" We needed to talk about this sooner or later," He sighed. He looked into my eyes for a second then scanned our surroundings. "For a very long time I wasn't myself, and I mean that literally." He racked his hand through his hair. Looking me in the eyes to try and confirm that I was listening.

"I was taken over by Pitch. It went from every other month to every month until finally he just never went away. I became a passenger in my own body. Soon my soul just drifted off to wherever souls go .But that night, " He took a deep breathe before he continued.

"That night, something brought me back to my body. I still couldn't do anything,but I tried with all my might to at least slow him down. To slow me down. You had every right to do what you did. He had plans to rape you. Though I'm pretty sure he'd had those plans long before. I'm sure he would've killed you if you hadn't beat him to the punch," he half smiled, in a failed attempt to comfort me. He sighed again seeing he was getting no where.

"You didn't kill me. You killed Pitch. He was evil. Don't feel bad. You brought me back. You brought me to you. Now we can be together forever."

Together forever. I liked the sound of that. I exhaled the breathe I'd been unknowingly holding.

I leaned my head against his chest and listened to his heart beat as he began to sing to me.

He sang like an angel. Like the first gift of sound to the ears of a human, so pure and rich it seemed impossible. Like the first touch of rain in a drought.

Julian sang every song he could think of.

He began with Evanescence,knowing I liked so much of that. He then trailed into 3 day grace,Breaking Benjamin, and a bit of Paramore before hitting up Black Veil Brides. Soon those melted away to reveal songs of his own making.

I didn't realize I was dreaming until I was already in my dress,running to Julian, who stood before a sunset over the ocean.

It was our wedding.

We'd had a ceremony, on the beach from Twilight to the second it grew so dark that even the moon could not guide.

Our ceremony ended with the releasing of lanterns into the water.

Our reception was much more extravagant.

We started the party without an introduction as man and wife.

Instead we came in to the song Broken.

As the ceremony ended we separated so we could change into our 'married' attired.

The reception was to be a mascarde ball .

I switched out of my slim,white wedding gown and into my puffy black one.

My brides mates stayed in the same deep blue dress, but added a mask. Everyone of my 6 brides mates had different masks.

I smiled at each of them.

I feel my best friends each clamps one of my shoulders.

"Hey,girly. " Says Sarah in my left ear.

"Ready for your honeymoon," Arri purred in the other.

I laughed.

"You bet, but we still have a party to get to before that." I say, letting the tow me away.

I could hear my other friends laughing and chatting behind me. I smiled. Everything was perfect.

We moved forward as the song began.

We watched the guys move around the tent that was in place. They moved around searching for their other half. We waited until Amy Lee entered the song, then came in to greet our soul mates. I stood rooted 2 feet from the entrance watching as my six sisters gracefully danced in circles around the grooms men,

I watched in amusement as Jessica chased after her boyfriend like a cat after its prey .Jess was the only one of my brides mates who wasn't married,but I guess with all the men who were pursuing her,why would she? Jessica never lasted more then 2 months with a guy, meaning that she never got close to them.

With this guy,though, she seemed... Happy. She seemed to be more relaxed. It had been years since I'd seen her so happy.

I turned away,smiling. Right as I did,Julian finally reached me.

"How's it feel to be married?" He asked,pulling toward him. I cross my arms at the back of his neck.

"Liberating," I say as the song changes to my song of choose. I flow backward as Tourniquet begins to flow to my ears. I love how edgy it feels. I can feel the vibrations in my chest .It was a welcome sensation.

I through back my head, loving how as I do so wind came in and greeted my outstretched arm. I could feel the wind playing with the black satin ribbons connecting my dress to my arms .I heard gasps as my hair lifted and I begin to let myself sink. I heard even Julian gasp,despite all the practice we have for this part of the dance. I swing forward at the last second and leap into the air, then land softly. Or so I thought. It turns out Right after I leaped,Julian decided to surprise me by holding me up in the air and allowing my ribbons to flow in the air before lowering me. The second my feet hit the floor,Julians song choice began. I laughed,because we'd kept his song choice a secret, not even I was allowed to know. Julian and the DJ were the only ones who knew. I could've found out,of course but what fun would that have been? So I'm laughing as Julian makes all these faces at me. I can feel the confusion in the air around us;Not many of our guest knew the history we had with this song...

"How can I have known you this long and never have heard you sing?" Julian asks, as I open the door to my bathroom. I chock back a scream, because I know its just Julian, and he would never hurt me.

I could fell a shy blush creep on to my cheeks. "Well I didn't want to scare you away," I whispered, a nervous smile gracing my lips.

I hear J chuckle then feel it as he brings my head to his chest. I smile, I can hear his heart.

