Chapter 26: Party Gone Wrong

There is a little misunderstanding, my hearties! I just read my previous chapters and I found out that Jasmine's fiancé's name was Brian! But it was Marc in the first place. My mind is kinda off these past few days so sorry for the little conflict. It's Brian! Brian Sanchez is the name of Jasmine's fiancé. Sorry for the disturbance.

---

It's tonight.

My engagement with Brian is finally tonight. I'm just not so sure how will it work out or what the plans are though.

That final talk with Rune woke me up in my realisation that I'm just wasting my time mocking around and feeling depressed of what happened between us. So, I had a little help from my friends and they told me to give my fiancé a chance.

A chance that I might fall in love with him.

Which is I doubt that will happen. But, I still did tried though. Maybe it will help.

So, I started hanging out with Brian for two days now and try to loosen up a bit. Maybe if I became friends with him, everything will be alright. But just like what happened at the club, every time I feel his hand on mine, his presence and even just the way he talks to me...I just want all of them to be Rune.

Jeez. What is happening to me? How can I move on?

He pains me too much. I am hate myself right now. Brian tries to make me happy but, still not enough.

I know it will take time but...I didn't know that heartbreak is this painful.

I am in my room, checking myself in the my vanity mirror if I look beautiful. I already had my hair fixed and my vintage styled ball gown helps. It is actually a very formal party so all of the guest are required to dress up.

I don't even have a clue who will be the guests are. Maybe some from the politics, some from his side and some from my side. Although I didn't invite anyone. I kept on calling Ariana but it seems like she's busy so I didn't bother calling her again. I know that bitch had her own problems so I wouldn't let her be involved in mine. Although, her company would be helpful for me. She's the only one I can hear use right now.

My phone rings while I was applying some liquid lipstick on me and I saw that it was Brian.

"Hello?" I answered, putting it on loud speaker to place it down on my desk.

"Hey, I'm on my way to the party, your Dad said there are already a lot of guests waiting for us. You want me to pick you up?" He asked gently. Just like before, Brian sounded so afraid when he is asking me out. Like he's some high schooler kid asking for a prom date.

"I love to join you but I am still taking care of something. I will just meet you up at the party." I told him, carefully not to hurt his feelings because I was turning him down.

"Oh, okay. I will see you there. Take care." That was the only thing he said before ending the call.

I put my phone inside my sparkling gold clutch bag then checked myself once again in the mirror. I am satisfy with my whole appearance but I am not confident. And why is that? Jasmine without confidence is not me. I am always full of confident but something is wrong with me now. My mind won't cooperate with me though. It's like I'm afraid of something.

I always have the feeling of unsafeness. Should I be aware? Or should I just shrug it off?

I looked at myself in the mirror once again. Fuck, I'm not sure if I can go to this party with my head up high. Fuck, you can do this, Jasmine. I know you can do it.
