The Wedding
I couldn't believe I was getting married today I was going to be Mrs. Beckett Anthony Oliver and we are going to live happily ever after just like we planned but I couldn't bring myself to be happy about that because the truth is I didn't want to marry Beck hell I didn't even love him the way he loved me yes I did care for him an awful lot but to me Beck wasn't the one the only reason I agreed to marry him was because my father thought it would be great for our careers to be Hollywood's power couple but I didn't want any of that shit I wanted her the girl who stole my heart the one who I truly belonged to I wanted Tori Vega and only her. I can hear our last conversation playing in my head.
Flashback:
" Jade I love you so much " Tori says
" I love you too Tori" I said
" Then be with me Jade leave Beck and be with me" Tori says
" Tori you know I can't do that" I said
" Why not?" She asked.
" Because it's complicated Tori" i said
" How complicated can it be Jade you don't even love him you're just leading him on and giving him false hopes" Tori said
"Tori it doesn't matter im marrying Beck" I said not really thinking but the hurt look on Tori's face showed me that I had just fucked up.
" Marrying Beck? Jade you told me we would get married now you renege how the fuck could you do this to me Jade ? I thought that you loved me but truth is I was something for you to do until Beck came home." Tori says
"Tori that's not true Beck is good for my image I want to be a star Tori and I cant do that if " I say but before I could finish what I was saying Tori cut me off.
" Your image ? So you're telling me that I wouldn't be good for your image what a load of shit Jade just say you're not ready to come out of the closet Jade that sounds better than Beck is good for your image I mean have you took a good look at him he's the poster boy of metro-sexualism but go head marry the fluffy haired bastard because I know the real reason you're just doing what your daddy told you to do break it off with me and marry Beck or he'll stop supporting you financially and because you're to chicken shit to stand up to him my father hates my lifestyle but I would never let him keep me from the one I love Jade" Tori says
Tori's right I am afraid of my father but I've dreamt of being an actress my whole life.
" Believe what you will Tori im marrying Beck and that's all there is to it " I said feeling my heart breaking with every word.
" Fine Jade have a wonderful life with Beck " Tori says walking away.
I don't know why I didn't stop her I guess I figured this was for the best.
End of flashback.
That was three years ago and I haven't heard from Tori since I watch her videos and interviews on television and hear her music all the time on the radio but that's all I have left of her I even heard she's dating a girl from a rock group called Twisted as much as it hurts me I would rather see her happy
" Jadelyn come on it's time" My father said as he took my hand and prepared to walk me down the aisle.
This was it the beginning of my new life with Beck as I took his hand and faced the preacher I knew it was the right thing to do but it felt wrong.
Minister: Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to witness the union of
Beckett Anthony Oliver and Jadelyn August West in holy matrimony, which is an honorable
estate, that is not to be entered into unadvisedly or lightly, but reverently and
this estate these two persons present come now to be joined.
If any one can show just cause why they may not be lawfully joined together, let
them speak now or forever hold their peace.
The room was silent and then ,
" I can't do this" Beck says shocking myself and everyone in the church.
" Jade I love you but I could never make you happy but I know who can I rather see you happy with someone I know you truly care for than to have to pretend to be happy but miserable inside with me" Beck says
Tears rolled down my face as he wrapped his arms around me and whispered " Go get your girl Jade" before letting me go and walking out of the church.
" Jadelyn what are you doing go after him" My father said
" Piss off dad" I said before running out of the church and hopping into the new car my father had purchased for Beck and I and zooming away to the Waldorf Astoria Hotel where I knew Tori was staying.
Inside Tori's suite:
" Tori I dont think I can do this anymore because it's clear to me that you're still hooked on your Ex whose marrying that guy today" Sasha said
" Sasha I told you im over Jade ok" Tori said
" No you're not Tori I can see it in your eyes you're still hung up on that girl but dont you think if she truly loved you she would of picked you instead of that guy she obviously didn't love you at all " Sasha said earning a slap from Tori.
" You dont know shit about Me and Jade so keep your fucking comments to yourself" Tori says realizing what she had just done.
" Oh god Sasha im so sorry i didn't mean that" Tori says.
" Fuck you Tori im out of here " Sasha says storming out of the room.
Tori walked over to the bed and plopped down on it and cried into her pillows.
