I haven't seen Claire in like over a year, maybe two and I definitely haven't spoke to her for like a year but this morning I got an invite to her engagement party! I couldn't breathe; Claire my like used to be best friend is getting married. And by the pic on the card he is fit! Drop dead gorgeous. I can't see what he sees in Claire but my god she's lucky. Yet like she's marrying at seventeen, seventeen! I'm still studying; the last boyfriend I had was my English textbook- literally. And then I got the biggest shock, like ever… Claire has been pregnant!
Oh my god! She's like the mousey geek yet she's been pregnant and marrying a fitty. I do feel sorry for her though because she lost her poor baby; that's so sad Claire always wanted a family. Growing up that was her dream; a big family. She wanted three or four kids, a husband, a big house, a pet… she wanted the dream. And the girl's getting it.
Mum and dad say I can go; but I'm sort of nervous so I'm gonna take my friend, Madison. I started hanging round with Madison just after Claire left; I was god damn lonely; she just left to go to TPU. I can't believe her though, she just left me. I was alone, we were always together; best friends since before I can remember. Then she went and I was lucky to get a text. And now she's getting married.
But what really hurts is that the back of the invite is a picture of her and Shane (I think!) with two others a girl and a boy. The boy is again fit; blonde, angel like… to die for whilst the girl is goth; not bad goth but goth. Her and Claire are giggling in the pic with the boys both laughing; under the picture is written in baby pink 'The Glass house gang; best-friends for eternity!'
It stung.
It's like she's just forgotten me; but then I look at the invite and think she hasn't. I need to see her and this weekend is perfect. I'm going to make it like it was before- I want my best friend back.
And there is an open bar; what's not to like?

Today is the final day to find outfits! Stressed isn't even the word. The boys are sorted but me and Claire are still struggling. Morganville definitely isn't fashion capital of the world but today it has hit an all time low. The stores have no beauty or even sweetness; so we've turned to the internet. I think I've found mine; it's lace with no back, super short and ultra glam. It's a baby blue but it's very, very sexy. The goth look won't work, but this look will. The heels are skyscrapers; all glitz and sparkle. Claire's found a dress too and I must admit I do feel jealous. It's shorter than mine but so, so pretty. Strapless with a corset style back; a tutu skirt, mostly net. But what is really spectacular is the fact that each layer holds diamantes; that sparkle when the dress moves- she really will be queen of this ball.
She's excited; like a little child. It's real now, her and Shane aren't just fooling around… this is marriage. I never expected Shane to marry; truthfully I saw him die in the cage for Brandon's death, yet Claire saved him! I expected to lose him; he was always fighting; with himself or someone else yet now he seems to smile more; they are each-other. Shane Collins- I just never expected.
With just four days to go, tomorrow is prep day… I'm excited. Saturday will be music, laughter, friendship; over and over again.
That's this chapter complete; next chapter should be the day of the party… should everything run smoothly?xx
