Sitting in the cool air of her black Range Rover she contemplated on whether to continue with what she was about to do. Taking a few deep breaths she pulled out her iPhone and text her good friend, Jack, whom she was meeting here. IM HERE, COME TO PARKING LOT. –A. Putting her phone into her silver clutch, she turned the car off and climbed out of the driver's seat. Before she could lock it, she heard someone walking towards her. Turning she saw Jack, Matt, and Andrew, a huge smile spread across her lips when she saw. Locking the car, she ran towards them hugging all three at the same time. "I miss you!"

"We missed you too, And!" Matt exclaimed, keeping his arm around her shoulders.

"Hey man, keep your hands off my date!" Jack exclaimed playfully pushing Matt's arm away, replacing it with his own. "So you ready to go?"

"I guess…" she sighed.

"Don't worry, you look amazing and you have us if anything goes wrong. But it won't because she is a control freak." All four laughed as they walked towards the entrance to the hotel where the party was being held.

"So how bad is she really?"

"Terrible," the three men simultaneously said.

"She-"

"She is. She is totally different from you. I don't even know where this chick came from. He must be stupid to think that she could replace you," Andrew cut her off.

"Andy just please try not to say anything, I know that you will have urges to but don't," Matt pleaded.

"No promises," she smirked before walking through the open door of the hotel, following them towards the grand hall where the rehearsal dinner was being held. I need to leave, now. I can't do this. She thought as the approached the large door leading to the party. Stopping to check herself in the mirror, she smiled slightly before sighing and continuing. Tonight she was clad in a hot pink strapless cocktail dress, which accentuated her body perfect. Her long hair was straightened and fell down her shoulders, her bangs framing her face. She was different from the last time from the last time any of the people in here had seen her. Her hair was no longer dark brunette, but a lighter brunette with auburn, blond, and light red highlights throughout that complimented her hair wonderfully. She wore light makeup, black eye liner and a light shade of pink lip gloss.

Who is that? Liz questioned seeing the mystery girl walk into the grand room with her fiancée's brothers. She had never seen this girl before, but she looked somewhat familiar. Turning to her fiancée, she pointed to the woman, "Who is that?" Turning his head in the direction she was pointing he stopped. What was she doing here? He made sure that she wouldn't be here, because he knew that he wouldn't be able to do this. He knew that seeing her would end everything he had started.

"I'm not sure Liz, why don't you go introduce yourself?" he lied straight through his teeth, not in the mood to deal with the wrath that would come later. She nodded getting up to introduce herself to the stranger.

"Aren't you coming?"

"I guess." He hesitated, unsure if he should really go over to her. She was now talking with his mother, who had always thought of Andy as her own. She was furious when she found out about what had happened between them. They walked towards them, Andy now in the embrace of his mother who was whispering something to her. That gorgeous smile he loved appeared on her face; he missed that smile.

"Andy," Andrew whispered, interrupting the conversation that she was having with Patty. He looked towards the direction in which John and Liz were coming, making Andy's head turn. She wasn't ready for this; she wasn't ready to face him yet.

"You'll be okay sweetheart," Patty whispered before walking away to find her husband. The couple reached the four and Andy didn't know what to do. Jack wrapped his arm around her, causing her to relax a little bit; though she saw jealously flash across the face of her ex. Liz stepped forward with a smile, reaching her hand out towards her.

"Hello, I'm Liz, John's fiancée, who are you?" Liz asked sweetly, delusional as to who she was talking to.

"I'm Andy, nice to meet you," her voice was low, but loud enough for them to hear.

"Andy, why does that name sound so familiar?" Suddenly it hit Liz, and anger flushed through her veins. This was Andy, John's ex-girlfriend; What in the hell is she doing here?

"I'm here with Jack, he asked me to be his date for the next two days." Liz calmed down some when she heard that she was only here for Jack, but she also knew that John wasn't completely over this woman. The way their relationship ended was not on good terms. Hell she wouldn't be over her if she was John; the woman was absolutely stunning, anyone would be lucky enough to call her his own. "Don't worry I didn't come to ruin your wedding, I'm just here for Jack."

