30. Wedding day
It was official wedding day. No I'm not getting married. Mallory is getting married. Carter asked about a month ago. It was a sunny day and they were at lunch outside. She came running in that day yelling.
I was sitting in my room talking to Jace on the phone when I heard a door slam.
"Jace I'll call you back."
"Ok." I hung up and went to the kitchen.
"Everyone come in here!" Mallory yelled throughout the house so everyone could hear. Everyone rushed into the kitchen.
"What I'm trying to beat Chase at Xbox!" Devon yelled before he even got to the kitchen. Chase trailing on in behind him.
"Mami guess what!" she asked as mom walked into the room.
"What is all the fuss?"
"Carter just proposed to me!" Mallory practically yelled. My brothers went back into the living room bored. And the girls stayed in the kitchen.
"That's great sweetie!" my mom said to her. She had gotten over being mad at Mallory. I just love fake tears.
Today is a sunny July afternoon. Mallory is standing in front of the mirror in the church that is set up looking at herself. She had the fairytale wedding dress on. You know big puffy white. Yup that one.
"Do I look okay?" she asked for the hundredth millionth time today. I know it is her big day but come on!
"Yes you look fine can you go get married now!" I asked in a annoyed and drastic tone. Her friend Elizabeth is her brides maid. My mom walked in a minute later after I said that.
"Mallory honey we're waiting." she said as she peeked her head in. Mallory nodded and started walking out. Thank you Jesus. My mom and I went to our seats in the church. The music started to play and Mallory walked slowly down the aisle.
"One down seven to go." my mom told me and smiled. I rolled my eyes.
A little bit later we were at the reception. We cut the cake and Mallory and Carter feed cake to each other. It was hilarious because some got in Mallory's hair. She didn't really like that. Elizabeth gave her bride's maid speech. It made us all cry even my brothers. Carter and Mallory went off to their honeymoon. They were going to New York. Weird I know. All in all it was a good day. Around eight forty five I went to bed and I fell asleep fast.
I walked into the high school and saw Preston. I went over to him.
"Hey pressey what's up?" he whipped around. He had circles under his eyes. It looked like he hadn't slept in a while.
"Oh nothing." his voice cracked.
"Where's Cara?" he is always with Cara.
"Oh she's sick." I nodded and said bye. I went to my first hour.
Preston was acting weird all day. Just like the world was going to end. At lunch he wouldn't speak and wouldn't eat either.
"Preston?" I whispered to him in biology.
"Yeah?"
"What's wrong?" his face stayed composed for the first time.
"I can't tell you."
"Well if you want to talk you know I'm here." he nodded.
I walked to my locker and opened it. I was the only one left in the school I thought until I saw Preston.
"Preston what are you doing here?" I questioned as he walked closer.
"Can you drive me to your house?"
"Yeah but-"
"Please take me to your house." he said as he interrupted me.
"Ok." I said I looped my arm through his.
We got to my house and went to my room.
"Close and lock the door Cambrey." he said. I gave him a funny look and did what he said. "You said I could talk to you when I'm ready. I'm ready." I nodded.
"What is it?"
"Cambrey sit down. I wish I had." he whispered the last thing. I sat on my bed next to him. He took in a deep breath. "Cambrey Cara is pregnant."
What! "She's what!" I almost yelled.
"SHHH!" he quieted me.
"What do you mean she is pregnant?"
"Cambrey?" I looked at him dumbstruck. I couldn't answer.
I can't believe it! One of my best friends is pregnant. How in the world do you answer that?
