Bad Leads To Hope

1. bad and good news

"He has a week left to wake up." The doctor said.

The doctor left me, Jason, James and Jasmine with an unconscious Jerry. James put his arm around Jasmine's shoulder. Jason put his hands in his pockets. I went to stand next to Jerry.

"Please wake up." I said.

Bret then opened the door, and walked in. He stood next to me.

"A week." Bret said. "This week, a lot is going to happen."

We all forgave Bret, he broke up with Wendy. He said sorry to all of us. He was invited to the wedding for Jasmine and James.

We stood there for a while, then the doctor came in and told us that we had to go. We walked out of the hospital. Bret said he would drive me home so we went to his car. When we got in, Bret did not start the car.

He rested his head on the seat.

"Are you okay?" I asked.

"Toni, I am not okay." Bret said. He put his hand on mine. "I left you, to this. It was hard on you, like it was to me."

"Bret, I do not know what happened in your life, it must be bad. I can't be mad at you for trying to find a distraction." I said.

"You remind me of my mom in a way." Bret said. "You and her both hope for something good to happen, when stuff is going bad. She and my dad died in a car crash."

"I am sorry." I said.

"You did not do anything." Bret said. "Let me drive you home."

He started the car and drove to the apartment building. I went to me and my sister's apartment. James was not there. My sister, her close friend Nancy, and my Mom was there.

I ran up, and hugged her.

"What are we doing?" I asked my sister.

"We are going to shop for a wedding dress." Jasmine said.

We went to a shop. There were a lot of pretty dresses there. Some were sparkly and some were not. They had all kinds of dresses.

We sat on some comfortable chairs, and Jasmine tried on some dresses. The first one was pretty, but did not look good on Jasmine. The second one was too sparkly. The third one did not have sparkles, it had lace on the bottom with a cream color under it. The top was cream colored. It looked good on Jasmine. They got the dress. We went shopping for my dress then. I was the Made of Honor. I got a light blue dress that had sparkles on the top. They got Nancy and my mom a dress too. We then went to me and Jasmine's apartment.
