So, this is later then I wanted to post it, but my mom is a computer hog, and currently thinks I'm doing American Lit homework, so yah. But here you go the first official chapter. The letter is in Italics :)


2:30 June 25th

Twenty-six year old KC, dropped the usual bills and junk mail unto the counter of her apartment. She held one letter in her hand it was forwarded to her from her parents, it was something that Riley had sent her. She slowly opened it in the envelope was a card and a letter. She toyed with the idea of leaving the card unopened and forgetting she was even sent it in the first place. She let her heart get the best of her and opened it. She opened it for what seemed like years, when she had finally managed to open it she read the words You're Invited. She dropped the card refusing to read the words below. She turned her attention to the letter. She unfolded it and read what he had written.

Dear KC,

As you read in the invitation, I'm getting married. I so desperately hope you come. I really hope this letter actually gets to you. I haven't seen you in seven years, and even though Jen has never met you, she and I both agree she wants you and Jackie to be two of her bridesmaids. We'd love it if you'd come down a week or two before the wedding to spend some time with us. I thoroughly understand if this is an inconvenience, and if you have you're own life now. I just want to know I miss you and I hope to see you there. Please call me, I'd love to here you're voice again. My number is still the same as it was in high school but in case you forgot its 565-555-2356. Also if you need a place to stay those two weeks my parent's house is always open, so if you call me, let me know, so I can tell them

Love,
Riley

KC ran her finger's slowly down the letter he sent her. He said he missed her and he wanted to hear her voice again, she fumbled through her purse to find her cell. She dialed in his number slowly, she stared at the talk button, before deciding to not call him at all.

"I won't call him, not now later maybe," she said sighing. She looked at the clock on the counter, 3:15 the numbers glared at her.

"Crap, I told Em, I'd pick Jamie up fifteen minutes ago," she said rushing back out the door.

"There you are Ms. Costonis, I was worried for awhile there, you're never late," seventeen year old Emily said when she finally made it to pick up her seven year old daughter Jamie.

"I'm sorry Em, I got the mail and I got lost in one of the letters."

"We all have those days."

"I think when I get back I'll have a phone call to make," KC sighed.

"Oh by the way I'm going to tour Santa Barbara college, the twentieth next month, and I can't watch Jamie that week."

"Well, that's actually a good thing, I'm going to a wedding then an old friend of mine. The wedding is maybe twenty minutes away from there. I could always take you, I'd pay you double if you can watch Jamie then."

"Ok, I told my mom I was gonna stay with my aunt and uncle, but I need to tell her I'm staying with you, but where would we stay?"

"With my friends parents."

"Let me clear it with my mom first."

"Alright, well bye Em. We better get home."

"Bye, same time tomorrow."

"Mommy? Where are we going the twentieth? I heard you telling Emily we were going somewheres, but where," seven year old Jamie asked as she climbed into the back of her mom's car.

"We're going to see mommy's friends Riley, Sam, Jackie, and Zach."

"Were those the friends you were on that show with?"

"Yes."

Meanwhile

"Riley, stop checking your cell phone," Jen whined annoyed with her fiancee's constant checking of his phone to see if KC called.

"I just, hope she calls, I haven't seen or heard from her in seven years."

"Well, maybe she doesn't want to come. Maybe she feels guilty, I mean I would."

"Yeah, you're right," he said putting his phone in his pocket turning his attention to the television. When suddenly the phone rang.

"Hello," Riley asked.

"Hi, Riley its me," KC said biting her lip trying not to call.

"I've missed you."

"I missed you to. But I called to let you know, I'm going to come down the twentieth if I can stay with you're parents. I'll call them, but I lost there number."

"Ok," he smiled as he told her a little bit about Jen and gave her his parents number.

"Bye," he said as he got ready to hang up the phone.

"Bye, Oh Riley by the way I'm so happy for you," she said his he hung up.

"I could cry," she said to the dead line.
