Jeans POV
"Hurry up girls, we are getting late ", mum said as she popped her head at the door ".
"We are coming, give as a few minutes ", Cassie my best friend said as she was helping me with my zipper.
It had been a tedious day for Cassie and I .We had gone to the spur for a makeover , after all today was my engagement party.
She was my childhood friend and we had been through crazy stuff but we still stuck together through thick and thin. She was stirred when I told her how Taylor proposed and she was so eager to help with the preparations needed for the party.

8hours earlier
I woke up drowsily when I heard my phone ringing, I checked my caller Id and Cassie was the one calling.
"What the hell does she want from me this early in the morning??, I thought to myself as I picked up her call. "
"Hello bestie how are you?? I hope you are okay get ready am picking you up in an hour", she rambled .
She had a very cheerful character and a high spirited one for that matter and I think that's what I loved about her.
"Oh my God I forgot we were supposed to go the spur for a makeover ", I told her as I threw the duvet off me and hauled myself into the restroom. It was my engagement party today and I almost forgot I had to be at my splendid looks.
"Okay please be ready I ll pick you up soon dear", she said as she hang up the call .Cassie had offered to take me to the spur for my makeover since it was a remarkable day for me.
True friends are always there for you when you need them and Cassie was not exceptional at all. She shared my exaltations ,agonies and also my tears and I was so indebted to her for being such an attentive friend.
I brushed my teeth quickly as I looked into the mirror, my hair was such a mess. I had the quickest shower ever ,Cassie was always punctual so I didn't want to keep her waiting .
I went through my closet and decided to put on a simple black jeans and a white blouse. I had a very big closet with so many clothes, shoes and clutches from the best designers in Newyork. I had everything good life would offer but I kept a very low profile, I detested publicity even though my father was a well known business man.
I brushed my hair neatly and I was now ready to go. I went downstairs and nobody was around so I went into the kitchen to get myself something to eat ,I was very famished.
"Jean where are you?", Cassie howled my name at the top of her voice. "
"In the kitchen ", I relplied as I poured an orange juice into a glass.
"I can't believe you not yet done ", I heard her gibbering behind me.
"I am ready, I was just having something to drink ", I told her as I took a sip of my orange juice and she tugged me out of the kitchen along with her."
"Let me take my handbag bag, you can wait for me in the car ", I told her as I ran off to my room. "
"Okay but don't take too long ,we have a lot to do today", she replied as she walked out of the living room.
We drove into a superstructure building and parked our car into the parking lot, we entered the spur and right there they started doing our facials, followed by manicure then pedicure and lastly they did our hair and makeup.
"You look so ravishing miss", one of the makeup artist shrieked as the others nodded in agreement. "
"Thank You", I said as I looked myself into the mirror that was right infront of me and I smitted with what I saw. It was exquisite and I loved it .
"You so irresistible bestie, am sure Taylor won't take his eyes off you all night ", Cassie said with a naughty smile and I knew she was about to pork me and I wasn't ready for that, so I cut her off.
"Let's go we have to get ready", I told her as I handed my credit card to the cashier to make remittance for all the services.

I walked into my closet and took my evening gown that was carefully hanged, I had procured it from one of the best designers in New york. I had a problem choosing what to wear but as always Cassie was there to assist me.
I wore a long, red slip dress with glitters along with golden stilettos and golden earrings. My hair was tied up in neat bun and a red lipstick that went hand in hand with my outfit.
Cassie walked me down the stairs steadily where my mum and dad were eagerly waiting for me, as usual dad appeared to be in a hurry and before anyone could say anything he was already directing us towards the door.
"We are already late we have to rush, we can't keep the guests waiting", he said as he entered the car.

We made our ingress into the ballroom where everyone was having their jollification. I looked around the ballroom seeking for Taylor and I spotted him instantly ,he was standing with his best friend Jake and I could see how thrilled he was .
He looked so dashing in his navy blue suit that fitted him perfectly, I walked towards them and his face lightened up when he saw me approaching them, he took my hand and gave me a peck on my cheek.
" My ever stunning cupcake," he mumbled as he gaped into my eyes, " Taylor's compliment made my cheeks turn red as always.
"As usual you are looking good",Jake said ."
"Thank you Jake", I told him with a counterfeited smile.
Jake and I didn't get along too well but I had to put up with him for Taylors sake, and I knew it was the same case with him too.
We were still talking, when I heard Taylors dad seeking for everyone's attention and that made me a bit perturbed because I knew he was about to make the anouncement.
"Good evening everyone ", he said as everyone halted what they were doing. "
He then adjured Taylor and I to go to the front,Taylor held my hand and walked me into the front and thats when he announced our engagement and the crowd clapped their hands with exhilaration.
It was going to be a new beginning for me and Taylor, he held my hand and took me to the dance floor where other couples were dancing to the tune of "because you loved me"by Celine Deon as he held me closely.
"I love you Jean,", he said as he looked deep into my eyes and I knew he really meant what he said.
"I love you too", I told him as I stared into his eyes. "
Finally the party was over and everyone congratulated us including our parents and also friends and I was so glad that the party was a success and this was made possible by my dad.
We thanked everyone for attending our engagement party and Taylor offered to take me home so I bid Cassie goodbye and told mum that I would see her at home and off we left the ballroom.
Taylor drove slowly as we talked about the party.
"The party was awesome", he said and I totally agreed with him. "
But all over sudden our car lost control and hit a truck that was slightly ahead of us.
