When lunch came around the members of the original misfits didn't know what to do, they didn't know whether to sit in their old area of the stands in the sports fields or go separate ways to avoid conflict, Paige by now had stop crying but refused more than ever to talk to Emma, even when she tried to speak to her. It was becoming ever more obvious to those who knew them that this wasn't going to be solved as easily as they may have hoped. But it wasn't all for nothing, Dean had finally accepted he couldn't have done anything to stop what happened, that it was Summer's choice, that it was her decision that lead to what happened between the pair.
"Before we decide what we are going to do, in terms of what we're doing for lunch. I do have one or two questions for Summer and Dolph" suddenly said Bayley, she wanted to know why Summer had lied about telling her, and what happened to the budding relationship between Dolph and Kaitlyn, there was something there, she had watched the graduation video over hundreds of time and seen how the pair looked at each other. When Summer and Dolph motioned for her to continue, she smiled slightly then looked down at her hands. "Dolph what happened to the romance budding between you and Kaitlyn and Summer why did you lie to the others about telling me about the end of your last relationship?" asked Bayley looking at them but not liking what she was seeing.
"There wasn't anything between me and Kaitlyn, we were just friends I asked her to the prom she said yes, then we all spent the day together end of" said Dolph in reply to the question, that hadn't been the first time he had been asked that question, Roman had asked it, as had Adrian, Sami, Dean, even Paige and AJ had asked, they all saw something there even if he didn't want to admit it was there, he knew Kaitlyn loved him by the way she screamed at him when he said he was in love and going to be with Summer.
"I thought it would best if you didn't know, plus it had nothing to do with you, I mean you were with us for one night and the following day, that doesn't count as being part of the group honey, so you didn't have a right to know, at least not it my eyes" said Summer, smiling as tears began to appear in Bayley's eyes, it was like she had the intention of doing that like she never cared about the others around as long as she got it her way. The others except Dolph looked at her gob-smacked where as Paige and AJ went over to Bayley, both hugging her, unable to believe this is what it had come to.
"Alright that's it" suddenly said Randy, he didn't know what to think right now and was wondering if this is what Dean had gone through, this attitude, if it was then he felt for the guy he really did. "Look around you, all of you, we are some of the misfits, a group that stood for being different, yet we are falling apart, Paige look at yourself, I can understand that you're hurt but that doesn't say why you're ignoring Emma, Summer for once stop thinking about yourself we stood by you even when you were being bitchy, but you're an adult now so act your age. As for you Dolph sit up and look what is happening around instead of about what you want, and Seth, Paige she trusted you more than any of us, she gave you her love and heart, yet you torn it apart, broke her because of you're own actions, and Dean well you just did what any guy would" said Randy making them look at what was becoming of them, they were breaking down in front of his eyes.
"Bitchy, you think I was being bitchy" said Summer, eyes filling with fury as she looked at Randy as he nodded, he wasn't afraid of Summer, out of all the girls of the Group the only ones he wouldn't annoy were Paige since she had one hell of a temper on her and AJ since she had some wicked mind games up her sleeve when she was angry. "I put up with all of you guys for three almost four years, I was one of the popular girls, but pretended to leave them to help Steph, this is how I always was, you just didn't see it" shouted Summer revealing that she had never left being Stephanie's follower that she was just working with them to try and work out how to bring them down. "You think I could be friends with some blond bimbo like Emma, or Gothic vampire like Paige, an old fashioned wannabe like Layla or a mentally unstable smurf like AJ, I knew who my real friends were and just like my relationship with Dean my friendship with them was fake" again added Summer before storming off, Dolph following behind her, which only made them more curious if he knew and never told anyone or worse he was part of it too.
"Just for future reference sake, AJ isn't that unstable, Emma you're not a bimbo and Layla has her own fashion sense" said Paige, speaking to Emma for the first time since she and Seth split and she found out about the entire relationship between the two. Emma smiled at Paige, she had tears in her eyes like Bayley did, but not ones of sadness but happiness, that although everything that had just happened, Paige and Emma were finally talking again.
