More Than I Expected.

Chapter 20: Her wedding

a/n: okay, here's the last chapter. I feel so sad to end the story, thank you for all of those who have supported me throughout this ride! So, here's the chapter, I hope you enjoy the ending to More than I Expected..

The sunlight hit against the window, brightening up the hotel room. My eyes flickered open, realizing I wasn't in the bed I should be in. I shot up like a pop tart, and saw the other girls sleeping on the floor, or on the couch. My face formed to a small grin, last night was indeed fun. Candice decided to suprise me with a small bachelorette party right at her hotel room. Everyone was there, Ashley, Mickie, Lilian, and Maria. We ran around the hotel room, dancing to music, all kinds. Lillian brought some spanish hits, and we started singing karoke. We drank Margaritas, and took some shots. Then, we started cooling down, and sat to watch some movies. After, we partied more, sadly, there was no male stripper. If there was, Ms. Mickie James would have most likely gone crazy.

I ran a hand through my messy hair, and checked the time. It read "8:30" . Great, because of the partying, I only have two hours to get ready. We were getting married at 10:30 AM at the church. I was in West Newbury, Massachussetts. We all made it here two nights ago, and landed at the Mariott Hotel. I wasn't allowed to stay with Jeff, because the girls said it was bad luck to be with him before the Wedding. I thought it was bad luck to see the bride in her dress before the Wedding? I don't know anymore, I can't keep up with these supersitions anymore.

The girls stirred around on the floor, and I threw a pillow at Candice's head. "Wake up!"

"Mmm.." she groaned, rubbing her eyes.

"I'm getting married remember?" I screamed, causing all of the girls to wake up.

"Someone needs to learn how to use their inner voice." Maria commented, covering the sheets over her head.

"Sorry, I don't think that exists to me!" I exclaimed louder, getting up from the bed.

I began fixing it, and soon the other girls were beginning to walk around the hotelroom, gathering there things together.

"Excited girls?" I asked, with a content smile.

"Hell yeah, you're getting married in two hours!" Ashley clapped her hands together. "And we have to get ready!"

"I have everything here, I'm supposed to be at the Salon at nine." I said, taking out some clothes to wear. "I'm going to shower."

I entered the bathroom, and stripped off my clothes. I turned the faucet on, and waited for the water to become warm. When it did, I jumped in, and enjoyed the water hit my body, calming the nerves. I exited the shower, and put a towel over my body. I brushed my teeth, and began getting dressed. Some black sweatpants, and a white tanktop was all I wore, along with sneakers. I put my hair up in a messy bun, and quickly exited the shower. Fixing her sweatshirt, Candice glanced at me with a smile.

"The girls left to get ready." she concluded. "You know them, it will take them forever to get prepared."

A laugh came through my lips, and I nodded. "True, you ready to go?'"

"Lets head out, Bride to Be." she nicknamed, and the two of us left to the Salon.

We drove off to the Salon, and when we entered, the woman was sitting at the counter waiting for our arrival. I smiled, waving to her.

"Aubrey you're here! Come on we have to get you ready!" she jumped over the counter, and dragged me to the seat.

Meanwhile, Candice was getting her hair done by another women, Alycia. In my hands, was the tabloid magazine 'Star.' The magazine caught my attention when the front cover stated Britney Spears was appearing on some television series. I got to say, I feel so bad for the twenty six year old. I bet her life crumbled to pieces because of all the publicity brought to her at her young age. I loved her music, and to be honest, I still though.

"So, you still want your hair the way you told me months ago?" Janice asked me, clipping several locks of hair up.

"Yes, my mind hasn't changed." I replied, with a friendly tone.

"Okay, you're hair is going to look marvelous darling. Your man will definitly be head over heels for you." she stated with her million dollar grin.

"I can't wait to see the results." I smiled, and continued reading the interesting article.

"So, is Carly walking you down the aisle?" she began conversation, interrupting my reading time.

"Yeah he is."

"That's so great. He's such a sweet person." she commented. "Although he really does need a haircut."

"I know, I've tried convincing him into geting that afro trimmed." I agreed. "But he won't listen!"

"Trust me, you'll get him to get that thing cut one day."

"I hope so." I murmured, turning back to the magazine.

"Candice, how's it going over there?" I asked, when I heard laughs coming from across the room.

"I love this woman right here!" she chuckled, pointing at Alycia. "She is hilarious!"

"She's one a kind I tell you." Janice added, pointing at her with the curling iron. "Scary too."

"Thanks J.." Alycia said. "You're the greatest friend in the world."

