Chapter 2:

"Since the boys aren't here I think it would be the best time to start planning some surprises into the wedding." Angel smiled, flopping down on the couch with the planning book. I gave her a skeptical side glance realizing I'd have to tell her about my talk with Avery. She was really into helping me plan this so I was more worried about telling her I was moving the wedding back than Austin.

"Um.. Angel.."

"Yea?"

"I think I want to move the wedding back.."

"What!? No, no. No, no, no! Why?" She whined.

"I feel like I'm making a mistake and rushing into this, I just want more time to get in a better place in life you know, like go back to school and stuff."

"I support that, but you're also engaged to the love of your life and are getting married in a six months." She said flatly.

"I love him but- I, ugh I don't know but everything just feels wrong!" I moaned, covering my face with my hands. I felt her put a reassuring hand on my shoulder but it wasn't comforting. As much as she wanted to she couldn't untangle the web of ideas and paranoia that made up my mind.

"Have you talked to him about all this?" She asked.

"No." I muttered.

"Why not? If he's going to be your partner in life then you think you'd talk to him more. I think you're stuck between trying to already be grown up and transitioning teenager. You have a will to be independent and take care of yourself yet you're trying to enter a partnership with someone else which keeps you from being independent." She explained.

I felt like two imaginary wires inside my head had finally become uncrossed, this confusion finally made a little more sense listening to her.

"I think you're right but what should I do about it then?" I asked my friend who had apparently become a wise old sage overnight. She put a warm reassuring hand on my knee and leaned in like a parent helping their child through teenage drama.

"Honey... Accept that you're getting married in six months and I'm now planning your wedding for you until you get this figure out!" She announced, talking quickly with a gleeful smile before jumping up with the planning book and running for the stairs.

"Angel!" I yelled after her angrily but she was gone.

'Great... Thanks angel.' I thought to myself.

So I just searched the tv for anything interesting to take my mind off everything and settled on Burlesque, it was one of my favorite movies because I always wished I could dance like that but I'm clearly not sexy or coordinated enough so I settled for watching the movie about everything I'd never be.

Watching the part where Jack's ex-fiancé walked in on Jack and Ally together made me think more optimistically. While life seemed so confusing that it was written right out of a movie, we've never cheated on each other or had others try to ruin our relationship. Of course there was always crappy EXs but they never seemed to affect us.

I sighed realizing I was thinking again but at least my head ached less now. 'I should call him.' I thought to myself. We hadn't talked in a couple days and if we were really going to be getting married it wouldn't be good to be keeping all this from him. I knew I could talk to him no problem, he always tried to be understanding of how I was feeling but it was hard to let go and stop feeling like a bother to do so.

'Hmm I have a text from Avery, maybe I should just go see her.. No! Calling.' I internally argued as I cleared her text to hangout in my phone and found Austin's contact.
