Chapter 34 Getting Married?! [Follow Your Heart Extra: (Does spit take) What?!]
Finn's POV
Delia and I were having a wonderful dinner.
I took a deep breath.
"Deila", I started.
"Yes", she asked.
With that I...got out the ring! [Follow Your Heart Extra: No! No!]
It was white with small, cream pearls on it. [Follow Your Heart Extra: Dang it! It's a lovely ring.]
Delia gasped when she saw it.
"Finn", she said in shock.
"Delia", I started. "I think you and I will go quite splendidly together. So, will you marry me?" [Follow Your Heart Extra: Say no! Say no!]
Delia smiled at me.
"I would love to." [Follow Your Heart Extra: She didn't say no.]
One Hour Later
I was back at Delia's house when Ash walked down the stairs.
"Ash", I said as I walked up to him. "Good news!"
"What", Ash asked.
"Your mom and I are getting married!"
Ash looked at me in shock.
"What", he asked. "Since when?"
"I proposed just an hour ago", I replied. "Isn't it wonderful?"
Ash looked at me in disbelief before running to his bedroom.
He'll come around. [Follow Your Heart Extra: No he won't!]
Ash's POV
I was crying on my bed when Andy walked in.
He looked at me in shock when he saw I was crying.
"Ash", he said as he ran up to me. "What's wrong?"
"Andy", I started. "My mom and Finn are getting married."
Andy looked at me in shock.
"What", he said. "Are you sure?"
"He told me himself", I replied. "He proposed to her just an hour ago."
"No", he said as he rubbed his forehead. "No this can't happen!"
"Are you okay", I asked as I sat up. "You seem more upset over this than I am." [Follow Your Heart Extra: Yeah. Another dude is marrying his wife!]
"It's just", Andy started. "I know how much you don't like him." [Follow Your Extra: Lies!]
"I miss my dad", I stated. "I wish he was here." [Follow Your Heart Extra: He's the guy talking to you!]
"He is Ash", Andy stated as he hugged me. "He is always with you."
"I just don't get why he left", I revealed. "Did he not want me?"
"Not at all Ash", Andy stated. "I...I mean he...loved you the minute he found out about you!"
"How do you know", I asked. "You weren't there."
"Your mother told me the story of when she told your father she was pregnant", Andy revealed. "The way she explains his reaction is the same way I reacted when I found out my wife was pregnant. And even though I don't live with him anymore, I still love him with all of my heart." [Follow Your Heart Extra: For those who don't remember, in Chapter 25 Ashton lied that he had a son and a wife he was no longer with.]
"What happened between you and your wife anyway", I asked.
"It just didn't work out", Andy replied. "But I still love her with all of my heart."
I looked down sadly.
"You know", I started. "I am beginning to realize that love is not an easy thing."
"No it is not", Andy agreed. "But it's worth it."
I nodded.
"Can you leave me alone for a bit", I asked.
"Of course", Andy replied.
With that I laid down and Andy kissed my forehead.
I couldn't help but wonder if my dad would've done the same for me if he was still here. [Follow Your Heart Extra: He's doing it right now Ash.]
"Hey", Andy said getting me to look at him. "It will be alright buddy."
I nodded before putting my head down.
I hope so.
Ten minutes Later
Ashton's POV
I knocked on Sophie's door and she opened.
"Ashton", she said in confusion. "What are you doing here? It's late."
"Sophie", I started. "Delia and Finn are getting married."
"What", Sophie said in shock. "Are you sure?"
"Dead sure", I replied.
"Oh Ashton", Sophie said before hugging me. "You know? You could stop all of this if you told Delia the truth."
"I doubt it", I revealed.
"What do you mean", Sophie asked as she pulled away.
"I left Sophie", I pointed out. "I left Delia to take care of our son all by herself."
"To protect them", Sophie stated.
"I don't think Delia will see it that way", I stated. "Let's face it. I've lost her."
Sophie looked at sympathetically before giving me another hug.
I can't believe I've lost Delia.
HotXbun: Don't give up Ashton! There is still hopes!
Challenge: Tell me what you think Ashton should do.
My Answer: Tell Delia the truth!
