Girl I see it in your eyes you're disappointed
'Cause I'm the foolish one that you anointed with your heart
I tore it apart
And girl what a mess I made upon your innocence
And no woman in the world deserves this
But here I am asking you for one more chance
3rd POV
Marriage on thing Derek Souza didn't want to happen to his best friend Chloe Saunders, but here she was flashing this diamond thing on her finger around and she hadn't even told him. Maybe she forgot it was on her wedding finger I mean Chloe always mixed them up anyways. He listened as she told him about her 'wild' night with her father,
"Derek pay attention!" She cried out in disbelief causing his eyes to jump back to the road they were driving on. Sighing he listened to her blocking the thoughts of her walking down an aisle to another man, he had no problem when that man waiting for her at the end was himself but that would never happen.
"Anyways then this guy walked in and Dad had the biggest grin and I knew that something it was something bad very bad and then." She paused and took a deep breath before shoving the hand with the big diamond on it in his face.
"And?"
"Derek don't you see this!" She waved it there and he sighed,
"It's all I could think about when you were talking." Chloe sighed,
"I don't want to marry him!" She started to cry then and Derek was confused,
"What?"
Can we fall, one more time?
Stop the tape and rewind
Oh and if you walk away I know I'll fade
'Cause there is nobody else
It's gotta be you
Only you
It's got to be you
Only you
"It's an arranged marriage by my Dad." Derek frowned holding back the feeling of tearing her father's throat out,
"Were only 21 tell him no." Chloe sighed and Derek grinned, "I'll help." Chloe smiled and told him to turn right.
"The wedding is tomorrow." She whispered and Derek pressed on the breaks looking at her, "Derek were being honked at!" Chloe screamed and he sighed turning the car right he pulled to the side.
"Tomorrow?" Chloe nodded and pointed to a shop across the way where a tall man and a girl stood. Chloe got out with Derek and started to the two only to notice the girl was crying,
"John?" Chloe asked disgust seeping into her voice and he turned sideways,
"You your the one stealing him away from me we were supposed to be a family." The girl accused Chloe and Derek growled at her,
"You think she wants to!" Chloe patted his arm and looked at the girl,
"It's my Dad's fault but well I don't want to marry anyone."
"What do you suggest we do?" John asked bringing the girl closer to him,
"How long have you been together?" Chloe asked and the girl smiled,
"Four years." Chloe sighed and shook her head, "what!"
"Derek do you think he knew?" Chloe asked and Derek shrugged offering his hand to John,
"Derek."
"John and this is my girlfriend Rae." He gestured to the girl beside him and she smiled and shook Derek's hand,
"You mentioned a family."
"Four weeks along." Rae told him and Chloe smiled through tear filled eyes.
Now girl I hear it in your voice and how it trembles
When you speak to me I don't resemble who I was
You've almost had enough
And your actions speak louder than words
And you're about to break from all you've heard
But don't be scared, I ain't going nowhere
"So you too can marry and I'll be 'missing'" Chloe offered and John looked at Rae to see if it was okay with her,
"Marry John?" She asked and Chloe nodded Rae smiled and hugged John. Chloe leaned on Derek smiling before removing the ring off her finger and handing it to John who turned to Rae. Derek wrapped an arm around her kissing her head Rae raised and eyebrow at Chloe who frowned and shook her head slightly. Rae frowned as well reaching out and patting her arm,
"Everything will work out." She told her and Chloe smiled,
"Good."
"Ice cream?" Derek offered and Rae smiled,
"I would love some." Chloe stood up first and led her down the street to their usual ice cream store the two girls whispering to each other.
"Okay Triple Chocolate?" Derek asked Chloe who nodded and sat down outside Rae sat with her giving her order of Tiger Tiger with a scoop of Lemon.
"Everything okay?" Rae asked and Chloe smiled nodding,
"Derek's brother works here and if we both go in Derek never leaves but if I'm out here he has a reason to go." Rae smiled and hugged her,
"Thank you."
"For what?"
"The wedding, John everything." Chloe smiled and shrugged,
"It was right."
"He likes you, you know." Rae told her and looked at her,
"John?" She asked confused and Rae laughed shaking her head,
"No not John no offense-
"None taken."
-I meant Derek." Rae finished and Chloe went silent,
"No were just friends."
"He loves you it's painfully obvious."
