A damn wedding - Eddie Vedder

"There's just one thing you should know, (Y/N)." Melanie, Mike's fiancé, tells me. I nod.

"Eddie will be there."

My face immediately changes from neutral to very fucking angry. That's what hearing his name does to me.

"I hope you understand that we had to invite him. It's one of Mike's best mates and he really wants Ed to be there.

"I understand." I say coldly.

Mel and I finish things up and head back home.

We were roommates for a long time when she met Mike. Through Mike we met the rest of the guys. Eddie and I got along very well and we eventually got together.

We were in a relationship for a year and a half when it abruptly ended. I told Eddie I wanted to move in with him, long story short: he didn't want to move in with me and ended it without hesitation. I still don't know the exact reason for it, but I do know that I actually never want to see him again.

I tell Melanie I'll see her tomorrow morning for the last preparations of the wedding and go home after that.

I took a couple of days off from work for the wedding, after all I'm Melanie's maid of honour.

Unfortunately, I just heard that Eddie is one of Mike's groomsmen. Of course, I could have known, Eddie is one of his best mates.

I decide to drown the thought of seeing Eddie tomorrow with some good booze. As my Chinese food get's delivered I take a seat at the couch in my living room and open a bottle of some good old whiskey.

The bottle is empty before I know it and as the headache gets worse and worse I decide it's time to call it a night. It's an early morning tomorrow and I don't want to let Melanie, nor Mike, down by coming there looking like a zombie.

The next day I dread going out of bed. I will be with Melanie the whole day and Ed will probably be there as well, for Mike. I'm trying to think of what I'm going to say to him, but I come to the conclusion that I don't feel any need to say anything to him. Ed really broke my heart, as cheesy as it sounds.

I get ready and eat some breakfast before heading to Mel and Mike's place. I knock on the door and when it's opened I'm met with and unpleasant surprise; Eddie.

He looks at me quite shocked. I look at him with an annoyed expression and make my way inside without speaking a word. Eddie stays in the doorway, baffled.

The rest of the day goes by the same. Eddie and I don't speak a word to each other and every time he is about to say something, my expression changes his mind. If he wanted to say something, he should have when he ended it without one (good) reason.

"Are you excited for tomorrow?" I ask Mel when we're packing up the last things.

She nods with a smile, "But I'm also shitting my pants." she says and we both burst out in laughter.

The guys, including Eddie, walk into the living room where Mel and I were. "Why are you shitting your pants, Mel?" Stone asks while grabbing a beer.

Mel and I can't stop laughing, but when my gaze meets Eddie's, I immediately stop laughing. "Nothing you should be concerned about, Steno." Mel says.

"(Y/N) and I are going out for dinner, our reservation is at 6, so we better head out. Don't mess the house up too badly, boys."

The laugh it off, "We'll be alright, love. I'll see you tonight." Mike says to Mel before pecking her lips.

During the whole conversation I feel a pair of eyes burning in me. I don't even have to turn around to know whose eyes are staring intently at me. I shrug it off and leave the house with Mel.
