Nina's POV

The black email screen haunted me. Of course I would love to go to Patricia and Eddie's wedding, but how would they react if I came? I lost touch with most of them. Just mostly Amber and Patricia stayed in touch and all we did was the Christmas card and Birthday card, but now? Should I even go?

"Hey, Nina." My boyfriend, Luke came in through my apartment door. I swirled around to face him, I was holding up the creme, black and peach invitation as an unasked question of should I go?

"Nina, how many times have I told you? If you want to go then go, I'll come too if you want." He said sitting down and putting his feet up.

"But-ugh." I said and went to my room to finish the email on my laptop, while more like have the black screen haunt me more but in peace since my boyfriend is watching ESPN sports.

That was 7 months ago, now I am standing on the alter as one of her braids maids. Don't ask how I got that job because that is a totally different story but I am up here in a blue dress that goes just a little above my knees with a black belt around my waist and my hair up in a messy fish tail with some stands framing my face. Patricia had on a simple A-line dress that looked perfect on her, her hair was in a bun with her vial on a clip somewhere in her bun so it draped down from her bun onto her back.

Eddie grew a little more and looked a little more mature, in the wedding Piper was the maid-of-honor and Amber, me, Joy, Mara and on of Eddie's cousins were the braids maids and I think Eddie's brother was the best man with Alfie, Jerome, Patricia's younger brother and some guy that I don't know were the grooms men.

The ceremony was nice and simple not girly but not short, it was perfect for her. After we met up in the backyard of Anubis house with paper lanterns were hung up and tents up it just looked so perfect!

"Oh my God! Is that Nina Martin?" Jerome, Alfie, Mick and Eddie joked. All the girls knew that I would be coming I think the boys would've known too, but I think they are just teasing me.

"Yes, it is." I told them. I couldn't help but smile.

"Oh, hey do you know where Fabian is?" I asked them. He wasn't in the wedding party, and I didn't see him here.

"You don't know?" Eddie asked me, concern filled his eyes.

"Know what?" I asked him.

"Well, he joined the army." Eddie said.

"Here?" I almost joked on the little bit of wine I have.

"No, he went to America to try and find you, but he gave up two or three years ago and well he joined the army for I don't know why." Eddie said, just then Amber, Patricia, Joy and Mara came.

"Did you tell Nina about Fabian?" Joy guessed. I guess I looked bad since I felt sick. I nodded numbly.

"Aw, Nina I didn't want you to find out this way, but I'm sorry he looked all over Maine for you but couldn't find you." She said to me.

"Because I was in College, I went to Purdue in Indianan." I told them, I should've told them.

"But you said you lived in Maine ." Amber said.

"Well yeah until I moved when I got to college a few years ago." I told her, they all looked bad for me, I felt bad. Fabian could die, just because I didn't want to stay in Maine.

"Well he's fine." Amber told me, not in a mean way in just a just-so-you-know kind of voice.

"Thanks." I told her and he forgot about it. Well, tried to anyway but I can't stop thinking about Fabian.
