Bob Orton walked down the steps into the churches basement he stood in the door way watching Abby turn in front of the mirror. Elaine fussed over her fixing her veil and fluffing out her dress.
Bob coughed to announce his presence, both woman turned and looked at him. Elaine had a huge smile on her face but Abby looked like something was bothering her.
"There just about ready up there." Bob said still looking at Abby who had now turned back to look at herself in the mirror and was casually fingering one of the beads on her dress.
Elaine and Bob shared a look, and Elaine walked over and gave Bob a kiss on the cheek before walking out of the room.
"Come over here Abby." Bob said.
Abby turned around and walked over to Bob. He took her hand and spun her around. "You look beautiful, but I think your missing something." Bob said.
Abby looked down at her dress then looked at Bob. "What?"
"Well every bride needs one…a smile." Bob said with a laugh.
Abby looked at Bob and over-emphasised a smile.
"You should be beaming Abby it's your wedding day the only thing I can think of that would stop you from smiling is if you didn't want to do this." Bob said.
"How do you always know what I'm thinking?" Abby asked sinking into a chair.
Bob went and sat down next to Abby. "Everyone gets cold feet Abby its normal."
"I don't think its cold feet more like freezing." Abby said. "I thought I wanted this but now I'm not too sure."
Abby felt tears prick at her eyes; she quickly swept her hand over her eyes.
Randy leant against the wall; he was making a bad habit out of hearing Abby's conversation, except this time he felt like she was saying exactly how he was feeling.
Bob was about to say something when he heard someone cough from the doorway. He turned around to see Randy standing there.
"Hey it's bad luck to see the bride before the wedding." Bob said.
"Dad can you um just give us a minute." Randy said walking towards Abby.
Abby looked up at Randy, he took off his jacket and loosened his tie before sitting down next to Abby.
"So um I thought maybe we could talk." Randy said
"Yeah okay." Abby said looking at Randy. How could she tell him?
"I um figured something out last night and this is really hard to say so I'm just going to come right out and say it."
Abby stared at Randy, where was he going with this.
"I can't marry you." Randy said really quickly.
Abby blinked her eyes a few times had he just taken her job out of her hands.
"I'm sorry Abby it's just I don't love you not in a 'lets get married' kind of way. I thought I did I was so sure of it but what I realised was I wasn't falling in love with you I was re-discovering the love that use to be between us. I know you probably hate me right now"
Abby knew it was time to speak up. "Randy I don't hate you; how could I when I was just about to tell you the same thing."
This caused Randy to smile. "Really?"
"When I first came here I thought we'd go back to being friends but then after you left me in the airport for three hours the hate I felt for you from high school returned I thought you hadn't changed and it soon became clear to me that you had changed and old feelings came back I was falling in love with a Randy Orton long gone I just didn't realise it until now."
"I wanted to make up what happened between me and you so badly I just never realised that saying sorry and starting a fresh would have done I went too far and for both things I'm sorry."
There was a small awkward silence before Abby leaned over and hugged Randy.
"I guess we should let everyone know." Abby said with a small laugh.
"No." Randy said standing u and pulling Abby up with him. "I have to tell everyone, you need to be somewhere else."
Abby looked up at Randy as she felt him slip something into her hand. She looked down and saw his car keys.
"See Abby I may not love you but there is someone who does. And I'm guessing you love him as well." Randy said before turning and heading for the stairs.
"Randy wait." Abby said walking over and pulling him into another hug and lightly kissed him on the cheek. "Thankyou." Abby said.
Both Randy and Abby walked up the stairs together, Randy turned and headed towards the main part of the church where there was a lot of noise from a lot of annoyed people and Abby giving Randy a quick wave headed out to the parking lot.
As Abby climbed into the driver's seat and got her dress under control, she began removing her veil. As Abby turned the keys in the ignition something instantly hit her.
What would she say to Dave?
A/N: Alright I know I said that this chapter was coming soon and that was ages ago but if you could see how many times I've re-wrote this thing first it was Randy then Dave then Randy twice more before I finally picked Dave if you don't like it please let me know but as constructively as possible. Oh and the next chapter may be the last as I already have two other story ideas ready and rearing to go.
