You Are Cordially Invited Part Two
The big day has arrived, Valentine's Day, a day for lovers. Danny Desai and Lacey Porter have taken a long journey to get to this place. Danny was a boy when he changed Lacey's life five years ago. He was taken from her and she dealt with the pain the best way she new how but at the cost of losing her best friend, Jo Masterson. Jo was left behind without any one to turn to for help until another boy entered her life, Rico Rollins. He made high school bearable for her. Life was becoming more normal until Danny returned and their lives changed again. The girls realized that they needed each other and they had treated Danny badly. Everything worked out for the trio. Jo discovered a family secret that this boy, Danny, was actually her twin brother. He mom kept this secret from her father, Kyle Masterson. She promised her mother that she wouldn't tell him. Through all the darkness that Lacey experienced with dealing with Danny's return she realized the feelings for him. And at Fall Feast she discovered that he felt the same way. He hurt her, lied to her but he never turned his back to her. And he never stopped loving her. Even when she pushed him away to Jo, who was having feelings for him as well not knowing at the time of their connection.
So here they are minutes from the ceremony starting, Kyle Masterson has taken Lacey aside to speak with her in private. "Are you ready?" He asked, laying a hand on her shoulder. " Lacey looked at the double doors that led into the foyer of the church. She was nervous. "I'll be alright. Just nerves." She smiled. Kyle reached into his jacket pocket and retrieved a small brown envelope. He hands it to Lacey. She looks down and slowly opens the flap and out slides the necklace.
The last time she saw it was when Regina Crane wore it around school. "Mayor Masterson, I don't understand." She was confused. "Since the case was closed, I took the liberty of getting it out of evidence. Since it belonged to Danny's aunt. I thought he should have it so this time we know where it is." She giggled. "Well, it does seem to have a mind of it's own. But why aren't you giving it to Danny or Mrs. Desai?" Kyle looked over at Jo and Phoebe who were lost in conversation and didn't notice. "Danny asked me to give it to you since it belonged to Regina and she was your best friend. He felt you should have something good to remember her." Lacey held up the necklace. The gold sparkled in the sunlight coming in from the stained glass windows of the church. She looked over at the girls who now were giggling loudly. "Thank your Mayor Masterson. I think my best friend should have it back." Lacey walked over to Jo. "Turn around for a minute." She instructed her. "Oh, Okay." Jo said confused. Lacey then preceded to put the necklace on Jo. Reaching up, Jo felt the necklace immediately recognizing the piece of jewelry.
"Lacey?" Jo started to ask. "What is this?" Phoebe answered her. "That looks like Reginas necklace. Where did it come from?" Lacey smiled. "Jo's dad got it for Danny and Danny gave it to me. And I felt that my best friend should have it." Phoebe was hurt but also she understood. "Looks good on you Jo. I'm happy for you." Lacey didn't want Phoebe to feel sad on this day so she took off the bracelet that Danny given her and put it on Phoebe's wrist. "There." She reached over and hugged both girls. "We love you, Lace." They said in unison. Just then the doors opened and Tyler Lewis came up to them. "Lacey, it's time." He lifted up his camera and motioned to the ushers, members of the soccer team. They all sat in the back row of the auditorium. Lacey exhaled. She looked over at Kyle, who offered her his elbow. "Shall we?"
