Though you're heart

Is aching

Even though it's breaking

Brady:

"She's…Callie." Paige laughed, sitting next to me.

"No, I mean, like…" She cut me off.

"Callie; is one of the most funny and smart people you would ever meet. She couldn't imagine hurting a fly, and when she dabs on some lip gloss and a skirt, she looks really pretty. She loves to read and though she doesn't appear it, she is a big time volley ball player. She's amazing at it." Paige smiled satisfied with her answer.

"She sounds amazing." I whispered.

"She is amazing. She's the best, best friend you would ever meet. She loves animals and she is really smart." She drew out the word really, making me laugh.

"Why does she always look uncomfortable when I'm around?" I tried not to sound too obsessed with her.

"Well, Brady, you've really adapted the title of being a player. And, Callie, she's really uptight about protecting her heart, she grew up in a bad house hold, and she just doesn't want that to happen to her. She also isn't looking for any serious relationships until at least college, when she's got her life on track and knows what she's gonna do with her life." Paige whispered.

"Why are you whispering?" I asked her, her gaze was focused out on the waves.

"Because Callie has the hearing of an eagle; she could hear a pin drop from a state over. I don't want her to know that I'm telling you about her. And, you've really gotta convince her you like her, and it's not just something stupid to you." Her eyes were sincere. I nodded.

"Just, please tell her to give me a chance, that I'm not what everyone thinks I am." I sighed and she looked t me wistfully for a moment.

"I will."

"Thanks, Paige." I smiled at her, and she smiled back.

"I'm gonna get going back to the party, see you later," And with that, my source of information about Callie stood up and left.

I sighed and looked out at the sun, which was basically all the way down by now, leaving a dark orange red glow to the sky.

Eventually I got up and went back to the party, to see June throwing a piece of cake at Emmett. I'd missed the cake cutting, wow.

I spotted Callie automatically; she was standing near June, laughing at something that the girl standing next to her had said.

Seth was dancing with Maya. I don't want to sound gay or anything, but they did look good together, and Seth looked like he really cared about her. I would've been making fun of him, but now I know what it's like to have someone mean the world to you.

I had Callie. But Callie didn't want me.

I sighed and saw that they were getting ready to throw the bouquet. I leaned against the bar, watching as all the women clustered around the designated area. The smell of determination and hope filled the air.

June winked to who I think was Laurie as she got on stage and was handed her bouquet. She turned around and threw it over her head.

It seemed to happen in slow motion, the bouquet flew through the air, and June turned around quickly to see who caught it. Someone lifted Laurie up on their shoulders, and pushed their way through the crowd, so that the flowers landed in her hands.

June laughed and Laurie was set down, revealing Rosalie who was grinning like a fool. I chuckled and Jess came to the stage where June was standing, they brought her a chair and she blushed like a fool.

She sat down on the chair, and Jesse lifted up her leg, ducking under her dress and pulling her garter off with his teeth.

June had her clasped on her mouth, she was laughing like an idiot. Collin tugged on my arm, pulling me out in the crowd before Jess threw the garter.

I sighed and before I could blink, the garter hit me flat in the face.

Collin's hand clapped on my shoulder, and I could see Jesse and June cracking up on stage.

I laughed a little bit, and my gaze flashed over to Callie who was talking to Laurie, who was still clutching the bouquet.

She was so beautiful it almost hurt.

I felt my phone buzzing in my pocket; I fished it out, and saw that I'd gotten a text message.

Guess whose back in town! Your mom said you were at some shin-dig on the first beach, I'm outside the tent, come see me!

xoxo –A

"Yo', what's going on man?" Collin asked, seeing the grin that had spread on my face.

"Allison, she's back!" I responded, starting my way back through the crowd, "I'm gonna go see her, she's just outside."

I ran outside and saw a tall silhouette of a figure. The image turned and I saw her for the first time in seven years.

"Allison!" I gasped, and the tall girl barreled into my arms.

"Brades! Man! What's up?" She grinned, looking up at me, "Damn, Boy. You got tall."

"So did you, what happened to the mischievous ten year old who barely reached my shoulders?" I smirked back and she cracked up.

"She put on a few inches, and my sneakers have thick soles." She shrugged, and I laughed as well.

"I hope they're not as thick as your head! Where have you been?" I asked, rustling her hair.

"Here, there, a bit of all over the place. Army brats are the best." She smiled brightly and I rolled my eyes.

For the basic get down, Allison is my cousin, and she was best friend as a kid. But her dad was a Marine, and so she moved around a lot. I'd only got to really hang out with her for about a year or two when we were ten before her dad had been transferred to a base in Georgia. I hadn't seen her in seven years and I'm like bursting right now.

"It's great to see, ya, but listen, I'm here at my man Jess's wedding, and it be rude for a groomsman to bail, you wanna join the party?" I offered her, and she shook her head, declining.

"I have exams all of next week, I gotta study man, that mischievous ten year old wants to go to college." She sighed, and hugged me once more. "I'm staying at your house, so I'll see you when you get home. Don't be too drunk."

"Seeya, Ali." I waved, a little disappointed.

I turned on my heel, and started toward the tents again, my eye catching how the flap of the tent seemed to be swooshing closed, I could hear a slight muffled sound of disappointment from right behind it, and then someone running away.

Callie:

"I was talking to him outside, he's really nice, Cal." Paige smiled at me weakly, trying to get me to give Brady a shot.

"I know, I have talked to him Paige, but I know how he is with girls, why should I give him an open shot at hurting me?" I responded.

"He's not what people say he is, he is a good guy, just a bit confused when it comes to girls." She bit her lip, her puppy dog pout was coming, I could tell with my Paige ESP.

"If you don't give me that look, then yes, I will give him a chance!" I cried, due to the fact I was able to be within a five mile radius of that look. It made my heart crumble.

I sighed, and she broke out in a grin.

"He's over there." She nudged me, nodding her head towards the open bar, where Brady was leaning against the counter, looking at something on his phone.

I sucked in a deep breath and started towards "I'm, just as he turned around and headed out the tent. I followed him, so that Paige wouldn't give me the look.

I peered out the flap of the tent to see him hugging a tall brunette. I got a good glimpse of her face, she was beyond gorgeous. She was grinning like there was no tomorrow.

The lying son of a bitch. He said to Paige he wasn't what people said he is? How stupid does he think I am? I cannot believe I was going to give him chance, and then he goes to start talking to another girl who he's probably charming along as well.

He's a self-centered, conceited, asshole. I told myself, turning around, a small sound of anger arising from me.

Hello there lovely readers of fanfiction. I apologize for not updating in almost a month, but I've got college crap to take care of and I'm helping my brother who broke his thumb, and my other brother who is literally just stupid for breaking my brothers thumb.

Anyway, if you want to know more about June and Jesse, go read my other story, June Black: The True Story. I'm still on the first part of it, but I'm almost done.

DO NOT HATE ME FOR THIS BUT I'M DOING SOMETHING I PROMISED MYSELF I'D NEVER DO.

I'M ASKING YOU TO REVIEW ME.

I know it is irritating when a writer asks you to review them, but the thing is, it fuels their imagination to write more. And frankly I've been getting SO little reviews. I'm plumb out of imagination. Another reason why I haven't updated. ;D

REVIEW!

Peace, Love, T-Pain,

Maddie
