Forgetting yesterday

(Chapter forty-one)

Chapter forty-one.

"What brought Kate around today?" Niall questioned as he climbed into the bed beside me, "Oh, she was just worried" I replied, not boring Niall with the details. "About what?" Niall seemed interested, I laughed slightly, "Alfie and her went to the mall today, and Alfie bumped into an old friend, I think Kate called her Nina?" I paused, "Anyway, Kate was just worried because she claimed Alfie looked at her lustfully, but I told her she was just imagining things, I mean Alfie loves Kate" I blabbered, Nialls facial expression had changed from interested, to worried. "Niall? What's up?" I questioned looking at his worried face. "Am...Its nothing", he lied, "Niall, don't lie to me" I warned and he exhaled loudly. "Nina is Alfie's first love, they were together when I moved to Orlando, and they only broke it off because she didn't want him to wait around for her return", Niall spoke, and I had become intrigued in their love story, "Why did she leave?" I questioned eagerly, "Her parents are Irish and her Nan had fallen ill, they had to leave to take care of her Nan for her last few memorable months. Alfie was shattered, he didn't leave his house for about four months after Nina had left, if I'm honest I didn't think he would ever move on" Niall stopped, "And he hasn't?" I finished his sentence, my face dropped and I felt my guts tighten, what am I going to tell Kate?

"You cant tell Kate!" Niall warned me, as if he had read my mind, "Niall, I have to, she's my best friend, I cant leave her in the dark in a situation as serious as this.. This Saturday, she is going to get married to a man, who doesn't love her" I panicked. "Leigh, please, don't tell her, you'll ruin Alfies life-" "He should have thought about that before he decided to fall for his teenage lover, two days before his wedding!" I explained to Niall. "If Daniel walked through the door right now, who would you choose?" Niall questioned, "Niall Daniel was murdered, he wont be walking through the door anytime soon" I spoke, hurt by the fact that he would even think about asking that question. "Well if it was possible, if he could, who would you choose?" Niall questioned once again. My eyes began to tear slightly, "Niall, stop it! I'm not going to make that decision!" I snapped at him. "Then please, Leigh, don't expect Alfie to make it either" Niall spoke calmly.

I sniffled and climbed out of the bed, walking out of the bedroom to the landing. "Leigh?" Niall called getting out of the bed and walking after me. I kept my back turned to him, but I could tell he was staring towards me. "I'm so sorry Leigh" he spoke walking towards me and wrapping his arms around me, "I didn't mean to upset you, I just wanted to make a point", he explained as he held me in a tight embrace and allowing my tears fall onto his chest. "If it means anything, I wouldn't care what choice you'd make, as long as you were happy" He spoke sweetly, making me smile slightly. "C'mon, lets go back to bed" He said as he swept me off my feet and carried me bridal style to the bedroom, I laughed uncontrollably.

(The wedding)

"Niall?" I yelled from the bedroom, before I heard him rush up the stairs, "What is it?" He spoke as he stood in the doorway. "Can you please tie my dress?" I questioned moving my hair to one side. He stood behind my back and smiled slightly, "You're beautiful" he claimed, making me smile. I fixed my long, brown, hair, perfecting the curls. I turned only to notice Niall was still staring at me. "What are you still doing here? You are supposed to be at Alfie's by now!" I shooed him. "I'm on my way, boss" he spoke as he leaned down to kiss my lips. "Ill see you there" He spoke before leaving.

Just as Niall left my phone began to ring, it was Kate warning mr that the carpool will be around in the next half hour to collect me. I quickly applied another layer of mascara to my already perfected makeup and grabbed my clutch bag, putting my purse and lip gloss inside it. I heard the doorbell ring and knew it was my carpool.

(Kate's P.O.V)

I stood at the alter, starring towards Alfie as the priest blabbered words of praise, to Alfie and I. Alfie didn't smile, and it made me wonder if everyday after today, would be the same.

"If there is anyone who objects, speak now or forever hold your secret" The priest spoke, Leigh seemed uncomfortable as he spoke, and I wanted to know why. "Then we will continue" the priest spoke, once he saw nobody object phoney 'Love' Alfie and I shared.

Just as he went to continue, the doors of the church swung open. The entire church, jumped turning there head in shock. "Kate!" a familiar voice called, I turned my head to see Brody, he stood at the doorway of the church, wearing a tight, white t-shirt, a leather jacket and dark jeans. "Brody? What are you doing here?" I questioned as I stepped off the alter and made my way towards him.

We stood in the middle of the isle, "Don't do it Kate. Don't marry him" I basically pleaded. He stared into my eyes and, perhaps it seems cliché but, I saw all the reasons why I should walk away, I fell for Brody all over again.

"Look, I know I've been a fool, I know I've walked away, and I'm sorry, sorry I put you through what I did, sorry I made you believe I didn't love you and sorry for doing what I am doing now. I cant lose you, and it took me this long to realise it but, I love you and I always have, you cant marry him, Kate, if you do, Ive lost my entire world." Brody began to pour his heart out. "I guess what Im trying to say is, take me back, I know Ive been an ass, but I promise you, Ive changed, and Im willing to be the best I can be if it means Im with you"

The crowd watched in anticipation for my reply, I stared toward Alfie who looked at Nina with a look of hope in his eyes. I turned back to face Brody who eagerly waited for me to say something. I faced the floor and slowly turned away from him, walking back to the alter. I hugged Alfie tightly before taking a step back and removing my engagement ring, placing it into his hand, "I'm sorry" I smiled before turning to face Brody once more.

His smile grew wide as I ran down the isle towards him, he swept me off my feet spinning me around. "I love you", I spoke before I pressed my lips harshly to his. From the moment our lips touched I felt complete, whole again, for the first time since he and I broke up.

"Ahem" I interrupted the gossiping crowds, "Um.. I know you guys came here today to celebrate with Alfie and I, but truth is, Alfie and I, we're not in love. I mean we thought we were, but I guess we didn't think hard enough. Ah, the reception is paid for, so please don't let it go to waist, we can celebrate the fact that we realised we didn't love each other before it was too late, am, thank you all for coming, I hope to see you after the church." I spoke a little shyly.

I made my way back to Brody, and he welcomed me with open arms. I didn't object to his tight embrace as I fit into his chest perfectly. He loosened his grip as he leaned down kissing my lips delicately. I scrunched my fist into a ball and hit Brody with as much force as possible. He pulled away from the kiss, "Ouch, what was that for?" He questioned, "You ruined my wedding!" I yelled in a sweet voice before pausing, "But somehow, I love you for it" I finished before smiling and leaning in for one last kiss. "C'mon you too, we better get to the reception" Leigh told us, as she walked passed us out of the church.
