Speak Now chapter one

Lila POV

My heels clacked against the pavement as I stepped inside the church. The huge church was decorated in white and packed full of people. The floors had been cleaned and the windows shined. I stepped in the line of people checking in. I saw Willow looking nervous in her bride's maid dress. I looked the other way hoping she wouldn't see me. Epic fail she called my name.

"Lila you came," she said.

"Why wouldn't I come?" I responded.

"Look I know you're mad, but you didn't have to make yourself miserable" She said sternly.

"Justin is my best friend there's now way I'd miss this," I said looking guilty

"Look my point is you deserve being happy after what happened," she replied.

"Don't bring that subject up." I said frowning.

"Sorry," she answered.

"Well I have to check in so bye Willow," I told her.

"See you after the wedding," she said waving.

I walked to the desk, the line had moved and it was now my turn. I checked off my name Ms. Lila Katie Scott. I walked into the main area where they were getting married. I saw Selena's family on one side of the pews and Justin's family on the other. Not wanting to talk to Justin's family I sat near the back row near Selena's family.

Pattie walked in and sat with her family. Nobody thought I was coming except Justin. He'd been my best friend since babies. My older brother , protector, and friend. Recently I started liking him and everybody knew but him. Pattie said she like Selena, but that Justin and I would make a better couple.

Selena is the nicest person I ever met. She and I are really close. Selena told me that she could call off the wedding so everybody would be happy. I replied by telling her no way and that she better marry him. She had gorgeous hair that was wavy. Mine was curly something I wasn't happy about. It was so hard to comb. She had long slender legs and a amazing voice. I possessed none of those qualities.

I smoothed my skirt and watched as Jazymn walked down the aisle. Her hair swung behind her back as she tossed flower petals on the floor. Next, came Jaxon with the rings running down the aisle. Then, all the bride's maids and groom's men. After that, everybody but Selena had come. Everyone stood up as she floated across the aisle beaming. I closed my eyes and sucked in my cheeks. Everyone sat down and the priest continued with his boring speech.

"Speak now or forever hold your peace," He boomed

It seemed that all of Justin's family was looking at me. Pattie looked like she was begging me to. I sat there not doing anything no way was I going to ruin today. I shrugged my shoulders and looked down. The priest continued on and finally they kissed. As soon as they broke apart I ran out.

I remember that one day clearly. It was the day Justin and I promised to pay for each other's wedding. I stepped over to the receptionist and asked for the bill. Four million dollars was the total. I was lucky to have a job as an actor.

"Wow miss you must really love them to pay for their wedding," the receptionist said hotly.

"I love them a lot," I said teasingly.
