I pick up the ringing phone, diving over to my bed to get to it before it rang out.
*Phone Conversation*
"Hello?"
"Hey Jess! It's just me, Louise"
"Oh, hiya. How are you?"
"I'm good thanks. Look I heard about you and Phil and I am completely heartbroken for you love." I get a tight feeling in my chest at the mention of Phil.
"It's okay Louise, I don't really want to talk about it."
"Oh that's fine Jess, I wasn't calling about that really. I was wondering if you were free next week, I'm invited to a wedding with a plus one and I thought that it could be fun if we went together. What do you say?" My mood picks up immediately, I couldn't help but love a good wedding however, I couldn't shake off the feeling that Louise was only asking me out of sympathy.
"Wow that sounds great, but are you sure you want to take me?"
"Of course! Well, to be honest a lot of my friends are already going and we all want you to come too, so now you can!"
"Wow, thank you so much Louise! Whose wedding is it?"
"Finn and Jenna's!" She excitedly calls down the phone.
"Oh my God! Really? They want me to come?"
"Yes silly! So pick out a dress because it's going to be great!"
*Phone Conversation ends*
After arranging the details with Louise and more squeals of delight from both of us, I hung up and rush downstairs to tell Gran the good news. We go out for the rest of the day, looking for the perfect dress for one of the most anticipated wedding of all time. It was great to be distracted by shopping with Gran, I even forgot about Phil for a moment and I let myself smile.
The wedding is mainly all I can think about for the next several days. I picked out a light blue floaty dress that hovers just above my knees, a nude pair of stockings/tights, a pair of black heels and a clutch bag covered in flowers made out of sequins and I decided to do light waves in my hair and two small plaits braided back around my head. I was ready to let go of all of my sadness and the weight of the past month. This was going to be a fresh start.