"You could never scare me away, Not with a voice like that," He sighs into my hair. He nuzzles my hair and I feel my heart melting.

" Want to know what's funny?" He asks, with his head still against my own.

"What?" I sigh,tightening my grip around his waist.

"When we were younger,before we started dating I used to sing that song when I was thinking about you," I pulled me closer. I heard his heart skip a beat as a laugh tumbled out of my mouth.

"You know what's even funnier?" I asked, pulling my head away so I could look into his beautiful brown eyes.

"What?" He smiled, I loved how his eyes sparkled when he smiled at me.

" I used to do the exact same thing," I whispered in his ear.

That day we silently agreed that that would be our new song.

Paralyzer by Finger 11.

I chocked back my laughter and take up a mask of blissful seriousness. I try to walk past Julian with my chin held high.

I haven't even made it past me before he grabs my hand and pulls me to him. I could feel a blush tickle my cheeks, our bodies are flushed against each other, and even with though all of layers , I knew he wants me. He knew I wanted him too. He quickly brought my lips to his and we let our passion be consumed in this kiss. My hands gripped his hair, his pulling at mine too. I could feel the passion growing. There was a series of cleared throats and hoots before either of us realized we were making a scene.

We laughed and allowed or hands to be. The only thing left connected.

"Now, The groom has something- or rather - someone hed like the bride to see!". The DJ said through the mike. I looked up at Julian, my eyes questioning.

I watched as a women came a round the corner with a stuffed hippo.

"Ohh! You brought Mr. J! Now we can really be married,since we needed my first husband's honors for this to all be truly real. " I smile, and tip toe and kiss Julian.

"There's one more surprise," he whispered, and I turned.

"OH MY FUCKING GOD!" I squeal running at my close friend,Jasmine.

Jasmine had moved to India a few years back and she and I had lost touch.

"How did you find her,"I asked Julian, with my arm still wrapped tightly around her small waist.

She laughed,"He was very persuasive," She laugh was like bells. I smiled like the sun had finally come out after years of rain. Which in a sense it had. Jasmine was a ray of sunshine from my past, even when she wasn't around me her emails could lighten me during even my darkest depressions.

"I meet her when I visited India a few years back. She and I stayed in touch, and I remembering seeing that picture of her when we were Packing up your place, I recognized her and called her up. I asked if she knew who You were and she was so excited when she said she did. She said that she was moving back, sooo, I decided I'd arrange for her to be here," He shot me one of those half smiles of his. I smiled and ran at him. "I FUCKING LOVE YOU" I said as I ran. I kinda tackled him, dropping us to the floor. Our kiss, became so much like the first that this time Jasmine had to come stop us.

We separated laughing. I motioned for our bridal party to come forward.

"I'd like to have around of applause for my lovely bridal party." I said, smiling and waving at them to bow.

I laughed as a Stage frightened Keke,bowed. It was funny to see her hands shaking in side of Julian's brothers. He looked so confident. I watched as they shared a look. I Was struck by awe as Keke's back straightened and all her confidence bloomed. I smiled and tightened my hand in Julian's.

It warms my heart to see my friends so happy. Especially Jordan and Keke, They went through Hell to finally become married. When Jordan and Julian's family first meet Keke, they loved her. But then they found out her age. Keke is only a year and a half older. I thought it was a really stupid reason to stop them from being wed when they love each other so much, which is why I gave them my blessing when they decided to elope. I even offered to drive. them, but they said they wanted to do this alone. I honored there wishes. Julian was on there fence with this entire problem; He knew how much they loved each other but he thought that maybe his parent s had a reason that he didn't know about yet.

My objection was that hed known Keke longer then even I had, so he knew she wouldn't hurt him. I'm more worried about him Hurting her especially since , like Jessica,he was many followers. But with that look of love, I could imagine them being apart.

I finally took my eyes away from them and glanced over at Cecily and her husband. I had actually gotten to know Cecisly's husband but I did know how happy he made her.

I smiled at them and moved along to Haley and her husband Trevor. They had been happily married since the day after we graduated. Literally the day after,but they also have been dating since before I meet Haley years ago.

I closed my eyes trying to fight the tears I could feel building in my eyes.

I looked to my left where my two matrons of honor stood.I laughed inspite of my self at the sight of Arris red blushing face. Connecting to Ryan with his confident Smile. It was hard to believe that she made him nervous with a smile like that. He dipped her backward and reveled James and sarsh, there hands clucked together as they stared intensely into each others eyes. Sarshs eyes felt mine watching and looked to me. The second our eyes meet, my gripp on Julian tightened and I felt myself falling and the world morphing.
