Transcript
00:00He hung up on me. I couldn't help it. I cried. I dialed another number.
00:10Dad, are you and Mom almost here?
00:12Honey, Caroline isn't feeling well. Your mom and I might not make it.
00:15Three days ago, they just found out the truth.
00:17Caroline is the real Winchester daughter.
00:20I'm the one they took home by mistake.
00:22So everyone had chosen her.
00:28I had no time to fall apart.
00:30I wiped my tears, lifted my dress, walked up onto the stage step by step, and grabbed the mic from
00:36the host.
00:42Everyone's so sorry. The groom's busy sleeping with my maid of honor, so he can't make it.
00:46So, is there anyone here willing to marry me today?
00:49Dead silence. Nobody stood up, like they were all just waiting to watch me crash and burn.
00:55Just when I thought today was going to be a total disaster...
00:58I'll marry you.
00:59A tall, handsome man stood up in the crowd. Black suit.
01:04Standing straighter than anyone in the room.
01:06The whole place exploded.
01:08Who is that?
01:10Never seen him. He's not one of us.
01:11He didn't seem to notice the stairs.
01:13He just walked toward me, step by step, and stopped right in front of me.
01:17A new groom? Are you serious about this?
01:20I don't joke about marriage. I looked him dead in the eye.
01:23What's your name?
01:23Marcus Fitzgerald.
01:25Fitzgerald? Wait, the same last name as Felix? I got a little nervous.
01:29Felix? How are you two related?
01:32We're not close. I'm sort of his distant uncle.
01:34I let out a breath.
01:35Okay. Good.
01:37Afraid he'd back out.
01:38I quickly grabbed the men's ring and slid it onto his finger.
01:42Then I handed him mine.
01:45Without hesitating, he leaned down and put it on me.
01:48Everyone froze, staring at us like they couldn't believe it.
01:51I took his arm, turned to face the whole room, and announced it with a smile.
01:54Thank you all for coming today.
01:55I'm making it official.
01:57From this day on, I am Mrs. Fitzgerald.
02:00And I have nothing to do with the Winchester family ever again.
02:04After the wedding, I went back to the Winchester house to pack my things.
02:07As I cut through the garden, I heard moaning coming from behind the trellis.
02:10My eyes went wide.
02:11I followed...
02:24My fiancé cheated on me.
02:25Two minutes before the wedding started, I got a text.
02:28Guess who's in my bed right now?
02:30My hands shook as I opened the video he sent along with it.
02:35It was my fiancé, Felix.
02:37And my maid of honor, Caroline.
02:39The two of them, going at it in my wedding suite.
02:42That bed under Caroline?
02:43I flew to Europe to pick it out myself.
02:45I was so stunned I almost dropped my phone.
02:49Videos can be fake these days.
02:51Don't believe it.
02:52Felix loves you so much.
02:54My makeup artist handed me a tissue.
02:56Right.
02:56He loved me for three years.
02:58He held my hand and swore he'd take care of me for life.
03:00It has to be fake.
03:02I called Felix right away.
03:05Where are you?
03:06The wedding's about to start.
03:08Easy, babe.
03:09I'm busy with something else.
03:10What could be more important than our wedding?
03:15There was a pause.
03:16And then I heard it.
03:17A soft moan.
03:18My best friend's moan.
03:20My heart went colder.
03:21Stop messing around.
03:22Cancel the wedding for now.
03:23And go tell everyone yourself.
03:25He hung up on me.
03:26I couldn't help it.
03:27I cried.
03:28I dialed another number.
03:34Dad, are you and mom almost here?
03:36Honey, Caroline isn't feeling well.

03:47So everyone had chosen her.
03:50I had no time to fall apart.
03:52I wiped my tears.
03:54Lifted my dress.
03:55Walked up onto the stage step by step.
03:57And grabbed the mic from the host.
04:04Everyone's so sorry.
04:05The groom's busy sleeping with my maid of honor, so he can't make it.

05:26After the wedding, I went back to the Winchester house to pack my things.
05:29As I cut through the garden, I heard moaning coming from behind the trellis.
05:32My eyes went wide.
05:33I followed the sound.
05:34On the swing, Caroline had her arms around Felix's neck.
05:37They were kissing.
05:38Flower petals all over them.
05:39The second he saw me, Felix shoved Caroline away.
05:42Abigail, what are you doing back here?
05:43Felix scrambled to his feet, his shirt still unbuttoned.
05:46But Caroline didn't get up.
05:48She stayed on the swing, covering her face, her shoulders shaking as she cried.
05:52Abigail, I'm sorry.
05:53It's all my fault.
05:54I shouldn't have gotten sick and ruined your wedding.
05:57She cried loud.
05:58Loud enough for the whole house to hear.
05:59Sure enough, my mom came hurrying out of the house.
06:02She took one look at me in the garden, then immediately pulled Caroline into her arms.
06:06There, there, don't cry.
06:07Then she turned and glared at me.
06:09Abigail, what did you do to Caroline this time?
06:11I just stood there.
06:12I couldn't get a single word out.
06:14What did I do?
06:15She stole my family.
06:17She stole my fiancé.
06:18But the second she cries, I'm the villain.
06:20I straightened my back and looked around at all of them.
