Shattered

Forgiving And Learning

Mrs Meyer.

Now that sounds amazing doesn't it. During the reception the only thing I've been capable of doing is stuffing my face.

Nathan literally made sure that all my favourite foods are here. I'm currently eating ice cream while Nathan has excused himself to go to the bathroom.

"Hey." I hear. I look up and a smile paints intensely on my face.

"Soraya!" I yell and embrace her.

"Baby you look good." I tell her and she smiles.

"Oh and we have matching bumps. Prego gang. " she says laughing.

I only chuckle dryly.

So she ended up staying. I wouldn't have imagined that. But I know what it's like,she just needs the final push and then she'll be out of that man's life for good.

" I've got to go to the bathroom. You know how it is with all the peeing." I fake excuse myself.

Listen, I'm not being fake. I just understand.

I understand how annoying it is to have someone tell you to get out of something while they dont know how you're feeling. I know that if I had stayed there then I would have told her to leave.

I catch a glimpse of someone I know as I try maneuvering myself up the stairs to the bathroom.

"Allyson?" I ask. She smiles.

"Hey Gemma. " she says gently.

"I didnt expect to see you here." I tell her.

"I couldnt resist. You were my bestfriend Gemma, I wanted to support you on your big day." She says.

"Where's Willow?" I ask resting my arms over my belly.

"She's back at home. She just had a baby so she's still resting." She says.

"Oh, good for her. What are you doing with your life?" I ask her.

"I'm a housewife. Colt literally does everything for us. Its wonderful, I love it. I'm happy Gem, and I'm sad that I cant share that with you." She says.

"As time goes on Ally, I'll come back. But now? I'm getting my shit together. It was nice seeing you but my husband may be worried about me." I tell her before hugging her.

"I see you. And you looked wonderful. Congratulations. " she says hugging me back.

I have hope that we will be friends again, but as long as her sister in law is still the devil that whispers in her ear the I'm afraid not.

"Babe! There's some people Arraine wants us to meet!" Nathan calls.

He pulls me to a table that has a young girl and a boy. Both in their teenage years.

The girl has blue eyes and bronze hair while the boy literally looks like Nathan except he has green eyes instead of hazel eyes.

"This is Natalia and Jamie. Nathan's siblings." She says and both of them stand to greet us.

"Hi Natalia, it's very nice to meet you." I tell her as I embrace her.

"Its nice to meet you too aunty Gemma." She says. She sounds so sweet.

"Hi Jamie, I'm pleased to meet you." I tell him as I embrace him.

"Its nice to meet you too aunty." He says hugging me.

I didnt know that Nathan has siblings but they are adorable.

"Have you had anything to eat?" I ask. They shake their heads.
