Chapter 12. 'Til I Get Over You

"Lizzie! Are you ready yet?" Bella hissed, while she and her sister retouched their outfits at Miranda's chosen chapel. Lizzie had locked herself inside a bathroom, practically refusing to come out.

"Almost!" Lizzie lied, while staring at herself in the mirror. She did not want to be there right now. She would've given everything if she could get past that day without any problems. Miranda was marrying to her College sweetheart, who was none other than Larry Tudgeman, and Ethan Craft was Lizzie's date. Kate had been hooked up as dates with Danny Kessler by Miranda also. Lizzie finally walked out, taking a deep breath. She was wearing a tiny baby-pink strapless dress tied in the back. Bella's was the same, but in a baby-blue color. Miranda's little sister (Stevie, 14) and Tammy were the other bridesmaids. Stevie's dress was red, while Tammy's was a hot pink color. They all had their hair curled and down, with flowers of the same colors as their dresses. Lizzie grabbed her bouquet, sighing lowly, and Tammy started walking first. As Miranda's best friend, Lizzie had to be the last one walking. She was doing it with one of Larry's best-friends, called Dylan, while Bella was doing it with Gordo. After everybody was in their places, it was Miranda's time to come in. Lizzie smiled at the nervous Larry and turned to look as her Mexican friend walked down the aisle. Larry's eyes were transfixed in Miranda's beauty as she walked to them by her father's arm, smiling at him. Eduardo kissed his daughter's cheek and handed her to Larry, who somehow managed to smile back.
·
Lizzie sat at her table, looking around. Miranda and Larry were dancing as newlyweds, smiling all the time, while Bella seemed to have long disappeared. She knew why it was, though. Miranda had invited Paolo to her wedding. Ethan appeared on her side, holding two glasses and smiling at her.
"Hey, Blondie. C'mon, let's rock the dance floor," he said, handing her one of the glasses. She smiled a little, recognizing that nickname, and drank a sip, then took his hand. Ethan had actually learned how to dance, which caused her to laugh. Yet, she was aware that Callie, Ryan and Jay were going to show up anytime soon. She let all those thoughts flow away as soon as the music became slower and Ethan gently placed his hands on her tiny waist.

"Easy with your hands, Craft," she joked. He smiled. They were just too good friends to even think about doing anything. "You know, you look pretty good" He smiled again and caressed her long golden hair.

"And you look amazing, McGuire," he replied. She smiled back and rested her head on his strong chest, closing her eyes. Ethan placed his head on top of her hers and they danced slowly, just enjoying the feeling of having someone's arms around themselves. She broke apart a little and smiled again at him.

"By the way, Kate doesn't really like Danny. Miranda just set them up," Lizzie commented. Ethan's eyes seemed to lit up. "C'mon, go ask her to dance. I'll go rest a little... my band should be coming soon" He thanked her with a smile and walked out to find Kate, while Lizzie stood there. She caught a glimpse of a green dress and smiled at Callie, who rushed over to her. Both Ryan and Jay were dressed nicely, and carrying Callie's drums.

"Hi! You look amazing!" Callie squeaked, hugging her. Lizzie smiled sadly.

"Coolie. Now, can you set it up quickly? I just wanna get this part done," Lizzie said. Callie nodded slowly and walked back to the guys, while Lizzie just stared longingly at Jay. He seemed to be having fun with a blonde headed girl. She frowned and looked down, biting her lip. She just wished Bella was there now. Without her even realizing it, Ryan had walked up to her.

"Hey, Liz," he said, before hugging her. She smiled sadly at him and tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear. "C'mon, we're all set" She nodded and he led her up to the stage. Jay's blonde admirer blew him a kiss and he smiled at her, while Lizzie set in front of the mic.

