Shattered By Broken Dreams (Avenged Sevenfold)

Chapter 4

I was late. I was never late. It was Tuesday, 1.37pm and I was meant to be at Ana's at 1. The reason, I was pretty sure I still had a hangover from Saturday, I still felt terrible, and I sure as hell knew I was never drinking again.

According to Carly, things went from bad to worse between Brian and I, the more we drank. Carly ended up taking me home and putting me into bed. I was slightly embarrassed by this.

I pulled in the drive and checked myself in the mirror. I still looked like shit, but at least I hadn't had to cancel my appointments, unlike yesterday.

I knocked and Ana opened the door.

"I'm so sorry I'm late Ana, my last appointment ran over." That was a blatant lie, I'd only gotten out of bed an hour ago.

She waved her hand in the air. "Don't worry about it."

We went into a living room and sat down.

"Drink?" Ana asked.

I nodded, god yes, my mouth was so dry.

She came back in smiling. "So, we settled on a date Sophie."

Thankgod, that makes things easier.

"Great, I can start with venues." I dug around in my bag, I was never this unorganized.  I pulled out what I was looking for. "You and Matt need to look through these, let me know what you think."

She nodded, picked them up and began looking through them. "Sophie, what in the world made you want to become a Wedding Planner."

"Honestly, I'm an organiser, always have been, at school I was always organising everyone." I stopped, it wasn't like me to share personal information, I'm not sure what I was thinking.

The was a loud crash somewhere in the house. "Fuck." Someone yelled.

"Are you alright?" Ana called, she looked at me. "We're having our Engagement Party this weekend and they're trying to fix out the back up."

"Doesn't sound like they're having much luck." I told her, trying not to laugh.

Ana started laughing and Matt stormed in. "It's not funny Ana, I need to call Jim." And he walked into another room.

"Matt." Someone yelled, and I cringed, I knew that voice.

In he walked "Where did he fucking go?"

Ana pointed to the room Matt had gone into.

Suddenly he noticed me, and smiled. "Wedding planner, fancy seeing you. How are you feeling?"

That bastard. "Fuck off." I snapped.

Ana looked at me with a shocked look on her face, while he stood there laughing.

Oh god. "Ana, I'm so sorry." Shit, what was I thinking.

"Oh no it's fine." She said "But please explain."

"Nothing to tell." Brian said "We ran into eachother Saturday night and we may have a drunk a little too much."

Understatement of the year.

I nodded, smiling at her. "Tell me about your party?" I wanted the subject changed.

"Lilah has been organising it, I didn't even want one." I glanced quickly at Brian, he was still standing there, smiling at me.

"Lilah, well isn't she due?" I asked.

"Not yet, still two weeks to go." Holy shit, she was huge.

"Are you right?" Ana said, turning to Brian.

He shook his head. "Just curious." He turned and walked out of the room.

A door opened and Matt came rushing out. "Brian you fucking idiot, can you just do what I fucking ask?" He yelled, heading out the back.

I looked at Ana. Oh boy, this was going to be some wedding.
