My World of Minds: 20
Chapter XX
Jean's POV
I can't believe it. Today is the day I become Scott's wife! I'm so at peace and excited at the same time.
After Charles came back home from that whole adventure, Scott and I started to finish up the last details. So now after three weeks of Charles being back home, Scott and I are going to get married.
Storm finishes up the last details to my make up. "Oh, Jean, you look beautiful," she says with a big grin.
"Thank you, Storm," I reply smiling.
I look at my beautiful mermaidish (not so tight) styled dress with three quartered length sleeves and tiny beads in beautiful patterns.
I hear a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Storm asks.
"Charles," the voice on the other side of the door replies.
"Come in," I reply.
He opens the door. "Wow Jean, you look amazing," Charles says with a widening smile.
"Thank you, Charles," I reply with a happy sigh.
"I think it's time," he says offering his arm.
I take it and walk out of the room.
I watch as Storm and Alex walk down the isle, arm in arm. Storm is wearing a white tea length dress, with a cranberry red sash, which all the bridesmaids are wearing. Alex is wearing a dark grey tux with a red vest and tie, all the groomsmen are wearing the same. Next Kurt comes arm in arm with Lizzy. Then Hank and Jubilee. Then Rogue and Bobby. I have some of the little girls at the school be my flower girls. They look lovely in white with a red sash, and red rose petals.
As I walk down the isle with Charles behind me he is being pushed by Logan, who actually is wearing a suit. I notice all the students from the school, then I look a little further and see Scott, he is smiling. I return the smile and wait as Charles brings me towards him. Within moments I'm in front of Scott. Charles puts Scott's hand in mine, then Logan rolls him off to the side. I focus on Scott.
We say our vows and then I hear the words, "You are now man and wife, kiss the bride."
I feel Scott's soft lips on mine then we pull away and watch as everyone smiles. We walk down the isle hand in hand.
We walk out of the church and are met with rose petals falling in the sky. We kiss one more time then run into the car.
Lizzy's POV
Wow, Scott and Jean are married. It seems like yesterday when they were asking me to join the school.
I sigh a deep sigh.
"What z it?" Kurt asks.
"Oh, all of this. It's all so beautiful," I say with another sigh.
"I know, z all vonderful," Kurt replies.
I shake my head in agreement.
Scott and Jean decided that they wanted the reception in a tent in the backyard.
We sit at a long table at the back of the tent. All the chairs have white coverings with red sashes. All the other tables are round. There is a hard floor board underneath us.
The first song Scott and Jean dance to is All of Me, because is it their song.
'What would I do without your smart mouth
Drawing me in, and you kicking me out
Got my head spinning, no kidding, I can't pin you down
What's going on in that beautiful mind
I'm on your magical mystery ride
And I'm so dizzy, don't know what hit me, but I'll be alright
My head's under water
But I'm breathing fine
You're crazy and I'm out of my mind
'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning
'Cause I give you all, all of me
And you give me all, all of you
How many times do I have to tell you
Even when you're crying you're beautiful too
The world is beating you down, I'm around through every move
You're my downfall, you're my muse
My worst distraction, my rhythm and blues
I can't stop singing, it's ringing, in my head for you
My head's under water
But I'm breathing fine
You're crazy and I'm out of my mind
'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning
'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all, all of you
Give me all of you
Cards on the table, we're both showing hearts
Risking it all, though it's hard
'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning
'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you
I give you all, all of me
And you give me all, all of you'
They kiss and another song plays. Kurt asks me to dance, of course I say yes. We dance and talk.
Shortly after Scott and Jean cut the cake. I go outside of the tent for a moment. Remembering the fight Warren and I had.
~~~~~~~ Flashback ~~~~~~~~
"So you're trying to tell me you don't want to be with me?" Warren asks in a hurt voice.
"Warren," I say placing a hand on my forehead.
"Is that not it? Because I still want to marry you," Warren replies.
"Warren, can't you see I've been pulling away for sometime now?" I ask.
"I don't want to listen to this," Warren says gets up and leaves.
~~~~~ End of Flashback ~~~~~
After that Warren went back to his father's. I almost expected him to not even come to the wedding.
I spend minutes, alone in thought before I hear foot steps behind me. I turn around and see Warren.
"Hi Lizzy," he says placing his hands in his pocket.
I just look at him confused. After a few minutes of silence he breaks it with, "How have you been?"
"Good, you?" I ask in response.
"Alright," he replies.
"That's good, bub," I reply.
