

Kimberlynn winced as the sun came through the window of the hotel room. She felt a slight chill run up her spine when she suddenly realized she was naked and in bed with someone else. Her eyes fluttered open and she looked at the handsomely rugged man laying next to him. She smiled andthought "wow best one night stand.ever. She smiled and then noticed the man woke up and smiled "oh hello beautiful' he said in a thick country drawl a shiver of pleasure ran down her spine as she turned over "hi" she said and he kissed her "mmmm my beautiful red headed wife" she looked at him and gasped "what?"

She had a splitting headache as she walked down to the lobby. She founf some paravetamol in her bag and took.a tablet without water like she was meant to. She looked at some hungover but good looking guy he wacked hid head on the wall brhinf him hslf asleep making Lynxx laugh outloud. She smiled as some of her memories from last night came back.felt sick from others...She sat down on a sofs to stop herself from falling over in hysterics. She stopped laughing fsirly quickly and just dat their examining her hands and arms to check there wasn't any tatoos or rings or anything. Shr was relieved to see there wasn't then she muttered quitely "My life is so Dëjá Vu." She smiled becasuse the paravetamol was kicking reliving a bit of headache pain. After five minutes or so she.was fine and felt sober even.tjough she was hungover. You couldn't tell she was hungover.she looked about nineteen and completely normal. She found her iPod and listenrd to Your Love Is My Drug boredly and loudly.

Summer walked down the to lobby with her hair fixed in a warm yellow, sunday dress, with matching orange sandles, she had only planned to be around David's arm so all her clothes were over the top, making her look like an easy target to rob. Only problem was that she was really the last person to rob, she had no money and no jeawrly to halk.
She looked around to see lots of unhappy people in the lobby. From, angry woman at husbands that had bet years of saving on gambling, hungover men crying in their hands to due the news of a new STD they required from the night before, all the way back to the woman who was left at the alter. Then only thing that made her feel better about herself was the fact that no one was there to see this. except her.
The pain still hung in her chest, how could he have just left her, with no warning or money to get home? The thoughts grew more and more heart breaking.
"I really need a drink." She said.
Summer walked to the double doors to see that the bar didn't open until five.
"Of course." She spoke as she looked at the clock, to see it was only eleven.
"Fuck." Tears slid down her face, but she wiped them off with the back of her hand.

Summer looked over to see a woman that made a funny face as she drank from her water bottle. It was the first thing that made her life, though it was nothing major but just the way she cussed couldn't hold back the laughs any longer. Her laugh was loud and unnecessary which made everyone stare at her, even the fighting couple stared at the woman laughing.
"I'm sorry." She put her arms up and shook her hand. But she couldn't stop laughing, it wasn't even that funny but with the night she had before had been so stressful and pathetic that she just kept laughing louder.
She finally calmed down when the owner came over and put his hand on her shoulder.
He was a six foot four steady man with brown wavy hair that sat on his head, his eyes were a shade of masculine blue. Summer only knew it was the owner because on his tag it said his name, Hamlet Dennis, and David had told her about him.
"Ma'am, will you please, this is a Hotel not a comedy club." Summer just stared he was very handsome.

Kimberlynn was in shock at the diamond ring on her left hand ring finger, then she looked at the man she didnt even know his name yet apparently, he was now her husband. "We got married last night baby" He said in a husky whisper and she blushed "I..I dont remember this" She said and sat up clutching the covers to her body so she could find a shirt or something to put on.

"Well we both were pretty hammered" He laughed sitting up and rubbing the back of his neck watching her stand up and slip on his shirt which came down to her knees. "Umm I'm sorry what's your name again?" she asked and he just chuckled as he noticed her eyes grazing his biceps and abs true muscle from manual labor.

"Check your left hip" He smirked and she lifted the shirt tail up only to gasp again, right there in black swirly cursive said "Tucker's Bride Forever" "Holy SHit!" she said it hurt and she looked at him "Ummm do you..." "Yeah I got one" Tucker said and turned so she could see his shoulder blade that said Kimmi's Groom Forever" she smacked her forehead before plopping down on the bed "Shit what are we gonna do" she said and he just leaned over and kissed her "I know what I wanna do...."

A handsome blonde staggered into the lobby it was who Lynxx kicked out this morning he had found clothes which made her sigh. He walked over to Lynxx trying to impress her again. "Hey babe we got off on the wrong foot this morning let me try again.." He sat next to her and tried to kiss her she let him as she was bored and slightly hungover. His hands were all over her she was clearly letting him being small or not she could easily get rid of him if she wanted. After a few minutes she ran her hand up his spine up to his head her fist closed on a load of hair and she yanked his head back. "Times up..Babe." He moaned in pain. She threw him into the otherside of the sofa. "See you tonight babe?" He asked hopefully. "Sorry sweetheart but this fitty is reserved.".He called her a prositute under his breath and his face met her fist. "Ha you'll be lucky to even get a guy when that bruises." She growled his nose bled she laughed and he stormed off ignorantly.

