"What do you mean he ran off with Karen? She's my fucking Maid of Honor," Betty yelled hysterically. "The wedding is in an hour."
"Uh, I saw them getting into the limo about nine this morning and driving off," Betty's mom said softly, trying to stay calm herself. "They haven't come back and the limo service said the car was back on their lot after dropping the couple off at the airport."
Betty staggered back and sat down hard on the bed. "I'll kill both of them."
"Now dear...."
"Fuck you! Fuck you and the rest of this one horse, petty little town. I should have followed my instincts and left right after high school but no, I had to hang around waiting for the only decent guy in town to ask me to marry him. That sure worked out great."
"But dear...."
Betty gave her mother a hard look, which shut her up. "Go tell everyone there won't be a wedding today or ever as far as I'm concerned."
As her mother started to turn toward the door, Betty said coldly, "No, wait. I want to do it."
"Don't be rash," her mother cautioned. "You're upset now but that will pass, so don't do anything you'll regret."
"The only thing I regret is wasting three years on an asshole and trusting someone like she was a sister," Betty whispered as she stood up. Kicking her high heels violently across the room she added, "Now it's my turn to fuck over some people."
"Now wait a minute..." Her mother started to say.
Betty laughed and hiked her wedding dress up above her knees. White stockings encased her legs. She took three steps to the door and looked around at her mother, with fire in her eyes.
Her mother scrambled to open the door and Betty calmly walked out into the hall. She was calm on the outside but rage burned deep inside. Rage at being made a fool of and rage at herself for not seeing it coming.
Karen was a slut and had always been a slut, so why did it surprise Betty that she had stolen the only good man in town and on the day of the wedding. As for Brad, he was a hunk and headed places but he was too easy going and controllable.
Betty frowned. He was so easy going and controllable that he had bolted with the first bitch in heat that came to hand when the chips were down. So much for knowing people your whole life. They still surprised you in the end with the things they did.
A door opened and Betty's dad step out into the hall.
"Where are you going?" He asked with a smile. "You aren't getting cold feet are you?"
Betty stopped and looked at him hard. "Where is Brad?"
"Uh, he had an errand to run. Why do you ask?"
Betty looked over her shoulder at her mother. "Mom can fill you in," she said as she continued down the hall.

The organist started to play the wedding march but stopped in mid note as it dawned on her that the bride was barefooted and had her dress hiked up to mid thigh. The dark glare that Betty was giving her was a second clue that something was wrong.
Betty marched down toward the front of the church, her eyes locked dead ahead. The brides maids were there, the best man was there but Brad and Karen were not there. Her eyes locked onto Glen, the best man and Brad's younger brother. A grin came to her lips as she came up with a plan for both revenge and self-gratification all in one person.
She mounted the three steps to join the rest of the bridal party. Turning, she looked out over the hundred or so guests. A hush descended over the crowd. Suddenly Betty felt embarrassed and at a lose for words. She turned and took two steps over to where Glen stood with her back to the crowd.
Hiking her dress up even higher, she gave Glen a good view as to what she wore under her wedding dress, thigh high stockings and a garter on her right upper thigh. Glen's eyes dropped to what she was showing and his mouth dropped open.
She leaned close and asked, "Feel like getting your brains fucked out?"
"Uh..." was his witty shocked reply.
"I'll take that as a yes," Betty said as she dropped the front of her dress and turned toward the people who had come to her wedding.
In a loud steady voice she said, "There will not be a wedding today. It seems the groom has eloped with the Maid of Honor. As for me, I'm out of here also. I have plans for the rest of the weekend."
"I'll get the car," Betty's dad said from the back of the church.
"No need for that, I already have a ride, right Glen," Betty said looking over her shoulder.
"Uh, uh, yeah," Glen said softly.
Betty stuck out her arm and said, "Shall we go?"
Glen seemed to shiver and then he finally moved forward to take Betty's arm. Together they walked down the steps and up the aisle toward the exit.
As they passed Betty's father, he asked, "Where are you going?"
Without pausing, Betty replied, "To do the same thing the groom is going to do."
"What?"
Betty stopped at the door to the church and turned toward her father. She smiled at him and then said, "Since Brad took Karen on my honeymoon, I'm taking Glen somewhere and fucking his brains out. Do you have a problem with that?"
"Uh...." Her father said with a shocked look on his face.
"Now that we have that settled," Betty said with a grin as she turned and opened the door. Looking at Glen, she said, "Shall we."
For the first time Glen smiled and led the way out of the church.

As Glen helped her up into his truck, Betty realized that she didn't have a change of clothing, shoes, her purse, her ID, or money for that matter. As she settled in the seat, she whispered, "Fuck it."
Glen got in the truck on the drivers side and closed the door. He paused with the key in the ignition. Looking over at Betty, he asked, "Are you sure you want to go through with this?"
Betty frowned. "I had intended to get married, eat a little cake, drink some champagne, get on a cruise ship, and spend four days and three nights getting my brains fucked out. As it is, there is no wedding, fuck the cake and champagne, and Brad and Karen are on the cruise ship. So, what's left?"
"Uh, I could take you home."
Betty's frown grew deeper. "Are you gay or something?"
"Well no, but...."
Betty blew out a deep breath and whispered, "Well fuck, you're worse than your brother." Opening the truck door, she asked, "Does anyone in your family have balls besides your mother?"
Glen said, "Huh?"