"I wasn't thinki-"

"It's okay, I know that you were. But you don't have to worry about it. I can tell by the look on your face that you're thinking that." Liz didn't know what to say, Andy seemed like a sweet girl to her she wasn't sure why the relationship would have ended so badly between John and her. "It's nice to meet you," Andy smiled before turning to walk away, the three brothers following her.

"She seems nice…" John said nothing in response; he was still shocked that she was really here. She seemed so distant from everything, so different. "Are you okay with her being here?"

"What? Oh yeah, it doesn't bother me," he responded lightly. Liz intertwined their hands, but his fell limp to hers. "I need some fresh air; I'll be back in a few." He pushed himself through the crowd towards the doors leading to a patio. Stepping into the night air, he took a deep breath taking in as much as he could. He still couldn't wrap his head around the fact that she was really here, the woman who had stolen his heart and never returned it.

"Matt stop! Put me down!" He recognized that voice anywhere, turning he saw Matt hoisting her over his shoulder despite her protesting. "Matthew, put me down now!" A light chuckle escaped his lips watching the scene in front of him.

"C'mon Matt, you know she can kick your ass. Just put her down," Andrew defended the girl in Matt's arms. John walked towards the group, clearing his throat to make himself known. They all turned towards him, Andy doing her best to keep her eyes from locking with his.

"Hey man, what's up?" Jack asked walking towards his brother. John smiled weakly, turning his gaze away from the woman in front of him and towards his brother. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing," his voice weak and unsure.

"Don't lie to us John, we can tell that something is up," Matt argued. They had all been preoccupied with John that they didn't notice Andy had slipped away from them.

She walked down the side of the building towards the side walk leading to a gazebo next to the moonlit pond. She slid down the rails of the gazebo, sitting on the cold wooden floor and thinking about everything, realizing that she had made a mistake by coming. She couldn't sit and watch the man she loved be married to another person. Sure they had ended badly, but she still loved him. Hearing someone walking down the pathway to the pond she looked up to see who it was.

He slowed his pace once he reached the pathway almost reaching the gazebo, seeing her figure sitting on the floor of the small structure. Reaching her, he sat next to her on the floor in silence for what seemed like forever; both unsure of what to say to the other. He began to say something but she beat him to it, "What are you doing here John, you have people in there who are waiting to see you, who are waiting to congratulate you. They expect you to be in there celebrating with you soon to be wife, not out here with you ex-girlfriend." Her eyes were cold as she said this, turning towards him.

"I can't be in there."

"Why is that?" He shrugged in response only irritating her more. "Why can you not be in there with you soon to be wife and all of the people you invited to witness you marrying her? You seemed perfectly fine when I walked in there."

"That's just it, you came in."

"Don't you dare try and put this on me! I came to help your brother out, not to get into a fight with you or stop you. Don't you dare stop this wedding because of me. You made your choice four years ago; it's too late to go back now. I don't want you to ruin this for that woman in there; she loves you too much for you to do that."

"You loved me too."

"So what, you're just going to ruin it for every woman that loves you? That's not how it works Johnny boy. Maybe in your world it does, but not in the real world." No one was ever allowed to call him Johnny; she knew that it pissed him off when they did. But at this point she didn't really care; she wasn't going to let him ruin happiness for another girl. Little did she know that he would only let one person call him Johnny, which was her. "Now get your ass up and get back in there."

"I can't not while you're here."

"Then I will leave, I won't be there tomorrow and I will leave right now." Standing up to walk away, he stopped her holding onto her arm and pulling her closer to him. "John, don't do this…" Before she could protest anymore, his lips were on hers and he held her against pole of the structure. She began to fight him, but couldn't resist any longer pulling him to her by his neck. "John…" she breathed as he pulled away from her.

"Andy, I can't do this," he whispered pressing his forehead to hers, his piercing blue eyes looking into her dark brown ones. "I can't stand up there and say something I don't mean."

"You wouldn't have asked her to marry you if you didn't love her."

"I would if I was trying to get over someone else."

"John, please, don't do this. Don't ruin another relationship; I know that you love her."

"Andy, you don't understand, I don't love her. I only asked her because I thought that it would be the quickest way to get over you."

"If you're so set on not going through with it, then get in there and tell her. Don't sit out here and tell me, tell her."
