Chapter 12 – A mistake to correct.

No one's POV

Jade was sitting at the vanity, putting some final touches on her make up, thinking about all the wonderful things she'd do with and to Tori on their honeymoon, when the slamming of the door behind her jolted from her thoughts.

Turning around, she could see Cat, in her blue bridesmaid dress, who'd just entered the room, trying to catch her breath.

"Cat, why are you out of breath?"

"I did like you told and checked to see if everything was going fine with the guests being seated."

Jade briefly scrunched her face. "I only asked you to do that less, than 2 minutes ago. How did you do that so quickly?"

"I ran." Replied Cat, who was still breathing hard.

"You ran?"

"Yes, I ran."

"Like you did earlier, when I asked you to make sure the caterers had arrived."

"Yes."

"It's your wedding day, your second one at least and I want to make sure that everything went perfect and to make sure, I came back right away, to make sure that you didn't have to wait to ask me to do something else."

After a moment, a rather suspicious look formed on Jade's face. "Or to make sure I wasn't left alone for more than a few moments. So I couldn't…."

Jade then shooed Cat out. "Go and leave me."

"I can't." Cat said somewhat reluctantly.

Jade held up a fist. "You're going to look awfully stupid in the wedding photos, with a fat lip?"

The look of fear that quickly ran across Cat's face, made her feel so much better.

"OH."

"Leave. If it makes you feel better, then guard the door. Make sure no one can get to me."

Suddenly smiling, Cat ran out of the room and slammed the door behind her.

Jade then picked up her phone and dialed.

After 2 rings, came the uber cheerful voice of a certain Latina, she was about to marry.

"Hi Jade. Guess, what. I'm marrying my best friend today."

"Anyone I know." Answered Jade, trying to sound disinterested.

"A dark, pale skinned, smart, sexy, clever, evil, raven-haired goddess."

Unable to help smiling, Jade said. "Sounds like a real dark princess. She's a lucky girl."

"She is, so am I. The luckiest girl in the world. What's up?

"I'm getting ready here, about to marry the most perfect, bright, happy, beautiful girl in the world, when I noticed something."

"What's That?" Said Tori, her voice a bit more cautious.

"Cat, my maid of honor, doesn't seem to want to leave me alone, not for one second. I ask her to do something or to check on something and she zips off and zips back and if she can't make it, back right away, she sends someone else to….check on me."

"She's just being very attentive." Said Tori, in a voice that was slightly tinged with nervousness.

"Or making sure I'm not left alone, so I can't get into any…mischief." Retorted Jade, sounding quite annoyed.

"Well…."

"You told Cat to make sure I wasn't left alone, so I couldn't have sex with anyone before we get married. Didn't you." Jade shot back accusingly. "Do you not trust me?"

"Of course, I trust you, I love you but, I'm just hedging my bets. Making sure it doesn't happen again. I'm sorry Baby. I'm just kind of freaking out." Tori said, sounding like she was going to cry. "I want everything to go so perfect and I had this horrible flashback to when you married Beck. Where I…."

Jade, now sounding calm, said. "Fucked the shit out of me. I know I was there. Don't cry baby, you'll trash your make up. I forgive you."

"You do?"

"Yes. That and paid Trina 20 bucks to do the exact same thing. Can't have you fucking anyone before my wedding you know. Do you forgive me?"

Tori turned around to see that Trina was standing right behind her, with an odd grin on her face.

"I forgive you. I had to pay cat 70, how did you get Trina to do it for 20?"

"Well, when I throw my bouquet, it's going to be in a very specific direction and I told Trina just what direction I'm going to throw it. I didn't even have to threaten her."

"She really want's that doesn't she."

After a moment of silence, Jade confessed. "I'm freaking out too. I want to see you and just be with you. I've never been so happy, now that we're together, as a couple all the time."

Listening, Tori could tell that Jade was starting to get emotional.

Jade continued, feeling a hundred things at once. "I was too stupid to not realize you were always the one and….."

"Don't Cry Jade. You'll trash your make up too. In a few minutes, we're going to be married. I can't wait to see you."

Jade's POV

It's completely irrational of course, making sure Tori wasn't alone before the wedding. One could say that it meant I didn't trust her or that she didn't trust me. But I find it oddly comforting that we both did the same thing. After all, it was Tori that had sex with me before my wedding to Beck. I needed her then and I need her more now.

