(A/N: it's three months from the time they were in the last chapter I posted. So right now it's August in the story.

And the outfit posted with this chapter is Ivy's bridesmaid outfit)

Ivy's POV

As I helped Ana walk out to the foyer, my heart raced. I was going to see Harry after all these months.

Does he look different? Maybe he has a girlfriend? Maybe this won't be as awkward as I'm thinking it will be? I've been dreading this moment since father announced he was going to ask Harry to stand with him.

"You could have told your father you didn't want Harry to be here. He would have understood," Ana broke me from my thoughts while we walked down the hallway.

I shook my head at her and kept silent.

When we reached our destination, all air left my lungs at the sight of him. He was dressed in a nice black suit with a white button up shirt and white tie.

His brown curls had obviously trimmed somewhat since I last saw him, but they were still pretty long for a guy.

"You both look lovely," Harry complimented us.

"Thank you," Ana smiled at him the best she could.

I could tell that Ana felt uncomfortable with him being here after knowing what happened between us.

"I'm gonna go make sure they play the right song," Ana excused herself.

I silently begged her not to leave but kept quiet as she walked away in the floor length ball gown.

"I mean what I said, you look lovely," Harry repeated himself.

"Don't do it Harry," I shook my head at him. "Don't try to come back into my life, sweep me off my feet, but then quickly drop me on my ass."

Harry shook his head and walked closer to me.

"Since you left California I've changed Ivy. I want a real relationship, but I only want one with you."

I felt my eyes beginning to water up but I pushed it back down.

"I saw you on the magazine covers with those sluts from the clubs. It killed me, that's why I left California."

Harry placed his hands on my cheeks, "I was only using them to try and forget about you."

"Cause that makes it all better Harry," I snarled.

Our conversation was cut short when we heard Ana's heels click back in the room. I pushed his hands off of me and walked to the other side of the room before she entered.

"They're almost ready," she nervously smiled at us.

The ceremony felt like it lasted for centuries with Harry standing on the other side of father and Ana, staring at me.

I, of corse ignored him and focused on the reason we were all here; the ceremony.

It felt like an elephant was lifted off my chest as soon as we got to the reception and I could curl up into my boyfriend's side.

"How you holding up?" Ben quietly asked me as I sat in his lap and curled up into his chest.

I shrugged, "I can't wait until we can leave. How are you holding up?"

"Well I haven't punched the guy in the face for trying to make moves on you. So pretty well I guess."

I laughed into his dress shirt and sat up straight in his lap.

"Do you want any food?" I offered.
"I'm starving, so I'll take whatever sounds good to you."

"I'll be right back then," I smiled and pecked his lips.

"Don't be too long," he pouted.

A big grin grew on my face as I pecked his lips again and climbed off his lap. The reception has been going on for the past two hours, but I just got here because we had to take wedding photos.

Today should be a joyful occasion with Father remarrying, but Harry's presence has sucked pretty much all joy.

Thank God Ben could make it here for the weekend or else I don't know how I'd survive today.

When I reached the buffet line, I had to wait on a bunch of gossiping old ladies to move out of the way, just to get to the stack of plates.

I grabbed two and began loading it up with chicken, lots of vegetables, and a scoop of fruit salad.

Then came the hardest decision: White or red wine?

"Go with the red, the wine tastes like gas station grape juice," a husky voice spoke behind me.

His hot breath hitting my neck, sending chills down my spine.

"I'll just ask my boyfriend what he wants," I spat and turned to head back to the table.

"Wait," he sighed and grabbed my wrist to stop me from walking away from him.

"What do you want from me Harry?" I sighed and sat my plates down.

He stuffed his hands in his pockets and bit his lip, "I already told you that I want you back."

I shook my head, "You can't have something that was never yours to begin with."

"What more do you want Ivy? I haven't been with a girl since you drunk called me that night. That's a record."

I rolled my eyes, "You think you changed Harry, but you're still a little boy who thinks about nothing but his dick."

I grabbed my plates and stormed back to the table.

Ben was taken by surprise when I practically slammed down the plates on the table before smashing my lips onto his.

His eyes were wide open in surprise, but his lips moved against mine to match my speed.

I finally had to break the kids to catch my breath.

"What was that for?" He chuckled.
"I missed you," I smiled.

"I missed you too," he smiled and reached over grab my hand and run his thumb over my knuckles.
