"Sure, Peter," MJ said with laughs, looking at him, in his eyes, before humming along to the song and laying her head against his shoulder

He listens to the song, listens to the words, hearing,"'Cause it's you, and me, and all of the people, with nothing to do, nothing to lose—and it's you, and me, and all of the people, and I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you

And right now, as cliche as it is with her head on his shoulder and his arms around her, those lyrics are hitting uncomfortably close to home.

He closes his eyes and clutches her tighter, smiling overhead in heels with his feelings for her he sometimes finds it hard to believe hes found the one his one true love and here he thought he would be all alone after it

She notices the way his heartbeat speeds up now when he looks at her

The way his palms start to sweat, the way his stomach flips, the way he has to gulp because it's impossible not to when he sees her

But Now those are the things that make him look at her like she's the only person in the world and make him want to yell at her family for treating her the way that they do and make him want to be around her every second for the rest of his life

The song echoes around them, saying, "Everything she does is beautiful, everything she does is right." And their bodies are pressed together, and they're moving slowly, and he wants to kiss her more than he's ever wanted anything in his life

he wants to kiss her all over again than he's ever most wanted anything in his life

"Cheesy, I know, but I love this song," MJ said with a shrug and laughs, and he smiles and nods to agree

He looks at her and watches her sing it under her breath, and his heart feels so heavy in his chest that it rings

"You're so beautiful," Peter mutters, and she turns and looks at him, smiling

um whatever you already said that before but yeah youre beautiful too MJ said agreeing then can't help herself but stare at his lips

"I know," but I mean it he said with a nod, not even cracking a smile even though he wants to just so it would be less intense

"Thanks, Peter," "You know, you kinda look good yourself. With your sleeves rolled up, your tie loose, and your hair messy Not to gas you up or anything, but careless Peter is...sort of sexy she said laughing then leaning to kiss his lips as he leaned in

ok you two get a room Anna said chuckling as they pulled away hearing Anna lecture them while Madeline was just disgusted with them

see he does love her I mean look at the way he looks at her and she loves him too the chemistry is there you can't deny that Anna said as she was smiling and fangirling over them

ugh well I can't separate them and I can't believe she was embarrassing me Madeline said upset

oh sweetie quit ruining my special day it's my wedding I honestly regret inviting you honestly Anna said annoyed

then after it was another time for pictures

Say cheese!" The photographer holds the camera to her eye, standing beside them to take their picture. The flash goes off as Peter watches MJ smile at the camera, and then she turns to him and says, "Peter, seriously, we need to take one good picture for anna's sake. So actually look at the camera, please?"

They dance for a little while longer after that, before there's an announcement for the grand exit. So they all gather around again to watch, as Anna and Jordan pump their fists in the air as they run out and to their limo. Everyone's clapping and cheering as they drive away, off to their honeymoon

"Ready to go?" MJ asks Peter, slipping her shoes back on

"Yeah, sure," he nods, following her through the mass of people who are also trying to get around And about eighty-five percent of these people are all going where they are going

Eventually, they find the car and, MJ is leaning back against the seat

"That wasn't too bad," Peter said then turns to her, barely able to see her in the dark car

I had fun Peter said happily

"I...kinda did too, "I think it's just because It feels like only saw mom and Brad, like, once, but I'll take it I guess  MJ said with a shrug, seeming surprised by it

before they go anywhere they were stopped by Madeline of course

"Come here," she said grumbling angrily under her breath, grabbing MJ's arm roughly and dragging her away from the crowd

She pulls MJ so hard that she stumbles for a moment, before finally finding her feet and walking alongside her

None of their family seems to notice or care

which makes Peter confused and frustrated, and angry. He watches them carefully. He knows it's rude to the man talking to him, but he knows this is more important. He's not taking his eyes off of them just in case MJ might need him

she will He thought to himself

He can start to hear her mom's voice now—loud and angry and mean. And still, MJ stands there quietly, not putting up a fight

Her mom points at MJ's bare feet, and although Peter can't hear her from where he's at, he can see she's yelling and talking about how she embarrassed her with the inappropriate talk she had in front of the guests

"You think you can just ignore me, Michelle? I am your mother! And " you can't just run away from us not come back mom yells now, and MJ grips the sides of her dress nervous

"All I did was take my shoes off. They were killing me," MJ's voice shakes, and Peter's heart is racing as he walks faster now

"All of these people are drunk anyway—I doubt they even noticed. I'm surprised you even noticed with how drunk you are MJ said annoyed

"Don't you dare talk to me like that in front of our family," her mom seethes in anger, and MJ flinches as she raises her hand at her
