This is a one shot for the new Taylor Swift song: Speak Now. I was listening to it, and got inspired :p So here goes nothing!
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 ran into the chapel, on my way to stop the love of my life from making the biggest mistake of his life. I had just gotten the news yesterday from Kara that Alex was getting married to Lisa. It tore me up and I got on the first plan to Maryland. Now I was here, ready to stop him. Ready to explain everything.
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
Jack, Rian, and Zack were standing at their places on the alter. I saw Lisa's rich family dressed in colors that reminded me of the little colored party mints. I could hear Lisa yelling at Kara and Jack's sister from a room down the hallway. I could see her through the doorway and she looked like a cupcake.
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 backdoor
Don't wait or say a single vow
You need to hear me out and they said speak now
I think to myself, "Really Alex, is this what you want? It can't be. You're so much better than this...this isn't you, this isn't what you wanted then, and it can't be what you want now." I go over what I'm going to say to Alex, imagining it all in my head.
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
Some man makes a guesture at the organ player and he starts playing a song that sounds more like you're on your way to sure death. I'm hiding behind one of the curtains that are covering the curtains, because my name wasn't on the guest list.
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?
Lisa starts walking down the aisle, she looks like she just won some sort of pageant, she looks fake. The look on his face says it all, he didn't want this to be her, he wanted it to be me, didn't he?
Don't say yes, run away now
I'll meet you when you're out of the church at the backdoor
Don't wait or say a single vow
You need to hear me out and they said speak now
Don't say yes, run away now
I'll meet you when you're out of the church at the backdoor
Don't wait or say a single vow
Your time is running out and they said speak now
I go over what I'm going to say two more times while the preacher is reciting his lines.
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
Horrified looks from everyone in the room
But I'm only looking at you
The preacher says "Speak now, or forever hold your peace." No one says anything and this is my last chance to get Alex back. I stand up, shaking nervously. Everyone's looking at me, Lisa's family is glaring, his friends are shocked to see me, Kara is smiling proudly. I ignore all of the others and stare at him, our eyes locked on each other.
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
Don't say yes, run away now
I'll meet you when you're out of the church at the backdoor
Don't wait or say a single vow
You need to hear me out and they said speak now
I tell him what I came to say, praying that he will say yes. I can see it in his eyes as he looks inbetween me and Lisa. Her and her family are telling him to ignore me and finish this. He starts to take his tux off and I wait to see what he'll say.
And you say lets run away now
I'll meet when I'm out of my tux at the backdoor
Baby I didn't say my vows, so glad you were around
When they said 'Speak now'
I do what he says and soon we're both at the backdoor. He tells me that he's glad I was around when they said speak now.
So, this was my first one shot. I know its not that great, but it's my first, don't judge me. LOL. Please R&R...actually, you don't have to.
