OoOoOoOo Chapter 6 OoOoOoOo
Friday
Wanda opened her eyes as she felt the sun shine onto her eyes. She sat up and her bed and stretched trying to get the stiffness out of her body. Yesterday had been such a great day, John's picnic was sweet, talking to Marie and Betts was really familiar and brought back a couple of flashbacks of them together. She had also gotten reacquainted with Kitty, Lance, Sam, and Rahne, not to mention the cute kids of Betts and Warren and Sam and Rahne. The Carnival was also a beautiful experience, the stars were shinning beautifully and John had held her close giving her warmth throughout the night.
Wanda sighed happily and looked around her room, which now had about 5 new red stuffed animals since John had won her some. Her smile faded all of a sudden as she felt that there was something she was forgetting…something important. She couldn't put her finger on it but there was something her mind was telling her was coming. She closed her eyes and laid back on her pillow trying hard to remember what it was.
'What is it? What are you trying to tell?' she though to herself. All of a sudden a picture of a beautiful white dress came to her mind, there was no one wearing the dress it was just there in thin air. Then all of a sudden Wanda started appearing in the dress but it was really weird because half of her body was there, the other side was missing leaving that part of the dress vacant.
Wanda's eyes snapped open at the image and she sat up again.
'What the hell was that about?' she asked herself again and the remembered the marriage flyer she saw when she was at her office with John.
"He's not telling me something…they all are hiding something from me…" Wanda whispered slowly to know one in particular since she was alone in her room.
'But what is it?' she asked herself looking around her room…looking for some kind of clue.
OoOoOoOo Kitchen OoOoOoOo
Lexa Howlett paced around the kitchen nervously as she looked deep in thought. Pietro walked in to see his beloved and perked an eyebrow at her.
"Some thing wrong babe?"
Lexa stopped pacing and turned to look at him, "What do you mean is something wrong…OF COURSE SOMETHING'S WRONG!" she yelled making him wince.
"Mind explaining what then?"
"Pietro…it's FRIDAY."
"Yeah…I already knew that…"
"Hello are you forgetting who arrives today?"
"Whose arriv…EVAN!"
"Exactly."
"What? I'm sorry didn't hear you…stupid dog is biting my ankles," Pietro answered as 'Evan' -bit his pants and ankles. Lexa looked at the puppy and called to it making him run joyfully to her arms. She picked him up and as he licked her chin she glared at Pietro.
"Evan my cousin is arriving today dumbass…the wedding IS tomorrow."
Pietro stood still for a whole minute without saying anything and then, "Oh SHIT!"
"My point exactly."
"What's yah point about what?" Marie asked walking in a sexy Cajun behind here.
"Evan's coming home today, Wanda still doesn't remember shit and I'm so stressed out about this don't be surprised if my hair is all gone by tonight," Lexa answered really fast.
"Oh oh…dat is bad…what are we gonna tell de homme?"
"Oh yah know something liahke 'Hey Evan how yah been? Good? Well that's nice tah here especially since the woman yah suppose to be marring thinks that yahr a puppy…here let meh help yah with yah bags…'" Marie answered sarcastically and glared at Remy.
"Oui I guess we can do someting like that," Remy answered not bothering to care about his wife's crazy mood swing since she was fine five minutes ago in the bedroom.
"Shit this is bad huh?" Pietro answered going into a thinking pose.
"No shit Sherlock," Lexa answered holding her head thanks to the big headache that was coming to her.
"Okay…I got an idea," Pietro told them.
"What?" the other three asked.
"We hit Evan with a club and then mail him to…Ethiopia."
"Wow I never knew my future husband was an Einstein," Lexa answered dryly.
"What? I thought it would be a good plan," Pietro whined as the other rolled their eye at him.
"Dats nice mon ami mais what we need is some kinda miracle…"
"Or at least somethin that'll buy us time…" Marie mused and looked around.
"We can have some one get Evan to the airport and bring him straight here where we can calmly explain what's going on," Lexa suggested.
"No he'll know something's wrong if Wanda isn't the one to see him here so it'd be better if we have someone tail him."
"But what about Wanda?"
"John's taking her to work today since he couldn't get the day off."
"So that means…she's gonna spend her whole day in a BUS?" Marie asked.
"Yup," Pietro answered.
Lexa looked up at the ceiling and clued out of the main topic and asked, "I wonder how she's going to entertain herself."
"Uh petite…I really tink we have bigger tings to worry 'bout," Remy told as she kept a dazed look on her head.
"Huh…oh right. So what are we going to do?"
"Does it look like any of us know?" Marie's asked annoyed. At the same time she said this Amanda came in with Kurt behind her rubbing his eyes.
"Know what?" she asked getting some milk for her coffee.
"Know what we're going to do about the whole Wanda thing and Evan's arriving today."