"You think so?" Chloe sat up and looked in the window seeing John and Derek chatting up Derek she tapped on the glass and Derek turned around his gorgeous emerald green eyes lighting up and sending her a sheepish smile. He came out and handed her the ice cream she took it gratefully and dug in savoring every spoonful with a soft quiet moan. Derek rolled his eyes scarfing his down in unmeasurable speed he was done in seconds and Chloe sighed offering him some of hers he gladly took a Derek sized spoonful and ate it Chloe was giggling moments later pulling a napkin from the container and wiped of a smear of Chocolate from his cheek.
I'll be here, by your side
No more fears, no more crying
But if you walk away
I know I'll fade
Cause there is nobody else
It's gotta be you
Only you
It's got to be you
Only you
"Thanks." He whispered breathless and Chloe smiled turning back to Rae and John who were both discussing baby names while eating their ice cream,
"Adorable right?" Chloe asked and Derek smiled nodding trying not to think of them like that one day,
"You did an amazing thing Chloe."
"I don't want to marry him."
"I thought you never wanted to marry." He said and she smiled up at him,
"I thought that but looking at them how happy they are if I ever find -tell- that person then I would marry them." Derek nodded and Chloe wrapped her arms around his waist, "thanks for the ice cream Dee." Derek hugged her back,
"Not problem little Clover." He told her and she blushed at the nickname. Rae smiled at the two and nudged John,
"He loves her right?" She asked and John nodded,
"Definitely."
Oh girl, can we try one more, one more time?
One more, one more, can we try?
One more, one more time
I'll make it better
One more, one more, can we try?
One more, one more,
Can we try one more time to make it all better?
The next day was as hectic as it gets Chloe was with Derek they were sitting in the back row when Rae reached out and tapped Chloe asking for her help with the dress. Chloe wandered into the back picking up the dress that she'd bought for Rae yesterday. She slipped it on the bride doing her hair and make up as well,
"Chloe be my bridesmaid?" She asked and Chloe nodded smiling grabbing one of the black colored dresses off the rack. Rae smiled,
"Today your a bad girl." Derek sat in the back row in his suit and then John gestured for him to come up and he stood behind him,
"You ready?" He asked John and John shook his head Derek glanced around finding Chloe's father arguing with Johns mother they'd talked to her earlier and she promised to help them marry John to Rae. Chloe smiled holding Rae's flowers as they got ready handing them to her she turned and walked down the hall she smiled until her father snapped and yelled her name then the choir started and Rae walked in smiling at everyone and Steve went red.
Cause it's gotta be you
It's gotta be you
Only you
Only you
"Thank you." Rae told Chloe hugging her, "so much." It was after the wedding and Steve left when Chloe told him she never wanted to marry John to start with.
"Chloe come on let them have some time together." Derek told her coming up behind her and John sighed joining them moments later with a small shrug to Rae who frowned.
"Sometimes a girls got to make the first move." She whispered to Chloe and Chloe smiled I guess your-
"Derek!" A girl yelled and launched herself at him he caught her with ease as she smiled and giggled before kissing him,
"Wrong." Chloe finished before looking away Rae frowned and hugged the strawberry blonde girl Chloe sighed and started towards the dark black limo waiting for her,
"Chloe wait!" John called running over to her and hugging her, "tell the old man hi for me." He told her and Chloe sighed looking up at where Derek and the girl were smiling and laughing his arms around her.
"Tell Rae that I wish she was right there's no point in hiding it." John smiled hugged her quick,
"He's losing a good chance Chloe...will I get to see you again?" John asked and Chloe sighed looking at the limo behind her just as the door opened and Steve stepped out a taller man was behind him and Chloe's eyes widened,
"Chloe." His voice boomed and Chloe shuddered. Derek looked up then and down at where Chloe stood hugging John a flare of jealousy started in him and then he remembered that John was married and he had nothing to worry about.
"Derek?" Rae asked tapping him on the shoulder and Derek looked at her and Rae frowned,
"You hurt her feelings Derek." She told him, "she really loved you and you have her." Rae pointed at the other girl and Derek frowned,
"Uh-"
"Derek?" The girl frowned and crossed her arms Derek shook his head,
"She loves me?" Derek asked and Rae nodded. Derek glanced down at Chloe and he growled low when he saw who was there grabbing his coat off the bar he started down towards Steve,
"Steve I have a question for you."
"Ask away sonny." Steve told him and Derek smiled,
"Chloe's hand in marriage." Chloe gasped and Rae clapped in joy Steve smiled and nodded,
"Agreed."
"Chloe?" Derek asked turning around to face her and she smiled pulling him down by his tie and kissing him.
It's gotta be you
Only you
It's gotta be you
Only you
