A/N: Sorry for the long wait for an update. I don't really know what to do with this story, that's a reason why I haven't been updating this story, I have ideas in my head but I just don't know how to get to those points, the way this story is turning out is how I planed it would. I'm skipping to July 19, two days before Miranda and Gordo's wedding. This may be the last chapter.
July 19:
Lizzie has been really busy trying to get things all nice and perfect for Miranda and Gordo's wedding…She's rarely home she's always gone working on that wedding and helping Jasmine with Matthew's wedding which isn't for like another week but they have a lot things that need to be done.
Ronnie was beginning to wonder if Lizzie felt the same about him still; because she's spending a lot of time with Gordo… he feels that her old feelings for him will come back… just a couple days ago he ran into his ex-girlfriend the one that he dumped Lizzie for, in junior high. She was doing good and not yet married.
Lizzie's POV:
To many more things need to be done before Saturday, everyone has already R.S.V.P. but now I have to make the seating arrangements, figure out the floor plan, make a schedule for when the food will be served… the first dance… the father, daughter dance. Get the football field all decorated, get the chairs set up. I do have a crew that I hired but I still help them out with the decorating.
This is one of the biggest accounts that we've done yet and I've been busy for the last week… and Ronnie's probably upset because of the time I spend with Gordo and Miranda. It sucks because I barley get to see him and my daughter Alexis. I don't even get a break after this because Jasmine wants me to help with Matthew's.
I'm starting to wonder why did I get in this business then I remember, how much fun it was doing Matt and Melina's wedding. The asked me to do it because Melina so my dream wedding book, that had all my future wedding plans.
July 20:
Today is going to be so hectic, putting all the final touches and making sure the caterers, the band and the waiters all are going to make it tomorrow. Plus there is the rehearsal dinner; I'm just there as the wedding planner making sure everything is going well with that, if things were the same then I would be in the wedding but no not know, I would like to say that I'm hurt but I'm not really. I understand her reasons, 1) since we haven't been close in like five years and some others.
I'll see more of Ronnie and Alexis today then I have the past week… I feel like a bad mother not always being there but I will really soon.
I worked all day on that freakin' football field in the hot sun making sure everything was looking great and making sure everything was in place. Then by the time I was done there, I had to go and check on the caterers, the waiters, the decorators. Then I had to go home get ready for the rehearsal dinner, even though I'm just there to make that everything goes according to planned. Ronnie, me, and Alexis went out for awhile. We went to the park and me and Ronnie talked while Alexis played. I didn't realize how much I missed in the last week or so. I felt like I just appeared in their lives and knew nothing what so ever. I left from the park and went to the dinner while Ronnie took Alexis out to dinner. I apologized for being gone for the past week.
So far everything at the rehearsal was going smooth, everyone was visiting and chatting and I was continuously in and out of the kitchen making sure everything was coming along good. When I wasn't in the kitchen I was making sure all the guests were having a good time and checking the table settings, making sure that they are correct.
I was stopped by Mrs. Gordon…
"Lizzie, you're doing a good job on this wedding." Mrs. Gordon complimented.
"Thank you…I'm trying my best."
"So how have you been Lizzie?"
"Alright I guess."
"You know I knew I would go to my son's rehearsal dinner but I didn't think that Miranda would be the bride, I always thought that you would be the bride… but I guess the days of you and Gordo are over."
"Yeah I guess so. To be quite honest I will miss those days."
"So I hear that you are engaged…"
"Yeah to Ronnie, but right now I haven't been around that much because I'm working on two big weddings. So we'll see if that actually works out."
"Don't go and doubt your guys' feelings for one another."
"It's not much of a doubt it's more of certainty, then anything else."
"Why do you say that?"
"It's not that I know for sure but I feel that it's coming."
"Oh."
"Well I should go and check on the cooks again."
I then turned to go check on the cooks and dinner was ready to be served. I of course was helping the waiters. But before we went out there I had to make the announcement.
"Excuse me! Will everyone please take a seat? Dinner is ready."
They all went and took their seats. And I went back into the kitchen.
We all came out with plates for everyone; I somehow ended up in the back of the line and ended up giving my plate to Gordo. That wasn't planned I was supposed to give mine to Miranda's cousin.
After the diner there was some dancing and then everyone started to leave, car by car for some odd reason. When everyone was gone I helped the clean up crew clean up. Then I finally was able to go home.
I got home and Ronnie was sitting at the dinning room table, I knew that something had to be up. So I of course walked over to him and sat across the table from him.
"Ronnie, what's going on?"
"Lizzie we need to talk."
"Nothing good ever comes next after that."
"I know that… Lizzie I love you and I know that you love me. I also know that you still have feelings for Gordo. And to be honest over the past week I regained feelings for my ex-girlfriend…"
By that time I was starting to cry.
