The Doomed Wedding

Chapter 4

The next morning Kendall woke a little confused. He wasn't in his room and he didn't know where he was. Then memories of yesterday came to him and he smiled, realizing he stayed the night at Casey's place. He hoped his mom wasn't worried about him, he didn't say anything to her or the guys since it was a spur of the moment kind of thing. 'Oh well, I'll find out later. I smell bacon.' Kendall thought as he sniffed the air again. He looked over next to him and saw that Casey wasn't there, so he figured she was in the kitchen cooking something.

He yawned and got out of the bed then stretched. He made his way to the kitchen and the sight that welcomed him made him smile. Casey was in in her PJ's, one of his t-shirts and a pair of board shorts. She was in the middle of cooking what looked like pancakes, bacon, and toast. She was dancing a little as she cooked and twirled around when she moved, singing a sweet sounding song.

'So don't you worry your pretty little mind,

People throw rocks with things that shine.

And life makes love look hard.

But don't you worry you pretty little mind,

People throw rocks with things that shine,

But they can't take what's ours; they can't take what's ours.

The stakes are high, the waters rough,

But this love is ours.'

His smile widened as he came up behind her and wrapped his arms around, making her shriek in surprise. She turned the stove off and then turned in his arms, hitting his chest lightly when she did and laughing. "Kendall, don't do that, you scared me!" He laughed along with her then gave her a kiss on the nose.

"Sorry but I couldn't resist, you're just too cute." Kendall said which made her blush. She tried playing it off by rolling her eyes and walking away from him, getting plates out for their breakfast. "So what are you cooking?" He said and inspected the food on the stove.

"Your favorite, chocolate chip pancakes and French toast with bacon. By the way Kendall, how long were you watching me?" She said looking over her shoulder as she set the small table for the both of them. He decided to help her out and brought all the food over.

"Oh not for too long, but I did love your dance moves. And your song, is that a new one?" He asked as they both sat down and started to eat.

"Yep, it's a work in progress though. That was just the chorus."

"Well as always I loved it. So what are you doing today?" He asked looking over to her. She gave him a look and shook her head.

"What do you think? I still have things to work out and plan for our wedding remember?" She looked at him and he smiled sheepishly. "What about you?"

"Well I was hoping the two of us could spend the day together. I was thinking we could have a pajama day and spend all day locked up in here. But now that you told me your working on wedding plans, I'd rather help you do that." He said and smiled at her.

"Well how nice of you, I would love to spend the day with you." She said, smiling back at him.

"So what are we planning today?"

She thought for a second, going over everything she did yesterday. "Well I should probably go to the restaurant and tell them what we want on the menu at some point soon. I should also call Greg and ask him if he can be the ring bearer, and hopefully we can make a final decision on where we're going for the honeymoon. If we can get that done today then I'll be happy."

"We can totally get all of that done." He reassured her.

"That reminds me; did you talk to the guys and pick a best man yet?" Casey asked as she started to clear everything from the table since they were done eating.

"Yea I actually have to talk to you about yesterday." Kendall said and she stopped cleaning, giving him her full attention. "I did talk to the guys and made a decision, I just don't know if you're going to like it."

Casey looked at him confusedly. "Why wouldn't I be happy about it?"

"Well… I picked all of them to be my best man." Kendall said and she still had a confused look on her face. "Well I just figured it would be ok because you said there aren't any written rules for a wedding and since they're all my best friends."

"That's not why I'm confused. You said I wouldn't be happy about it? I kind of figured you would pick all of them once you actually started thinking about it." Casey said and smiled at him. "I don't mind Kendall; I like the idea and think its sweet. So our wedding will be a little strange, when aren't we strange already?"

"Good but there's still something I need to talk to you about, come here." He said and took her hand leading her to the couch.

"Ok what is it?" She asked, a little worried.

"Remember what I told you last night, about what Jo said?" She nodded.

"How can I forget?" He smiled at her sarcasm.

"Well I want you to stay away from her. I don't trust her and I don't want anything to happen to you. By the way Camille explained it; she's very serious about me and her getting back together. She sounds like she doesn't care what gets in her way and that scares me a bit." Kendall said, looking into her eyes.

"Ok, I'll stay away from her. Just as long as you stay away from her too, I don't want anything to happen to you either." Casey said and he smiled then kissed her.

"It's a deal." He said and they shook hands then laughed. "So why don't you go call your brother, get dressed, and then we can head over to the restaurant? Sound like a plan?" Kendall asked and she was about to answer but someone knocked on the door. They looked at each other confusedly, not expecting any company, but she got up and answered the door anyway.

What she saw on the other side really shocked her.

