The Broken Pieces novel Chapter 8

I walked towards Cameron apartment, and furrowed my eyebrows when I saw her standing at her balcony.

She threw stacks and stacks of clothes at a man below her as I walked closer I realized that the man was Tristan, her on and off boyfriend.

"Fuck You!" Cameron shouted from her balcony. "Fuck you and I hope you get a disease!" She continued to throw clothes over the bar and watch them fall to the ground.

Tristan ran his hands through his hair. "Bae, let's talk about this." He pled but Cameron continued to shove his clothes off the bar.

"Take your shit, Tristan! I'm done!" She yelled at him and I almost walked past but I stopped to talk to Tristan.

"Hey, Tristan." I waved and he turned his head towards me before smiling.

"Hey, Emmie Rose."

"Hey! Hey Emily!" Cameron shouted from her balcony and Tristan and I looked up.

She pointed at me then him. "Don't you dare help him. Let him pick it up."

I turned my head towards Tristan. "Sorry, wish I could help."

Tristan turned to me and shrugged. "It's okay, we all know she'll forgive me later and let me inside when she cools down."

"Yeah you're right." I gave him a sad smile and a parting wave before walking away. "Bye Tristan."

I don't understand how Cameron and Tristan always seem to fight and then come together in the end. It must be so exhausting.

I shake my head.

Not my business.

I make my way towards Cameron's apartment, before I could even make it through the door, she opened already and pulled me inside.

"Welcome. Welcome." She said as she walked me over to the couch and sat down. She patted down the seat next to her. "Sit, sit. Let's talk."

I sat down and smiled at her.

This wasn't what Cameron and I would usually do when we are hanging out at her apartment, we would usually watch a movie while eating popcorn. It's sometimes with Tristan, sometimes not. But it doesn't matter, this is weird.

"What do you wanna talk about?" I asked.

"Oh you know..." she drawled out. "Your wedding. It's in 6 months. Are you excited?"

I laugh. "Yeah I am. It's been a long time before I've felt this way."

She gives me a sad smile. "Yeah, long time."

I look down at my feet.

Well damn...

Cameron quickly caught on and changed the subject. "Hey... uh... you wanna watch a movie. I'll let you pick." I looked up at her and she smiled, not before wrapping her hands around me and hugging me.

I took a deep breath. Settling my urge to rush Yo to Cameron and ask all the questions that are running through my head, right now.

If she wanted to tell me what that conversation was about she would have, I have to wait until she is ready to tell me. I thought, trying to convince myself to be a good friend before leaving the suddenly suffocating bathroom.

I walked around the park, talking to the guest and asking them about the wedding. It was nice to get feedback on my work, I always needed to improve on something.

I looked around the wedding reception.

Both of the brides wanted a inexpensive wedding, but wanted something traditional.

So I worked my magic and got them an reservation at a nice church from a friend who owed me. Then I got them a reservation at the park for their wedding reception.

Me and my team had spent all of yesterday decorating this place with the brides wedding colors; Serenity pale blue and white. We knew that they wanted their wedding reception at night, so we put fairy lights all around each nearby try. I guess it added to the whimsical affect.

People continuously complimented me on the decorations which led to them complimenting me on my outfit.

I wore a sleeveless, short blue dress with grey wedges. The long hair I used to have years ago was cut into bob.

Usually at weddings like this, Tomas would go with me but this time he had to work. So now I'm here, alone.

I walked around some more, greeting and talking to some guest.

Just when I was talking to a lady about her 12 year old granddaughter, I saw Barbara and Kelly at the buffet table.
