Aliche P.O.V.

Kalin and I spent every waking moment with each other. He invited Melanie and I over to his apartment almost everyday. It was also great because Nic and Myles lived next door. Some days we would all spend the day together with Joey and Melanie, others it'd be just us adults while my parents watched the kids. The greatest nights, were the ones Kalin and I spent alone. We didn't do anything like kiss, we just talked. It was like old times when we were just best friends, before we began dating.

Kalin told me countless times that we should go out again and give us another try, but I always turned him down or just laughed. Inside, I agreed fully, us breaking up had nothing to do with the fact that we started dating in the first place. We were just apart for too long. I wanted to give us another chance. He loves me and I love him, but I also need to go back to Pennsylvania at the end of summer. I refuse to have a summer fling with my best friend and then go back to never talking again. That hurt too much.

Then there was all this stuff with Melanie. I talked to her social worker, he said her mother is still fighting to keep her daughter with her and they are still looking for the man that sexually assaulted her. My heart grows heavy every time I think of that monster. I know Kalin senses it too, because he will hold on to me and rub my back.

The time I didn't spend with Kalin, I spent with the girls or my parents. Right now, Kaitlin, Nicole, Lala, Nene, and I, along with some others are at a fitting for the wedding. I am her maid of honor, Lala is a Junior bridesmaid, and Kaitlin and her other friends and family are bridesmaids.

Luckily, my dress was a perfect fit so I finished quickly. I went out of my dressing room and sat down in the chair Melanie was supposed to be in, "Nic?"

She looked at me and raised her eyebrows, "Mhm?"

"Where's my child?" I tried to not let the panic rise inside. She had to be around here somewhere, she couldn't have gotten far. I looked around sort of frantically trying to find the little girl. Nicole began to laugh and turned her attention to the last changing room. "Why are you laughing!?"

"Al, calm down. Wait."

I did as she said and tapped my foot on the ground waiting for Melanie. All the other girls came out of their rooms and stood around us. Nicole kept her stare on the last changing room. I looked too just in time to see a woman walk out followed by a tiny figure in a poofy dress with roses along the waistline. She stepped up on the mini stage and spun around. Everyone ooed and awed and clapped for the child.

"Nicole, what's going on?"

"I don't have many young children in my family, so I didn't have a flower girl. But then you introduced us to Nene and I thought, why not have my best friend's daughter as my flower girl."

"Ms. Aliche, look! I'm a princess!" Melanie spun around a few more times.

I laughed at her excitement, "Is Myles OK with this?"

"This is my wedding. Besides he gets to choose the ring bearer. Who I said is going to be Joey," she smiled innocently.

"He's only going to go through with this because he's crazy for you."

"I know." Melanie changed back into her other clothes and Nicole bought all the dresses, having them be shipped to us the night before the wedding, which is in two weeks. "Come on let's get home so we can get ready for tonight!"

We are going to a club for a pre wedding celebration.

Sounds like fun, right?

I hope.
