Don't Need Them - John Laurens x Reader {DISCONTINUED}

- 19 -

~ time skip: October 2 ~

Your POV

"I can't believe it! My best friend is getting married tomorrow~!"

I couldn't help but laugh as Teegan cheered as she twirled about the living room.

Reluctantly, John and I had decided to follow the wedding 'norm' and spend the night apart. I was sad I wouldn't be seeing him until the big moment tomorrow, but also excited. Did I mention anxious too?

Teegan turned to me. "So, how does it feel knowing you're officially, y'know, declaring 'forever'?"

"It's exciting and also extremely nerve-wracking at the same time," I responded, laughing. "I didn't think I'd be saying it so soon, but I can't see anyone else besides John."

"Now that's cute," Teegan mused, stopping her pacing and sitting back down next to me.

"So you're ready to be a bride? Mrs. (Y/N) Laurens? It's a big commitment, but I'm not worried about you two."

"Really?" I inquired, looking at her gray-ish eyes.

Teegan nodded. "Yeah. I can just see it by the way you look at each other. I don't think I've ever seen more love than John looking at you."

I felt my cheeks start tinting. "As weird as it is for me to say, I think I am ready."

She grinned. "Now that's the spirit, girl!"

John's POV

Ay dios mío guys I'm freaking out I'm getting married tomorrow to my favorite person ever ohmygod

I couldn't help but laugh at (Y/N)'s tweet.

"What're you laughin' at?" Martha inquired, walking over and sitting next to me.

I chuckled, showing my sister (Y/N)'s post. "This."

Martha giggled after reading it. "She's too amazing. I can't wait to see her tomorrow."

My parents had found a hotel to stay at, but Martha insisted that she not only save our parents money by staying at (Y/N) and I's, but that it also gave us a chance to catch up in person. They still lived in South Carolina so I was happy they made it up in time.

Martha and I had always been close, even if she was a few years younger than me (younger than Y/N, too). When she met (Y/N), they became close friends instantly (Forgot to mention last chapter but Martha is another bridesmaid. Carry on). She was excited that she could finally call (Y/N) her sister in some way. And not to mention, my parents were also beyond excited.

"So, Jacky, you're actually gettin' married. You found a girl and are now becoming a husband. How does that feel?" Martha teased.

I couldn't help but chuckle at Martha. "It's... weird to explain. I've been waitin' for this day for months and now it's finally here and I'm... actually really nervous."

"I wouldn't be nervous, Jacky. I can tell she really loves you. And you love her, so see? You two have somethin' really special, and it's a shame it only came out after everything that happened."

I had nearly forgotten about the guys. (Y/N) and I hadn't talked to them in months, but we had seen them. Though it had been quite a while since we last saw them. At least now they wouldn't be able to do much.

I nodded. "Yeah. They can't do much now."

"Mhm. Shame really. I still can't really believe the nerve of them. I don't think I ever will."

"Me neither, sis. Me neither."

Your POV

"I just can't get over it! My angel's getting married tomorrow!"

I giggled at my mom's enthusiasm through the FaceTime call.

"I know, Mom, I know. It's crazy, really."

"You really love him, don't you?"

I nodded. "I do. I really do."

My mom smiled. "I'm happy you're happy."

"Speaking of which... where's..?"

"Ohhh yes! How could I forget? Sam, come here! (Y/N)'s on FaceTime~!"

It wasn't long before I heard footsteps and another person walked in, sitting next to my mom.

"Hey Mama."

She beamed. "Hi baby. Are you ready for tomorrow?"

I laughed. "God, I hope so."

They both laughed.

"I can't wait to see you all prettied up! That dress of yours is gorgeous!" Mama spoke after a moment.

"Yes! And your friends do such wonderful touch-ups," Mom added.

"I know. Both Angie and Martha are such beauty queens."

We all laughed and I kept talking to them for a while until they said they should go to bed.

"We'll see you tomorrow morning, angel," Mom spoke.

I nodded. "I can't wait to see you guys. I love you." I made a little heart with my hands. That was always our little thing.

They both made little hearts back, waving afterwards. "We love you too, (Y/N). Goodnight~!" Mama responded.

I giggled. "Goodnight Mom, Mama."

I hung up the call, checking the time. 10:26 PM.

"Hey Teegs! I'm calling it a day!" I called to the kitchen area.

"Okay! I am too!" Teegan responded.

I got up off the couch, grabbing my phone and going to Teegan's guest room. Teegan walked in, giving me a quick hug before going off to her own room.

I shut the door behind her, pulling out my pajamas.

After changing, I huddled under the blanket. I wished John was there, but knew it was less than twenty-four hours before I saw him again... at an alter.

God, I couldn't wait.
