Until you call again. (Complete)

No Angel.

Jonny Marina was Tristan's best friend before I came and took over.

He was the second most popular boy in school and the co-captain of the soccer team, alongside Tristan. They'd been inseparable, until he started hanging out with me.

So it should hardly come as a surprise that he didn't like me. Tristan stopped meeting up with them like they'd used to before to instead hang out with me. And well, it didn't sit right with him. Understandably.

They still remained friends though. They didn't hang out a lot anymore but I knew Tristan still really cared about him as they'd known each other since they were kids.

It took him a while but eventually he'd warmed up to me. I wouldn't say we became friends, we just stopped hating each other.

He's the first person to know about my feelings for Tristan. I didn't tell him, he told me. I'd denied it because I wasn't really sure what I was feeling at the time but him saying it eventually became my confirmation.

Jonny was like Tristan when it came to girls, only he was like ten times worse. I used to tell Tristan that he was a player because he hung around Jonny. It was true and he knew it.

But while Tristan slowly let go of his bachelor days, Jonny seemed to only get worse.

That was why the world was beyond shocked to find out that Jonny fell in love and he's getting married.

I generally don't like weddings, but Jonny Marina's wedding is a wedding that I am attending. I need to see it to believe it.

So as Luke puts the Land Rover on park, I look around barely shocked at the many cars that are parked around. Luke and I didn't make it to the church because he had a meeting earlier but we made sure to attend the reception.

I haven't seen Tristan in over two months. I know he's here but I can bet he doesn't know I'm coming.

Let's just say our 'talk' didn't really go so great. He accused me of abandoning him and choosing someone I've known for just a bit over him. He'd said all types of bad words to me and I guess our friendship is on pause again.

The difference with this time though is that I didn't really let that get to me. I didn't call a million times and send text messages apologizing. I had nothing to apologize for. I said to him what I needed to say and he took it the way he wanted to take it, that was not my problem.

I wasn't happy when he started dating Meghan but I'd accepted it, why couldn't he do that for me? Why was he making me choose when I never made him choose?

Also, the difference between our situations was that I was in love with him, and he wasn't with me. So why could he not just be happy for me? Happy that after so long, I finally found someone and I'm over him. He's the same person who'd been telling me I needed to let myself be loved.

But now?

"Go to him then, and leave me alone! Don't bother calling me!" Were the exact words he'd used on me.

I listened. I didn't call, I didn't text and I didn't tell him I'm coming to the wedding.

So when Luke and I are pointed in the direction of Tristan's table to have a seat when we enter the reception, I know he won't be the most excited to see me.

"Thank you." We say to the gentleman then make our way to the table that's got four people sitting on it. I know Jonny put us on the same table because he assumed we'd want to be. We were always inseparable.

"Hello." I say once we finally reach the table and everyone turns their heads to look at us.
"You're kidding! Mia?" The girl I think's name is Lungi says and I respond saying,

"In the flesh!" With a smile then welcome the hug she gives me after. I recognize her from high school, she was one of the cool kids. "Look at you!" She then says in exaggeration and I blush at that. She then looks over at Luke after and says,

"I'm Lunga." In a play-flirtatious way making Luke chuckle.

"Hi Meghan, hi Tristan." I finally say after Lunga had introduced us to her girlfriend and we're now all seated. They'd been sitting there staring at us not bothering to greet back.

"Hi." Tristan says like someone forced him and Meghan just keeps quiet. Tristan's eyes linger over to Luke for a bit and I'm reminded that they've never formerly met. Recently that is.

Tristan knows him as some boy I've just started seeing and Luke knows him very well. He remembers him as the boy I was head over heels in love with and I know that explains his emotionless expression as he sits next to me.

There's a heavy and tense energy surrounding us despite Lunga's best effort to make conversation. The responses are one worded and they are not followed up with "and you?" at the end.

I look over to Meghan with a smile but she moves her entire direction to look on the other side. I haven't seen her since she threw a wine glass on my face. I've forgiven her for that but clearly she hasn't forgiven me for the thing that I did.

"Didn't you say she wasn't friends with him?" I hear her asking Tristan annoyingly after she'd turned to the side. She makes no effort to tone down her voice, clearly because she wants me to know I'm not wanted.

"I said I didn't know she was coming!" Tristan whisper/shouts back at her irritatedly. I seem to have been a topic of discussion in their household.

It's unmissable that part of the tension surrounding us has to do with the two of them on their own. There's clearly drama there.

"I'm sorry Meghan. I can ask to be moved to a different table. We don't mean to make you feel uneasy." I say after their little tense moment.

"That would actually be great..."

"No that won't be necessary..."

They say at the same time and that clearly angers Meghan more because she then says,

"She's literally done nothing but try to ruin us!" At this point they might as well just shout so everyone could hear because their attempt at whispering is a big failure.

It's so weird seeing Meghan so aggravated. I've seen her in about every other emotion but that. She's always been a sweet and happy person. I heard marriage can change you like that.

"And she paid for it. Can you just get over it? She's apologized so many times!" He responds and I wonder why he's now defending me. Wasn't he mad at me?

"Babe, I'm getting irritated. Let's go." Luke says to me. He's a calm person but you don't want to see him when he's angry, he can be ruthless.

And that's why I say,

"Uhm. We're gonna go," already standing up. Luke holds my hand to lead us outside but,

"Nugget stop!" He says making us stop in our tracks. There's something about how he said that that makes me want to go and hug him. He's really unhappy and I know it.

I'm now caught in the middle of  Luke holding on to my hand and wanting us to leave, and Tristan being miserable and needing me to help him.

I don't even get the chance to choose because Luke then goes the opposite direction in a flash to punch Tristan in the face so hard that he falls on the ground and passes out.
