Come a Little Closer ((Completed))

Chapter 4

After a few days of hiding out in my bedroom away from my new family, and few surprise visits from Tinsley here and there, it's finally my mother and Bill's wedding day. My dad is in Florida now, and face times me daily. It still feels weird knowing I'll never see him again. Layla cries everyday, and I feel guilty because I haven't cried since the day he left. I cried when we were talking on the beach, and that's it. I haven't cried again. Granted I almost never cry. I didn't even cry at the end of The Notebook. 

Blair is meeting me at the club where the wedding ceremony will take place. I'm driving there now, with my black dress and red heels making it impossible to arrive on time. Layla isn't speaking to me, because I didn't defend her at dinner when Liam and Max jumped down her throat. I honestly thought she had it coming. She isn't acting her like herself. I've never been so embarrassed of her in my life. ever since she came out public with Kyle, she has turned into a different person. I hate it, Layla and I used to be inseparable. We loved each other. Now I can't stand to be in the same room with her because she broke my heart when she dated the guy I am so in love with. I don't know if I can ever look at them same. 

"Turn left.'' My GPS boomed threw my car. I took a left into a big parking lot. I seen a sign that read James/Fuller Wedding fourth floor. Parking in garage. I turned into the parking garage and went up to the fourth parking lot. "You have arrived to your destination.'' The GPS spoke. 

I turned my car off and slipped my heels off my feet to walk better. I don't know why I didn't think of that when I was driving. I walked into the big fancy doors that went right into a big room full of chairs and an alter. 

"Oh, Rory!" Kennedy yelled from across the room. She was standing next to my mother and Layla. 

I walked to them. ''Is Blair here?" I asked, not looking at my mother who I will admit looks very beautiful. Her gown is the perfect white, with a long train, and a black sash. Her hair had perfect curls and she is glowing. 

"Yes, she is talking with Liam. But We need to take pictures. My maid of Honor will be here in just a few.'' My mother says, just as a tall girl in a dress similar to us bridesmaids walks in.

She gave me a warm smile. ''Aurora?" She asked.

I smiled faintly. ''Rory, please.'' I said.

She smiled "Of  course. I'm Leslie.'' 

I shook her hand. "Layla, nice to see you again.''

Layla smiled. ''Yes, it was so nice meeting you last night.''

Leslie smiled and then hugged Kennedy. She looked back at me. ''I'm Bill's sister.''

I nodded. ''Oh.'' I didn't know what else to say, considering I hated Bill.

"Beth, you look so beautiful in that dress! So glad you went with that one.''

My mom smiled. ''Me too.''

"Alright, alright let's get these photo's taken!" Said a short man in a tux walking in the room.

We all stood off to the side of my mother. She was in the middle of all four. "Wait!" She shouted.

I looked at her startled. "We forgot, Tinsely!"

I looked around the room. I had a feeling someone was missing, I just assumed it was Blair.

"Rory, would you mind getting her? She seems to have taking a liking in you, and she is sleeping she won't come with any of us.''

I nodded. ''Where is she?" I asked.

My mom pointed to two big golden doors. ''Back there with all the guys.''

I jumped off the stage and walked over to the doors knocking. I heard someone walking up to it, and then Max answered. "She's alive!" He said looking me up down.
