Ben's POV
"Can we just go to the party? Please" I said. "But aren't you going after her?" Ryan asked. "No, she's not going to let me in. And this is all my fault" I replied and held the ring tight in my hands. "Look Ben she's gonna forgive you. Don't worry" Jessica said. "No she won't. I have never seen her this mad at me" I replied and looked down. "He's right. I haven't seen her this mad at anyone in her whole entire life! And I grew up with her!" Evie said. "Can someone talk to her please? Just.... I get it if she wants to divorce me but can you just talk to her for me please. You know I didn't mean that right?" I said. "I'll go. Just go to the party. I promise Mal with apologize" Evie told me. I nodded. We walked out to the limo.
Mal's POV
I ran up to my old room and I locked the door. I sobbed on the floor. I heard a knock on the door. "Go away" I yelled. "M, its me" Evie said. I opened the door. Evie hugged me. "I don't understand. Why would he marry me if he never wanted to?" I cried. "Mal, Ben loves you. He never meant that. He would never say that about you and you know that" Evie explained. "No I know you are just saying that so I can apologize to him. I am not going to apologize and I know he meant it!" I said. "Well at least come to the party. You don't have to sit next to him" she said. "Fine" I sighed. "Now let me fix you up" she said. We went to my makeup station. She fixed my makeup and hair. She grabbed my heels that were on the floor and handed them to me. "How are we gonna get there? We have no limo" Evie said. "We'll use my magic" I replied. She nodded. I put my heels on. "Ready?" She asked. I nodded. We held hands and I transported us to the restaurant. We got to the restaurant and we were about to enter the room. The DJ was asking some people some questions. I stayed at the door because he was talking with Ben. "So um... Where's the Queen?" The DJ asked. "Well... I'd rather not talk about it" he replied. "What happened?! We saw some cute pictures of you earlier" the DJ said. "I said I don't want to talk about it. Now please no more questions" Ben replied. I looked at Evie. "If no one's going to talk when I get there... I'm leaving and I'm going back home. " I said. She nodded sadly. We walked in and everyone was looking at us. Evie was going towards the table that our friends were sitting at but I took her hand and went the opposite way. We sat down at an empty table. Everyone was still looking at us. Ben and I's eyes locked. I had tears forming in my eyes. It was dead silent. "You know what. Since there's no music and no one's talking. I'm leaving" I said and got up from my seat. "M" she said but I didn't listen. I walked a little faster. Someone grabbed my arm. "I said I didn't want to hear it Ben! Now let me go!" I yelled. "Mal I didn't mean it. I would never say that" he said. "Then why did you say it?!" I yelled at him. He didn't answer. "That's what I thought. Now leave me alone. I gave you your wish to never marry me. Let me be" I yelled and pushed him. I ran out of the room with tears falling from my face.
Ben's POV
This is really bad. I can't even get her to talk to me. "Can you just get on with the party?!" I yelled and ran after Mal. She ran outside where everyone was waiting in line to get inside. This is gonna be interesting, fighting in front of the people. "Mal!" I yelled. She turned around. Everyone was watching. "Do you not get it?!! Do you not know how much I'm hurting inside? And seeing you just makes me hurt even more!" She yelled. "Mal I was just angry. I didn't mean anything" I told her. "The fact that you made a decision for me is the least of my problems. What hurts the most, is that you said you didn't want to marry me. It feels like my heart is being ripped open and cut into millions of pieces! Do you know how that feel?!" She said crying. "Mal I never wanted to make you feel that way" I said walking towards her slowly. "Mal please just listen to me" I said. "Fine you have 10 seconds to say what you have to say" she said and started counting. She looked down. I cut her off and kissed her for the remaining 5 seconds.
Mal's POV
"I love you. I always have. I would never say something like that. I was really mad and I wasn't thinking. Please forgive me" he said. I looked up into his eyes. "I forgive you —" I started saying but he cut me off by hugging me. "—only for that though. It still doesn't change the fact that you think you can make a girls decisions" I said and walked back inside. "But..." he said and sighed. He walked back in following me. I walked back in the room with my head down and Ben came in a few seconds later. I went to the table everyone was sitting at. Ben sat at the opposite side of me at the table. I didn't look at him but I know he was looking at me. "I have to do something..." He whispered to himself and got up. He went on stage. "Boys" he said into the mic and the boys went up. Well his team, since he can't walk properly. Jay and Carlos went to lock the doors so I can't get out. "Mal, please" he begged. I still didn't look at him. Everyone got up and went in the middle of the room. Evie pulled me up and pushed me to the middle of the circle. Ben started singing 'Did I Mention' to me. I looked down. He came up to me and lifted my chin to make me look at him. "And did I happen to say, I dream of you everyday..." He said really close to my face. I tried getting out of the circle but no one was letting me out.
A few minutes later...
He sang the last verse and walked up to me. "Mal, please, I didn't mean any of that. I know its not right a—" but I cut him off by crashing my lips onto his. There was cheering going on. We broke away and he slid my ring back on my finger. I smiled. He hugged me. "Ahh" he said. "Sorry, forgot about that" I said. I kissed his cheek. "We'll be right back" I whispered to Evie and we got out of the room. There was couches right outside the room and we sat down. "I'm sorry for over exaggerating" I said. He took my hands. "You didn't trust me. I'm sorry for everything I said. I was just mad at you for the whole Harry thing" he said. "But you're right about that. I should only be naked in front of you... Wow that's a sentence I never thought I'd say" I said and we laughed. "I actually thought you were going to divorce me" Ben said nervously. "Well I did think of it" I replied honestly. "I love you" he said. "I love you too" I replied and he kissed me. "You do know that I'm leaving in a week right?" I told him. "Yeah" he said. "But at least I'll be back for your birthday!" I said and he smiled. "I thought you weren't going to be" he replied. "Uh no! I would never miss my husband's 23rd birthday" I said and kissed him. "And I would never miss yours" he said. He stood up and stuck his hand out. I took it and we walked back in the room.Hope you liked this chapter!
