The Wedding Chronicles

AN - The Third Book of "In The End". This is just the prologue. The real stuff doesn't start until the next chapter. This one will be less gloomy than the other two, I promise. But it'll still be fairly angst driven, I promise that as well.

Dear Phil...

Hey man. How've you been? Got the latest CD the other day. You guys have outdone yourselves. Again. I hope life in London is working out for you.

I know we haven't exactly kept in contact over the last four years...but, well, this "long engagement" thing that Kimmi and I have been doing has gone on long enough, we both agree. So we're getting married in two weeks.

Sorry if this is short notice...but can you come home? Be one of my groomsmen? I know it's been a long time, but it would mean so much to me if you could be here on the day. The rest of the gang will be there. We all miss you, Phil. Kimmi didn't say anything about it, but you could tell she was shattered when you moved away. I kind of think she'd want you there. And I want you there, too. We've been best friends for too long to let the Atlantic Ocean separate us, Phil. Keep in mind I'm not taking no for an answer.

Tommy.

Tommy...

I've managed to clear my schedule - to an extent. Our tour ends in Sheffield eleven days from now. I'll come to the USA immediately afterwards. Hopefully in time for the bachelor party.

Phil.

Phil...

Tommy tells us that you're coming home for the wedding. Excited though I am tat the prospect of seeing you again, I'd be lying if I didn't tell you I'm worried. Are you sure you're up for this? I mean, I'm still no 100 sure about what the hell happened between you and my sister, but it doesn't take a genius to fill in the blanks. You do realize this is her WEDDING you are coming to attend? You were sliding out of control when they were dating. After he proposed to her, you just up and left. Are you sure you know what you're getting yourself into?

PS. Angelica wants to go on record saying: "This is a bad idea."

Chuckie and Nightmare,

I'm fully aware of what's going on here. I'm fully aware that this is the embodiment of everything I've been trying to avoid for four years. But didn't you tell me that sooner or later I was going to have to confront this whole situation? Sooner or later, I would have to face it? Well, now is the time I'm going to face it. I don't expect you to understand or agree. Just...let me try and work things out.

Phil.

PS. I think it's a bad idea too.
