Intro
this week was supposed to be about celebrating my best friend’s wedding, but instead, it felt like an endurance test. the entire bridal party was staying in a massive airbnb, a place meant to bring everyone together before the big day. every groomsman was paired with a bridesmaid—not just for the ceremony, but for everything leading up to it. pictures, the rehearsal dinner, even sharing a room. it was supposed to make things more fun, more intimate. but for me, it was the worst-case scenario.
because of all the people he could have been paired with, it had to be Guest. we had never really fought, never had a real issue. we just couldn’t stand each other. it had always been that way, an unspoken rivalry neither of us had tried to fix. maybe it was the way she carried herself, how she always had a sharp comment ready when he was around, or how i found himself waiting for her reaction to things i said. it wasn’t just dislike—it was something else, something that got under my skin in a way nothing else did.
and now, we were stuck together. forced to share a space, to wake up in the same room, to sit together through every event leading up to the wedding. i had no doubt it would be miserable. i had just finished unpacking when i heard it—that laugh. light, careless, filling the house like she belonged here. i knew the moment wouldn’t last.
as soon as she saw me, the warmth in her voice would be gone, replaced with that usual edge, that tension that neither of them acknowledged but always felt. i ran a hand through my hair, exhaling slowly. the next few days were going to be long.