"You're talking to me" said Emma, smiling through her tears and accepting the hug that Paige was offering her. Seth and Dean stood by with Randy, Roman, Punk and Adrian watching the girls, with Bayley, Finn and AJ opposite them. At this point Emma was to shocked by what had happened and what was happening to say anything she didn't want to ruin the moment or do anything that could cause Paige to change her mind, although she knew that once the pale Brit had made her mind up there was a small chance she would actually change it again.
"Yes Emma, Randy is right, yes you betrayed my trust but you weren't the one who hurt me the most, that was Seth, I just didn't know how to act so I took it out on the both of you. I know that it wasn't the best but it is my way of dealing with it. As for Seth, I may never trust you the way I once did, and we may have broken up on bad terms but I still wants to be friends with you. I lost you once, I don't want to lose you again, I don't want to lose either of you again" explained Paige, showing that she wouldn't eventually get over her heart break.
"So can we go get lunch" said Finn looking over the group, he smiled as he noticed how Dean had appeared behind Paige, looking at her with love and in a protective way, like he was her shield against the world that wanted to hurt her. He smiled at Bayley then at the others as they all agreed with his question, he now understood why Bayley had wanted to start another group like them, they had something that needed to be remembered, that every year in the school should have.
"The sports field stands?" said Adrian, he knew that the group was dissolving, but he also knew that eventually they would get over their troubles, Summer and Dolph would eventually have to explain what they had done, Paige and Seth would eventually patch things up and the group would help each other over their problems and become stronger. The small group agreed and headed over to their old spot, spotting Summer and Dolph had joined with John Cena and were talking about different inaudible things.
The rest of the day went by rather uneventfully. When they left, Punk took Dean, Roman, Seth, Randy and Adrian with him, while AJ took Emma and Paige with her, taking them to the bridal store ready for their fitting, since it was the day where they were doing he dress fittings. She didn't want any drama at her wedding as she was sure that Punk was the same so they had agreed earlier in the day that it would be best that Summer and Dolph not come, although it would break their hearts for their not to be there at such a special occasion.
"AJ?" suddenly said Paige from her seat on the small sofa she was sitting on while waiting for the dresses to be brought to them. When AJ looked around to her, she smiled. "Summer was one of your brides maids, if you don't want her there, then why not ask Bayley to be your fourth one?" asked Paige, actually making sense, since the bill was for a wedding dress and four bridesmaid dresses, Layla had joined them and was smiling away to herself, she had been told of all the drama with Summer and Dolph by Emma, hence why she seemed so quiet as she was processing what to say.
"You know, I think that would work, Punk has Dean, Roman, Seth and Randy as his grooms men. It is just arranging who she and Layla will dance with, it was originally going to be Dean and Summer and then You and Seth, but that has changed now to You and Dean, Seth and Emma. Call Bayley and ask her to meet us here" said AJ in reply her normal smile on her features as she started to text her husband to be and ask him a question regarding two of his grooms men.
"Hey Bayley" said Paige down the phone, a small smile on her painted lips, "I'm good thank, you?", "Anyway AJ asked if you could be a CC's Bridal Boutique in about 20 minutes, she was wondering is you would be her fourth Bridesmaid" said Paige passing on AJ's message and smiling when listening to Bayley practically scream that she was on her way. She had to hold the phone away from her ear, even Emma, Layla and AJ looked around at her phone when they heard the screaming, smiling at what they were hearing as they could tell it was Bayley's excited laughs.
"She coming?" asked Emma, laughing slightly, when Paige nodded, "So if she is anything like our maid of honour or the bride then she will turn a fifteen minute journey in to a five minute on, dodge all red lights and evade all police to get here" added Emma, remembering what AJ was like when she was running late to view a venue, she hadn't wanted to do that again, as they sped around the corners almost tipping the car over, and ran every red light there, lucky for AJ the police officer to pull them over was Roman's cousin who smiled and let her go with a warning.
