Okay, I could give you guys a bunch of excuses about how I've been busy lately and all that but honestly, I think I just forgot about this! I wasn't even sure if people were reading anymore…. Then I decided that I didn't care and I was writing because I enjoyed it. So if anyone is reading this, here goes. (listening to the song Someone Like You while writing this)
CONSIDER THIS DISCLAIMED: I DON'T OWN THE SHOW!
Stevie's POV:
She is driving me crazy! I can't take it anymore! Kacey needs to stop moping and she needs to stop doing it now. I get that getting an invitation to Zander's wedding – that by the way, is happening exactly a year after their breakup – isn't the happiest moment for her. Especially when she knew she wasn't over him. Worse, they had been going out for 7 years, and they weren't engaged. But they breakup and suddenly a year later he's getting married? If I wasn't still friends with him, I would have called him an idiot. But honestly, he didn't even choose to get married, his mother forced him. Yup, after a seven year relationship, the poor guy is getting an arranged marriage. I know the two aren't over each other yet, so I've decided I'm going to help them both out. And he says speak now, right? Well Kacey better speak up.
Kacey's POV:
I feel terrible. Zander is getting married to some girl with a trust fund. Well I have one too you know! And he loves me. Or loved me. Something along those lines. Point is, we had actually feelings for each other. There is no way seven years just melted out like that within a year for him. What's worse it something that I'm not even telling Stevie. At the party, right before the wedding, I have to sing for the soon to be married couple. Isn't that just great? I had an idea of what I was going to sing to them… let's just say it wasn't a happy, get ready to be married kind of song.
Day of the wedding: party beforehand
"Hey, Kacey. Long time no see, huh?" Zander came up to me. So I have an excuse – he approached me. What is he saying, long time no see? Of course we haven't seen each other – we broke up. And it wasn't a friendly mutual thing. It wasn't even our decision. I honestly can't say how it happened.
"Huh, yeah. Like what, a year now?" Actually a year, 3 hours, 5 minutes, and 20 seconds. But I wasn't about to tell him all that.
"Yeah I think so. Listen, something you have to know about today…" I cut him off. I really didn't want to hear about this amazing girl he was marrying, and it was time for me to sing.
"Yeah that's great, Z. Listen, I have to go preform now, talk to you later?" Yeah right, more like avoid you later. This wasn't going to be easy. He just nodded and I went up on stage. "Okay, I know this isn't your traditional pre-marital music, but I love this song. And it's a perfect description of feelings. Here goes."
"I heard… that you're settled down.
That you…. Found a girl and you're married now….
I heard…. That your dreams came true.
Guess she gave you things, I didn't give to you.
Old friend, why are you so shy? Ain't like you to hold back
Or hide from the light…
I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited but I….
Couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded that for me
It isn't over.
Never mind I'll find, someone like you.
I wish nothing but the best for you two
Don't forget me, I beg
I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead…."
Zander's POV:
That was amazing. Kacey was still as good as I remembered her to be… and I remembered her being amazing. I understood her song choice, I just wish she gave me a chance to explain that I didn't want to marry Hayden. I don't care if she had money or not, I didn't love her. Not how I loved Kacey. And I could tell that Hayden didn't want to marry me either. I had to go talk to her.
"Hey Hayden."
"Zander, what are you doing here?! We aren't supposed to see each other before the wedding!"
"This is going to sound rude but I don't want to see you during it either. At least, not during our wedding. I can't do this. We don't love each other and we both know it. I know you still have feeling for Zack, and I'm sure he still loves you. I also know that I have feelings for Kacey, and she feels them too. I can't marry you while I love someone else. That isn't fair to either of us."
"I understand Zander. And what you said about Zack… you think that's true?"
"Well I know if the girl I loved was getting married and I had an invitation, I'd be sitting at the bar with a sullen face, just like he is." At this she smiled and gave me a hug. She went to go change out of her dress so we could tell everyone what we decided.
So they tell everyone, yada yada yada. Tears, happiness, get togethers.
"Kacey, I know you said 'never mind, I'll find someone like you' but I don't like how that sounds. Instead of someone like me, you think you could just take me?" I looked at her with a hopeful face. This would be a terrible way to be rejected… I broke off my wedding! Instead of a rejection, I got an arm full of Kacey. She was hugging me! That meant she would take me back.
"Can we pretend this past year never happened and that we're just us again? Because I really don't want to start over with you." She asked me this and I realized I didn't want it like that either.
Kacey's POV:
I waited there for his answer. I hoped he would say yes because after seven years, he still hadn't proposed, and I'm not getting any younger. Starting over would be hell! He cracked a small smile and responded, finally, "Yes Kacey. We can pretend it never happened, because I want to start exactly where we left off."
"Screaming at each other and throwing things?"
"Okay, so maybe not exactly…." I smiled at this. He started laughing, and I quickly leaned over and kissed him. A year later, but he still felt like home. After we broke apart, I looked over to see Hayden and Zack in the same position I had just been in with Zander. This made me smile and when Zander followed my gaze to see what I was smiling at, a little smirk formed on his face. Again, I leaned over to kiss his smirk away, and responded with just as much passion. So maybe it had been a year, but we were both stronger than that, and we needed people like each other. Scratch that, not like each other, we needed each other.
Happier ending than Adele got, but she won five Grammys for that album, and I'm sitting at home, bored and typing this, so Adele wins…. I was pretty proud of that one shot, but mainly because I've been gone for so long. As always, leave a review to tell me what you think but please don't just straight out hate! There is a difference between hate and constructive criticism, I prefer the latter.
Love Always,
Hearts 3