"Oh…yeah that's gonna be hard…what about all the Wedding stuff that we haven't finished yet…and the rehearsal today?" Amanda asked curiously.
"OH SHIT!" echoed through the kitchen.
"Et 'ere we though it couldn't get worse," Remy replied smiling think all this was a bit funny.
Marie looked at him and felt like smacking the smile off his face. "Ok people…what we need tah do is THINK…"
"To early sis…my brain can't function," Kurt told her as she turned to glare at him.
"Then ah suggest yah get tah thinking cause if yah don't…" she stared threatening but didn't finish since she got interrupted.
"I'd listen to her…moody pregnant women are dangerous when Y' piss em off," Remy told him holding his little woman back.
"Okay people we need to stop messing around and think…think…think…think…think…" Lexa went into a little chant as she closed her eyes. Everyone looked at her for a while but then tried thinking as well.
"Think about what?" they all opened their eyes to find Wanda looking at them with a 'you guys are weird' look.
"Um…we'..re thinking of…" Lexa began and looked around the room trying to get an idea.
"Wat ta call de bebe," Remy told her and started rubbing Marie's belling.
"Oh…" Wanda replied with a perked eyebrow as she got something to eat. As she did this she looked at everyone who had a smile plastered on their faces. If she had been in normal condition she'd notice that all of them were cheesy fake smiles.
"Morning guys," Betts walked happily and then stopped as she looked at everyone's face. "Hey what's with all the chees…" before she could finish Warren who had walked in behind her covered her mouth seeing everyone through a glare at her.
Wanda turned to look at her curiously wondering what she was going to say.
Warren noticed and also gave a cheesy smile, "Uh…she was…about to insult the way your kitchen smells," he lied and then let her go.
Wanda looked at Betts who looked confused but said, "Uh yeah…sorry to tell you luv but this kitchen smells very…cheesy…"
"O…K I don't smell anything. But blame one of them I haven't eaten any cheese," Wanda answered and looked at her as a fake smile came onto the purple haired woman's face. Before Wanda could say anything else the doorbell rang. "Oh that must be John…" she said and started walking out the kitchen. Before she walked out she stopped and looked at them, as she looked at all of them individually they all got nervous. "Guys…how much does a whole day pass on the bus cost?"
Lexa felt like hitting her head onto the wall that was the question that almost gave her a heart attack?
"Uh…I think it's $1.50," Pietro answered.
"Ok thanks…guess I'll see you all later."
"Bye," they all answered in unison and as soon as the kitchen door closed their smile disappeared.
"That was…hard," Lexa replied as she leaned on a counter for support.
"Actually I'm lost…what was that all about?" Elisabeth asked.
Marie groaned and hit her head on Remy's shoulder.
"Lets not go through this again...please," Lexa groaned as she slid onto the floor and sat here.
"Fine I'll start the story but we need to come up with a plan after this," Pietro told them and started telling Betts and Warren what was up.
OoOoOoOo Mean while OoOoOoOo
"You know you don't 'avta come wit me if you don't wanta," John told Wanda as she drove his car to work.
"I know I don't but I want to. Anyway it's only fair since you went to work with me," she answered looking at the passing buildings.
"You sure? It going to be the same thing over and over again for hours. A good description it would be 'going around in circles'."
"I'll be fine…anyway I brought something to entertain me just in case," she told him lifting up her bag.
"Like what?" he asked curiously.
"My cell phone just in case I get bored so I can call someone…"
"Well that's nice…you're going to be with me but you're going to call someone else," John answered in a mock hurt voice.
Wanda ignored him and continued, " 'Queen of the Damned' a book full of Poetry with different authors…nail polish…"
"That could be interesting…you can read to me…"
"Ha…yeah right."
"Why not?" he asked.
"Cause…I don't want to read for you in front of strangers…that's weird."
"Well then read to me when it's only you and me…"
"Does that even happen?"
"Yeah…not a lot of people enjoy riding the bus you know…"
"Why? They sacred you might crash or run them over?" she joked.
John's head snapped to look at her. Did she know that he was the cause of her accident? Pietro said he hadn't told her…so did she remember.
Wanda looked up to look at John who was staring at her intensely. "What is it?" she asked.
John looked at her like that a bit more but then snapped himself out of it. 'She doesn't know' he told himself but answered, "Um…I brought you something…just in case you would get bored…"
"Really? What?"
John stopped at the red light and started getting the object. He found it when the light turned green so he gave it to her with out looking at her since he was driving. Wanda took the worn out pages and ran a finger down the first page carefully not wanting to damage it.
She looked at John who looked very interested in driving at the moment.
"You want me to read your book?"
"Yeah…um…I thought it'd be nice to have someone finally read it," he answered softly.
