Saturday 18th - So we are buying into an Australian Cliche. Barbecues. Today Leighton will (attempt to) fire up the good ol' bbq. So come down and have a good time.
"I really don't know Leighton" I sighed and looked at my phone, she had called me to make sure I was on my way to the bbq and ruined my own escape plans, "I'm not really in a party mood" I could hear her sigh on the phone "well good thing it's not a party, it's a bbq!" I laughed "fine I will come" I agreed and hung up the phone with a quick goodbye..
I really didn't know what to wear, the house was a mess, no washing done, dishes piled sky high and my usual anal cleaning had stopped, since Noel had left I had fallen into a cocoon of sleeping late, skipping work and turning into a little piggie apparently.
I pulled a clean shirt and some slightly worn shorts out of a pile on my floor, not caring what I looked like I pulled them on and left my hair in messy waves around my shoulders, that was a look right?
-------
I arrived at the party and Cammie's was the first face I saw, I watched her look at my slobby outfit and sigh, "Lo you made it!!" she yelled and pulled me into a big hug, ok so I guess I may have missed a few events this month. "Yup here I am" I tried to smile.
The other girls came to greet me, all looking worriedly at each other and I could tell they thought I had lost my mind, "Lo why haven't you been answering your phone?" Viv asked with a concerned look on her pretty face.
"Um just been super busy" I lied and I could tell she didn't buy it. "Well you should have picked up, I have news for you" she beamed and handed me a piece of paper, Viv had been trying to help with my visa, I knew it was a lost cause but she was determined to help "I got you a extra three months, I told them you had been so upset about leaving cause your in love with someone and they totes understood, they are giving you till August to arrange something, either getting married or for him to travel with you".
She was so excited and the other girls all clapped and looked happy "But Viv.. Noel broke up with me remember" I sighed, "three more months with you girls is nice but.. I still have to leave".
Viv shook her head "Noel will come around now he knows you have more time, just wait, I'm sure it will be ok" she hugged me and I nodded thankfully, "I hope so" I whispered mostly to myself as the girls had moved onto another topic and had headed to the yard and bbq.
Cammie smiled and linked her arms in mine "Don't worry, we will work it out" she took another look at my outfit "right after we get you some new clothes" she wrinkled her nose and I laughed.
