Once I arrived, I showered and got dressed in my fancy clothing and did my makeup quickly. However before I could leave, my phone rang,

"Hello?"

"Nikki Gonzales?" A staticky voice mumbles. It was a deep, gruff voice that surrounded my ear.

"Yes. Who's asking?" I asked.

"Don't worry about it. You'll find out soon enough." They hung up the phone, leaving me in a confused state. The voice sounded familiar, but muffled enough to not be recognizable.

I ended up packing my car, and headed off to the venue. I arrived, seeing the beautiful chapel. Decorated with flower bouquets, lights, and shiny red carpets. People were crawling around everywhere, some were helping set up the camera's and lights, while others were wearing some costumes. I was walking towards the complimentary make up room before accidentally bumping into a lady,

"I'm sorry, my bad," I looked up and saw Mandy. She looked a bit better than she did a few years ago. Her previously dyed hair, seemed to be fading and returning back to her regular brunette hair. She also seemed as if she had just gotten a tan, her skin was glowing.

"No I'm sorry- Wait Nikki?" She asked while examining my face.

"Yep, thats me," I smiled and lightly laughed towards her. She initiated a hug, which I did return.

"How've you been?" She also smiled back with a hint of nervousness, as we pulled away.

"Fine. Nothing new," I said. "So why are you here?" i think it was pretty obvious why, but still asking is nice.

"It was a random, out-of-the-blue, call that I got a couple days ago. I wasn't really prepared. But they said that I would play the fiance and I haven't had a gig in a while, so I thought why not?" She muttered

"I'm sure you'll do great." I smiled.

"Yeah, it's just a lot to handle. Ya'know seeing Andrew and stuff," she rubbed her arms, and looked away slightly.

"I'm sure that it will be fine, it's been a couple of years, and I'm sure both of you have moved on, right?" I chuckled.

"Yeah. I just feel really bad, I hope to make things right today,"

"I'm glad, he deserves that," I sighed out and smiled slightly once again, "I have to go set up though, good luck today," I smiled and quickly retreated inside the building.

"Yea it has thank you very much for the advice it helps a lot." I heard her say as I continued to walk away. We were never close, but did talk occasionally. Though I don't support her cheating lifestyle, she was still a pretty nice person. None of us agreed with her choices, Bloom had always been such a good guy.

I put the clothes on the rack, and left the assistant make up artists that the company also hired to help out. I grabbed my camera and began to walk out to find everyone.

Amy and Chance were not far from the entrance as they were setting up the main cameras. I looked over and saw Mikey talking with another blonde, I assumed her to be another model.

Michael, then saw me, walked over and said "Her name's Rachel. She has been all over him since she came in to help the bride model."

I looked over at him,"Yeah, I can see that," I sighed out and reverted back to fixing my lenses.

"They hugged and took selfies together and got his number. I don't know if he gave his real number though." He gave me a pat on the shoulder,

"Oh. That's cool," I mumble.
