ONE WEEK LATER
"Ok, try this one Amy. The lace on the skirt is gorgeous." An arm reaches through the white curtain and holds out yet another wedding dress. "Ok, this is the last one i'm trying on Sophie, we've been here for hours." I was in a wedding dress shop with Sophie and so far things had been unsuccessful, i was losing faith quickly, bored from pulling on heavy white dresses. It had been a week since Mark came to visit and i hadn't told Dan about his proposal, in fear of his reaction. I sigh as i step in to the dress, i slowly pull it up and to my surprise, i find it much lighter than the others. There is a sweetheart neckline, the dress is tight fitting, and hugs my slim figure all the way down. As it reaches the ground the dress spreads out and turns in to a train. The materiel is lacy and delicate, i smile as i walk out to show Sophie, and i know straight away that this is the one. "What do you think?" I grin, turning round in front of Sophie. She covers her mouth with her hands and stands up, "Oh Amy, it's so perfect. This is the one." She says, fix stated on my dress. "I know right? I love it so much." Then i remember something and my hand searches round the back of the dress, my fingers grasp the square piece of card and i bring it round where i can see it. My mouth falls open at the number printed on it, "£1000!" I say, shocked. "What?" Sophie says, grabbing the card to see. Her face falls as mine does as reality sets back in, seeing as my parents didn't support the marriage, me and Dan were planning it on a small budget, one that the dress would break. "Oh Amy, i'm so sorry." Sophie puts her arm round me, sympathetically. "I guess i should start saving up even more then." I say, i turn round and walk back to change back, disappointed at the thought of losing my dream dress.
DAN'S P.O.V.
"No! Defiantly not Dan!" Phil says as i turn round in a bright pink suit, striking funny poses. "Ok, ok. What would i do without you?" I say. Me and Phil were in a suit shop and we weren't really taking it seriously, trying on the most bright and loudest suits that we could find in the shop. "Dan, can we talk?" Phil asks quietly when i step back out in my normal clothes, well as normal as they can be. "Yeah, sure." I reply, puzzled. We sit down on one of the chairs in the shop. "Dan, over the past few weeks i have been in contact with a company that has shown a big interest in my YouTube videos." He pauses and breathes out, whatever it is, he is nervous about telling me. "They've offered me a job in their company, they want me to help to teach people how to make public speeches and make videos. They've offered me a large sum of money and i'll be working five days a week." "That's great Phil! Good for you." I congratulate him, but he still looks worried. "The job's in America Dan." He says, looking down at the floor. The room starts to spin and i feel like someone has just punched me in the stomach, "America?" I say, a little too loudly. He nods, not looking up. "Phil, why didn't you tell me about it sooner?" I join him at staring at the floor, my hands cover my face. "Dan, you were so busy with your videos and Amy. I'm not sure if i even want to take the job yet." I look up at him, "Phil, you've got to take it." I say before i realise. "This is a once in a life time opportunity, take it." "Well, they're going to fly me out next week for a taster, just for a short time." "Great." There is a pause as i realise that i could be about to lose my best friend. "Phil, just promise me one thing." "What?" "Don't team up with another good looking person whilst you're out there." He laughs and shakes his head, "Nobody could replace you Dan."
A quick shout out to my friend Alice who gave me the idea of Phil's new story line, thank you! I hope that everyone is enjoying the story so far and that i'm not moving it on too quickly. Please give me a review of your thoughts so far and don't forget to follow to know when i upload new chapters. Happy reading!
