These two months consisted of planning my wedding.
"Hey guys, are y'all ready?" I said, walking out my room.
"For what?"
"I have my wedding dress fitting today" I said.
"Wait that's today?" Beverly asked.
"I'm sorry but I have a lot of work today" Becca said.
"Same, my shift is full" Beverly said.
"I can go but I'm going to be a little late" Bethany said.
"You know what? It's fine, it's just my first fitting" I said, giving them a weak smile.
"Are you sure?" Becca said.
I nodded.
"I thought you were designing your own dress?" Beverly said.
"It's always been my dream to get it designed by Vera Wang" I said.
"Ohh that's right, well I have to go. Send pictures" Beverly said and I smiled.
I arrived at Vera Wang's.
They showed me a few dresses to get an idea of what I wanted.
I tried one on and I looked at myself in the mirror.
"That looks beautiful on you. Your fiance should be very lucky" the worker said.
I looked down.
"This doesn't feel right" I whispered.
"We can try another one, I'll go get one" she said and left.
I looked up and saw Samuel.
"Samuel" I said, panicking and trying to hide.
"What are you doing here? We're going to get bad luck, you're not supposed to see me" I said, trying to hide.
I got my jacket and tried to cover myself.
"No, no. You're fine" he said.
"What are you doing here?"
"I need to talk to you" he said.
"Are you okay? You looked troubled" I said.
He grabbed my hand and lead me to sit down on the couch.
"You're torturing yourself" he said.
"What do you mean?"
"I know you don't want to marry me, I can't see you unhappy" he said, his voice cracking.
"No no, you're mistaken" I said.
"Brooklyn, be honest. Do you really want to? Do you love me?"
I looked down, I didn't know what to say.
"I do love you, I'll learn how to want to be with you" I said and he shook his head.
"I love you so much that I need to let you free. I heard your conversation with Luke on New Years'. You'll always have feelings for him and I've tried to put up with it but I can't anymore. You're hurting yourself and I can't let you do that" he said and I started dropping tears.
"I'm sorry" I said, softly.
He kissed me.
"I'll see you around" he said and left.
I placed my head on my hands.
I went home that night.
"Hey, how did it go? Did you find your dream dress?" Becca said.
"No, there won't be no dream dress or wedding" I said, softly.
"What happened?"
"It's over" I said.
"What? Are you okay?"
"I will be" I said and she hugged me.
