Okay so there is very good reason as to why I have not updated in while they are
- Work
- I went on holiday
- I also found this very hard to write.
However I got a little of help from my picket fence and so there it is Day 10 - A Wedding (this one connoted to Day 1 so enjoy)
The car came to a slow stop just around the corner from the church, there were two reasons for that (or so Aqua kept telling herself) the 1st of which, was that she knew that she couldn't get closer to the church on a day like today the 2nd being she needed the walk to convince herself that this was a good idea. As much as she tried to convince herself were wise she knew it was the latter. She had one last look in the mirror before opening the door and stepping on to the sidewalk. There was a small chill in the air and gray clouds far off in the distance; but for the most part it wasn't a bad day for a wedding. As she grow closer to the church she could see cars parked along the street and wedding guest stood on the steps awaiting the bride and groom. Larxene kept looking at her watch as Demyx was talking at her (from this faraway Aqua couldn't hear what he was saying but she assumed it had something to do with music for later) Aqua turned her attention to Kairi who was fixing Sora's tie, Namine and Xion were close by waiting for Ven and Roxas and then there was Riku who looked bored. A gray car pulled up in front of the church and people stared to make there way into the church. Aqua watched the car door open and a very smart looking Ven walked out closely flowed by Roxas, Aqua was surprised how well her friends could scrub up, next Axel who went up to save Larxene from Demyx, He put his arms around her tummy where she was staring to show just a little, Aqua still couldn't quite believe that those two were going to bring up a baby but she was happy for them. The last person out of the car was Terra. He was wearing a suit the same and Axel's, all with a yellow flower of some kind. He looked good in a suit. Terra walked up to the others on the stairs and smiled he looked happy. Part of her wanted to run to him and wanted to tell him everything but what did she expect to happen. That he would change his mind and they would run off in to the gray skies of Seattle and they would have a white picket fence somewhere. No. She knew better than that, life wasn't a fairytale and how could she do that to her anyway. No. He was happy and she would be happy for him.
"Aqua?" She turned around to see who had called her. It was Terra's mother.
"You made it" She said as she came to stand in front Aqua.
"Mrs. Dohring" Aqua said with a smile.
"He was worried you wouldn't come you know, I told him he was being silly."
"I'm not going in" Aqua said with all the confidence she could muster
"What? You came all the way out here and you're all dressed up" She looked hurt Aqua flet bad for making her upset on her sons wedding day because she had always liked her but it had taken until right now to make the choice.
"I spent the whole drive over thinking that this was a good Idea, but" Aqua couldn't find the words to say how she was feeling, Mrs. Dohring put her hand on Aqua shoulder.
"I just can't" it was almost a whisper. "I shouldn't have come" all confidence from earlier now left her. Mrs. Dohring did the only thing a mother would do at that point. She pulled Aqua into a hug.
"You are welcome in my house anytime" Aqua nodded not trusting herself to say anything to the older woman.
"You should go in, you'll be late" Aqua managed to get out.
"You're right. I hope to see you soon" Mrs. Dohring said as she pulled away from the hug. Aqua just nodded with a sad smile. She watched as Mrs. Dohring crossed the street back to the church. Aqua was about to leave for her car when she hard another car pall up. She watched as bridesmaids pored out of the car filling the sidewalk. They were all wearing long off yellow dresses with no sleeves. A man was next out of the car, who must have been her father because he helped her out of the car. She looked wonderful (Although wouldn't have expected anything less from her). She watched from across the street as she walked up that stairs and the music stared to play. Aqua didn't stay much longer after that. She could have watched them come out of the church, but that would have been just too much.
It was much later in the day when she got a call from Larxene
"I'm going to ask you a question and if you give the wrong answer we're going to have a problem." Aqua could hear Demyx's band in the background and people talking she guessed the partly was going well.
"Where are you?" Aqua thought about lying and telling her that she had a work thing that came up but Larxene had a superpower for knowing when someone is lying.
"I'm at home" Aqua said as she turned off the TV, There was nothing on away.
"Why? I though we had a deal. You were going to come here and show everyone" Aqua took a deep breath
"I just can't"
"What do you mean you can't" Larxene said putting her drink down. "It's a party, you can party with the best of them. Free food, free drink"
Aqua shook her head "It's not free she paying for it"
"Even better" Larxene watched guest on the dance floor she had lost Axel awhile ago and wasn't sure where Riku was either so she sat at her table and watched people make fools of themselves.
"I was there, this morning" Aqua said moving to kitchen to find something to eat
"What?
"Outside the church, I saw him get out of the car. He looked so happy, I couldn't take that away from him" Aqua opened the fridge, she needed to go food shopping,
"What about you? I tell you what, lets go to a bar"
"Larxene you are pregnant. You can't drink" Aqua said as she poured the spaghetti hops into a blow and put them in the microwave.
