Hey everyone! Thanks to all of those who reviewed! I swear, I'm on a writing roll; I've been writing this story nonstop; I don't want to disappoint any of my lovely readers :)
By the way, I'm really surprised, but happy at the fact that some people actually read these author's notes!
And… Action!
.
The group had been getting together and chatting for a couple weeks now, and they seem to be getting along fine. Even Cammie and Zach had tried to tolerate each other, and found that they actually got along pretty well if Cammie loosened up, and if Zach got off his high horse, which they both did. But whenever Zach brought ups something about a wedding that would remind Cammie of the incident, she would tense up and change the subject. Zach would frown at this, wondering why Cammie always avoided the subject of weddings, even when her best friend was having one. But, he decided to just let it go; he would find out some time later.
The girls continued to tease Cammie about Zach, especially so when they actually started to get along, but Cammie would deny everything, saying that they were just friends.
.
The group had decided to meet up at the girls' apartment today, because Macey had said that she gathered some pictures of dresses and tuxedoes, samples of music, flowers, and cake; the boys had finally talked Macey into allowing them to pick the cake flavor and she could pick the design. She had reluctantly agreed, but had said that she was going to give them samples of which they were to choose from.
The group of eight were sitting around the girls' made-for-four table, pulling up miscellaneous chairs from around the house. The sound of shuffling and screeching as they scooted their chairs around were heard.
Macey had placed a tray, some papers, her Macbook, and bundles of flowers on the table. She folded her arms and said in a very business- like tone, "Okay, so after some research, I have collected some samples we can consider to choose from. She passed the pictures of tuxedoes to the guys, "Okay, you guys can pick out a style that you guys like, and all agree on. And be serious, because when you guys finish deciding, and I approve," She pulled the tray towards her and lifted the cover off to show the boys its contents, "You guys can try the cake samples. But don't just eat them. Decide which one tastes better."
The boys' eyes widened as they nodded and they quickly began shuffling through the pictures. Macey rolled her eyes and turned towards the girls. God, she felt like such a mother talking to those boys.
"Okay, first we have to figure out what flower arrangements and combinations we want. So I brought Periwinkle, lavender, and white lilies, dyed periwinkle, lavender, and white roses. And also some spray painted gold and green leaves." Macey begins. The girls grab a vase and start mixing and matching and arranging different flower combinations, while the boys had picked out their tux in five minutes, and were currently dividing the cake samples. Macey started playing the different songs that they could have the DJ play for the dances during the reception.
.
After a few hours, they finally had a hazy plan of all the decisions needed to be made, and Macey collapsed back in her chair, "Okay, I'm going to call or book all the people we'll be hiring, which are the caters, the hotel, the bakery, the florist, the DJ, the band, and the seamstress, and I'll get started on the invitations first thing, and also order the decorations."
Zach reminded Macey, "What about the preacher? Hello, can't have a wedding without him! He's supposed to have you guys say the vows and stuff. Such as, uh, ask for objections!" Macey, Bex, and Liz widened their eyes and tried staring daggers at Zach to make him stop talking, but he didn't catch on, and joked, "Haha, would you guys get pissed at me if I said I objected?"
Cammie jerked away from the table and said with a voice that sounded like she was about to cry, "Um, excuse me, I got to go, um, do something." Then she ran from the room.
The girls groaned and Bex face-palmed, while the boys just looked at them, confused. Liz nodded at the girls, signaling that they should tell the boys the story, "I'll go check up on her."
Bex glared at Zach, "Look what you did, you idiot! You made Cammie cry!"
Macey put ha hand on Bex's shoulder, "It's not his fault; he didn't know."
"Um, did I say something wrong? Why does Cammie always get upset when I talk about wedding stuff?" Zach questioned.
Bex and Macey sat back down, "Well, it's a long story." Bex started, "You know, a couple years back, Cammie was dating her boss, Josh, and they were pretty serious. Josh proposed, and we planned out her wedding just like we are doing now. And everything was going great until the day of the wedding, or more precisely, when the preacher asked for 'any objects to this union or forever hold your peace', Josh's ex-girlfriend from college, DeeDee, who he was dating before Cammie and was also in a serious relationship with, showed up and objected, and ruining the whole wedding!"
Zach gulped, he understood why he shouldn't have brought up the preacher thing.
Macey continued, "So that little perky, annoying, flamingo, decides to show up during Josh's wedding to profess her undying love for him, and you know what he did? Instead of telling her to get over him, he says that he still felt something for her too! And then he decides to elope with her! Right then! They went to Paris on their honeymoon, which was where they had planned for Cammie and Josh to go. He left Cammie at the alter, and guess what happened, Josh's family and friends started clapping because, apparently, they've always liked DeeDee better than Cammie! "
"You might think that finally reuniting with the love of your life at a wedding would be romantic, but how do you think it feels to be on the other end? The rest of the wedding was canceled, and Cammie had to talk to her family and friends and everyone that went. She had come home and take off her dress, knowing that it was all a waste. Josh came back a month later, married to DeeDee. He apologized and all, and paid for all of the wedding costs, but that hurt Cammie like no way imaginable; she moped afterwards around for a months! We couldn't get her to do anything; she just stayed in bed all day."
Bex nodded, "That's why when we started to plan our wedding, I was worried it would be uncomfortable for Cammie, but she's been so strong."
"Oh god, I'm so sorry." Zach apologized.
"That's alright, just be more careful around her now." Macey said.
"Well, we should go," Grant stood up, "Tell Cammie we're sorry about that."
Bex nodded, and they all stood up, but as the boys were walking out the door, Zach said to them, "I'll be right back." And he headed towards Cammie's room.
Zach walked down the hall and knocked on the door of the room with the door closed, "Cammie?" He opened the door to revealed a blotchy faced Cammie sitting on her bed with Liz patting her shoulder. The girls glanced up to see who it was, and when Cammie did, she ducked her head.
Zach sighed, "I'm really sorry about what I said Cammie, I didn't mean to upset you."
Cammie figured that Bex and Macey told him, and looked up, "Yeah. It's alright, you didn't know."
Zach looked up, "Look Cammie, I feel really really really bad about this."
Cammie waved her hand at him, "No, I'm not mad at you Zach, it wasn't your fault, it's just my problem. Can we talk about this another time?"
"Sure. Bye Cam." Zach said as he turned around.
"Bye." Cammie said.
Zach left the room and shut the door softly behind him.

Whew, that was the fasted written chapter ever. I think it just wrote itself! Even though I've been distracted these past two days because I just got recently obsessed with Pitch Perfect. I know I'm so late, no hate, no hate. But this chapter was pretty short. So I finished writing this chapter the day after I posted the lat one, but I had to edit it, which took a day.
So, what do you guys think about what happened at Cammie's wedding? I was slightly inspired by Taylor Swift's "Speak Now". I'm a total Swifty by the way! Love Taylor!
Oh, and I forgot to say in my author's note last chapter; happy (now late) 4th of July to all my U.S. readers! I totally forgot to add that because I was just finishing up writing that chapter on Thursday, and I had a sleepover the night before, which was when I found out that my twin sister and I might be slightly allergic to one of my favorite things in the entire world; cats. Which sucks. But I didn't and will not let that stop me from trying to pet any cat I see.
Enough of me rambling about my life.
Okay, see you guys soon! Make my day and review? :)
