Super Long Epilogue: With You

Author's Note: Prepare yourself for an insanely long epilogue. Yes I know that less is more, but seriously I had originally written like 5 more chapters to this story, but couldn't get myself to finish. I didn't want it all to go to waste. So I decided to use certain pieces for an epilogue. I think this gives the story enough closure. Enjoy!

"San hold still" groaned an annoyed Quinn. She held one hand on my face, while the other placed a clip in the side of my hair. "Okay there we go" she said with a large grin. "You can open your eyes now."

"She looks great Quinn! Now San look at the mirror and make that face again!" Squealed my excited Aunt Lisa, "Keep looking in the mirror, this is a beautiful shot" She had volunteered to take the photos for us today along with my sister.

I had to do a double take. I couldn't believe how different I looked. My hair was styled in these beautiful thick waves. She had a managed to tuck in the right side with a jeweled clip. 

"Wow" was the only word that came out. "It is exactly how I imagined" 

"San you look gorgeous" said Quinn. I turned to Quinn and hugged her. I was so lucky to have someone like her in my life. "Now calm down, deep breaths and think happy thoughts" said Quinn as she let out a deep breath. This morning we had woken up to dead flowers, a wrinkled dress. It didn't help that I  was still recovering from last nights stress. Myself, Quinn, my sister and mother had to redo the entire wedding decorations due to the mother of thunderstorms that unexpectedly ruined any chance of a small outdoor wedding, even with a tent ordered. Needless to say, I was a mess. Lesson learned, if there's ever a next time it will not be outside and there will be an official event planner. 

"I cant believe today is really happening" I said letting out a nervous chuckle as Quinn spread my dress out and started ironing it. She has been a godsend through the entire planning. Her and Rachel both took over the party planning and had managed to help us plan the entire wedding with two months. Even this morning with at least 4 hours of sleep, she woke up to me nearly in tears, trying to iron my dress holding dead flowers. She immediately went into party planning mode and took over. "We are really doing this"

"Don't get cold feet now Sanny" Lisa joked before snagging another photo of Quinn.

I never thought it would happen to be honest." Laughed Quinn, "Then again after that huge fight you both had senior year, it was kind of obvious you'd get to this point. Once you finally stopped being so damn insecure."

"Oh god, I remember that fight" I laughed. "Seems like a really long time ago"

She laughed with me, "I think that was the longest you both went without being together. Plus it was what?  5 years ago."

It was pouring outside and the rain didn't seem to be letting up anytime soon. I had been sitting on my bed waiting for Brittany to call. Today would be the first time all week that we would get to talk and I had been so excited. With her busy workload, it had been difficult since the winter semester began to have any real conversations aside from simple text messages. We had gone from talking most of the week to having small phone conversations on Thursdays because that's when her schedule was the lightest. I unlocked my phone and saw that there was no answer to my texts and phone call from nearly an hour ago. She should have been out of class already and her off campus house wasn't too far. I hope she is okay. Maybe I should text Rachel, she and I had been texting a lot more frequently. 

"San, the girls and I are going to have a wine and movie night. You down?" Yelled Quinn. I stared at my phone again and sighed deeply. I missed Brittany so much and lately I felt like I was fighting this battle by myself. Everyone says relationships are hard work, but was it supposed to be this hard? Then again it could be worse, I mean it's only been like this really for a month. I guess that's the hard part, not knowing what should be normal. I mean, Britt was my first real attempt at a serious/ long term relationship.  Quinn had told me so many times that I should talk to Britt about my feelings before they exploded out of me, but every time I tried I always got the same excuses. It was just frustrating because it's only been a little over a month and it just feels like it's only getting worse. It was making my anxiety worse to the point that I would get jittery more often than usual. It's even getting to the point that I would overthink a simple text to her for fear that it would bother her.
