Set in Stone

Chapter 13

I wake up early on Wednesday morning, don't want to be any form of late to my cousin Rachel's wedding party. It's not her weddingyet, it's just a party with family and friends and random people. I get out of bed and head to the bathroom. Ashton must have stayed at work late because he still isn't home. I don't care where he is but it's not normal. I close the bathroom door and turn on the shower, and I get in.
I burnt myself twice trying to curl my hair, great. I picked out this nice beige dress and matching heels. I put the dress and heels on and make my way downstairs when I hear the front door open. In walks Ashton who looks like he just got out of a fight. He notices me and walks into the kitchen as I grab my keys. "Where are you going?" He asks, mumbling. "I'm going to a-" I cut myself off, do I say wedding or party? "I'm going to a wedding." I say, nodding my head. "Okay, whatever." Ashton mumbles as he makes himself breakfast.

When I arrive at the destination, I notice a lot of people I used to know are at this party. This notice makes me extremely nervous, because if all of Rachel's friends are here, that means- My thoughts are interupted by Rachel running over to me, yelling my name "Penelope! Hey girl! How have you been?" She asks me instantly. My eyes drift from Rachel to exactly across from me. Michael Nosovic. One of my seven evil ex's. Just kidding, he's an awesome person. We dated in High School and some way into collage, I sadly broke up with him because I had to move farther away and didn't want to ruin his emotions. I was a decent person back then, but I pray I'm better now. "Penelope." He says, nodding in my direction. "Michael." I respond, nodding back. I smile at him and continue my chat with Rachel. "You like him again don't you?' Rachel asks me. "No, and even if I did I can't I'm sadly married." I snarl jokingly. "Oh boo, your not happy and plus, I know you like him." She replies, side eyeing me. "Maybe I do, what's it to you?" I respond. If I did like Michael, he wouldn'tlike me back in any way, he's probably married at this point. As as if Rachel read my mind, she added "You know, I heard he's not married." I shake my head "He wouldn't like me again, that would be crazy." I reply. "Rachel don't you dare!!" I yell at her as she walks over to Michael. Oh my gosh, this is the death of me. I will never be able to recover from this. I run up to Rachel and it seems like she's already said enough to kill me. "Rachel why do you do these things to me?" I ask, panting. "Because I'm your bestie and I love you." Rachel respons, winking at me jokingly. Rachel walks away and Michael smiles at me. "So uh what'd she say?" I ask, looking around nervously. "Nothing much, but enough." He responds. "Great, my life is over." I mumble to myself. "It's okay." Michael says. Oh great, here we go. "What?" I ask him, I'm generally confused right now, what is going to happen? I'm totally excited. "I said it's fine, I'm not judging you or anything." Michael replies. "That's great to hear. I should get going, I'll see you around." I wasn't leaving the party, just this convo. "Here, let me give you m number." He interupts. "Oh I'd love that but I'm forcefully married and so that would be cheating according to my forceful husband." I chuckle and roll my eyes. I may never get out of this life.
