There's a Place for Us

Kara and I walked downstairs to find Abigail, Carly and our mother sitting in the kitchen rolling out dough for my mothers famous cookies. "Hello Girls, are you all settled in Emily?" she asked cheerfully. "Yep" I said. We sat down in the kitchen and began cutting out cookies from the dough when Eric bursts through the door. Carly immediently threw her arms around his neck and the two kissed. Kara, Abigail, and I let out a sarcastic awwww,both Eric and Carly laughed. It was only a few moments later that Marc came through the door for Abigail, again Kara and I awwwed sarcastically. But when Jared came in for Kara it would not have been cute for me to awww alone, so I sat quietly. It was nice to see who I considered my brothers again. They were all delighted to see me and I was very excited to see them. We had texted, and seen each other speratically, but it was nice for us all to be together again, except Jordan. Jordan hadnt arrived yet, and I was almost grateful. I wasnt ready to face him yet. The boys only stayed for a few minutes before returning to the barn to get it ready for the party. "Soooo," Carly began, "Have you talked to Jordan at all" I tilted my head , "Ya! Yesterday we just got back from a romantic getaway remember?" I said sarcastically. "Look, I know you still love him, there's no way he doesnt still have feelings for you." She said, trying to reassure me, but it didnt really work. "Come on," she said. "Lets go get ready for the party." I had no idea what to wear, or how to do my hair. I had never worn makeup even when I had been dating Jordan. I had always been kind of the tomboy out of us four. Luckily I had three girly sisters to help me out. The party was country themed. Since my sister was the bride to be she wore a cute sundress with lilacs on it, and of course her cowgirl hat and boots. My other sisters and I wore flannel tank top shirts that tied in the front, cutoff jean shirts, and cowgirl hats. I let my wavy blonde hair hang around my shoulders. I guess it looked okay that way. I had always found my sisters more beautiful than I. Kara was stunning she had long, straight,dirty blonde hair, and beautiful dark blue eyes. Abigail was a strawberry blonde with a few freckles, and emerald green eyes. Carly looked the most like me, she had long blonde hair, and light aqua eyes. Carly left for the party before us because she was the bride. Kara, Abigail, and I walked to the party together a little later. I was a bit nervous because I knew I would see Jordan soon. As soon as I walked into the party, it seemed like slow motion, my eyes met Jordan's as I walked into the barn. He looked so good. He had gotten much more muscular since I saw him last. He immediatley looked away my eyes met his. It didnt seem like we would end up talking. Of course my 'genius' sisters were going to fix that.
