Chapter 12
Disclaimer:I do not own the Lyrics to Fallin' by Alicia Keys.
A: N let's just say most people will definitely not be expecting what's about to happen. This story is taking a shocking and very dramatic twist! Note that I do promise a happy and very fluffy ending for all my fluff lovers. So please don't hate me too much! I have warned you. On with the story:)
Moze grabbed the keys from her mom's purse in the lobby, and walked out to the parking lot. She got into her parents car, put the keys in the ignition and hit the gas. Ned had driven his car here, so this was her only option. She cranked up the radio to full blast, the last thing she needed right now was to be thinking about him.
It just so happened that some annoying love song was playing, only making her think of him more.
I keep on fallin' I keep on
In and out of love
With you
Sometimes I love ya
Sometimes you make me blue
Sometimes I feel good
At times I feel used
Lovin you darlin'
Makes me so confused
Fallin'
In and out of love with you
I never loved someone
The way that I love you
Oh, oh , I never felt this way
How do you give me so much pleasure
And cause me so much pain
Just when I think
I've taken more than would a fool
I start fallin' back in love with you
She couldn't bare to listen to it any longer, so she flipped stations and landed on a random rock station. The song was overwhelming, and she had it cranked up so loud she could barley hear anything. Which was a good thing, but it didn't stop her from being consumed in thoughts.
How could she have been so stupid? But most importantly, how could he have let her be so stupid? He was with Suzie, but he let her kiss him. It was as if none of this fazed him.
Moze let the tears fall down her face, it's not like anyone was here to witness it. She hated crying, it was the biggest sign of vulnerability, but right now it didn't matter she felt too heartbroken to keep this all inside.
The tears were streaming, flowing heavily down her face. She loved Ned more than anyone in the world and the thought of him not feeling the same made her heart ache with agony. Why did she have to be in love with the one guy she couldn't have? If how she felt about Ned wasn't love, she had no clue what was! Moze never felt this way about anyone!
Honestly, this was the hardest she had cried in years. The tears were now flowing so hard she could hardley see.
The last thing she remembered was gripping the steering wheel, before her whole world became black.
Ned was frantic. He had been looking for Moze for over an hour. He knew he messed up, but everything was clear to him now. He wasn't in love with Suzie, it was Moze he wanted. Why he had to figure this out now, he had no clue. Moze was missing, and he had to find her. Who knew where she was.
After checking everywhere in the Reception hall, he walked outside to the parking lot, pushing the door open.
"Moze?" Ned called.
There was no answer. He stood there for a few more minutes to see if she might some how magically appear. How could he have let all of this happen? If anything bad happened to her he would never forgive himself.
He eventually came to his senses and walked back inside, to see Rose.
"Have you seen my sister?" She asked puzzled. "There was something I wanted to tell her."
"No I haven't. I've been looking all over for her!" Ned explained.
He sighed; he would do anything, just to have her here with him, to hold her in his arms. Who knew where she was, and he couldn't help but think the worst. She had left in a pretty frazzled state, and unfortunately it was all his fault.
"Hmm, maybe she's in the bathroom?" Rose pushed open the restroom door and called out: "Jennifer? Are you in there?"
This gave Ned a ray of hope. He obviously hadn't thought to check there.
Unfortunately for Ned there was no answer.
"Weird!" She said clutching on to her dress to keep it form dragging on the floor. "Did you check outside?"
"Uh-huh" Was all he could manage, his ray of hope now shattered.
"I'll go get Jason and see if he's seen her." She said.
Ned followed, sulking behind her.
"Jason there you are!" Rose cried, wrapping her arms around him.
"Hey Sweetie, is everything all right?" He asked seeing her frantic expression.
"Jennifer's missing!" She said with out the slightest hesitation.
"Really? Did you check outside?" Jason asked curiously.
"Ned did." She explained gesturing towards him, as he stepped out from behind Rose.
"Huh? That's weird; did you ask your mom if she saw her?"
"No I didn't think of that!" Rose said excitedly pecking him on the cheek. "Thanks!"
Rose ran over to go talk to Mrs. Mosley.
Ned knew Moze had to be around somewhere, so he went back out to the parking lot; maybe he had just missed her.
Pushing the door open once again he noticed something odd. The Mosely's car was missing. Hmmm…
He ran back inside wondering if she had taken it, when he found Lawrence sitting by the door crying.
"What's wrong?" Ned asked sympathetically, crouching down to Lawrence's level.
"My sister's missing!" He said sobbing.
"Don't worry buddy!" Ned said comforting him. "We'll find her."
"I hope so!" Lawrence said quietly, tears still streaming down his face.
Ned shuddered at the thought of not finding her.
"Ned?" He heard his mother call from down the hall.
"Yeah mom?" Ned called back.
"Come here for a second, I need to talk to you." She projected loudly.
Ned got up slowly, taking Lawrence's hand in his. What could his mother possibly want?
He found her sitting at the head of the bridal table most of the guests had left now, seeing as to it was almost 2:00 in the morning. She looked exhausted and pretty upset.
"Did you find Moze?" Ned asked, holding onto the last bit of hope he had left.
"No, that's what I wanted to talk to you about." She said her voice taking on a serious tone.
Ned let out a giant breath; he hadn't even noticed that he had been holding in.
"Alright," He responded.
Lord please let us find Moze. He silently prayed, while waiting for his mother to speak.
Lawrence was still gripping Ned's hand.
"Why don't you go find Tammy?" Ned asked shooing him off.
"Okay!" He said, his face lighting up again.
His mother sounded serious so he took a seat next to her.
After Lawrence finally left, his mom spoke.
"We all know what happened Ned." She said quietly.
"You mean the kiss?" He asked.
It left him breathless just thinking about it.
"Of course I mean the kiss." She said, some what annoyed. "You don't kiss just anyone like that especially when you have a girlfriend."
"I know I screwed up, but things are really clear to me now, it's Moze who I like. Not like, Love. I love her Mom!"
Mrs. Bigby Smiled. "I'm glad to see you finally realized this."
Ned smiled back.
"But Ned you have to remember you are with Suzie and Moze has every right to be upset."
"I know," Ned said sighing sadly.
"And now that she's missing, I need to know what the last words she said to you were."
Ned raked his brain thinking back to a few hours ago,
"We can't do this!" He remembered her saying sadly, as her voice echoed in his head, he also remembered tears welling up in her eyes. "Your with Suzie, it's not fair to her."
"Moze, Moze, Wait! Moze..." He remembered shouting but it had been too late she was already gone.
Just thinking about the tears that were in her eyes made his heart ache. Moze hardly ever cried. Knowing that he had caused her tears only made him feel ten times worse.
"We can't do this, you're with Suzie." Ned said reciting exactly what she had said to him only a few hours ago.
"Okay… did she leave any kind of indication as to where she went?" Mrs. Bigby asked.
"No if she had, I would have found her by now." Ned said sarcastically.
"This is not the time for sarcasm Ned." She said sternly.
It was then that Ned felt his phone vibrate in his pocket.
"Hello!" Ned said excited at the thought that it might be Moze.
"Oh… uh-huh… I see… I'll tell them…. Thanks." Ned said softly.
He hung up the phone slowly grasping onto it for a little longer than necessary. He slipped it back into his jacket pocket and looked directly at his mother.
"Moze is in a coma!" Ned exclaimed.
This time it was his turn to cry.
A: N Now I bet no one was expecting that! Am I right??
