There's Nothing Like A Wedding…

Chapter 9

Christmas quickly passed and it was almost time for me, Asha, and Dougie to return to England. Asha was doing another study abroad, and decided that by the end of the quarter she was going to officially transfer. She said she liked the school, liked the people and liked the scenery. "Oh," she added as an afterthought "Dougie's not bad either." He just faked looking hurt, but she leaned over and gave him a kiss and his hurt face disappeared.

I managed to sell the apartment and get everything turned over to the new owner's names. All of my stuff was ready to be shipped over whenever I was ready and my bags were packed for Eli's wedding. Eli and Harry told me I could stay at their house for as long as I needed until I could get a place. I told them thank you, and that's where I stayed whenever I got back to England.

It was a little awkward being in close proximities of Danny. But really, I never saw him. Eli said that he didn't really come out much, that most of the time he stayed at home, but occasionally he would go out to the clubs with them. I told her that I didn't really care what he did with disinterest as I walked away.

I noticed something about Eli right away though. She was barely four months along, but already she had a slight pudge. I said something to her about it, and she just groaned saying she had to let her dress out already and that just made her angry. I laughed at her, thinking how cute it was.

Since Eli's wedding was New Year's Day that meant I got to spend New Years Eve with everybody and that also meant that there was going to be a party. The party was at Tom's house and I tried to tell Eli that I wasn't going, but she and Harry literally, and I mean literally, dragged me down to Tom's house saying that everyone should be there. I managed to lock myself in a room most of the night and avoided any Danny contact that I could have possibly had.

Two minutes before midnight, I silently made my way downstairs to the living room where everyone was gathered around a television. As the clock turned to 11:59 I stepped into the room. About the same time I did, Danny looked up from the couch across the room and made eye contact with me. We stared at one another and I still didn't see any twinkle in his eyes. He held a beer bottle in his hand, but it looked like it hadn't been drunk out of much.

At midnight the clocks chimed and everyone cheered and kissed their significant other. I just stood in my spot, staring at Danny as he stared back at me, then once the clocked finished chiming, I was out the door and down the street to Eli and Harry's house where I ran upstairs and flung myself on the bed.

McFly

The next morning I woke with a headache. Not because I was hung over or anything, but because I had cried myself to sleep…again. Eli came rushing into my room at half past seven rambling at me that it was time to get up. I rolled over and looked at the clock and groaned, then fell back asleep until eight. Then I got up and went to take a shower which made me feel much better afterwards.

I walked downstairs to find Eli, Asha, Gia, Eli's sister and her cousin sitting around the table. Her mother and father were in the living room and Harry had stayed at Tom's house the night before. Eli was pacing the floor back and forth about to have a nervous break down when I entered. Gia looked up at me worried as soon as I stepped into the room.

"She's been doing this for the past fifteen minutes. We're afraid she's lost it." I just shot her a look then went to Eli and grabbed her by the shoulders.

"Eli snap out of it!" I barked at her and she stopped talking and pacing.

She looked at me and blinked her eyes a few times, then nodded her head. "Right, sorry about that." I just laughed and pulled her to me in a hug.

"It's ok; it's your wedding day. If you weren't freaking out some, I'd think you were sick or something." Everyone in the room laughed as her mother and father walked into the room.

"Well now, I see that everyone is up and moving." She shot me a small look.

"Good morning Mrs. Weston, Mr. Weston. I hope you both had a peaceful night last night." I shot them a fake smile, and Mrs. Weston just nodded her head.

"The bed could have been a little more comfortable, but I guess it was alright." I closed my eyes and rolled them so that Mrs. Weston couldn't see, then opened them again and smiled at her.

"Well, you know those guest room mattresses, never really as good as the ones in the master bedroom. But where would the fun in that be whenever the guest rooms are for the guests." She shot me a smile that wasn't a smile and turned to Eli.

"I trust you've had breakfast already." Eli nodded her head and so did the rest of the girls.

