What has happened to us?
Chapter 14:
Loren's POV:
What does the word "love" mean? This word could mean a lot but let me tell you what I think it means. Love means an intense feeling of deep affection. But is it worth loving someone when you might get hurt. I don't think it is. How would you really know if love is something that you feel for someone when all you do is cry and be mad at everyone else because the person that you thought loved you broke your heart. You know what I think love means love means passion but also hurt and pain. Is it worth fighting for someone when you get hurt or when you fall. No it isn't. Sometimes it is but not all the time. What my mom has with Max is something truly special, I can tell whenever he looks at her he lights up even if he just saw her two minutes ago. My mom adores Max she looks at him like everyone use to say I look at Eddie which was passion, lust, and love. I thought they were all crazy until one day I saw how I did look at him it was those three simple little words. But in my case those three simple little words went to two little words which were rage and unprotected. But today is not a day for tears…. Oh maybe a little bit of tears but also happiness for the soon to be married couple. *putting down my guitar I hear a little knock at the door*
Loren: Come in.
Melissa: Hey Lo.
Loren: Now were speaking. *curious*
Melissa: No but this is your mother's wedding and we need to put all the negativity behind us and move on.
Loren: Good and I'm glad you came I wanted to tell you something.
Melissa: What?
Loren: I wanted to say I was sorry for what I said to you.
Melissa: its ok it is in the pass.
Loren: No it is not ok I said some hurtful stuff and I am going to make it up to you.
Melissa: Lo we always fight, we might say some hurtful things but we never mean it.
Loren: But we don't fight like that.
Melissa: Well then let's make a deal.
Loren: What kind of deal?
Melissa: Never to fight like we did last night.
Loren: I can keep that deal.
Melissa: Good.
Loren: So let's go down to my mom's room so we can see if she up.
Melissa: Ok.
*At Nora's door knocking (They are at a hotel by the way the guys are at the bungalow)*
Nora: Come in. *yelling*
Adriana: Hey guys.
Loren: You beat us to the punch.
Adriana: What do you mean?
Melissa: We were coming to see if Nora was awake and when we came you were already here.
Adriana: Oh ok.
Loren: So…is the stylist here yet.
Adriana: Yeah he is in the other room and the makeup artist is with him over in that corner.
Nora: We were just waiting for you.
Melissa: Oh ok. Where is Chloe?
Nora: I don't know and frankly I don't care.
Loren: So are you ready to get married.
Nora: Is that even a question….of course I'm ready to get married.
Loren: Well good because you are first to get your hair done.
Nora: Ok going in the seat.
Loren: I will be right back I have to call someone.
Nora: Ok.
*Outside in the hallway*
Loren: Come on, pick up. *rambling to herself*
Cameron: Hello…
Loren: Cameron please don't hang up.
Cameron: Gotcha…this is Cameron give me a call after the beep.
*Beep*
Loren: I see that you still are not answering your phone again…I just wanted to say I'm sorry for whatever I did to you if you need to talk, call me but not during the wedding if you still want to come the offer still stands just please call me. *hanging up the phone*
Loren: *Talking to herself* I have to call the wedding planner.
*Ranging*
Anne: Hello.
Loren: Hey Anne are you at the bungalow.
Anne: Yeah everything is set in place the canopy, the stage, the food, and the wedding cake.
Loren: Ok so do you have the transportation ready.
Anne: Yes I do once they get in the car the driver will drive them to the airport and they will get in there private jet and the pilot will send them to their honeymoon destination.
Loren: Ok good.
Anne: I think you will be very please.
Loren: Thank you so much I will see you when I get there.
Anne: Ok.
Loren: Oh, I more thing.
Anne: Yes.
Loren: Are the guys up.
Anne: Uh, yeah they are playing football on the beach.
Loren: Ok great thank you again.
Anne: It's my job but you're welcome.
*Hanging up*
Nora: Is everything ok.
Loren: Yeah the wedding is set and I hope you like it.
Nora: I wasn't talking about the wedding I was talking about you.
Loren: Oh, yeah I'm fine. *trying to put on a convincing smile*
*Nora saw right through it but left it alone*
Nora: Ok Mel and Aid are already done with makeup and hair; just tell him what you want he will do it.
Loren: Ok.
*Going to the back*
Loren: Hi.
Hair stylist: *In an accent* Hello what would you like today.
Loren: I was thinking that I could have it in curls but with a bump at the top.
