A/N: I own nothing except for the plot. I decided to do a time jump of three months. Don't judge me.

It had been three months since Kitty and Ryder had gotten engaged and a lot has changed. I don't talk to Ryder as much because he's always 'wedding planning'. I used to love coming to work now all I hear is wedding plans. Jesse and I have been dating since that one night at Breadstix. The group had gotten used to me dating Jesse except for Ryder, Santana, and Finn. Brittany liked him because she thought he was Mr. Schue's son and Rachel was friends with him so she's okay with it. Kitty loves him probably because he keeps me away from Ryder. I hear a knock at my door. I say "Come in."

It's Jesse. "Your mother let me in. She says she's leaving to take care of your sick grandmother."

"Yeah, she's in hospice right now so my mom's going to be there with her. I don't get how she can take it though. I couldn't stand seeing someone I love dying slowly, especially my mom."

"She's strong. Just like you Marley Rose."

"I'm not strong. I'm weak. I've always been this way."

"You're so strong. I love you." He kisses me.

I'm shocked he said this for the first time. I don't love him yet though. I still love Ryder but I care about Jesse. He pulls away. I lie "I love you too."

Jesse says happily "You do? This is the happiest day of my life."

He kisses me and I respond by kissing back. He may not be Ryder but he's a good kisser. This turns into a make out session when we lie down, him on top of me. We start using tongue and he starts to tug at the hem of my shirt. "I-I can't Jesse. I'm sorry I can't have sex with you."

"Oh, I'm so sorry. Are you a virgin? I shouldn't have pushed you. We can have sex whenever you feel ready."

"Thank you for respecting me. I've only had sex once and I'm not ready yet."

"It's fine. Now if I may, who did you lose your virginity to? Was it Jake?"

"No, it was Ryder. It was the night before I left for New York. I made love for the first time four years ago and it was the only time I ever had sex."

"It's alright, Marley. We could just watch a movie or something."

"Can we watch Catching Fire? It's obviously the best movie out of all of them."

"Sure, Marls. I love you."

I just kiss him.

I am downtown with Rachel and I ask her "Do you think I should have sex with Jesse?"

She says "You guys haven't had sex yet? Wow, have you even said I love you yet?"

"Well he said he loved me and I panicked and said I loved him too when I really don't. So what should I do?"

"You lied? Why?"

"Because I love Ryder. I love Ryder Lynn so much it hurts. I love him with all my heart, soul, mind and every fiber of my being. I love him so much it hurts. It hurts when I see with Kitty. It sucks. I love him so much I want to cry. I love him so much I want to scream. I want him to make passionate slow love to me. I love him so much I want him slam me against the wall and fuck me so hard. I love him and want to kiss him, hug him and say he's my boyfriend. I want to marry my best friend Ryder Lynn who I love more than anyone in the entire world. I want to have goofy looking babies with my eyes and his dopey smile. I want to live in his parent's house and raise our kids and grow old together because we love each other."

"Wow, tell him then. You just said the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. Minus the fuck me against the wall thing but still. You have to tell him."

I start to tear up, "I can't. He's getting married to Kitty in 2 days. Did you know she asked Santana to be her maid of honor? And Brittany. Finn's going to be the best man and Sam, Blaine, and Kurt will be the best men. I can't just break up a wedding. I'm going to have sex with Jesse. It'll end this thing with Ryder. I only think I still love Ryder because he's the only person I ever had sex with. But when I have sex with Jesse, everything will be fixed. Let's go to Tina's boutique, she has dresses and lingerie and stuff like that."

I see Santana in there already. "San, what are you doing here? Trying on a dress?"

Brittany comes out of one of the dressing rooms and says "How do I look matching you, Tana? Oh, hey Marley."

I was about to ask why they were matching when Kitty and Tina come out and Kitty's dressed in white. "Well, what do you guys think? Kitty twirls for us and looks like a princess. I give Tina a look and she mouths 'Sorry, business is business.'

I say with a fake smile "Kitty, you look beautiful. I'm so happy that you guys are getting married."

Kitty says "Thank you. Actually can we talk alone? Tina, can you bring them into your tailoring room?"

"Sure, Brittana, Rachel. Let's go." They go in to the tailoring room.

