I was so stupid. How could I have let my mind wander? If I didn't let it wander I would've never ran into her. Our conversation was so awkward. And I almost spilled my secret.
I wanted to tell her everything I've been feeling and have felt for years, but if only it was that easy. I love her. I've loved her for years. I didn't want to be with her sister. I wanted to be with her. But things didn't work out that way. I had to be with Emmy. But now that she's gone, I have to connect with someone else. Thank goodness the ceremony is coming because I could use some distraction.
I walk through the door of my home and see a suit waiting for me. It's my favorite color, teal. As I slide into it, I can't help but think of what color Claire will be wearing. Her sister had worn a bright red fitted dress with lace sleeves and a ribbon around her waist. That's a night I will remember forever.
That night, I met Emmy for the first time. Her eyes sparkled. Her smile was so bright. I had then realized I was looking at Claire. When Emmy hugged me, I knew it wasn't Claire who I matched with, it was Emmy. I hugged her back and even though we were only 17, I felt like a lifetime had gone by in that hug. Once we released from the hug, I smiled at her. We then ate dinner and something didn't feel right.
The rule we broke was broken that same night. I regret it everyday of my life. I knew I shouldn't of have slept with her, but I did. Nobody knew about her and I sleeping together. They had thought she cheated and had gotten pregnant. She knew she couldn't hide the fact that she's pregnant so why drag me down with her is what she thought. In a way, I kind of wish she did.