It's been nearly a year since Tori and I got engaged. I admit I was afraid when we started to live together as a couple, that things would fizzle out or I'd get bored or even feel trapped. Through the years I would bolt from Tori, whenever I felt too much. What I felt, at those times, was my love and desire to be with her. Those were feelings I didn't want to admit were there. I lived in my own little bubble of reality. It's so easy to do. Beck was my husband who I loved and Tori was just a fling, a toy. I had it all ass backwards. Sadly, it took me nearly losing Tori, to bring me to my senses.

My fears of feeling trapped or bored, living with Tori, were completely unfounded. I loved her and more importantly, not only admitted I loved her, but entirely embraced those feelings. We of course, have our disagreements, our fights, the times were we just needed to be alone. When we come back together, we fell more in love than before. Being with her, doesn't feel like me being trapped, it's a feeling I can best describe as feeling of completeness. I feel it ten times as much when we make love and thankfully we have an extremely happy sex life. As in, we both get extremely unhappy unless we don't do it at least 4-5 times a week. All she has to do is kiss the back of my neck and the next thing I know, I'm pulling her pants off. But it all comes down to that feeling of completeness. I can't get enough of it, neither can Tori.

With Beck, I do admit I did felt it, but when I did, it was fleeting at best. Even then, it felt like some watered-down version of it. With Tori, it's absolutely pure and even on our worst days, I feel it. All the fucking time. I can't wait to marry her. I can't wait for her to slip that ring on my finger. When I married Beck, I felt nervous, mixed up, full of regret, thinking it would all go away, when I said I do.

I'm brought out of my thoughts by Cat, who came in from guarding the door, to let me know it was time. Getting up, I took a last look at myself in a white wedding dress. Tori thinks I'm wearing a tux. She thinks that because I told cat to, accidently, spill the beans that I was wearing a tux. She'll go completely nuts, when she sees me in beautiful dress. I'm Jade and it would be right if I didn't fuck with Tori in some fashion.

We're getting married at an estate that overlooks the ocean. It has a large house, which much to my delight is supposedly haunted. Kind of like before, only I'm doing it right this time. The bedroom where I am getting ready in, is one that some woman supposedly died, under mysterious circumstances, in the 1920's. That has to be good luck, it has to be. I'm sure there's some old wives' tale out there, that says if you put your wedding dress on in a room where someone died, you'll live happily ever after.

My dress, is white, beautiful, but modern, off the shoulder, with long lace sleeves and it shows my cleavage rather nicely. My hair is done with perfect curls and Tori is going to fucking drool. She wants a bride and she's getting the 2nd prettiest one on the planet. She'll be number one in this case. Normally, I can't stand to have anyone prettier than me, but I'll make an exception for Tori.

Stepping into the hallway, Cat hand's me my bouquet and smiles.

"You look beautiful."

I my nervousness, suddenly running amuck, I can't help but ask, "Do you think Tori will think so?"

"You'll knock her dead."

"Even if it does, I'm still marrying her corpse. Because it will be the prettiest corpse in the world."

Cat's eyes opened wide for a moment in shock, which pleased me to no end. Recovering quickly, she smiles uneasily and said. "Ok., Let's go."

We head downstairs and for a moment I think of Beck. He officially apologized to Tori, finished his court ordered obligations, community service, etc. and went back to New York. He worried that his career would be affected, but a scandal involving a happily married Broadway actor, getting not one but two of his co-star's pregnant at the same time overshadowed anything Beck had done. Beck picked up a role in a off Broadway production of the Shakespeare era play, The Spanish Tragedy, by Thomas Kyd. Though not trained as an actor of plays of this sort, he is apparently doing very well. I'd be lying to say that I didn't feel anger for what he'd done to Tori, but her cutting him some slack, was the correct thing to do. We can all move on with our lives.

Cat walks me downstairs, towards the back garden, where the ceremony will take place. I have two other bridesmaids, both of which are young cousins of mine. With each step towards the ceremony, I feel this building sense of joy.

I made a terrible mistake some time back. I married the person I didn't love and sent away the person I did. Today, I plan to correct that mistake.

Finally I reach the door which leads outside into the garden. My heart is beating like mad.

"Ready Jade?" Cat says.

I nod happily. "I've been ready for years. let's go."

I'm winding this down and I'm ending the story, as it started, with a wedding. One more chapter left.
