Chapter Six

"You may now kiss the bride," the minister rejoiced. The whole room applauded and started cheering. I smiled from my place at the altar and watched as my sister and her husband ran out of the room.

Once the applause died down, I picked up my long, dark purple dress and walked over to where my friends were seated.

"Hey, you," Lockwood grinned. "You look gorgeous as always. I couldn't take my eyes off of you up there," he said and gave me a quick kiss.

I pulled away and saw Chloe staring at us. I stared back at her until she looked away. Some people need to learn how to mind their own business.

"Let's go party!" Holly laughed. She led the way into the party room. It was a huge room filled with tables, a dance floor, and a bunch of food that I couldn't wait to explore. The back wall was all windows and gave a clear view of the lake. It was gorgeous.

George walked right over to food and Holly joined Caroline at her table. I looked at Lockwood and he reached out his hand. "Want to dance?" He asked with his special grin.

I smiled and let him lead me to the dance floor just as a slow dance song came on.

I found a love for me

Darling just dive right in

And follow my lead

I rested my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes. He had both hands on my waist and my arms were wrapped across his neck.

Well I found a girl beautiful and sweet

I never knew you were the someone waiting for me

I took my head off of his shoulder and looked up at him. He was looking down at me with a smile.

'Cause we were just kids when we fell in love

Not knowing what it was

I will not give you up this time

He brought his lips down to mine. There was a moment where our lips barely touched. I knew in that moment, that he was the boy I was meant to spent my life with. He finally kissed me and I felt my insides turn to jello.

But darling, just kiss me slow, your heart is all I own

And in your eyes you're holding mine

We pulled apart and smiled at each other. I didn't think it was possible to love him even more, but I knew that I loved him ten times more when he looked at me the way he did.

Baby, I'm dancing in the dark with you between my arms

Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song

I put my head back on his shoulder and swayed to the music.

When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath

But you heard it, darling, you look perfect tonight

Lockwood titled my head up so I was straight in his eyes. "Lucy," he started. "There was something I've been meaning to tell you. I knew I should've said it ages ago, but I know I need to say it now."

This was it. The moment I've been waiting for. He was finally going to say the words that I've been so scared to say.

He smiled at me. "I l-"

Before he could finish his sentence, Chloe came up behind me and tapped him on the shoulder. "Mind if I cut in?" She asked politely.

Lockwood, being the sincere person he is, agreed hesitantly. He looked at me for approval and I nodded my head.

I walked over to where George was sitting and sat down next to him. I rested my head on my chin and took a cookie from his plate.

"What's wrong with you?" He asked and grabbed the cookie back from my hand.

"Nothing. Nothing at all," I mumbled. I looked back to where Lockwood and Chloe were dancing and almost gagged. I looked away and focused on Holly and Caroline. They were dancing and laughing together.

Why can't my relationship be that simple? I felt like Lockwood and I were always chasing each other, but never reaching one another.

Jocelyn came over to our table and asked George to dance. He looked surprised and excited. He took Jocelyn's hand and walked out onto the dance floor.

Great. I was all alone again.

I got up and walked to the bathroom. I didn't want to be mad at Lockwood. I did tell him that it was okay, but one part of me just wished that he would've told her no.

I looked at myself in the mirror. My face was flushed and my hair looked a little wild. I understand why Lockwood would choose Chloe over me. I mean, she was drop dead gorgeous and I was just average. He could have any girl he wanted, so why did he choose me?

I wasn't anything special. I didn't have long blonde hair, blue eyes, and a perfect smile. The only thing I was good at was listening to ghosts and even that wasn't going to last forever.

I shook my head. I was being silly. Lockwood loved me, I knew that. He would never do anything to hurt me. He loved me for everything I was and wasn't.

I took a deep breath and left the bathroom. As I walked back into the party room, I stopped dead in my tracks. I let out a sob and leaned against the door frame. I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

Lockwood was kissing Chloe. I stood there and watched for a second, staring in total disbelief. Lockwood pulled away and looked in my direction. His face turned pale once he noticed me. His mouth opened and he shook his head. He pushed Chloe away and called my name.

He said something else, but I didn't hear. I was too busy running out of the room, tears streaming down my face.