06:23Do you want to know why she really skipped my wedding today?
06:25My mom pointed at me.
06:27Caroline wasn't feeling well.
06:28What are you implying?
06:29She's this sick?
06:31Can't you cut your own sister some slack?
06:34Sick?
06:35I let out a cold laugh, walked into the living room, pulled out a thick stack of papers,
06:39and slammed it down on the table.
06:43See for yourselves.
06:44Show me where exactly she's sick.
06:46My mom hesitated, then opened it.
06:49One page, another page, and another.
06:52Her face went from confused to shocked.
06:54It was every medical report Caroline had from the past few years,
06:57and every single one said healthy, nothing abnormal.
07:00She was never sick.
07:01She'd been faking it for three whole years.
07:04Caroline's face frozen.
07:05She stammered.
07:07Mom, it's not like that.
07:09I-
07:09Enough!
07:10I cut her off.
07:11I don't want to hear another excuse from any of you.
07:13From today on,
07:15this family,
07:16all of you,
07:17I'm done.
07:18We're nothing to each other.
07:19My mom's head snapped up.
07:20What's that supposed to mean?
07:22I announced it loud and clear.
07:23I got married.
07:24Just now.
07:26At that wedding.
07:27The living room went dead silent.
07:29Felix was the first to snap out of it.
07:30He charged forward, furious.
07:32What did you say?
07:33Who did you marry?
07:36I ignored Felix,
07:37grabbed my suitcase,
07:38and headed for the door.
07:39Abigail!
07:40Don't make a joke out of something like marriage!
07:42He roared behind me.
07:43I didn't even turn around.
07:45A joke?
07:46I have never been more serious in my life.
07:48I dragged my suitcase out the front gate,
07:50tears blurring my eyes,
07:51not even wiping them,
07:52until I walked right into a telephone pole.
07:54A hand grabbed my arm and yanked me back.
07:56I looked up.
07:57Marcus?
07:58You-
07:58Why are you still here?
08:00He just looked at me.
08:01Dead serious.
08:02I've been thinking.
08:04There's something more important
08:05we need to take care of first.
08:06Like what?
08:07He took the suitcase from my hand,
08:09put it in the trunk,
08:10and opened the car door.
08:16Going to the courthouse to make it legal.
08:18I froze where I stood.
08:19That wedding back there,
08:20I just wanted someone to save face for me,
08:22out of pure spite.
08:23I hadn't thought about tying the rest of my life
08:25to a stranger I'd known for less than an hour.
08:27What?
08:28Having second thoughts?
08:28He looked at me and raised an eyebrow.
08:30No!
08:30I just didn't expect it to happen this fast.
08:32I don't like wasting time.
08:34He said it so calmly,
08:35and somehow,
08:36I couldn't say no.
08:37I got in the car.
08:39Once we were driving,
08:40it finally hit me
08:41and I started to panic.
08:42I snuck a look at him nice suit.
08:44But the car,
08:45an old beater that had clearly been driven for years,
08:47in this much of a rush to get married.
08:49Either he's broke
08:50or there's something wrong with him,
08:51physically.
08:52My eyes drifted down,
08:53toward his pants.
08:54His hands paused on the wheel
08:55and the car jerked.
08:57What are you thinking about?
08:58Nothing!
08:58I waved my hands fast.
09:00He went quiet for a couple seconds,
09:01then said,
09:02Open the glove box in front of you.
09:04Dazed.
09:05I did it.
09:05Inside was a stack of papers,
09:07folded up neat and tidy.
09:08Take them out.
09:09Look.
09:10I pulled them out.
09:11A medical report.
09:12A full physical.
09:14Every single line said normal.
09:15My face went up in flames.
09:17He stopped at a red light
09:18and turned to give me a little smile.
09:20If you still don't believe me,
09:22you're welcome to check for yourself.
09:24That line put certain images in my head,
09:26and my face went even redder.
09:29No, no, no!
09:29I believe you!
09:30I believe you!
09:31He let out a low laugh.
09:37At the courthouse,
09:38it went so fast it didn't feel real.
09:41Fingerprints,
09:41signatures,
09:42and just like that,
09:43to marriage certificates in hand.
09:46Marcus Fitzgerald,
09:47I read the name off the certificate,
09:48so you're 27?
09:50Mm-hmm.
09:50What, too old for you?
09:51He chuckled.
09:52I shook my head,
09:53blushing.
09:54Five years older than me.
09:55Perfect.
09:56Oh, right.
09:57He said,
09:57looking down at me,
09:58Sirius.
09:59There's something I should tell you up front.
10:01I looked up.
10:03I have a son.
10:04He's six.
10:24My fiancé cheated on me.
10:26Two minutes before the wedding started,
10:27I got a text.
10:28Guess who's in my bed right now?
10:30My hands shook as I opened the video he sent,

15:48I dragged my suitcase out the front gate,
15:50tears blurring my eyes,
15:51not even wiping them
15:52until I walked right into a telephone pole.
15:54A hand grabbed my arm and yanked me back.
15:56I looked up.
15:58Marcus?
15:58You...
15:59Why are you still here?
16:00He just looked at me.
16:01Dead serious.
16:03I've been thinking.
16:04There's something more important
16:05we need to take care of first.
