We arrive at the mall and start walking towards the bridal shop. OMG THIS IS REALY HAPPENING!!! We arrive at the bridal shop where Henry and his mother were waitting for us. "Oh Riele, darling, come here" I walk towards her and she gives me a big hug. "Come over here and try on your dress" She says as she drags me across the shopp to the dressing room. I try on the dress and look at my self in the mirror. It was a nice dress but i just didn't like it. My mum enters the dressing room. "well you look lovely" She says while looking at me. "mum" i say and she looks up at me. " How come I dont get to pick out my own dress?" As i say that she lets out a big sigh. "Hunny just go along with it. She's paying for your dress after all..." I nod.
I walk out of the dressing room with the dress on. Everyone instanly started clapping and complementing me. Well, everyone apart from Henry. He was just sitting there on his phone. He didn't look up at me not once, not even to see how the dress looked on me. Even though i didn't even like him, it still pissed me off. I go back to the changing room to take the dress off and change back into my normal clothes. When i came out, the girls were already trying on the brides made dresses. Once they were ready, the girls came out not looking happy with their dresses. The dresses were realy tight and and super short. They looked like they were about to go clubbing. Henry looked up from his phone with a smirk on his face and then started laughing hystericaly. I look at him shocked. But as i did, he looked at me too. When he saw me staring at him, he stopped laughing, then stuck his tongue out at me. He's so immature. "Henry lets go. We need to get your suit." Henry calmly gets up and follows his mum out of the shop.
Once they were out of site, Mia sits down next to me and says "Dont you think Henry is being a little bit TOO cooperative" I just shrugged. We left the shop and decided to go to a restaurant. My mother didn't come with us because she had some bussines to attend to. The waitress came to the table to take our order. "I'll have a beer" Katja and Mia look at me shocked. "She'll be having orange juice". The waitress nodded at mia and asked..."And to eat?". I quickly look at at the menu once more. " I'll have a chicken cury with-" Katja cut me off." she's having the roasted chicken breast with grilled vegetables on the side." The waitress writes it down and leaves. "What the hell guys!?" "I'd like to ask you the same. You should be careful with what you eat when your pregnant!" What she said made me think a bit. I'm actually having a baby. It really does seem hard to believe. After eating i went back home. I sat on the sofa, staring at the television even though it was off. My child might grow up unhappy without a father. What will I tell my child when him or her asks about their father? Will they notice that me and Henry don't love each other? What do I say if they ask? Do I just put on a fake smile and say yes? All these thoughts kept going on in my head. It all began to scare me. All i ever wanted was a happy family of my own.
ONE WEEK LATER
Henry and i decided to meet up at a coffee shop make a few last arrangements for the wedding. I'm so nervous. I bet he's not even gonna show up. I sigh and slam my head down on the table. "ouch" I guess i slammed my head on the table a bit too hard. As i lifted my head up, I saw Henry walking into the coffe shop. He walks over to where i'm sitting and sits down infront of me. "Lets just get this over and down with" He said emotionless. I sat there staring at him in shock because he actually showed up. "Oh, ok". I replied "So... how are you with the baby?" He asked while writting a few things down. I was shocked. I felt like i was going to get all emotional because he actually cared. "yeah, im great" He looks up at me. " "cool, my mum told me to ask you because she wanted to know." WHAT!!!
I knew it was to good to be true. "Henry.." He looks up at me. " Why do you hate me so much? We were once best friends and all of a sudden you turn against me and start beating me up and stuff. But t-thing is... i've always had a c-" He cuts me off "Look, I'm not gonna deny that i hate you, because i do. A lot. I know we used to be bestfriends and I'm going to admit, i did have good times with you. But that hole time you were only using me to get popular. So when i found out, i had to make sure that never happend" "I never used you!" I shouted. He looked at me in shock because I raised my voice at him. I never had the guts to raise my voice him because i was scared of him beating me up. He quickly stood up. " Everyone knew you were just using me!" I then stood up as well. "Thats not true. I've had the biggest crush on you ever since we met. I even had feelings for you when you called me terrible names, put gum in my hair, beat me up, shamed me infront of the whole school. I don't even know how i had feeling for you! I just did! But i didn't want to love. Infact, i wanted to hate you!!" He looked at me shocked and didn't say a word. I then noticed that i had tears streaming down my cheeks. Everyone in the coffee shop was watching us. "miss, are you alright?" A waiter asked. I didn't say anything. I ran out of the cofee shop and went home to cry. This whole time he was being mean to me because of rumours. I can't believe I just told him that i loved him.
