Chapter 24:

Daddy was right of course a little more than a month later Henry got over his curiosity about Cassie and was all mine again. I'd be lying if the evil part of me didn't relish in that fact, although that same part of me that's known for being a little impatient wouldn't have minded if she'd been gone from his life a lot sooner. I was of course the first person Henry called after he broke up with her and he was at my house less than two days later after seeing her all over some other guy.

Needless to say for the rest of the school year it was just the two of us and I for one couldn't have been any happier. That's probably why less than a week after the school year ended I was getting ready to start off my summer vacation in New Orleans with Henry and his family just like I've done more than once in the past.

3 years ago…

"Daddy, it's only two weeks," I exclaimed as he watched me finish up my packing from the doorway to my room.

"Yeah but I'm used to being the one going away not the other way around," My dad explained as if that made perfect sense as he stepped further into my room.

Smiling I paused and turned to face him before saying, "Don't worry before you know it you'll be picking me up at the airport in Chicago and we'll be at the wedding."

He nodded in response before saying, "I still don't know what's wrong with the kid. Getting married at 20 is crazy."

"He's in love," I said referring to my older cousin DJ, "And you have to admit Kate and him are adorable together."

"No he doesn't because it's disgusting," Darron piped up as he stuck his head in.

Rolling my eyes in response I gave them both an exasperated look before saying, "Well I happen to think it's beautiful."

"That's because you're a romantic like your mother," My dad said with a smile.

"And you wouldn't have it any other way," I quipped back before ordering them both out of my room. I still had plenty to do and needed to make sure I didn't anything and I always did if I let them distract me too long.

Once they were out in the hallway I heard my brother not so quietly ask my dad, "So Dad who's going to cry more at the wedding, Mags, Mom, or Aunt Sarah?"

"Still too soon to call that one," I heard my dad answer as I shook my head at the two of them.

In the morning Henry and his parents picked me up and I spent the next two weeks in New Orleans having a blast, the city its self is just a fun place to be between the history, the food, and the people; not mention the fact that I also happened to have one of the best guy's in the world there with me for company. Well it's no wonder I had so much fun and that of course explains why I was it was a bit bittersweet for me when Henry dropped me off at the airport.

Later on that day when I arrived at my grandmother's house she greeted me with a warm hug as always before asking where Henry was.

"Oh he's spending another two weeks down in New Orleans," I answered, "But he told me to give you his love."

"He's a good boy that one," My grandmother said subtly hinting at something else I'm sure but I didn't dwell on that.

Instead I just followed her inside the house and was greeted by the rest of the family.

For the rest of the time we were there it was fairly busy with everyone pitching in to take care of last minute details for the wedding. Three days later when the wedding happened I still don't think my brother got the answer to the earlier question he posed to my dad. All I know is that my mom, my aunt and I cried through the entire ceremony.
