Speak Now

Prompt: Speak Now- Taylor Swift

It was Hotch's wedding day. He was marrying a woman he had been seeing for a while. But it wasn't who everyone expected to see him marry.

JJ was nervous. She couldn't believe this was happening. She was about to crash his wedding. SHe loved him and he was marrying someone else.

I am not the kind of girl

who should be rudely barging in on a white veil occasion.

But you are not the kind of boy

who should be marrying the wrong girl.

JJ entered the church.

I sneak in and see your friends

and her snotty little family

all dressed in pastel.

And she is yelling at a brides' maid

somewhere back inside her room.

Wearing a gown shaped like a pastry.

This is surely not what you thought it would be.

I lose myself in a daydream.

JJ couldn't believe it. She knew what had to be done. She had to stop Hotch. She wanted to be the one wearing all white. She wanted to walk down the aisle and have Hotch there waiting for her.

JJ hid behind a curtain. She started to daydream.

She was sitting in a pew. She had just given Hotch a letter.

Dear Aaron,

Don't say yes. Run away now. I'll meet you when your out of the church at the back door. Don't wait or say a single vow. You need to hear me out. They're saying speak now.

-JJ

JJ was greeting everyone and smiling. She couldn't wait until he read the letter.

Fun gestures are exchanged and the organ starts to play a song that sounds like a death march. And I am hiding in the curtains. It seems that I was uninvited by your lovely bride- to- be. She walks down the aisle like a pagaent queen. But I know you wish it was me.

The ceremony began. When the preacher said, "If anyone believes that these two should not be married, speak now or forever hold your peace." She instantly stood up. She felt everyone's eyes on her, but she stared directly at Hotch. She began to sweat. She was nervous. Her hands began to shake. She said, "I do. Aaron, you belong with me. I love you."

I hear the preacher say, "Speak now or forever hold your peace." There's a silence. There's my last chance. I stand up with shaking hands, all eyes on me. Horrified looks from everyone in the room, but I'm only looking at you.

JJ ran out of the church and Hotch followed her. He spun her around.

"Aaron!" JJ exclaimed.

"I love you too, JJ." Before JJ could respond, Hotch kissed her. He pulled back and said, "I'm so glad you stood up and spoke.

And you say let's run away now. I'll meet you when I'm out of my tux at the back door. Baby, I didn't say my vows. So glad you were around when they said, "Speak now."
