Time

Prologue

You are invited to the wedding of Esther Louise Taylor and Nathan James Harris.

28th July 2016, 1:00pm.

Our Lady St Mary's Catholic Church, King's Road, Chelsea, London.

I sat with the invitation in my hands, I wasn't quite sure if I was reading it correctly.

She's getting married.

Esther's getting married.

My best friend, who I'm in love with. Who I have been in love with since I was thirteen, for the past nine years.

She's going to marry Nathan and not be in love with me, she's going to slowly forget about me, have children, become a mum.. all with him.

And I'll be sat here alone.

I place the invitation on my fridge as my phone rings.

Niall.

Knew he'd ring sooner or later, he was the only one out of the boys who really believed Esther and I were made for each other.

"Hello," I sigh.

"I got the invite,"

I look over at it. "Me too,"

"It's really happening?"

"Yes Niall,"

"But how can you let it happen, why don't you tell her she can't do this.. she's making a mistake. He's no good for her, we both know that."

"Because she isn't, he's right for her we just don't want him to be. She loves him-"

"She loves you,"

I bite my lip. "She's marrying him Niall, and I can't do anything about it."
