Surrender (Tom Petty)
"I love you."
The whole room got quiet and everyone was watching.
Tom stares at you, his mouth slightly open, not saying a word. His girlfriend comes up to his side and grabs his arm. He glances at her and looks back at you.
"You have no idea how hard it is to see the one you love be with someone else," you say.
A few people begin snickering and you feel your face heat up. Tom too didn't look very comfortable and you start to wonder if a party was the right setting to confess this. It was not, but you should finish what you already started and you continue to speak.
"Tom," you bite your lip to try to prevent yourself from sobbing, although several tears had already rolled down your cheeks. "We're best friends, but I don't want to be that anymore. I want to be more than that."
Tom stares with the same expression on his face, still not saying a word. His girlfriend who was still clinging to his arm looked really upset though.
"I-I'm sorry," you cover your mouth with your hand so you wouldn't make any embarrassing crying noises and you run out the door.
As you run down the street, you hear the music from the house playing again, meaning that the party has resumed.
<Several Years Later>
You smile as you look at yourself in the mirror. Everything was perfect!
Though you had trouble trying to find the right wedding dress, the one you had finally chosen looked absolutely stunning on you.
Your mother helped you with your makeup and hair, and though you were nervous about letting her do it, she didn't let you down. She didn't make you look like a clown first of all, and she curled your hair and added a single flower behind your ear, making you giggle.
"Are you ready?" Your mom asks.
"I'm nervous," you laugh.
"Why are you nervous?"
"Well what if I fall? I was never good at walking in these shoes," you say looking down at your heels.
You hear a knock at the door and you turn your head towards it.
"Mom can you see who it is?"
She walks to the door and opens it. "Oh hi!! So good to see you!!"
You look and see a familiar face peek through the door.
"Tom!!" You stand up and walk towards him.
He comes in and completely freezes when he sees you.
"(Y/N)," he says in a hushed voice. "You look so beautiful."
You feel your face turn red and you smile, "Thank you, you're sweet. Now come here and give me a hug."
As you wrap your arms around Tom, you think about how great of a friend he has been.
He has always been there for you even at your lowest moments. He brought you ice cream and ate it with you whenever you went through a breakup; he would stay up late at night talking with you on the phone though he knew he would be tired the next morning; he even once spent a whole day sitting next to you with his arm wrapped around your shoulder as you cried about your favorite dog who had just passed away. He was always there for you through thick and thin.
Though you did have a crush on him for a while and admitted that to him at a party, he never stopped being your friend.
Now several years has passed. That night you confessed your feelings for him, he broke up with his girlfriend, but never explained why. You two didn't start dating though, since that same night you met Mark at a bar that you ran to after leaving the party. You and Mark dated for a while and now he was the man you would spend the rest of your life with.
"Ok the wedding is going to start in a few minutes," your mom says as she looks at her watch.
"Oh my goodness!" You say, accidentally pushing Tom away and looking back at yourself in the mirror. Your heart began beating fast in your chest and anyone can tell you're nervous.
"Ok, good luck sweetheart!" Your mom says as she blows you a kiss and walks out the door.
"I hope he treats you right," Tom says, shoving his hands in his pockets. He turns and follows your mom out the door.
A few minutes has passed and it was finally time for you to walk down the aisle. You wave to all your friends and family that came. You give a big smile to Tom but he doesn't smile back.
"You look great," Mark says to you.
The guy conducting the wedding begins to speak.
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails."
You already hear a few people begin to cry, but for whatever reason, you weren't feeling really emotional yourself.
"Friends, we have joined here today to share with Mark Davis and (Y/N) an important moment in their lives. Their time together, they have seen their love and understanding of each other grow and blossom and now they have decided to live out the rest of their lives as one."
The wedding continues on until finally he says, "If any person can show just cause why they may not be joined together - let them speak now or forever hold their peace."
For a moment, no one moved. Until someone stands up.
"I object," Tom says boldly.
You look at him and gasp. Tom, your best friend, was the last person you'd think to ruin your wedding.
"Tom," you begin. "What are you–"
"(Y/N), you told me you loved me. You told me that you wanted to be more than friends. I regret not saying anything, but I was just so shocked. Shocked because I didn't think you felt the same way I felt all these years. I kept my mouth shut that night and regretted it. I am not making that mistake again."
He started making his way towards you. "I broke up with my girlfriend that night and I was going to ask you out until you told be about him." He pointed to Mark. "I thought you two were eventually going to break up so I tried to keep patient. But when you told me you were marrying him, I–I was crushed."
Tears begin pooling in your eyes but you shook your head from side to side. "Tom, that night didn't–"
"Don't pretend it didn't happen (Y/N). You trying to forget that night is the most heartbreaking thing, don't do this to me. You said that I didn't know what it was like to see the one I love be with someone else, but I do know what it's like! I'm too familiar with the feeling! Everyday for the past several years I had to hear you talk about Mark, I had see you hold his hand, see you kiss him! It hurt seeing that and it hurt seeing you completely forget about me in one night!" His voice cracked and tears strolled down his cheeks.
"I love you (Y/N)! I don't enjoy talking to anyone as much as I enjoy talking to you. I don't enjoy seeing anyone as much as I enjoy seeing you. You talk to me, you listen to me, you're always there for me and I'm always there for you. Please," he held his hand out to you. "Please take my hand instead."
You looked at Mark who looked pretty pissed off and he stared at you, wondering what you would do. You look at everyone sitting on the benches, and they too were watching eagerly to see what you would do. You look at Tom once again who smiled softly, though his eyes were red from crying.
You look back at Mark, "I'm sorry," and you take Tom's hand instead.
Intertwining both of your fingers together, he pulls you towards him and presses his lips on yours. Some people in the audience cheered. Others booed, though the ones who were booing were Mark's friends and family.
You pull away from the kiss and stare into his smiling blue eyes. You lay your hand on his cheek and smile at him, pulling him in for another kiss.
Mark angrily gets the wedding rings and throws them at the wall. He spits on both you and Tom and walks out.
You and Tom look at each other again and laugh. He picks you up bridle style and carries you out of the church.
Your best friend and your lover, Tom is the man you would spend the rest of your life with.
