I'll Stay Till Sunrise || Jolex

All of me

I give each pin holding the front of my light brown hair out of my face, a nudge to make sure they stay in place and brush a stray curl over my shoulder before taking three steps back from the mirror. I smile while admiring the person standing in front of me. I hardly recognise myself. My flowing blue dress is much fancier than anything I usually wear. 

Too focussed on the mirror I fail to notice the door open and close as someone walks in. The clatter of stuff falling from the table in the corner of the dressing room makes me spin around in surprise. My eyes widen as I take in the blonde haired girl with a puddle on spilt orange juice around her shoes. 

"Robin be careful!" I yell at my ten year old little sister. She has had her beautiful white and gold dress on for two minutes and has already managed to almost spill orange juice all over it. "The ceremony starts in five minutes, there's no time for a wardrobe change!"

"I didn't mean to, stop yelling at me!" She shouts, her brown eyes blazing with anger.

"I'm just telling you to be careful! Geez, you don't need to act like a toddler having a temper tantrum."

"Shut up, Brooklyn!" 

I stand in the front row with my aunts: Anna, Meredith, Amelia and my dad's sister Amber. The music changes and the room grows quiet in anticipation of the bride. Friends and family turn their heads in union to face the end of aisle. A smile creeps across my face as my mother emerges into sight, escorded by my uncle Link. Robin, the flower girl, slowely makes it up to where I'm standing and takes her place beside me.

"See, I told you I wouldn't trip over my feet." She wispers. 

"I know, now shhh."

We watch in silence as our parents say their vows. A tiny tear roles down Mom's cheek and Dad wipes it away gently. Applause erupts across the room as the bride and groom kiss. A grin spreads on my face. Maybe the third time really is a charm, maybe this time is forever.

(Jo's pov)

This wasn't my first wedding. Well, it wasn't even my first wedding to this man. I chuckle at the thought. Three times I've said yes to Alex Karev. Third time better be a charm 'cause I'm not doing this again.

Our bodies sway to the music as one. Alex's cheek is rested against mine while my arms are wrapped around his shoulders for dear life. Perhaps Amelia was right about these heels being way too high, one wrong move and I'll tumble to the ground for sure.

What would I do without your smart mouth?
Drawing me in, and you kicking me out
You've got my head spinning, no kidding, I can't pin you down

My husband's breath tickles as he brings his mouth closer to my ear. "What are you smiling about?"

What's going on in that beautiful mind?
I'm on your magical mystery ride
And I'm so dizzy, don't know what hit me, but I'll be alright

"You,"

My head's under water
But I'm breathing fine
You're crazy and I'm out of my mind

"me,"

'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections

"our kids."

Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning

"Us." I wisper back, leaving soft kisses down his cheek. 

'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, oh

He gently moves his head from its resting spot and brings his lips to mine. "I love you, Jo Karev, with every fiber in my body. And I promise to never, ever hurt you like I did, ever again. I can't live without you-"

How many times do I have to tell you
Even when you're crying you're beautiful too
The world is beating you down, I'm around through every mood

"-when you aren't around I can't breathe."

You're my downfall, you're my muse
My worst distraction, my rhythm and blues
I can't stop singing, it's ringing, in my head for you

"You're my other half and I'll be damned if I lose you again."

My head's under water
But I'm breathing fine
You're crazy and I'm out of my mind

I let out a small giggle. "That's so unbelievably cheesy, Jerk."

'Cause all of me

"Oh shut up, Princess."

Loves all of you

And that's a wrap. 

Yay it's finally over. I'm so so sorry for this cheesy, horrible story. I had so many stuff planned. For example, jolex try dating, izzie drama, actually giving Anna a storyline, etc,.. But I lost motivation. 
I'm thinking about making a collection of oneshots based on Jo's passed with Paul. And I might dive into Anna's damage too (it'll still be Jo/Brooke centered). For some reason I'm obsessed with Jo's abusive ex storyline.

Anyway, I kinda like how this chapter turned out unlike the rest of this story. Thank you so much for sticking with me throughout this story!!
