Jiara - oneshots - part 1

story 51

Kiara's POV:

I was getting ready for my wedding. Sarah was my maid of honor and I had a few other friends as bridesmaids including Cleo. She was engaged to Pope, finally! I was getting married to Caden, we met in college and had been together for six years. Pope and John B were at the wedding. It had been years since I have seen or spoken to JJ. He graduated from high school and he wanted to go on the surf trip with me but I went to college instead. 

He's been traveling ever since. He will occasionally text John B and Pope but never me. I was in my dress and just getting my hair and make-up touched up before pictures. We took so many pictures, did the first look with Caden, and then we were again, fixing hair and make-up before the ceremony.

We were laughing and just waiting for the ceremony to start. When suddenly, Pope, Cleo, and John B came running into the room and said, "Sarah, check your phone"

"Holy shit!" She said looking at them 

"What's going on?" I asked confused and they all looked at each other and then at me like they didn't want to tell me

"It's nothing.." Pope said clearly lying

"We have to tell her. She'll see if eventually" Cleo said handing me her phone

Sarah had taken a picture of me in my dress and sent it in the p4L group chat saying: look at our beautiful bride.

Cleo: hot 🔥 🔥

Pope: you look amazing! 

John B: holy shit, here comes the bride

JJ: please don't do it

JJ: i love you

Pope: dude, she's literally about to get married!

John B: what the fuck JJ?

Cleo: cheese on breadddd

Pope: hello? JJ? 

John B: are you fucking serious? you haven't talked to kiara in like six years now you tell her that you love her and not to get married. is this a stupid prank or something?

Cleo: i will cut you with my knife if you don't fucking respond

JJ: yes

John B: yes to what? that you're serious? or that this is a stupid prank?

Pope: fuck off, JJ, and just let Kiara be happy

Cleo: what Pope said

John B: speak now or forever hold your peace

I looked at them and then I grabbed my phone and I called JJ. He didn't answer and I called him again, still no answer. So I texted him in the group

Kiara: call me now!

JJ: mommas mad

Kiara: answer the fucking phone

Cleo: shit's getting real 

Sarah: 👀 👀 👀 

John B, Cleo, and Pope all left and went back to their seats like nothing happened. John B sent a picture of me and Caden kissing during the first look and he said: look at the happy couple

JJ: fuck off

Why wouldn't he answer my calls. He was clearly on his phone. I didn't know what to do. Time was running out.  Wait, why am I actually thinking about not marrying Caden

Pope: JJ, it's time to move on and get over Kiara. I thought I was in love with her once too and turns out I just loved her like a sister. Nothing should have ever happened between us. I found Cleo and couldn't be happier

John B: ^^^^ what Pope said. I thought I loved Kie too but I'm clearly in love with my wife

Cleo: wedding is starting, see you guys soon

Sarah: so excited!!! 

My bridesmaids all left the room and I tried facetiming JJ and nothing. I had been thinking about this and I've always cared about JJ more than the others, there was always something there, he would flirt nonstop with me, but he never made any moves. I was head-over-heels for Caden but part of me would always think back to this. I mean he told me he loved me and not to do it. It might be stupid, but I can't marry Caden.

I walked out and looked at my girls and said, "So I can't do this right now... Can you please go get Caden?"

"Yeah," Sarah said and she came back with Caden a few minutes later

I went into the room with him and told him that I wasn't ready to get married. I said it was a total panic attack and that I couldn't do it. I was crying and he was so sweet. He kissed me and told me that he would take care of everything. I went home with Sarah and Cleo.

Sarah: soooo the wedding isn't happening

John B: damn, JJ go shoot your shot

Pope: you better say something JJ. Kiara literally just stopped her own wedding for you

Cleo: you ruined her wedding

I went home and texted JJ, called him, nothing. Two days later, I was a complete mess. I pretty much just fucked my whole relationship up with Caden. I was at the chateau with the pogues and Pope told me I was stupid for leaving Caden. They were all pretty pissed at JJ for doing that.

We were all sitting outside and I looked like shit. I was in sweatpants and a crop top with messy hair. We were all just hanging out and a car pulled up and we all stopped to look and JJ got out of the car. He pulled a large suitcase out of the trunk and the car drove away.

Everyone stopped and looked at me.

"J," I said looking at him

"I was in the middle of nowhere in New Zealand with no phone service. I got here as soon as I could. I'm so sorry for everything... I should have called or texted you these past five years. I've been traveling and working odd jobs to pay for it all. I missed you every single day and I know those texts in the group chat was not the best way to tell you but I couldn't tell you because I've been in love with you for years and I didn't even know if you loved me and I didn't want to risk losing the friendship and you never made it easy to tell if you liked me so..."

"Shut up" I yelled using my hands 

"I'm sorry but I haven't slept in like 30 hours because I was trying to get home to you and I just didn't know what I was going to say and now I'm fucking it all up because..."

I walked up to him and I kissed him to shut him up. He kissed me back and pulled me closer to him and I said, "I love you too, JJ"

He smiled and said, "I love you and I can't believe this is real"

We were making out and when we broke apart I said, "I want to do the surf trip together. I should have gone with you the first time"

"I would love that.." JJ said

We spent the night with our friends and the next day, it was just us. We were on the beach and talking and making out as we planned our surf trip and talked about my almost wedding.

JJ rolled over and he looked at me and he said, "Thank you for trusting me and for not marrying Caden. I know that wasn't an easy decision and he is the better guy but you still picked me"

"There's always been something between us. I was just always scared to acknowledge it. I love you and I would pick you over and over again"
