Chapter 11 – Getting you Back

27 days later.

Harry was in his apartment reading the newspaper. The article said,

Tomorrow, Saturday 11 September, Spanish Singer, Adriano Diaz and Rachel O'Sullivan will marry at St.Paul's Cathedral and hold a reception at Hilton Hotel in the heart of London…

Roughly Harry threw the newspaper on the floor and knew that he had lost Rachel... his Ginny. Tears fell on his cheek and rolled on his face.

"No I can't lose Ginny!" Harry yelled and he put on his coat and ran out of his apartment in the rain ready to talk to Rachel.

-----

Harry was seated in the train looking out of the window. One could see the determination in his eyes… he could not lose Rachel. He had to fight for her.

After a depressing trip, Harry arrived at Kings Cross Station and made his way to Rachel's apartment. He could still remember clearly where it was.

Rachel was seated on the couch wrapped in her dressing gown sipping soup from her mug. She was reliving the past 27 days like a film in her head.

---"Oh I'm sorry!" Harry told her.

"It's ok, actually I should apologise," she said with a smile.

"Nah I should. Care to join me for dinner tonight as an apology?"---

Meeting Harry … why had this affected her life so much?

---"You managed to find tickets?"

"Yeah of course! Well, they weren't at the front obviously but I still managed to see you. You know, I liked what I saw," he then added in a sexy tone.---

She removed Harry's memories from her mind and tried to remember the days she had spent with Adriano.

---A week later, Mr. and Mrs. Diaz, Adriano's parents, had come to visit the two and they were a great couple. They planned everything for Rachel and Adriano. They had welcomed Rachel perfectly in their family and did all they could to make her feel ok.---

Rachel shook her head, 'Why do I doubt this marriage? Why am I not happy?' Tears fell on her face and she kept thinking, 'I am marrying a rich celebrity, his family has accepted me! Everyone's so happy, why can't I be too?'

A voice in her heart answered her questions, 'You're not happy because you're not in love. Marrying Adriano would mean one life. A celebrity life, being forced to do everything. Only parties, money and fame, but no love. You know that Adriano will eventually abandon you like he did on his first Concert.'

"No he won't!" Rachel exclaimed angrily trying to convince herself. But she knew that she couldn't do so. Although Adriano was great the two were not in love. He was quite bossy and prepared everything himself without allowing her to do anything. He would only ask her to join him on parties and then leave her standing alone in a room and go mingling with the others.

Rachel had tried to convince herself that this month had been perfect. She tried to convince herself that her life was perfect. But nothing was … there was something missing. There was Harry missing.

She missed him. She missed his smile, his eyes and his words. She tried to stop herself but couldn't. She was now in love of Harry.

Suddenly she heard the doorbell ring urgently.

"Who can this be?" Rachel asked and with a groan went to open the door. She had wished so much that she could spend the eve of her wedding all alone at home. She knew that Adriano had gone out with his friends but she did not feel like doing the same.

Rachel opened the door lazily and almost fainted.

"W-what are you doing here?"

Harry softly pushed Rachel inside and closed the door. The two then embraced and Harry muttered in her hair,

"I missed you."

As the two pulled back Rachel answered, "So did I."

"Why are you doing this?"

"Doing what?" Rachel asked as more tears fell. She knew that now it was more difficult for her to marry Adriano. She had the man that she loved there with her and it was so difficult for her to keep back from kissing him.

"Marrying that jerk!"

"I have to!"

"Why do you have to?"

"Listen Harry, I love him!" Rachel argued and Harry snorted and rolled his eyes. "It's true," she added defensively, "I spent a wonderful month with him."

"No you didn't. You missed me, just like how much I missed you. I felt like dying Rach!"

"Don't exaggerate!" Rachel yelled although she knew that he was right.

"I am not exaggerating! I thought of you each night hoping that the next you'll be in my arms. You don't know what it's like to be without you!"

"Oh come on Harry. You're a stranger for me! And so am I for you."

"It's not true. You're lying. Do you remember, 27 nights ago when you said, 'But you're no stranger. I feel like as if I've known for years!'?"

"That night I wasn't myself," Rachel said as she turned away from Harry and walked inside her apartment.

"Yes you were!" Harry yelled angrily, "It's today that you aren't! It's today that you're lying, to try and convince me and convince yourself that your life is a fairytale and that you're marrying the prince!"

"Don't use that sarcastic tone with me, Harry! Don't you dare!"

"Why not? Am I not right?"

"This is not the point ok? Tomorrow I am marrying Adriano Diaz!"