"I…I'm honored you choose me," she replied look at the side of his face.
John slowly smiled and turned to look at her, "I'm glad I'm letting you be the first."
Wanda smiled at him too but looked away feeling the warmth in her cheeks. She looked at the rod in front of her, "Uh John…are you watching where you're going?" she asked him as they passed a red light.
"Shit…you think anyone saw me?" he asked looking back.
"Probably only all those people yelling at you," she answered watching as they drove away from a car that was in the middle of the street yelling after them. After that they both got quiet and just enjoyed each other's company, minutes later they stopped in front a big building with buses parked everywhere around it.
"Stay here for now," he told her and walked in side the building, about five minutes later he came back outside with keys in his hands and he was wearing black glossy pants, a blue shirt with Bayville Bus Transportation on it. Wanda smirked at him as he got closer.
"Don't say anything," he told her as he motioned her to follow him. Wanda couldn't help it and burst into small giggles as she followed him. John ignored the giggled and stopped in front of a bus. He opened it and got on then let her get on, as he adjusted everything he had to do to get ready he stayed quiet. Wanda sat her things on the first seat across from him so she'd be able to see him but then walked towards him.
"Aw I was just kidding…I think you look VERY hot," she told him as she wrapped an arm around his shoulder.
"Sure you do," John responded playing with the bus doors.
"I do," Wanda replied and somehow ended up on his lap. John looked at her as she sat on him looking at him cutely and seductively. He moved his hand to rest on the side of her knee and slowly moved it up making her body tingle with excitement but to her dismay he stopped at mid thigh.
"I need you to get off luv," he told her quietly.
"Why? You know you don't want me to," she answered huskily surprising herself. 'Where the ell did all this sexy attitude come from?' she asked her self as she smiled at him.
John looked down at her wondering the same thing, "You need to get off cause if someone sees us I might get fired," he told her quietly.
"Oh…right," she answered but before she got up she pressed her lips to his. John responded to the kiss and licked her lips making them open. Wanda aloud his tongue to explore the inside of hers and she tried stopping a moan to come out as she felt him nibble on her lower lip. John stopped after about a minute remembering why he shouldn't be doing this. He pulled away from her gave her a small smile, Wanda looked a bit surprised but then got off him and sat on her seat.
"Alright then," John said looking around. "Lets get going…" and without waiting for her response he pushed down hard on the gas pedal. Wanda gasped in surprise and then thought, 'should I be wearing a seat belt?'
OoOoOoOo A couple of feet away OoOoOoOo
"Whoa what a kiss…yo Fire Couple you just missed quiet a show if I do say so myself," Jubilee talked into her cell phone.
"Fire couple? Why the hell are you calling us that?" Amara replied.
"It's the codename I made up for you…fire because you're both temperamental and couple because it's obvious you're gonna become one," Jubilee answered as Ray started the car and followed the bus John and Wanda were on.
"So what the hell are you? The electric couple?" Amara replied sarcastically.
"Actually I was thinking the sparky couple," Jubilee answered mockingly.
"Whatever…" Amara answered and pulled her sunglasses down as Roberto held her hand. Both were wearing sunglasses and walking through a big crowd of people. Lexa and Marie had called the four friends earlier and explained what was going on…being the good friends that they were they decided to help out in any way they could.
Lexa and Marie had both been happy with that and told them what to do. Jubilee and Ray were going to be following John's bus around most of the day hoping they wouldn't get caught, and Amara and Roberto were acting as a couple and hanging out at the airport waiting for Evan to arrive. When they'd see him get off the plane they would inform the others and then follow him without letting him know.
"So what time did Lexa say Evan would be arriving?" Roberto asked Amara.
"Um…2...2:15 around there."
"So what do you want to do until then?"
"Um…hold on…Jubes?"
"What's up?"
"We're going to have to hang up…"
"Well that's rude…"
"What is?"
"Roberto's hogging you by telling you to hang up with me," Jubilee whined.
"Actually I'm the one that say's we need to hang up…but call me if anything I should know about happens."
"Fine…later…"
"Bye," With that Amara hung up and looked at Roberto. "I don't know what is there to do?" she asked looking around.
"We can go to the gift shops and stuff…"
"Then lets go," she answered squeezing his hand and dragging him towards a store with lost of cute souvenirs for tourist.
OoOoOoOo Meanwhile OoOoOoOo
"What happened?"
"She ditched me for Roberto…can you believe that back stabber?"
"Well…you were the one that suggested she go with Roberto," Ray reminded her.
"I know that…but she didn't have to hang up on me…"
"Aww did big bad Amara hurt jubbies feeling?" Ray teased.
