Because Mom Wasn't Enough

The stars on your ceiling they glow but not for you

Jaime's POV

"No." Tony whispered. Jessica gasped.

"What?" The priest asked. Tony sighed and looked up.

"I said, no. Jessica, I'm sorry, but I can't marry you." Oh no! His nerves must have gotten to him. I tried to reach out to him, but Vic held my arm.

"What!? Why not!?" Jessica cried as tears started to well up in her eyes.

"Beacause, I'm in love with someone else. And I can't do that to you."

"W-Who?" Jessica asked between sobs. Tony turned to face Mike, Vic and I. He put his hands on my hips.

"Jaime Preciado." The room erupted in gasps, and shouts from angry relatives. I however, was in shock. Tony was in love with me? No. Nope nope nope. No, I am not the reason Tony's wedding just fell apart in front of my eyes. "Jaime, I've never felt this way about anyone...let alone another guy. But I haven't been able to stop thinking about you since the morning I woke up with you in my bed. I know you don't feel the same way...but I just had to tell you." There were more angry comments but I just stared at Tony. Why? Why did he have to tell me? He knew I didn't feel the same way, so why did he tell me? Maybe, he had some hope that I liked him too? Well, that was just wishful thinking. Or, maybe it wasn't...? Tony dropped his head and let go of me. "I'm sorry..." He said. No! Don't be sorry! I lifted his chin and pressed my lips to his. After a moment of confusion, he kisssed me back and I held him close.

"I love you too, Tony." There were boo's and yelling all through the room, until it finally quieted down.

"Awwww!" I heard. Tony and I broke away from each other's faces and looked to the front row where Jo was holding a hand to her heart. She had an adoring expression on her face until she realized we were staring at her. "Sorry! Ruined the moment...continue." Jessica and most of her side of the family had stormed out and was probably on their way back home by now. Tony's family though, had stayed. Most seemed to be in shock, almost as shocked as I was.

"Wanna be my boyfriend?" Tony asked as he wrapped and arm around my waist. I grinned at the thought of dating Tony Perry.

"Only if you promise to never skip out on me." I responded. He kissed my cheek.

"I promise." He purred in my ear.

"Um...ahem?" Vic chirpped from beside us. We turned to see a very confuzed Vic, and Mike's jaw was on the floor. "When were you planning on telling us about...this?" Vic waved his hands around between us, Mike still silent. I shrugged.

"I guess as soon as we became a 'this'." I said passively.

"We never really hid anything from you guys...it kind of just happened..." Tony said. "A-Are you two okay with this?" He sounded nervous. Gosh, that didn't even come to mind. What if Mike and Vic were like, homophobic or something? Vic visibly relaxed and grinned.

"Of course we're okay with it." He said. My grin stretched across my whole face and I turned and kissed my boyfriend. Wow, I never thought I would do something like that. Come to think of it, this is all really new to me, and Tony for that matter. We'll be faced with a lot of new...things... This might be a little awkward for a while.

"Wait so you? And you? Are now a you? And we didn't...? And she didn't...? And now you're...? Huugh." Mike fell backwards and collided with the floor with a thud.

"Drummer down!" Jo said. Oh, I forgot she was here... She came over and stood in front of us with a cheeky grin on her face. Then she smooshed Tony and I together in a hug.

"Uh, guys? I almost just got married to some girl I don't really love, and started dating the bassist in our band. I'm in a super uncomfortable suit that doesn't even match, and I'm starving. Can we go get food?" Tony asked. We all laughed.

"Wait, why don't we just raid the food that we were supposed to get at the reception party thing?" Jo asked as she and Vic tried to revive Mike.

"Sounds good to me!" I said. We headed back to the hotel to change into more comfortable clothes. Tony and I may or may not have been making out the whole way... Once we got back we walked up to our room, but once we got out of the elevator, we were faced with a devastated Jessica. She was still in her wedding dress and everything. The only difference was that her make-up was smudged, and she was sobbing. She pulled her packed up suitcase behind her and stopped when she saw us.

"Jessica, I--"

"No! Shut up Tony! I loved you and you backed out of our wedding! How could you do that to me!? I thought you cared about me!" She swatted his arm until he took her hands.

"Jessica, I do care about you. I just realized that I'm not in love with you. I could never keep up a false marriage when I'm in love with someone else. That's not fair to either of us. I do care about you, just not in the same way as I care about Jaime...I'm so sorry I messed this up for you." She pulled out of his grasp and entered the elevator.

"Your tie and buttons were all wrong anyway." She muttered as the doors closed. Tony sighed and I put and arm on his shoulder.

"Sorry you had to do that, Babe." I said. Tony looked back at me and smiled.

"I'm not. Now I don't feel as bad about liking you." He told me. "And I love the pet name thing." He giggled the cutest little giggle I've ever heard as we walked back to our room.
