Just hold it together, hold it together Reed. I kept repeating it but it would never ever make any sense. How could I keep it together? Here was the gift from the devil himself!
You Are Invited To The Wedding of:
Josh Hollis and Ivy Slade
Saturday March 24th 2009
Bring a Friend!
I was shaking, well my hands were anyway. I couldn't even see, the tears blocked my vision. Oh God, I was gonna die! This is what it felt like. I felt vomit. NO!
"Honey pie, did you find your letter?" My poor naive mother. "Yeah, mom. I found it"
"Are you okay sweetie? You sound sad" she wandered in the room looking thoughtful
I put a smile on "I'm fine mom," . She seemed to believe me. She smiled and waved as she left the room. I grabbeb the counter to keep from fainting. I needed to talk to someone, school someone.
"T.....T......Thalbot?" I muttered to myself looking for Constances number.
729-8329 I dialed it into the phone.
Ring.....Ring.....Ring
Hello? The sweet voice on the other side answered
Constance!
Hey Reed! She sounded thrilled. Great.
There's something I need to tell you........
.....................Go ahead . She was sad, I felt real bad. I still needed to tell her
I got an invitation today..........
Oh no, Reed. What is it?I couldn't say it, tears blocked my vision again.
Josh is.........he's getting married Constance There I said it
Silence on the other end
Reed, I'm going with you to that wedding, I don't care if you wanted to take someone else
There's my Constance! I smiled, then it faded when I remembered why I was on the phone.
You were first on my list, Oh! It's Saturday March 24th. So 3 weeks to this day
I'll be there Reed, want me to go to your house a little early?
I froze. No one had ever seen the Brennan house. It was old and crummy.
Um...I'll get back to you on that. Soon, I'll call you. Bye.
Bye Reed,
I hung up, this was going to be a long day.
