deliah! i'm getting married!


"woah! oh my god! what the fuck! no!" deliah began jumping with joy.


yes! yes! yes! tom proposed and i said yes!


"yay!!!! jeez mel! i am so so so happy for you!"


me too! like, i wish dad was here! he'd be so happy! he'd always talk about seeing me walk down the aisle in a long white gown.


"aww." deliah caught melissa into a tight hug, "i'm sure he's watching over you and his presence is always gonna be there."


yeah. i miss him so much.


"there are tons of things for us to do right now! there's no time to be sad!" deliah shoved away her laptop and pulled out a notepad and pen, "dress, decorations, guestlist, venue, cake, food, booze, stylist--"


telling jordan.


melissa had never dreaded doing something like that ever before.


"he'll be shattered, won't he?"


he'll go crazy. literally.


"but you have to worry about your happiness, mel. not his. you love tom, not jordan."


i love jordan too. but in a way he won't understand.


"so let's not tell him!"


no. i have to. he'll find out eventually. i'll go to his place.



melissa grabbed her jacket and opened the door to leave. but she stumbled over something. it was a pair of sunglasses. the same one jordan used to wear.
