Speak Now
Hello my fanfiction darlings, it's ilovefangg here. Um, a couple of things. I DO NOT in any way, shape, or form own MAXIMUM RIDE or any of its characters. JP does and nor do I own "Speak Now" by Taylor Swift. And I wrote this really quick and I tried to cut out as much of the lyrics as I could, but I don't think it reduced much, ha-ha-ha.
Anyway, here's a FAX one shot.

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
I sneak in and see your friends
And her snotty little family
All dressed in pastel
And she is yelling at a bridesmaid
Somewhere back inside a room
Wearing a gown shaped like a pastry
I sigh as I look at the beautiful girl in front of the mirror. She was gorgeous. No wonder Fang asked for her hand in marriage. Someone glanced my way and I covered the curtain over my face. What am I doing here? I was not invited, I should not be here. And yet, here I am, hiding from everyone who was invited. I decieded to get out of the large room before I got caught.
"Elizabeth! Why can't you do anything right!" I hear as I quickly exit the room. I see Nudge and Iggy and walk up to them.
"Max? Is that you?" Nudge asks. "Max! OMG, I didn't know you were here? How long have you been here? I've been here for like, thirty minutes now."
"Oh Nudge, it's nice to see you. And to be honest, I wasn't invited."
"Huh," Iggy said, a confused expression on his face, "I wonder why Fang didn't invite you. You guys were like besties in high school."
"Things changed, I guess." I see Fang's parents and I hide behind Iggy who was clueless as to why I was doing so.
"But still..." He said. "Anyway, I think they are starting. Sit with us, Gazzy had supposed to come but didn't so you can have his seat." I follow them to their seats and hide from Fang's parents.
I looked unnoticeable, so that was good.
This is
Surely not what you thought it would be
I lose myself in a daydream
Where I stand and say
Don't say yes, run away now
I'll meet you when you're out
Of the church at the back door
Don't wait or say a single vow
You need to hear me out
And they said "speak now"
As the dude started talking, I had this weird vision. It was about me standing up when the guy said, "Speak now, or forever hold your peace." I shrugged it off.
Fond 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 a lovely bride-to-be
I see Fang for the first time since I arrived. He looks good. He still has beautiful, dark mysterious eyes and black hair. He, to say the least, was hot. I really wonder why we just...stopped being the best friends we were. Maybe he thought I was a bad friend, or that I embarrassed him, but, we haven't talked since we graduated from High School.
I could tell he was nervous because he was fidgeting with his tie. I know he's nervous when he does this. He did this when we went to Prom together in Junior year (yes, we went to prom together but only because there was no one who asked me and he felt bad cause I really wanted to go).
The organ started to play, and all of us stood up. I fixed Iggy's direction (since he was blind and all) and hid behind him. I could feel Nudge's excitement from behind me. We watched as the bridemaids and the guys walked out one by one, and finally Fang's soon-to-be-wife walked out with her holding her Dad's arm. She looked happy and that made Fang happy too, I guess. But as I looked at Fang, he didn't seem as happy. I mean, I know when he's fake smiling or acting. He's doing just a bit of both.
I turn to look at Fang, and made direct eye contact with him. He looked surprised and smiled at me. I smiled back. I remember in Freshman Year, Fang had asked me out but I rejected him because I didn't know him well enough. He's never asked me out since.
He kept staring at me, a hint of regret in his eyes.
She floats down the aisle
Like a pageant queen.
But I know you wish it was me
You wish it was me (Don't you?)
Ok, I lied. He did ask me out again in Sophomore year. But I never quite answered his question cause I ran away from him. I don't know if he liked me liked me, but I think he did. I wonder if he still does now. To this day, I wish I had said yes because I've been in love with him since the Prom.
Don't say yes, run away now
I'll meet you when you're out
Of the church at the back door
Don't wait or say a single vow
You need to hear me out
And they said "speak now" (X2)
Oh Oh Oh! ( say a single vow... )
She arrived next to him and the preacher began his speech.
I hear the preacher say
"Speak now or forever hold your peace"
There's the silence, there's my last chance
I stand up with shaking hands
All eyes on me
Oh god, what am I doing? What the heck am I doing? Why is my body doing this? But I know that Fang and I are meant to be together, I know it.
Horrified looks from
Everyone in the room
But I'm only looking at you.
As I stand up, all I do is look into Fang's eyes to see a hint of shock and relief. He turns to his soon-to-be-wife. His parents are staring at me, a smile spread across their face.
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!
( Ha! )
"I'm so sorry, Lissa, but I can't marry you." he says. "I'm so sorry." And he runs down the steps and pulls me out of my row. "Let's run away now." We run to the back of the church and run to the park with Cheshire cat grins on our faces. We stop in the middle of the park and stare at each other in the eyes before leaning in and connecting our lips.
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
"Max, I've loved you since the first day of freshman year when you poured paint on my backpack for payback. I was just so happy to see you here at the wedding. I'm glad you stopped me from marrying someone I thought I loved.' He says.
I smiled and kiss him again. "I've loved you too, I was just to scared to say yes the second time you asked me out."
"You love me this much," He says, extending his arms really wide, "right?"
I smile. I got drunk one Friday night and I told Fang this. "Yes, I love you that much."
And he wrapped his arms around me and held me close.
