Part Three (Read If Only & Remember Me first)
What happens when Lacey returns home to London for Lauren and Declan's wedding, her heart still very much caught up on the Chelsea Midfielder.
A Year is a long time, time for people to change, time fo...
"Are you nervous now?" Ellie questioned to Lauren, as they sat on Lauren's living room floor, Raffa being out with Declan on a walk, and the girls having alone time together for the last time before the big day. "I think it's starting to set in now, I mean, it probably won't set in fully until Dec moves out tomorrow" Lauren whispered, as she drank some of the orange juice that she had brought that morning, all of the girls agreeing to go on an alcohol ban until the wedding. "Mase keeps trying to put his suit on and show me, it's honestly so cute but I'm like Mase stop, you'll ruin it" Lacey laughed, as Ellie nodded her head. "Bens the same" she smiled. "But Lace, I need to tell you something" Lauren whispered, as Sasha looked from Lauren to Lacey, feeling the atmosphere get awkward. "Aha, okay" Lacey smiled, as she took a sip of the orange juice, smiling at her friend. "I didn't think it would be a big deal, I mean I've known her for a while and we talk occasionally, and we really get on" Lauren started, as Lacey looked at Ellie and then back at Lauren, Ellie was playing with her shoe laces, and Lacey couldn't help but think they all knew what was coming, making Lacey feel anxious about what was coming next. "Chloe is coming to the wedding" Lauren breathed, as Lacey nodded her head. "Okay" Lacey smiled, as Lauren looked at her friend, confusion washing over her face. "I was expecting a little more than okay" Lauren whispered, as Lacey shook her head smiling. "I mean, I take it you're on about Masons Ex Chloe?" Lacey smiled, as the girls all nodded their heads, confirming that they all did in fact know what Lauren was going to talk about. "But it's in the past, and Me and Mase are fine" Lacey smiled, as Lauren nodded her head. "Well, at least that's okay then" Lauren smiled, as Lacey nodded her head smiling.
And for once Lacey wasn't bothered about Masons past coming into his future, she knew that she was all he wanted, she knew that Mason was all she needed, and for once in a long, long time, she felt happy, the happiest she had been in a while.

"I can't believe that we're spending the last few nights before the wedding playing fifa" Ben laughed, as he brought some more beer bottles into Masons living room, smiling at the lads he called friends. "It's a tradition" Mason laughed, as Declan shook his head. "Can't be a tradition because none of us have got married yet" Declan smirked. "I'll take one for the team" Declan laughed, as Jack shook his head. "I've thought about it" Jack mumbled, as Declan paused the TV, all the males attention turning to face Jack. "What do you mean?" Ben questioned with a smile on his face. "Are you saying what I think you're saying bro?" Mason smiled, as Jack nodded his head laughing. "Yeah, yeah I am" Jack smiled. "I wanted to last year, and I really thought I was gonna but then all the rumours started flying around and it felt like I had to do everything I could to keep Sash, and I didn't want to do it and her think it was me just doing it out of the heat of the moment" Jack stated, as he took a sip from the beer bottle. "But the weekend after the wedding, I've booked a hotel and I thought why not, I know I love her, I know I want to spend the rest of my life with her, god I've spent all of it with her anyway" Jack smiled, thinking about asking Sasha to marry him. "Bro, that's big" Ben smiled, as Mason nodded his head, somewhat feeling left out, he knew deep down and openly spoke about it, he wanted Lacey for now and forever, but he knew deep down that it wasn't something that needed to happen right now. "Well if we're confessing truths, I'm going to be having sleepless nights soon" Ben smiled, as Jack struggled to swallow the beer that was in his mouth, his eyes popping out his head briefly. "Nah, Chilly!" Jack boomed, clapping his hands together. "You being serious bro?" Declan smiled, as he jumped up hugging Ben, which soon turned into a group hug. "I know, me a Dad" Ben laughed, as he hugged Mason, a little tighter than he needed to, but it didn't matter if Mason already knew, or if he didn't, he knew the news may of been hard to digest knowing that if things had of gone the way everyone wanted them to that Mason would of had a child of his own now. "I'm happy for you bro" Mason stated, as he pulled back from Bens hug. "But I feel sorry for you all, you're all joining the mature adults club now" Mason laughed, as Jack shook his head. "I have no doubt that you won't be far behind us" Jack smirked, as Mason rolled his eyes playfully. "I'm sure I won't, but I'm not rushing anything" Mason smiled, as he looked down at his phone that was ringing. "One min" Mason smiled, as he answered his phone walking into the kitchen, hearing that lads call him whipped in the background. "Hey" Mason breathed, as Lacey's face come up on his screen, smiling at him. "I just wanted to say night" Lacey smiled, as Mason nodded his head. "I'll probably still be awake with these lot when you get up" Mason chuckled. "Ben told us all the news today" Mason whispered, not wanting anyone else to hear on the other end of the phone. "Ellie told the girls today as well, she didn't know how long she could deny the drinks at the wedding" Lacey giggled. "Try not to spoon Dec too much tonight" Lacey smiled, as Mason rolled his eyes. "I'll be counting the hours till you're back in my bed" Mason smiled, as Lacey blew a kiss to him. "I love you" Mason smiled, as Lacey smiled brighter. "I love you too"
