Edward's pov
We have been good friends with Aryan ever since he started dating Pat, so he chose us as his groomsmen. As I stood by the alter, I started scanning the room to find that 1 face I have been looking for but I can't see her in the crowd. 'She didn't show up at the rehearsal dinner, Could it be that she RSVP'd no? But how could she do that she was literally family with Pats and Beth!' Just then I was pulled out from my thoughts when the flower girl walked scattering the rose petals, then the bridesmaids entered and then there she was walking down the aisle with her soft scared eyes, yet confident posture like a queen she walks! She looked breathtakingly beautiful yet something was amiss about her, I kept gazing at her waiting for her to look at me so I could flash her a smile but she locked eyes with Jay and kept it that way the entire time. The wedding happening in front of me was long forgotten as I kept gawking at her looking at them in awe while her eyes twinkled holding Beth's hand. A pang of jealousy hit me feeling the void in my heart, seeing how she is so close with them and not me who once held a special part in her arms. Aloud applause erupted pulling me out of my reverie. As the reception started, I hung out by the bar counter with a glass of scotch while I watched her greet people, every time she turned around it felt like she was deliberately ignoring me. Just when I was straightening my tux, preparing myself to go approach her, Jay walked up to her and said something which made her giggle. They walked up to the Dance floor, disappointed I turned around and looked for someone to dance because I have decide not to let that woman tell or show me how I should feel! I found Beth talking to Pats' brother so I walked up to her and ask for a dance, she took my hand and I walked her to the dance floor. As we danced my eyes refused to stop looking at her when Beth spoke taking my attention,
"Don't do anything stupid please, we have got her back after so long. Please don't mess this up for me or Pat!" I looked at her shocked 'Why does she think I will mess it up! I am not the same person anymore! why does no one have faith me?' I recovered from my shock and pretended like I didn't know what she was talking, "What are you talking about?" She shot me a fake glare but concern was written all over her face, "I know you must have a lot to talk about, but today is neither the day or the place!" The music changed so I twirled her without answering and grabbed Kayleigh in my arms, I observed her face swaying her but she didn't even open her eyes to look at me! My anger got the best of me and before I knew it she ran away once again, leaving me alone in the middle of dance floor. I sighed and looked around to find Beth and Jay standing by our table shooting me questioning look, I walked over to them when Jay said to Beth, "You owe me 200 bucks, I only take cash!" Beth pulled out some cash from her purse and handed him cash while I asked, "What is all this about?" Beth rolled her eyes, "Thanks to you, she left without talking to us. Now how will we see her again?" Jay looked at the table and picked up a clutch and checked it out while I glared at them, "I can't believe you placed a bet on me again!" while Jay cut me off, "Look, It belongs to Kay!" He fished out a phone and driver's license I extended my hand, "Give me, I'll give it to her." Beth came in between me and Jay placing her palm on my chest, "You made her cry like 5 mins ago, do you really think she will let you anywhere near you?" she signed between her and Jay, "We don't want to loose our best friend AGAIN just because you can't learn on how to talk to women!" Jay nodded in agreement, "She is right, you blew off your only chance. Now I am not letting you anywhere near her!" I was taken back by their words but I was in no place to argue so as soon as the newly weds left, we also said farewell and headed our own ways!
Kayleigh's Pov
I sped off from the venue and stopped my car in the middle of nowhere, I got down from the car and let out a scream, crying as much as I could. I sobbed like never before, I sobbed like there was no tomorrow, screamed like no one was hearing me yet everyone was hearing me. Ever since I found out I was pregnant, I haven't cried a single tear for him. The heartache kept on growing inside me and I could do nothing about it, seeing him again today brought back all those feelings which where deep down in the deep dark corner of my heart. After my tears dried down and breathing got even, I sat back in the car wiped the now dry tears and drove home. I stopped outside my house and looked for my clutch 'oh crap! I forgot my clutch again', I went to the house and rang the door bell. A sleepy Sam opened the door for me with Haley in her arms. I grabbed Haley in my arms and Sam went in her room to get some sleep, I was grateful that she didn't ask me any questions. I cooed Haley in my arms, a couple of tears escaped my eyes, "Cupcake you won't believe what happened today, I met your daddy! He looked handsome as ever, as douce-y as ever-" Haley giggled as I spoke and just then there was a thud, I turned around to see from where the noise came and there they stood, mouth wide open in shock. I looked at them in shock/fear as I asked or more like rambled, "What are you guys doing here?" Jay walked towards me, he cupped Haley's face making her giggle and he took her in his arms. I recovered from my shock and invited them in, "Sorry, please have a seat!" Beth came inside and took a seat on the couch. "you have a lot of explanations to do, I am very disappointed with you. You didn't even care to tell us about her, We had every right to know about her, we are her godmothers and godfather. Are we nothing to you? How can you hide such important detail from me? " Beth started sobbing and Jay had tears in his eyes but he chose not to say a word. Jay broke the silence which now clouded us, "I knew about what happened between you and Eddie 2 years ago but I didn't have any clue that you were expecting. Look at her, she is so adorable she looks very much like him. Tell me does she deserve all this? Why didn't you tell me about her?" Beth was shocked with his confrontation and at the same time very upset about it. I held Beth's hand to comfort her while Jay spoke, "I am sorry Beth, I didn't tell you anything. It was not my place to tell you and they were pretty messed up the last time I spoke to her!" Beth wiped her tears with a nod and hugged me tightly. We remained still in that hug for sometime before pulling away, Jay looked at me with regret and after sitting next to me he asked me the most dreadful question. "Does he know?" I wiped my tears as I shook my head with a brave face while Beth still hadn't recovered from the shock. Jay looked at Haley again, pecked on her forehead and hugged her firmly. A drop of tear fell from his eyes, "I wish I could have changed things for you, she doesn't deserve to go through all this and nor do you! Even after I told you so many times, you never listened to me. I wish I would have kept him away from you. I am really sorry Leigh." I shook my head, "Jay please you don't have to be sorry, it is not your fault at all. Haley is the best thing ever happened to me, I am blessed to have her." They both exclaimed in joy "Haley!" As they remembered I had once told them I will name my daughter Haley after the Haley's comet. Beth took her in her arms and pecked her forehead hugging her. She sat on the couch and asked me, "Kay, care to tell me the story. I swear I am gonna kick Eddie's ass once I see him!" I got scared by her statement, she is worst when someone pisses her off. She had once scared the hell out of Edward and we both can't ever forget about it. "Beth please you are not going to do anything, it's not his fault. Whatever happened between us was our choice, and once people have interfered which made things lot worse for me. Promise me you both, you won't tell him about Haley!" Jay and Beth nodded while Jay spoke, "We won't tell him anything Kay! I understand that it is not our place to tell him anything. But tell us what all happened between you two?" I sighed and agreed to tell them about what exactly happened but only after I tucked Haley in bed.