"Ronnie, I love you. I know that won't make you stay. Yeah I miss being with Gordo but I would like to be with you…"
I honestly didn't know what to say.
"I like being with you too, but we just clicked again. We can still be friends right."
"Yeah… it's just weird you're dumping me for her again… but the only thing different about this time is I don't have Miranda and Gordo to help me through it like last time."
"I'll be gone by the time you and Alexis get back from the wedding."
"So I'm going to have to explain to her why you left, the only guy she knows other than Matt and my dad, your dad and Gordo's dad."
"I'm sorry about that, but it would be too hard for me, and I know that it'll be hard for you too."
"Okay. But I think I can do it."
He walked over and he hugged me.
July 21:
The day that I've been dreading, I woke up and made breakfast for everyone. I was dreading today for two reasons, one because Ronnie was leaving today, and two because Gordo was getting married.
After breakfast, I got ready then I got Alexis ready for the wedding. We drove to the football field; I had to be there early to recheck everything. By the time that was done everyone was here and in their seats, and all I had to do was check up on the bride and groom.
I didn't mean it
When I said I didn't love you, so
I should have held on tight
I never shoulda let you go
I didn't know nothing
I was stupid, I was foolish
I was lying to myself
I could not fathom that I would ever
Be without your love
Never imagined I'd be
Sitting here beside myself
Cause I didn't know you
Cause I didn't know me
But I thought I knew everything
I never felt
Almost an hour later the groom was in front of everyone with the preacher… and the wedding march was just beginning to play. After she got up there and her father gave her away. I got up and began to sort of leave.
The feeling that I'm feeling
Now that I don't hear your voice
Or have your touch and kiss your lips
Cause I don't have a choice
Oh, what I wouldn't give
To have you lying by my side
Right here, cause baby
(We belong together)
chorus
When you left I lost a part of me
It's still so hard to believe
Come back baby, please
Cause we belong together
I looked back down the aisle and he was staring down at me, not paying attention to what the preacher was saying. Miranda was getting mad. I mouthed 'goodbye' to Gordo then turned and walked away, leaving my daughter with her grandma mainly because she deserved to see her father marry, the one he loves.
Who else am I gon' lean on
When times get rough
Who's gonna talk to me on the phone
Till the sun comes up
Who's gonna take your place
There ain't nobody better
Oh, baby baby, we belong together
I can't sleep at night
When you are on my mind
Bobby Womack's on the radio
Saying to me
"If you think you're lonely now"
Wait a minute
This is too deep (too deep)
I gotta change the station
So I turn the dial
Trying to catch a break
And then I hear Babyface
"I only think of you"
And it's breaking my heart
I'm trying to keep it together
But I'm falling apart
I'm by the gate when I hear someone shout…
"Lizzie wait!"
I turn and to my surprise it's Gordo.
"I Love you!"
"Gordo, I love you too."
He got closer and we kissed.
"Wait, you're supposed to be marrying Miranda."
"I can't marry her, when all I can think about is you."
I'm feeling all out of my element
I'm throwing things, crying
Trying to figure out
Where the hell I went wrong
The pain reflected in this song
It ain't even half of what
I'm feeling inside
I need you
Need you back in my life, baby
chorus
When you left I lost a part of me
It's still so hard to believe
Come back baby, please
Cause we belong together
"Wait what about Ronnie?"
"He broke it off last night, because he fell for his ex-girlfriend again."
"I'm sorry Lizzie."
"It's okay."
"Mommy!" I heard a little voice shout.
Alexis came running towards me, I picked her up.
Who else am I gon' lean on
When times get rough
Who's gonna talk to me on the phone
Till the sun comes up
Who's gonna take your place
There ain't nobody better
Oh, baby baby, we belong together, baby
chorus
When you left I lost a part of me
It's still so hard to believe
Come back baby, please
Cause we belong together
Who am I gonna lean on
When times get rough
Who's gonna talk to me
Till the sun comes up
Who's gonna take your place
There ain't nobody better
Oh baby, baby
We belong together
"This is how it should be."
….
Miranda was mad at first, but then she found out that the one she really loves is Danny Kessler and that he loves her too. So they married and I was their planner, we were back to being the best of friends.
Me and Gordo well we married, and we moved into his house in the hills. Alexis loves the house. I still plan weddings. My office was moved to L.A. which was good since that's where Jasmine was going to move after she married and had her baby.
Jasmine had a baby boy and named him Christien Anakin, because of her love of Hayden Christensen and her love of Star Wars.
Matt and Melina had a baby girl and named her Aurora Leigh.
Ronnie and his girlfriend ended up getting married, I planned that wedding as well.
Kate and Larry have a set of twins, a girl named Riley Rayne and a boy named Corey Addison.
A/N: I hope you enjoyed the last chapter. I'm sorry if it sucked. I changed how the story was going to end because you guys preferred it to be a LG.