"Great, now, let's get you down to the salon so we can have your hair done. And please remember to wear something that's easy to slip over your hair, or even something that buttons up." The girls nodded and stood up to exit the room. On our way out Gia leaned over and whispered to me.

"Is she always that uptight." I shook my head.

"You've just seen her on a day when she doesn't have a stick up her butt. You're lucky." Gia let out a little giggle and so did Asha who was standing beside me.

McFly

We had a problem. Only one problem. The bride was currently…unavailable. Eli had locked herself in the bathroom and refused to come out. She was fine until the moment we got her dress on and had her completely ready. Then she took off for the bathroom, locked the door and sat on the toilet hyperventilating.

I stood on the other side of the door trying my best to sooth her even though there was a big hunk of wood separating us. It would have gone a lot smoother if her mother wasn't standing beside me yelling at the girl to get her butt out of the bathroom. Finally, I couldn't take it anymore and I rounded on her mother, my nerves already to the end with my own problems and now Eli's and I unleashed everything I had been holding back since her mother's arrival.

"Mrs. Weston!" I yelled at the woman, and all of the girls eyes that were in the room turned to me. "Would you kindly remove yourself from in front of this door? I am trying to calm your daughter down and you are doing nothing but upsetting her more. Now, if you don't move, I will not have a problem moving you myself. Because this is inot/i my day. I'm faced with seeing an ex-boyfriend that I despise at the moment, my best friend is hyperventilating in the bathroom on her wedding day, her mother is being nothing but a pain in my ass, and to top it all off I'm wearing bPINK!/b. So, I'm asking you to please, go sit down and leave her alone, or I'll sit you down myself." Mrs. Weston gave me a vile look, but turned on her heel and stomped off. A few minutes later I heard the bathroom door unlock and I opened it to see Eli smiling at me. "What are you smiling at?" I asked her, my mood still a little sour.

"You just told off my mom." She said, a wide smile spreading across her face. "I've never been able to tell off my mom to her face, and you did. Thank you!" She cried and threw her arms around my neck.

"Well the old hag was being a real pain in my ass, and I'm never in a good mood whenever I wear pink."

"Well I'm glad I got pink then, if that's what made you tell off my mom." All of the girls burst out giggling and I couldn't help but to laugh myself.

Just then Asha came rushing into the room to tell us that everyone was ready. Eli looked like she was about to hyperventilate again, but I just shook her lightly and she calmed right down.

"Right, now everybody lets go." She threw her hand up in the air and made a circular motion with it and the girls grabbed their bouquets and headed out the door.

As soon as I stepped out the door, my heart quit beating. Each girl had joined the guy that she was paired with, and that only left one guy for me…Danny. I turned to Eli and gave her a glare.

"I thought we discussed this." I hissed.

She looked at me sheepishly. "Well we did, but Gia's with Tom, Mary Beth's with Dougie and you know that Kendra kind of has a thing for Harry's brother Alan, so she wanted to be with him and well…that only leaves you and Danny."

"Well can't you switch me and Mary Beth?" I demanded stomping my foot.

"No, things just wouldn't look right. Things are staying the way they are Tonya and that's final." She gave me a stern look, but I began to protest. "This is imy/i wedding Tonya, and things will go as I say." The look she gave me was enough to scare my biological grandmother. So I glared at her one last time and tuned on my heel and walked to the group. Danny looked down at me as I approached him, but I just stared ahead, waiting for things to start up and our queue to walk down the isle. I didn't loop my arm with his until it was just our time to start walking. As soon as we stepped into the room I plastered a fake smile on my face and walked down the isle. I can put on a media face too you know.

At the end of the isle Danny and I parted and the music for Eli to enter began. I turned to look at her. She looked so beautiful, and as soon as Harry's eyes landed on her, I was sure that he went a little weak in the knees. His eyes didn't leave hers once when she entered the room. And I swear I saw him fidgeting throughout the ceremony. Once the words 'You may now kiss the bride' were echoed in the room, he swooped down, capturing her lips with his and he kissed her in a long passionate kiss.

