My Awkward Fairytale. BOOK 1

Chapter 15- How everything was settled.

Chapter 15

***3 months later.***

I watched the door close and I let out a loud sigh of relief. I thought they'll never leave. After sitting through hours of studying different color schemes and making guest lists I felt like blowing my freaking head off. And this is just the beginning. We only settled on the guest list and the colors and I was already so stressed out.

I twist the ring on my left ring finger around. It fit so perfectly and it was such a beautiful ring. Nate did a great job picking it out. And the proposal was so sweet i just wish I was more grateful:

I wish I loved Nate, I wish I could give him that. But I can't. my heart belonged to man that was ready to give up our love, give me up; just to make his best friend happy.

And because of the decision, I cry myself to sleep every night. Not for myself and my situation but for him because I was his second shot at love and not even this worked out.

And I also hope that he at least finds someone that loves him and that he can fall in love. I wish that for him. Even if I couldn't have it.

I hear a knock on the door. And I tense up.

Please don't be back...

"Come in." i call out.

The door opens and Luke pokes his head on and walks inside shyly. My face breaks into a huge smile and I jump up to race to him an i fling my myself into his waiting arms.

He picks me up and spins me once. And I let out a laugh. I haven't seen him in 3 months I've missed him so much!

Once he puts me down with a laugh, is when I notice who's behind him.

Nate.

And his face did not look to happy with my reaction.

Crap. To play off.

I walk out of Lukes arms and to Nate giving him a a quick peck on the lips.

"Hey baby."

Nate gives me a small smile but it doesn't reach his eyes.

"Hey. Luke wanted to talk to you, so I'll let you alone to talk?" and with that he walks out.

I look at Luke worried. "I totally screwed that up didnt i?" i mutter.

Luke stares at me and nods once. "hell yea."

"Crap." I throw myself onto my bed. "Do you realize how hard it is to pretend to be IN love with someone? I don't know how long I can do this." I say trying to hold back tears.

"Do you realize how hard it is to let you be with him? But it's for the best." He whispers. " You make him so happy, I've never seen him like this."

"I know."

"I heard about the engagement, congrats by the way."

"Thanks so much." I say sarcastically.

"I want to tell you something. A story about my first love. What happened to her and what made me hate you."

"You don't have to" I mutter even though I was so curious to know,

"I'll tell you because I owe you that, an explanation for why I was so cruel to you. Are you ready?"

I nod. And he begins his story.
