| Isn't it Obvious? Chapter 9 |
| Ding Dong! The door bell rang. Madison was ready to go, she hurried over to the door and opened it. "Hey Marie" Madison said brightly. "Hey Madison" Marie said and gave her a hug. It was awkward to Madison but she just went with it. "Remember call me Maddy!" Madison reminded, she didn't really care what she called her but if it made her trust her more she was all for it. "Ok, Where's Becca?" Marie asked. "Here" Becca said. She could imagine Madison's plan and would gladly play along. "Are we ready to go?" Marie asked. "Yeah let's go" Madison said cheerfully. "Ok I found this really cute boutique that had just about everything, i'm sure they'll have tons of dresses there" Marie said as they walked out to Marie's car, a Mercedes M-Class. "Nice car" Madison and Becca both said at the same time. "Thanks my daddy got it for me for my birthday" Marie said brightly. "Cool" Marie drove like a complete maniac, she hardly stopped when a stop sign came and she was horrible at stops and parking. "We're here!" Marie said brightly opening the door of the car. Thank God! Madison and Becca said under their breaths. The three girls walked into the store, it was nice and looked to be quite expensive, Madison looked around. It seemed to be European or something. "Bonjour Madmoiselle" A french guy said with a funny looking mustache. "Hi" Marie said. "Vous parlez fran�ais?" The name asked. "umm" Marie asked. "Non, elle ne parle pas fran�ais" Madison said back to the man. "Ok well we speak English" He said with a giggle he seemed gay. Madison gave him a dirty look. "I'm Andre, How may I help you ladies today?" "We're looking for Bride's maid dresses" Marie said. "Is there any catalogues or anything we can look at?" "aww yes, catalogues right this way" Andre said."Here are some, Please sit down" "Thank you" Marie said. "Feel free to look at them and if you need any help then please don't hesitate to call me or my friend, Mimi over there" He said pointing to a short fat lady. "ok" "Marie can i ask you something?" Madison asked. "Sure" "Why did you ask me to help you with this?" she asked curiously. "Well everyone says you're good at this kind of stuff you have good fashion taste and color coordination. Molly suggested asking Jaime, but Jaime said you were better at it than she is, so i'm asking you. I hope you don't mind?" Marie said concerened. "No not at all i'll enjoy this" Madison said with a grin. They looked through the catalougues, Madison saw a million horrible dresses that she could suggest to Marie and she thought of stupid stories that would fit the situation to make them sound nice. The as she saw her search through the catalogues and speak of Justin Madison got the guilt trip. "So who are the bride's maids?" Becca asked. "Oh a bunch of my girlfriends, you guys'll have to meet them sometime" Marie said cheerfully, she was obviously a good friend. She was perfect, so perfect it made Madison sick. I can't do this to her Madison thought she's too nice! She's never done anything to me, well she took justin but that was my fault! The searched for dresses for about an hour and found the perfect one. It was a pastel yellow, the wedding colors were yellow and white, and it was sleevless with little flowers embroidered at the top. "This one's nice" Madison suggested. "Oh my it's perfect and it'll look lovely on my friends" Marie said excitedly. Madison looked at her with envy, she hid it very well but inside she was dying. She wanted to be the one looking for dresses and she wanted to be the one that got to choose and got to walk down the isle but she couldn't she made one mistake and it ruined everything. At that moment Madison felt like crying, but she couldn't. She couldn't show her feelings. "I want these ones i'll have to come back with all the bride's maids" Marie said. "Ok" Madison said. "Thank you so much Maddy" She said and gave her a hug. As Marie hugged her, Madison felt even more guilty. Marie thought she was her friend but all she really wanted was her man. Madison felt terrible, but she still wanted justin back more than anything. It was so confusin. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Madison and Becca went home. "I feel guilty, Becca" Madison said when they walked in the door and plopped down on the couch. "Why?" Becca asked. "Because, she seems so happy and she just i don' t know and it frusterates me!" Madison said. "Why does she have to be with him? Why can't it be someone mean or something or someone who isn't so perfect or doesn't make you feel so damn guilty" "Madison if you really want Justin back it shouldn't matter" Becca said. "You don't understand how much i want him back, but then she's so nice and so sweet and innocent. Does he really want that? Jeez I would give anything to go back and not leave. Did you know we could have probably been married by now!" Madison said. "Yeah but there is also a million other things that could have happened it's that whole quantum physics thing" Becca said. "Yeah i know, I'm hungry" Madison said out of the blue. "that was kinda random" Becca said with a laugh. "I'm gonna go get Baja Grill you want some?" Madison asked getting up. "No thanks i'm not hungry if i get hungry later i'll just find something here. Plus I have to call my mom cause i haven't talked to her in a long time." Becca said. "Ok i'll be back later" Madison said and grabbed her keys. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Madison went to Baja Grill and got her dinner. She went back home and as she was walking to her door she saw something on her porch it was kind or dark so she couldn't make out what it was. She walked closer... It was Prince! "Jeez Prince you scared me half to death" Madison said. He lifted his head and licked her hand. "Hey Madison" Someone said. She turned around to find Justin walking out of his car. "Oh Hey you're dog's here again" Madison said. "Again?" Justin asked. "Yep" She laughed. He walked over. "What's up?" He asked "Nothing much I just got dinner and stuff" Madison said holding up the bag. "Oh cool me too" Justin said holding up his bag of Chinese food. "Do you wanna give me some company?" "Umm... Sure" Madison said with a smile. "Good. Because you know i haven't really seen you in a long time and stuff" Justin said. "Ok that's fine" She said casually, in her mind she was jumping up and down. "Come on" He said as he grabbed Prince by the collar when he refused to move and dragged him along. They went to Justin's back yard and sat on the table near the pool. They started eating. "Madison can I ask you something?" Justin asked. "You just did" Madison said with a laugh and Justin smiled at her. "Why did you leave?" Justin asked. She dreaded the topic, but sooner or later it had to be cleared up. "It was too much. I had to get away, take my mind away from everything. All the stress, the lies, everything. And i just needed to get away for a while. Justin it wasn't you" Madison said. "I know it wasn't me, I just really wanted to know why" Justin said and took a bite of food. "Well look on the bright side, if i hadn't left you might not be with Marie now and you might now be getting married." Madison said. Yeah i'd be getting married to you! Justin thought. "Yeah i guess you're right" Justin sighed. Madison was surprised at his tone, it was as if he wasn't happy. "How did you meet Marie?" Madison asked. "Her dad, Patrick, Pat" Justin said "He works in the music industry i met her at a night party type/convention/get together thing" "Oh that's cool" Madison said and took a bite of food so she wouldn't have to say anything else. "Madison i'm glad we can still be friends" Justin said with a smile. "yeah me too" Madison said. They finished eating and Madison went home. The rest of the night she thought about her conversation with Justin. Was he really happy with Marie? He had an odd tone in his voice when Madison mentioned the "Well look on the bright side, if i hadn't left you might not be with Marie now and you might now be getting married." She was dying to figure out what it meant... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
