Chapter Thirteen

Y/n's heart pounds as she spots Five coming out of the elevator. Anxiety courses through her veins, and she instinctively moves closer to the pillar, attempting to remain inconspicuous. Five, engrossed in the group's chatter, doesn't immediately notice y/n standing at a distance.

As the anticipation for Sloane grows, y/n tries to blend into the background, avoiding eye contact with anyone, especially Five.

Sloane emerges from the elevator, a vision in her beautiful wedding dress, capturing everyone's attention. Luther's eyes light up with admiration as he sees his soon-to-be wife in the stunning white gown. A collective hush falls over the room, filled with awe at the bride's radiant presence.

The atmosphere shifts to one of joy and celebration as Sloane takes graceful steps, a bouquet of flowers cradled in her hands.

As the group begins to head outside, y/n takes a deep breath and walks next to Faith. The sudden appearance of y/n catches everyone by surprise. Jaws drop in shock as they register her presence. Five stands still, a mixture of disbelief and shock on his face. Luther's expression darkens with anger upon seeing y/n, realizing she wasn't invited to the wedding.

Luther's anger is palpable as Sloane notices his furrowed brows and stern expression. Sensing the tension, Sloane takes a deep breath and addresses Luther, "Luther, let's not ruin our special day with unnecessary drama. I know y/n's presence is unexpected, but Faith explained that she's trying to change for the better."

Luther, still visibly displeased, grumbles, "Sloane, this is our wedding day. I don't want any disruptions or drama. Why is she even here? She wasn't invited."

Sloane puts a hand on Luther's arm, trying to calm him, "Faith is her friend, and she wanted to support her. I believe people can change, Luther. Let's not make a scene; it's our wedding day, after all."

Luther sighs, reluctantly accepting Sloane's perspective. "Alright, Sloane. I won't make a scene, but I'm worried about Five. You know how he's been since... everything."

Sloane nods understandingly, "I get it, Luther. Let's just hope for the best. It's our wedding day, and I don't want any negativity. We'll deal with whatever comes our way, okay?"

Luther gives a hesitant nod, realizing that today is about celebrating their love, not dwelling on past issues.

As Klaus begins officiating the ceremony, y/n feels the weight of Five's gaze lingering on her. Trying to focus on the joyous occasion, she diverts her attention toward the front where Luther and Sloane stand, exchanging vows and promises of love. However, the tension in the air remains palpable.

Faith notices y/n's unease and gives her a supportive nudge. "You can do this. Just stay calm," she whispers.

Y/n takes a deep breath, nodding in response.

As the cheers subside, Klaus pronounces Luther and Sloane married, and the couple seals their vows with a kiss. Applause and joyous shouts fill the air, celebrating the union of two souls. The wedding party starts to disperse, heading back inside the venue.

Y/n and Faith find a table and take their seats, surrounded by the celebratory atmosphere. Despite the positive energy, y/n can't shake the awareness of Five's gaze on her.

As y/n and Faith sit at the table, surrounded by the post-wedding celebration, Faith nudges y/n gently and suggests, "You should talk to Five, you know. It seems like he's avoiding you, and you don't want things to stay like this, right?"

Y/n sighs, running a hand through her hair, "Yeah, but I have no idea how to approach him. Every time I look at him, he seems so... distant. I don't even know if he wants anything to do with me anymore."
