Invisible String

Kelley's POV

"I object! I object!" Natalie yells as she stands up from where she's sitting.

"Yes!" Megan yells.

"Yes!" We all yell as we jump out of our chairs.

The venue goes silent and we all sit back down. Oh god here we go.

"Holy shit she did it." I whisper to Tobin who grins.

"Alex please don't marry him. Please I beg you not to, I know I haven't been exactly the most talkative person with you lately but I have my reasons. But please don't marry him. Please Alex you're the one I want." Natalie says as she walks closer to Alex.

Alex looks around the venue, her mouth opening and closing. She looks at Servando who nods to Alex with a smile.

Alex leaps into Natalie, quickly Alex pulling back and stared at Natalie before leaning in for a kiss.

"I want you." Alex says and all our jaws drop.

"Hold me I think I'm going to faint." I whisper to Pinoe.

"What the hell is going on? Alexandra you are not gay." Pam says.

"I'm tired of this! I'm tired of doing what you want instead of what I want." Alex says and I clap. "You set this marriage up! Servando and I don't want to marry each other. Hell the most we've ever talked is about the one person I want to be with which is Natalie."

"It's true." Servando says.

"God mom do you really want me to marry someone I don't even want to be with. He's a good man and I know that but he's not the one for me and I'm not the one for him. THIS." Alex says motioning to Serv and herself. "Is an arranged marriage and WE don't want it."

"My daughter is not gay." Pam says and I snort.

"I'd say she's more bisexual than anything." I say with a nod. "But of course Alex will tell us when she does."

"Kelley shut up." Christen whisper yells as she pinches me.

"Ow!"

"Alexandra you are a disgrace." Pam says and slaps Alex.

All our eyes widen as we gasp.

Natalie intervenes as she slaps Pam back and we all get up and run to the front as Natalie gets closer to Pam.

Servando holding her back on one side as Ash and Alyssa hold her back on the other side.

"Don't you ever touch Alex again, I don't ever want you to lay a finger on her again."

Natalie's POV

"Alexandra you are a disgrace." Pamela says and slaps Alex.

My eyes widen and I quickly stand in between Alex and her mother. I slap Pam back as I push her back.

I feel people holding me back as I try to get closer to Pam.

"Don't you ever touch Alex again, I don't ever want you to lay a finger on her again." I spat as I point my finger at her.

"You're a disgrace as well."

"Oh please I don't let that get to me, my parents loved me the way I was born. They never saw me different! At least my parents loved their child no matter what. You're the disgrace here."

"Nat." I hear Taylor say.

"Let me go! I'm going to give her a piece of my mind." I growl.

"Natalie! Look at me."

I turn to look at Taylor and she softly grabs my face.

"Breathe."

"No let me get her I want to slap her again." I grumble.

"We've talked about this." Taylor says and I let out a lengthy sigh.

"We take deep breaths if we're angry." I mumble.

"That's right. Breathe for me, deep breaths." Taylor whispers as I feel her thumb stroking my cheek.

"Disgrace!"

I open my eyes as I start to push forward, freeing myself from the ones holding me back. I walk over to Alex's mom and I huff.

"You should be ashamed of yourself for setting up your own daughter to a marriage she doesn't even want. Ashamed."

I turn back around and I see Alex with tears in her eyes.

"How do you look at your daughter with tears in her eyes and not be ashamed of what you did. How do you live with that in your head?" I ask with anger.

"Your mother clearly didn't raise you right, I want to have a talk with her about how much she didn't teach you a lesson."

My eyes widen as I grit my teeth.

"Uh oh." I hear Tay say.

"My mother is dead! But I know damn well she raised me right. She was the best mother to me and loved me so dearly. I'd say when you're dead you could talk to her but I know damn well you'd be in hell and my mother isn't there."

"Come on Pam." A guy says trying to escort her out. The guy looks over to me and his eyes showed hurt. "I'm so sorry. Alex honey I'm so sorry."

I compose myself then turn around to Alex as I cup her face.

"Are you okay? Does it hurt a lot?" I ask as I look at her cheek. "A little bruised but not too much."

"I'm fine, but are you okay? I'm sorry about my mother she's something." Alex says and I shake my head.

"Don't apologize for your mother's actions."

"Anyway so we're not just going to talk about what just happened?" I turn around to see Kelley wiggling her eyebrows.

"Kelley!" The girls all yell.

I turn back to the seats and everyone is looking right at us.

"There will be no wedding but by all means please head to the reception and eat food and cake really it's already paid for." Servando says.

"Servando, pleasure doing plans with you." Taylor says shaking Servando's hand.

I furrow my eyebrows as I tilt my head.

"Plans? What am I missing here?" I ask as I wrap my arm around Alex's waist.

"Right well your sister and I planned for you to be here at the wedding. I was hoping you'd intervene the wedding. It wasn't Alex's sister who asked for you to play, it was me. Although I promise I didn't want you to hate me even more. I just needed you to be here to stop it and well Taylor said you'd want to intervene somehow and she obviously convinced you to be here. Taylor and I pretty much planned on the wedding being canceled." Servando says. "Taylor actually called me."

"I have no words." I say.

"I do. Thank you." Alex says. "Clearly we should get rid of these clothes. Um I also think Natalie I need some time alone to talk."

"Thanks man, I appreciate it." I say as I hug Servando. "I owe you big time."

"Not at all, just keep her happy. She's amazing but we're just one hundred percent not for each other we don't even know each other very well." He says with a chuckle.

"Will do." I say with a grin.

"Nat." Alex says and I nod.

"I'll see you around Servando." I say with a smile as I shake his hand.

"See you around Natalie."

"It's Nat." I say with a smile.

"Nat." He says with a nod.

I walk over to Alex and she smiles. 

"A talk would be nice." Alex says and I nod.

"It's been pending." I say.