Once that was finished they took off up the isle and I had to once again meet Danny. I linked arms with him, but once I was at the doors I let go immediately and took off in the opposite direction of him.

The wedding party rode in a limo on the way to the reception hall. I sat beside Dougie and talked to him the whole way as Danny sat between Mary Beth and Kendra. He kept shooting me glances, but I kept ignoring him and stared only at Dougie, or anyone else but him.

We had to walk into the hall together, so I repeated my actions that I used when I was at the wedding. However Eli, and I know this was planned, had me sitting beside Danny during dinner. She said that she wanted all of the wedding party to sit beside who they were paired up with, but I knew she had ulterior motives.

Danny tried to talk to me a couple of times. Asking me to pass the salt or the butter. But I just thrust whatever it was at him and went back to eating my food. Eli also had me sitting on the end, so I didn't have anyone to talk to except Danny. Dinner for me…was quiet.

After dinner it was time for the 'wedding party' dance. Eli's so lucky that looks can't really kill, because if they could, I would have killed her so many times that night. Keeping with the pattern that Eli had formed that night, guess who I got the pleasure of dancing with. I swore to the god above that as soon as she was back from her honeymoon and no longer pregnant, I was killing her.

So I took Danny's offered hand and placed that same fake smile on my face that I had been wearing all night and followed him out onto the floor. He placed his arm around my waist and held my other one in his hand. I lightly placed my other arm on his shoulder and looked right to the side of his head so it appeared I was looking at him, but really I wasn't.

The music began, and we began to dance. I kept my eyes away from his because I was afraid of what would happen if I looked into his eyes. Just being this close to him and smelling his scent was bringing back so many great memories. All of them rolled through my head like they were on film and I began to feel myself yearn for them.

I was snapped out of my memories when I head him speak softly. "Tonya, please, look at me." At the sound of his voice my heart hardened a slight scowl appeared on my face.

"No." I said tightly. And I felt him sag just a little.

"Please Tonya, just let me tell you the truth."

That's when I finally did turn to look at him. Only it wasn't what he was expecting. My eyes were hard and full of ice. "I'm only doing this because Eli is my best friend and this is her wedding day. As soon as this dance is over I'm out of here, and I don't want to ever talk to you again."

I saw so much hurt in his eyes when I said this, and I turned my head away unable to bear it. Deep down inside I still had feelings for him, but the image of him kissing another girl kept popping into my head each time I thought about him and all of those feelings were pushed deeper down. I had to get away from him as soon as I could.

Finally after what seemed like an eternity, the song ended and I fled the floor faster than a bullet. I ran right off the floor and right out of the room to a bathroom, where I locked myself in the stall.

A few minutes later I heard Asha and Gia's voices outside the door. "Tonya, are you in there?" Gia said quietly.

I slowly unlocked the door and opened it. Gia and Asha both filed in and shut the door behind them. When they saw my tear stained face, with my make up all smeared, Asha enveloped me in a hug.

"I want to go home." I cried, holding on to her like a little child.

"Oh honey, don't cry please." She rubbed my back like a mother would her child and tried to sooth me.

"I have to get away from here; I have to get away from Danny. I can't take this anymore. I love him to death, but every time I look at him, the image of that blonde bimbo keeps popping into my head."

"Well Tonya you need to talk to him." Gia said trying to get me to go.

"No, I don't want to talk to him. I just want to go home and forget all about him."

"Tonya running away from things isn't going to make things any easier."

"They did before." I protested and started crying harder.

"But that only lasted for how long."

"I was doing well until Eli made me partner up with him tonight."

"Tonya…" Gia started but trailed off. The stall became a little quieter.

"How about we go someplace else Tonya? This stall is getting a little cramped." Asha suggested. "I know of a room upstairs that we could go to." I pulled away from Asha and wiped my eyes. Gia handed me some bunched up paper towels that she had brought with her and I took it wiping my eyes.