Kitty asks "Help me with the zipper?" I nod and she reveals she's in a corset and leggings. She puts on her sweatshirt and says "I'm so glad you're cool with all of this. Ryder and I would really love it if you would come to the wedding. Since you're with Jesse now, he can come too."

"Thanks so much, Kitty. You're acting very mature about this."

She looks at the door and whispers "Okay, now at this point I know they stopped listening because of our boring fest. I swear if you get in the way of Ryder and I's wedding I'll personally kick your bony ass. So just stay the hell away at the wedding. And the reception. Just go with Jesse St. Lames and screw up his life with you and your mom Strawberry Hugecake."

I whisper back "I knew you weren't that nice. Ryder loves me and I love him so good luck marrying that. He'll never love you as much as he loves me."

Kitty says "You guys can come out now." They get out and Kitty says "So, what did you guys come here for anyway?"

Rachel says "Oh, we were just here for Marley to buy her-"

"Some time off. I needed to take a break. We're going to go now."

Ryder's POV

My parents just got into town from and I'm having lunch with my dad. While my mother was hanging out with Finn's mom.

Dad asked "Seriously, we had to come to Breadstix. This is literally the only place in Lima to eat."

I chuckle "Dad, this place is great and you said we could talk. I've wanted to talk to you but since you and mom are traveling the country in the trailer I can't talk to you and I need advice."

"What is it? Are you gay son? Because I totally accept you if you are. You were little weirdly close friends with that half black kid."

"No, Dad. Ew, Jake? No I love Kitty."

"Then marry her. You already have everything planned out."

"But I'm in love with Marley too. I don't know what to do."

"Son, did I ever tell you how my mother and I got together?"

"No, how?"

"I was madly in love with your mother the first time I ever saw her. But I had this annoying girlfriend named Lucy. Lucy and I were supposed to get married and we almost did until your mother beat up Lucy and she lost a tooth. Then you mother and I got together."

"Shut up. Mom didn't beat up some chick. She's a mom."

"Well, we were in the first grade but we've been together ever since. Does Kitty know you love Marley?"

"A while back I kissed well, made out with Marley and Kitty said my heart was conflicted."

"Well, since I have a PhD in psychology let's put it to use. There was this one client and she was saying that there's one spot in her heart that can only be filled by one person, does that sound familiar to you?"

"Yeah, it does. I can't cancel though."

"Why not? I have plenty of money where that came from so another wedding won't be a problem."

"No, before I came here I was at Finn's and he and Rachel were talking about Marley. I went over and out my ear up to the door and I couldn't hear very well but they said Marley loves Jesse, her boyfriend. I blew my chance."

"Hey, you're a Lynn and Lynn's don't give up. I know Marley truly loves you. I could tell she's loved you since you were five year olds. You love each other."

"But I love Kitty too. And we're getting married. In two days.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

I've been thinking all day about who to pick. Marley or Kitty. I keep going back and forth. They'd both be good. Hopefully Kitty can't read minds. She's asleep in our bed while I'm wide awake thinking. I hear my phone ring. "Hey, Rach."

"I need to talk to you. Meet me at the park. Come alone."

She hangs up. I say to myself 'Uh, okay.' I silently get ready and drive to the park.

I see Rachel in a trench coat and she's shivering, "Hey Ryder."

"Hey, what did you need that couldn't wait until morning?"

"You can't marry Kitty."

"Why not?"

"Don't talk, just listen." She pulls out her phone and goes to voice memos and pulls up a recording of Marley. My heart skips a beat when she says she loves me. She loves me the same way I love her. The recording ends and Rachel asks "After hearing that can you honestly tell me that Kitty's the one?"

"I'll be honest Kitty will always be special to me. But no one can replace the hole in my heart from Marley. She's the one. She's my person. I have to see her."

"Wait, Ryder you can't go over there."

"Why not?"

"She's with Jesse. They're having sex." When Rachel said this I couldn't breathe. My heart just broke.

A/N: Cliffhanger! Hi guys! This chapter's hella long so don't judge. I'll be updating more often because I'm on break. Please review, follow and or favorite. Until then, you guys are amazing.

Ember411: I'm glad you thought my egg jokes were egg-cellent.

TeaAndGlee: I hate the Kyder part too. I guess there's some Ryley romance in this chapter since they say they love each other and Papa Lynn and Rachel are the biggest Ryley shippers ever so.

Guest: They do! Kitty is just too blinded from the shininess of her ring to see it.