"Hi Casey, can I talk to you?"

"Um… sure Jo, why don't you come on in?" Casey said looking at Kendall then back to Jo as she opened the door wider. Kendall looked at Jo suspiciously, not trusting where any of this was going. He walked over to Casey's side just in case.

"Hi Kendall." Jo said smiling as she saw him, seeming to perk up a bit. Kendall smiled at her politely but cut to the chase.

"Jo what are you doing here?"

Her smile dimmed a little and she looked to the floor in shame. "I wanted to talk to you both actually. Camille probably told you what happened at her apartment yesterday and I just wanted to say I'm sorry." Casey and Kendall both looked at each other unsurely. "I was really surprised at what the two of you told me and really hurt. I just thought that Kendall and I could pick up the pieces of our relationship when I came back but I guess I didn't realize it was a lot longer than I thought it was. I didn't mean any of it, it was just all my emotions taking over and speaking for me. So I'm sorry and I hope you can forgive me."

Casey and Kendall looked at her then to each other, then back to Jo. They didn't really know what to say, they were a little shocked. Casey snapped out of it first. "Well thank you Jo, that was really nice of you."

"So just to be clear… you're not trying to break us up?" Kendall asked looking at her with unconvinced eyes.

"Of course, I would never do something like that! Like I said, it was just my anger talking, not really me." Jo said shaking her head back and forth.

"Then I guess we can forgive you." Kendall said and looked to Casey for confirmation. She nodded at smiled at Jo.

"Great, I really want us all to be friends!" Jo said as she hugged Casey, who was a little bit surprised when it happened. Jo then hugged Kendall, and both he and Casey noticed she held on a little longer than necessary.

"Well I wish we could talk more Jo but Casey and I have a full day of planning ahead of us so we have to go get ready." Kendall said and lightly pried her off of him. She frowned a little but then flashed them a smile and waved goodbye as she walked out the door.

"That was…"

"Weird?" Kendall finished for Casey.

"Yea, so should we trust her?" Casey asked as she pulled Kendall over to sit on the couch and talk again. Kendall frowned and shook his head.

"I don't know she was giving me mixed signals."

"Well I wanted to ask you this last night but after what you told me and what Lucy said, I thought it wouldn't be a good idea." Kendall gave her a confused look, urging her to go on. "Well yesterday when Lucy and I were shopping I asked her if I should invite Jo to the wedding, you know, to be polite. She told me I shouldn't because Lucy doesn't trust Jo and after what you said Camille told you, I had to agree with her. What do you think?" Casey asked and Kendall looked down in thought.

"Well wouldn't it be awkward to have my ex-girlfriend at my wedding?" Casey rolled her eyes but nodded. "But to answer your question… let's see how this whole friendship thing works out first before we make a decision."

"Kendall the wedding is in four months, do we really have time to think about this?" Casey asked looking at him unsure.

"Hey if worse comes to worse we don't invite her, it won't be a terrible crime. Now why don't you go get ready and I'll do the same so we can both go and get out of here?" Kendall said and stood, heading for the door. "I'll be back in a few minutes." And with that he left. Casey sighed as she thought of the last twelve hours. Things sure were a mess, but she did not need all this drama right before her wedding that was for sure.

'Phase one of my plan in progress.' Jo thought to herself as she walked to her friend's apartment. Jo smirked as she thought over what just happened a few minutes ago. Yea right, like she wanted to be friends with the woman who stole the love of her life. 'Just wait Casey, I'll show you just how friendly I can be. But I need help.' Jo thought as she came to Camille's door.

She heard voices inside again, and she sighed. Why could she never talk to Camille when she was alone? If she heard correctly there was about three voices in there, two female and one male. She put her ear to the door to hear if they were talking about anything important.

"Casey asked me yesterday if she should invite Jo to the wedding." An unfamiliar voice said.

"And what did you say?" The male voice said, which sounded a lot like Logan.

"The truth, that I don't trust Jo at all. That if Casey and Kendall are around Jo too much than one of them will end up hurt. No offense, I know she's your friend." The unfamiliar voice spoke again.

"None taken, even I will admit that Jo has changed and not for good." Camille said and Jo rolled her eyes.

'Why can't they see that I haven't changed, I just want what's mine back!' Jo thought angrily and pounded on the door. She calmed herself down, so they wouldn't think she was listening in and waited. Camille answered the door a few seconds later and looked at Jo surprised.

"Jo, hi, what are you doing here?" Camille asked.

Jo faked a smile. "I need your help, and it's not with Casey and Kendall breaking up." Jo said when Camille was about to interrupt. "I just saw them and told them I was sorry. But I don't know if Casey believed me or not. So I need your help with making Casey believe that I want to be her friend."