"Shut-up," she answered blushing at the fact that Ray was watching her act like a child. She didn't know why it was bugging her though; Ray had known her since she was a child. He was the boy that cut her hair when he sat behind her and teased her during high school. He was the first guy she kissed thanks to truth or dare, he was the one that was always there when she was heartbroken, Ray…was always there when she needed someone the most.
"What's wrong with you? You got quiet all of a sudden," Ray told her looking at her look at the bus in front of her with a thoughtful expression.
"Nothing…just…thinking things…"
"Who is it?" he asked staring at her intently.
"What do you mean?"
"Girls only get looks like that when they're thinking about some special guy…"
Jubilee turned to look at him and noticed he was no longer looking at her but intently looking in front of him, his jaw seemed very tight.
"What would you say…if I said…it was you?" she asked making him step on the brakes hard. Jubilee thanked God she had her seat belt on.
"Ray what the fuck?" she asked looking over at him to notice that he was staring at her with a thoughtful look.
"What?" he asked.
"I said…we're losing them," she told him seeing the bus almost disappear. Ray started driving again and they both stayed silent almost killing Jubilee since she hated uncomfortable silence.
"Jubes?"
"Yeah?"
"You're special to me…you know that right?"
"Yeah…after all how can you not find the person who helped dye your hair, pierce your ear, go to the hospital every time you needed to get shots special?" she answered good humouredly.
"Yeah…but…you know what I mean right?"
"Uh…sure…I think…"
"Jubilation Lee you can be pretty thick headed sometimes you know."
"Ouch that was mean. Well if I don't know enlighten me will ya?"
"I…think of you too…" Jubilee didn't say anything but smiled, "I think I sorta knew that," she whispered.
Ray glared at her, "Then why did you make me say it?"
"Cause sometimes…it just need to be said," she answered looked at him. He stared back but then looked back to the bus, without warning he felt her hot lips on his cheek. She then sat back down in her seat and stayed quiet.
OoOoOoOo Meanwhile in Wanda's apartment OoOoOoOo
"What do you think of this combination?" Kitty asked Lance letting him see the different flowers she smashed together trying to make Wanda's bouquet.
"I think…you need to try again," he told her slowly and waited for her to erupt like a huge volcano. He opened his eyes to see her reworking on it though. "What? You're not going to kill me for saying they weren't good?" he asked.
"I like don't have time to kill you. The wedding is tomorrow and as the wedding planner I have to have everything ready," she told him not bothering to look up at him.
"Well what do you want me to do?" he asked feeling pretty useless.
"Um…I'm not sure what I want you to do…go check on the others I guess…" she told him still concentrating on the flowers.
"Fine," he whispered and made his way to where all the others were working on something.
"Do you think we should put these pink streamers at the wedding reception?" Kurt asked Amanda as they looked for things to design the ballroom where the wedding reception would take place.
"Are you crazy? If we do that we might as well be prepared to be killed. Not only would Wanda go off and hunt us down but so would Lexa and your lovely sister," Amanda answered and dropped the pastel pink back into the box only to bring out a dark red.
"Is red really appropriate?" Kurt asked as she inspected it.
"Yeah…it's the color of LOVE…"
"I thought it was the color of anger?"
"Why don't you just see it as both, cause I can guarantee she's going to be angry when she remembers," Betts spoke up from a couple of feet away from them. She and Warren were looking for the table clothes and the plastic silverware they would use.
"Yeah she is going to be pretty angry huh?" Warren asked looking at the see through wine cups.
"See Kurt…this color will be perfect…she'll be angry at us but she'll be loving Evan," Amanda told him.
"Are you sure?" Betts asked making Warren, Amanda and Kurt look at her.
"What are you trying to say?" Warren asked her.
"Nothing luv…just that maybe…there won't be as much love as there was before," Elisabeth whispered and kept looking at the tablecloth in front of her.
In the kitchen Sam and Rahne were looking at the wedding cake trying to think of designs to put on the white 5 layered cake.
"What kind of cake is it?" Sam asked looking at it hungrily.
"The kind that won't be eaten until tomorrow," Rahne answered as she took the cake ornaments out of a small brown box.
"Your no fun," Sam whined.
"Sam honey…what would you have done if someone took a bit out of our wedding cake?" Rahne asked.
"Hm…kidnap them, tie em up, lock em in a basement and kill them after torturing them for making something go wrong on mah big special day," he answered.
"Ok that's what you would do…if it were Wanda she'd so that and a lot more making the pain triple times worse…now you don't want to be the one she kills right?" she asked him sweetly.
"Ouch…no thank you kindly…"
"That's what I thought…"
"So…what are you doing?" he asked acting as if he wasn't even watching her.
Rahne rolled her eyes, "What does it look like I'm doing? I'm putting the groom and bride on the cake," she told him sticking the figures into the center of the top layer. After about 20 minutes they were all done with it and Sam looked at it weirdly.
