“Why do we not get to see each other tonight?” Frank asked.

“Because, you have your night out with the guys, I have my night in with the girls then tomorrow we get married.” I explained to him, again. “Next time you see me, I’ll be walking down the aisle.” I smiled at him.

“Come on Frank!” Ray yelled from the van.

“Okay!” he yelled, “Got to go.” he kissed me on the forehead.

“I’ll see you tomorrow.” I whispered.

“I’ll be waiting at the alter.” he smiled and walked out the door.

“Awe, you guys are so cute!” Courtney yelled. I smiled at her. “So what are we doing tonight?”

“Getting drunk, talking, other random stuff.” Sarah answered.

“You guys can get drunk, I’m not drinking.” I said.

“Come on, you’re no fun!” Katrina said.

“Nope. I haven’t drunk in months.” I replied.

“Fine then, more booze for us!” Courtney yelled.

A few hours later, they were all horribly drunk, stumbling around, Courtney ran into a wall. It was quite funny.

They eventually ran out of liquor and seemed to be sobering up a bit and I was wondering what Gerard and Courtney had said to each other.

“Hey Courtney, can I ask you something?”

“Yeah sure.” she plopped down on the couch next to me.

“You really like Gee, don’t you?” I asked, her eyes went wide.

“Wha- no- what gave you that idea?”

“Gerard.” I answered.

“Okay, yeah, I like him. A lot. But I didn’t want you to know because you just don’t do that to your friends.” Courtney started to ramble.

“Courtney, it’s okay. I don’t care if you like him. I’ve sorta moved on.” I smiled.

“Yeah…but it’s not like it matters. He said he won’t be with me until he gets you out of his head.” she looked down.

“I know, he told me.” I whispered.

“Then tell him to move on, please.” Courtney looked up through her hair.

“I did, I promise I did.”

“Then why does he refuse to be with me?”

“I don’t know; me and Sarah both have tried to tell him. He’s just a loser.” I smiled at Courtney and she smiled back. “He’ll get over it eventually.”

“Are you two done with the depressive talk?” Emily asked.

“Why yes, I do believe we are.” Courtney got up and started dancing with the other semi-drunken idiots.