16:07Like what?
16:08He took the suitcase from my hand,
16:09put it in the trunk,
16:10and opened the car door.
16:16Going to the courthouse to make it legal.
16:18I froze where I stood.
16:19That wedding back there,
16:20I just wanted someone to save face for me,
16:22out of pure spite.
16:23I hadn't thought about tying the rest of my life
16:25to a stranger I'd known for less than an hour.
16:27What?
16:28Having second thoughts?
16:29He looked at me and raised an eyebrow.
16:30No!
16:31I just didn't expect it to happen this fast.
16:33I don't like wasting time.
16:34He said it so calmly,
16:35and somehow,
16:37I couldn't say no.
16:38I got in the car.
16:39Once we were driving,
16:41it finally hit me,
16:41and I started to panic.
16:42I snuck a look at him.
16:43Nice suit.
16:44But the car.
16:45An old beater that had clearly been driven for years,
16:47in this much of a rush to get married.
16:49Either he's broke,
16:50or there's something wrong with him,
16:51physically.
16:52My eyes drifted down,
16:53toward his pants.
16:54His hands paused on the wheel,
16:55and the car jerked.
16:57What are you thinking about?
16:58Nothing!
16:59I waved my hands fast.
17:00He went quiet for a couple seconds,
17:02then said,
17:03Open the glove box in front of you.
17:04Dazed.
17:05I did it.
17:06Inside was a stack of papers,
17:07folded up neat and tidy.
17:09Take them out.
17:09Look.
17:10I pulled them out.
17:11A medical report.
17:13A full physical.
17:14Every single line said normal.
17:16My face went up in flames.
17:17He stopped at a red light,
17:19and turned to give me a little smile.
17:21If you still don't believe me,
17:22you're welcome to check for yourself.
17:24That line put certain images in my head,
17:26and my face went even redder.
17:29No, no, no!
17:30I believe you!
17:30I believe you!
17:32He let out a low laugh.
17:38At the courthouse,
17:39it went so fast it didn't feel real.
17:41Fingerprints,
17:42signatures,
17:42and just like that to marriage certificates in hand.
17:47Marcus Fitzgerald,
17:48I read the name off the certificate,
17:49so you're 27?
17:50Mm-hmm.
17:50What, too old for you?
17:51He chuckled.
17:52I shook my head,
17:53blushing.
17:54Five years older than me.
17:56Perfect.
17:56Oh, right.
17:57He said,
17:58looking down at me,
17:59serious.
18:00There's something I should tell you up front.
18:01I looked up.
18:03I have a son.
18:05He's six.
18:24My fiancé cheated on me.
18:26Two minutes before the wedding started,
18:28I got a text.
18:29Guess who's in my bed right now?
18:30My hands shook as I opened the video he sent,
18:32along with it.
18:35It was my fiancé,
18:37Felix,
18:38and my maid of honor,
18:39Caroline.
18:40The two of them,
18:41going at it in my wedding suite.
18:43That bed under Caroline?
18:44I flew to Europe to pick it out myself.
18:46I was so stunned,
18:47I almost dropped my phone.
18:50Videos can be fake these days.
18:51Don't believe it.
18:52Felix loves you so much.
18:54My makeup artist handed me a tissue.
18:56Right.
18:57He loved me for three years.
18:58He held my hand and swore he'd take care of me for life.
19:01It has to be fake.
19:03I called Felix right away.
19:05Where are you?
19:06The wedding's about to start.
19:09Easy, babe.
19:10I'm busy with something else.
19:11What could be more important than our wedding?
19:16There was a pause,
19:17and then I heard it.
19:18A soft moan.
19:19My best friend's moan.
19:20My heart went colder.
19:21Stop messing around.
19:22Cancel the wedding for now,
19:23and go tell everyone yourself.
19:26He hung up on me.
19:27I couldn't help it.
19:28I cried.
19:29I dialed another number.
19:35Dad, are you and Mom almost here?
19:37Honey, Caroline isn't feeling well.
19:39Your mom and I might not make it.
19:40Three days ago,
19:41they just found out the truth.
19:43Caroline is the real Winchester daughter.
19:45I'm the one they took home by mistake.
19:48So everyone had chosen her.
19:51I had no time to fall apart.
19:53I wiped my tears,
19:54lifted my dress,
19:56walked up onto the stage step by step,
19:58and grabbed the mic from the host.
20:04Everyone's so sorry.
20:06The groom's busy sleeping with my maid of honor,
20:07so he can't make it.
20:09So,
20:09is there anyone here willing to marry me today?
20:12Dead silence.
20:13Nobody stood up,
20:14like they were all just waiting to watch me crash and burn.
20:17Just when I thought today was going to be a total disaster,
20:20I'll marry you.
20:21A tall,
20:22handsome man stood up in the crowd.
20:24Black suit.
20:26Standing straighter than anyone in the room.
20:29The whole place exploded.
20:31Who is that?
20:32Never seen him.
20:33He's not one of us.
20:34He didn't seem to notice the stairs.
20:35He just walked toward me,
20:37step by step,
20:38and stopped right in front of me.
20:40A new groom?
20:40Are you serious about this?
20:42I don't joke about marriage.
20:44I looked him dead in the eye.
