Emily POV-

1 month later-

Okay, so obviously we can't go to school. Because lots of people died.

This past month has been filled with funerals. Our principal, and some people you thought you just past in the hall.

Today, I'm going to find a wedding dress. How exciting is that?!

Also, my bridesmaids are going to find their dresses.

I was already showered, and ready to go! I was just waiting for Rydel to pick me up, with Lucy, Lori, Alexa, and Catie.

Rydel is the maid of honor.

Groups for walking down the aisle is;

Rydel, and Rocky. Because Rydel is the maid of honor, and Rocky is the best man.

Catie and Ross.

Lucy and Ryland.

Lori, Ellington, and Alexa.

I was snapped out of my thoughts, by Rydel honking the horn. I grab my purse, then run out to the car, and jump in.

"Hey y'all." I greet, with a smile. "Hey Em!" They all greet back.

Lucy was sitting on the floor, since there was no other seats.

-

We get there and walk in. "Hello, how can I help you?" A lady asks, I read her name tag, Jill.

"Hi, we're here for bridesmaids dresses, and a wedding dress." I smile.

"Okay, I'll be helping you today, my name is Jill." Jill smiles.

"Follow me."

We all follow her to the back, and there's a bunch of wedding dresses.

"Would you like anything to drink?" Jill asks. "Water please." We all say.

We set our stuff down, and wait till she gets back with the water.

Jill soon comes back with a tray of 6 waters.

"What would you like your dress to look like?" She asks me.

"How'd you know it was me?" I ask, laughing a little.

"Your engagement ring, sweetie." She smiles.

I look down at my left hand, and laugh.

The others laugh.

"Okay, I want.. Um, let's see.. Strapless, white. Umm, WITH SPARKLES!!" I explain, joy dripping off every word.

She writing it all down, on a notepad.

"Okay, what about the bridesmaids." Jill asks.

"Mid thigh, navy blue, and strapless." I explain, her writing everything down.

"Let's take a look."

-

I was paying for the dresses, as the girls were playing dress up, with some other wedding dresses.

I laugh, as I sipe Stormie's card she gave me. Since our parents are paying for the whole wedding.

"C'mon girls, grab your dresses, and let's go." I demand.

I think they were drunk on water, and excitement.

They get back into their own clothes, and grab their dresses.

Once we get back to Stormie and Mark's we run up to Rydel's room, with our dresses.

Stormie following.

"Girls get in your dresses, so I can take a before picture!" Stormie demands.

We all get out of the bathroom, one by one. Me going last.

Once Stormie saw me, she had tears in her eyes. "Sweetie, you look so beautiful."

"Stormie, it's not even wedding day yet." I smile.

"I know, I know. C'mon now, picture time."

We all wrap our arms around each other, and smile.

After getting back into our clothes, we tuck the dresses neatly in the back of Rydel's walk in closet.

So Riker doesn't see my dress, at our house.

"Hey, I'm gonna go see my Mom. Bye girls."

Catie and I hug everyone, since she was coming with me.

We walk over to Catie and Moms house, and I see mom crying on the couch.

I rush over, "Mom what's wrong?" I asked concerned.

She jumps, "Shit, I didn't hear you come in."

"Mom, what's wrong." Catie demands.

"Sit down," Mom mumbles, sadly.

We sit on each side of her. "I have some bad news. Very bad news." Mom sighs.

"C'mon, tell us." I command.

Mom sighs, tears running down her face.

"Your father died, from a bomb."
