Chapter 13 - Fittings

C H A P T E R T H I R T E E N : FITTINGS

Scarlett's POV

Greg, I would like for you to accompany me to Suzanne and Brent's wedding."

And in two seconds my phone rang. It being right beside me, was easy to grab and not drop. It's been a week since I asked Greg about going to the wedding with me, and he accepted. Now, because I'm Suzanne's maid of honor I have to get a fitting, but because of my accident Suzanne had agreed to come down to Massachusetts and help me try on some dresses. She should be here any minute.

As I pick up the phone, a familiar voice is heard coming from the other end. Jack's voice.

"Are you okay?" Normally, I would have responded with a simple yes.

"What the hell? It's been two weeks, where were you when I had my accident, where are you know. Why two weeks? What the hell Jack, what the fuck is wrong with you?" I screamed it to the phone so he could be ashamed of himself.

"Scarlett."

'Don't you dare 'Scarlett' me. Why weren't you there for me? That was so embarrasing, waiting for you to come all week and not see or hear anything from you. And then waiting another week hoping that maybe he really didn't hear the news. And don't you dare say to me that Greg never told you about the car crash, because he told me he called you the night of."

"Oh, so you're going to trust this guy over me? I'm your boyfriend Scarlett."

"You little shit, don't play that card on me. If you're my boyfriend why did you not come to see me? And you want to know why I trust him?, because he's been a really nice guy to me.

"If you like him so much than, why don't you dump me for him?"

"Oh, bull. You don't think I want to?"

"Well why aren't you?'

'That's not the point. The point is that you weren't here for me when I needed you the most." and with that I hung up. Holden was standing in the doorway, able to hear the fight I had just had.

He sat by me, and I cried. I cried into his shirt and I felt like I was trying to drain all the sadness,
but it didn't work because even after I cried I still felt sad and overwhelmed with astonishment.

Suzanne knocked on my door as Holden was comforting me. Suzanne was wearing some sweatpants and a laid back shirt. I'm guessing she's trying to help me not be so insecure about my wheelchair. Like I said, I haven't been out in public with my wheelchair yet. So when Suzanne decided to take me to the wedding dress place, I freaked out.

It took 4 people to help me. Three people got me out of the wheelchair into the car while one put the wheelchair in the car. So Greg, Holden, Suzanne, and some random nurse had to tag along with us just to get me in and out of the car.

As we got to the bridal shop, Greg took my hand and than started wheeling me inside. Suzanne and the random nurse helped me try on the dresses until we finally came to a conclusion. Once Suzanne wheeled me out, I could see both Holden and Greg's eyes pop. I felt bad because I hadn't asked Holden to also come with me. So I made it a plan to ask him on the car ride back to the hospital.

And it was a good thing he said yes.

Jack's POV

Brent flew me to New York for a tuxedo fitting and just to "see an old bud". When I got off the plane I found my way to Brent and we did our famous handshake.

'Where's Suzanne and Bella?" I asked him.

'Suzanne's in Massachusetts and Bella is with the sitter."

If only Scarlett and I were still together, we would probably be going to the wedding together and laughing about it at this very moment. I flashback to our argument this morning over the phone. I made sure Sam wasn't there to here what Scarlett wanted to yell to me about. And even after Scarlett ran out of my room crying a few weeks ago, Sam just laughed it off.

Brent and I looked at the selection of tuxes and finally found the one that could be tailored to everyones fitting. His other men were there as well as I.

Knowing that I had to return to MA, Brent sent me back home with a hug and good wishes.

'Where have you been?" asked Sam as she crawled into her bed. I had just arrived back to the college dorms, it's 10:00. I excuse her and take me shower as quickly as I can.

"Are you going to that wedding?" she asks.

"What?"

"Don't be so stupid I saw the invitation laying around."

"Okay.. yeah, I was trying on tuxes today." there was a long moment of silence before words released her mouth.

"'So who are you taking?" she smiled mischeviously.
