Always be by You (Travlyn) [✔️]

Best Friends

Katelyn's POV

"Omigosh, Katelyn, this is SO EXCITING!" Nicole fangirls. It's been a month since Travis got back from the hospital and because he's almost fully recovered, we will be having our wedding soon. Nicole decided that she was going to help me pick out the dress without even asking me if I was okay with it, but that's a typical Nicole-thing. Ever since the beginning, Nicole has always wanted to be involved in everything I do. She helped me figure out how I was going to break up with Jeffory in high school and always seems open to listening to me. Nicole is like the friend everyone dreams of having; good thing we're joined at the hip. The only thing I don't like is that she constantly talks about her relationship with Dante. One time I told her that and she got upset and spat angrily, "Well it's not like you never talk about Travis." I don't remember saying anything after that.
"I'm pretty nervous, actually," I reply honestly. Aphmau had talked to me before Nicole came over about how I haven't been acting like myself. I've just still been in shock about what happened to Travis and Aphmau noticed how I've talked less and eaten smaller portions of food. I'm always worrying about Travis, so I lock myself in my room, send him a text, and wait for hours just staring at the screen. It's not that I'm too lazy to go to his house, it's that I'm too scared. Travis and I haven't spoken much, but when we see each other, he gives me a smile and I feel as if I will burst into tears. Nothing feels the same; maybe after we get married, that calm feeling will come back to me.
"Nervous?" Nicole interrupts my thoughts. She's coming onto me and can tell something isn't the same.
"Yeah."
"Well, I guess that makes sense," she shrugs, probably pushing any worried thoughts about me out of her mind. I'm surprised she isn't questioning what's wrong with me. "It's a big step to get married." Nicole smiles wide at me, "And I'm going to help you pick out the dress!"
"N-Nicole," I begin uneasily, "I'm already having Cad---"
"KATELYN!" Aphmau calls down to me from upstairs, "Cadenza just called and said she has a few designs picked out for when she makes your wedding dress!" Nicole gives me a death glare,
"You're going to have Cadenza make you a dress?! But I really wanted to help you pick one out!"
"Nicole..." I sigh with tiredness. She suddenly shows a guilty expression and looks at her feet.
"Katelyn," she looks back up at me, her gaze strong and firm now, "I don't want to be a burden to you, but I'm going to be there for you, even if I am a nag." I smile weakly and stifle a laugh. Nicole gives me a confident smirk, "I'm not giving up helping you pick out a wedding dress! We can pick one out and give it to Cadenza to spice it up! C'mon, Katelyn, that's fair!"
"I guess that's alright," I answer, causing Nicole to light up with joy. "Thank you," I add.
"What for?"
"For being my best friend."

I hope you guys enjoyed this cute little chapter! Every Katelyn needs a friend like Nicole, y'know? A new chapter will be out soon!
