Chapter 37-The Wedding!
Soda P.O.V
"Can I talk to you?"
Ash turned around and smiled. "Sure." She got up and walked towards me, leaving Two-Bits bedside. We had been talking to him for hours, just chilling and having as much fun as you could at a hospital. I grabbed her hand and lead her towards the corner of the room. "We should get married today."
I whispered to her softly, and Ash looked at me wide eyed. "Today?" she asked, and I nodded. "I know its short notice, but I think we should do it before something else comes up ya know?" I said, and she nodded, knowing what I meant.
"Okay."
I smiled at her then kissed her lips quickly. "Great. I'll tell the guys while you go get your dress." Ash stopped me before I could walk away. "I don't have money Soda, and I aint borrowing any from you." she said seriously. I thought for a second, knowing she was right this time. I got it. "You can wear my mom's." I said finally and she looked at me wide eyed again. "Are you sure? I know it means a lot to you…" I smiled and took her hands. "You can use it, I wouldn't want anyone else to." Ash smiled and hugged me tightly. "Thanks Sodapop. You're the best." She said into my ear.
"Can I be the best man?"
We both turned to Two-Bit, who had been eavesdropping on us this whole time. I shook my head, "No, -Pony is. You can be a groomsman though." Two-Bit threw his hand in the air in triumph, we both laughed. I started towards the door, not being able to stop smiling. "I will see you at 6, in the back of our house alright? I'm sure Steve's girl will help you get ready." I said, and then ran out of the room to find Darry.
Ash P.O.V
I was nervous.
Nervous as hell to be exact. I got in Darry's truck with Steve, turning the engine on slowly. Steve smiled at me, "Don't be nervous or anything." He bugged me, and I just smiled a little. What if I tripped? What if I was too big for the dress? I tried to push the thoughts out of my mind, but was unable to. "This is it." Steve said as I pulled up to a small green house. "Be right back." He jumped out and ran to the front door, a blonde girl answering it. They talked for a few minutes before she smiled real big, grabbed her coat and sprinted to the truck.
"Oh my gosh your getting married!"
I smiled as she hugged me randomly,She was so peppy sometimes, how could she be with Steve? Steve just smiled as he got in next to her. "Just don't get all excited thinking we gunna get married soon." He joked to her, and she slapped his arm playfully. "Oh shut up." She said smiling, and I started driving. "So whos dress are you using?" she asked, while looking out the window. "Soda's mom's." I answered and she nodded.
"Cute."
I didn't know what she meant by that, but I just shrugged it off as we drove up to Soda's house. "Have fun girls, stay in your room, or else." He warned, getting into the drivers seat. We waved goodbye and Evie turned to me. "Lets get started!" I smiled and lead her into the house, going to the closet where Soda said the dress was. "It should be in here." I said, taking a black dress holder out of the closet. "Lets take it out!" Evie said excitedly, and I smiled at what she would wear for her wedding. The dress was stunning. It had a long train, lace and some diamonds on it, and long lace sleeves.
"I-Its beautiful."
I couldn't say anything, I was speechless. Evie grinned at me, "Try it on!" I practically ran to the bathroom, slipping the dress on carefully. It matched my hair perfectly, even though it was white like any other wedding dress. "Come on out!" she shouted, I could hear the excitedness in her voice. I walked out slowly, spinning around a few times for affect. "Do you like it?" I asked nervously, and she grinned big and hugged me once more.
"You look amazing!"
I smiled and looked in the mirror, it did look stunning on me.
"Now what should we do for your hair?"
Soda P.O.V
I was freaking out.
I was rushing around and getting all of this stuff ready in the yard, hoping Ashley or Evie wouldn't come outside. Darry and Steve were getting the word out to all our friends, while Two-Bit just sat around since he couldn't do anything. I grabbed some more chairs, hoping we had enough, when one of our family friends came over to me. "Congrats Soda!" he said happily, and I smiled. "Thanks Harry." I said for about the 80th time. He walked away smiling, and I went back to putting flowers on the table. Someones hand was on my shoulder, and I turned around to see Darry standing there smilng. "Can I talk to you?" he whispered, and I nodded and followed him around the side of the house. He smiled at me, then hugged me. "I cant believe your getting married little buddy!" he said. I hugged him back, although it was hard since he was so buff.
"I know, hey will you do me a favor?"
"Whatcha need?"
"Well…Ashley needs someone to walk her down the aisle.."
He smiled really bigand nodded. "Of course I will." He answered, making me smile. "Thanks Darry." We heard Pony and Johnny in the front. "Lets go see what they want." He said, and we walked back to the front. Johnny and Pony both ran at me, pulling me to the ground with their hugs. "We're so excited!" Johnny yelled in my ear, the first time I have ever heard him yell. "I don't wanna die before my wedding!" I laughed, getting up off the ground. Pony smiled, "Sorry man." I couldn't help but notice a sad smile on his face, and I pulled him aside.
"You alright man?"
"Yeah."
He was a bad liar. I patted his back, "Whats wrong?" I asked again, and he sighed a little. "Just thinking…when your married, we wont be able to hang out as much." He said quietly, and I smiled at him. "Don't worry little bro, we still hang out a lot. Where you think we gunna live for a while?" Pony smiled up at me, then hugged me. "Thanks Soda." I smiled and looked at him.
"Help me get ready?"
"Duh."
