Into the Light (Sequel)

Chapter 6

"Where are we going?", I groaned, following Moni through the mall.

"We are going to get your bridesmaids dress!", she squealed. "Since yours is slightly different then the others, because you are my maid of honour, we are going to decide which colour would be good and all that kind of stuff. And afterwards we are going to look for the location for the wedding."

We reached a small shop, which was called 'Fit the dress', how exotic. Notice my sarcasm here please.

I still didn't want to go to that damn fitting, because I was over thinking Ashton's text. He couldn't be serious about this, could he?

I started to look through the dresses which were hung on the wall. Nothing really caught my eye, so I decided to move on and look through the other racks. "Hey Hun, do you have a colour concept?"

"I though a bit about it, but no, up to now not. Found anything that you like?", she asked me, flipping through dresses.

"Well, kind of. It's just I like the colour a lot and I think it would also fit the other girls, since Emily has also brown hair and Alex's black", I answered her, holding up a long pastel green dress.

"Holy shit! It's beautiful! Is there just this one model or are there others too?", she shrieked, putting the bridesmaids dress she was looking at back on the rack and practically ran over to me.

"Well, there is this long one, but there are also shorter ones", I told her, showing her the clothes.

After about 5 minutes of arguing with the shop keeper, she told my best friend that we should come back in a week for the first fitting. After that we left the boutique and made our way to her car.

"So, you said something about a location?", I asked her before getting in.

"Right. We'll meet Luke and Ashton there, because he also wanted to see it and his car is broken, so he asked Ash to drive him", she told me, starting the engine and I groaned. "I know you two aren't perfectly getting along right now.."

"Oh we are fine. We are 'friends'. Well he wants us to be fucking friends", I exclaimed.  "Anyway. Back to the topic. What kind of place are we going to visit."

"It's sort of a long ride so we have enough time to talk about your love life darling", Moni turned to face me and giggled. "But we are going to visit a mansion by a beautiful lake. Oh my god, I'm so fucking excited. I'm getting married."

"Remember that one time I slapped Luke in the face", I laughed thinking about the first time I met my best friend's fiancé.

"Right. Every time we argue I'm like 'Do you want me to get Jules to slap you or should I do it?", she joked, making me laugh even more.

We spent the most of the time during the car ride, telling each other different stories about our childhood and about everything what happened in the past two years. I have to say, I really missed that. Just talking and laughing with Moni about first dates, concerts and embarrassing moments in our lives.

By the time we made it to the mansion, my make up was ruined, because I cried such a lot. Don't get me wrong. It wasn't because I was sad, it was because the stories were just hilarious.

Moni parked the car near the entry of the house and we both got out, seeing that the two boys were already waiting for us. "What the hell happened to you?", Luke asked his girlfriend, while Ash lazily made his way over to us.

"We just had too much fun during the ride", she told him, taking his hand in her smaller one. He kissed the tip of her nose, making her smile even wider then before.

"I love you", he told her and she did the same. They were literally perfect for each other.

"Okay now lets go and visit the mansion", Moni wiggled out of Luke's grip and made her way to the front door to ring the bell.

And elder woman opened the door and she reminded me a bit of Molly Weasly in Harry Potter. "Well hello! I guess you are the two couples who want to look at the manor  for their weddings."

"No. Just these both", I pointed at Moni and Luke, before anyone could answer her. "They are the only ones getting married." She told us to get in and I was the last one to enter the house.

"Are you sure dear? You and this young man look like you are in a relationship too", she smiled at me, nodding towards Ashton.

"We are friends. Just friends", I replied to her, slightly sighting. Hell this friendzone really kills me.

"Friends don't look at each other in that way. I promise you one thing, love. Someday you two will end up together. I just know it", she grabbed my arm, catching up with the others.

As soon as we reached them, she made her way though the different rooms, with Luke and Moni following her like little puppies. Meanwhile I decided I would stay a bit in the background, because it was their decision if they want to get married here or not.

"So what did the only lady tell you?", someone whispered into my ear from behind me, making me jump slightly. I turned around to face Ashton.

"Don't you dare do that ever again or I am going to make you death look like an accident"; I threatened, but he just laughed at me.

"Oh come on. It wasn't that bad. Now tell me. I also want to know", he begged me, giving me a puppy look. "I thought friends are telling each other everything."

"Well, I never agreed to be friends with you", I said turning around, wanting to follow Moni and Luke into the next room, but Ashton grabbed my wrist.

"Why didn't you?", he asked me, making me face him again.

"Cause honestly I don't think we can just be friends. It wouldn't work out. Someone is going to get hurt and I'm pretty sure that isn't going to be you", I told him, trying to get out of his grip.

"So what are we then? We can't together and can't be friends? Am I a stranger to you? Somebody that you used to know?", he said, singing his last sentence. I always loved his voice.

I was really tempered to sing the chorus, but I decided against it, because it would only be awkward. "I don't know what we are okay? And I don't know what I want us to be. Over the last two years I spent such a lot of time thinking about us." I sighed loudly and he finally let go of my hand. "What do you even want us to be?"

"I know this isn't really the answer to your question, but if I could I would turn back time and not break up with you. Worst decision I've ever made, may I add", he said, putting his hands around my waist.

At that moment I knew what was coming and I was craving it. I wanted to feel his lips on mine. I wanted him to make me feel loved. I wanted him. Him all along.
