Okay, just so no one gets confused. this starts of right where Jade's POV left off in the last chapter.

~Chapter Thirty-Six~

~Jade's POV~

I couldn't believe him. After everything I did to make sure our wedding was perfect for us, he goes and throws a damn fit like a five year old.

And then when I stormed off, he just stood there and let me go. I'm not sure what pissed me off the most the fact that he freaked out like he did, or that he just stood there while I walked away.

Even though I was super pissed at him, I knew that he'd never call anyone to come get him. So I called the house hoping that his Dad would answer.

"Hello." Kevin answered the phone.

"Hey Kev, it's Jade, is your Dad home?"

"No, he and Frank just left."

"Damnit."

"What's up? I thought you and Kendall were spending the day together."

"We were until he started being stupid."

"What did he do?"

"Well I told him when and where we were gonna get married and he flipped out on me, so I left him."

"What do you mean by you left him? Do you mean you just left him there, or the other thing?"

"Both." I shook my head. "I don't want to talk about it, okay? I left him at the Botanica Garden's."

"Okay."

"Bye Kevin." I hung up on him and tossed my phone into the front seat.

I drove around awhile before I headed back to Kendall's parent's house. I was hoping that everyone would be gone when I got there. I didn't want to answer any questions that I didn't have the answers too.

I pulled into the Burger King. I went through the drive thru and ordered some lunch. Then I sat in the parking lot slowly eating. I was avoiding the house for as long as I could.

And just when I thought we were really starting to become a family, things got messed up.

Was this somehow my fault? Was I not meant to have a real family? Or every really be happy?

I know I've made a lot of mistakes in my past, but haven't I paid enough for them already? Why can't I just have my happiness?

My phone ringing brought me out of my thoughts. I picked it up and looked at who was calling. I did not recognize the number. Something told me not to answer it, but I did anyways.

"Hello."

"You actually answered my call the first time." The voice on the other end said.

"How did you get this number?"

"I know people." She laughed. "You sound good. How are you doing?"

"Like you really care." I growled. "What do you want?"

"A little birdy told me you were getting remarried."

"Who told you that?" I closed my eyes and leaned my head against the head rest. This was not happening, it couldn't be.

"So it's true, you really are getting remarried." She laughed. "What does Todd have to say to that?"

"Who the fuck cares? He's six feet under."

"What?" She sounded shocked.

"What your little birdy didn't tell you that?"

"What happened?"

"He was driving drunk crashed into a tree." She was really starting to piss me off. "Why did you call me?"

"I was just seeing where my invite to the wedding is, that's all."

"You didn't get one, because you're not invited to the wedding. I don't want you anywhere near me, Cassie or Gracie." I growled. "Or our new family."

"You can't keep me away forever." She laughed again. "I will be seeing you soon Jade."

The line went dead. My hands were shaking so badly I almost dropped my phone. But I got them to stop long enough to call Frank.

"Hello."

"You told me to call if she ever got in touch with me."

"Jade are you okay?"

"I have no idea." My voice even sounded shaky to me. "She knows about the wedding. How she found out, I have no idea. Daddy, I don't want her anywhere near any of them. What am I gonna do?"

"Don't worry about it Baby, I will take care of everything okay?"

"Okay."

"Where are you right now?"

"In the parking lot of the Burger King, alone."

"Where's Kendall?"

"We kinda got into a fight."

"Don't worry everything will be okay, that boys is crazy about you. He loves you so much."

"Thank you Daddy."

"Take a few deep breaths and calm down and then go back to Kendall's okay?"

"Okay, I can do that."

"I love you."

"Love you to Daddy. Have fun with Kent." I ran my fingers through my hair. "Sorry I called."

"I told you to call, no matter the time or what I was doing if she got in touch with you. Kent will understand."

"Okay Daddy."

"You need to tell Cassie."

"I don't know if I can."

"She has a right to know."

"I don't want that evil woman hurting Cassie anymore then she already has." I growled. "I promised myself when I got custody of Cassie I would do whatever it takes to keep her away from Cassie and Gracie."

"The choice is yours, but it would be better if Cassie found out from you."

"I'll think about it."

"All I ask. I'll see you back at the house later."

"Have fun Daddy. Tell Kent I say hi."

"I will, be careful driving home."

"I will."

"Love you."

"Ditto." I smiled and hung up the phone.

He was right I needed to tell Cassie, but I did not have to like it at all. I sighed and started the car. I carefully pulled out into traffic and made my way back to the house.

When I pulled up to the house Cassie was waiting on the front porch for me. And she did not look happy. Not that I could really blame her.

"It's about damn time you showed up." Cassie growled.

"I didn't know I was on a time table." I rolled my eyes and walked up on the porch.

"What the Hell did you do?" She growled.

I just walked by here and went into the kitchen. I opened the fridge and pulled out a bottle of water.

"Are you just going to ignore me?"

"What do you want me to say?"

"Why the Hell did you just leave him there?"

"Because he was being a jackass." I shrugged.

"What do you think was going to happen when you told him you planed the whole wedding without any of his input?" Cassie crossed her over her chest. "You were being stupid if you didn't think he wouldn't be a little upset."

"You know nothing of my relationship with Kendall."

"Maybe not but I know he loves you. You're acting like….well, like me when you don't let me do something I want to do."

"You think I'm acting like a teenager?!"

"Yes! God! He might have gone about telling you he wanted to be involved the wrong way but Jade, seriously? You've got a man that would move heaven and earth for you. Don't be stupid!"

I just rolled my eyes at her. Who did she think she was talking to after all? I'm the adult! "I'm not being stupid and might I remind you that I still legally have 9 months where I can make your life a living hell. The wedding's off!"