Summer walked up to her new room, it was nothing like the room she had stayed in the day before. This room was twice as small with one queen bed, and a normal tv, but Summer knew better than to complain it was much better to stay like this than to be sleeping on the streets or hitch hiking. The thought of being out in the world in some truckers passenger seat made her shiver. She began to unpack when all the memories of her and David flowed back into her mind, causing her to be stupid enough to turn on the tv and see the new happy couple, and a big picture of herself alone with a capture underneath saying "Single Summer left at alter" This made all the anger grow to the point of explosion making her scream at the top of her lungs once again.

Tucker rolled over and bumped into something "in bed you aren't supposed to bump into something in bed...unless...HOLY SHIT!" tucker screamed silently in his head as the blotted out and blurry memories from the night before came flooding back into his mind and he sorted through it quickly and got the gist of what had happened and he made a list in his head "i met this cute girl in the bar...her" he looked at Kimberlynn "i got drunk..really drunk...so did she, then we got in my car, we got married, we came here and had sex....holy shit" he looked at Kimberlynn his heart racing as he tried to make up his mind and suddenly the feelings that he had for her came flooding into his mind and he just smiled and laid down next to her and closed his eyes again seeing if he could get some sleep "unless she wakes up...then i think i will have a shit storm on my head" he laid there for only a minute before he heard her move then he opened his eyes and looked into hers "oh hello beautiful" he said then smiled as he saw her visibly shiver and he kissed her softly "mmmm my beautiful redheaded wife" she looked at him and gasped "what?" "oh shit...here we go" he thought and watched her sit up and examine the ring on her finger "We got married last night baby" He said and watched as her cheeks got a tint of red to them as blood rushed to her face "Well we both were pretty hammered" He laughed sitting up and rubbing the back of his neck watching her stand up and slip on his shirt which came down to her knees "there is something about her wearing that shirt that makes me want her even more" he thought to himself "Umm I'm sorry what's your name again?" she asked and he just chuckled "Check your left hip" He smirked and she lifted the shirt tail up only to gasp again right there in black swirly cursive said "Tucker's Bride Forever" "Holy SHIT!" he winced a little when she said that "oh god..please..please dont make her hate me...i..i actually love her...i love her.....i...i love her" he said to himself surprised that he had actually said those words. He had never said to himself or anyone else that he loved them and he smiled a little at this "umm do you have a ..a.." she said and he nodded turning so she could see his shoulder blade with the words "Kimmi's Groom Forever" scrawled across it. he didn't even have to pause to know that he had a tattoo since he recognized the sting from the first one he got on his left arm of his fathers birth and death date with a cowboy hat on top. he looked at her as she sat on the bed again "Shit what are we gonna do?" she asked and he looked at her and smiled and softly kissed her shoulder "i know what i would like to do....." he said with a smile and kissed her shoulder again this time closer to her neck

Kimberlynn looked up at him "okay stop it stop it stop it" She said standing up and spinning around to face him "I dont know you...obviously my drunk side likes you enough to marry you but my sober side doesnt even know my last name anymore" she said trying not to panic. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath "Okay here's what we are going to do...we are going to get to know eachother....I mean go on a date or something of the nature and if we think this can work....maybe we could have a real wedding and try to be sober at it?" she asked as she looked him over she really didnt want to let this one go but man..he stilll was a stranger.

he looked at her as she stood up and talked and he listened carefully and his mind screamed "DO IT YOU MORON!!! YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO BE WITH THE GIRL OF YOUR DREAMS!!! JUST DO IT!" "umm...alright...lets do that...umm...tonight sound good for a date?..i..i can uh drive you home and ill come and pick you up?...or do you need time?...OH!...i'll uhh.." he took his ring off and held his hand out to her for hers "i take it you don't want to wear that...if so thats ok" he looked at her hoping a little that she would want to wear it and want him to wear his but he knew deep down that it was more likely that she would want to not wear them till they actually got married

"Actually I'll wear it, itll keep the guys off of me at work...I'm a dancer" Kim said as she kept the huge rock on her hand and smiled 'how about breakfast" She asked as she looked around for her dress she wore yesterday "but first have you seen my dress?" she asked embarrassed to ask that but looked around frantically for it, it was her favorite white satin with a fifties style swing skirt and a black sash around the waist. Her shoes were her favorite too they were black ballet slippers with black ribbons that laced up the calves. "I need to get dressed" she laughed and pressed her palm to her forehead trying to think where they might be.

he smiled "thank god i have a perfect drunk memory" he hopped out of bed "i remember you telling to just tear it off...but i couldn't do that to such an amazing dress" he said pulling it out of the bottom of the wardrobe along with her shoes and laid them on the bed "you can keep that shirt if you like" he smiled as he pulled on the button up shirt he had on over that shirt the other day and he smiled "right....breakfast..umm...where is a good place for breakfast around here?"

