Chapter 15
GUY'S P.O.V
Charlie was cutting it pretty fine, we had less than 15 minutes until we were supposed to leave for the church. I was in two minds whether to just tell Connie now, and get it over with, I mean, there wasn't anything worse to me at the moment, than having to continue this charade, but then the other half was telling me, that she wouldn't believe any of us without the proof. She was far too in love with this guy. I paced up and down, trying to think of something, I couldn't let her go to the church.
"What do we do, what do we do"? Ken paced along side me.
"I don't know, all I know is that we can't let her get married". I answered.
"Guy, you have to tell her you love her"? Portman told me.
"What! Why me"? I asked eyes widening in the thought.
"Because you're the only one she'd believe". Adam responded.
"Oh great, so just because I dated her for a few years, I'm the one who has to tell her I love her? What about Luis, he had a crush on her when they first met"?
"She wouldn't believe him. You are the only one she'd truly believe". Fulton joined in.
"I can't. I can't do that to her. It would open up old wounds". I shook my head in disbelief.
"I'm gonna make new wounds if you don't". Averman tried threatening me and I chose to ignore him, giving him disbelieving look.
"Adam should, you said yourself, you told her you were asking Charlie for advice on something". Oh God I really didn't want to have to do this.
"Hum, hum". Julie cleared her throat before descending the stairs.
She was dressed elegantly in a long flowing ivory gown. She looked stunning, however her expression was anything but a happy one. In all rights this day should be one of the best days of our lives, seeing our 'little sister' get married. However it was anything but happy, as I'm sure you can imagine.
"She's coming". Julie hissed. "I hope one of you has something up you sleeve".
Then, there she was. My mouth went dry, and I felt as though my shirt collar was too tight around my neck. I was so glad that I was leaning on the back of the sofa, because I was sure that if I hadn't been, I would have fallen over. She stepped slowly down the stairs, almost like an angel coming down from heaven. Her skirt, fluttered gracefully out with each step. Her face beamed with pride, a huge almost cheesy yet beautiful smile appeared. My heart started beating faster, and I felt as though I had sweat beads dripping down my forehead, yet I hadn't got the movement to lift my arm to wipe the non existent sweat beads.
"Hubba... Hubba... Hubba". Russ, almost as shocked as myself, managed to say.
"Thanks, I think"? Connie laughed. "Where's Charlie"? She looked around us all, and as soon as she realized he wasn't present.
"Um, he's not come back yet". Goldberg told her.
"WHAT"! Connie yelped, frantically grabbing at everyone's wrists until she found one with a watch. "He has to be here, he's supposed to be giving me away". She became panicked within seconds.
"He'll be here, give him another 5 minutes". Adam said calmly, though we all knew he was just hoping he'd be here in 5 minutes with good news.
Those 5 minutes passed, faster than I wanted, or rather needed. Connie continually paced the floor, and I was dying to join her, but I was still trying to get over my previous shock at how beautiful she looked. I could see all the ducks looking at me, waiting for me to drop the bombshell on her. I didn't know whether I'd have the heart or courage to do it. When I finally thought I had enough courage, I stood, trying to get used to having to support my full weight again. I opened my mouth to say something, but Connie beat me to it.
"I can't wait for him, I should be on my way to the church by now". She grabbed her bouquet and headed for the door.
"NO"!. I shouted as she reached for the door handle, startling myself, her and the ducks. "You can't marry Brian, because, because". I stuttered, almost daring myself to say the words.
"Why not? Why can't I marry him Guy"? Connie looked at me questioningly, and I could tell her patience was running short.
"Because, I, um I"... Again the stuttering, until Portman discreetly nudged me. "I love you".
CHARLIE'S P.O.V
"No, you don't need to call Tommy". Tammy told me.
"Oh, I think I do". I continued dialing the number, which definitely wasn't Tommy's since I didn't really know his number.
"What do you want me to do"? She was slowly giving in.
"I want you to come and admit everything to Connie, before she leaves for the church".
I was adamant, that she was going to be the one to tell Connie the news, not me, not Guy, not any of the ducks, but Tammy. She was one of two people that created this mess, and she would be one of two people that fixed it. I could see the determination in her face. She was determined that she wasn't going to admit to anything, however I knew otherwise. I had seen the look in her face, when I said I'd call Tommy. That was the one thing she was afraid of. Both she and I knew, he would be disgusted with her.
"No, I can't. I can't tell her. Anything but that". She shook her head adamantly.
"Then what do you suggest, a written confession. That won't work Tammy. She needs to hear it from the horses mouth to believe it. You have to stand up to what you've done. You might be able to salvage something with her, but if I go in there and tell her myself, there won't be anything left to salvage".
"There won't be anything left to salvage anyway Charlie, whether it's me or you that tells her".
"You don't know until you try". I was running out of time.
"Open your eyes Charlie. As soon as she finds out I've been cheating on her with Brian, she's gonna hate me no matter who breaks the news to her".
"He's really gotten under your skin hasn't he"?
"Who"? She asked.
"Brian. You're nothing like the girl I remember. The Tammy I knew wouldn't have even thought about doing such a thing, and even if you didn't know straight off that Brian and Connie were together, the old Tammy would have been mortified when she found out. What happened to her"?
"She grew up and moved on".
"Well that's funny, I grew up and moved on, and I haven't cheated on anyone, let alone an old friend. Tommy has grown up and moved on, but he hasn't cheated on anyone". I was about to go on desperate measures here. "Please Tammy, I'm begging you, you have to stop this wedding from going ahead".
"You love her don't you"? She looked at me curiously.
"Who"? I asked confused at the sudden change in subject.
"Connie, you love her don't you"?
"Of course I love her. She's my little sister, I've known her since before we were out of diapers".
"No I mean really love her. Why else would you have dug as deep to find out about Brian".
What she just said, sunk in slowly, and I was unable to give her an answer straight away. I wasn't in love with Connie, I simply cared what happened to her, didn't I?
"No, I don't. I will always watch her back". I answered sharply. "Look, whether you come with me or not, I already have you confession". I pulled out a little tape recorder from my jacket pocket, and clicking the stop button. "You've just been caught out". I smirked, and backed off toward the door.
"Charlie you cant'". Her voice almost had a pleading tone.
"Watch me". I left the office, pulling my cell phone out, searching for Adam's number, to let him know I had the evidence.
"Charlie, wait". Tammy shouted, running to catch me up, jacket in her hand.
"Changed your mind I see".
So what do you think? PLEASE R&R!!!!
