Sarah left me soon after Sebastian left as she had to attend an urgent meeting in the office on Sebastian's behalf. Sebastian is on leave and Sarah has to work on his behalf as well. The rest of the day I spent in my room thinking of all the possible ways to break the news of my marriage to my best friends. I could call them and tell them but it would be too much for me too handle, if the one I call first gets too angry. I wouldn't be able to make the call to the second one. But the other problem in calling was, I don't think I can hear their angry voices so I decided to text them in our group.
I quickly opened our group and texted a simple 'hi' and anxiously waited for their response.
'Look Hayden who decided to text us.' Came Chloe's text first in few seconds and I waited for Hayden.
"Hey Katie "A Few seconds later Hayden's text too came.
"Nothing much and I am sorry I wasn't texting or calling but I do have a reason." I sent praying the lords in heaven that it goes well.
"And what are those reasons?" Came Hayden's text first.
'You are sounding so weird today.' Chloe said.
A hold a deep breath and clutched my Mum's pendant in my hand as I attached a picture of mine and Sebastian of our wedding day and send it to them.
'I got married.' I wrote and for few seconds which turned into minutes, no one replied.
'You did a great job in photoshopping this...this looks so real. BTW who is this hot guy in the picture?' Chloe's text came and a small part of me felt weird when she called Sebastian 'hot'.
'It's real Chloe... I got married..." I wrote and this time it was Hayden who's reply came first.
'This isn't a joke Katie...what the hell is this and is he?'
'He is Sebastian Walter, we got married yesterday.' I send it and at the same moment my phone rang from Chloe and with shivery hands I answered her call.
"What the hell is this Katie? Sebastian? Who is he?" She shouted and before I could reply she continued.
"Let me put Hayden on the call too. He is going nuts." She put my call on hold and added Hayden's so that the three of us were at the conference.
"Katie...are you there?" I heard Hayden's voice and my nervousness doubled.
"Y-yes."
"It's a really kiddish prank, Katie. I hope you know that." He said.
"But it's not Hayden...it happened so suddenly that..."
"That you ended up marrying a complete stranger Katie?" Chloe interjected angrily making me want to cry.
"He is not a stranger...H-He is Ken's friend."
"You don't even know your Ken?"
"Chloe please let her speak..." Hayden interjected. "Katie...you speak and tell us everything in detail."
"I...I didn't want to...Ken and Dad wanted me to marry Sebastian and I agreed." I said not wanting to go into the details of his marriage.
"And why?" He asked me patiently.
"Ken and Sebastian are best friends and they wanted to expand their business together." I told them.
"And who are you? A business merger?" Chloe spat and angrily and I began crying. In our friendship of so many years, we never fought. They were the one who used to wipe my tears and today they are unintentionally but making me cry.
