“I can’t believe they didn’t invite us,” I rage, tossing clothes out of my
closet, unsure what I should wear to lunch today, “I mean what a way to snub
the entire family. I am sure people will notice we are not in attendance.” My
cousin Laura sits at the end of my bed listening to me let off steam, I think
she is also bummed we are not going. Her boyfriend is going but was told she
may not attend with him. “Everyone knows I was her best friend,” I moan,
and think back to when we were children, when I would play at Vanessa’s
aunt’s house.
“They also know you tried to ruin her life because you wanted to be Mrs.
Lorenzo so badly.” Laura states an obvious truth, “I don’t think he or her will
ever forgive you for that. Sorry cousin, but you cooked your goose with that
one.”
I know what I did was selfish, and I do feel slightly bad about it. The
whole thing backfired anyway because she somehow still ended up with him.
They can’t understand. It had been in talks for months that my father
wanted me to marry him, and that it would strengthen the family ties. No one
ever gave any thought to his legal secretary, the one woman who he had the
darkest history with. The Kings believed he needed time to adjust, then he
and I would get engaged after an appropriate length of time had passed. He
was supposed to be mine and my so-called ‘best friend’ stole that from me.
“I told my best friend the truth, I was trying to protect her.” I know my
intentions were not good. I was jealous and angry and wanted to break them
up so I stood a chance. “You would have done the same if your friend was in
that position.” I try make it sound like I did the right thing, even if my
intentions weren’t good, she needed to know the truth. My motives don’t
matter, the fact was Vanessa had to find out.
“I probably wouldn’t have,” Laura says, “there are some things you
should just let go. You wanted him to leave her, and it backfired.” She is as
blunt as they come, and she is annoyed to be missing the almost royal
wedding. It’s hard to explain, but I know I was wrong. I just won’t admit that
to any of them.
“You at least have a boyfriend from a good family, and the promise of a
wedding,” I sigh, “without Lorenzo on the table there is no one my father can
marry me to that will help us, so I am going to be a spinster or a cat lady,
only I am allergic to cats.”
