Spending time in London with Ethan was one of the best experiences I've had in a long time. He makes me so unbelievably happy and he's been so patient with me these past few months and I can only hope he feels the same way I do about him.

Today is Evi's and Colton's wedding and it feels so surreal. It felt like just yesterday we were all on that terrible double date and throwing food at one another. Now they're getting married and I am so very happy for them. Everything feels like it's falling into place. I haven't been happy in so long. I'm beyond honored to be Evi's maid of honor. That's sort of ironic; being honored to be a maid of honor.

Since Evi got Ethan and I tickets to London, I've decided to buy Evi and Colton the perfect wedding gift: concert tickets to their favorite band along with a three night stay in a fancy four star hotel in the honeymoon suite.

"Are you okay, honey?" Ethan taps me on the shoulder, making me jump.

"Yeah baby, I'm great." I wrap my arms around him, giving him a quick peck.

Since we got back from London, Ethan has been staying in New York with me so I can work. He told the dean at his college that there was a death in the family, which technically isn't a lie since our child passed away, it just hadn't had the chance to be born yet, but she understood and told him to take some time off of his general education classes.

I've been doing pretty good at the pub. Ethan visits me pretty much every other day and while he isn't with me, he's cleaning the dorms in my wing for extra money. I'm very proud of him.

"What are you thinking about?" Ethan asks me.

"Evi and Colton's wedding."

"What about it?"

"I've decided to buy them tickets to see twenty one pilots." I admit. "And a three night stay in a four star hotel."

"Oh wow, they're gonna explode." Ethan cracks a joke.

"I know," I chuckle, "it's their favorite band." I smile at him.

"You guys it's three o'clock, we need to start getting ready for the wedding." Veronica walks in with our dresses wrapped in a plastic covering.

"Ethan, we have to get hot so go with Kyle and get hot with him in his dorm." Veronica laughs while nodding toward Kyle. They roll their eyes with a few chuckles.

"I'm sure my baby will be fine as hell," Ethan kisses me before walking out the door with Kyle. Somehow he still manages to give me butterflies.

"So when are you guys getting married?" Veronica asks when the coast is clear. I roll my eyes, giggling.

"Probably not for a while," I admit. I am in love with Ethan and I always will be but marriage isn't the most important thing to us right now. We need to get through college first and get careers and build up our money and be responsible adults.

"Well if you guys get married, I better be on the guest list!" Veronica giggles.

"Of course!" I pull out my dress and slip it on, admiring myself in the mirror. Evi did a great job picking out the dresses. They're a maroon kind of color with lace embroideries. Veronica quickly curls my hair and I apply some mascara and highlighter.

"Holy shit," Ethan mumbles as he picks his mouth up off the floor. He starts fidgeting with his bow tie. "You look wow."

"Shut up," I giggle, covering my face so he can't see me blush.

"You look nice too, Veronica." Ethan adds and Veronica laughs.

"I know right!" Veronica is one for a ton of self confidence.