" Fuck! To hell with you Jade" Tori says.
" I've been there Vega" I said making her turn around and look at me
" Jade? what are you doing here and in that damn wedding dress no less?" Tori asked.
" A wise man told me that he would rather see me happy than to play happy and be miserable with him" I said
" And what man was this?" Tori asked
" Ashton Kutcher come on Vega Beck said it He told me to go get my girl and that's what im doing" I said
" But what about your father Jade you know he would never approve of us" Tori says
" I know he wouldn't that's why I told him to piss off you were right three years ago Tori I was a coward and I have regretted not leaving with you every day since I love you Tori always have and always will" I said getting on my knee.
" Oh my god Jade what are you doing?" Tori asked
" What I should've done three years ago in that room instead of letting you leave Tori will you marry me?" I asked
" Yes I will Jade Ill marry you " Tori said
" I'm glad you didn't say no Tori " I said wrapping my arms around her.
" Why Not?" She asked with a giggle
" Because if you said no then we wouldn't be able to get married right here right now " i said
" Wait a minute right now you want to get married right now ?" Tori asked.
" Yup Padre get in here she said yes" I said waiting for the priest to walk in
" Omg Jade a priest really? " She asked
" Well technically it is my wedding day and just because the grooms have switched doesn't mean anything im not wasting this dress Tori " I said
" Haha wait a minute groom!?" Tori asked
" Well considering what your wearing you do look kind of groomish Tori " i said looking at Tori in her black button up and black leather skinny jeans.
" Shit I have to change " Tori says
" We haven't the time my love plus the priest is here" I said
" What about rings we're supposed to have matching bands right?" Tori asked
" Got that covered too sugar here now look sharp Vega we're getting married " I said grabbing her hand.
" Alright ladies are you ready ?" The priest asked
" As I'll ever be " I said
" More than ready" Tori says
" Alright dearly beloved we are gathered here today to witness the union of Jadelyn August West and Victoria Dawn Vega in holy matrimony, which is an honorable estate, that is not to be entered into unadvisedly or lightly, but reverently and this estate these two persons present come now to be joined" The priest said.
" Now Jade turn to Tori and repeat after me ,I Jadelyn take thee Victoria to be my wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love, honor, and cherish, 'til death do us part." He said
" I Jadelyn take thee Victoria to be my wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love, honor, and cherish, 'til death do us part" I said Looking into Tori's teary Brown eyes.
" Tori now your turn" The priest said
" I Victoria take thee Jadelyn to be my wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love, honor, and cherish, 'til death do us part" Tori said.
" Now the rings ladies " The priest said
" Got you right here Padre " I said taking out two gold wedding bands and handing one to Tori.
"The wedding ring is the outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual bond
which unites two loyal hearts in endless love. It is a seal of the vows Victoria Vega
and Jadelyn West have made to one another. May both of you , who give them, and
who wear these rings, live together in unity, love and happiness for the rest of their lives" The priest said.
" Alright Victoria place the ring on Jade's finger and repeat after me Jadelyn I give you this ring as a symbol of our vows, and with all that I am, and all that I have, I honor you. With this ring, I thee wed." The priest said
" Jade I give you this ring as a symbol of our vows, and with all that I am, and all that I have, I honor you. With this ring, I thee wed." Tori says with tears of joy rolling down her face.
" Jade you do the same" the priest says
" Tori I give you this ring as a symbol of our vows, and with all that I am, and all that I have, I honor you. With this ring, I thee wed." I said also crying tears of joy.
" By the power invested in me I now pronounce you wives you may kiss your bride" the priest says.
" Finally " I said pulling Tori to me and kissing her softly.
" Well my work here is done I wish you two all the love and happiness in the world" The priest said taking his leave.
" Well what do you wanna do now" I asked
" ? No Jade if im the groom you're supposed to take my last name Mrs. Vega" Tori says.
" Ummm Jadelyn August Vega yea not gonna happen Vega so we're using my last name" I said
" Or we could hyphenate it Vega-West or West-Vega" Tori says
" Alright I'll oblige you Tori West-Vega it is" I said giving her a warm smile.
" So does a honeymoon come with this hotel wedding?" Tori asked
" Sure does now pack your shit and lets go to the Bahamas the flight leaves in two hours" I said capturing Tori's lips in a sweet kiss.
