The Story of Us Chapter 13
Sparks Fly
We walked into the chapel. It was swarming with commotion. The church was full of people, most of which was family of Jules and Wen's. We quickly found Ray, Stella, and Scott sitting in a phew.
We walked over to them and when they saw us the stood up.
Ray and Scott, like Charlie, wore suits and dress shoes.
Stella wore a black dress that ruffled below the waist. It had rhinestones on the top edge and a single diamond on her hip. Her shoes matched, black heals, with a diamond on each shoe.
Her makeup was simple, mascara, and light pink lipstick with her nails painted glittery silver
She wore black earrings that were shaped like bows and black and silver bracelets.
"We saved some seats for you." Stella declared.
They scooted down making room for us. The line up went me, Mo, Charlie, Ray, Stella, Scott, Scott on the other end.
Just as I sat down I heard my name being called. I looked around for who the voices belonged too, Mr. and Mrs. Gifford, Wen's dad and Sydney. I stood up and walked over to them.
"Olivia? Is that really you?" Sydney asked.
"Yeah," I nodded. "Its me,"
"Have you and Wen been in contact recently?" Mr. Gifford asked.
I nodded slowly. "Yeah I ran into him at Dante's. I'm singing there again." I told them. "Ever since then we've been hanging out more."
"Well he really missed you. He wouldn't stop talking about you after you left." Said Sydney.
I smiled. "Really?"
His dad nodded. "I bet he's really glad you came tonight."
My smile decreased a little, but before we could talk anymore, the organ started playing signaling to sit down.
"See you ate the reception," he said quickly.
I made my way back to my seat and sat beside Mo. The room went silent and everyone turned to watch the groomsmen walk down the aisle, along with Wen.
Its funny. I had always imagined Wen's wedding just like this, except Mo and Stella would be bridesmaids and Charlie, Scott and now Ray by Wen's side. And for me, I'd be walking down the aisle and meet Wen at the altar.
I didn't realize until now that tears were filling my eyes.
Suddenly the song changed, and everyone stared as Jules walked down the aisle with her dad.
I watched as she made it to the altar joining hands with Wen. He smiled, and that's when I couldn't take it anymore. I stood up and walked out of the church, pushing through the back door. People watched me but I didn't care.
"I'll handle it," Mo whispered.
I didn't know exactly where I was going, but I knew I had to get as far away from that place as possible. I walked along the streets searching for store or restaurant. It was odd for it to be so cold in the middle of summer, so I am guessing it was about to rain. I hurried into a nearby smoothie place and took a seat at one of the tables. Not even a minute later, Mo rushed in and joined me at the table.
"I'm sor-" I started, but she stopped me.
"Don't, its ok. I know." She put her hand on mine. "You wish it was you up there with him."
I nodded, letting a few tears fall.
"Hey!" someone said tapping my back.
I wiped my tears away before Mo and I turned to see a boy who looked about 15.
"Aren't you Mo and Olivia from Lemonade Mouth?" he asked.
"Ummm."
"Yeah! You two are! Hey Mom! These are the girls from the band I always talk about."
A woman who looked about in her mid thirties walked up to us.
"Hi, I'm Sally, the owner of this place, Sally's Smoothies. This is my son Jake."
"Hey, I'm Mo and this is Olivia." Mo introduced with a small time, I just nodded.
"It's a pleasure meeting you. You don't think you could perform just one song?" she asked gesturing to the small stage in the back of the store.
"Well, I don't think—" Mo started but I cut her off.
"Sure."
"Olivia!" Mo whisper scolded.
"Why not?" she started to mouth something else but I had already turned back to Sally.
"We'd love too,"
"Great! Follow me!" we stood up and followed her.
"What are you? Bipolar? First your crying and now you want to sing on stage in front of people?" Mo whispered.
"It's weird, I know, but singing always helps me feel better." We walked up on stage and Mo picked up an acoustic guitar.
"Lady's and Gentlemen," Sally said into the mic, "As a special treat, we have Olivia White and Mo Banjeree from Lemonade Mouth performing a song for you!" she handed me the microphone and walked off stage,
"Hello, I'm Olivia. This is a song I wrote two years ago. Its called Sparks Fly."
I know it's not the best way to get over somebody by singig a song that written for them but it was the only one I could think of.
The way you move is like a full on rainstorm And you stood there in front of me just Drop everything now 'Cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile 'Cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile Take me down, baby bring on the movie star Drop everything now 'Cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile 'Cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile Gonna strike this match tonight Drop everything now 'Cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile 'Cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile
And I'm a house of cards
You say my name for the first time, baby, and I
Fall in love in an empty bar
Close enough to touch
Close enough to hope you couldn't see
What I was thinking of
Meet me in the pouring rain
Kiss me on the sidewalk
Take away the pain
Get me with those green eyes, baby
As the lights go down
Something that'll haunt me when you're not around
So reach out open handed
And lead me out to that floor
Well, I don't need more paper lanterns
'Cause my heart is beating fast
And you are beautiful I could wait patiently
But I really wish you would
Meet me in the pouring rain
Kiss me on the sidewalk
Take away the pain
Get me with those green eyes, baby
As the lights go down
Something that'll haunt me when you're not around
I run my fingers through your hair
And watch the lights go out
Just keep your beautiful eyes on me
Lead me up the staircase
Won't you whisper soft and slow
I'd love to hate it
But you make it like a fireworks show
Meet me in the pouring rain
Kiss me on the sidewalk
Take away the pain
Get me with those green eyes, baby
As the lights go down
Something that'll haunt me when you're not around
Sparks fly, baby smile, sparks fly
It was kind of crazy. A minute in the song, the crown doubled. It was storming outside, so the thunder made it cooler. A few people grabbed the drums and the electric guitar and keyboard and played along. The wedding at the 'I dos' now
I smiled at everyone in the audience. I glanced over at the door when I heard the bell above it ring.
The man who walked in was stressed and confused. He was running his fingers through his hair and was looking around. He probably wanted a smoothie to relax.
I didn't know who he was but when he looked my way my breath stopped. He was wearing a tux and had strawberry blonde hair.
"Oh my god."
I turned around to see Mo with her hand clapped over her mouth and eyes wide.
His suit and hair were wet from the rain.
He stared at me for a second before running back in the rain.
"I'm going to find him." I said running off the stage.
"Good luck!" Mo called after me.
I ran out of the smoothie place and looked around. I finally found him on the park bench in the middle of the rain. The sky was so dark from the storm you'd think it was night, but it was really 3pm. Weddings last about an hour so why was he out here and not in the church, you know, getting married?
