Chapter 1: "Fairytale or not"

Kyle finished buttoning his tux jacket; he fixed his hair as he stood in front of the mirror. Declan had finished 5 minutes before Kyle had.

"How do I look?" Kyle asked as he spun on his heels.

"Nervous." Declan was blunt "Dude don't worry, Foss is on high alert. Just get married have the reception. Then you and Amanda will be off on your honeymoon." Declan finished adjusting Kyle's tie.
All of a sudden Josh came bursting through the doors of the guy's dressing room.

"Where is Dad?!"

"Last I saw he was talking with Amanda's grandfather in the hall. Why?" Declan took note that he was not wearing his tie or his shoes.

"Uhh, Josh you missing something?" Declan asked with a smirk.

"Yeah have you guys seen my shoes and my tie?"
Kyle pointed to the shoes and tie sitting on the chair in the corner.

"Thanks!"

Stephen poked his head into the room "Its time."

Kyle took a deep breath he nervously strolled into the church with Declan and Josh trailing behind. Kyle took his place on the step in front of Father Jacob. Declan took his place on the step in front of Kyle, and Josh took the step that followed Declan. Kyle scanned the room he saw Stephen and Nicole along with Adam were sitting on the groom's side and Mrs. Bloom was sitting on the bride's side. She had a fake smile and a glair that seemed to say 'if you hurt Amanda I will kill you'. Foss stood in the back he didn't smile but he nodded in approval. There were lots of people that Kyle barely knew at all, but they were all here for Kyle and Amanda. The thought made Kyle smile a little.

The organist began to play and everyone in the church stood up. The doors opened and a little girl in a light pedal pink dress, with light brown blond hair, and green eyes, she was holding a white basket with light pink pedals in it started to walk down the aisle tossing the pedals as she strolled. A smile that stretched from ear to ear came across Declan's face he was so proud of his little girl Emma. Behind Emma trailed the bridesmaids Lori (Emma's mom) Andy and Hilary. They each wore lavender colored dress and held light pink bouquets.
Kyle's eye glazed over in joy as Amanda who was escorted down the aisle by her grandfather came to the doors. He watched as they elegantly stride down the aisle. Amanda's grandfather looked like Amanda's dad except for older.

"Who gives this woman to marry this man?" Father Jacob asked.

"Her mother and I." Amanda's grandfather then took his seat next to Mrs. Bloom

"And who gives this man to marry this woman? Father Jacob asked again

Adam, Stephen and Nicole all stood "We do." they said together then took the seats.
Father Jacob took Kyle and Amanda's' hands and clasped them together then turned to Amanda and began

"Do you Amanda Bloom take this man Kyle Trager to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness, and in health, to love and to cherish 'till death do you part'?"

Amanda smiled "I do" she replied with joy.

Father Jacob turned to Kyle and began "Do you Kyle Trager take this woman Amanda Bloom to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness, or in health, to love and to cherish 'till death do you part'?"

Kyle grinned his boyish grin and replied "I do"

"The rings" Father Jacob simply said
Kyle turned to Declan to receive the ring, Amanda turned to Lori to receive the ring also. Kyle gently placed the golden ring on Amanda's soft finger. Then Amanda placed the other golden ring on Kyle's strong finger.

"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride." Father Jacob announced.

Kyle wrapped his arms around her waist and Amanda wrapped her arms around his neck. As they had their first kiss as husband and wife something terrible happened. A bullet pierced Kyle's shoulder. He gasped for air as he fell back Declan caught his fall and gently lowered him to the floor. Amanda had tears streaming down her face as she knelt down and clasped Kyle's hand.

"Amanda!" he gasped "I…Love…you." He was barley able to get out.

"I love you too." Amanda kissed Kyle's hand.

Declan was putting pressure to the wound with a hanker chief. Lori, Andy, Hilary, Josh, Stephen, Nicole, and Adam huddled around Kyle Mrs.Bloom called 911. Foss only instinct was to run after the shooter.
