His Shining Star

11

January came around and there is more stress in the wedding than ever. I still have to go dress shopping if I want the dress to be ready on time by the time March came around. To be honest, I was not quite sure what I was looking for in a wedding dress.

"When looking for a wedding dress, you want it to be something that you can see yourself wearing for an entire afternoon and evening until you fly off to your honeymoon." Rachel began.

"Yeah, but I just know if I find the perfect dress, then bad luck will happen and I won't be walking down the aisle." I shrugged once again.

"Sweetie, why are you so stubborn? You and Jason are forever. You two will go the distance and grow old together." Kurt reassured me.

"Stubborn or not... I just can't shake this feeling that I know I am doing the wrong thing by marrying Jason." Sighing, I took out my phone. I was expecting a phone call from my manager sometime soon about another broadway show audition. This was the third time in the last half an hour.

"Cold feet... it's common." Rachel warps her arm around my shoulders.

"Who are you expecting to call you?" Kurt brought up. It was as if he read my mind.

"My manager is supposed to call me and let me know whether I got an audition for this broadway show that is my dream show to be apart of." I replied.

"What show?" Rachel asked.

"Beautiful!" I exclaimed. "Playing the lead would be such an incredible opportunity for me. It's been my dream role."

"I'm sure, you will get the audition. Trust me, from one girl who played her dream role to another, you got this if you believe." Rachel commented.

"But you didn't last a whole month." I chuckled.

"I feel like I was more of a one night girl." She took it as a compliment.

"Yeah," I laughed.

"Since you are having a beautiful ceremony in a traditional chapel, I say we go a little more traditional. Very long, sleeves, elegant. Slim fitting." Rachel suggested.

"Or we go more the royalty direction and get a ball gown that flows outwards and is strapless." Kurt chimed in.

"Y'all are just confusing me." I groaned.

"Trust us... we are going to help you find the dress of your dreams when you marry the guy of your dreams." Rachel reassured me.

We walked into the first dress shop and began to look at hundreds of one of a kind dresses. Nothing appeared to suit my needs, but which is odd. Normally, I love dress shopping.

Maybe it was the fact that I had always imagined me picking out my dress for a wedding Sebastian and I were going to have.

"Try this dress on!" Rachel shoves a dress that was sealed in a cover to protect it. I sighed and went into the dressing room. As I removed my clothes and slid on the dress, I realized how I still am wearing the infinity necklace Sebastian had given me back in high school. Maybe I grabbed it by mistake...? Or did i?

~Flashback~

After glee rehearsals, Sebastian and I were going to meet up to go catch a movie together. We both did not have a whole lot of homework to do. I ran home and picked up my dad's pick up truck. My dad was going to let us use it for one night.

I drove off to go pick up Sebastian. We figured we would carpool together. I honked my horn as he came out of his front door and came into my car.

"Hey love," I smiled as I leaned over and kissed him. "How's it goin?"

"Wonderful, now that I see your beautiful face." He smirked.

"I brought blankets, snacks, and pillows." I smiled.

"Why are you so organized?" He grinned as I backed out of his driveway and drove off to the outdoor movie location. When we arrived I pulled in at a spot towards the middle. We got out and began to make the seat of the truck comfortable for the two of us.

"What movie is this again?" I asked.

"Hairspray," he commented.

"I love that movie!" I exclaimed.

"That's why I convinced you to come with me tonight. I know you loved the movie." He got into the seat of the truck as I joined him.

"You know me so well, Mr. Smythe." I smirked.

"Well, you are my partner in crime." He wrapped his arm around my shoulders as we laid one of the spare blankets on top of our legs.

"You make me so unbelievably happy." I looked into those green eyes of his that sparkled in the moonlight.

"I couldn't be the person I am without you, Archer." He plants a kiss on my lips.

~Flashback Ends~

I stared at my reflection in the mirror. No, this can't be the dress. Because I have to envision myself marrying Jason in it, not remember things Sebastian and I did as a couple.
