Last chapter, and then when you are done reading this chapter, this story is done. It's so sad!
Third Person POV
Stella was super nervous. Her wedding was actually going to be really different from Scott and Mo's wedding, and it was going to be just the band plus Ray and Ms. Reznik, who was conducting the ceremony. Mo had also brought Stella's and Charlie's goddaughter, Sarali, to be the flower girl.
"Do I look okay?" Stella asked. She was wearing a white sundress with a blue flower in her hair and a pair of Mo's flower earrings. She had a penny in her biker boot, which she was wearing instead of sandals or heels, and her ring was secure on her finger. The dress was new, and she was also wearing a pair of old black tights that had holes in them.
"You look perfect, Stella!" Olivia said. "This is definitely the perfect wedding for you and Charlie, even if we are all still tired from graduation." The rest of the band was already done with high school, and the day had started out with their graduation. Olivia was wearing a red sundress with sandals, and Mo was wearing the same thing but in pink, the weight from her pregnancy all shed off. "I'm gonna go see if the boys are ready." Olivia walked out of the room and Stella was left in the room alone.
"Are you ready, Stella?" Ray knocked on the door. After the year had started, Ray had become close friends with the band when the secret came out that he was gay, but mostly Stella. He became very protective of her, and he was going to be giving her away at the wedding.
"Yeah. I think so." Stella said, and Ray came in and sat down next to her on the bed.
"Nervous?" Ray asked.
"Super." Stella said. "I really love him, Ray. I'm ready for this. But, holy shit what if something goes wrong?" Ray stood up and took her hand, pulling her up.
"When my mom was getting married again seven years ago, I was going to walk her down the aisle this time." Ray started, and he sat Stella down on her vanity chair. He took the makeup brush and started making her super pretty. Stella didn't protest, surprisingly, and he smiled at her. "She really loved this man, and it was different from any other wedding she's had. They spent a long time planning everything out, and it became a big white wedding that my mother had never had before. She was sweating bullets because she was so nervous that something would go wrong. But she went through with it and they got married, and seven years later, she's still married to him. And they still love each other like they're teenagers again." Ray took the makeup brush off of Stella's face and handed her a mirror. Stella looked in the mirror to see that she was wearing light blue eye shadow with mascara and eyeliner, and she looked radiant. "But she was nervous, just like you are." Ray took Stella's hands and stood her up. She gave him a tight hug.
"God, Ray." She said. "You're like my gay best friend!"
"Stella, I am your gay best friend." Ray laughed with Stella, and then walked down the stairs. Mo handed her the flowers, and then she walked down with Sarali in her arms, dropping rose petals on the aisle. Olivia was next, and then Stella walked down with Ray.
Charlie's breath was taken away. Stella looked beautiful, and she was even wearing makeup! Charlie was wearing a pair of black dress pants and a white t-shirt with a black tie borrowed from Scott and his signature leather jacket. He was also wearing his black Converse shoes, and his hair was still hanging down from his head in its regular style.
"Good luck Stella." Ray said, and he kissed her cheek before handing her over to Charlie.
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here in Charlie's backyard today to celebrate the coming together of Charles Thomas Delgado and Stella Marie Yamada." Ms. Reznik said, and she turned to Charlie. "Charles Thomas Delgado, do you take Stella Marie Yamada to be your lawfully wedded wife?"
"I do." Charlie said, and he turned to Stella. They shared a smile, and Ms. Reznik continued.
"Stella Marie Yamada, do you take Charlie Thomas Delgado to be your lawfully wedded husband?" She turned to Stella, and Stella smiled.
"Hell yes!" Stella exclaimed, and everyone laughed. "I mean, I do." Charlie squeezed her hand, and Ms. Reznik continued.
"Does anybody object to this?" She asked, and the entire backyard was silent except for a dog barking in the distance. "Then I now pronounce you two husband and wife. Charlie, I know you want to kiss her, so just do so already!" Ms. Reznik said, and Charlie leaned down and pressed his lips to Stella's. The two newlyweds stayed lip-locked for a moment, and then they pulled away. The band, Ms. Reznik, and Ray all clapped, and Mo took Ashton's hands and clapped them together. They ran inside and they all sat down at the giant dining room table. Ms. Reznik brought out a small cake, and they cut it together. They all drank lemonade, and then the dancing part came.
"Now Mr. and Mrs. Delgado will have their first dance." Ms. Reznik said, and Charlie held out his hand to Stella, which she took. They stood up and started dancing to Drops of Jupiter by Train. Pretty soon everyone was dancing, Mo with Scott, Olivia with Wen, and Ray with little Sarali (since Luke was in Virginia). Those two made a cute and funny sight.
After the wedding was over, Charlie and Stella hopped into his car and drove off to a hotel in Colorado that they had stayed at once.
"Charlie, this is perfect!" Stella exclaimed. "I love it!" Charlie kissed Stella's cheek before they got out, and they rode the elevator up to the royal suite. They got inside and Stella attacked Charlie with kisses as soon as the door was closed.
They kissed like that for a while, and then Charlie lifted Stella up into his arms. Her legs were wrapped around his hips, and he used his right hand to unzip her boot. He switched hands and did the same thing on the other side, and she kicked her shoes off. He shed his jacket on the ground, and Stella jumped off of his lap, pulling away from the kiss. She took off Charlie's shirt and threw it on the floor. Charlie slid her sundress straps off of her shoulders and Stella slipped out of it, discarding the wedding dress on the ground. Stella lay down on the bed and Charlie climbed on top of her, kissing her passionately.
"Are you absolutely positive you want this Stella?" Charlie asked. Stella nodded, biting her lip.
"I want a baby, Charlie. Let's make a baby." Stella said, and they laid back down on the bed, clothes covering the floor.
Sigh. I am done with The Invention of Starlie. It's been about two months or something since I've started this story, and now it's over. But just wait for the sequel! It will be called The Challenges and Obstacles of Yours Truly, and it will start being posted on Christmas (or Thanksgiving, it depends on whether or not I have fans out there willing to give me amazing ideas).
So goodbye for now, everybody. I hope to see you all soon! If you give me good enough ideas, then I will post the prologue right away!
Until then!
