The bridal shower ended late at night, and throughout the celebration, I couldn't smile. Infact, if Indeed I smiled, it was all fake. All I could think about was Raul.
I was the first to wake up the next morning. Emma was sleeping peacefully beside me, like a new born baby. I knew how crazy Emma could be. If she were in my shoes, I know all the heavens would let loose.
I quickly shook her so she could wake up. She rubbed her eyes like a sleepy toddler and looked at the wall clock.
“Oh my goodness Lorena. This is just 3:00. We're supposed to wake by 6." She replied sleepily as she rubbed her eyes.
"Raul didn't return last night, did he?” I asked.
"Lorena please…" she tried to speak but I interrupted
“Raul didn't return last night, did he? I asked again.
“No, he didn't return." She replied, still feeling sleepy.
I began to sob. I picked up my phone and dialed his mum and I told her everything that was happening.
“If Raul is trying to ditch me mum, only the heavens know what will happen!"

LORENA
“You need to calm down my dear Lorena." His mum said over the phone, sounding just like Emma when it all started the previous day.
“I have been calming down for too long mum!"