"Yeah I guess it is getting a little cramped in here. Maybe we should go someplace else." The girls both smiled at me then walked out of the stall. They led me upstairs to a room at the far end of the hall. Asha opened the door and stepped out of the way for me to enter. The room was dark and as soon as I stepped in, she slammed the door shut behind me and locked it. Immediately I began to bang on the door yelling for them to let me out.

"This is for your own good Tonya." Gia said to me through the little glass, and a few seconds later she was gone.

I looked around the dark room and saw that it was empty. No other person was in it. The only thing that was in the room was a little round table and some chairs and some kids toys. This must have been a kid's play room. I walked over to a chair and pulled it out to sit on it. If they thought locking me up in a room by myself was for my own good, then they both were a little more messed up in the head then I ever gave them credit for. I sat by myself in the dark room for at least five minutes, contemplating whether or not I should go and see if the window was escapable, when the door opened again. Thinking that it was Asha and Gia coming to their senses and deciding to let me out I stood up. However someone else was shoved into the room and the door slammed shut again, being locked once again from the outside.

"You jerks!" I heard a males voice yell and I knew right away whose voice it was.

McFly

I silently cursed Asha, Gia, Eli, Harry, Tom and Dougie, knowing they all had a part in this. Inside I thought of what I was going to do to all of them once I got out of this room. Not only was I thinking of what I was going to do to them, I also contemplated what I was going to do to the owner of the voice. Who I knew to be the last person on earth I wanted to be locked in a room with: Danny.

Danny turned around searching the dark room with his eyes, until they landed on me. With it being dark, he couldn't really tell who I was, but I'm sure that he put two and two together and figured out it was me.

"You!" I shouted going straight for him. "You put them up to this didn't you?" I got right up next to him and shoved an accusing finger in his face. He just glared down at me, and swatted my hand away.

"Are you mad? Of course I didn't put them up to this. I'm just as stunned that they did this as you are." The light flashed in his eyes and I could see that he was telling the truth, so I backed away.

I gave him one last glare then stomped off to my chair and jerked on it roughly and sat down. Danny looked around the room for some place else to sit, but didn't find anyplace, so he came over to the table and sat in the chair opposite me.

The room was silent for quite some time. And then Danny spoke. "Tonya I'm sorry ok." He sounded so…sincere. I almost wanted to turn to him, but I kept my composure and stared ahead, ignoring him. "If you're not going to talk to me, then could you at least listen to me?"

I still didn't answer him. I was currently staring at some spot on the floor that looked very interesting. He took my silence as an ok to go on. But really I was just ignoring him.

"It wasn't my fault that day Tonya. I woke up before you because I heard someone knocking at the door. So I went to answer it. And there was Sarah. Sarah is a girl who used to follow us around from each show we had. She's tried multiple times to get with me, but each time I turned her down. Except for one night, when I was totally drunk, and she just happened to be there. This was a long time ago, before we were together. And ever since that night she's continued to follow me, thinking that there was something between us even though I told her time after time that there wasn't. Then that day, she came in the door and before I could stop her she was kissing me. I pushed her away as soon as I could Tonya. After you slammed the door at me, I turned around and yelled at her to get out. I told her I never wanted to see her again and if she ever showed her face again, I was going to call the police on her. She fled the room right after that."

I felt tears beginning to well up in my eyes when he said this. I wanted so badly to believe him, but a part of me just wouldn't. There was something still nagging at me, something I had to know.

"What about Kaylee." I asked, startling not only him, but myself as well.

"Kaylee?" He asked unsure of what I was talking about. I turned to look at him, a slight glare in my eyes, but once I made contact with is blue eyes, even though I could barely see him in the dark room, everything began to slip away.

"Yes, the one who kept calling you and sending you text messages." Danny looked guilty again.