"What?" Rahne asked him.
"There's something wrong with it," he told her.
"My DESIGN?" she asked worriedly.
"No…it's not that," he whispered making her look at the cake as well. After a while of looking like weirdoes for staring intently at the cake she spoke.
"I know what it is…" she told him softly.
"What?" he asked and the watched her slowly reached for the cake…and took the brown colored groom with blonde hair out.
"Oh…" he answered quietly and both looked at the cake, which only held the bride on the top. Then they looked at each other and then they turned their attention the groom figure in Rahne's palm.
OoOoOoOo Bus OoOoOoOo
"I don't get why you want me to read this poem. I didn't understand when you were talking about it."
"Which would be a good thing if you read some of it," John responded.
"Do I have to? I want to look at some of the sights," she told him trying to get out of reading out loud for him.
"Nope…we still have a couple hours to go…come on you only have to read the first couple of stanza's," he told her.
She sighed in defeat and got out her poetry book, after finding the poem he wanted her to read out loud she cleared her throat and started.
"A free bird leaps on the back of the wind and floats downstream till the current ends and dips his wings in the orange sun rays and dares to claim the sky," she read out loud without a lot of enthusiasm.
"But a bird that stalks down his narrow cage can seldom see through his bars of rage his wings are clipped and his feet are tied so he opens his throat to sing," John interrupted in a thoughtful voice as he stared at the cars in front of him.
Wanda stared at him surprised that he knew this poem by memory and continued with the third stanza.
"The caged bird sings with fearful trill of the things unknown but longed for still and is tune is heard on the distant hill for the caged bird" she didn't finish the last part of it but looked over to him. "Why do you like this poem that you even have it memorized," she asked him.
"The free bird thinks of another breeze an the trade winds soft through the sighing trees and the fat worms waiting on a dawn-bright lawn and he names the sky his own.
But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream his wings are clipped and his feet are tied so he opens his throat to sing," John replied, before he could get the last stanza out he was interrupted.
"Ok stop…I'll read it later and what ever but tell me why it captivates you so?" she interrupted looking at him threw the mirror that was above his head.
John looked up at her briefly through the mirror and answered, "I like it because it has a lot of hidden meanings," he told her softly. "It also shows how some people feel at times…" he added.
"They feel like birds?" she remarked while she turned to look out the window.
"No…read it and you should get it," he told her.
"I'll do it later," she answered and the asked, "Hey…what are we doing later today?"
John stayed quiet as he turned a bit pale, "I…dunno," he answered quietly making her turn to face him.
"You don't know? That's weird you usually have our whole day planned…something wrong?" she asked.
"No…it's nothing…" he answered not being able to look at her. Wanda watched his somber expression and wondered why it had appeared. She turned away from him and looked through the window in front of her, her eyes widened as she saw a big white building with a cross on the top.
'A church' she thought to herself. 'Why do I feel like I should be remembering something?' she asked herself and looked at the church as it faded from her view.
OoOoOoOo Airport OoOoOoOo
"3:00," Roberto mumbled as he peeked over his newspaper at the people walking out of a gate Evan was suppose to be coming out of.
"He's here," Amara replied. She was sitting in front of Roberto but she was wearing spyglasses and with the mirrors on the inside she could see everything behind her.
Both watched as Evan passed them by, when he did Roberto cover he's whole face with the newspaper while Amara got interested in her shoes covering her face with her hair.
They let about 5 minutes passed and then got up.
"Call them," Roberto told her, Amara shook her head and took her cell phone out.
"Hello?" jubilee's voice asked.
"Keep a sharp eye out for anything."
"He's here?"
"Yeah…"
"Ok…"
"Later…"
"Bye."
'Ring Ring'
"Hello?"
"He's here…"
"Fuck…is he coming our way?"
"He barley arrived but I'd expect him to go your way."
"Alright…I'll tell the others to get ready…"
"Ready for what?"
"For all hell to break lose," Lexa answered and hung up before Amara could response. She put her phone away and turned to look at Roberto who was looking at her.
"They're getting ready…what do you think will happen?"
"It doesn't matter what we think…in a couple of hours…we'll know," he told her as they walked out the airport towards where Roberto had parked his car.
OoOoOoOo Lensher mansion 1 hour later OoOoOoOo
"De homme drives like an ol granny," Remy mumbled as sat on a couch and waited for Evan to arrive. Marie sat next to him her leg bopping up and down since she was a bit nervous by what was about to happen.
"How do you think he'll take it," Pietro asked looking out a widow.
"Gee I don't know…how would you feel if I got amnesia and someone told me I was going out with Remy?" Lexa asked.
"Pretty good actually…Marie would kill you before you'd get close to him," Pietro answered with but seconds later it disappeared as he saw a taxi stop in front of the house. "Here comes trouble," he told them never looking away.