"Darling, don't you think I already know that?" she boasted. "Now, shut up so I can finish Aubrey's hair."

This was indeed an interesting start to my morning. First I wake up with four girls sleeping in one room, and here I am, getting my hair and everything else done for my Wedding. I've waited for this day for pretty much a year, and its finally hear. After all the ups and downs, I actually made it. However, there's this feeling in my gut telling me not to go through with it. I bet its the jitters. Then again, someone won't leave my mind. I don't know whether its because of the guilt I feel, or something else.

third POV.

Jeff Hardy adjusted his tie, and saw someone sneak up behind him, wrapping their arms around his waist. He smirked slightly, and turned to face the Blonde Belle.

"Excited to marry that disgusting waist of space?" she asked, helping him out with the tie.

"Hell yeah, good thing about it is, I don't lose the one person who I really care about." he said, lifting her chin up. "You."

"Babe, you're the greatest!" she screeched, and her lips met with his for a strong kiss. She grabbed onto his neck, and he pulled her closer. A moan of pleasure came through his lips, as the former Playboy Cover Girl bit his bottom lip.

"You drive me crazy." he said in between kisses.

"Much more than her?" she said, trailing her lips to his neck.

"Of course babe, no one is better than you." he said, meeting her lips once again.

"Dude! Open the door!" the voice of Matt Hardy brought the attention of the two lovers.

"Get into the bathroom now!" he said in a low voice, and she did as followed.

"Hold on man, let me put some pants on." Jeff stalled, and took five seconds to make himself look nice.

"We don't have all day, you have a Church to get to bro!" he called out from the the other side of the door.

"Relax, I'm coming." he slightly laughed, and turned the knob, allowing his brother to enter the room.

"You look great man." Matt said, manly hugging his brother. "You ready to marry the woman of your life."

"Yeah, she'll be mine forever." Jeff smirked. "Is everyone at the Church?"

"People are starting to arrive, that's what Paul told me."

"...Cool, is it wrong to be nervous?"

Matt shook his head, patting his brother on the back. "No its perfectly normal to have jitters before heading getting married."

Jeff ran a hand through his perfectly combed hair, and sighed. "Should we get going to the Church?"

"Yes, now lets go Jefferey. You're all grown up. Dad wants to burst into tears." Matt said, and the two left the hotelroom. Jeff's mind went back to Torrie, she was still in the bathroom. He hoped she was eavesdropping, that way she would know they had left to the Church.

Third POV.

back at the Salon.

Candice blew on her newly painted french manicured nails, and smiled as Alycia put the finishing touches to her hair. ' California ' by Phantom Planet came through her jeans, catching her off guard. She carefully took her cellphone out, and clicked on the green button.

"Hello?" she greeted, waiting for a response. "Hello!"

"Candice is Randy." she heard his voice from the other line.

"Oh hey Rands, what's up?"

"Are you with Aubrey?"

"Yeah, do you want to talk with her?" she asked, staring at her friend.

" No, but I have something to tell you concerning her."

"Tell me now."

"Jeff is marrying her because all he wants is to get under John's skin. Candy, he doesn't love her. He's been cheating on her with Torrie."

Candice's eyes grew wide, and she felt her blood run hot. She couldn't believe what she was hearing.

"Please tell me you're joking with me."

"John and I went to confront him, and he told us everything. She can't marry Jeff."

Candice glanced at her Aubrey, she had a huge smile on her face, as she checked out her hair. The 'Go Daddy' sponsor didn't want to hurt her best friend, but she didn't want her to go through the biggest mistake of her life.

"Randy I don't know if she'll listen to me."

"Please try Candice.. John doesn't want to see her get married with that bastard, neither do I."

"Are you coming to the wedding?"

"I am, I don't know about John though. He's pretty pissed off."

"Listen, I'll try my best to get her to not marry him. She's going to be heartbroken Randy. Look, I'll see you at the Church."

"Okay, thanks Candy see you then.

She flipped her phone off, and bit her bottom lip. She didn't know how she would tell Aubrey, but it had to be soon enough. She climbed out of her seat, and went over to Aubrey. She was speaking with Janice. Candice poked the brunette's arm, capturing her attention.

"Hey Candy, you're hair looks great!" Aubrey complimented. "Like my hair?"

"It looks beautiful." she mumbled, and cleared her throat. "Uh, are you sure you want to do this?"

Aubrey stared at her confused, and rose an eyebrow. "What are you talking about?"

"I'll come out with this, and say it." she figured. "Jeff is marrying you to get on someone's nerves. He's really in love with Torrie."