Cassie's hand came hard across my cheek and once I recovered, I glared at her. "Does he know this yet? And why? Because of some jackass that drank himself into the ground?! Not all men are shits like Todd, Jade!"

"You forget I'm the adult here!"

"Then start acting like one Jade! I may only be seventeen but I've had a lifetime of learning watching you and your relationships. Kendall is for real and if you fuck it up with him, I'll fuck you up. Don't think I won't either!" She said and walked away from me.

I wasn't about to follow her because I knew she was right. I was acting like a teenager. I just wanted to do something special for him but I guess I didn't realize that it would mean so much to him to be a part of all the planning.

And then I go and do something so stupid like let my damn pride get in the way. I shouldn't have thrown my ring at him and I shouldn't have stormed off like I did.

I shook my head and headed up stairs to lie down. Maybe this is all a bad dream that I'm gonna wake from soon. If not I really hope I didn't screw my one true chance at happiness up.

I couldn't help myself; I laid down on Kendall's side of the bed. It still smelled like him. He had taken another shower before we went to bed last night. I hid my face in his pillow.

How could I be so stupid? He was the best thing that ever happened to me. He loved not only be but he really has become a great father to Gracie, and I knew I wasn't going to find anyone else who would be the man that he is.

So why the hell did I throw it all away from my pride?

I was just lying there staring into space when I heard the door open. I knew it was Kendall. He was the only one brave enough to face me when I was in a mood.

"Are you gonna come in or just watch me from afar." I sat up and looked at him.

He slowly walked over and stood next to the bed.

"I got you flowers." He held the flowers out to me. I carefully took them from him and smelled them.

"You didn't have to." How he knew what my favorite flowers, I don't know, but it really showed me he cared.

"I know, I wanted to." He sat on the end of his bed. "I'm so sorry for over reacting today."

I couldn't look at him, I just kept my eyes focused on the flowers. If I looked at him, I knew I'd start to cry and that wouldn't be good.

"I really am sorry Jade." He sighed. "I never mean to make you feel like I didn't appreciate what you did for us. I over reacted."

"Is that all?" I still couldn't bring myself to look at him.

"I will do whatever you want me to." I felt him stand up from the bed. "Marry me Jade."

I looked up at him, I couldn't hide the tears in my eyes from him anymore.

"Say you'll still marry me, even if I am a stupid male." He took my hand in his and slid my ring back on my finger, right where it belonged. "Please tell me you'll still marry me. Jade, I love you so much and I'm so sorry I was a complete jackass. You are my world and I don't want to go on without you." He reached up and wiped away my tears. "Please Jade. Marry me."

"Kendall," I sighed and set the flowers aside. "Kendall I am so sorry for storming off on you. I handled this whole thing wrong. I'm not use to having a guy that would actually want to help with something like this. Todd never cared, and his Mom planned our whole wedding. I should have told you from the start, but I really just didn't want to scare you away."

"I've seen you at your worst and at your best and I'm still here. I'm not going anywhere anytime soon." He pulled onto his lap. "I love you too much to let something like this break us up. We've come so far already."

"I love you too." I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled his head down to mine so I could kiss him.

He pulled away and leaned his forehead on mine.

"You know you never answered my question."

"What question is that?"

"Jade." He growled.

"Damn I love when your voice gets all deep like that. It's a huge turn on."

"Answer me woman."

"You're it for me Kendall Schmidt." I smiled at him. "I would marry you over and over again. All you have to do is ask. I love you so much."

"Thank God, that was one conversation, I did not want to have with my mother." He laughed.

"Tell me about it." I kissed him softly. "Speaking of Mothers."

He stopped laughing and looked at me worried.

"What happened?"

"I'm not sure, but somehow she got ahold of my number. I had changed it when Cassie got her record deal." I shook my head. "Anyways, she called me today. She knows about the wedding. Before she hung up, she said she'd be seeing me soon. Kendall, I'm scared."

"Did you call Frank?"

"He's the first person I called. He said he'd take care of it, but I'm still worried. She's crazy." Kendall tightened his hold on me. "I have this bad feeling."

"I won't let her ruin our wedding day, you can count on that."

"It's not that. I'm worried about Cassie and Gracie. I don't want her anywhere near either of them. She's screwed all our lives up enough as it is."

"She won't touch a hair on either of their heads." He kissed the side of my head. "Did you tell Cassie?"

"No, I couldn't." I sighed and looked him in the eye. "Plus she was too busy yelling at me for being so stupid. She even smacked some sense into me."

"I'm glad she talked some sense into you."

"When I say smacked, I really mean smacked. She slapped me across the face."

"And she's still breathing?"

"I deserved it. She was right I was being stupid." I shrugged.

"Who are you and what have you done with my Jade?"

"Stop that." I laughed and rolled my eyes. "I can admit when I'm wrong, most the time. I'm not gonna told it against her. I needed that smack across the face. I needed the reality check."

He just laughed and kissed me. I tightened my arms around his neck and started falling backwards, pulling him with me.

We moved until he was lying on top of me.

"I have to admit, I really thought I had lost you for good and that scared the shit out of me."

"I felt the same way." He rolled off of me and pulled me to his head.

I laid my head on his chest.

"Can we never fight like that again?"

"We'll never have a fight like that again."

"I second that." I kissed his cheek. "We'll fight, but nothing like this."

"Agreed." He wrapped his arms around me. "Plus the making up after a fight is the best part."

"So agree." I looked up at him and grinned. "Now all we have to do is seal it with a kiss."

"I can do that."

He dropped his head down to mine and covered my lips with his. I rolled us back over to where he was back on top of me.

Maybe this time he'll take the damn hint.

Please lemme know what you think!
