34. The Wedding

It was finally the wedding day.

Claire had noticed the tension between Summer and Calum. That only could mean one thing- there was a serious problem between the two of them.

These past three days, either Calum or Summer had been trying to avoid each other as much as they could. Even if they were in the same room, they wouldn't talk or look at each other. It felt like they were going back to square one- the moment when they were hating each other.

Not only Claire who had noticed it though, all of the people who was going to attend the wedding noticed it really well. And Summer was really thankful that no one yet dared to ask her about the tension between her and Calum. She knew that everyone was looking at them with questioning look and deep curiosity in their eyes every now and then, but she shrugged it off like it was nothing.

She kept hoping that no one would dare to ask her about this tension between her and Calum until the wedding was finish. But sadly, God didn't grant her wish.

"You and Calum broke up," Claire suddenly pointed out when she was getting ready for the wedding with the other girls.

Summer closed her eyes and gulped hard as she felt the sharp pain in her heart. Her heart shouldn't have felt this pain so much because of the break up, but she already fell in love deeply with this black haired boy- that is why she felt really hurt when he decided to end their relationship. She wasn't even sure if it could be considered as one since they were only dating for three days only.

"Calum told me," Claire continued.

Summer slowly opened her eyes and stared at Claire from the mirror reflection in front of her. It was still hurting her to talk about Calum or their relationship since they only broke up three days ago, but she had successfully managed to put her 'mask' on so nobody could tell how she really felt right now. Thanks too the many break ups that she has gone through in her life, she thought bitterly in her head.

She put a little smile on. "Oh, yeah, we broke up three days ago," she said it like it was no big deal at all.

"Summer-"

Summer quickly interrupted Claire because she felt like she didn't like what she was going to say after this. "So, Claire, what do you feel right now? You're going to walk down the aisle in like what? Three hours or four?" She turned around and tried to look happy and cheerful.

She didn't want anyone to worry about her feelings. It was just another break up. She would move on from it eventually at the end, she assured herself.

Claire looked puzzled for a moment. She nodded hesitantly like she was unsure of herself what to do or what to say. "Uhm, ye-yeah, just a little bit nervous and happy," she replied.

"It's okay. The nervous feeling will gone the moment you stand beside Luke in front of the altar," Summer said and gave Claire a reassuring smile before she turned back to the mirror to check her make up.

Claire was silent for a moment. The chatters from all the women in the room, the sounds of heels clanked against the floor and the sounds that came from hairdryers filled the silence between them.

"Please stop doing that, Summer," Claire whispered with a broken tone, making Summer swallowed the lump at the back of her throat. "Please stop doing that," she repeated.

"What are you talking about, Claire?" Summer acted dumb. She knew exactly what she meant, but she kept acting dumb anyways.

"Please stop acting like you're fine while your heart is hurting inside!" Claire suddenly snapped. The room became silent immediately. All eyes on them with stunned look. "Please for once stop acting like you are okay while the truth is you are not- You are not okay at all, Summer!"
