Andrea's POV
I was on my bed when suddenly someone knocked the door. I yawned before getting up and open the door.
"wait up" I said and opened it.
Xander was in front of me and he has an envelope in hemis hands. It was a elegant envelope and I saw the name of Lenna and Dreb. And then I remembered their wedding.
"I don't think I would give you this but this is for you." he handed me the envelope and went downstairs.
I closed the door and hurriedly open the envelope. It was their invitation, I stared at the envelope for a few minute and then I took a deep breath and put in on the side table.
I went to the bathroom and take a bath. It was fast and went to my vanity dresser. I fixed myself and dry my hair.
I went to the closet and choose some clothes. I was about to get my car keys when someone texted me.
I saw it and it was Lenna.
"I hope you don't mind, helping me to choose my wedding gown. Is it okay to you? I have no friends here and I think you can help me" I read her message and it makes my heart to torn apart.
Why it's me? Out of all the people? Why it's me who will help her to choose their wedding gowns?
I just sighed and replied to her that its okay. I went straight to Dreb's house and my acting will start soon.
I was outside their house and rang the doorbell. Crystal opened the gate and I enter.
She even patted my shoulders and telling me that's okay. I just nodded and take a deep breath before I enter the house.
"Andrea, thanks for coming here" Lenna said smiling at me. I just smiled back and sat on the sofa.
I looked around as I noticed Dreb was not here. "Dreb is just sleeping right now, I hope you can help me choose my wedding gown"
"I can help you,"
"thank you" she said and suddenly hugged me.
I get up and start to walked to go in my car. Lenna followed me and went inside my car. I looked back on their house and I saw Crystal smiling at me.
I went inside my car and started the engine. I start to drive and went to the wedding dress boutique.
We arrived at went inside. "good morning mam. How can we help you?" a lady asked me. She thinks I'm the one who need a gown.
"no, not me. It's her" the lady suddenly looked at Lenna's direction and she's a bit shocked. Lenna is now wearing a simple shirt and a pants.
"ouh, I'm sorry mam, I didn't nm know it's you"
"it's okay" she was smiling and we continue to look for her wedding gown
"what about this Andrea?" she asked me while we're looking at a magazine.
"I think it's lovely" I answered and she turn the next page.
She just nod her head and she pick the first gown we choose. She went to the fitting room and she try to wear it.
I was waiting for her to came out as the curtains were off the fitting room and I saw Lenna. She looks lovely and beautiful, I think she's happy to get married to Dreb. I just smiled fakely and looked at her.
I took my phone and take a picture of her. She smiled and make a peace sign while I took the photo.
"I will send this to Dreb" I said and she nodded.
My attention went down to her stomach, it's getting big now and I hope they will take care of their child. I walked towards her and touched her stomach. "I hope you take care of your baby" I said as I was touching it.
"we will, and we really love this baby"
After we finished picking her gown. We went to go shopping, she said she did not bring any cash and I said it's my wedding gift for her.
She looks at the baby's wear. She really love her baby, and I think she will be a good mother and wife to Dreb. A tear fell off my eyes, I was happy back then when I was with Dreb. We look happy and jut like Lenna I love him so much.
"are you crying?" I was back at myself when Lenna asked me.
I just nodded and wipe my tears away. "I'm just happy to see your happy with your baby"
"I hope you and Xander will soon to get married too"
"me and Xander are just friends" I said and she looks so shocked
"really? But I look at Xander in Dreb s birthday and I saw in his eyes that he really likes you"
"I know he likes me but I like him as a friend and that's just it" I explained to her. She just nodded and pick some baby clothes.
"just get everything you need. I'll pay for it"
"really?" she said and get some of the baby's clothes and stuffs.
After we finished shopping I drop Lenna to their house and I went home. I was tired and I think my heart is going to burst. I was at my house and went straight to my room. Xander is still not here and I think he's at work.
I lay on my bed and cover my face with my pillow. "I can't take this anymore." I said while my eyes were now teary.
I was still crying when someone texted me. I stop crying and looked at my phone. It's Crystal and this is perfect. I need her to be with me.
I texted her the address and I sat down on the chair on the bar near my house.
I saw Crystal was looking around and I wave my hands and she went towards me.
"here you are. What happened back there?" she asked and take a sip of wine.
"I think I can't take this anymore. I was just hurting myself. I'm such a fool and stupid. If I didn't lie to Dreb and said him the truth I think we're still be together right now." I said and I drink my wine and my tears were flowing like a river.
"hey, you can do this, I know you can. Just look at the bright side, you protected him all this time. That's you want right?"
"yes, but I want him to be back at me. I want us to be together again" I was crying and she comforted me.
Yes, right now I'm drunk and I saw the surrounding were moving and I fell on the chair.
That's the last time I saw and when I wake up I was at home. I yawned and get up, I feel my head aches and I hold it. I slightly massage it and I drink some water that was put on my side table.
There's a medicine too and I think Xander prepare this for me. I went to the bathroom and fixed myself before going downstairs.
He was cooking some soups and I went to greet him. "good morning Xander." I was smiling at him while holding my head because of the pain I'm feeling.
"good morning, drink this soup and rest for a bit. This will help you to get better" he said and prepare the soup for me.
He put the soup on my side and he sit and eat his meal. He was looking at me. I looked away and start to drink the soup.
It was delicious and I think this is the most delicious soup I eat. He's a good cook and I think all the ideal type of men are all on him.
I was drinking the soup and after that I went upstairs and lay on my bed. My head were aching and I think I need some sleep. I think I'm being immature this day, I just drink and get drunk and other people will take care of me.
I don't think of that way, and right now, I just think about myself alone. I don't think of Xander and Crystal. I think I'm being a bothersome to them.
"I'm so useless" I said and look at the ceiling. I just sighed and slowly closed my eyes.
A rainy morning woke me up, the rain noise was so loud and that cause me to wake up. I get up and looked at my window. The dark clouds surrounds the sky.
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I went downstairs and I looked at the wall clock and it was just 5 in the morning. I decide to cook for Xander, I want to pay for what he had done to me.
I want him to see that I'm still keeping my life in a positive way. I decide to start cooking, when Xander went downstairs. I prepare the plates and utensils to be used.
I put the food that I cook on the dining table and we started to eat out breakfast.
He smiled as he was eating the food that I cooked. "thanks for this" he said and continue to eat.