"I don't know Jo, the last time you asked for my help it was for breaking those two up, now you want to be their friend?" Camille asked unsurely, about ready to slam the door if she had to.

"Please Camille; you're the only one I can think of that can help me!" Jo said pleadingly.

Camille thought for a few seconds then sighed. "I'll think about it and tell you tomorrow." And with that she shut the door. Jo sighed and started to walk away.

'Damn, I really thought if I begged she would help me. I'll have to make myself more convincing tomorrow.' Jo thought to herself.

"That was weird." Camille said as she walked back into her apartment.

"What was?" Logan asked as him and Lucy looked up from their conversation.

"Jo just came to ask me to if I can help her and Casey be friends." Camille snorted and sat down next to Logan.

"Why would she ask that? Wasn't she the one who wanted to break Kendall and Casey up in the first place?" Lucy asked a little bitterly.

"That's what I don't get. She said she apologized to Casey and Kendall about what she said and now wants to prove to Casey that they can be friends." Camille shook her head confused. "But yesterday she was adamant about breaking them up."

"Maybe she thought it over and saw she was wrong?" Logan suggested.

"With all the rage she had yesterday? I don't think so, something's up with her." Lucy said and crossed her arms.

"Lucy you don't know that, you barely know her, so you shouldn't judge her like that. Plus you can't just assume she's up to no good." Logan said.

"Yes I can, because I don't trust her, especially now." Lucy said and shook her head. "I've got to get going; I'll see you guys later." And with that Lucy got up and left.

"What if she's right? What if we can't trust Jo?" Camille asked as she looked at her boyfriend.

"I don't know. I will admit what you told all of us yesterday was strange and a little unnerving but maybe it really was just her anger and jealousy talking. She's an old friend to us all; I think we should give her a chance, we owe her that at least." Logan answered honestly. "And if she does turn out to be completely nuts then we all get a restraining order?" He joked.

Camille laughed at this and nodded. "You're right; she is an old friend, a best friend even. I guess we should give her a chance. But would a restraining order really stop her?" Camille asked jokingly. They both laughed and decided to go to the pool and hang out.

Kendall walked back in to his fiancé's apartment to see her on the phone, smiling. He looked at her confused and she held up a finger to ask for a minute. He smiled and nodded, going to the couch to sit and wait while she finished her conversation.

"Ok, great, thanks a lot Greg. Yea I'll see you soon. Ok, love you too, bye." Casey said and hung up. She looked over to Kendall and smiled brightly. "Greg said he would be happy to be the ring bearer!"

Kendall smiled at her excitement and came over to her. "That's great, but was there ever any doubt?" He said and kissed her forehead.

"No but it is a relief to get something else off my list of things to do." She said and stood up. "Are you ready to go?" He nodded and held out his arm for her, which she happily took. The two walked out of the Palm Woods arm in arm and towards the restaurant. When they got there they were told they would have to wait a while for the owners to come in, so they decided to sit at one of the tables and chat.

"So you have any thoughts on where you want to go for our honeymoon?" Kendall asked.

"Well, I've had a few ideas but not many. I do know that I want to go somewhere that has things for us to do, you know, so we won't be stuck in the room all day." Casey replied and he smirked at her.

"Aw, but that was the part I was looking forward to most." He pouted and she kicked him under the table. "Ow, I was only kidding. I agree with you, so where were you thinking?"

"Well I was thinking the Caribbean but the majority of what you do there is just sitting on the beach or swimming. Of course I wouldn't mind that but I would get bored of it after a few days. So then I was thinking somewhere in Europe, like Paris or London?" Casey suggested.

"I've heard Italy is nice. It's romantic and has a ton of things for us to do, other than the obvious of course." He said and smirked at her. She just replied with another kick under the table. "I'm joking, calm down." He said and laughed.

"So are you saying you want to go to Italy? I think I'm starting to see a pattern in our wedding." Casey asked after she sent him a glare.

"I'm just giving you suggestions. I'm letting you choose, I don't care where we go as long as you're happy." Kendall said smiling at her. She blushed a little then noticed the owners walking in.

"We'll talk later, Carmela and Paolo are here." Casey said looking pointing to the door. They both stood up and greeted the older couple. Carmela and Paolo are a married couple in theirs sixties and came from Italy when they were young and newlyweds. They own the bistro as a restaurant and a catering business for special events. Kelly recommended them when Casey and Kendall first announced the engagement, saying that Carmela was an excellent cook who catered for one of her friend's wedding.

"Hello kids, how are you?" Paolo said as they sat at a booth to talk.