20:45What's your name?
20:46Marcus Fitzgerald.
20:47Fitzgerald?
20:48Wait,
20:49the same last name as Felix?
20:50I got a little nervous.
20:52Felix?
20:53How are you two related?
20:54We're not close.
20:55I'm sort of his distant uncle.
20:57I let out a breath.
20:58Okay.
20:58Good.
20:59Afraid he'd back out.
21:00I quickly grabbed the men's ring and slid it onto his finger.
21:05Then I handed him mine.
21:08Without hesitating,
21:09he leaned down and put it on me.
21:11Everyone froze.
21:11Staring at us like they couldn't believe it.
21:13I took his arm,
21:14turned to face the whole room,
21:15and announced it with a smile.
21:17Thank you all for coming today.
21:18I'm making it official.
21:19From this day on,
21:21I am Mrs. Fitzgerald.
21:22And I have nothing to do with the Winchester family ever again.
21:26After the wedding,
21:27I went back to the Winchester house to pack my things.
21:29As I cut through the garden,
21:31I heard moaning coming from behind the trellis.
21:33My eyes went wide.
21:34I followed the sound.
21:35On the swing,
21:36Caroline had her arms around Felix's neck.
21:38They were kissing.
21:39Flower petals all over them.
21:40The second he saw me,
21:41Felix shoved Caroline away.
21:42Abigail, what are you doing back here?
21:44Felix scrambled to his feet,
21:45his shirt still unbuttoned.
21:47But Caroline didn't get up.
21:48She stayed on the swing,
21:49covering her face,
21:50her shoulders shaking as she cried.
21:53Abigail, I'm sorry.
21:54It's all my fault.
21:55I shouldn't have gotten sick
21:56and ruined your wedding.
21:57She cried loud,
21:59loud enough for the whole house to hear.
22:00Sure enough,
22:01my mom came hurrying out of the house.
22:03She took one look at me in the garden,
22:04then immediately pulled Caroline into her arms.
22:07There, there, don't cry.
22:08Then she turned and glared at me.
22:10Abigail, what did you do to Caroline this time?
22:12I just stood there.
22:13I couldn't get a single word out.
22:15What did I do?
22:15She stole my family.
22:17She stole my fiancé.
22:19But the second she cries,
22:20I'm the villain.
22:21I straightened my back
22:22and looked around at all of them.
22:24Do you want to know
22:24why she really skipped my wedding today?
22:26My mom pointed at me.
22:27Caroline wasn't feeling well.
22:29What are you implying?
22:30She's this sick?
22:31Can't you cut your own sister some slack?
22:34Sick?
22:35I let out a cold laugh,
22:37walked into the living room,
22:39pulled out a thick stack of papers
22:40and slammed it down on the table.
22:44See for yourselves.
22:45Show me where exactly she's sick.
22:47My mom hesitated,
22:48then opened it.
22:49One page,
22:50another page,
22:51and another.
22:52Her face went from confused to shocked.
22:55It was every medical report Caroline had
22:57from the past few years,
22:58and every single one said healthy,
23:00nothing abnormal.
23:01She was never sick.
23:02She'd been faking it for three whole years.
23:05Caroline's face frozen.
23:06She stammered.
23:07Mom,
23:09it's not like that.
23:10I...
23:10Enough!
23:11I cut her off.
23:11I don't want to hear another excuse
23:13from any of you.
23:14From today on,
23:15this family,
23:16all of you,
23:17I'm done.
23:18We're nothing to each other.
23:19My mom's head snapped up.
23:21What's that supposed to mean?
23:22I announced it loud and clear.
23:24I got married.
23:25Just now.
23:26At that wedding.
23:27The living room went dead silent.
23:29Felix was the first to snap out of it.
23:31He charged forward,
23:32furious.
23:33What did you say?
23:34Who did you marry?
23:36I ignored Felix,
23:38grabbed my suitcase,
23:39and headed for the door.
23:40Abigail,
23:40don't make a joke out of something like marriage!
23:43He roared behind me.
23:44I didn't even turn around.
23:45A joke?
23:46I have never been more serious in my life.
23:49I dragged my suitcase out the front gate,
23:51tears blurring my eyes,
23:52not even wiping them
23:53until I walked right into a telephone pole.
23:55A hand grabbed my arm and yanked me back.
23:57I looked up.
23:58Marcus?
23:59Marcus?
23:59You...
23:59Why are you still here?
24:00He just looked at me,
24:02dead serious.
24:02I've been thinking.
24:04There's something more important we need to take care of first.
24:07Like what?
24:08He took the suitcase from my hand,
24:10put it in the trunk,
24:11and opened the car door.
24:16Going to the courthouse to make it legal.
24:18I froze where I stood.
24:19That wedding back there,
24:20I just wanted someone to save face for me,
24:22out of pure spite.
24:24I hadn't thought about tying the rest of my life
24:25to a stranger I'd known for less than an hour.
24:28What?
24:28Having second thoughts?
24:29He looked at me and raised an eyebrow.
24:30No!
24:31I just didn't expect it to happen this fast.
24:33I don't like wasting time.
24:34He said it so calmly,
24:36and somehow,
24:37I couldn't say no.
24:38I got in the car.
