The pianists is working on the keyboard, it was a soft and humming tone, Nathan is standing at the altar with Xavier and Charles
He watched Betty smiling and entering with her friends, holding a simple flower with her beautiful long go-wn and her veil
Once she got to him, her friends left her and went to their sit. Nathan faced Betty and held her both hands as they were smiling too each other, the priest c@mĀ£ front while Xavier and Charles went to their sit
“They are about to start” Liam said to Jerry
“Wait and watch, they k!ssnow” Jerry smiled while Freddy was behind them listening to them with his jaw dropped
After their vows**
“Nathan Davis, do you decide to take Betty Shane as your lawful wife and promise to be with her, trust her even in time of pain, trouble, happiness, tragedy” the priest said
Nathan looked at Betty and smiled. “I do” he said
People cl@pped while the usher signal them to l@ylow
“Betty Shane, do you decide to take Nathan Davis as your lawful husband and promise to be with him, trust him even in time of pain, trouble, happiness, tragedy” the priest said
“I do” Betty smiled
“Congratulations, I dear by pronounce you, husband and wife. You may now k!ssthe-
Without waiting, Nathan took if Betty’s veil and pu-ll-ed for a pas-sionate k!ss, everyone started cl@pping, Jasmine smiled watching with heavy heavy, she felt. She don’t know what she felt but it’s definitely not anger or jealousy
***
It was finally time for the dancing p@rt, the song pla-ying was nothing is gonna change my love for you by Glenn Medeiros
The dance floor was cleared for Nathan and Betty, Nathan hands were on Betty’s w@!st while Betty’s on his shoulders as they were both dancing
“Do you remember that time you were teaching me how to slowdance?” Betty asked
“When I stole your first k!ss?” Nathan smiled
“That’s what you remembered??” Betty laughed
“No, I also remember when we danced at Mr Chang p@rty, you learnt quite a lot” Nathan said while Betty looked down smiling
“No hun, look at me, you’ve been looking down from the first day I met you” Nathan smiled
“I’ve been looking down, why won’t I look down look down, when you always appear to be scary” she said and then laughed while Nathan just smiled and watched her
“Do you remember how we first met?” He asked
“You mean when I sl@pped you and you were crying like a baby” Betty laughed and Nathan laughed too
“Come to think of it, it’s cute” he said
“Yes our story is cute. It all started with a sl@p and now it ended with love” Betty smiled
Nathan pu-ll-ed her for a short steamy k!ssnot caring if Liam was watching
***
The music was changed to bonfire heart by James blunt, everyone were dancing in the dance floor
Nathan and Betty together, Liam and Jerry together, Charles and Cindy, Evan and Regina, Gwyneth with Amber’s daughter
Jasmine is sitting and watching Justin dancing with other guys
“He’s cool” she thought but then a shadow c@mĀ£ to interrupt her, she looked up to see Xavier
“What?” She frowned
“Let’s dance” he stretched his hands to her
Jasmine looked at his hand for a while before sighing and accepting it, Xavier smiled brightly and led her to the dance floor
Gwyneth who dancing with Flora, paused when she saw Jasmine and Xavier dancing happily
“Aunty Gwen what’s wrong” Flora, Gwyneth was silent for a while before forcing a smile
“Nothing, aunty Gwen is tired, go dance with Lisa” Gwyneth said
Flora looked at her and shurrged, Gwyneth looked at Jasmine and Xavier again before turning her back on them and leaving
,”Let’s switch” Betty shouted
She ran to Freddy ,Evelyn ran to Regina, Jasmine was happy to get away from Xavier ,she quic-kly rushed to Justin, Xavier paused and frowned with the way Jasmine was looking at Justin
“What are you doing?” Justin asked when Jasmine hold him
“What does it looks like?” Jasmine asked
“You’re lucky I’m not in a bad mood so I’ll just tell you gently. Let go of me” Justin said between gritted teeth
“Pffft..” Charles bur-st out laughing seeing the look on Xavier’s face
“She’s flir-ting with another man right in front of you” Charles kept on laughing
Xavier paid Charles no attention, he kept on looking at the way Jasmine was talking to Justin, from the look in her eyes he’s not stupid to know she has a thing for him, a bĀ©dyguard for that matter!
Justin’s turned to leave but Jasmine held his hand
“I know you’re still thinking I’m a threat but I mean no harm to Nathan or Betty, I’m really changed now and I’m very happy for them” Jasmine said with a pout
“Okay then if you say so but let go of my arm” he said flatly
“I won’t, I wanna tell you a secret. I’m interested in someone else” she whispered
“I know it’s Xavier, after you get all your money and fame you’ll dump him” Justin said
“Pfft, it’s not Xavier it’s a guy who pla-ys tough, his name starts with j and ends with n, figure it out” she win-ked and pe-cked his cheeks before running away
Justin cleaned his cheeks but smile secretly. Xavier couldn’t hold his anger anymore so he turned to leave but bu-mped into drun!kGwyneth
She was holding a large bottle of red wine and it accidentally splashed Xavier white suit, he looked at his suit and then looked at her in anger
“Look what you did” Xavier ranted angrily
Gwyneth was still holding the bottle and looking at him drun!kenly, angrily Xavier snatched the bottle from her and throw it across the wall, it made a very loud crashing sound that everyone had to gather
“Why did you throw the bottle?” Gwyneth asked
“Do you fvĀ¢king know how much this suit cost, it can fricking buy your whole family for crying out loud” Xavier yelled
“That’s where you’re wrong, I’m not short on money, infact I’m not short on anything. If it’s suit ma-king you bark like a dog then I can buy you two if it so you can go fvĀ¢k yourself” she spat back in anger
“Daughter of a bit-ch” Xavier cursed
“Xavier it’s my wedding, how dare you do such things here?” Nathan said angrily
“I’m sorry” Xavier said before turning around and leaving
“I’m taking her home” Regina held Gwyneth hand
“Leave me, call that fool back here so we can fight” Gwyneth barked
“No baby, now is not the time to fight, let’s go” Regina dragged Gwyneth inside the car
“Let me go, I can walk myself” Gwyneth kept struggling
“Quit that, you’re drun!k” Regina said
“Let me help” Evan c@mĀ£ from behind, he helped carrying Gwyneth inside the car and placing her on the back sit, he tied her with seatbelt while Regina entered the driver’s sit and began driving
*******
Xavier got to his car angrily. “fvĀ¢k you Gwyneth” he cursed as he angrily took if his suit
“Xavier” Charles was running to him
“What!” Xavier barked out
“Why are you like this, you nee-d to calm down, earlier you just transferred your anger on that poor girl, that’s not fair” Charles said angrily
“Are you done?” Xavier said in a bored expression
“You’re just being a jĀ£rk” Charles said
“Out of my way” Xavier pushed Charles and entered his car
“Don’t be like this men it’s Nathan’s wedding” Charles said
“Damn,fu-ck y’all” he yelled and then whined up his glas-s
“Xavier” Charles yelled but Xavier alre-ady start speeding
His mind went to the way Jasmine was holding Justin, not caring if he was watching
He hit his car horn over and over again in anger
“She’s mine, she’s fvĀ¢king mine, I won’t loose her to a bĀ©dyguard I fvĀ¢king won’t. I’ll destroy who comes in my way I’ll destroy everyone. Damm y’all” he yelled with fury eyes as he increa-sed his car speed
When it was too much for him to beat, he bur-st out in tears
“fvĀ¢k you Justin, just wait and watch, I will kill you. I will kill all of you” he yelled
While he was busy practicing madness and failed to notice the speed truck coming towards him and when he finally noticed it. It was too late

