YouTube [SLOWLY EDITING] {1}

45

I sat in the chair with a huff, my legs ached from all the walking Zoe and I had done. She was searching through endless racks for the perfect dress, I shouldn't be the one that's exhausted. Zoe is pregnant for god's sake, her bump has grown quite a bit. It looks funny because Zoe is so small and her bump is really big.

"Oh my god, this is impossible." Zoe groaned.

"Relax Zoe, I'm sure we'll find your perfect dress soon." I reassured.

"Jess, this is the sixth shop. I'm not holding out much hope at the moment." She shot back.

"Tell me about it," I muttered under my breath so she couldn't hear me.

I peered around the shop to see a rack that Zoe hadn't checked out, she had told me that she wanted something simple and manageable. The section that had caught my eye seemed to have simple dresses.

"Zoe, this rack might have a dress that you want." I pointed to the rack and I smiled as her lit up.

She quickly scurried over to the rack and her fingers began searching through the dresses. I watched in surprise as she pulled out a dress after a few seconds, she gasped before turning to me at lightning speed.

"Wow calm Zo, I'll come to you we don't want you falling or anything." I spoke as I rushed over to her.

I have to admit the dress she held was gorgeous, it simple yet elegant and it screamed Zoe.

"I think it's the one." Zoe beamed.

I nodded my head in return and urged her to go buy, it would look stunning.

I waited in the chair as she talked to the lady in the shop about alterations and accessories to go with her dress. My phone buzzed, a text from Joe popped up on my screen.

Alfie and I ordering pizza, that okay with you and Zoe?

I replied quickly telling him it was fine, Joe and I were heading back tomorrow morning. Last night, after I went back to Zoe's after saying bye to Jack; Zoe and I made a bath for Joe with loads of fancy bath bombs. He hadn't stopped talking about all morning so Zoe and I agreed that we had to get out of the house before we went insane.

"Okay, I'm ready to go. They're going to keep the dress for me here and I can pick it up when the alterations are done." Zoe said as she grabbed her bag.

"Perfect, Joe and Alfie have ordered pizza for tonight." I told her, she nodded her head and we made our way to her car.

I took the keys from her after we out our bags into the back seat, I decided to drive since Zoe had gotten too big to fit in the drivers seat.

"The big day is getting close Zoe, are you excited?" I questioned, I was so happy for her and Alfie.

"I honestly can't believe it's next month, I'm so excited and then the due date will be soon after that. Alfie is so excited too, he keeps talking about baby clothes and a nursery." I smiled as Zoe rambled on about how they didn't know what colour they would paint the nursery.

"So have you and Jack decided anything yet?" Zoe asked as she pushed her sunglasses up to rest on her head.

"Not yet, we decided it's best not rush anything yet and besides we've also decided to wait until after your wedding first." I informed her of our plan.

"Oh well that seems like a good idea," Zoe replied as we pulled up outside her apartment.

We went inside to see that Alfie and Joe had set the table and had the pizza on the table with some chips and drinks.

"What did you two get up to?" Alfie questioned as he saw the bags in our hands.

"Zoe found her dress." I revealed.

"Took you long enough," Joe teased.

"Well you try being pregnant Joe then let me know how you get on finding a dress," Zoe shot back and we all laughed.

"That's great Zo, it's getting so close." Alfie said as he pulled her into his arms taking the bags from her arms.

"Guess what? After dinner, we can play board games." Joe exclaimed excitedly.

"Dork," Zoe and I said unison as we high fived each other.

---

It turns out Joe had gotten his wish of board games, but let's just say it didn't go that well. There were a lot of accusations of cheating which resulted in Joe himself sulking.Joe and I currently waited at the train station for the train back to London, I sent Jack a quick text letting him know that I was on my way back. I also texted Ella so we could plan something to do once I got back. The train involved Joe and I teasing each other about Jack and Lexa.

We talked about YouTube projects that we would both be taking part in. I had vlogged while in Brighton, so once I had chance I could edit and upload it. It was 1:30 by the time we arrived in London.
I told Joe I would see him soon after giving him a hug as we departed, when I came in the door to my apartment I saw Ella on the couch watching tv.

"You're home!!" Ella squealed as she pulled me into a bone crushing hug.

"Yes, now release me before I die." I joked.

"How was Brighton?" Ella questioned as she released me.

"Great, it turns out Jack and Conor were in Brighton too. I spent some time with Jack, I hung out with Joe and Alfie and I helped Zoe go shopping for her wedding dress." I told her, I took off my jacket and her eye widened at the bandage on my arm.

I told her all about the whole hospital fiasco, how Jack was really upset about the whole thing and how he had apologised profusely. At first, Ella burst out laughing and I felt mortified and then she said that we were both idiots, but in my defence I had done nothing wrong.

After catching up on everything that we had both missed, Ella and I decided that we would go clubbing tomorrow night to let off some stress.

By the time night came, I was exhausted. Jack had called me and I spoke to him for awhile before he made me hang up to go sleep as I had yawned for the thousandth time during our conversation.

Sleep came easily, I cuddled up in the duvet and as soon as my head hit the pillow I was out like a light.