"If she does get pulled over, I'm sure she talk herself out of it like you did" said Layla, remembering the time when Emma was almost arrested for speeding, and not actually being on the road but on a field when she was, it wasn't the best but her sweet smile and innocent looks got her out of it.
"I'm going to alert traffic control" suddenly said Paige, in a joking manner, she always found it funny, how they could joke about that kind of stuff, Roman had almost had a heart attack when she was driving from one arena with them, she was going so fast that they had cut the journey time in half, that was with stopping for food, drink and bathroom use. After that Roman had sworn he would never let her drive again, as he would actually like to see his girlfriend again. Seth had been holding on tightly the whole journey where as Dean was smiling away to himself, wondering how they had not got pulled over, or even caused an accident, he had congratulated her before Roman went into adult mode and put Paige in the back with Dean, taking the wheel and going at the safest speed without going to slow.
About ten minutes later, Bayley arrived at the store practically bouncing through the doors and hugging all three girls but hugging Layla the longest. A young blond woman with neutral make up and her hair tide back, and in a smart black dress with healed shoes on, walked up to them with a small smile. She asked for AJ saying that her dress was ready and asked for the names of the four bridesmaids.
"Err the maid of honour is Paige, the raven haired one, then Layla in the sparkly pink dress, Emma the blond one and Bayley the bubbly one are my other three maids, do you have the dresses I ordered ready?" answered and asked AJ, smiling at what their reactions could be, she loved how the dresses would suit all of them down to the ground, but now she thinks about it she was sure that Summer would have complained about her choice and tried to change her mind, saying that it wasn't suitable for them that she could choice one of the dresses that she herself would rather where.
It wasn't long before all five girls were following behind the young lady that worked there, Becca her name badge read, she point them to their respected changing rooms, saying that the bridesmaids would find their dresses in their while the bride would have to wait for hers to be brought to her. Since they were currently finding the order. While AJ was waiting she started to think, about the future, how it would be if her friends were to tie the knot with the person they loved more than anything. She could imagine Layla tying the knot with Justin sooner or later, they had been together the longest and had lived together for a fair time in their own apartment, Emma and Seth although it was a shock how it was revealed they were together, are a sweet couple as were the insane couple of Paige and Dean she could imagine a few unusual ways for those two to tie the knot.
"Have any of you ever thought about tying the knot?" asked AJ, wondering how the girls were doing and what they were think of the dress they would be wearing. It wasn't long before Paige walked out of the changing room, with the dress on, the dress started of as black then turned to a midnight blue towards the end, it was in the style of one shoulder, with a small diametie pattern on the side and on the shoulder. The dress was floor length and complemented her figure. "Paige you look really beautiful" said AJ, looking at her close friend standing before her, it reminded her of the first time she seen Paige in her prom dress, she looked as stunning now as she did then.
"Thank you and to your question, I never really thought about it, if Dean asked then I would say yes but after that, not to sure. I would think about it when the time comes" said Paige in reply to both the compliment and the question AJ had asked earlier. The last time Paige had warn a dress was at the Hall of Fame but even then she had her Doc Martins on under the dress. It wasn't long before Emma, Layla and Bayley come out of their changing rooms also, revealing the dresses looked as good on them as it did on Paige, AJ smiled happy she had picked out the right dress, she thought she would have to go through several to find the right dress.
"If Justin ever proposed then we agreed to marry back home in England, then go somewhere we both want to go for the honeymoon" said Layla, adding to the conversation, she loved talking weddings, but never really thought she would be ready to marry, she loved Justin and would say yes to marrying him but getting married would be something they both had to be ready for. Bayley didn't know what to say to that as she hadn't come across her prefect man yet, Emma was unsure of how to answer that as she still didn't know how to react around Paige.
