Invisible String

Natalie's POV

"Will I be okay?"

"You'll be okay, I'll be here through it all." Lizzie says as she pecks my forehead.

"Pick me up right after I'm done?" I ask.

"I'll be waiting for you right here."

"Great. I have to get going now." I say.

I take a deep breath and I feel her hand on top of my thigh. I look back up at her and smile.

"If you get the opportunity to do it then you do it." Lizzie says with an encouraging smile. I laugh and shake my head.

I get out of the car as I grab my guitar from the backseat. I look back at Lizzie and I shake my head.

"I won't."

I walk inside with Taylor who was waiting for me to go in with her and in Lizzies words 'hurry the fuck up' which was quite mean.

I put my sunglasses on as we both walk to the venue.

"Are you going to do something?" Taylor whispers.

"Never in a million years." I whisper back.

I head to the front as I do a soundcheck. I warm up on the piano and look over to Taylor.

I grin as I start playing Long Live.

"Don't start." Taylor says and I chuckle.

I get up and stretch as Taylor goes somewhere in the back. I close my eyes as I try to relax.

"You were never with my daughter right?" A woman who I assume is Alex's mom.

I open my eyes and I look over at her.

"Uh no." I say.

"Good."

Shit. No wonder I never liked her. What a bitch. Now I understand why Alex is afraid of her mother. Scary witch.

I walk to the back to find Taylor. While I walk over to grab my water I bump into someone and I groan.

"Sorry I-"

"Hey." Alex says and I gulp.

"You look beautiful."

"You don't look bad yourself." Alex says looking at me.

I shuffle my feet nervously as I look at my suit and back up at Alex in her beautiful white dress.

"I didn't know you were coming." Alex says and I furrow my eyebrows.

"What? But Taylor said your sister asked if I could play as you walk down." I say.

"I didn't hear of this." Alex says looking at me very confused. "I didn't know you were going to play."

"Alex come on." I hear someone shout.

"That's my cue." Alex says nervously pointing behind me.

"Right well remember to say I do." I say with a forced smile.

"Right." Alex says.

We look at each other briefly and part ways.

I walk to the piano and prepare myself for my cue to begin.

"Hey, I'm glad you could make it." Servando whispers as he pats my shoulders and walks to the front.

What the fuck is going on.

"Please rise for the bride." I hear a lady say.

I begin to play the piano at a slow beat as I start singing.

Oh, her eyes, her eyes
Make the stars look like they're not shinin'
Her hair, her hair
Falls perfectly without her tryin'
She's so beautiful and I tell her everyday
Yeah, I know, I know
When I compliment her, she won't believe me
And it's so, it's so
Sad to think that she don't see what I see
But every time she asks me, "Do I look okay?"
I say

When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause girl, you're amazing
Just the way you are
Yeah

Her lips, her lips
I could kiss them all day if she'd let me
Her laugh, her laugh
She hates, but I think it's so sexy
She's so beautiful and I tell her everyday
Oh, you know, you know
You know I'd never ask you to change
If perfect's what you're searchin' for, then just stay the same
So don't even bother askin' if you look okay
You know I'll say

When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause girl, you're amazing
Just the way you are

The way you are
The way you are
Girl, you're amazing
Just the way you are

When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause girl, you're amazing
Just the way you are

Tobin's POV

"Oh god they look like they're-"

"Being forced to marry each other?" I say.

"Yep that's it." Megan says.

"Oh god." Christen says.

"Do you guys think Natalie will do anything to stop it?" Ash asks.

"Oh my god we're in the middle of a ceremony! Shut up! All of you." Christen whisper yells.

"Come on you can't tell me you're not secretly hoping someone intervenes this wedding. Look at them they both look absolutely miserable." Megan says and I nod in agreement.

"Trust me I'm hoping someone does but we can't be talking in the middle of the damn ceremony. It's so disrespectful." Christen says.

"Your vows."

Yikes.

I tune out the ceremony until I'm brought back to reality when I feel Christen nudge my stomach.

"I don't think I need to do this but does anyone present know of any reason that this couple should not be joined in holy matrimony, speak now or forever hold your peace."

We all look over to Natalie.

Natalie's POV

"I don't think I need to do this but does anyone present know of any reason that this couple should not be joined in holy matrimony, speak now or forever hold your peace."

I turn around and I see the national team girls looking at me and my eyes widen. I look back towards where Alex is and Servando is looking at me? I look all the way back where Taylor is and she smiles softly at me.

"Nope. Not gonna do it." I whisper as I look down.

I look back up and see that Servando and the national team girls are still looking at me.

I look at Alex and I gulp.

Kelley's POV

"We've been let down." I whisper to Megan.

"I was waiting for something to happen." Megan whispers back and I nod.

"This wedding is bringing me down." Ash says.

"Well if there's no one to obj-"

"I object! I object!"