24:40Once we were driving,
24:41it finally hit me,
24:42and I started to panic.
24:43I snuck a look at him,
24:44nice suit.
24:44But the car,
24:45an old beater that had clearly been driven for years,
24:48in this much of a rush to get married.
24:49Either he's broke,
24:50or there's something wrong with him,
24:52physically.
24:52My eyes drifted down,
24:54toward his pants.
24:54His hands paused on the wheel,
24:56and the car jerked.
24:57What are you thinking about?
24:59Nothing!
24:59I waved my hands fast.
25:00He went quiet for a couple seconds,
25:02then said,
25:03Open the glove box in front of you.
25:05Dazed,
25:05I did it.
25:06Inside was a stack of papers,
25:08folded up neat and tidy.
25:09Take them out.
25:10Look.
25:10I pulled them out.
25:12A medical report.
25:13A full physical.
25:14Every single line said normal.
25:16My face went up in flames.
25:18He stopped at a red light,

25:41Fingerprints,

25:54Five years older than me.
25:56Perfect.
25:57Oh, right.
25:58He said,
25:58looking down at me,
25:59serious.
26:00There's something I should tell you up front.
26:02I looked up.
26:03I have a son.
26:05He's six.
26:11He's six.
26:24My fiancé cheated on me.
26:26Two minutes before the wedding started,
26:28I got a text.
26:29Guess who's in my bed right now?

28:51I got a little nervous.
28:52Felix?
28:53How are you two related?
28:54We're not close.
28:55I'm sort of his distant uncle.
28:57I let out a breath.
28:58Okay.
28:59Good.
28:59Afraid he'd back out.
29:01I quickly grabbed the men's ring and slid it onto his finger.
29:05Then I handed him mine.

30:35Sick?
30:36I let out a cold laugh,
30:38walked into the living room,
30:39pulled out a thick stack of papers
30:40and slammed it down on the table.
30:44See for yourselves.
30:45Show me where exactly she's sick.
30:47My mom hesitated,
30:49then opened it.
30:50One page,
30:51another page,
30:52and another.
30:53Her face went from confused to shocked.
30:55It was every medical report Caroline had
30:57from the past few years,
30:58and every single one said healthy,
31:00nothing abnormal.
31:01She was never sick.
31:02She'd been faking it for three whole years.
31:05Caroline's face frozen.
31:06She stammered.
31:08Mom,
31:09it's not like that.
31:10I-
31:10Enough!
31:11I cut her off.
31:12I don't want to hear another excuse
31:13from any of you.
31:14From today on,
31:16this family,
31:17all of you,
31:18I'm done.
31:18We're nothing to each other.
31:20My mom's head snapped up.
31:21What's that supposed to mean?
31:22I announced it loud and clear.
31:24I got married.
31:25Just now.
31:26At that wedding.
31:28The living room went dead silent.
31:29Felix was the first to snap out of it.
31:31He charged forward,
31:33furious.
31:33What did you say?
31:34Who did you marry?
31:37I ignored Felix,
31:38grabbed my suitcase,
31:39and headed for the door.
31:40Abigail!
31:41Don't make a joke out of something like marriage!
31:43He roared behind me.
31:44I didn't even turn around.
31:46A joke?
31:47I have never been more serious in my life.
31:49I dragged my suitcase out the front gate,
31:51tears blurring my eyes,
31:52not even wiping them,
31:53until I walked right into a telephone pole.
31:55A hand grabbed my arm and yanked me back.
31:57I looked up.
31:58Marcus?
31:59You...
31:59Why are you still here?
32:01He just looked at me.
32:02Dead serious.
32:03I've been thinking.
32:05There's something more important you need to take care of first.
32:07Like what?
32:08He took the suitcase from my hand,
32:10put it in the trunk,
32:11and opened the car door.
32:17Going to the courthouse to make it legal.
32:18I froze where I stood.
32:20That wedding back there,
32:21I just wanted someone to save face for me,
32:22out of pure spite.
32:24I hadn't thought about tying the rest of my life
32:26to a stranger I'd known for less than an hour.
32:28What?
32:28Having second thoughts?
32:29He looked at me and raised an eyebrow.
32:31No!
32:31I just didn't expect it to happen this fast.
32:33I don't like wasting time.
32:35He said it so calmly,
32:36and somehow,
32:37I couldn't say no.
32:38I got in the car.
32:40Once we were driving,
32:41it finally hit me,
32:42and I started to panic.
32:43I snuck a look at him,
32:44nice suit.
32:45But the car,
32:45an old beater that had clearly been driven four years,
32:48in this much of a rush to get married.
32:50Either he's broke,
32:51or there's something wrong with him,
32:52physically.
32:53My eyes drifted down,
32:54toward his pants.
32:55His hands paused on the wheel,
32:56and the car jerked.
32:58What are you thinking about?
32:59Nothing!
32:59I waved my hands fast.
33:01He went quiet for a couple seconds,
33:03then said,
33:03Open the glove box in front of you.
33:05Dazed,
33:05I did it.
33:06Inside was a stack of papers,
33:08folded up neat and tidy.
33:09Take them out.
33:10Look.
33:11I pulled them out.
33:12A medical report.
33:13A full physical.