"I think Emma and Seth would make a good married couple" said Paige, smiling at Emma and the rest of her friends, that smile soon faded when she and the others spotted Summer exiting a car with Dolph in tow, just at that time, Becca returned with a white dress, she complimented the four girls, and lead AJ into a changing room so she could try on her dress and show the four girls what she looked like in her one dress. The four girls sat on the sofas provided waiting and chatting amongst themselves, they didn't take much notice when Summer and Dolph actually walked into the shop.
"I'm here for a dress fitting, I'm one of the four bridesmaids for Miss Lee" said Summer to the receptionist, the woman looked at the file she had before and looked at Summer then back at her screen before carrying on looking for what the customer before her was asking. Summer's smile hadn't faded but she did look over to Dolph a smirk on his features was soon matched by her own.
"I'm sorry ma'am but Miss Lee already has her four bridesmaids, thrust I can not do anything for your request, is there anything else I can help you with?" explained the receptionist, she appeared to be calm in this situation but her body language suggested she was ready to call a manager or someone in high position if anything was to happen, and if Summer's or even Dolph's expression was anything to go by then it was likely that something would happen.
"Oh there must be some mistake, as I am one of them, so unless something has changed then I am still one of them" said Summer in response, she was yet to notice the four in the seating area still quietly talking amongst themselves, the boys were next door in the Tampa Grooms Tux's and occasions rental. They were having their own little conversations but had also noticed Summer and Dolph arrive.
"This woman has to be one of Miss Lee bridesmaids, I mean she is the prettiest one, and she should be the maid of honour, instead of the English Vampire she chose" added Dolph, Adrian came in at the moment Dolph insulted Paige, seeing the look of her face he sent her a warning look which she nodded to, where as the receptionist looked on.
"Sorry miss, your computer is correct Summer here's isn't one of the bridesmaids, but thank you for checking, it was a mistake on her half" said Adrian, smiling at the woman and watching her walk to the back, Randy had sent Adrian around to the girls as he didn't want Summer to start anything from earlier, least of all in the bridal store. When Adrian turned around he was met with girm looks from both Dolph and Summer, it was at that moment that the pair noticed the four girls.
"You, it wasn't enough that you spent one night with us, and the day at the theme park, that you had to take my chance at shining above everyone. The misfits are breaking up because of you" said Summer almost shouting, with every word she took a step closer to Bayley, to her surprise the younger girl didn't take a step back or even flinch, instead she stood her ground and waited for whatever Summer would throw at her.
"I didn't do anything but be there for the people that I call friends, you turned you back on people who trusted you, and you hurt someone who would have given their life for you, I have faith that the rest of the misfits will get through this and still be as strong as they I know they are without you" replied Bayley, she was starting to let out her pent up anger and frustration from earlier in the day, she wanted everything to be like it was when she seen them again, but instead she ended up with couples changing, Summer lying, Dolph well who knew with him and bad feelings between several members.
"Guys what do you think?" asked AJ coming out her changing room in a strapless dress, she looked over to where Adrian was smiling at him and then glanced quickly at Summer and Dolph she knew why the pair was there and had already figured that one of the boys had sent Adrian when they seen the pair arrive. "Summer you can stay if you want but after how you acted earlier Bayley is going to be my bridesmaid, Dolph if you want to be near then go to the guys, all of them are around there except Adrian who is here and Sami who is outside" added AJ explaining that no one was going to be kicking off, they had had enough drama for one day.
Summer just gave AJ, Paige, Emma, and Layla a dirty, she walked over to Bayley clearly not happy with the arrangement. "This is your fault" she practically shouted before pushing past Adrian and storming out the store, shortly followed by Dolph, there was a crash shortly after the door slammed shut which gained the girls attention and Adrian who was holding his right shoulder attention also. All six of them could only assume the boys either didn't hear it or had and were now curious of the cause of it.