The doorbell rang and Lexa went and hesitantly opened it.
"Hey Ev," she whispered as he went to her and hugged her. While this was happening Marie took out her cell phone and dialed a number.
"Hello?"
"It seem yah job is done…"
"Yeah…you guys think you can handle from here?"
"Ya…"
"Alright then, well go help Kitty with the wedding stuff."
"K…bye and Amara?"
"Yeah?"
"Thahnks…"
"No prob…what are friends for?" she answered and hung up after seconds of silence.
"Hey guy! I thought you were going to be coming later tonight?" Evan told them looking at the three people in the living room who looked somber. "Whoa who died?" he joked.
"…" No one said anything.
"O…k. really guys what's up? And where's my sweet hot wife to be?" Evan asked.
"Evan…we have something to tell you," Lex told him slowly.
"It's about Wanda," Marie added looking at him. Evan looked from one girl to the other and then to the guys who just stood still with no expressions.
"What?" Evan asked worriedly taking a seat.
"Well yah see…Wanda sort kinda got hit by a bus…on Monday…" Marie told him with difficulty.
"WHAT? That can't be I was talking to her," he exclaimed and then added, "And why am I barely being told about this?"
"Because…Evan…Wanda doesn't know she's getting married…" Lexa told her cousin carefully.
"What do you mean?" he asked getting a little angry.
"Homme…de petite doesn't even know Y' exist," Remy told him to make it less hard on the girls.
"WHAT?"
Pietro sighed and took a deep breath, then slowly told Evan what Lexa and Marie were afraid to tell him. When he was dome a loud crash echoed throughout the house as an expensive vase hit the nearest wall.
OoOoOoOo 2 hours later OoOoOoOo
Jubilee sang along with the Cranberries 'Zombie'.
"Another head hangs lowly
Child is slowly taken
And the violence caused such silence
Who are we mistaken"
She stopped singing as her cell phone rang.
"Hello?" she answered while Ray turned to look at her. His eyes scrunched up in confusion as he saw her frown. "What? Are you sure? Right now?…shit shit shit shit shit," she started repeating after a while on the phone.
Ray heard some mumbling from the other line and then Jubilee shut her phone off and looked a bit pale. "What is it?" he asked.
She turned to look at him and then at the bus in front of them, which had stopped since John's shift was over.
"Something wicked this way comes…" she answered in a whisper and got out the car when Ray stopped it. Ray quickly followed her as she made a run towards the bus, when they were near the bus entrance he saw what it was she was trying t prevent.
OoOoOoOo Meanwhile OoOoOoOo
Wanda was up and stretching, after hours of sitting her butt she was finally able to get up and soon they would be off doing whatever they please.
"Had fun?" John asked her.
"Yeah…even though I saw the same thing over and over again I have to admit it was quiet entertaining," she told him smiling as he got up.
"Glad I could do it," he told her softly, deep down inside John knew something was wrong.
"What is it?" she asked after watching him get quiet.
"Nothing, he answered, Wanda walked towards him and wanting to make him feel better gave a soft kiss on the lips. "Thanks…I'll always remember that," he told her quietly making her give a puzzled look.
"Come on…lets' go," she told him. John nodded and opened the bus door. Wanda smiled at him and turned to walk off the bus steps but stopped as some one got up on the first step. Wanda looked at the person and felt herself stop breathing as she looked at the dark skin and blonde hair.
/But you see it's not me,
it's not my family
In your head, in your
head they are fighting/
"…Ev…an," she whispered and then they came…her memories all flashing into her at once. She looked into Evan's eyes and she saw…what she should have seen since the first time she had woken up with amnesia. She saw them together, kissing, in romantic restaurants, she saw him on one knee proposing…and she saw herself accept. She saw her engagement ring…the wedding plans…she saw her white dress…
Her head snapped to look at John; her eyes were misty as she let her mind clear everything up for her. As she stared at the red headed man in front of her, she couldn't help stare into his blue eyes. She looked into them and couldn't help seeing what she had gone through with this man in the past couple of days…
OoOoOoOo Flashback OoOoOoOo
/With their tanks and their bombs
And their bombs and their guns/
"Oh…so you're my boyfriend?"
"Yup…"
"Uh what do we do together?"
"Uh…" John started looking at Pietro nervously mot knowing what this girl did for fun. "We…go on picnics…read…watch TV…go to the movies…you know…normal couple stuff…"
"How lovely…I'm sorry I don't remember any of it…" she looked looking sad that she couldn't remember.
"It's ok luv…" he answered looking at her sadly at making her feel that way even though she shouldn't since they had barley met.