"We're good, we actually came to tell you we decided on what we want on the menu for the reception." Casey said smiling. She handed them the list of food she wrote and Carmela looked over it then showed it to her husband.

"Well this won't be hard at all, we can definitely do this." Paolo smiled. "So how is the rest of planning going? Are you almost done?"

"Yes, the last big decision we have to make is where we're going for our honeymoon." Kendall said smiling at Casey.

"Actually I also have to pick out the bridesmaids dresses and my dress but other than that we're done." Casey added as an afterthought.

"Oh good for you, are you excited?" Carmela asked with a bright smile as she clapped a couple times.

"Very." Kendall and Casey answered in unison. They both looked at each other and laughed.

"So where are you thinking to go for the honeymoon?" Carmela asked curiously.

"Well I was thinking somewhere in Europe. Maybe somewhere like Paris or London and Kendall was thinking Italy." Casey answered and the older couple nodded.

"I've been to London and Paris a couple of times before, it's not really somewhere I would want to go for my honeymoon." Kendall said shrugging his shoulders.

"Really, why?" Casey asked surprised.

"Well I want to go somewhere I've never been before, somewhere I haven't been with the guys before. I want my attention to be solely on you and if I'm in, say, London then I'll just be remembering the trouble Big Time Rush caused." Kendall answered and Casey nodded her head in understanding. "But I've never been to Italy before and I think it's very romantic, the perfect place for two newlyweds on their honeymoon."

"He's right you know. Paolo and I grew up in Italy, and it's very beautiful there. Not to be biased though." Carmela put in.

"Where did you live in Italy?" Casey asked curious.

"I was from Padua and Carmela was from Livorno. We met in college." Paolo answered. "I suggest you two go to Rome, Milan, and Venice."

"All three?" Kendall asked confused. "Isn't that expensive?"

"We're getting off pretty cheap for the wedding and reception; I think we can afford to spend a few grand for the honeymoon." Casey pointed out. Kendall thought about it and nodded.

"I'm so happy for the two of you; I know you both will be very happy together!" Carmela said as she hugged Casey then Kendall.

"Of course we will, we love each other." Kendall said and took Casey's hand in his, kissing her knuckles and making her blush brightly. "What do you say we go home and book the trip?" He said and helped her up. She nodded and they said their goodbyes to Paolo and Carmela then walked out still holding hands.

Kendall and Casey got back to her apartment relatively quickly but were surprised to see Lucy standing at the door. Said girl looked up and rolled her eyes. "There you guys are! I've been waiting here for almost an hour, where were you?" Lucy exclaimed.

"Out finishing the menu for the wedding, why, what's wrong?" Casey asked as she unlocked the door and let everyone in.

"Did Jo come see you guys earlier today? Did she ask to be friends?" Lucy asked once everyone was inside.

"Yea, she did, why?" Kendall asked as he plopped down on the couch but interested.

"I thought so; she came to Camille's apartment today and asked for her forgiveness. Jo said something about how she was wrong yesterday and it was just her anger talking." Lucy explained and the other two nodded.

"Yea she pretty much said the same thing to us. We didn't really know how to take it though." Casey said crossing her arms.

"I don't trust her, I think she's lying." Lucy said but saw the confused looks she received and decided to explain. "Look I just don't see how someone can have that much rage and jealousy one day and then the next it's all gone. I seriously think she meant what she said yesterday and will do anything she can to break the two of you up and get Kendall back. I don't trust her and I don't think she's safe."

"I do understand what you're saying Lucy, but we decided to give Jo a chance. She has a very narrow opportunity of gaining my trust but I thought it would be better than being the mean and jealous fiancé. Everyone deserves a second chance right?" Casey said.

"I believe that too I'm just saying be careful around her. I don't want to see either of you getting hurt." Lucy sighed. Casey nodded.

"Look Lucy, I get what you're feeling, I really do. I wasn't planning on leaving Jo and Casey alone if that's what you were thinking. And I wasn't planning alone with Jo either. I don't trust her much either after what she said yesterday." Kendall said looking very serious.

"I think you two are the only ones who agree with me." Lucy said and shook her head.

"Look Lucy don't worry, Kendall and I will both be careful. Besides, I have you to look out for us, right?" Casey asked as she came over and gave Lucy a quick hug.

"Of course, don't worry, I got you're back." Lucy joked as she hugged back and both girls laughed. "I've have to get going but I'll talk to you guys tomorrow ok?" Lucy said and got a nod in response. With her questions answered and her anxiety gone she gave them a smile then walked out the door, feeling a little better after having a talk with Casey and Kendall. But no one saw the upcoming trouble Jo was planning to create.