"Did you just call me bub?" he asks in confusion. "You do like Logan, don't you?" he asks.
"Warren, this has nothing to do with him. This is about us," I reply.
"Then why did you call me bub?" he asks.
"I've been around him for weeks, you pick up habits of people you spend a lot of time with," I explain.
He looks at me like he doesn't buy it.
"If you don't like him, then why won't you marry me? Be my wife and the mother of our children?" he asks grabbing my hands in his.
"Because I don't want to be," I say then I cover my mouth.
I can't believe I just said that. Warren takes his hands from mine and starts walking away.
"I hope whoever you wish to be with breaks your heart the way you just broke mine," he remarks bitterly as he walks further away.
I start to feel tears falling down my cheek as I go inside and go to the bathroom. I splash cold water on my cheeks and blow my nose, gosh I hate crying. That's it, things with Warren are over. On one hand I'm relieved, on the other hand I'm upset. Because even though I didn't want to marry him, I still cared about him. I'm sorry Warren, but I couldn't marry someone who I didn't want to. I should have told him earlier.
A little later I go back to the tent and look around the room, Jean and Scott are dancing and there are a few couples on the dance floor, Kitty and Peter, and Rogue and Bobby. I sigh and watch as they dance.
The song is ending when Logan comes over to me. He offers a smile. I smile back. He is wearing a dark gray suit with a red tie. And his hair looks less wild than usually.
"You want to dance?" Logan asks.
"You want to dance with me?" I ask in response.
"Yeah," he says with a nervous grin.
"I would love to," I reply.
He smiles, takes my hand and leads me to the floor. The music starts.
"I'll warn you I haven't done this in a while," he explains.
I smile and nod. He places his hand on my waist and I place a hand on his shoulder.
'Every time our eyes meet
This feeling inside me
Is almost more than I can take
Baby when you touch me
I can feel how much you love me
And it just blows me away
I've never been this close to anyone or anything
I can hear your thoughts
I can see your dreams
He takes it slow, but the faster the song goes, the faster he leads me.
'I don't know how you do what you do
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps getting better
I wanna spend the rest of my life
With you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Baby I'm amazed by you
Through the chorus he spins me three times.
'The smell of your skin
The taste of your kiss
The way you whisper in the dark
Your hair all around me
Baby you surround me
You touch every place in my heart
Oh it feels like the first time every time
I wanna spend the whole night in your arms
As he looks me in my eyes, I feel my heart race. I can't keep my eyes off his beautiful light brown eyes.
'I don't know how you do what you do
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps getting better
I wanna spend the rest of my life
With you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Baby I'm amazed by you
Again he spins me three times.
'Every little thing that you do
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps getting better
I wanna spend the rest of my life
With you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Oh, yeah every little thing that you do
Baby I'm amazed by you
He gently spins me and dramatically drips me. I feel his breath on my lips. He slowly pulls me back up. He takes my hand and leads me back to the wedding party table. The whole time I feel sparks as he holds my hand. But then he leaves. I watch as he walks out of the tent into the pitch black.
Logan's POV
Wow! That was something. I wonder if she feelings the same way as I do? Or is it my usually fate to have feelings for someone who doesn't care about me? Dammit Logan, can't you just enjoy that you danced with her? I wish I didn't fall this easily.
I have time to see if this is real and not just the champagne. I'm leaving tomorrow for Gettysburg. I had another dream and Charles thought that's where I'll find answers. I don't know when I'll be back, but if I still feel this way when I do, then I'll worry about it then. Or maybe before?
I get up at seven in the morning. My things are already packed. I just need to eat then hit the road.
So I walk into the kitchen, make some eggs and toast, coffee. I eat, then place the dishes in the sink.
Then I grab my pack and head towards the door. That's when I smell the familiar smell of warm vanilla, behind me. I turn around and sure enough there is Lizzy, looking half asleep, cute, but still half asleep. I notice her run down the stairs faster then usually.
"Are you leaving Logan," she asks as she steps in front of me.
"Yeah," I reply.
I see her face fall. "How long will you be gone?" she asks.
"I don't know, but I promise I'll be back," I respond.
Are those tears forming in her eyes?
"Okay, just promise you'll take care of yourself?" she asks timidly.
"Yeah," I reply, looking her in the eyes. A few tears have fallen. Without thinking I wipe them away. "Well I got to go," I say. "I promise I'll take care of myself and that I'll be back," I vow.
I walk out of the door wondering where other adventures will take me and when I will be back again.
