Soon To Be Mrs ||E.Olsen||

Car Talks &

Y/N's Pov

My face fell as the realisation hit me "What are we doing"

She sighed, looking down for a moment before returning to look at me "I don't know, but one things for sure, I want to freeze this moment and live in it forever. Maybe with a few more layers on but you get the gist."

I laughed and nodded "Me too Olsen, me too."

She smiled and leaned in again, only to jump away when the sound of a car horn beeping made us turn around.

"Wow you really didn't notice the car practically running you both down?"Jarnett  chuckled

"Mom?" Lizzie asked, eyes widened

"mOm" I muttered under my breath to which Lizzie hit me across the chest.

"This whole thing is a shit show because of you two. Get in the car." She ordered sternly.

Lizzie and I looked at each other and gulped before turning back to look at Jarnie who seemed to be holding in a laugh.

"Real mature" Lizzie scoffed when she saw her Mother going red in the face.

She burst out laughing and got back in her car, honking again. "Get in wedding crashers" She yelled, sticking her head out of the window.

"You can't crash your own wedding" Lizzie grumbled.

"Yet you just did" I chuckled and Lizzie crossed her arms across her chest like a toddler.

I sighed and shook my head, grabbing Lizzie's hand and taking her with me to Jarnie's car.

"Wait what about your car" Lizzie asked once we were situated in our seats; Lizzie on the right hand side and myself on the right, both of us in the back.

I waved a hand dismissively "I'll come back for it"

A couple minutes of silent driving and Lizzie fidgeting in her seat uncomfortably went by before Jarnett rolled her eyes and broke the silence "Elizabeth Chase stop your fidgeting. Say what you want to say and say it quickly before you chicken out"

Lizzie stopped moving immediately and lowered her gaze to the floor "Are you mad at me?"

"Who, me?" Jarnie asked, looking through the rear view mirror at her daughter to which Lizzie looked up and nodded. "I'm not mad. And before you say anything no I'm not disappointed either." She looked back at Lizzie again and could see she wasn't convinced.

Sighing, Jarnett pulled over and through a lot of grumbling and 'move I'm too old for this', climbed over into the back seat on the left when Lizzie moved to the middle. She took Lizzie's fumbling hands into her own and looked pitifully at her daughter.

"I'll give you two a moment" I said, turning to open the door but heard a clunk and realised the doors were locked.

I turned and saw Jarnie leaning back into her seat from locking all the doors. "This Mother talk is for you too Y/N"

I gulped but focused my attention on her nonetheless as she started to speak.

"I love you both and you know that." She looked to Lizzie "And I will never be mad at your for your decisions. Unless of course you became a mass murderer..then we might have to have some words." She looked at me "Y/N, I have loved you like my own since Lizzie introduced you and I always suspected something between you both and now I know I was right" She smiled.

Lizzie and I looked at each other "Oh we're not- like we're not a thing" Lizzie rushed out.

"Oh no it's not- no we haven't been- this is just-" I stuttered out frantically

"Uh huh." Jarnie hummed, unimpressed "So you ditch your entire wedding for someone that you're not a thing it's not we haven't been this is just?" She raised an eyebrow .

"Do we really sound like that?" I muttered, eyebrows furrowed.

"We sound drunk" Lizzie giggled

"You sound flustered. So when did you two decide to ditch the wedding" Jarnie asked

"When she threw her body at me" I said nonchalantly

"Wait this wasn't premeditated?" Jarnie said, loving the drama she was getting.

"Nope" Lizzie popped the p "I just got to the altar, saw him, saw Y/N and made up my mind"

"Which was..?" Her mother asked

"That I refuse to spend the rest of my life with a man I didn't love" She shrugged

I stayed silent, observing the conversation and feeling a little out of place.

"When did you realise you didn't love him?" Jarnie turned and rested her back on the door, gazing at her daughter.

"I don't think it was a realisation as such, but I kind of always knew he wasn't 'the one'. But I just pushed it down. I thought I was making you proud" She whispered the last bit, looking down again, finding great interest in the car floor.

"Now that is the last thing I would be proud of you for. Throwing away your happiness to make us more comfortable? All I want from you is to love the life you're living, Elizabeth."

Lizzie let some tears fall and Jarnett immediately engulfed her in a warm embrace, rubbing her hands up and down Lizzie's back soothingly.

I made eye contact with Jarnie over Lizzie's shoulder and I looked away, feeling a little uncomfortable under her stern mum gaze.

Lizzie emerged from her Mother's shoulder and sniffed quietly "What about the twins" She looked at her mum and saw her face dim slightly.

"They'll come around" She smiled sadly, letting go of Lizzie and opening the door, walking back round to the drivers seat.

Lizzie's eyebrows furrowed "They'll come around?" She muttered

I took her hand and placed a gentle kiss on it, making her turn to face me and grab my face, pushing our lips together.

The sound of the door opening broke us apart, both of us scrambling to our respected seats, clearing our throats slightly into the awkward silence that invaded the car once Jarnie's door shut.

"I'm not blind you know, I saw you eating each other's faces" She smirked, starting the engine.

Lizzie's face went the shade of a ripe tomato and she coughed slightly, avoiding eye contact with her Mother through the mirror.

I smiled to myself but it faded as my mind began to comprehend what had happened over this short amount of time.

I felt Lizzie's hand slither onto my own that was resting on the seat, her fingers sliding to interlock our hands.

"Everything's going to be okay" She whispered, smiling briefly.

"I wish it was that easy" I mumbled back, staring back into her bright green eyes sadly.
