Waterfall (Lawson fanfic)

Crash the wedding

Nat's pov:

"Joel." I whisper and run over to him, engulfing him in a hug.

Everybody gasps and tuts, but I don't care.

"Where have you been?" I ask him.

"Waiting for you. Sorry I didn't find you sooner." He says.

"I should be the one apologising. I blocked you out." I say.

I pull away from him and walk over to Matt.

"Matt, I'm sorry but I still have feelings for Joel, you know I do. You deserve someone so much better than me. But thank you for all the memories." I say and hug him.

"It's okay, I'm sorry it didn't work out between us." He says.

I pull away and take a deep breath before walking over to mum.

"Mum, I know you don't approve of Joel and that was why I couldn't marry him. But I'm not leaving Joel again. I love him mum, and you need to respect that. I'm giving you a choice. Accept Joel, or I'm gone from your life. And I won't be coming back." I say.

She looks from me to Joel.

"Well then Joel, welcome to the family." She says.

I grin.

"Come on Joel, we better go." I say and grab his hand.

We walk out of the church together, ignoring the disgusted chatter.

We get outside and Joel turns to me.

"Nat, you look beautiful. I just had to say that." He says.

I blush.

"You look good in a suit Mr Peat. At least you made an effort." I say and he laughs.

He cups my face in his hands and presses his lips to mine.

"Joel! Where have you been..." Georgia trails off when she sees me.

"Nat!" She says and runs to hug me.

"Hi Georgia." I say.

She pulls away and looks at my dress.

"Love your dress! Joel, did you crash her wedding?" Georgia asks Joel.

"Uh...yeah." He admits, scratching the back of his neck.

"Yes mate!" Ryan shouts and 'man hugs him' while me and Georgia laugh.

"Right, let's get you out of this dress Nat." Joel says, grabbing my hand and guiding me upstairs.

He helps me take my dress off and hands me one of his t-shirts and pair of jogging bottoms to wear.

"Nat, I'm so glad you're back. Don't ever leave again." He says to me.

"I won't. I promise." I say and he kisses me passionately.
