Three Weeks Later...
Ally's POV
"Hey, hey, hey, hey!" Trish greeted as she walked into the practise room.
"Hey! Where's your dress?" I asked.
"Oh, man! I left it at home! I'm gonna get it. Back in ten." Then, Dez walked in.
"Hey. Where's your suit?" Why is everyone forgetting their outfits for this wedding? He looked at me really confused.
"It doesn't start for like another forty minutes. It takes me ten minutes to get dressed." Good point. Fair play...
I grabbed my dress from the piano and walked into the bathroom across the hall, usually I wouldn't get dressed there but I didn't want to leave Dez alone in the music store. I slipped in some ear-rings I found on the shelf and the necklace Austin had bought me.
When I went back into the practice room, Austin had appeared. He was wearing a jet black suit with a white shirt. His tie was black, to match his suit and his hair was flopping just in the right place, as always. Dez was still not dressed and I walked in wearing my outfit for the wedding.
It was a white and pink floral dress that went down to my knees, I wore some pink flats and my hair was slightly curly with some of my hair in a braid across the top of my head. I hardly wore any make-up, as usual, just a little bit of mascara and my lips were a little bit tinted from my cola lip balm. I had sliver heart studs that I found on the shelf and the necklace I wear every day that Austin bought me for my birthday last year.
"Wow." Dez... uh greeted?
"Wow, you look great." I grabbed my light pink cardigan from the couch and put it on. I looked at my outfit, why did they like it so much?
"What?" I asked, honestly confused.
"You look great, and hey! You're wearing the necklace I gave you." Austin said, holding the part of the necklace saying 'loveyou' on. I smiled at him and he watched my eyes look at down at the necklace.
"I always wear this necklace." I told him, still smiling.
"Oh. You're hair looks cute too, how long did it take you?"
"Only about five or ten minutes." I told him.
"It looks great, what time does this thing start?" He wondered, looking around.
"You don't know what time your own wedding is?" I couldn't believe that. He just shrugged.
"It starts in half an hour and it takes twenty minutes to get there and you need to get there ten minutes early, so in other words: GET YOUR BUTT TO THE CHURCH!" He looked over to Dez who was watching us like a hawk.
"Dez..." Austin said in slow motion. "You have thirty seconds to get ready." He said, normally. Dez ran out to find his suit in the bathroom... I don't know why it was in there.
Amazingly, he came out ten seconds later all ready. We got into Austin's car and drove over to Trish's, really hoping she was ready. He pulled outside her house and I ran in to get her.
"TRISH! ARE YOU READY?" I screeched.
"Yeah! I'm up here! Comin' down!" She called from upstairs.
"Kay! Hurry we have twenty minutes to be there and it takes that long to get there!" Then I saw Trish wearing a red dress that was cut off just above her knees with a dark pink jacket. Her shoes were a small pair of fuchsia heels and she wore a silver heart necklace with matching dangly ear-rings. She looked great.
"You look great! LET'S GO!" I said as I grabbed her wrist and dragged her out the house and pushed her into the car.
"Let's go, let's go, let's go!" I told Austin who then started the car and began to drive to the church.
Twenty minutes later, we arrived me and Trish went into the spare room in the back, to our surprise it had Tilly and her bridesmaid in it.
"Ashley! You are tugging on my dress! You are such a waste!" She screamed. But then she noticed me... "What is that doing here? I know about Trish but you! WHY ARE YOU HERE?" Tilly screeched at me.
"Uh... Austin invited me." I stated.
"He never told me. YOU ARE UNINVITED! GET OUT OF THE CHURCH NOW!"
"Okay! Okay, I'm gonna go tell Austin I'm going. I'll see you later, Trish." I said as I put my hands up in defence, walking out of the room. I found Austin with Dez in the main room. I saw Tilly's family in one corner all wearing the small type of faded light colour.
"Austin!" I called his name, but he didn't hear me so I walked over to him quickly and explained to him I was going and why I was going. He pouted at me and told me to stay with his famous puppy dog eyes but I turned him down, I think that is the first time I have ever said no to his puppy dog eyes.
I didn't actually 'leave' exactly, I hid behind the curtain. DON'T JUDGE ME! I couldn't leave, I couldn't leave the guy I've loved for ten years' wedding. Could I? Nope. I am not the kind of girl that does that. I could hear a quiet conversation
"Austin!" Trish yelled.
"Hello?" Austin asked, looking around the room confused.
"AUSTIN!" Trish screeched.
"Oh. Hi Trish." He greeted as he saw her running towards him.
"What the hell are you gonna do? We were meant to get Ally to sing while you sign the damn registers!" Oh... Was I now?
"Oh. We got a problem."
"Just a little one. And she was supposed to sing at the party afterwards." Trish stated. I was going to get forced to sing?
"Oh God..." He said rubbing his forehead.
"What are you gonna do?" Trish asked as she pushed him to the back of them room I'm guessing towards the curtain because I heard them really well.
"Well, what was she gonna sing?" Austin questioned.
"I dunno, she was writing some song earlier when we got to the church. I only know the first line though." What song has she heard? Please don't let it b-
"How did it start then?" Please don't let it b-
"The first line was 'I am not the kind of girl'." Oh God... It was that one.
Austin ran to the front as I peeked out the curtain and pulled Trish into it.
"Ally! You're still here?" She whisper-shouted, excited.
"Uh yeah. What was you going to make me sing?" I asked, crossing my arms.
"Well..." She said for a long time in that really high pitched voice quietly 'cause we both knew if anyone heard we would be dead.