"Kaylee is…my ex." Great, not only did I have a blonde bimbo trying to steal my boyfriend, I had his ex calling him all of the time too. My glare returned and I turned back around in my seat staring ahead, my arms crossed over my chest. "But it's not what you think. Kaylee and I broke up right after we met you and Eli. But we stayed close friends. We've known each other since practically birth and started dating when we were teenagers, but it didn't last long because we realized we were better off friends. But she's been calling me lately, because she has recently gotten married and she and her new husband are having problems. She's been asking me for advice and stuff and I've been trying to help her."

"Then why did you tell me that it was your sister calling you?" I questioned, ice still in my voice.

"Because Kaylee is like a sister to me. Ever since we broke up, she's been more like a sister to me than anything. I guess you could compare her and my relationship to yours and Dougie's."

That hit me right there. Danny was right. Dougie and I had a relationship like he had with Kaylee. Sometimes I saw Dougie as more of a brother than a best friend. I began to feel a little guilty, but still, I couldn't be over it yet.

"Why didn't you tell me Kaylee was your ex?"

"I don't know. I mean, I've known her as like a sister for quite some time now, and I guess I just got used to calling her that. But you're right, I should have told you who she was to begin with, and I'm really sorry. I will admit I was wrong about that one. But you have to believe me about Sarah. Really she means inothing/i to me."

To give in, would mean that Danny was right. To not give in would mean that Danny was still right, but I was just too stubborn to admit it. I turned to look at Danny. His eyes were a little glassy with unshed tears. I could tell just by the way he was holding himself that he wasn't lying and that he was afraid that I would reject him again. I contemplated everything he said.

He looked so helpless and I felt my insides ache for me to hold him. Before I could even stop myself I had sprung from my chair and ran to him, throwing my arms around his neck. He wrapped his arms tightly around my waist as I cried in his shoulder. I held on to him so tightly that he had to ask me to loosen up just a bit and I did, laughing slightly. I pulled away to look at him.

"I've missed you so much Tonya. I couldn't stop thinking about you. I swear Dougie Tom and Harry had to threaten me to get me to go on stage with them for our last couple shows. I didn't want to do anything because I didn't have you. I didn't even want to live."

"Oh Danny I missed you too. I love you so much and each day that I spent mad at you just tore me apart inside. I wished every day that I'd wake up and it would all just be a dream."

"Well the dreams over baby, and you can wake up now, because I'm hear and I'm never letting myself lose you again."

"You better not Danny Jones, or I'll have to kill you myself." He laughed and brushed some hair out of my face.

"Did I tell you that you look beautiful tonight?"

I smirked, enjoying how quickly things were returning to normal. "Well you might have, but I wasn't really listening to you most of the night."

He let out a little laugh. "You're right about that." He was silent a few more minutes, just staring down at me. "You do look beautiful tonight. Really. You might hate the color pink, but Eli's right, it doesn't hate you." I laughed and tangled my hands in his hair.

"Danny," I said once I finished laughing.

"What?"

"Shut up and kiss me." He smiled widely at me.

"Gladly." Then he leaned down and placed his lips onto mine forcefully. I willingly accepted and opened my mouth to give his tongue entrance.

McFly

We weren't kissing for very long when the door to the room burst open and in tumbled Asha, Dougie, Gia and Tom. They all fell on the floor and looked up at us grinning.

"I see you two have made up." Tom said as he got to his feet and reached out to help Gia up.

"Yeah, you both looked pretty cozy." She shot us a wide grin as Dougie helped Asha up beside her.

I turned and smiled up at Danny, my arms still wrapped tightly around his neck. He looked down at me and quirked an eyebrow. I turned back to the little spy group and smiled at them, taking Danny's hand in mine.

"Yeah, I guess we have." Each of their eyes lit up and they exchanged high fives between themselves.

"We so have to tell Eli." Asha said looking at Dougie, and he nodded his head in agreement.

I walked towards them, a playful glare in my eyes. "So which one of you came up with this wise idea?" I questioned. The all exchanged looks, then took a step back.

