So… I was hoping to post this a lot earlier, like I said I would. But literally the day after I updated all of my stories, I accidentally spilled beer on my laptop. However, I was lucky enough to have an aunt who just bought a new laptop, and was happy to give me her old one. So here goes the last chapter, I hope y'all like it!
DPOV
I don't think I've ever sweated this much.
My palms were sweaty, my forehead sweaty. I was almost afraid my hair gel was going to get washed away from the amount of sweat seeping out of my body. It didn't help that we were outside, under the blazing sun.
Well maybe not the blazing sun. I looked up at the beautiful green trees that slightly covered them, giving a cooling shade to the ceremony.
When the music began, his heart raced. He looked to his brother that was standin to his left, a frightened look. All Simon did in return was give the biggest smile he could manage, and clap his hand on the nervous mans shoulder. A way of showing him that he had his back. They were brothers, through and through.
The love of his life turned the corner, her arm wrapped around her fathers arm. Her father had aged considerably. Grey flecks were elaborately placed in his dark hair that was still vibrant and healthy and slicked back for the occasion. Suddenly, the nervous went away as my eyes drifted to the beatiful woman walking toward the delicate flower arch that the officiate stood under.
I held out my hand to her. My wife, my lover, the person who understood me the most and accepted me. Her blue eyes shone with her own tears of love and happiness and excitement.
"You've been a good man to my daughter. I'm proud to be here, to know that she will be loved and protecte for the rest of her life." He held out his daughters hand which I grasped with little grace. I didn't care if my hands were oddly cold from the constant sweating. That wasn't what this was about. This was about them, about the love they shared.
Chloe looked at me with so much swimming in them. The blueness of them seemed to pierce my very soul. It seemed as though an eternity went by in minutes. It was time to say vows.
"Derek." Chloe began. "You have been my rock, my tether to reality. When I had my worst days, the darkness surrounding me would always ease when you held me. When you told me how much you loved me. When you accepted me for everything and anything I was. Those were huge things, that happened from the very beggining. From the first moment I saw you through my window. The first time you made me jump. The first time you kissed me, when we went to winter formal… I am bound to you forever. I will never let go of you, will never stop trying, will never stop growing into the woman I am meant to be, the woman who loves you unconditionaly."
"Chloe, my butterfly. My angel who came from nowhere to steal my heart away. Highschool seemed like such a long time ago, but that only shows how strong we are, how strong we've become by being together. There has never been a moment of down, never have a waivered. Forever I want you in my arms. The woman who loves me, accepts me, and will be the mother to my children. The grandmother to my grandchildren. I hope they have your courage. I hope they have your eyes, because in your eyes I see the future, I see the universe, and most of all I see the unconditional love you have for me. I want them to be just like you, find someone who means as much to them as you mean to me. You are my world, my everything. Never shall I leave from you. I hope to never make you sad, but I will be there through the tears, the laughter, and the pain. Here, as your husband."
The kiss sealed their future, sealed the last part of the their undying love. The ring that shined when the streaks of sun hit against them sang from both of their hands. They interlocked and smiled to their friends and family. The party was to begin.
But most of all, their lives together had just begun.
