Can we be together now? J.J

39. You're what?

*August 2020*

-Brenda's point of view

I woke up to the smell of Jackie's famous cheesy eggs lingering in the air. I smiled to myself knowing that I'm going to spend the rest of my life with him.

"Good morning, beautiful." He greeted me as I sat on the counter.

"Good morning, handsome." I replied.

"Are you sure that Ed is performing at our wedding?" Jackie asked as he handed me a plate.

"Yeah, I talked to him last night and he said it would be a pleasure." I nodded.

"Okay then, all we have to do is give out the invitations." Jackie mumbled with a mouthful of eggs.

"Well, we already gave out the invitations in Texas and Nebraska. All we need is to give them out to everyone who lives here in Cali." I replied.

"Okay, when do you want to give them out?" Jackie asked.

"How about after we finish breakfast? We don't have anything else to do for the moment, so why not?" I suggested.

"Yeah, let's go."

We both left the apartment, and drove off. Our first stop was Ashton's house. Once we arrived, we walked up to the door and knocked.

"Oh, hi guys! Come in!" Ashton answered the door.

We walked in and sat on the living room where Calum, Luke, and Michael already were.

"So what's up?" Ashton asked.

"If you didn't know already, Jackie and I are getting married. We're here to invite you to the wedding!" I smiled.

"Oh damn, congrats!" Calum smiled.

"Thank you! The details are all in the invitation card, and you may bring a date with you." Jackie nodded.

"I can't believe you're getting married!" Ashton nearly cried.

"I can't either. It seems as if yesterday we were all walking around Europe for the world tour!" Luke sighed.

"Jeez, you're getting old. Any babies coming soon so uncle Mickey can babysit?" Michael asked while pausing his video game.

"Not yet, but if I do let uncle Mickey babysit, you better not dye my baby's hair." I warned.

"No promises." He laughed.

"Anyways, we better get going. We still have a few invitations left to give out." Jackie announced.

I nodded and said my goodbyes. As Jackie and I drove to Kian and Jc's house, I got a call from Crystal.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Brenda! I n-need yo-you to come to my apar-apartment." She cried.

"I'm on my way!" I stated before hanging up. "Drive to Crystal's apartment now!"

Jackie nodded and turned the car around. I thought about what could possibly be wrong. I hope Matthew and her didn't break up. They're so in love with each other, it's sickening at times.

We arrived at her place in a matter of a few minutes. I quickly rushed to her door, and waited for her to open it after knocking. When she didn't answer, I took this as a cue to enter her apartment.

"Crystal?" I called.

I didn't get a response, but I heard soft cries coming from her bathroom. I entered the bathroom, and saw her hugging her knees in a corner.
