Chapter 5: Denied
The winter weather had seemed to completely wither away by the time the next week rolled around, so here Robert found himself, sitting with Noelle, who lay coughing loudly, laying on a nearby sofa.
"You alright?" He couldn't help but ask.
"F-fine" She sniveled, staring back at him with teary eyes.
Robert looked away.
"Have you ever loved someone?" Noelle suddenly asked, peering at him earnestly.
Robert was struck by the question, staring at her for a moment before asking why.
"No reason.." Noelle couldn't help but blush under his watchful gaze.
"The invitations are going to be sent out today"
"I know.." Robert replied.
Then an awkward silence then took hold of them, leaving her question unanswered.
When Georges arrived home from school that afternoon his mother was waiting. "Georges… here" Mrs. Saphir handed Georges an envelope, her eyes boring into the ground. Georges felt his stomach lurch.
"What is it mother?" He asked. He wandered to his room and ripped open the envelope.
"You are formally invited to attend the wedding of……" Georges couldn't read anymore.
He couldn't stop the tears that came to his eyes, nor could he understand why his heart hurt so much, but as he lay there staring up at the ceiling, with the invitation clutched in his hands, all he could think about was the love of which he had been denied.
