Chapter 3

"So how have you been? " Rebecca asked Amanda, trying trying to start a conversation.

Amanda was worried about Emily as she knew how uncomfortable she was. She was only putting up with this for Derek as she knew Derek has planned this with so much heart and she didn't wanna hurt his feelings. But she refused to play nice with the two devils sitting in front of her. She didn't forget what they had done with her best friend.

"OH we have been very good actually. Happy In fact after losing all the baggage that town had bestowed upon us. Isn't that right Em? " Amanda said looking at Rebecca, hinting at the past.

Emily knew what Amanda was trying to do but she didn't wanna talk or remember anything about the past. It was already making her uncomfortable sitting there. Thinking about the past made her stomach churn in a non-pleasant way.

Rebecca on the other hand didn't think much of Amanda's comment.

" really? That's great. I and Dan here too are very happy in our lives. We're engaged too, look. We are actually thinking of having a destination wedding. You have to come to our wedding. It'll be great to have our friends and family there on our special day. " Rebecca showed everyone her engagement ring.

" oh good. You both certainly deserve each other. " Amanda said gritting her teeth. She didn't wanna ruin the celebration but Rebecca's cheery attitude annoyed her. The fact that she wasn't even try to include Emily in any of the conversations made her very annoyed.

Emily on the other hand, was relieved to for being in the background. if she could help it she would have made herself invisible but alas! a girl can only dream.

Although Emily was doing a very good job at being in the background, there was someone who was noticing her just fine.

Daniel couldn't believe that he was sitting across from Emily. The girl he fell in love with, the girl he wanted to have a future with. things got complicated when he got that offer from a big company. he wanted to surprise Emily, he thought she would be happy but Emily's reaction scared him. she was thinking of a serious relationship and he wasn't sure he was ready for that, and that too at a time when he got such a big offer from that big of a company. although he felt horrible, he made his mind to leave the town and her. When he met Rebecca, he thought he was over Emily, but Now, sitting across her, he wasn't that sure. in his eyes, she was looking like a goddess. he dress was hugging her curves in al the right places, her minimal makeup was complimenting her beautiful features. he wanted to talk to her but he knew she didn't want that. she didn't even look at him from the second she got there. Rebecca kept talking about the engagement and the wedding, he wasn't too happy about that either. it just made everything more complication for them to have a normal conversation,

he thought of doing something about it.