OoOoOoOo Flashback OoOoOoOo
"Forget his gift luv…look what I got ya…" and with that he took a stuffed bear, it was very pretty and Wanda looked loving it. What caught her attention wasn't that it was cute and fuzzy or whatever, it was what the bear was dressed as. The bear was a girl and it was obvious since it was wearing a red dress, a matching cape, and a pointy hat. The little bear witch was also included a broom it was on.
"It's…beautiful…" she whispered not knowing why the stuff object was having such an effect on her. Pietro watched this with interest and shock, 'man this guy is GOOD' he thought to himself.
"Well you better get up and go get dressed so we can leave," John told Wanda taking a glance at his watch and helping her off the bed. Wanda took his hand and pulled herself off the bed, feeling a tingly feeling as his flesh made contact with hers. She slowly walked to her stuff and picked it up then walked towards the restroom; about to close the door she stopped when she heard John's voice.
"You need help getting dressed?" he asked smirking.
Wanda blushed a bit then glared, "I think I'll be able to manage," and with that closed the door.
OoOoOoOo Flashback OoOoOoOo
/In your head in your head,
in your head they are cryin'/
After she had woken up she stood perfectly still not wanting to wake John up. She watched him for the longest time since she could reach a photo album on the floor. She watched his chest go up and down while he was breathing and wondered if that was her first time sleeping this close to him since it felt so unfamiliar, not bad…defiantly not bad…but very unfamiliar. After a while of pondering that she didn't realize that he was awake and watching her think, when she had noticed she blushed and got out of their position.
OoOoOoOo Flashback OoOoOoOo
Wanda started chasing after him, but the cake on her head started running down her face blinding her. She had no idea John had fallen…until she tripped on him.
"Oomph…"John groaned as the Extra weight hit him.
"Ouch," Wanda mumbled as he elbows hit the ground. With out sitting up she whipped the chocolate off her face and looked down at two blue orbs looking at her.
John stood perfectly still as he looked up at her unlike her he had noticed in the position they were in as she straddled his hips.
"'Ey." he whispered.
"Hey…" she whispered as her eyes traveled away from his eyes to he's lips. Without knowing what she was doing she slowly moved towards them…she didn't know her lips were on his until she felt his tongue lick them making her mouth open.
OoOoOoOo End Flashbacks OoOoOoOo
/In your head In your head
Zombie Zombie Zombie eh eh/
Wanda snapped out of the memories and blinked, when she looked up at him her eyes were narrowed, without saying anything to him he turned and passed by Evan to get outside. Evan reached out for her wrist while saying her name but she snapped her hand free and walked out only to see Jubilee, Ray, Marie, Lexa, Remy and Pietro waiting.
Pietro was holding up his car keys but looking down at the ground. Wanda walked towards him and snapped the key out of his hand.
"You're such an asshole," she snarled and the walked away from them. Evan watched her go and walked after her calling her name. As she heard him Wanda made a run for it and within seconds was out of view. Everyone watched her and then turned to John who was resting his head on the window near the entrance of the bus. He looked up they way she had gone, he's eyes showing longing…showing sadness.
"Lets go…" Pietro murmured and started walking towards Remy's car, he's head still not looking up at anyone.
OoOoOoOo Lensher house hold OoOoOoOo
Wanda walked into her house and slammed the door loudly.
"Wanda what was that about?" her father asked angrily coming to see what the noise was all about.
Wanda turned to look at him her eyes narrowed dangerously, "You knew…you all KNEW…you're all going to HELL," she shouted running up to her room. Eric watched her go up his eyes open wide.
"She knows…" he told no one in particular but goy an answer.
"Obviously," Raven answered quietly looking up the empty stares.
Wanda walked into her room and dropped her bag on the desk nearby, in her hand was the book of poems, she looked at the open page to show 'Cadged Bird' by Maya Angelou, she glared at the book and then threw it at her wall angrily. The book slammed with a loud bang and hit the floor.
/What's in your head, in your head/
Wanda wiped her cheek feeling hot liquid running down it, she looked in a mirror and saw the cause…she was crying. Not bothering to wipe the more tears that were coming she walked to her bed holding her head at the headache she felt was coming. She fell on her bed and felt something piercing her stomach. She took whatever it was out from beneath her and stared at it when she saw what it was…The Scarlet teddy Bear John had given her. Instead of throwing it somewhere to show how much she hated him she brought it closer to her and used it as a pillow…letting all the bitter tears drop on to the soft object.
After a while of crying she heard footsteps and knock, she ignored them and held the stuff animal tighter.
"Wanda…shelia…open the door…please," John told her softly as other footsteps followed. "Wanda please open the door," he repeated. Wanda laid still and breathed in and out of her mouth since her nose was stuffed. Minutes after John had spoken again she heard Evan talk to him.