"Well... what?" I mocked her by saying 'well' like her but then went back to my normal voice saying 'what'.
"I was thinking of that song where the first line is 'I am not the kind of girl' that you wrote."
"Trish! That was about Austin marrying the wrong girl. I can't sing that in front of everybody. I can't sing anything in front of everybody. It's not even finished." I whispered.
"Listen. Can you sing it, here? Just in here, in front of me." I nodded, I've only ever sang in front of Austin but I could make it work.
"I am not the kind of girl
Who should be rudely in
On a white veil occasion
But you, are not the kind of boy
Who should be marrying the wrong girl,"
I clapped my hands lightly an continued to sing.
"I sneak in and see your friends
And her snotty little family
All dressed in pastel
And she, is yelling at a bridesmaid
Somewhere back inside a room
Wearing a gown shaped like a pastry,"
"This is surely not what
You thought it would be
I lose myself in a daydream
Where I stand and say,"
I sang a little louder but I was pretty sure no-one could hear us.
"Don't say yes, run away now
I'll meet you when you're out
Of the church at the backdoor
Don't wait or say a single vow
You need to hear me out
And they said "Speak Now","
That's all I wrote of the song, but I'm gonna make it up, from now. It's just Trish.
Austin's POV
I heard a faint voice sing, but I couldn't recognize it. But whoever was singing was amazing. Her angelic voice sound quite familiar but I couldn't name it.
"Don't say yes, run away now
I'll meet you when you're out
Of the church at the backdoor
Don't wait or say a single vow
You need to hear me out
And they said "Speak Now",
Oh shut up conscience. Then I heard the organ start to play the song. Tilly's coming. I saw her float down the aisle.
Ally's POV
I was still singing in the curtains to Trish. So far so good and no one can hear us!
"Fond gestures are exchanged
And the organ starts to play a song
That sounds like a death march
And I am hiding in the curtains
It seems that I was uninvited
By your lovely bride-to-be,"
I sang, still making it up. I was running out of ideas.
"She floats down the aisle
Like a pageant queen
But I know you wish she was me,
You wish she was me
Don't 'cha?"
I put in a chorus and got some time to think of what to put in the song.
"Don't say yes, run away now
I'll meet you when you're out
Of the church at the backdoor
Don't wait or say a single vow
You need to hear me out
And they said "Speak Now","
"Don't say yes, run away now
I'll meet you when you're out
Of the church at the backdoor
Don't wait or say a single vow
You need to hear me out
And they said "Speak Now","
Austin's POV
"Do you, Tilly Amy Thompson take Austin Monica Moon to be your lawfully wedded husband. Do you promise to love him, comfort him, honour and keep him in sickness and in health, remaining faithful to him as long as you both shall live?" He said, reading from the book and looking up at us at times.
"I do. And you don't need to do this part just do the part where you pronounce us blah blah." The preacher nodded.
"Okay, if there is anyone present that disapproves of this marriage, please speak now or forever hold your peace." Please Ally. Please. Please. Please. Someone disapprove!
Then, I saw her fly from the curtain. Ally. My Ally being pushed out of a curtain.
Ally's POV
"I hear the pre-" I sang but Trish pushed me out. All eyes were on my, Austin stared at me with his kind brown eyes. I thought that it's now or never. So I sang, shaking.
"I hear the preacher say
"Speak Now or forever hold your peace"
There's the silence, there's my last chance
I stand up with shaking hands, all eyes on me,"
I looked around, everyone was gasping except from Austin mum and sister, who were smiling for some reason.
"Horrified looks from everyone in the room
But I'm only looking at you,"
I looked behind me, Trish was holding my acoustic guitar, and I grabbed it and put the strap over my shoulder and played some chords.
"I am not the kind of girl
Who should be rudely in
On a white veil occasion
But you, are not the kind of boy
Who should be marrying the wrong girl,"
I smiled and started to walk down the aisle with the guitar playing the song.
"So don't say yes, run away now
I'll meet you when you're out
Of the church at the backdoor
Don't wait or say a single vow
You need to hear me out
And they said "Speak Now","
I saw Tilly's face burn up.
"And you say,"
"AUSTY! YOU NEED TO GET THAT OUT! THAT'S WHY I UNINVITED IT! GET IT OUT! SECURITY!" Tilly screamed.
Austin's POV
"And they said "Speak now" and you say," Ally's angelic voice sang to me. I saw Tilly's face redden, let's just say if we were cartoons she would have steam coming out of her ears right now.
"AUSTY! YOU NEED TO GET THAT OUT! THAT'S WHY I UNINVITED IT! GET IT OUT! SECURITY!" Tilly screeched. It? She's a girl. And, man I hate it when she calls me, Austy.
"I'm a she. You know she as in girl..." Ally explained. Tilly took a deep breath.
"Look. Austy loves me. That's why he is going to marry me."
"Let's run away now
I'll meet when I'm out
Of my tux at the backdoor
Baby I didn't say my vows
So glad you were around
When they said "Speak Now"."
I sang, I saw Ally's face light up, I met her gaze and ran over to her. Hugging her, with her head in my neck.
"I've been waiting ten years for this to happen." I whispered into her ear.
"UGH! AUSTY YOU'LL NEVER FIND ANYONE LIKE ME! EVER!" We released from the hug and saw Trish walking down the aisle.
"Actually. I think he has." Trish told her.
That's the end of this story, sorry for not updating for like.. EVER. But anyway, there's chapter three!
