Best Friends Betrayal ❃ j.r

Chapter Fifteen

Ava's pov.
Jenny and Rudy were now, finally, married. They were coming out of the Church while everyone threw rice.

Jenny was still bombed.

As Jenny and Rudy walked down the steps, I remembered Jenny's veil.

"Her veil." I mumbled, going back into the church.

In the sanctuary, I grabbed the veil and made my way out. The organist came up and I could hear the liquor bottles clinking in her purse.

"Oh hi." I smiled as she smiled back at me. "Jenny forgot her veil. I know she wouldn't want anything to happen to it. She's . . . she's a little out of it." I understated.

The organist gave me a sarcastic smile, along with a sarcastic remark. "Just a little bit."

"Yeah, um, well excuse me. I wanna make sure I see Jenny leave." I said hurriedly. "Good bye." I mumbled as I walked off to the front of the church.

I came to the door of the Church, only to see that Jenny had already left. Everyone was now getting into their cars to head to the reception.

I looked down in dismay. Out on the street the cars began to move out of the way, on their way to enjoy themselves at the reception.

I lifted my head with a sigh and spotted Jake across the street, leaning on his car.

I was very surprised.

Jake sheepishly waved hello, as I looked behind me to see who he was waving at. Realizing that there was no one behind me, I pointed to myself with a questioning look.

Would he really come down to the Church just to see me?

Jake smiled. "Yeah you." I saw him mouth as he jogged over to me.

We met on the steps, both smiling.

"Hi." We said in unison. I didn't know why it was so awkward know when I had all the confidence in the world when I was with him.

There was a long, awkward, pause.

"What are you doing here?" I asked, clutching my wristlet in both hands.

"I heard you were here." Jake smiled, stuffing his hands in his pockets.

"You came here for me?" I smirked.

He instantly smirked back. "Is that okay?"

"Yeah, it's okay." I shyly smiled.

"Do you have to go to the reception now?"

I looked down to think. Do I really want to go to the reception? "I'm supposed to."

"Can I call you later?" Jake asked.

"Sure." I said, not really thinking. "I mean, no." I corrected myself.

Jake frowned. "No I can't call you later?"

"Yeah." I said, looking up at him, realizing Jake looked upset. "No, I mean, I'm not going to the reception."

"Oh, great." Jake genuinely smiled.

He motioned to his car, like he was offering me a ride and I accepted. We headed over to his car. As we do, I looked up to see Sam further off who is getting into everyone into her dad's car.

After I made sure Jake wasn't looking, I pointed to Jake with a big smile. Sam gave me a thumbs up as I got into Jake's car. Jake shut my door and then walked around to the drivers side and got in.
