Chapter 13

I woke up, and sat up tiredly. All of a sudden the phone rang. "Hello." I said. "Hi, good morning, I hope I didn't wake you." A lady said. "No, not at all, what can I do for you?" I asked. "We are doing a piece on friends and loves of stars, and we were wondering if you would give an interview." She said. "Sure." I said. "Ok, how long have you and Elijah been friends? How long have you dated?" She asked. "Well, we've been friends since we were in elementary school, and we've been dating for a few months now." I said. "What is it like, having a friend like Elijah?" She asked. "You couldn't ask for a better friend. He's always been there for me, no matter what. There are a lot of times when you attract a lot of publicity, but I wouldn't trade it in for the world. Elijah is just a great person." I said. "Last question, what is it like dating your friend?" She asked. "It's like any relationship. Your partner should always be your best friend because it really makes the relationship worth while." I said. "Thank you so much." She said. "You're welcome." I said than I hung up. Then I realized I wasn't alone. I jumped when I saw Elijah smiling at me. "OMG! Don't you EVER do that again!" I said trying to steady my breath. "I love you." He said. "I love you too. What are you doing here?" I asked. "Well, some really great girl lives here, I came to see her. Have you happened to see her?" He asked. I shook my head. "Nope, I guess you'll just have to settle for me." I said. "Fair enough." He said. "You don't think this 'really great girl' will care?" I asked. "I hope not." He said. I kissed him. "I've missed you." I said. "I've missed you too." He said. All of a sudden the door flung open and Dom, Billy, and Hannah jumped on my bed. "Come in, and jump on the bed guys." I said. "Sure thing." Dom said. I hugged him and Hannah. "Nice to see you both." I said. "You too." Hannah said. "What! No hug for me?" Billy asked. "I live with you. It's not new to see you. By the way I love the undies." I said. He looked down. "They came over early, you know I'm not a morning person." Billy said. I nodded. "Same here." I said. "So what's the plan for today?" Elijah asked. "Well, you picked a crappy day to come, today is Ryan's wedding." I said. He looked shocked. "Since when was Ryan getting married?" He asked. "Since 2 weeks ago." I said. "Well, I'll gladly come with you." He said. "Thank you." I said. "Fine, leave us at home." Dom said. "I'll hang with you guys tomorrow." I said.

At the Wedding

I walked up the steps to the church as Ryan stood there looking happy. I hugged him. "I can't believe my big brother is getting married. I'm so excited for you!" I said. He smiled. "I'm really glad you could be here. It's nice to see you too Elijah." He said. "You too." Elijah said shaking his hand. "Well, go get seats. Were gonna start soon." Ryan said pushing me inside. I sat down, and Elijah followed as the wedding started.

At the Reception

"Lijey! Come dance!" I said. I was standing beside him looking excited. "Nah, go ahead. I'll be out later." He said. I nodded, and went to go dance with Will, Mina's (my brother's wife) brother. "So how's life been?" Will asked. "Good, my fiancé is back for the weekend, which is great. You?" I asked. "Good." He said. My brother game over, and handed up some Champaign. "Thanks Ryan." I said grabbing the glass. The songs were playing, and the glasses of Champaign were being downed pretty regularly over the next couple of hours. Will and I were dancing to a fast song when I accidentally hit his hand and he spilled his Champaign all down the front of my dress. "Oh, shit! Sorry!" He said scurrying to get a napkin. "Will, it's OK, Will stop! I can handle it on my own." I said pushing his hands away from my chest. I ran off to the bathroom, and started cleaning my dress when Mina walked in. I smiled. "Having fun?" I asked. "I was." She said. "Why? What's wrong?" I asked. "Elijah just started shit with Will, and Will is kicking his ass." She said. I looked shocked. "I AM SO SORY!" I yelled as I ran towards the dance floor. I saw Ryan holding Elijah back, and some other guy holding Will. I walked up to Elijah, I was so angry I couldn't barely speak. "I can't believe you did this." I said to him. I looked at Ryan. "I'm so sorry." I said. "It's ok." He said. I gave him a hug then left with Elijah following behind me. When I finally got back home I turned the car off, and looked Elijah with tears to falling. "This is it, you ruined my brother's wedding reception. I can't do this anymore." I said. I pulled my engagement ring off, and put it on his leg. I got out of the car, and walked inside leaving Elijah there.
