The Story of Us
Chapter 1: 'Speak Now or Forever Hold Your Peace.'
Hello! This is a new FanFic! Don't own anything. This chapter is based on Taylor Swift's song, Speak Now with a twist.
Love Taylor Swift! There will be mentions of her throughout the story. Oh yeah, for all you Justin Bieber Haters out there, please don't write bad reviews, he was the first person on my mind. ENJOY! ;) Oh, and Happy Halloween 2010! :P
"Cait, here, let me fix that for you." Mitchie offered. After fixing what already was accomplished by the make-up artist, she slipped a hair pin into my hand and whispered, "in case something bad happens in the ceremony," I smiled. Mitchie was always there for me.
I'm not good friends with the bride but somehow, Nate managed to get me, Ella and Mitchie to take part as bridesmaids. "Girls," the wedding planner came in. "It's time. Go watch your best girlfriend get married!" now this was awkward. "Uhhh, we're not really close with the bride. We're good friends with the groom." Ella looked uncomfortable saying that. The smile was suddenly wiped off of the wedding planner's face. "Oh. Okay, go watch your friend get married, then." She said in the most non cheery way possible. Ignoring that, we grabbed our bouquets and walked out the door. We sat in the limo and talked while waiting for the driver. "Can you believe that Nate's getting married? I mean, he's only 17." Ella pointed out. "I know, aren't they a little young? And have you seen them even go on the first date?" Mitchie agreed. I was just sitting there listening in their conversation and stared out the window mindlessly. They both could see my emotion, even when my face wasn't showing it. And with that, they changed the subject. "I'm walking with Shane, who are you with Ella?" Mitchie asked. "Uhhh… Jason. What about you, Caitlyn?" I only heard a bit until I was snapped back into reality. "Uhh, Justin Bieber." I said, not paying much attention to the conversation. My two best friends screams and squeals reeled me back in. "Ahhh! Caitlyn! You've gotta trade with me!" Ella squealed. That was then I realised what was happening. "Uhh, let me think… NO!" I smiled widely. They both groaned. Who would be stupid enough to switch partners? When your partner is JB? No way! After a few minor debates and 3 minutes without talking to each other, we arrived.
I was the last one to get out and knowing what was going to happen today, Nate getting married and all, I took a deep breath and took everything in. When I stepped out of the limo and walked down the aisle, Nate was somehow staring at me like I was the bride about to marry him. I grinned at him and mouthed 'congrats'. I could almost make out what he was mouthing back, 'thank you'. And then suddenly, the groomsman I was wrapping my arm around cleared his throat. It took me about a minute to finally realise who he was. Justin Drew Bieber. Then, like normal people, we talked whist walking very slowly: an inch per second. And then, out of the blue, he commented, "so, is Nate your best friend or something? Cos it seems like you're closer to him than the bride." "Yep. The best you could ever ask for." We whispered to each other. "Cool. I can see the way he looks at you. It's totally different to the way he looks at Dana." I could see Nate. He was still staring at me. "How different?" I asked looking at the bouquet of flowers resting in my hand. "Good different. It's like he wants you to be the one in white walking down the aisle last." He replied. "Well that'll be a shame. We wouldn't have had this talk." I joked. "More like a whisper. Oh yeah, how long have we been walking? I mean this must be a really narrow chapel!" I giggled but not loud enough so that the people sat on the benches would hear. That would be embarrassing. We finally arrived at the altar. Now, in normal weddings, the bridesmaids would go onto the left side but since we were invited by the groom, we were sat on the right side. We sat in order. That meant that I sat next to one Justin Bieber. All in all, without the screaming girls (including Ella) following him around, he was not a bad guy. We talked for the rest of the time the other participants walked down. Then it was time for the bride, Dana Turner. To be honest, she walked down the aisle faster than the rest of us. Justin was right. Nate did look at Dana differently. It was time. For Nate to get married.
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to join two loves into one. Now before we move on, is there anyone who would like to object to this marriage?" Justin nudged my elbow and whispered, "There's your last chance." The preacher looked around the room. "Speak now or forever hold your peace." There's the silence, there's my last chance and so I stand up with shaky hands, all eyes directly on me. Horrified looks from everyone in the room but I'm only looking at him, my one and only true love. "I object," I raised my hand up nervously. "Nathan Geoffrey Gray, I love you. And I always have. And I wanna spend the rest of my life with you. But that's not going to happen. Obviously you're going to choose Dana but I just wanted to let you know because I don't want to spend the rest of my life wondering 'what if?'" I turned to Justin and said, "thank you" "anytime. And if you're ever in Canada, here." He gave me his card. I gave him a hug that made it fail like I had known him for years, even before he was famous. It was like I was the one behind the camera posting his videos on YouTube. With still no answer from Nate, good or bad, I walked down the aisle with everyone still staring at me and headed for the door. I reached for the doorknob when…