"What the hell are you still doing here…your job as the pretend boyfriend is over so do us a favor and get lost," Evan snapped. Pietro, John and Remy glared at Evan after he said this, Evan ignored the glares and turned to the door.
"Wanda honey…please open the door…" he told her. Wanda stayed where she was but heard the faint steps leaving…she closed her eyes and didn't move…hearing the steps disappear. After a while she heard the others leave too, she then started thinking about she was going to do…if she decided to keep the wedding going she would have rehearsal in about an hour…
'What should I do?' she asked herself.
/Zombie Zombie Zombie eh eh eh oh
Dodododoododododo/
OoOoOoOo Downstairs OoOoOoOo
"I'm sorry…for all of this," Pietro told John as both walked outside.
"Don't be mate…it was fun while it lasted," John answered.
"So…are you just going to leave it like this?" Pietro asked him looking up at his sisters' bedroom window.
"Yeah…what would you like me to do…she's getting married…"
"Yeah…but how do you know if that's really what she wants?"
"Because…she wouldn't have said yes to him if she didn't want to."
"Are you at least coming to the wedding?"
"I…don't think I'd be welcomed," John answered with a small smile.
"John…you'll go…whether people want you there or not…believe me," Pietro told him and stretched his hand out to shake hands with him. John looked at it and shook it.
"Later mate…" he replied and walked away.
Pietro watched him and walked back inside the house, he heard Evan before he saw him…
"You…this is all your FAULT!" Evan screamed at Pietro and before anyone knew what happened he shocked Pietro in the face. Pietro wasn't expecting the blow and needed up on the floor.
/when the violence causes silence
We must be mistaken/
The next thing that was heard was a big SMACK. Evan looked up angrily to see who had slapped him only to find Lexa glaring up at him, her jaw tight with anger and her eyes blazing.
"Don't make me do that again," she snarled at him. Evan growled and then walked out to the patio to get cooled down. Lexa looked down at Pietro who wasn't staring up at her, he was very interested in the floor at the moment. She kneeled down next to him and he made sure to avoid her.
/In your head,
in your head they're still fightin'/
"You were right…I fucked everything up…this was a bad idea," he whispered to her. Lexa looked at him calmly and put her hand under his chin and made him look at her.
"This isn't your fault Pie…"
"Ha…that's a lie," Marie commented watching them. Remy glared at his wife and then put a finger up to her mouth. Lexa glared at Marie too but then looked back to Pietro.
She ran a finger down where Evan had punched him; he couldn't feel it since it was feeling numb. "Come on…let's get you cleaned up," she told him quietly and helped him up. They then walked of towards the bathroom, Lexa nuzzling his neck trying to make him feel better as he leaned on her.
/In your head they are dyin'/
"Everything is so fucked up," Marie commented to her husband.
"Je Sais mais what can we do bout it chere?"
"Nothing I suppose…ha…and mah mother though we were gonna be the screwed up couple," she mused. Remy couldn't help but smile at her and then hold her by the waist.
"Don worry mon amor…I'm sure everything will be fine," he whispered in her ear.
"Ah hope so…" she responded and they stayed like that for a while.
OoOoOoOo An Hour later OoOoOoOo
/In your head/
Wanda walked down the stairs and found everyone in the living room looking as if someone had died. Everyone looked at her with surprise at seeing her down so early.
"What are you all waiting for?" she asked them making them look confused. We have a wedding rehearsal to get to," she added with a small smile. Evan heard this and went to her then kissed her.
/In your head, in your head
Zombie Zombie Zombie eh eh/
An hour later they were in church rehearing how to walk in. Everyone was there; Kitty and the others that had been working on the wedding stuff were standing in their positions. As Wanda and Evan walked down the aisle and by Lexa and Pietro, Pietro couldn't help but glare Evan down. Lexa watched them and then Pietro…she couldn't help feeling that something was wrong.
Marie and Remy where the last that passed by the couple since Marie was the maid of honor and Remy was the best man. Marie watched as her stepsister gave a small smile at Evan.
/What's in your head, in your head/
'She's smiling' Marie thought to herself, 'but it's not THAT smile' she added remembering how happy Wanda had been at the carnival the day before. Remy squeezed Marie's hand as he noticed her daze expression, she looked up at him and then at Wanda, she then shook her head letting Remy know she didn't approve. Remy shrugged telling her there was nothing they could do.
Wanda was in front of the aisle with a priest in front of her telling her how things would go on the next day. She nodded at what he was saying.
"Then I will say you may kiss the bride…and it'll be over…would you like to try that part?" the priest asked with a kind smile.
"Why not," Evan replied with a smirk and looked at Wanda. Wanda looked up at him and closed her eyes as she felt his lips on hers. She pulled away and looked at him, then at his hand holding hers.
'This is how it's going to go tomorrow…' she told herself as she kept looking at their entwined hands.