"Oh thanks" Kim said slipping on the shoes and lacing them up. "Umm could you please turn around" she said shyly as she slipped off the shirt she was wearing and quickly put on the dress. "Well the Luxor...where I work has an excellent breakfast buffett but I think somewhere simple would be nice too like IHOP or Denny's" She shrugged "Im not too picky" she said as she took the shiirt and folded it up "Thank you for the shirt i really like it" She giggled shyly ending with a small snort and her face turned bright red at her dorky snort.

he smiled and turned back around and saw her blushing then looked at her holding his shirt and thought "i would not have anyone else holding that shirt other then her" he smiled at this thought then looked at her "your welcome...and...i like Denny's the best out of those two" he said and looked at her in her dress and thought "god shes just as beautiful as she was last night" without realizing that he said it out loud

She blushed and swayed in the skirt a little bit "Thank you...it took me a weeks worth of work to pay for this dress...and now it seems i have spilt red wine down the front of it that or got bled on...did you kill a guy in reno just to watch him die?" She asked with a mock serious face and arms crossed over her chest with a curious eyebrow cocked. "I'm just kidding lets go!" she said holding out a hand for him and smiled ready to go on a first date with her husband "Maybe tonight you can come watch me dance?" she asked grinning up at him as she felt his large calloused hand in her small dainty one it felt good, comforting in a way.

he grasping her hand tightly but then loosened his grip not wanting to hurt her and this he realized that for the first time, that he could remember, holding his wife's hand and he smiled widely at her and then ran out to his truck with her and opened her door for her "mi lady" he said bowing a little letting her climb into the truck that was covered in a fine layer of dirt from the dirt road's he drove on so much

Summer kept her clothes on and since there was nothing left to pack she decided to get something to eat. As she turned off the tv that was fun house mirror, she opened the door without looking, she slammed into a hansom man and a young woman. The deepest of red flew up into her cheeks, it was such a shock that in her crazed fit she believed that it was David and his new woman.
But as she grabbed her head and looked at them once over she had found that they were stranger, she had just rammed into. Summer was so thankful she hugged them both and smiled like a crack pot woman. It wasn't only a minute before Summer realized what kind of crazy person she must have looked like.
"Oh god, I'm so sorry." Summer gripped her hair as she spoke.
"I thought- I mean I didn't- what I'm trying to say is- I am sorry. It's been a rough night." Summer stuttered over her words until she got the right words out. Her stomach growled to make the moment even more awkward for all of them.
As they stared eye-wide she just prayed they weren't the kind to read the tabloids and really begged God not to notice who she was.

Kimberlynn was shocked when she was hugged by some strange woman "I know what you mean" she nodded in agrement when she mentioned it had been a rough night, upon hearing the womans stomache growling she said "we were just heading to breakfast would you like to join us?" she asked looking down at her with a gentle smile and up at her husband and nodded signifying that it was okay. She remembered times where she was hungry and had no money or anything and she wished people had been kind to her so she wished to do for others what others didnt do for her.

It was a weird notion to by two strangers, but she couldn't help but agree. Summer had no money, and with this she couldn't help herself. The thought of not being able to pay didn't even cross Summer's mind. She had been so happy that people were being nice she couldn't help herself again and hugged them again. "I swear I wont do that again." She swung her hands.
As they walked to to the man's truck she watched how sweet the man was, they must have been on their honeymoon, Summer thought, as the man helped the young woman in the truck. And while they drove she noticed how he held her hand, it was like how Summer had planned her and David's honeymoon, only with less pictures and screaming fans.
And at that moment she found herself a little happy that they didn't marry, but then rethinking of it, it made her horribly sad. A
They made it to the restaurant making Summer to cheer up, she didn't want to make things any worse.

i didnt catch your name!" he said as he helped his wife out of the truck and they walked around to the side to meet up with summer

"My name?" It had brought back the memories when David and her started dating.
Four years ago the same question was rose up between twenty people shouting at her. None of them knew who she was, and none of them probably really cared. All that matter was who David was sleeping with, not so much who she was. Summer was hung around David's arm like a scared child. She tried to smile and wave and when the question finally did pop up after four months she was thrilled.
"It's Summer Banks." She said, coming back to the present day. Summer reached out her hand to shake Tucker's. "And yours?"
