Jade's POV
"I can't believe it's today. Cat I'm so proud of you and so happy for you." I say fixing her hair. It was up in a nice bun with the veil attached to it. She was in a beautiful long white gown. She looked gorgeous.
"Thank you Jadey…" She says softly looking in the mirror at me.
"You know, you never did tell me what happened a couple of years ago… you know the whole beach thing…" I push trying to get something out.
"He was horrible man. I don't know what was wrong with his head. He was in the Marines. He killed half of his squad. When they brought him into autopsy they said he was on high doses of heroine, oxycontin, and codeine cough syrup. They said that if he wasn't shot he would have died that week of ODing. He was on way too much." She explain quietly.
I look at her waiting for her to finish but she was done. "Cat, you were so brave that day. He risked your life."
"Yea. Jadey? Today's my wedding. I'm 24. I'm pregnant. I have my prince charming waiting in there for me, and I have my sister right next to me. What's gonna happen when we both grow up. When I have my child, when you and Beck het married and have kids? Are we still going to like we are now?" She just stares at me.
"I would love to tell you nothing will ever change. I would love to tell you that in 30 years we will still be best friend. But honestly, I can't. We may stay like this forever, or we may change. We may stop talking because we are always busy or because one of us move out of California. The only thing I know is that no matter where we are, were only a phone call away. We will tell our kids about each other and never forget what we all went through." I pause. Tears start to form in my eyes. "The memories will never be forgotten. The laughs and jokes will stay with us forever. Now listen to me. Today is your wedding. Today is the day you will never forget. Let's make it memorable for both f us. If this turns out to be one of the last times we actually talk and be together, then let's make it amazing. I love you Kitty Cat." I give her a big hug.
"I have never know someone as amazing as you Jade. Someone who is there no matter what. Someone who will be there even though she has her own problems. You saw all of my flaws but you didn't hold them against me. You didn't look down on me. You valued them as much as my strengths. Thank you…" She give me a hug and I know it's time for me to go.
In a couple of minutes, my best friend will be walking down the aisle to her fiancé. In a few more months, she will have her own child. High school was great. College was amazing. That summer in between was hard but it's something we won't forget.
I walk down the aisle and up onto the alter and move to the side. The organist starts to play and the doors swing open. Out comes a beautiful brunette in a white gown with a huge smile on her face.
This will be something we all will never forget…
Cat's POV
The after party was amazing so far. We all sat around sharing stories of the high school days. How Robbie and I fell in love. Robbie told everyone how he felt when he first saw me. How he promised my mother he would marry me.
We continue to talk for a little while when I stand up and grab a glass and a spoon. I hit the glass a couple times until everyone is quiet. "Thanks for coming. You all mean so much to me. Tonight has been amazing! If you don't mind, I have a few words to say."
I clear my throat and look around at everyone sitting around. All eyes were on me but I wasn't nervous. I knew exactly what I had to say… Make it memorable Cat…
"When we were kids we wanted to be princesses and astronauts. When we grew up a little, we wanted to be beauticians and firefighters. By the time high school came, we set our goals and started to follow our dreams. But the future is unpredictable. You don't know who you will keep in touch with, or where we will end up. When we were kids did we really want to be what we are now? Everyone wants that perfect relationship or perfect life, like the ones in the movies. People get upset because it's never the same. But who says you can't pick up a pen and write your own. Once you can stop hiding from the truth and get past the movie prince charmings and lives, you will find what you want and who you love and write your own fairy tale… So here's to a future of your own. The one you will write and make up yourself. All it takes is a few great people and some amazing memories to live your life the way you want. Here's to writing your own fairytale…" I look at Jade whose eyes are watery. A tear falls down her face. I looked at her the entire time. She is the one who taught me everything. She changed my life and made everything better.
Robbie looks over at her and then at me. Everyone picks up their glasses and raises them as I do the same. All at once we say, "Here's to writing you own fairytale…" People take a sip and put their glasses down. We go back to our conversations and sharing stories. Robbie and I get up and walk around and talk to some of our family members.
After the night ended the gang stayed back to help clean up a little. I look over to Robbie and he looks at me. I pick up a piece of half eaten cake and take a finger full of icing. I walk over to him and smear it all over his face. He takes a plate and wipes some on my cheek. I start to laugh and walk over to him. He leans down and kisses me lightly.
"I love you…" I say to him.
He grabs my hands and pulls them to his chest. "I love you too."
A/N Time!
Ok so thank you so much for reading. Your reviews and ideas were amazing. I did use some of them but I twisted them to make them my own. I took some of the things you gave me and used the complete opposite to make it a little bit more irritating. Sometimes you have to piss the reader off to get some emotion out. That's what every writer wants… to see that they can bring out feelings and memories and connect with their readers. It's great when you get a review of someone cursing you off for not making a happy ending or not having it end the way they want. Honestly I love stories that have an unpredictable ending… I made this happy because it's Cabbie… All Cabbie stories have to have a happy ending… except for one of Ariana4Ever and Flamekats stories… they should know which one I'm talking about.
But really, thank you! This was one of the best stories I have ever written (on FF and off of it). The way you all reacted to each chapter and the different characters I got to write for. I mean seriously what can be better than writing as an insane psychopath with drug and alcohol problems! Come on!
Morecupcakesplz, sshaw101, and Sofia13 have some awesome stories too! Then my other readers, with their great review, are amazing. Sorry if I forgot anyone but I just quickly went through my review looking for people. I have read some of, all of your stories, and they are great!
Ok well I'm coming up with some ideas for some stories so there should be a new one soon. But until then go read some other people's stuff. KnowMyNameNotMyStory is amazing! Flamekat is awesome! Ariana4Ever is going to kill me for saying it but she is truly amazing at writing plus she's one of my greatest friends.
Thanks!
