champagne problems: l.fantilli x oc

blurb: in which luca fantilli & marley sebastian meet because of college and long the road marley shocks her would-be fiancé and their families by turning down a marriage proposal right before Christmas.

the words like this are flashbacks, then words thay arent italic are present day/ time skipped.

luca booked a night train for a reason. his eyes were glossy and swollen from crying. the boy rested his head against the train window, the ring box in his hands. the people around him were mainly sleeping or in their own world. the boy's phone was non-stop ringing. he had no energy to answer anyone. he sat there on the train in silence, the moment replaying in his head.

on the other hand, marley was now in her car. her phone was also getting blown up, the girl sat there in silence her eyes welling with tears. the sebastian girl sat in her car replaying the moment in her head. she had no words. she didn't know what to do so she went with her gut.

“this way” luca said smiling holding his girlfriend's hand walking down the rainy sidewalk to a restaurant. the pair was celebrating their 2 year anniversary. high school sweethearts who only got together in senior year but were pinning each other since. “slow down lu” marley said with a giggle following her boyfriend. the pair was now sat at a table. they were giggling and laughing. this relationship was filled with so much light and laughter. before marley knew it, luca was in front of her holding out a ring down on knee.

“would you marry me?” he asked, marley looked around just now realizing her family and his family were all there. the girls hand started getting shaky as she looked around. the girl brought her attention back to luca, the boy smiling so bright up at his girlfriend. she couldnt bring herself to look at him, “no. im sorry luca.” the girls voice broke as she rose from her chair. she quickly ran out of the restaurant not looking back. she felt eyes on her the whole time she ran away. she could feel luca’s face drop from here. marley knew she left luca there in disappointment. she also did just make a life changing choice. she wasnt even sure if she made the right choice or not. she just jumped empty handed and was left empted handed when she landed.

Champagne problems.

her problems. the girl's anxiety always got in the way of things. she knew that and she also knew that luca knew that but he didn’t really understand. him proposing in front of their families just made her get anxious, especially her parents as they rarely reached out of marley since she has been in college.

luca’s moms ring was sat in his pocket now. his mother thought marley was the one so she passed the ring down to him. this ring has been in the family for many generations. it just wouldn’t feel the same if marley wasnt the girl wearing it. a picture of marley sat in his wallet. it was from their first ever date, 10 grade year the couple went out for dinner and ended the night with milkshakes. the brunette braces wearing marley was sat in the booth with whip cream on her nose (in which luca did) she was smiling and laughing like crazy so of course luca had to take a picture.

marley knew luca’s heart was glass but she dropped it. it instantly broke once she ran off. she felt awful and wanted to run back and pick up all the little glass bits, if she did she would get cut. definitely not a win-win situation here.

Champagne problems.

luca was overthinking any and all possibilities on why marley said no. he knew she suffered from anxiety and depression. maybe bringing their whole families together was a bit too much. but at the same time he thought it was important for them all to share this moment.

luca told adam instantly about wanting to marry marley. he just couldnt keep that from him.

“thank you meeting me here.” luca spoke as the brothers were now sat at lunch. adam had free time from blue jackets practice so the fantilli brothers had planned a lunch meet up. “anytime bro, whats up?” adam asked as luca rambled on about college and how marley was doing. the pair took turns talking about their lives from since being split up.

“adam. i'm thinking of asking marley to marry me.” luca blurted out randomly as the pair was wrapping up. “what? that’s exciting dude.” adam exclaimed, looking forward to the wedding. marley and adam always gotten along well. “this is what i was thinking.” luca smiled going into full detail of how he planned it to adam. shortly after his whole family knew, and he talked to marleys parents right after as well. the only person who didnt know was the brunette girl.

marley popped open a bottle of champagne, some splashing out a little. she had spent a lot of money on this. she got it especially for the couples 2 years. the girl giggled while sipping on the drink, she had a few too many glasses. she was trying her best to get her brain to shut off but that was most definitely not happening. now no one is celebrating. the Dom Pèrigon was hitting her so hard.

no one was applauding. the whole room was silent, only thing that could be heard hear was marleys heals running off and lucas voice softly yelling “mar!” as he chased after her. no one knew what to do. “called it.” a girl mumbled rolling her eyes at the brunette girls dramatics.