"Hi! I wanna dedicate this song to two of my best friends... whom we're all joining today to celebrate their marriage. Congrats and good luck, guys. I know you can make it," Lizzie said. Miranda smiled at her and Callie started playing slowly. "Sometimes, I imagine the world without you
But most times, I'm just so happy that I ever found you
It's a complicated web, that you weave inside my head
So much pleasure with such pain
How we always, always stay the same

I'm feelin' the way you cross my mind
And you save me in the nick of time
I'm ridin' the highs, I'm diggin' the lows
'Cause at least I feel alive
I've never faced so many emotional days
But my life is good
I'm feelin' you
I'm feelin' you

You go, and then I can finally breathe in
'Cause baby I know, in the end you're never leavin'
Well we're rarely ever sane, I drive you crazy and you do the same
But your fire fills my soul
And it warms me up like no one knows

'Cause I'm feelin' the way you cross my mind
And you save me in the nick of time
I'm ridin' the highs, I'm diggin' the lows
'Cause at least I feel alive
I've never faced so many emotional days
But my life is good
I'm feelin' you
I'm feelin' you

(guitar solo)

I'm feelin' the way you cross my mind
And you save me in the nick of time
I'm ridin' the highs, I'm diggin' the lows
'Cause at least I feel alive
I've never faced so many emotional days

Oh I'm feelin' the way that you cross my mind
And the way that you save me in the nick of time
Oh I'm feelin' the way when you walk on by
I feel light, I feel love, I feel butterflies" Everybody clapped and Miranda went to hug Lizzie, all teary. Lizzie smiled and closed her eyes. "I hope you're really happy, Randa"

"I know I will. Now, please, sing another!" Miranda said. Lizzie arched an eyebrow and turned to Callie, who shrugged. Miranda went down, and into Larry's arms, and the band started playing again. Lizzie looked down, clutching the mic.

"And if I was wrong, I know I don't deserve this
Don't stay too long,
I need to hear those words you use to tell me
From way back when we were just friends
Before this love affair began

Tell me how I love you wins
Or how a broken heart can mend
Just tell me this is not the end
Please tell me now
How the fairy tale begins
Or how it was supposed to end
Please tell me that part again-," Lizzie stopped suddenly when they heard some yelling from a side of the chapel. Bella and Gordo were having a heated argument, which ended up when she snapped something at him, then rushed out. Lizzie followed her with her eyes, then glanced at Gordo, who exited by another door. She bit her lip and rushed after him. He was sitting outside, across the street, on a bench. She approached to him slowly as he looked down.

"The baby's not mine," he muttered. Lizzie looked down as well and sat on his side, placing an arm around him.
···
Bella sat down on the cold floor, covering her face with her hands. The violence of her cries shook her whole body. She still couldn't believe she had snapped it to him... and like that. She knew she had broken his heart. She heard some footsteps and sighed, running her hand through her hair.
"Leave me alone," she muttered. Paolo shook his head and sat next to her.

"So... you are pregnant?" he asked. "With my child?" She nodded slowly and gazed at his face. He didn't seem upset.

"Are you mad?" she whispered. He shook his head again, and grabbed her hand gently. She turned to him, tears streaming down her face. "I screwed it all up..." She buried herself in his gentle embrace, still crying, as he caressed her hair, kissing the top of her head. Once she had recomposed a little, they pulled apart and he gave her a good look. "What?" He blushed a little and shook his head.

"N-Nothing. You look really pretty," he said. She smiled through tears, shaking her head.

"Lizzie is always the pretty one," she sadly remarked. He kissed her hand gently.

"Not to me," he whispered. She faced him and he kissed her slowly, placing his hand on the back of her head. She placed hers on his face and kissed him longingly. When they finally broke it, he looked down at her again. "Can I?" She nodded and he placed his hand on her belly slowly. "Is it in there?" She giggled.

"Yes, it is. He's just too tiny right now," she said, still giggling. He bit his lip and nodded. She looked away from his face and sighed again, causing him to stare at her. "I so don't want to be here"

"Let's go, then," he said, pulling her up gently. She followed him into his car, carefully picking up the bottom of her dress, and sat on his side. She rested her head on his shoulder and watched as he drove out.
···
Lizzie stood around after the wedding ended, grabbing her sister's stuff. Callie approached to her slowly.
"Hey," Callie said. Lizzie looked at her. "How's Gordo?" Lizzie shrugged.

"Pretty torn apart. Sorry I didn't stick around to help you with the band stuff," Lizzie said. Callie shook her head.