Aubrey shook her head, denying the fact. "No, he loves me. He told me, that's why we're getting married. Whoever said such a lie has problems."

"Aubrey, I'm serious. I really do think they're telling the truth."

"Candice how can you believe them?" she practically yelled. "They're trying to ruin my Wedding Day. Look, I know you don't like Jeff, but I love him."

"I understand that bu-"

"I'm marrying him at 10:30, and that's it." she cut her off, and stared at her manicured nails.

"Fine, lets go get you in the Wedding Dress."

Candice put her head down in shame. She felt like she just lost a tough match, and now she didn't know how she would face the music with the Legend Killer. she knw he was telling the truth, but Aubrey was just too stubborn to understand. It was no use, Aubrey wasn't going to change her mind, she would marry Jeff once and for all.

First Person: Aubrey's POV.

My body was covered by a beautiful Wedding Dress perfectly showing off the right curves. The gold lace wrapped around the waist, and the perfect bow was constructed by Candice. She obviously wasn't in the greatest mood after the small chat we had at the Salon. I don't understand it anymore. She's excited for the Wedding, but doesn't want me to get married now? She was my best friend, and the explanation she gave me, did seem pretty truthful. No, Aubrey, stop, think about Jeff .He loves you remember? He was the man you are going to spend the rest of your life with, no one else. He's not the only one on my mind, the other man is. As much as I try to block him out of my mind, it never works. He stuck there, and I don't see why. I wonder if he'll be at the Wedding, I don't think so.

"You're getting married." Candice came into my thoughts, and she handed me the diamond tiara which combined as a veil. I brightly smiled, and held the tiara in my hands. In one hand, the ring was standing there. My engagement one, it was time to take it off. I've had it on for a year, and not once did I take it off, with the exception of showering.

"Candy in a matter of minutes I'll be walking down that aisle." I said, staring at the huge mirror in front of me.

"...I know." she mumbled, putting her head down. Something is up with her, the mood she was in before had a happier vibe to it.

"What's wrong?" I asked her, and she stared at me.

"Don't marry him please." she repeated for the second time today. "Your making a mistake Aubrey."

Sighing, I shook my head at her. Why was she doing this to me now? I want to be in a greay mood for my Wedding, but she's bringing it down. I know she doesn't mean to.

"I'm marrying him." I simply told her, and when I began to walk back to the mirror, she gripped onto my arm.

"He still loves you. The man you're supposed to be with." she slowly said.

Him, I haven't spoken with him in forever. It makes me feel empty most times. He was the man I spilled my heart out to, and now I can't do that anymore. What was I going to do without him? Soon, it would be over, the thought of being his. I will be Jeff's permanently. That's what I want...right?

"Its over with him." I mumbled, escaping her grip.

"That's what you think." she came over to me. "I can't change your mind. So, let me be supportive like I said."

A smile came across my face, and she put the tiara on my head, the veil falling over my face. That made the outfit complete, I looked just like a Princess. My dress fit perfectly, my brunette hair was down, but some clipped up with a diamond clip Janice gave me. The lose soft curls complimented the outfit even more. The veil was beautiful, my favourite of all. This is the day I wished my mother was with me. She could have been helping me get ready for my special day.

"Mom, I'm wearing a dress." I whispered, staring up at the ceiling, meanwhile, Candice was applying some lipgloss.

My heart palpitated fast, it was time to walk down that aisle. Deep breathes came out of me, and I tried calming myself. My stomach dropped, and I felt like I was going to faint right there. I hate nervous breakdowns. Candice came to me, and gave me a hug.

"Go out there, and strut your stuff." she smiled. "I love you, best friend."

"Thank you so much Candy." I thanked her, and she nodded.

She left the room, and I began pacing up and down, several times. I don't know if I can do this, my mind is going crazy. I hate this feeling ,I hope I never have it again in my life. Good Job Aubrey, you just jinxed yourself.

"Ok. its now or never." I said to myself, and from the table, I grabbed the bouquet of gold and white flowers.

I turned the knob, and left the room. I slowly walked toward the door, and saw the Church was full, and the piano was being played. Another deep breath came out of me, and I closed my eyes for a moment. My time is now.

The traditional Piano tune played, and I stepped to the front of the door, where everyone finally saw me. They were all standing, eyes glued to me. This time, I was happy everyone was staring at me so much. I was met by Carly, right at the front, and he held onto my arm.

"I love you Cousin." he mumbled, as we went down the aisle.

We reached Jeff, and he had a smile on his face. The priest stood there, holding the bible in his hands. Carly and I stood in front of him, and Jeff soon next to me.

