I can't believe it, like I really can't actually believe what has happened in the last month. 
I've been working my ass off, not because I'm a role model of an employee but because one, I needed something to get my head out of Jensen and whatever girl he is dating. Two because I needed the week of vacation in June for Gen's weeding, so I thought that maybe from working so hard, my boss would give me the days I needed but no... the fat stupid man decided that no... I couldn't have my vacation so... I did what every good friend would do in this situation, and I quit.
I didn't really think about it to be honest because as soon as the little thought of not being able to be in my best friend's wedding appeared in the back of my brain I quit, no more thinking, it's solved. 
Gen almost killed me for that, because bla bla bla you're going to be a homeless person. You won't have money to pay your bills and of course I told her to suck my dick because I have my savings, they are not much... but enough.
I gathered everything that I needed, like literally almost everything that I have in my wardrobe was going with me this time.
Especially the fucking gorgeous dress that Gen got me to the weeding and I took off. Not really caring about the city I'm leaving behind because as soon as I get to see Gen in a beautiful wedding dress I won't care about a single damn thing in this world except for her. 
There's still a whole week remaining until the big day, but I need to help Gen in whatever she requires me to. So when I knocked on her old apartment, I was greeted with a pair of arms hugging me so tight that I swear I heard my ribs crack a little.
"Hey Felicia!" — I said, trying my best to hug her back with the pain that she was leaving on my body.
"Oh Jesus, I missed you so much, Claire!" — She said, making me laugh a little as I gave her a quick kiss on the cheek, this woman has been in my heart since day one, and I fucking missed her like hell.
"I missed you too, bitch!" — I said, looking at the other girls behind her, some of them I knew but others not so much, only for the videos that Jared sometimes sends me when he is bored around the set.
"Well, let me introduce you to some new members of the wayward girls!" — Felicia said, starting to walk around the living room. — "This is Kathryn, this one here is Briana and this other red head is Ruth, she's dating Rob!" — She said. The last part obviously a little lower, but I think that everyone in the room heard her, Felicia is the worst person to keep a secret, noted.
"It's a pleasure to meet you all!" — I said, looking at every beautiful woman that was gathered in this room. — "Now... where is the fucking bride?" — I asked, listening to the sound of heels coming from behind me.
"Right here" – I heard Gen's voice behind me, but I wasn't really expecting what I saw when I turned in her direction, she had her wedding dress on. Her hair was not perfect, but I couldn't even bring myself to look at her imperfections at the moment because the tears in my eyes were starting to make everything around me a little blurred. — "Are you crying?" — She asked, her voice was full of joy and I knew she was mocking me.
"No... a little bit, my eyes are peeing." — I said, hugging her as soon as she got close to me. — "You look amazing!" — I said, making her do a little spin for me.
"Don't waste your tears now, I'll need them in the actual wedding. You have to cry your eyes out because that way no one is going to notice that I'm crying like a baby too!" — Gen said, making my unshed tears turn into a mouth full of laughter, that's why I love her so much.
"So... what do you need me to do?" — I asked, sitting next to Ruth, who smiled at me, and I smiled right back at her.
" The rehearsal is in 3 days so... I need you to help me and everyone to make everything perfect, just like you always do!" — Gen said, making my smile only get wider, she's definitely making my ego grow.
"Then, let's fucking do it!" — This wedding needs to be perfect, like really perfect because Jared and Gen deserve it, and I'm going to do everything in my power to make that happen.
We've spent more time working around the big barn where the wedding is happening than properly chatting or thinking about something else.
So just when I entered the room for the last time that week, I realized that I haven't seen Jensen anywhere around in the last few days, and he is the best man. He is supposed to be here helping as well, Jensen is a terrible best man...fucking noted.
He never showed up, not for help or for the real rehearsal, what kind of best man is he if he is not here when the groom needs him.
"Hey Jar!" — I called for him from across the room, the tall man took his eyes away from his parents, so he could look at me.
"Hey doll, thank you for the help by the way... this is amazing!" — He said, hugging me tight in his giant arms.
"No need to thank me really, but that leads me to a question, where the fuck is Jensen? He was supposed to be here to help us and the rehearsal just ended, and he isn't here either." — I don't know if I'm being a little too harsh on him, but honestly? I would fucking kill him if I was Gen or Jared, and I don't know if I can really stop Gen from doing exactly that.
I watch the giant in front of me scan the room, and for some reason I don't think he is looking for anyone else but Gen, so she could save him from the question I just asked.
"He's not here yet." — He said, after a couple of seconds of silence, he knew he couldn't escape, not this time because Gen is in the bathroom retouching her makeup like I asked her too. — "He went to Austin to bring his parents and his flight got a little delayed, so he couldn't make it in time." — He concluded, and honestly I don't know which part of the answer was true and what's not because damn... Jared is learning with Gen how to be a good liar, damn you Genevieve.
"Oh... ok then. I just hope he makes it here in time for the wedding then, it's tomorrow after all." — I gave him a last squeezing hug before making my way back to the group of girls again.
I was actually happy when Gen said that she isn't going to have a bachelorette party because hell... I'm exhausted enough. I don't think I was going to be able to go to a party after working my ass off these days to make everything perfect, but honestly it was completely and totally worth it and I would do it again if she asked me to.
"Well, I don't want to be the person that leaves early, but... I'm exhausted, and we all have a big day tomorrow, so... I'm going to bed, ladies!"  I said, giving a quick kiss on Gen's forehead that was just so happy that her eyes were glowing more than the candles around the room.
"Goodnight Claire!" — They said almost in unison, which made me laugh a little, what an amazing group of girls I have.
"Have a good night my ladies and please, let's all look sexy as fuck tomorrow, maybe I can get a boyfriend to take home when the day is over." — I said, smiling, before starting to make my way out of the place that was just like two steps away from the rooms where we are all staying.
A big day is coming, and I can't really wait to hear them both say 'I do' tomorrow.
I just want them to be happy for the rest of their lives, and if they want to keep me in their journey, I will make sure they are.