"It's ok. He needed someone by his side," Callie whispered. Lizzie nodded and sighed, sitting down on one of the many plastic chairs. Callie sat by her side.

"What are they gonna do now? Cal, I-I can stand Gordo feeling like this. He's always been my best friend, even if we were a little apart lately," Lizzie muttered, tears filling her eyes. "That's something Jay couldn't understand. I love Gordo in a brotherly way. I don't want to see him hurt! It kills me to know he's totally depressed because he truly loved my sister!" Callie hugged her tightly and Lizzie finally let some tears stream down her face. She felt it was just overwhelming, everything around her falling apart... things she had always seen as estable. "A-And Jay was with some girl" Callie couldn't help but to smile. Jay had been with a girl... one whom Lizzie hadn't recognized.

"Hun... you didn't even look at the girl, right?" Callie asked. Lizzie shook her head, wiping off some tears. "Oh, baby... you're crying over nothing this time. That blonde girl? He felt nothing for her, besides she's way too young" Lizzie arched an eyebrow.

"You mean... Tam-Tam?" Lizzie asked. Callie nodded, causing Lizzie's heart to skip a beat.

"Yep. She wanted to make sure he was here to not let you go again," Callie whispered. Lizzie let out a tiny smile. "...but I think he's a little taken aback now. Your song really hit him"

"Thanks, Cal. I think I should better talk to him?" she said. Callie shook her head and Lizzie stared at her.

"You have to wait 'til he comes back to you. Don't you have any self-respect left, dear?" Callie inquired. Lizzie laughed and got up slowly. "Okay, I'm gonna go find Ryan now. And... don't worry about Bella. I think she and Gordo weren't going to end up happily-ever-after... Maybe she had her reasons to do it"

"Okay. I'll see you soon?" Lizzie asked, hopefully. Callie smirked and nodded. "By the way... Ryan on a tux? Way hot"

"Hands off, McGuire!" Callie warned her, just as Ryan, completely clueless, appeared next to them and wrapped his arms around Callie.

"What were you girls gushing about?" Ryan asked, while Lizzie grinned evilly.

"Why, you, of course," Lizzie said, grabbing Bella's purse. Ryan looked at Callie, who just laughed and patted his arm.

"This is disturbing me," Ryan commented, while they walked out. After grabbing everything, Lizzie still hung a little while at the place. She didn't want to leave. Besides, Ethan and Kate had left together a long while ago, looking at each other in a way that made her think theirs was going to be the next wedding she'd attend to... She mentally laughed and turned around to finally leave, walking to the door. There, on the doorframe, stood a concerned looking Jay.

End of chapter.

"Everytime I feel alone
I can blame it on you
And I do, oh

You got me like a loaded gun
Golden sun and sky so blue
We both know that we want it
But we both know you left me no choice

(Chaque fois que tu t'en vas)
You just bring me down
(Je prétends que tout va bien)
So I'm counting the tears 'til I get over you

Sometimes I watch the world go by
I wonder what it's like
To wake up every single day
Smile on your face
You never tried
We both know we can't change it
But we both know we'll just have to face it

(Chaque fois que tu t'en vas)
You just bring me down
(Je prétends que tout va bien)
So I'm counting the tears 'til I get over you

If only I could give you up
But would I want to let you off of this soapbox baby?
We both know that we want it
But we both know you left me no choice

(Chaque fois que tu t'en vas)
You just bring me down
(Je prétends que tout va bien)
So I'm counting the tears 'til I get over you

We both know that I'm not over you
I'm not over you"

AN: Okay, this was originally Chapter 11, by me, but I added the XMas special, so this is now Chapter 12. The next, and final, chapter will be up by next week. Sorry we haven't been replying to the reviews... My been pc's going crazy lately and I've had some issues...
Love ya!
LyG4ever.

PS: Let's say Jay played his guitar like Santana... Lol.

AN2: The first song (I'm Feeling You) was half for the newlyweds, half about Lizzie and Jay. The 2nd one (Fairy Tale) was entirely from Lizzie to Jay... You've gotta love that pair.

PS2: Oh, I forgot... CLIFF-HANGER! Yay! I hadn't done that in a while!

Happy New Year!