"Who Gives this woman to this man?" the Priest started, pointing us out.

"I am." Carly announced, raising my veil up, and he kissed my cheek.

Jeff stood across from me, as we faced each other. I smiled at him, and he did the same. I scanned the room, and saw no signs of him. Every one I had invited from the WWE was here, except for him. Wait, since when did I invite Torrie? She was sitting in the front row, watching us with her piercing green eyes.

" Dearly beloved, we are gathered here together here at the sight of God, to join this Man and Woman in Holy Matrimony." he began, as he read through the bible. I listened on, and the started paying more attention to his words. "First, It was ordained for the procreation of children, to be brought up in the fear and nurture of the Lord, and to the praise of his holy name.Secondly, It was ordained for a remedy against sin, and to avoid fornication; that such persons as have not the gift of continency might marry, and keep themselves undefiled members of Christ's body."

Jeff held onto my hand, rubbing my knuckles. He mouthed some words, I didn't understand at all, I just grinned.

"Thirdly, It was ordained for the mutual society, help, and comfort, that the one ought to have of the other, both in prosperity and adversity. Into which holy estate these two persons present come now to be joined. Therefore if any man can shew any just cause, why they may not lawfully be joined together, let him now speak, or else hereafter for ever hold his peace."

The Church was quiet, searching for anyone who would interrupt the marriage. Jeff bit his bottom lip, and turned to look at me. The Priest took a breathe, and continued with his words.

"The rings please." he said, and our ring barrier handed them to us. "Wilt thou have this Woman to thy wedded Wife, to live together after God's ordinance in the holy estate of Matrimony? Wilt thou love her, comfort her, honour, and keep her in sickness and in health; and, forsaking all other, keep thee only unto her, so long as ye both shall live?"

My eyes locked with Jeff's, and he took a quick glance to Torrie? He grabbed the ring, and held my left hand.

" I d-" his words were stopped, when a bang was heard coming from the back of the Church.

My eyes grew big, at the sight I saw. He ran down the aisle, stopping a few inches apart from us.

" These two shouldn't be together." he said, and everyone snickered to others quietly.

"What are you doing?" Jeff gritted through his teeth, and John glared at him.

"Aubrey don't marry him." John turned to look at me. "He's a liar, he doesn't love you."

" And you do?" I said, trying to challenge him

"I love you Aubrey." he confessed, and gasps filled the Church. "I never stopped loving you."

Tears welled up in my eyes, and he came closer to me. I stared up at him, and tried holding back the tears.

"Don't do this, I know I look like an crazy man walking into this Wedding." he continued. "But if that's what it takes to be with the woman I love more than anything, then let it be."

One tear came down my cheek, and I looked down to the floor. Jeff's hand was still attached to mine, and he forced me to put attention on him.

"You don't actually believe him do you?" Jeff laughed. "He's trying to ruin our marriage. He's just jealous, I'm way better, John's a no talent loser."

I nodded, and took my hand away from Jeff's. I lifted it up, and slapped him hard across the face. He held his face with anger, and I saw Torrie watch with eyes of horror.

"You can have him, you don't have to go behind my back anymore." I said to her, and I looked back at John.

I grabbed his hand, and with my other, I lifted the dress up. I dragged John out of the Church, and several claps started, and it erupted to an applause. I pushed through the doors, and we stopped at the steps of the Church.

I smiled at him, and I pressed my lips onto his for a passionate kiss. His arms wrapped around my waist ,and my arms found its way to his neck.

I broke the kiss, and smiled, meeting my eyes with his blue ones. "I love you."

"I knew you would come to your senses." he said, resting his forehead against mine.

I closed my eyes, and the smile on my face wouldn't fade away. "John, you were more than I expected."

His lips swept across mine, and he lifted me up in the air, spinning me around.

"The next time you'll be in a Wedding Dress, I'll be the one waiting at the end of the aisle." he proclaimed with the smile that always made me melt.

"I can't wait..." I put in, giving him a kiss on the lips.

Yes, my life began as the shittiest one in the world, but at the end it became the best one in the world. Yes, I went through the ups and downs, the twists and turns, as a scary rollercoaster would do. But, I have to confess, the ride was worth while. If it wasn't for my parents, I would never be here right now. Who knew that my new next door neighboor, would end up being the man I would spend my life with. I just thought the move would be a stupid decision, when in reality, it was the best decision my parents made. John Cena, the guy I thought was stupid for kissing girls hands, ended up being my one true love. True Loves are never over, even if you think they are.
