Living With The Sidemen (A Sidemen Fanfiction)

Chapter 20

Cal and I haven't spoken in the last few days. Today is a very special day because today is JJ and Isabella's wedding! I'm not much for wearing dresses and being girly, but when one of my friends is getting married, I can't help but to be excited. Isabella and I have gotten exceptionally close. We talk to each other as much as we can are always in each other's room. It's almost the relationship Karmyn and I had. A smile tugged at my lips as I thought of her. Ever since that night in Boston, I thought of her almost daily. Me, Kay, and Freya were Isabella's bridesmaids and her sister, who I have not met, is her maid of honor. All of the Sidemen and both Cals were JJ's groomsmen and Deji was his best man. I was really excited for this wedding purely because I wanted to see everyone. It's been a while since we've all hung out really. I'm a little nervous about confronting Cal, but it's something I decided to do last night. No one else but Cal and I know about our dad's cancer, and I don't know when he plans on telling them. The house was quiet, something that rarely happened. The guys left early this morning for JJ's flat to get ready over there while us girls got ready over here. Usually, couples would wait a while to get married after the engagement, but they just couldn't wait. There was a knock on the front door and all eyes were on me. Technically, I was the only one who lived here, but they were over here all of the time. "Don't worry guys, I got it." I said sarcastically, getting up from my spot on the couch. We still had a while to get ready, so we were just chilling. I opened the door to be met with someone who looked almost identical to Isabella. "Hi. I'm Gabriella, Isabella's sister." She said, sending me a warm smile and extending her hand. I smiled and took her hand in line, shaking it. "Mackenzie." I said. She nodded. "I've heard loads about you." She said as I stepped to the side and let her in. "All good things I hope." I said. Before she could answer, the girls emerged from the living room. "Let's get ready! Shall we?!" Freya yelled, already beginning to run up the stairs. I forced a smile. This was a part I was also dreading.

     Three agonizing hours later, after a mental pep talk about getting into the dress, Freya battling me about doing my makeup, them finally letting me wear my hair down in loose waves, and a thirty minute argument about what shoes I was going to wear, we were on our way in a fashionable limousine that JJ had sent after us. Everyone looked beautiful, especially Isabella. She was so nervous though. After the long debate about my shoe crisis, they let me go in some new black and white Converse. It was very important to them that they were new so they wouldn't be dirty. But it wasn't like they were getting me to join the 'Heel Gang' as they called themselves after they all shoved a pair of heels in my face. A big reason of why I wouldn't wear heels is because of my height, I was tall enough as it was, and my leg, which was very exposed. We, sadly, had to leave Zeus to fend for himself for the few hours we would be gone. Levi was busy and couldn't watch him today. I invited him to the wedding, but he declined that offer as well. I sighed to myself as I felt the limo come to a stop. "This is it." I heard Isabella sigh beside me. I patted her knee reassuringly before we all piled out of the limo. Well, here goes nothing.

     "You look beautiful, by the way." Simon said as we danced to the slow song. I could feel eyes on me the entire time. Through out the entire wedding, people pointed at my leg and whispered, something I've grown used to. "I can feel my eyelashes when I blink. That's not normal." I said, blinking quickly. He chuckled. Freya just had to put false lashes on me. "Great choice in footwear." Simon said, looking down at my feet. "You wouldn't want me to be taller than you, would you?" I smirked. "Good point." He shrugged. The song ended and we pulled away from each other. I have yet to talk to Cal and I really didn't want to. Speak of the devil, that's him walking towards me now. "May I have this dance?" He held out a hand to me and another song started. Simon gave my hand a small squeeze before walking away, leaving me alone with my brother. "I'm sorry." He blurted out as we started dancing. I waited for him to continue. "I was just upset about Dad. I know that you shouldn't be the one apologizing." He said. I couldn't help but smile. I knew he'd come around. "Forgive me?" He asked before he twirled me around. "How could I not?" I asked. That was surprisingly way easier than I expected. "Okay okay. Everyone's happy everything's good. Now fuck off of my woman." Simon said, stepping in between Cal and I. Cal chuckled before walking away. "Jealous much?" I asked him, smirking. He shrugged. "Just can't help it." He said. I smiled. I looked around the room and spotted Isabella and JJ dancing, her head rested on his shoulder and his arms wrapped tightly around her. "They're so damn cute." I said, still smiling. "Who would've thought that JJ would've gotten marry before me and Josh?" Simon asked, admitting the sight with me. "You and Josh were going to get married?" I asked, examining his defined features as he watched them dance. "Not to each other!" He said, snapping his head at me. His eyes flicked up and down my face before his lips met mine. God, how I loved our kisses. I couldn't help but smile, breaking the kiss. Simon breathed out a chuckle and leaned his forehead against mine. "I love you." I whispered. "I love you too." He said, pecking my lips once more. "I think they're more of a sight then we are!" I heard JJ yelled. We pulled away from each other to see all eyes on us. My cheeks grew warm and Simon chuckled. I looked around the room, searching for familiar faces. Josh and Freya were standing next to each other, Freya's head on his shoulder, both of them gazing at us. Kay and Vik standing identical to Josh and Freya. Gabriella was standing in between the two couples, a hand to her chest. JJ and Isabella were both staring at us, waiting. Tobi and Ethan were to my right and Harry and Cal stood to my left. Callux was no where to be seen. Until I saw his head poke up above the crowd. He was standing on a table. At a wedding. "Keeping it classy, Callux." I said, pretending to make a small toast to him. "You know it!" He yelled, pointing at me. I turned to Simon and saw him examining the crowd too, a smile plastered on his face. I heard a few laughs throughout the crowd, making my smile widen, if that was even possible. This is where I belonged, and I couldn't be happier.