Hair stylist: Ok.
*After the guy was finished Loren went to the make-up artist and she told him what she wanted and he did it. Her makeup was really light on her eyes with a pink gloss on her lips and mascara with a hint of blush. Nora's makeup was a light smoky eye with clear lip gloss and mascara she looked really beautiful. Melissa was not that over the top she exactly surprised me she had on red lip stick with a hint lip gloss on and a light dark color on her eyes with mascara. Adriana had on a rosy lip color and grayish-greenish smoky-eye and a pink rosy color blush with mascara. Nora had her hair as a romantic loose updo. Mel had hers in a wavy hairstyle and Aid had hers in a waterfall braid but her hair was straight. After I finished getting my hair done we put on our dresses. Nora had on a strapless embroidered lace trumpet gown with blue 'veil' shoes. Loren, Mel, and Aid had on the cute sweet heart dress. With different shoes there accessories were not that much just some studs and a really cute ring and Loren wore her necklace that she and her mom both have. When they all got downstairs they saw Chloe waiting for them at the car. And of course she always had to say something. Her hair was long and curled with light makeup and pink lip gloss on*
Chloe: It took you guys long enough.
Loren: Thank you Chloe, you look nice I know I do to. *smirking knowing she got to her*
*Chloe just gave her a glare*
Nora: Come in get in the car so I can get married.
*Everyone stayed silent for Nora's stake so she could practice her vowel for Max. Once they got there they already saw that most of the people were there filling the seats. Nora didn't want anyone to see her so she went in the bathroom close to the door so no one knew she was there. Loren had to go and find the guys so she told Mel to go and find Ian and Eddie. While she told Chloe and Aid to do something productive instead of fighting*
Melissa: Ok. *leaving to go and find them*
Loren: Ok Chloe can you go see if the wedding planner has everything set.
Chloe: No, I think I will go and get something to drink. *walking away*
Loren: Such a bitch *saying in her head* Aid can you please.
Adriana: Sure do you know where she is?
Loren: She is over by the canopy and thank you.
Adriana: No problem. *leaving*
*Loren went Max's room to see him on the bed with his hands on his face*
Loren: Hey there.
Max: *Looking up* hey Loren you look beautiful.
Loren: Thank you; you look handsome are you ready.
Max: To be honest with you I am scared out of my life.
Loren: Why?
Max: Because I have been married already before I just don't want thing to turn out the way they did with your mom.
Loren: *Going over to him and sitting down on the bed* you can't blame yourself for what happen.
Max: I don't blame myself I'm just scared.
Loren: You love my mom, right. *looking in his eyes*
Max: So much I wouldn't be able to live with myself if something to happen to her.
Loren: Well good, don't think about the future or the past think about the present because you have people that are outside waiting for you to walk done the aisle and marry someone that you are truly in love with.
Max: Thank you Loren.
Loren: For what all I did was tell the truth.
Max: No, well yes but you told me what I needed to hear.
Loren: You're welcome Max. Now come on you are about to marry my mom in about two minutes.
Max: Ok wish me luck.
Loren: You don't need luck you already have it. *giving him a hug*
Max: I can't wait to call you my daughter. *giving back the hug and pulling away*
Loren: *Fanning her eyes so she doesn't ruin her makeup* you're going to make me cry.
Max: Well it's true. *walking away and going down stairs*
*Once Max got down to the aisle he shook the preacher's hand in the back ground the band was playing I am for you. Nora was at the door waiting for her dad to walk her done, once all the girls went then the guys she knew it was her time to walk. When she walked down to that corner she saw everyone stand and then she saw her soon to be husband he smiling his million dollar smile that she loved. Once her dad kissed her on the cheek he went to shake Max's hand and sat done. The preacher raised his hands and lowered them so everyone can sit and start the wedding*
Preacher: We are gathered here today to celebrate this man and woman to holy matrimony. Marriage is a symbol of which you show your love to one another to show that even if someone goes down you will be able to pick them back up by showing how much you care. Would the groom like to say his vowels first or would the bride?
Max: I will like to go first.
Preacher: You may.
Max: There is so much that I want to say in so little time. I will start with the basics first then go on from there. When I first laid eyes on you took my breath away. You never once said anything to make me mad at you. You have always been there for me whenever there has been a rough time. I still remember you telling me about "how you put tears in a bottle and gave it to me" but I never got it. *everyone laughed in the back ground* But I wish I have gotten it because I would have sent a thank you letter saying "that I got your tears because of a song". I know you would never replace Katy but I also know that you would be a great mom to my son. I love you with all my heart and I hope that we can spend an eternity together.
