So here I was packing for a trip to go visit my old friend Stephanie she was a daphire and well she's finally getting married to some moroi I think his name was Joshua I don't really remember. Nor do I really want to go but Tasha is dragging me to go with her saying that I need to cheer up and go with some of my old friends.

So I was packing I talk to Steph on the phone and she said that Joshua had insisted on us to stay at his parents' home. I didn't feel too comfortable staying with people I didn't know but steph said that it gave us more time to catch up so here I was packing for a weekend they were having a rehearsal dinner tonight so me and Tasha had to leave early in the morning if we wanted to make it.

As I finished packing there was a knock on the door. "Come in." I called and in walked in Alberta "Guardian Petrov?"

"Guardian Belivok I'm just here to inform you that Rose is taking the day off and the weekend to go on a vacation with the Ivashkovs she left yesterday night." What Rose was already taking family trips with them? I tried to keep my expressions as if I didn't care though.

"Oh that's good she should catch up with them they are like her family." I said trying to keep my jealousy inside.

Alberta was shocked by my reply "Oh…uh...are yo…you sure you're alright?" she asked I nodded. "Oh. Um okay I guess it fine then. I just go to let you finish packing." She said with a confused expression on her face and left

I made my way toward the SUV that me and Tasha were tacking and loaded up the trunk with luggage and climbed into the driver's side and pulled out onto the road for a four hour drive to the house we were going to stay for the whole weekend. Four hours in a car with Tasha uhhh she was a good friend but man the girl can talk.

I was excited I was going to see Josh get married Josh was like my big brother even when I was with Xander who was his actual brother he would always threaten him about hurting me. I loved Josh and excited that he was going to get married. His fiancé was really pretty too her name was Stephanie and we got along great. She's a daphire like me we always make fun of Josh and Xander saying things like 'daphire got the brothers whipped' or we make little whipping noises. I was staying within Xanders parents house they gave me my own room here when I was 14 since I would come here in the summers and winter breaks most of the time since I was 13. I was surprised they kept my room.

"Hey rose how would you like to be one of my brides maids?" Stephanie asked me while we were eating breakfast.

"Are you serious?" I asked my face showing my surprise I mean I was honored and all but we just barely know each other

"Yea Xander needs somebody to with him down the aisle and I'm sure he would rather walk you instead of his cousin." She said

"Uhhh… yea sure! Umm what about the dress?" I asked wondering

"oh it came in this morning I was already planning on you being one when Xander and Josh told me about you I guessed your size I hope you don't mind" she said completely shocking me further.

I smile "no problem thank you I'm honored"

She lets out a breath and says "great you and Xander will have to pick it up at the mall is that alright?"

"No its fine I need to go to see if I can find some shoes and some makeup and accessories oh and a dress for the rehearsal dinner." I said smiling "Xander after breakfast do you want to go."

He nodded and smiled. Hmmm? What was he up to I wondered. "Oh what should I wear to the rehearsal dinner?"

"Just a cocktail dress I'm sure you would look wonderful in one" I smile and nod

After breakfast me and Xander head out for the mall first we went to pick up my brides maid dress. I was a little nervous since most bridesmaid dresses (pic on profile) are horrible when the lady came out with it my mouth dropped it was amazing I grabbed it and went to go try it on. And it hugged my body perfectly it was gold and silver and was absolutely amazing. I showed Xander and let's just say his pants suddenly got a little tight I giggle at his response he got up and stood behind me and let my hair out of it ponytail "you look beautiful" he said kissing my shoulder lightly I smiled and leaned back against him.

Me and Xander decided to give us another try and so far things were pretty good. I was content. I sighed and decided that I should go change. I kissed his lips before I left to change. We left and went on pick up his tux and then went on a hunt to go find me a dress for the rehearsal dinner and make up and jewelry. We walked into this little boutique and found the cutest dress it was gold and silver (pic on profile) I decided that I should go with the silver and gold them so I bought some gold shoes and gold jewelry. I paid with the credit card I have from my dad he gave me a trust fund so I always have money. After we decided to leave

It was about an hour long drive and the party started in four hours so I would have 3 hours to get ready perfect I thought.

We pulled into Xanders drive way and saw and Black SUVs "whose car is that?" I asked Xander.

He shrugged and said "two of Stephanie old friends are going to be staying with us"

"Oh" was all I thought I grabbed my bag with my shoes and jewelry and Xander grabbed the Dresses and his Tux.

"You know can you ever come home and no go to the mall?" Xander joked with me

"Shut-up!" I teased back as I opened the door "Stephanie! The dress is amazing you have great taste!" I yelled as I walked in

She came walking out of the kitchen "Oh I know I do… I bet Xander liked it just as much" she said smirking

I laughed "yea he did I'm going to put these in my room" I said grabbing the dresses from Xander and walking upstairs.

"Okay come and eat lunch with us once your done I want you to meet my friends" she yelled as I was half way up the stairs.

I put my things away and went downstairs "you know if you pick wedding dresses like you do bridesmaids dresses then I think you might give Josh a heart attack..." I said while on my way to the kitchen I heard some laughter coming from there and then froze when I walked in.

"Rose these are my friends Tasha and Dimitri" Stephanie said

"Hey you guys." I said trying to hide my shock

"Oh you know each other?"

"Yea Rose goes to school with Christian and Dimitri Is roses mentor" Tasha said trying to not seem shocked as well.
