You Can't Love Him

32

Two months later

"Emmie, please hand me her shoes." My mom pointed to the white high heels in the corner of the room. I quickly run over and grab them. 

"Here you go,"I hand them over to her. She snatches them out of my grip. She bites her lip as she studies the shoes. The pale shoe shines in the light.

"Ugh, I'm so jealous. I wish I had these for my wedding," She sighs and then looks at me." I'm going to bring these to Cassie."

It's weird how my mom is helping her ex-husband's fiancé get ready for their wedding.  I'm really happy that my mom and Cassie get along though.It makes things a lot easier for me and Drew. I can't imagine what it would be like if they hated each other.

"Emmie, we need you to go with the rest of the bridesmaids. They are in that room." Carrie, one of Cassie's older sisters, basically pushes me out of the room. I could have got there myself without being forced.

I feel like non of the bridesmaids take me seriously because I'm the younger and not one of the sisters or best friends. They have treated me like a child all morning. Telling me that I need to do this and I can't do this. Like yes, I understand. I'm not a child.

I walk into the room to see everyone eating little sandwiches and drinking tea. Hm, this is really fancy. The room like everywhere else was white. The couches were white, the curtains were white. I was shocked to see that the tables around the room were either brown or grey. I actually have never seen something as simple as this look so elegant. I look around the room to find the only person I really knew.

"Over here," I look to see Jocelyn sitting in the corner. I sigh in relief and walk over to her. I thought she had left or something. I should have known she's be were the food was. If I didn't have things to do that's where I would be as well.

So you may be wondering how I'm here when I said I wasn't going to the wedding. Cassie ended up talking me into it. She apologized for my dads actions. I'm honestly only here for Cassie and to see my mom. I still haven't talked to my dad. I have no reason to. For some reason I feel like it's his fault Noah is gone. Like he has something to do with it. Noah did mention my writing school.

I haven't heard from Noah since the day he left. I don't think any of us have.

Cassie let me invite the whole group to the wedding. That would explain why Joc is here. I'd honestly be so bored without her. She keeps things entertaining.

"How are things going with the bride." Jocelyn asks. I shrug in response.

"I didn't really get to see her. I only got her shoes."

"At least you didn't have to sit in here. There's so much gossip going around, I can't keep up! I literally have a headache from listening to all the stories." Jocelyn puts her palm on her forehead.

"You're so dramatic." I laugh. She glares at me and then laughs as well.

"Did you know that Sally and Ester, the brides grandma's on both sides, have been rivals since high school! We might see a granny fight!"

My best friend everyone. The only girl I know that would get excited about two grandmas fighting.

For an hour we all just hung out and tried not to eat all the food. It was very, very tempting.

"Alright girls. We are meeting in the west hall. Please find who you are supposed to be walking with." Carrie instructs. We all slowly get up and head to the west hall.

We finally made it to the hall and everyone started to find their partners. I didn't really see mine. I know he's here somewhere. I stand up on my toes to try and see over the crowd.