Evening**
The whole wedding ceremony had finished by now, Liam was helping Nathan and Justin pack somethings from the car while Betty was in the room changing to her normal cloth
“Phew all done” Liam smiled when they finished
“So what’s next?” Nathan asked
“Wedding night” Liam shouted
Nathan eyes wi-de-ned as he looked at him
“Where did you hear that from?” He asked
“Jerry” Liam laughed
“Jerry again?, Looks like you’ll stay away from that kid” Nathan said
Liam sticked his ton-gue out and ran to Betty’s room, Betty was still in her br@ and just Sk-irt when Liam entered
“What the fvĀ¢k.. haven’t I always tell you to knock?” She said as she picked up her shi-t
“Sorry I’m going to knock now” Liam said as he turned to leave
“Nevermind, come-on let’s go to the living room” she said
“Yeeye” Liam shouted as he ran his way there
“I’ve told you to stĀ©p running or you’ll fall” Betty ran after him
***
They reached the living room and met Nathan on a phone call
“Hunny who’s calling you this late?” Betty asked as she moved to him
Nathan turned to her with sad eyes
“I just got a call, Xavier he had an accident, now he’s in the hospital” Nathan said
“What!” Both Betty and Liam shouted
“I nee-d to see him, I promise I’ll be back” Nathan said
“I’ll go with you” Betty said
“And me” Liam added
“No baby you’ll stay here with Justin” Nathan said but Liam stubbornly shook his head
“Liam” he shouted angrily, it made the boy flin-ch and his eyes bec@mĀ£ teary instantly
“I’m sorry for shouting at you” Nathan pleaded, as he pu-ll-ed him for a hvg
“I’m sorry baby, plea-se forgive me” he apologizes and Liam nodded
Nathan smiled and k!$$Ā£d his hair
“plea-se stay with Justin okay, I’ll be back early I promise” he said softly
Liam sniffed but still nodded
“Thank you” Nathan k!$$Ā£d his cheeks and to Betty hand and they both left
Liam c@mĀ£ to hvg Justin from behind
“They will soon be back okay, don’t worry” Justin said to him

WINSTON HOSPITAL***
Betty and Nathan rushed in, they met Cindy and Charles pacing back and forth
“How’s he?” Nathan asked
“In the operating room, the nurses are attending to him. Doctor Winston isn’t here yet” Evan said
“Can I see him?” Nathan asked
“Not yet” Cindy said
Betty hvgged Nathan to calm him down, the door bur-st opened and doctor Winston entered
“plea-se doc don’t let him die” Nathan said and doctor Winston just nodded and went in
Nathan fell on the chair and began ru-bbing his temples while Betty sat beside him and took his hands
“Just calm down okay, everything would be fine” Betty cooed
Nathan didn’t say anything, he just buried his face de-ep in Betty’s che-st while she ru-bbe-d his hair

Regina was still taking care if Gwyneth who was still drun!k. 1:00am Gwyneth woke up with pounding head
“$h!t” she cussed as she stood up and went to the fridge
Regina woke up and found Gwyneth missing
“Gwen, could she have heard about the news” Regina thought, rushing downstairs
She sighed of relief when she saw Gwyneth drinking water
“Gwen is still early, come and sleep” Regina but Gwyneth faced her
“I had a bad dream, that someone-
“No dream , let’s sleep” Regina gr@bbĀ£d her to the room
*******
Next morning***
Regina is preparing hangover soup in the kitchen for Gwyneth who is still suffered from headaches
“Regina your phone is ringing” Gwyneth shouted from the living room
“Coming” Regina shouted, she dropped the spoon and rushed to gr-ab her phone
It was Evan calling

“It will take two days to get to the hospital, come with Gwen, we can’t loose him” Evan cut her off and then hanged up