33:14Every single line said normal.
33:16My face went up in flames.
33:18He stopped at a red light,
33:19and turned to give me a little smile.
33:21If you still don't believe me,
33:23you're welcome to check for yourself.
33:25That line put certain images in my head,
33:27and my face went even redder.
33:30No, no, no!
33:30I believe you!
33:31I believe you!
33:32He let out a low laugh.
33:38At the courthouse,
33:39it went so fast it didn't feel real.
33:42Fingerprints,
33:42signatures,
33:43and just like that to marriage certificates in hand.
33:47Marcus Fitzgerald,
33:48I read the name off the certificate,
33:49so you're 27?
33:51Mm-hmm.
33:51What, too old for you?
33:52He chuckled.
33:53I shook my head,
33:54blushing.
33:55Five years older than me.
33:56Perfect.
33:57Oh, right.
33:58He said,
33:59looking down at me,
33:59serious.
34:00There's something I should tell you up front.
34:02I looked up.
34:04I have a son.
34:05He's six.
34:25My fiance cheated on me.
34:27Two minutes before the wedding started,
34:28I got a text.
34:29Guess who's in my bed right now?
34:31My hands shook as I opened the video he sent,
34:33along with it.
34:36It was my fiance,
34:37Felix,
34:38and my maid of honor,
34:40Caroline.
34:40The two of them,
34:42going at it in my wedding suite.
34:43That bed under Caroline?
34:45I flew to Europe to pick it out myself.
34:47I was so stunned I almost dropped my phone.
34:50Videos can be fake these days.
34:52Don't believe it.
34:53Felix loves you so much.
34:55My makeup artist handed me a tissue.
34:57Right.
34:58He loved me for three years.
34:59He held my hand and swore he'd take care of me for life.
35:02It has to be fake.
35:04I called Felix right away.
35:06Where are you?
35:07The wedding's about to start.
35:09Easy, babe.
35:10I'm busy with something else.
35:12What could be more important than our wedding?
35:16There was a pause,
35:17and then I heard it.
35:18A soft moan.
35:19My best friend's moan.
35:21My heart went colder.
35:22Stop messing around.
35:23Cancel the wedding for now,
35:24and go tell everyone yourself.
35:27He hung up on me.
35:28I couldn't help it.
35:29I cried.
35:30I dialed another number.
35:36Dad, are you and Mom almost here?
35:38Honey, Caroline isn't feeling well.
35:39Your mom and I might not make it.
35:41Three days ago,
35:42they'd just found out the truth.
35:43Caroline is the real Winchester daughter.
35:46I'm the one they took home by mistake.
35:48So everyone had chosen her.
35:51I had no time to fall apart.
35:53I wiped my tears,
35:55lifted my dress,
35:56walked up onto the stage step by step,
35:58and grabbed the mic from the host.
36:05Everyone's so sorry.
36:06The groom's busy sleeping with my maid of honor,
36:08so he can't make it.
36:09So,
36:10is there anyone here willing to marry me today?
36:12Dead silence.
36:13Nobody stood up,
36:15like they were all just waiting to watch me crash and burn.
36:18Just when I thought today was going to be a total disaster,
36:21I'll marry you.
36:22A tall, handsome man stood up in the crowd.
36:25Black suit.
36:27Standing straighter than anyone in the room.
36:29The whole place exploded.
36:32Who is that?
36:33Never seen him.
36:33He's not one of us.
36:34He didn't seem to notice the stairs.
36:36He just walked toward me,
36:38step by step,
36:38and stopped right in front of me.
36:40A new groom?
36:41Are you serious about this?
36:43I don't joke about marriage.
36:44I looked him dead in the eye.
36:46What's your name?
36:46Marcus Fitzgerald.
36:48Fitzgerald?
36:49Wait,
36:49the same last name as Felix?
36:51I got a little nervous.
36:52Felix?
36:53How are you two related?
36:55We're not close.
36:56I'm sort of his distant uncle.
36:57I let out a breath.
36:58Okay.
36:59Good.
37:00Afraid he'd back out.
37:01I quickly grabbed the men's ring and slid it onto his finger.
37:05Then I handed him mine.
37:09Without hesitating,
37:10he leaned down and put it on me.
37:11Everyone froze,
37:13staring at us like they couldn't believe it.
37:14I took his arm,
37:15turned to face the whole room,
37:16and announced it with a smile.
37:17Thank you all for coming today.
37:19I'm making it official.
37:20From this day on,
37:21I am Mrs. Fitzgerald.
37:23And I have nothing to do with the Winchester family ever again.
37:27After the wedding,
37:28I went back to the Winchester house to pack my things.
37:30As I cut through the garden,
37:31I heard moaning coming from behind the trellis.
37:33My eyes went wide.
37:34I followed the sound.
37:36On the swing,
37:36Caroline had her arms around Felix's neck.
37:38They were kissing.
37:39Flower petals all over them.
37:41The second he saw me,
37:42Felix shoved Caroline away.
37:43Abigail, what are you doing back here?
37:44Felix scrambled to his feet,
37:46his shirt still unbuttoned.
37:47But Caroline didn't get up.
37:49She stayed on the swing,
37:50covering her face,
37:51her shoulders shaking as she cried.
