Episode 11 Chapter 4 Angel's Lullaby

Miranda, the photographer Peyton hired to work while Spencer is off, stopped by to get her photo book back from Peyton and hopefully find out if she was given the job.

She knocks on the door several times but gets no answer. She turns the knob to see that it was opened. "Peyton," she calls out for her. "Are you home?" She walks into the house.

She doesn't see anyone. "I guess no one is home." She says to herself.

She turns to leave, but she hears a noise upstairs. "Peyton," she calls out again. She decides to walk upstairs. She hears the noise again and follows the sound.

When she walks into the room she see Lucas lying on the ground in pain. "Oh my God…I'll call 911."


Peyton calls Keith.

"Hey mom, is the wedding over?"

"No honey…listen I'm worried about your father. Will you please go check on him?"

"Yeah mom…I'll check on him. I'm sure he is fine."

"Yeah…I just…I have this bad feeling."

"I'll call you as soon as I see that he is fine." Keith told her.

"Thank you honey."

"Mom," Elizabeth touched her arm. "The wedding is about to start."

"Okay…I've got to go Keith."

"Bye mom." Keith hung up. He would leave Jacey and the boys alone for a few hours to be with his dad.

The music starts to play, and the flower girls Lucy, Natalie, and Sophie walk down the aisle together. They are followed by the ring bearers Carter and Drew. Chase and Summer had decided to have two because Carter was older and could help Drew so that he wouldn't get distracted.

After they reached Chase, Carter sat down and Drew stood by Chase, Nathan, and Jamie.

Clare walked down the aisle and then Lily followed.

Summer put her arm into her dad's. "Let's go get you married."

Everyone stood and Summer and Andy walked down the aisle. Andy gave Summer a kiss on the forehead and shook Chase's hand. "You better take care of my little girl."

Chase nodded his head, and Summer smiled.

They faced the minister. "You may all be seated. We are gathered here today to witness as Summer Williams and Chase Davis declare their undying love for one another. I would like to take this time to read a passage from the Bible. It can be found in 1 Corinthians. If I speak the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have no love, I gain nothing."

He took a breath, "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."

Summer and Chase couldn't stop smiling at one another.

Spencer, Riley, and Ellie sneak into the back of the church. Millie looks back and sees him enter with Ellie. She moves closer to Jason. Jason smiles and puts his arm around her. Riley just shakes his head.

"It goes on to say that love never fails. Summer and Chase stand here today because they feel in their hearts that they are nothing without the others love. They come together today to profess to the world and to God that they will be together forever through everything that is thrown their way. For the good and the bad their love will find away to conquer all because their love will never fail. Both Summer and Chase have written their own vows."

He turns to Summer, "Summer…"

Summer smiles, "I have written and rewritten my vows a hundred times because I wanted them to be perfect because you are everything to me. You are perfect, and I wanted everyone to know how much I loved you. But I think the fact that I came up with a thousand different ways to explain the way that I feel about you is a testament in itself."

She pauses for a moment. "There are a million ways I could tell you that I love you, but I decided to say something that someone told me once, and I'll never forget that moment ever…for as long as I live." She smiled.

Chase had a feeling he knew what she was talking about.

"We had been arguing for the first time in our relationship about something that is not important now, but it seemed so important then."

Flashback:

Summer and Chase are in her apartment. "I can't believe you were going through my things." She yelled at him.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to go through your things. But why do you keep this stuff."

"Because it is apart of who I am. Jeremy will always be apart of my life. Why do you care?" She yelled.

"If you don't know then I don't know why I am still standing here." He grabs his jacket and walks out the door.

"Chase," she called for him. She followed him. "It's raining outside come back in."

He was standing in the yard.

"Chase…"

"Come after me," he told her.

"What?"

"Summer, I love you….That's why I care about that stuff. I love you so much."

She walked to where he was standing.

"I woke up this morning, and I realized that a day without you is like the sky without stars at night…The moon just looks so lonely up there by itself. Without you I am nothing…I am a wilted flower that hasn't been watered in months. I'm a fish out of water. I'm a lost child in a supermarket."

Summer couldn't help but laugh.

"We belong together like salt and pepper…peanut butter and jelly…and any other thing in this world that belongs together….That's us…We belong together."

"We make sense…because I don't know who I would be if I hadn't found you. I don't know how to live without. You're my chocolate cake, you're like getting an A on a really hard test, and you make all my pain go away…you calm me with just a smile…You are my everything Chase Davis….You are my whole world…And you make me love the rain…So I say let it pour…Because with you I have everything I have ever wanted and I know that if we stick together we can get though the muddiest of days…I love you…and I always will."

Chase smiled. Almost everyone in the church had tears in their eyes. Lily looked to the back of the church to see Spencer. He saw her too and he slightly smiled. She gave him a look. He knew he was going to hear about it, but he didn't care. Seeing Summer so happy was worth it.

"Chase," the minister looked at Chase.

"How am I supposed to follow that? I remember that day like it was yesterday. It was one of the best days of my life. Just like you I spent hours trying to find the right words to vow to you today. We've known each other forever. I remember we were thirteen when I first saw you. I had the biggest crush on you, but things happened and we didn't get together. I have a feeling that was a good thing because I didn't know who I was. And then a couple of years later I walked into the café and there you were…You were a mess." He touched her face.

"But in that moment I saw you for the first time…I mean really saw you. And I can't imagine my life without you in it. I look into my future and you and Drew are all I see. You make me want to be a better man. That verse is right. I am nothing without your love. I promise to always be there for you no matter what. We are in this together for the rest of our lives, and I know that we can through the muddiest of days because I love you and I always will."

"Alright…may we have the rings please…"

Summer and Chase pick up the rings off of the pillow from Drew. They both lean over and kiss his cheeks.

"Summer Williams, do you take Chase Davis to be your lawfully wedded husband?"

"I do," Summer slipped the ring on Chase's finger.

"Chase Davis, do you take Summer Williams to be your lawfully wedded wife?"

"I do," Chase slipped the ring on Summer's finger.

"Then by the power vested in me by the state of North Carolina I now pronounce you husband and wife." He turns to Chase. "You may kiss your bride."

Chase takes Summer in his arms and kisses her.

Everyone stands and cheers for them.

Summer and Chase walk out of the church first. "I love you husband."

"I love you wife." They kiss.

"Don't move," they turn around to see a man standing in front of them with a gun. "I told you in my letters I was going to make you pay. And I meant it."

"There are tons of cops in there. You do not want to do this. People are about to come out here."

"I don't care if I go to jail. I just want you to know what it feels like to lose someone you love." He points the gun at Summer. "And now you will." He pulls the trigger.

Chase jumps in front of Summer. Blood goes everywhere.

"CHASE," Summer screams.

"Oh God," the man couldn't believe what he had done. He takes the gun to his head and pulls the trigger.

People run out to see Summer sitting in Chase's blood and holding him in her arms.


Okay so out of every chapter I have ever written and posted for this story this one was the hardest. I'm so scared because I have no idea what you guys are going to think.

So please let me know what you think even if you have never reviewed I really would like to know because as a writer this one was pretty big.