"No you aren't!" Harry said with a laugh. "Tomorrow you'll be in my arms."

"Are you deaf?"

"Musically? Yes! I am so deaf, I can't play one single guitar note."

"Then let me tell you something Harry. Even if you manage to learn a whole guitar song by tomorrow, I'd still never come back to you! I am getting married and no one will stop me! Even your guitar tunes won't!"

"Why are you blocking yourself from happiness? I can make you so happy," Harry said pleadingly. Rachel sobbed again and answered,

"Everyone's so happy for me and Adriano. Everyone thinks everything's perfect. I can't ruin their happiness. I can't tell them they're wrong!"

"But you do think that they're wrong! Don't you?"

"It doesn't matter!"

"Yes it does. You're ruining your life and mine!"

"I'm sorry Harry. But this is life."

"Life is what we make it to be. We decide our life! We change our destiny. And tomorrow I'm gonna change ours!"

"No Harry! Don't you dare do anything!"

"Good night Rachel, see you tomorrow!" Harry said ignoring her prayers and left her apartment in hurry. Rachel fell on the floor and started crying as she knew that Harry was right in everything but she was not brave enough to do as he asked.

-----

"You look so beautiful Rachel!" Jan said excitedly as she

arranged Rachel's long white veil. Jan was Rachel's bridesmaid and had spent the last month injecting in Rachel's head that she was doing the right thing and that everything was great!

"Sure," Rachel said without enthusiasm.

"What's wrong Rachel?"

"Nothing. Come on let's go down, it's time!"

"Everything's gonna be perfect!" Jan exclaimed and Rachel rolled her eyes and the slowly walked down the stairs. Music was heard and people looked at the two beautiful girls accompanied by the flower girl and a little boy.

People were so happy for them, everyone was smiling with enthusiasm except Rachel. She looked sad and her eyes were full of tears.

She suddenly saw Adriano standing by the altar looking proud and happy and more sadness captured her heart as she started walking all the way towards him. After 20 seconds of torture, she felt Adriano's hands pushing softly the veil behind her head and her sad face was exposed. Adriano did not care if his bride was happy or not. All that mattered was that he had her next to him on the altar.

"Welcome everyone. Adriano and Rachel would like thank you for being with them on this special day. We join them in celebrating their union and contemplate with joy their future. Let the celebration begin!" the Priest started happily and soon the mass started.

Rachel looked at the beautifully decorated hall and looked at the door not listening to a word the priest was saying. There was no Harry trying to stop the Wedding. She looked at Adriano's face and saw Harry's instead. For the 2nd time Rachel looked at the door and there saw Harry entering and with a run approaching her, Adriano and the Priest. He had a blue electric guitar in his hand and without speaking a word, in total 5 seconds plugged his guitar and started singing with his heart,

"And I'm glad I crashed the wedding
its better than regretting
I could have lost again running in my head saying
that I will do it anyday
true love lasts forever
and now we are back together
and since it's for the better
looking back, I'm glad I crashed the wedding!"

Rachel started laughing for the first time in a month whilst the people looked scandalised. But this time Rachel didn't care. It was her happiness that counted and not others' and with that she threw her bouquet on the floor, removed the veil from her head and her hair fell round her face. She ran towards Harry and he dropped his guitar on the floor and hand in hand the two ran away from the Hall.

"No!" Adriano called but Rachel stopped running and turned to face him.

"I'm sorry, I have to do this. I don't love you and neither do you. We can't be happy! I'm doing this for all of us. Good bye Adriano and thanks for everything!"

Rachel then faced Harry and the two smiled happily and ran away.

-----

As the two reached outside Rachel saw a beautiful white convertible Mini Cooper. Harry helped her get in it. Harry got in the car too and speeded away from St.Paul's Cathedral.

After minutes of silence Rachel said,

"Your music … Your hopeless music made me come to you!"

"It's not hopeless music!" Harry answered in fake defense, "I spent a whole night learning how to sing and play!"

Rachel laughed harder and told him,

"Thanks Harry! It means so much for me. I realized that I couldn't marry Adriano. I just couldn't. I love you too much."

"So do I," was Harry's sincere answer. It felt like talking with his Ginny again.

After hours of driving the two arrived by the beach and walking bare footed, found a spot where they could sit. Rachel was still with her wedding dress on and the two were embraced watching sunset when suddenly Harry realized that he had only few hours left for the month to pass and the game to lose.

With that Harry gently pulled Rachel's face towards his and at last the two were reunited with true love's kiss.