Preacher: Ok your turn Ms. Tate.
Nora: First off I love you to Max and I always will it doesn't matter where I am. I know you will be a great father figure to Loren. When you smile I get butterflies when you walk into the room I just have to smile because you brighten up my day whenever you can. I love how you don't see any downsides to anything unless it is about a football game or basketball game. You can always count on me because I will always be there for you. I promise with all my life that nothing and I mean nothing will ever happen to us because I love you with all my heart. *smiling*
Preacher: May I please have the rings.
*The little boy came out of his seat and gave the rings to Max and Nora*
Preacher: Please repeat after me. *looking down at his book* I thee
Both: I thee…
Preacher: Take this…
Both: Take this…
Preacher: Ring and cherish it forever…
Both: Ring and cherish it forever…
Preacher: In sickness or health…
Both: In sickness or health…
Preacher: I promise never to hurt the one I love in any way possible…
Both: I promise never to hurt the one I love in any way possible.
Preacher: *Closing his book* Mr. Duran I am proud to announce your new wife you may kiss the bride.
*Max did has he was told he could wait to feel her lips up against his. After they were finish kissing he heard everyone clapping and saw everyone standing up. He went down the aisle to the canopy. Once they got there everyone thought it was beautiful Loren really did out do herself. She made this wedding spectacular. Everyone was having a great time and now it was time to cut the cake. After Max and Nora cut the cake together everyone laughed because she put cake all over his mouth and a little bit was on his nose. Max wanted to do the same but she ran away from him. After about fifteen minutes it was time for the father daughter dance the band said "sorry to interrupt but it is time for the father daughter dance so if you have a daughter please grab her hand and ask her to dance." Nora took her father's hand and started dancing. Loren has never seen her this happy around anyone the way she does around Max. *breaking her from her train of thoughts she saw Max's hand in front of her, she laughed and took his hand in the background the band played "How to build a home cinematic orchestra." After the song was over everyone had gone to sit down and then it was time for Max and Nora to dance there song was "This time" by John Legend. Once that song was over the band said "they were going to go and take a break and if anyone would like to say something they could." So Loren went first since she didn't see anyone get up*
Loren: Hi guys before I say something to the happy couple I would like to sing them a song…if that is ok with the couple.
*Loren saw Max and Nora nod their head in improvement*
Loren: Ok so this song is called "Some Say Love." *going to the piano*
Some say love, it is a river
That drowns the tender reed
Some say love, it is a razor
That leaves your soul to bleed
Some say love, it is a hunger
An endless aching need
I say love, it is a flower
And you it's only seed
It's the heart afraid of breaking
That never learns to dance
It's the dream afraid of waking
That never takes the chance
It's the one, who won't be taken,
Who cannot seem to give
And the soul afraid of dying
That never learns to live
And the night has been too lonely
And the road has been too long
And you think that love is only
For the lucky and the strong
Just remember in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snow
Lies the seed that with the sun's love,
In the spring, becomes a rose.
*After the song was finished everyone stood and clapped after the clapping went away she started to talk*
Loren: I just wanted to congratulate the happy couple, to new times and sometimes bad but I know you to will get through all of it. I also want to say thank you to Max because I have never seen my mom glow has much has she does when you are around her. I'm glad that you joined our family and thank you again. *raising her glass* to the happy couple. *everyone did as told*
*After a few people went up to say something the wedding was coming to an end. But there was one last thing and that was to throw the bouquet. I didn't want to join but Mel made me I didn't try very hard so I just kept my arms down and waited until it was over. I heard someone scream and then I saw that Aid was holding the flowers me and my mom went up to hug her. After that was over everyone went outside to say good bye to the couple my mom gave me a hug and Max gave me one then went to Eddie. He looked at me like he wanted to say something but I turned my head and walked down to the canopy to see if Anne needed me to do anything. I was really trying to avoid an argument with Eddie so I wanted to keep my hands busy*
The wedding and the drama is over for now. Thank you for liking the outfits that I picked out the next chapter will be about someone coming back into town and he or she is becoming a singer…hint…hint…hint. I also hope you check out the songs they are really good. So leave me a review and tell who you think is coming.
From always,
