When we got into the office Jesse was already there waiting. Lily went towards him and kissed him. They seemed very happy. Jesse stood up and put his arm around Darren…
"Darren, Darren. You are not going to believe this."
"What is it?" he asked.
Lily and Jesse exchanged smiles then took a deep breath.
"I want you to be my best man! And (Y/N) to be the maid of honor! Both of you are truly wonderful, so I wanted to thank you for it. (Y/N) helped Lily in her toughest times. You have served as a good friend of mine. Now I want you to do me the honor attending our wedding!"
Darren's face was blank. Jesse smiled as he waited for any kind of sign.
"I knew you'd love it!" cried Lily.
I really didn't know what was wrong. Why wasn't he excited?
"What's wrong Darren?"asked Lily.
"Oh, he's probably over-excited about this." I said.
"Probably! Aw, and you are going to look gorgeous in the dress!" she hugged me. "Well, I'll leave you two to continue on what you left off at. Let's go Jesse." She winked while leading Jesse towards the hallway and into the living room. I closed the door and looked at Darren.
"What's wrong?"
"I have to go."
"What? Why?"
I'm having dinner with Sabrina." He said while checking his watch.
My throat was feeling like a tight knot. Tears were going to stream down my face any second now.
"Darren, I thought we settled this!"
"Settle what? There's nothing to settle!"
"So what was the whole situation about?"
"What situation?"
"What we had a moment ago! What else? You kissed me…"
I really couldn't believe he was acting like this. He had never been this way.
"I have to go. I'm leaving out the backdoor, so no questions will be asked."
"You are such an asshole." I said as he opened the back door. He closed it back and came towards me.
"You know, I'm going to be nice. I'll still go to the wedding AND act like I'm still your boyfriend See? I'm not a complete asshole." he said quietly.
He left, but I didn't feel like crying. I wasn't going to waste my time on that. There was no sadness, more like anger.
