Re: Alex and Alexis's Wedding.... Part 1

[Pockets]

Alexis glares at Colin.

Alexis: Dad... please go ahead!

[Jabberwocky]

Colin (not whispering anymore):"Oh you seemed upset to Alexis."

Ashley:"Upset about wot?"

Colin:"Huh? Oh nothing..."

he looks over at his sister with a smirk and whispers
"You're concerned he's going to do worse now?"

[Pockets]

Alexis glares at Colin for a few more moments, then smirks at him.

Alexis: I didn't need you to do that....

[Jabberwocky]

Colin:"No, but your reaction was worth it."

[Pockets]

Alexis: Just remember... you're going to be going through all of this too.

Jayden walks off outside in the cool air of Navy Pier. He pulls out his cell phone...

Jayden: ...Hi mom....how are you tonight?...

[Cruel Britannia]

Erin: H-hi sweetie..... I'm alright..... how's the....... wedding?

[Cryonix]

Jayden: It's....it's fine, mom. Alex and Alexis wish you were here. The earrings were quite a big hit with Alexis.

[Cruel Britannia]

Erin: I'm glad..... are you ok my little cutie-pie? You sound upset.....

[Cryonix]

Jayden: Gabe....talked to dad. I don't know how he was able to it without...beating the fuck out of him. I can barely look at him mom...and not think of your condition. I'm happy for Lexi and Alex but....

[Cruel Britannia]

Erin: I understand Jayden...... you..... you know that you don't have to hate him because of me right?

[Cryonix]

Jayden: I'm...I'm sorry mom...I didn't....I didn't want to do this. I know how it affects you. I just....Gabe and I were talking to Cameron and we wanted to fly you out here...but...

His voice breaks a bit...

Jayden: ....please get better mom...

[Cruel Britannia]

Erin: I..... I'm trying sweetie..... I really am. I'm so..... so sorry.

[Cryonix]

Jayden: ...but you can't....without him....right?

[Cruel Britannia]

Erin: I think you're now in a position to fully understand Jayden..... You're an Edwards my baby. You...... you feel it too don't you? For Jessica?

[Cryonix]

Jayden: I think....I think I do...but I don't understand what it is.

[Cruel Britannia]

Erin: You don't know? I thought your uncle would have explained to you by now.

We don't really know..... what causes it. But a blood-born Edwards..... we..... we never really take an interest in romance..... almost oblivious to the opposite sex for most of our formative years...... but we feel that something is missing..... a profound loneliness we can't quite identify..... I know you felt that Jayden. But one day...... that all changes..... the instant we see that person we're supposed to spend the rest of our lives with..... and there's nothing you wouldn't do for them..... or be for them..... we mate for life..... we love that person unconditionally..... so much so that we are incapable of loving anyone else..... our soul mate

[Cryonix]

Jayden: So then...dad....for you....?

[Cruel Britannia]

Erin: Was my first..... and last.

[Cryonix]

Jayden: Why him....? I mean...HIM of all people? Why not someone like Cameron?

[Cruel Britannia]

Erin: I don't know Jayden..... you have no idea how badly I wish I could just move on..... I don't like being at the beck and call of someone who's treated me like shit for 30 years.

[Cryonix]

Jayden: Then...

Voice: I don't enjoy it either.

Jayden turns around to see Shawn. He glares...

Jayden: ....What do YOU want?

Shawn: A chance to talk to you....both of you.

Jayden: I have nothing to say to you.

Shawn: .....then let me talk to Erin. There are things I need to say to her.

Jayden: There is nothing you need to...

Shawn: Jayden. Please.

Jayden throws the phone at Shawn and walks off...

Shawn: ...hello, Erin...

[Cruel Britannia]

Erin's voice cracks.

Erin: S-Shawn?

[Cryonix]

Shawn: Hi. It's difficult for me too....hearing about you like this. I didn't want to be this way, Erin. I wish I could take it all back.

[Cruel Britannia]

Erin:You do? Because you have a fiancee and a child on the way..... sounds to me like you're doing ok.
