-Hands cookies to Chantal J and Ashleigh- Warning, this chapter is mighty short and I'm a tad stuck. I'll try and update this weekend.

Chapter 6

"You look so beautiful," Jeannie gushed, placing flower after white flower in Katey's flowing blonde hair. "Ben's a lucky guy."

"Yeah," Katey replied. After last weeks fight, she wasn't so sure if she was lucky as well. But should she really let a petty quarrel give her second thoughts? It wasn't that big of a deal. Then again, Julie and Dominic didn't seem too fond of Ben. She was so confused.

"Aw, Katey," Susie entered the room with a flowing bouquet of pink roses that matched her pink bridesmaids dress. "You look so pretty."

"Thanks, Suze," Katey replied.

Moments later, Katey was being rushed out of the dressing room and into the back hall of St. Mary's Church. Jeannie was sitting in the front row with Dominic and Julie. Susie and some of Katey's friends preceded her up the aisle. Soon after, the song changed and Bert was walking Katey up the aisle. Her eyes darted to the guests. Her eyes locked on the dark-skinned guest a few pews from the front. Javier. A warm mushy feeling swished in her stomach. She tried to dismiss those feelings, but it didn't work. Javier hadn't even noticed that she saw him. She continued up the aisle and stopped when she got to Ben.

The priest began the ceremony. After some time, the question that certain guests had been waiting for was asked. "Does anyone have any objections?" The priest looked around.

"Wait," Javier cried, leaving his pew and entering the aisle. "I object."

"What the…" Ben started. "Katey, what's he doing here?"

"I don't know," Katey was dumbfounded. "Javier, explain yourself."

"Katey just hear me out," Javier said. "I know I messed up when I left, but it was stupid of me. I regret ever tearing our family apart. Do you know what I'd give to be with you and the kids day in and day out, even if it meant making no money? You aren't helping the situation by turning away my apology. I know you're trying to move on, I've tried myself, but I couldn't. You can't either. I can see it in your eyes. You don't love him. Please, Katey, don't mess up our family because I was stupid. Don't you make that same mistake." At that, he turned around and left the church, leaving a crying bride at the alter.
