Chapter Twenty Two - Finally

Zac couldn't believe how Mia had just acted, he knew she had never liked Ruby but to make up such a vicious lie was completely not like Mia. But she had shown her 'proof' but no, Ruby may have just liked Robyn's music and was interested in her's and Mia's lives, it was never boring that was for sure. Even though he was angry at her, he couldn't help bit notice how cute Mia looked, he saw the hurt look on her face when he started shouted and remembered the feeling of wanting to hold her tightly. He thought he needed to talk to Ruby about this, even though there was probably a valid reason for this but something was niggling at the back of his mind, he heard the front door open but Ruby had already bolted up the stairs before he said,
"Ruby! I need to talk to you!' Without looking down she just replied,
"I've had a long day, I'm going to chill and have a long bath and then we can talk" going into her room Zac wondered why she was in such a hurry, he headed up the stairs and as he was coming up to the floor their bedroom was on he heard Ruby's voice from the other side of the door. He couldn't make out what she was saying but he heard her footsteps coming towards the door, he sprinted halfway down the stairs and made it look like he was just coming up when he said,
"You alright up there?
"Er, yeahh, fine, just off to have a bath" she said walking down past him and going into the bathroom. He looked around their bedroom but noticed nothing out of the ordinary, what was he expecting to find anyway? A big sign saying 'I want to ruin Robyn's and Mia's life'. He noticed the apple screen saver was running on their mac so he sat by the desk and gently brushed his finger across the mouse pad, there, on the screen was a pale red head starring back at him. He wondered if she could see him so waved at the camera like a lunatic but nothing, just starred blankly, but there was something not right with her, she had an evil look in her eyes. He figured he better get off before Ruby came back and started going on one of her usual mad rants about respecting her privacy, something she was very into, she was very secretive and if Zac ever questioned this she would just use the excuse that he needed to respect her privacy. He was about to get up when he was captivated with what the red head had just typed 'Ruby, you there? I need to make sure you still now how to carry out the plan. We haven't spoken in a while...' He was confused and instinctively typed back 'What plan?' He saw the look of confusion in the red head's expression but saw her typing, it was clear that the webcam on his side had been turned off so this way he could be Ruby, he knew this couldn't be a friend of Ruby's, she hadn't smiled once or had a nice expression, then the plan came up, he held his breath and began reading,
'I'm only going to say this once more. You are going to marry Zac. There's no chance of Mia ruining it is there? Anyway, on your honeymoon say you want to go to Colorado, there we can get him into our community and we can find ways of making sure he never returns to London. That Leila girl failed with her attempts of ruining Taylor and Robyn, but we won't make the same mistakes with Zac. And if you do, it'll be the last thing you do. Get in touch after the wedding' and with that she logged off. He couldn't breathe, what had just happened? Ruby was involved in some sort of Zac cult? The idea seemed absurd, she was planning on bringing him back to this cult and leave everyone here, no, he wasn't going to let a psycho ruin his life, he would just have to play her at her own game.
Zac had been ordered to leave the house last night because apparently it was 'unlucky' to see the bride before the wedding, which he thought was ridiculous since the whole thing was a sham anyway to ruin his life but he just went along with it and went to Robyn's and Taylor's. He was woken up by two his two excitable brothers, already looking smart in their tux's, when he went downstairs for his usual morning coffee he saw Mia turned away from him making a cup of tea. She was wearing a lilac silk dress that dropped down her back revealing her adorable venus dimples, he looked down to see her toned calves he'll up by strappy black stiletto's,
"Down boy, you're getting married today" chuckled Isaac making Mia turn round and both look at each other with embarrassed looks. He didn't bother with his coffee and dragged himself upstairs to get changed, he grinned at the prospect of the day ahead, Ruby had her plans and Zac had his.
He was standing at the top of the red carpet in the church with his brothers at one side, he scanned the room to catch Mia's eyes to give her a slight smile. The organ started playing and he saw the a big marshmellow dress standing in the doorway and started slowly walking towards him. She stood next to him and tried to hold his hand, he moved it slightly so it was out of her reach, she looked at him confused but started reciting the vows,
"I Ruby Richardson take you Taylor Hanson to be my lawfully wedded husband, in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, till death do us part" Zac wanted to laugh in her face but repeated them too. The priest had said those tense words,
"Does anyone here know a reason for these two not to be wedded, speak now or forever hold your peace." But this time someone did speak,
"Actually, we have a few reasons!" Mia stood up and walked over to Zac grabbing. Ruby just looked at Mia with a shocked and angry face, she looked at Zac for an explanation. You see Zac had been straight on the phone to Mia when he found out Ruby's plann, and even with Mia's persistence for just calling the police straight away they agreed to humiliate her at the wedding and when she tried to fly back to America to have her picture flagged as people to arrest on the border.
"Your friend isn't going to be very happy you failed...Like Leila ey" He saw the realisation smack her on the face. She looked around in a panic,
"I don't know what your talking about. Darling, get away from her and let's carry on" she said trying to force a smile.
"Oh don't play that, you've been playing everyone for the last couple of months. I was on Skype to your red haired friend" he saw her eyes widen when mentioning her,
"Yeah her, your little cult leader and she explained everything to me. Now unless you want me to call the police you better scarper. Quick." And with that she picked her dress up and ran down the isle past all the shocked faces wondering what had just happened. Zac suddenly grabbed Mia's hand and whispered,
"What about one more chance?"
She clasped her hands around his face and kiss him passionately on the lips.
"So there isn't a wedding happening?" Zac looked down at Mia,
"You can get that idea out your head. I. Am. Not marrying you as that slut's leftovers" they both laughed and held eachother. Robyn stood up and announced,
"Well, I need to get Skye christened."