Champagne problems.

luca had a speech planned but suddenly hes speechless. he stood behind marley not knowing what to say. marley on the other hand, was shaking and anxious. love just slipped beyond her reaches. she just knew this was the best but at the same time was it really? “why?” luca asked looking over at marley, as the girl looked over her shoulder her mouth opening as nothing came out, she couldn’t give a reason.

marleys hand on her door made it feel like it turned into gold. her eyes stayed on luca until he was out of her eyesight. she then got in her car and sat there. it was november and cold. she looked in the back seats seeing the boys flannel. in one quick movement the girl was now wearing it taking in the older fantilli brothers cologne.

the pair was now in marks dorm. it was freshman year and a bunch of his hockey teammates were also there. it was very loud and crazy. “are you sure you wanna be here?” luca asked pulling his girlfriend closer to her. he knew how anxious marley gets around being many people and loud noises. “this dorm was once a madhouse.” adam replied to the pair as he just walked in after the couple. the trio came together and carpulled. “well, its made for me.” marleys spoke joking around with the two brothers getting adam to laugh but luca wasnt. he knew the girl was way too hard on herself.

marley also seen a hockey hoodie sitting in the back of her car, knowing their group of friends would never hangout again and they will all be ignoring her. the hockey boys were lucas friends, they were never marleys. but its gonna be hard to not talk to any of them after this.

the ex couple both shared the thought of each other moving on while they were upset about it. they also didn’t want it to be true.

deck the halls was playing full blast in marleys ears at the umich hockey team's christmas party. of course marley did not want to go, but surprisingly adam had persuaded her to go. so here the girl was wearing a christmas sweater walking into the house with her best friend beside her. while everyone celebrated this holiday the girl was stuck in her own pain.

once the pair was out of the kitchen the christmas music slowly getting quieter with every step they took. marley was looking for adam, but has not seen him yet. hearing a giggle, the girl turned seeing this blonde girl standing all cuddly with luca. the brunettes heart broke again seeing that image. luca felt eyes on him and he was met with marley, who was quick to run off. the blonde girl smirked as she pushed lucas lips into hers.

“oh hey marley!” adam spoke seeing the brunette walk quickly by, “why did you invite me?” she asked pointing back to luca and that blonde kissing. “what? marl? i haven't texted you since friday.” the younger fanfilli brother spoke pulling his phone open, clicking on the girls messages, seeing they had texted but it was not him. before he could say that, marley was out of sight. he soon realized it was maria? mae? he doesn’t even remember she’s irrelevant to him.

marley was now sat in her dorm. she was upset and hurt. a picture of luca sat on her desk staring back at her. she knew what she did was the best thing for her, but still she missed luca. she wasn't ready to watch him go.

she thought back to the night luca proposed.

she was very comfortable with luca and loved being around him. marley wasnt even aware she did want a future with luca until she was put on the spot. then was forced to decide.

luca was on both of his knees, making marley think he was begging her to accept his marriage proposal and not to leave him. before the proposal, marley didnt know her answer but she does know it now.

“what a shame shes fucked in the head.” someone spoke, marley overheard them which made her feel like they were right. but at the same time everyone thinks women should desire being married. marley on the other hand wasn’t ready and her mental health came first.

“luca will find the real thing instead.” marley spoke resting her head against her pillow “she'll patch up his tapestry that i shred.” she said again thinking back at the moment when the random girl and luca were talking and laughing at the party. luca would never be the same after that. i totally ruined him, he deserves the best. No one should shame him about this.

well here stands marley now.

she was at lucas and mayas wedding. the pair was dancing, mayas grip on lucas hand strong she wouldn’t let go, unlike marley. maya never left luca stranded. crestfallen on the landing.

sure she did all those things, but adam knew something everyone didnt. luca still loved marley. this maya girl has been hiding in the background since the beginning. she was at the proposal, and the christmas party. she just showed up out of the shadows.

with champagne problems, marley held the glass of champagne watching the newlyweds. when he asked her he knew the same ring was in his pocket, hands shaking not wanting the same thing to happen. He probably has a picture of her in his wallet. he won’t remember all of marleys champagne problems.

“you wont remember all my champagne problems.” marley mumbled finishing the rest of her glass and slipped out of the doors with tears in her eyes.
