As I'm writing this, I'm watching 'Dumplin' for the second time and I just realized Odeya Rush (Onyx) is in the movie, I'm also listening to Play Date by Melanie Martinez slowed, because why not.

December 2nd

"So, where are you having the wedding?" Onyx asked as she showed Lorenzo and I pictures of places.

We had Onyx and Luna be our wedding decorators.

Onyx and I have similar styles, and Luna picks beautiful colors. 

"Do whatever you like," I reply, "I'm sure I'll like it too." 

She nods and goes over the pictures.

"What colors would you like?" Luna asked as she showed Lorenzo and I different colors.

"You can pick Enzo, I don't really like any color besides black." I reply.

"Are you okay?" He questioned, "You seem stressed."

"I'm fine, I just need some air," I respond as I get up and start walking outside.

I walk outside in the snow and sit down on a bench.

This is all so stressful. 

Suddenly, Lucille walks outside slowly.

I look at her and scoff.

She sits down next to me.

"Hey.." She says lowly.

"Hi," I respond, "When did you get here?"

"Just right now. Lorenzo told me to check on you, he says you're stressed."

"Of course he did," I sigh, "Where's Oliver and Draco?" 

"Draco's helping Lorenzo pick a color, and Oliver's playing with Zeno," She chuckles, "They're really close, Oliver and Zeno."

"Yeah," I giggle.

"You know," she says lowly, "Lorenzo loves you a lot."

"Yeah, he tells me almost every day," I chuckle. 

"Draco loves you too, y'know, like a friend. I remember, when we were at Hogwarts, I used to envy your relationship with Draco," she sighed.

"Really?" 

"Yeah, you two were so close. There would be times where I thought you two were dating. When you were gone, and we were planning on going somewhere, he would always say, 'Let's wait for Ari to come back so she can join us.'" She huffed, "I don't think I've ever seen him without that bloody ring on his finger."

We start laughing.

"Thank you, Luce."

"Anytime," she replies and hugs me, "And, I'm sorry for everything I've put you through. I've never formally apologized to you, and I'm truly sorry." 

I nod and look at the ground.

"It's crazy, I had Zeno at 17, and now I'm 19 and getting married." 

"Yeah, it's crazy how life works," she responds and I nod.

She stands up and puts her hand out for me to grab.

Her pale cheeks are red from the cold.

I grab her hand and she helps me up.

We walk into the house again.

I see Draco, Onyx, Blaise, Luna and Lorenzo surrounded by the table, trying to pick a color still. 

I walk over to them.