"I know but I can watch you! Then at 5am I will drag your sorry ass home and you spend all the next day telling how stupid I am" Larxene watched as some woman she didn't know gave her a judgemental look, Larxene just smiled at her.
"I'm happy with my spaghetti hops thank you" Aqua took them out of the microwave and grabbed a spoon.
"There my spaghetti hops"
"Well there in my fridge" Aqua sat back down on the sofa.
"That's not what we're talking about" the blonde took another drink.
"Larxene-"
"Okay fine. You stay at home and be sad and I will stay here until you change your mind"
"Thank you"
"Whatever" Larxene said hanging up the phone and putting it back in her bag. She took another drink whishing it was something stronger. She put her hand on there tummy.
"your godmother is a real pain in the ass sometimes, I'm telling your right now-"
"Talking to peanut" Larxene looked up to see Terra taking a seat next to her, his was not as tidy as it been this morning and he had lose is tie somewhere.
"When you carry around a person you are never truly alone, where's your bride?"
Terra looked around "Talking to her crazy aunt I think" Larxene nodded not that she really cared where she was. "So you and peanut having a good time"
"Cut the crap Terra, she not coming"
"Who?" Terra asked trying to look confused
"Don't play stupid with me, you know very who" Terra looked at his shoes
"She say why?" Larxene blinked a couple of times before gracing that with an answer.
"You're an idiot, why do you think?" Larxene had never been one for sugar coating anything and she wasn't going to start now.
"Larxene…"
"Don't you Larxene me, you did this to her!" Terra took a deep breath and run a tried hand over his face "what should I do?"
"We don't care do we peanut? No see he agrees" She took another drink just to make her point. Terra smiled "You know Axel thinks that he's a girl" Larxene just rolled her eyes "Axel thinks a lot of things that aren't helpful. But Aqua is at home if that helps" Terra looked around the room. It was busy and had a good hour before he had to make a speech. "Thanks" He said and got up form the table. Larxene watched as Terra made his over to his new wife and told her something, they kissed and he left.
"What I tell you peanut?"
Aqua had given up trying to find anything on TV, so she decided to start on her story for this week, it was better than sitting around being sad at lest this way she could do something useful. She hadn't being very long when there was a knock at her door, which was odd for this time of night. Aqua thought it might have been the new guy from upstairs whose door always got stuck. She got up from the table and moved to the door. Aqua opened the door to reveal not the guy from up stairs but a very wet looking Terra.
"Terra?" Aqua just looked at him
"Hi, Can I come in it's wet" He didn't look as tidy as he did this morning
"Yeah sure" She moved to the left to let him in, Aqua closed the door behind him and turned to look him. Aqua didn't know what to say so she waited for him to say something.
"It's raining" Of all the openings that not what she thought he would go with.
"I can see that" she said crossing her arms over her chest.
"It was raining the day we met on that bus, remember?" I smiled at the memory.
"You didn't come all the way here to talk about the rain did you Terra?" He looked at his shoes. "Why are you here?"
He kept looking at his shoes for what felt like forever, when he looked up Aqua could see the hurt in his eyes.
"I'm having a party and someone very impotent to me isn't there and I would like to know why?" Aqua wasn't ready for the hurt in his voice at that moment everything she had thought of saying to him had gone. "well?"
"I can't" Aqua said trying very hard to hold her ground.
"You can't?" He sound hurt again "Why not? It's not like you're so busy over her-"
"Because you were my picket fence" Aqua shouted having lost her cool she wasn't going to have him come over here and be angry with her. He looked shocked. "You were my picket fence Terra and I won't watch you have that with someone different, so I am so sorry I didn't make it to the happiest day of your life, because it's the saddest day of mine." Aqua could feel the tears she had been trying so hard to stop all day finally give out.
"Aqua I"
"Don't say anything okay, Just go back to your party please" Aqua wiped away the tears and went to open the door but was stopped by Terra's hand, she turned to look at him. His other hand followed coming to the other side of her head, pinning her to the door. When she looked up theirs faces were so close that it only take a couple more inches and she could kiss him, just like she wanted to.
"We can't do this. I wont do that to her" he nodded his head
"What happens now? What about you?" Aqua took a deep breath,
"You are going to back to your wife where you should be" her voice too shaky and not so full of anything anymore "and I am going to a bar with Larxene where I should be" Terra nodded again and moved his hands so he could open the door, Aqua got away from him before she did something silly like ask him to stay.
"Wait" she said as he was about to go for good. Terra waited as she left and came back with an umbrella. It was the same one he had run off that bus to give her. "It's raining" She said with a smile and handed it to him.
"Thank you. Maybe we should go for coffee sometime" he smiled but it didn't reach his eyes. Aqua nodded
"Maybe" with that he was gone.
