Looking Behind

Dream 1

Miss Adeline was at a ball.It had jewels lining up the curtains.The most fabulous food was out on the tables. It was dessert time so many cupcakes were on it and in the middle was a giant cake. On the top a figure of a bridesmaid and groom were holing hands and the cake read, " Congratulations Alvin and Grace."

Adeline kept looking at the dresses. In her opinon no ones was that good, not any ones except hers and of course the brides. Adeline had a bright green dress. It was long ,so long that it went down to her ankles. It had only one sleeve. It was an original. By the best fashion designer in the world. Herself.

She turned around after she heard her name. It was Grace looking amazing as always. In her beautiful white wedding gown that Adeline made. It really shows her curves. It is slimming and sparkling, just as Grace loves it. She is also wearing a stiched white vail not covering her honey blonde hair. Alvin comes to meet his new wife. In a black suit and hair slicked back. Alvin looks irrestially hot. But no lady can take him any more.

"Adeline, darling!How we thank you so much for making this amazing gown. We haven't seen you in ages and oh my goodness did you get a bob? I thought we made a pact to never, ever where any sort of short hair. Oh well, I shouldn't have doubted that you wouldn't get one. This is the twenties of course." Grace hugs Adeline. And kisses her on both cheeks. Why how Adeline misses her life before moving to America. Always in France.

" Adeline, we meet again. It has been almost three years since we last saw you? Gracie and I really wanted to visit you in New York, but we are both so busy with our makeup and hair line. We are so happy that you made Gracies dress. Boy I think if you said no to her she would've walked down the alter naked!" Alvin laughs at his own joke and pops out a cigerette. "Adeline, want one."

"No thanks. I don't want to make out with someone with smoke breathe. Ah who am I kidding I would like one and three shots of whiskey." Alvin and Grace looked appaled. This was their friend?

"Joking. But no seriously I would want one thank you." Alvin lights it up and gives it to Adeline. She inhales it's disgusting sweetness and exhales. Making three o's. Alvin and Grace applaud. Adeline bowed with a huge smile on her face.

Adeline always loved the spotlight, the attention. Always a step closer to be cool and chic. That's one of the reason she became a fashion designer. To be diffrent and still get applause for how well she pulled it. Little did she know that it would kill her later on.

"Well New York is exciting. The buildings are huge. Even bigger than Paris! I saw the connection between France and America. Because of the Statue of Liberty. Now have do I understand why french people gave it to those people? No. But it truly is a beautiful view. I also now know how to speak fluent english. I am so happy I could get time off and see both of you!" She hugged them once more. and inhaled her cigerette.

Her feelings were mixed. She felt happy that Grace found someone. Well it wouldn't have been hard she is one of the prettiest girls in Paris. But sad because she was still in love with Alvin. Five years ago they all went to University of Paris. Grace and her were roomates and shortly met Alvin. They were all best friends and hung out with each other every second of the day. But soon Adeline began to fall in love with Alvin and even asked him out two years later. She was so angry and sad that she moved to New York and strted a fashion line Belle Adeline. It became fastly popular and it grew more from there. It is now the number one collection in seven countries. She is known every where. And while she moved away, Alvin and Grace were getting closer together and started a brand of frangrances and makeup. How they fell and love and got engaged ,and even ask Adeline to make the dress. By that time she forgave them and was happy to make the dress .But now, after seeing Alvin she regretted even saying she would come to the wedding.

While the dancing kept going and Alvin and Grace talked she felt how much she missed and how much fun it was to be a trio again. It really made her sad. Alvin excused himself to talk to his mother. But instead of going to the table across from them he went upstairs. Adeline didn't notice how she was admiring Grace's dress. But if she relised she could have moved. And because for being the only person in a green dress she was an easy target for the sniper. And because of her goal to stand out she fell on Grace and bled. All of it went on her best friend's beautiful white dress that everyone admirded.
