41 || WEDDING INVITATION

1 week later.

"I'll get it." I say, putting the clean dishes inside the cabinet. I was at my mom's house for the day helping her do work around the house when the door bell rang.

When I open the door, I see Anne with a smile on her face. She grins at me and hugs me though I was used to it. She was always so energetic and loved giving warm hugs.

"Hello, Katherine." She says with a warm smile as I step aside to allow her to enter the house.

"Anne, how have you been?" I ask whilst closing the door. When I turn around she's holding an envelope. "What's that?"

"See for yourself." She grins, handing it to me. When I open the envelope, there's a paper inside in white. It had a lace ribbon securing it but from the looks of it, I kind of already knew what it was.

Harry & Kendall request the pleasure of the company of Anne Twist, at an evening reception to celebrate their marriage.

Please send this back with a R.S.V.P as soon as possible.

I hadn't notice I was speechless until my mum's voice joins us in the room. "What's going on?" She asks. I hear Anne mention the wedding invitation before my mum practically squeals.

I knew Harry was getting married, he had told me the night he - mistakenly kissed me. Why it was bothering me, I had no idea. I had this feeling inside me, that same feeling that I felt when I saw Ethan with that girl at the bar.

Maybe it was because of everything that's been happening. I am jealous, but jealous that his life turned out so much better than mine, and he's actually found love and is getting married to them.

Unlike me.

But as much as I told myself this, I knew it wasn't like that. I'm not jealous because Harry's life is much better, or because he's in love and getting married.

I'm jealous of her.

As I look up, tears filled my eyes only dragging Anne's and my mother's attention. "I'm so overwhelmed," I say. "I'm happy for him." I lie.

I was far from happy. I was hurt.

"This will be so good for him, this is what he needed." My mum agrees and that's only another jab to me.

I excuse myself to the bathroom before my tears fell. I had no reason to be acting this way. I knew he was getting married, I just didn't want to believe it.

I hoped he'd tell her what he really felt, I hoped he'd tell her what he told me. But I knew Harry loved pleasing others, even if it meant it would end up hurting him. He'd go out of his way to make sure that person was happy because that's just the type of person he was.

I knew there was no way I was getting an invite, not whilst Kendall despised me for being another woman in his life he was close to. But even if I had, I don't think I would've gone.

I should've never gone to New York that week. I should've stayed home and just had a regular week at work, instead I went and had that weird ass dream about him that made me see him in a different light since then.

I've never had a dream like that about Harry before that but when he kissed me, it's like it hit replay and all those thoughts came crawling back.

Things have definitely not been the same since New York. Damn Harry for inviting me, and damned myself for going.

The knocks on the bathroom door made me look up quickly, ridding the tears on my eyes and flushing the toilet so they think I was actually using it. "Yes?" I call out, turning on the sink and splashing water on my face.

"Are you okay, love?" My mum says.

No. I'm not okay. My best friend is getting married to a bitch, I'll never see him again and I think I might have a crush on Harry.

"I'm fine." I say, opening the door whilst holding a smile on my face. This was so fucking cliche. Two best friends, one catches feelings for the other - just think about it was making me sick.

"Don't worry, I'll take you as my plus one." My mother winks making me laugh.

"It's fine," i say, walking away towards the kitchen. Anne was gone. "I wouldn't have been able to go anyway." I shrug.

"How come?"

Lie. "Clean out week." Good one.

My mum nods at this, eyeing me one last time before walking past me. "I guess, if you change your mind let me know alright?"

"I will do."

"I'm making tea, you want some?" I smile and nod. I just wanted to spend time with my mother and not have to worry about anything else.

Still, Harry and Kendall's wedding invitation was eating away at me.