"It was all Eli's idea." Gia nudged Tom in the side.

"Tom! We said we weren't going to rat anyone out!" She shrieked at him. I stopped in front of Tom and continued to glare at them. Then a wide smile broke out on my face and I threw my arms around his neck hugging him tightly.

"I have to go thank her now." I said before I reached behind me, grabbed Danny's hand and brushed past the group to head down stairs.

McFly

As soon as Eli saw us enter the room, she looked down right away to see that we were holding hands. Then she looked up to see what kind of look I had on my face and when she saw that I was happy, she screeched and ran towards us, throwing her arms around my neck in a tight hug. "I swear girl, it's about time." I laughed and hugged her back.

"You and I are going to have to have a little talk when you get back." I whispered in her ear, but she just smirked at me and wrinkled her nose.

"Yeah, sure." She said and then music began again signifying the couples' first dance. "Oh, I have to go." She kissed me on the cheek and stopped to kiss Danny on the cheek to, then rushed off to meet Harry on the dance floor.

Their song 'When You Say Nothing At All' by Alison Kraus began to play and Harry held her close to him. As the music played they stared into one another's eyes. I could see so much love coming from the both of them. It made me happy to see them together.

After a few minutes people started to join them on the floor. Danny turned to me and smiled warmly then offered me his hand. I stared at it a moment then took his hand and followed him to the floor.

He pulled me close to him and this time we danced without fake smiles. I buried my nose in his chest, taking in his sent again and enjoying being in his arms once more. I felt so empty whenever I was away from him, but now being so close to him, I began to feel whole again.

The song ended, but Danny and I still stayed dancing. After a while we pulled apart and joined everyone else at the tables to have a drink and talk. The wedding went on until late in the night with everyone drinking, dancing and having a great time.

Finally it was time for Eli and Harry to head off on their honeymoon. We all gathered around outside their limo as they hugged each of us goodbye. I gave Harry a hug and told him good luck on his honeymoon and secretly handed him a pint of Ben and Jerry's when Eli wasn't looking. He nodded his head appreciatively at me and stuck the ice cream in the limo before Eli could see.

Next Eli came over to me and wrapped her arms around my neck in a tight hug. "You have fun on your honeymoon you hear." I said to her, and she just laughed and winked.

"The real fun begins after the wedding." She said slyly and I just laughed at her. Once all the hugs were over she and Harry got into the limo and closed the door. We all stared after the limo and the 'Just Married' sign laughing and waving at them.

Danny wrapped his arm around my shoulder as Dougie did the same to Asha and Tom to Gia. We stood in the middle of the road and looked after them. We were silent a moment, then Gia spoke breaking us all out of our thoughts.

"Well one down, three to go." We all turned to look at her and laughed slightly. "I hope you guys are ready to start planning another wedding." We looked at her a bit confused. She just smiled widely at our confused faces. "Because Tom and I set a date. We're getting married on August the 14th." I laughed and rolled my eyes.

"It's about time you two set a date. What you've been engaged how long now? Two years?" Danny stated and Tom pulled Gia close to him and laughed as we all headed back to the building.

"Well when we saw Eli's wedding I guess that got us all excited about our own. I mean we have to be getting ours out of the way so that way you and Tonya can get married, then good ol' Doug's and Asha can." Danny, Dougie, Asha and I stopped when he said this and exchanged looks with one another.

"Um mate, I think that we should just wait a while before we go planning any other weddings." Danny said, and Tom and Gia burst out laughing at our faces.

"Yeah, sure, whatever." Tom said and they turned to walk ahead of us in the building.

Danny looked down at me and I looked back up at him. He quirked an eyebrow and looked at me like he was seriously contemplating it.

"Don't even think about it Jones." I said pointing a finger at him. "Let's just get to the half year mark before we even start to think about marriage." He chuckled lightly and kissed me on the top of the head then we followed the rest of the group into the building.
