Thank God for Oreos and a cup of tea, for calming my nerves.
I go back to school tomorrow, year friggin' 11, which is why I'm cramming in updates now to make up for them slowing down due to coursework/revision and shit.
Thanks for all reviews and feedback!
'Thats an awesome idea! And I was thinking of, kind of, lilac centrepieces, for the tables?' Rachel said, taking a sip of wine.
'Definitely.' Lucas tightened his hold round her waist as they cuddled on the sofa. 'We still need to set a date, though.' He brushed a lock of hair out of her face.
'I've always wanted a spring wedding...' Rachel admitted coyly. 'Like, April or early May...'
'What about the 16th? A few weeks after your run ends.'
Since her meeting with Noah the night before, Rachel had felt much more at ease with Lucas, who still knew nothing of it. The way she saw it, it was just an event in the past that she never needed to dig up again. Which is why she totally didn't blush when she realised that April 16th was the date on which Puck had first said 'I love you,' all those years ago. 'April 16th...' she said. 'I like it.'
'You do?' 'I love it. I love you,' she leaned up and kissed him. 'I can't wait to marry you.'
'I feel the same.' He smiled. 'More wine?'
'I'd love some.' She handed him her empty glass and sat up so he could go into the kitchen. Contented smile on her face, she stretched her arms out behind her and rubbed a knot out of the base of her neck. As she turned her head she caught sight of something lying by the front door. Another plain white envelope.
That's not fair, she panicked internally. It's over between us. They said, end it. I ended it; They can't... Everything's right again... Okay, just forget about it, Rachel. Don't let it spoil your evening.
She lasted five seconds before leaping off the couch and grabbing the letter.
YOU'VE DONE IT THIS TIME. GET READY TO FACE THE CONSEQUENCES.
And there was a picture of her and Noah in the alleyway.
Her face burned. This wasn't fair. She had ended everything and even though she knew she should get punished she was so angry that the person had that control over her and was this bent on ruining her. And without her knowing who this was that was blackmailing her she couldn't do any damage control. She would have to face the fire.
Short chapter, but next chapter I promise the shit is gonna hit the fan and it will be a lot more interesting to read!
Love love love