37:53Abigail, I'm sorry.
37:54It's all my fault.
37:56I shouldn't have gotten sick and ruined your wedding.
37:58She cried loud,
37:59loud enough for the whole house to hear.
38:01Sure enough,
38:01my mom came hurrying out of the house.
38:03She took one look at me in the garden,
38:05then immediately pulled Caroline into her arms.
38:07There, there, don't cry.
38:09Then she turned and glared at me.
38:11Abigail, what did you do to Caroline this time?
38:12I just stood there.
38:14I couldn't get a single word out.
38:15What did I do?
38:16She stole my family.
38:18She stole my fiancé.
38:19But the second she cries,
38:21I'm the villain.
38:22I straightened my back
38:23and looked around at all of them.
38:24Do you want to know
38:25why she really skipped my wedding today?
38:26My mom pointed at me.
38:28Caroline wasn't feeling well.
38:29What are you implying?
38:30She's this sick?
38:32Can't you cut your own sister some slack?
38:35Sick?
38:36I let out a cold laugh,
38:38walked into the living room,
38:39pulled out a thick stack of papers
38:41and slammed it down on the table.
38:44See for yourselves.
38:46Show me where exactly she's sick.
38:48My mom hesitated,
38:49then opened it.
38:50One page,
38:51another page,
38:52and another.
38:53Her face went from confused to shocked.
38:55It was every medical report Caroline had
38:57from the past few years,
38:59and every single one said healthy,
39:01nothing abnormal.
39:02She was never sick.
39:03She'd been faking it for three whole years.
39:05Caroline's face frozen.
39:07She stammered.
39:08Mom,
39:09it's not like that.
39:10I...
39:11Enough!
39:11I cut her off.
39:12I don't want to hear another excuse
39:13from any of you.
39:14From today on,
39:16this family,
39:17all of you,
39:18I'm done.
39:19We're nothing to each other.
39:20My mom's head snapped up.
39:21What's that supposed to mean?
39:23I announced it loud and clear.
39:25I got married.
39:26Just now.
39:27At that wedding.
39:28The living room went dead silent.
39:30Felix was the first to snap out of it.
39:32He charged forward,
39:33furious.
39:34What did you say?
39:35Who did you marry?
39:37I ignored Felix,
39:38grabbed my suitcase,
39:39and headed for the door.
39:40Abigail!
39:41Don't make a joke out of something like marriage!
39:43He roared behind me.
39:44I didn't even turn around.
39:46A joke?
39:47I have never been more serious in my life.
39:49I dragged my suitcase out the front gate,
39:51tears blurring my eyes,
39:52not even wiping them
39:53until I walked right into a telephone pole.
39:55A hand grabbed my arm and yanked me back.
39:57I looked up.
39:58Marcus?
39:59You...
40:00Why are you still here?
40:01He just looked at me.
40:02Dead serious.
40:03I've been thinking.
40:05There's something more important
40:06you need to take care of first.
40:08Like what?
40:09He took the suitcase from my hand,
40:10put it in the trunk,
40:11and opened the car door.
40:17Going to the courthouse to make it legal.
40:19I froze where I stood.
40:20That wedding back there,
40:21I just wanted someone to save face for me,
40:23out of pure spite.
40:24I hadn't thought about tying the rest of my life
40:26to a stranger I'd known for less than an hour.
40:28What?
40:29Having second thoughts?
40:30He looked at me and raised an eyebrow.
40:31No!
40:31I just didn't expect it to happen this fast.
40:34I don't like wasting time.
40:35He said it so calmly,
40:36and somehow,
40:38I couldn't say no.
40:39I got in the car.
40:40Once we were driving,

40:50Either he's broke,
40:51or there's something wrong with him,
40:52physically.
40:53My eyes drifted down,
40:54toward his pants.
40:55His hands paused on the wheel,
40:56and the car jerked.
40:58What are you thinking about?
40:59Nothing!
41:00I waved my hands fast.
41:01He went quiet for a couple seconds.
41:03Then said,
41:04Open the glove box in front of you.
41:05Dazed.
41:06I did it.
41:07Inside was a stack of papers,
41:08folded up neat and tidy.
41:10Take them out.
41:10Look.
41:11I pulled them out.
41:12A medical report.
41:14A full physical.
41:14Every single line said normal.

41:55Five years older than me.
41:57Perfect.
41:57Oh, right.
41:58He said,
41:59looking down at me,
42:00serious.
42:01There's something I should tell you up front.
42:02I looked up.
42:04I have a son.
42:06He's six.
42:25My fiancé cheated on me.

44:52Felix?
44:53How are you two related?
44:55We're not close.
44:56I'm sort of his distant uncle.
44:58I let out a breath.
44:59Okay.
44:59Good.
45:00Afraid he'd back out,

45:45Felix scrambled to his feet,
45:46his shirt still unbuttoned.
45:48But Caroline didn't get up.
45:49She stayed on the swing,
45:50covering her face,
45:51her shoulders shaking as she cried.
45:53Abigail, I'm sorry.
45:55It's all my fault.
45:56I shouldn't have gotten sick and ruined your wedding.
45:58She cried loud,
45:59loud enough for the whole house to hear.
46:01Sure enough,
46:02my mom came hurrying out of the house.
