Taylor had this worried look on her face, I wasn't sure what made John want to see me.
"Do you think he doesn't want to get married?" I asked.
She shrugged her shoulders, "I'm not sure."
I looked inside my house at the crowd of people all enjoying, themselves inside. "I need to just go without anyone knowing."
"We'll just tell them you've gone to take photos somewhere" said Taylor.
"Alright, that sounds believable."
Taylor and I walked around to the front of my house, through the side gate. Alexandra, Phil and Adele were standing out the front.
"Is everything alright, Lea?" asked Adele.
"I need to see John" I said. "Could you guys just tell my Dad and everyone inside that I've gone to take some professional photos."
"Sure" said Alexandra.
"Thank you" I said sitting in Taylor's car.
"I hope everything is ok" said Adele, Phil putting his arm around her as they approached the car window.
"I don't know, I hope he's alright" I said, "I'll be back soon."
They nodded.
…..
Taylor drove up to Cody's house, it was empty. It looked as though no one was here; we walked up the stair where I saw John sitting on his bed, just dressed in his track suit pants. Taylor waited outside, while I walked inside. "John?"
He looked at me in awe, getting up off the bed and standing in front of me.
I smiled, "Don't you want to get married?"
"I want to get married, but I don't think you do?" he said.
"I'm already dressed, you're not."
"You may have put on a dress, but that doesn't mean that you want to get married."
"What are you talking about? I want to get married."
He sighed, "stop lying to me Lea, you may have in the beginning… but now not so much."
I lowered my head; I guess I really didn't want to get married to him. I was more in love with the idea of it.
He cupped my face in his hand, tears trailing down my face. "You may have just realised it now, but you're not in love with me. I have a feeling that guy has been the one who's always been in your life, I mean that's why you kissed him right?"
"I'm so sorry John" I said, "I still care about you."
He smirked, "I'm sure you do, but ever since I got here I feel like I'm playing the villain in someone else's love story. I feel like I was never supposed to have you, you were always someone else'. I just want you to know that I love you very much but as much as I do, this wedding can't happen. I will never make you as happy as he does."
I hugged him tightly, "I hope we can still be friends, you let me feel happy again. I found my smile after meeting you. I wouldn't be able to live without you in my life."
He pulled away, "It's going to be a little hard seeing you again and it's going to be hard to see you with someone else."
"So this is the last time, I'll see you?"
"I'm sure we'll see each other soon, just… I hope the guy I'm talking about isn't the same guy that you're in love with" said John.
"Sorry?"
"You could do a lot better than Randy, I think he doesn't realise that childish tactics like telling me about how you two shared a moment, isn't the way to someone's heart" he said.
"Randy… just needs someone who understands him" I said.
"Are you that someone?"
"I don't know, maybe…. I am."
"I hope not" said John turning away from me.
"John… I do wish that we could still be friends. You seemed to be the only person I could always count on, always loyal… something I seemed to lose."
"Maybe" he said coldly.
I knew there was no point in me staying here, I had no right. We weren't together anymore, the wedding was off. But I wasn't as upset as maybe I should have been, I was slightly happy. I could was free to be with the man I knew was the one for me.
….
I walked outside and Taylor had a long look on her face, I smiled at her.
"I heard everything."
"Hey, just because John and I aren't together, doesn't mean we can't still be friends" I said.
She smiled, "It won't be the same without you."
"We'll still hang out" I said, "It won't be the last time I see you."
She smiled, "I guess that's why he told everyone not to come. Matt and I came because we just had to see what happened with him."
"John is a great guy, someone who truly deserves someone better than me and I'm sure he'll find her" I said.
Taylor and I were interrupted by Phil and Adele who walked in hand in hand, following them was Alexandra.
"Everyone was getting a little worried, that you were taking so long" said Adele.
"Is everything alright?" said Phil.
I sighed, "The wedding is off."
"What!" yelled Adele, "What happened?"
"John and I know that it wasn't really going to work out between us, but I need to see Randy" I said.
"Randy? Lea are you sure?" asked Adele.
"I'm sure, is it alright if I borrow the car?" I asked.
"You can borrow mine" said Alexandra.
"Thank you" I said taking the keys of her, "I'll bring it back to my house."
"Take your time" she said.
….
I drove up to Randy's house, he's car was parked in the driveway so I knew he was home. I walked up to the door, sighing as I knocked. Randy had a grin on his face as he opened the door, the look of glee on his face as he looked at me still in my wedding dress. "You couldn't do it, could you?"
"No... John called it off."
"He did? Why? What happened?" he asked, look of confusion was written on his face.
"What happened?" I said storming inside. "You happened? You told him about you and me?"
Randy looked at me confused "Lea, I assure you I didn't tell him."
"What? John told me that you told him that we kissed. Why would he lie?"
"Maybe he knew that he wasn't the one for you" he said putting his hands on my waist. "You have no idea how happy I am to see you here."
I shook my head, moving away from his grasp "I'm sure you are."
"Lea, the person you say you were in love with just called off your wedding, so why are you here?" he asked.
"Randy, you have been my best friend my entire life, if my fiancé well... ex fiancé called off my wedding, wouldn't it make sense for me to come to you."
"Of course we're best friends, but you and I are different to other best friends" he said smirking.
"Yes, we probably aren't the same as normal best friends; I mean we've crossed the boundaries so many times... I wouldn't know what to call our relationship."
"It's because we're different, we're in love" he said.
"I was in love, crazy in love... with you and I think even when I was with John I still wasn't totally over you. But life happened and I met all these wonderful people, this new faces that felt like a new family for me. But then I came back here and I just couldn't get you out of my head until..."
"Until what?" he asked, his blue eyes locked on to mine. "What is it really that you came to say Lea?"
"I came to tell you that I know John wasn't the one for me, but it's not you either."
