Chapter 21
(A/N: Ha! I got it done two days early! Actually, I'm not done with the last chapter yet…but it's mostly song lyrics…so, yeah. Anyway, I spent all weekend on these chapters, so here's the first of the five! Haha enjoy! Oh and thank you for 10,000+ views! Woohoo!)
Claire had gotten up bright and early this morning to prepare for what was probably going to be the most important day in her wedding planning career. She had plenty to do, yet there was something very important she needed handled, and she knew just who to go to to get it. She knocked on Apartment 8-D.
A frazzled Mrs. Benson answered the door. "Claire? It's…eight in the morning what are you doing here so early?"
"I need to talk to Freddie. Where is he?"
"He's in his room, but he's asleep so I don't think you should-" She didn't have the opportunity to finish her sentence, because Claire ran right past her in the direction of Freddie's room.
She opened the door. "Good morning sleepyheads!" Brad's head popped up from underneath his blanket. Gibby was lying on top of his sleeping bag playing with a piece of string. Freddie was still fast asleep. Claire took a pillow from the floor and hit him over the head with it. "Freddie WAKE UP!"
"I'm up Mom, I'm up." He paused in confusion when he realized who he was talking to.
"Good morning Freddie. I have a question. Where is your webcam?"
"Over there, but why…"
"Oh, no reason," she said as calmly as she could. "It's just…I got a call from the Washington State Penitentiary this morning. And a Mr. Carmine and a Mr. Chaz wanted to know why they were not able to view this wedding from their prison cells."
"Did you tell them to go onto -"
"I did! But the catch is, they want to be able to see Sam, and they want Sam to be able to see them. They already have their webcam set and ready to go."
"But that means-"
"Yeah. I'm going to have to lug a computer…onto a chair."
"Haha sucks for you!" Gibby laughed. Brad threw his pillow at him.
(A/N:Just to let you all know, I'm really sick right now and my throat hurts so I can't talk, but I'm working through the pain for you guys! :) )
"Sorry to hear about that. Do you need any help with it?" he asked, getting up from his sleeping bag.
"Maybe, I'll have to see how heavy the thing is, but as of right now, no." She said, grabbing Freddie's webcam from his computer and disconnecting it. "Well, I have to be at Sam's house right now, so, see ya later at the school. 1:30. DON'T BE LATE!"
"We won't, geez stop screaming woman!" Gibby said, putting his pillow over his head.
"Then get up."
"Fine."
"Thank you." She ran out of the apartment and didn't stop running until she hit the Puckett residence.
"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?" Sam yelled as soon as Claire opened the door, scaring the hair stylist so much she dropped her curling iron.
"At Freddie's, I'm so sorry."
"WHAT? WHY? IS HE CHEATING ON ME? WITH…YOU?"
"Cheat- what? No! I just had to grab his webcam!" she said, holding up the tiny camera.
"Oh, okay. Wait…why did you need his webcam? Ow, you burn me with that thing again it's going to be going down your back!" she yelled at the hair stylist.
Claire cringed. She'd seen many bridezillas before but…none like this. "Because I got a call this morning and your Uncle Carmine and Cousin Chaz said they wanted to see-"
"I got the ice!" Carly announced as she walked into the room with Melanie following behind her. Both girls were already in their bridesmaids dresses.
"Great. Put it on my ear. It burns." Sam glared at the hair stylist.
"Yeah, so anyway, your uncle and cousin said they wanted to see your wedding and they wanted you to be able to see they attended your wedding in some way, so they had me get a webcam."
"Aww, they are so nice…when they're not threatening."
"Oh, boy that's true." Melanie nodded in agreement.
A knock came at Sam's door. It opened to reveal Mrs. Puckett, chewing on a piece of chicken. "Sam," she said in between bites. "someone is here to see you."
"Ok. Let 'em in." The door opened again to reveal an elderly woman in a fancy pantsuit with a giant smile on her face.
"Oh my god, J'MamMaw! What are you doing here?"
"You don't think I would miss my granddaughter's wedding, did you? And to think, we all thought Melanie was going to be the first one to get married!" she laughed to herself. "Oh, Melanie, that reminds me, how's that boyfriend of yours?"
"Ryan? Oh, he's just perfect. Yeah, I met him at boarding school and now he wants to go into school to become a veterinarian. He's so sweet. You know he's going to be at the wedding too? It's going to be so much-" (A/N: Shout out to my little brother Ryan, who when he was little wanted to be a vet. He's on the wrestling and football teams at our high school and is awesome at what he does there! Love you Ryan!)
"Yeah, yeah, enough about your nice little boyfriend. Carly, you have my dress right?" Sam asked.
"Yeah, it's in the car."
"Wait, you're not going to change here?" Claire asked.
"Nope, Carly got the key to one of the classrooms from Principal Franklin. I called the make-up lady and told her to meet us there, too."
"Oh, all right. Let's go to the school then."
"Okay. Come on J'MamMaw."
"Oh, that's okay. I'm gonna come later with your mom."
"Oh. All right. Come on let's go!"
When they arrived at Ridgeway High School it was already 10:30. Sam nearly ran into the door whilst texting on her phone when Carly stopped her. "Sam, be careful."
"Oh, thanks Carls." She stepped through the door.
"Sam, who are you talking to?"
"Freddie."
"WHAT? Sam, you can't do that! It's bad-"
"Relax, Carly. I can't see him. Geez, you'd think YOU were the one getting married."
"Okay girls, go in there now." Claire said, motioning into a classroom. "I'll tell the make-up artist to go in there as soon as she gets here."
"Thanks Claire." Sam said as she walked in, giving Claire a small hug. "Let us know if you need help with anything, okay?"
"Don't worry about it. Everything is going to be perfect."
Boy, how wrong she was…