46:04She took one look at me in the garden,
46:05then immediately pulled Caroline into her arms.
46:08There, there, don't cry.
46:09Then she turned and glared at me.
46:11Abigail, what did you do to Caroline this time?
46:13I just stood there.
46:14I couldn't get a single word out.
46:15What did I do?
46:16She stole my family.
46:18She stole my fiancé.
46:20But the second she cries,
46:21I'm the villain.
46:22I straightened my back
46:23and looked around at all of them.
46:25Do you want to know
46:25why she really skipped my wedding today?
46:27My mom pointed at me.
46:28Caroline wasn't feeling well.
46:30What are you implying?
46:31She's this sick?
46:32Can't you cut your own sister some slack?
46:35Sick?
46:36I let out a cold laugh,
46:38walked into the living room,
46:39pulled out a thick stack of papers
46:41and slammed it down on the table.
46:44See for yourselves.
46:46Show me where exactly she's sick.
46:48My mom hesitated,
46:49then opened it.
46:50One page,
46:51another page,
46:52and another.
46:53Her face went from confused to shocked.
46:56It was every medical report Caroline had
46:58from the past few years,
46:59and every single one said healthy,
47:01nothing abnormal.
47:02She was never sick.
47:03She'd been faking it for three whole years.
47:05Caroline's face frozen.
47:07She stammered.
47:08Mom,
47:10it's not like that.
47:11I-
47:11Enough!
47:11I cut her off.
47:12I don't want to hear another excuse from any of you.
47:15From today on,
47:16this family,
47:17all of you,
47:18I'm done.
47:19We're nothing to each other.
47:20My mom's head snapped up.
47:22What's that supposed to mean?
47:23I announced it loud and clear.
47:25I got married.
47:26Just now.
47:27At that wedding.
47:28The living room went dead silent.
47:30Felix was the first to snap out of it.
47:32He charged forward,
47:33furious.
47:34What did you say?
47:35Who did you marry?
47:37I ignored Felix,
47:39grabbed my suitcase,
47:40and headed for the door.
47:41Abigail!
47:41Don't make a joke out of something like marriage!
47:43He roared behind me.
47:45I didn't even turn around.
47:46A joke?
47:47I have never been more serious in my life.
47:50I dragged my suitcase out the front gate,
47:52tears blurring my eyes,
47:53not even wiping them
47:53until I walked right into a telephone pole.
47:55A hand grabbed my arm and yanked me back.
47:57I looked up.
47:59Marcus?
47:59You-
48:00Why are you still here?
48:01He just looked at me.
48:03Dead serious.
48:04I've been thinking.
48:05There's something more important
48:06we need to take care of first.
48:08Like what?
48:09He took the suitcase from my hand,
48:11put it in the trunk,
48:11and opened the car door.
48:17Going to the courthouse to make it legal.
48:19I froze where I stood.
48:20That wedding back there,
48:21I just wanted someone to save face for me,
48:23out of pure spite.
48:24I hadn't thought about tying the rest of my life
48:26to a stranger I'd known for less than an hour.
48:29What?
48:29Having second thoughts?
48:30He looked at me and raised an eyebrow.
48:31No!
48:32I just didn't expect it to happen this fast.
48:34I don't like wasting time.
48:35He said it so calmly,
48:37and somehow,
48:38I couldn't say no.
48:39I got in the car.
48:41Once we were driving,
48:42it finally hit me,
48:43and I started to panic.
48:44I snuck a look at him nice suit.
48:45But the car,
48:46an old beater that had clearly been driven for years,
48:49in this much of a rush to get married.
48:50Either he's broke,
48:51or there's something wrong with him,
48:53physically.
48:53My eyes drifted down,
48:54toward his pants.
48:55His hands paused on the wheel,
48:57and the car jerked.
48:58What are you thinking about?
48:59Nothing!
49:00I waved my hands fast.
49:01He went quiet for a couple seconds,
49:03then said,
49:04Open the glove box in front of you.
49:05Dazed,
49:06I did it.
49:07Inside was a stack of papers,
49:08folded up neat and tidy.
49:10Take them out.
49:11Look.
49:11I pulled them out.
49:12A medical report.
49:14A full physical.
49:15Every single line said normal.
49:17My face went up in flames.
49:19He stopped at a red light,
49:20and turned to give me a little smile.
49:22If you still don't believe me,
49:23you're welcome to check for yourself.
49:25That line put certain images in my head,
49:27and my face went even redder.
49:30No, no, no!
49:31I believe you!
49:32I believe you!
49:33He let out a low laugh.
49:39At the courthouse,
49:40it went so fast it didn't feel real.
49:42Fingerprints,
49:43signatures,
49:43and just like that to marriage certificates in hand.
49:48Marcus Fitzgerald,
49:49I read the name off the certificate,
49:50so you're 27?
49:51Mm-hmm.
49:52What, too old for you?
49:52He chuckled.
49:53I shook my head,
49:55blushing.
49:55Five years older than me.
49:57Perfect.
49:58Oh, right.
49:58He said,
49:59looking down at me,
50:00serious.
50:01There's something I should tell you up front.
50:03I looked up.
50:04I have a son.
50:06He's six.
50:07He's six.
