(Hi guys i'm writing again. This chapter is pretty short but it is the exact ending for the book. I'm sorry it took so long)
Everyone was staring. I didn't know how te' react. Me' father had just toltally and completely just went berserk over nothing. I felt like I should leave. I ruined Neil's special day. Neil's eyes were teared up, and I wasn't sure what te' do. Everything felt wrong and yet nobody moved. The guilt of letting that man come te' our wedding was crushing me and I felt me' legs quiver.
Everything stopped.
I turned on me' feet and started walking, dropping the boquet on the alter. No one said anything, everyone was dead silent. I had te' remove me'self from Neil, I had te' remove the monster from his sight. I walked past the crowds and I could feel Neil's eyes following me. I didn't know where I was going and I searched through the building te' find the door te' outside.
"Why are ye' stopping me, are ye' one of those fagots te'!?" Me' father was standing right outside the door screaming at George who was blocking the way te' the hall. George didn't respond but the look on his face said it all, he was pissed.
"Ye' son of a bitch!" I walked past George and did something I never thought I would ever do, I went te' punch me' father in the face. Someone's hand grabbed mine right before it impacted with the older man's face.
"Ry. He's not worth it." Neil spoke calmly. I turned te' face him and his stone cold face just made me' heart melt.
"Neil I'm so sorry." I reached for him, and he just opened his arms and held me. I let a couple tears fall onto his jacket. I could feel like me' father was about te' say something but then George spoke quickly.
"Sir I am not afraid of calling the guardai te' remove ye' from the premisis." Me' father grumbled and I heard his foot steps leave. Neil was next te' speak.
"George please go back inside and make sure everybodies still there. We'll be back in, in a minute."
"I let him come, I gave Paul his number. I houldn't have let him be here. I'm so sorry." I held onto him tight and I felt him kiss the top of me' head.
"Baby, I love ye'. Ye' didn't do nothing wrong, ye' had no control over him. In fact I'm actually very proud of ye'. Ye' gave him a chance te' redeem himself and he wasted that." He pulled me' chin up and I looked deep in his eyes. "Do you know why I asked Paul for us te' do the rings a little different? I wanted te' show everyone that we accepted each other and when we say I do we are saying 'I do accept you, and I do want te' protect ye'', ye' put this ring on me' hand because ye' want te' spend the rest of ye'r life with me, now let me prove te' everyone that ye'll be mine forever. " He gave me a light smile and lead me back into the hall. As we enter the main hall Damian and Keith were standing on one side of the alter, as Colm and Emmet stood on the other. Paul was standing at the alter still and George was just a little ways behind him. As we walked arm in arm the crowd stood and clapped in honor of us and I realized how stupid I must have looked running away. Finally we made our way back te' the alter. Everyone fell back into position and Damian handed both of us our respective boquets.
"Ryan Kelly" Paul's voice had a puesdo serious tone. "Do ye' still want te' be ye'r husband? Ye'r rock and foundation of everything ye' are? Do ye' accept him as being the person ye'll spend the rest of ye'r days with. Will ye' be there for him through thick and thin, rain or shine, sickness or health, birthday or anniversary?"
"I do." I said with a loud and proud voice as I pulled Neil's left hand up te' me' lips and gave the ring a kiss before I pulled it off te' put it back on with another kiss. I could see a light blush creep across Neil's cheeks as we stared into each others eyes.
"Neil Byrne." Paul said in a very firm voice and Neil was pulled back te' reality. Everyone waited for Paul to say something more."Will you stay with Ryan through everything? Will you still take him knowing that his father is a flaming douche-canoe? Will you still take Ryan as ye'r husband knowing he's a trainwreck, and a disaster? Can you be there for him even if something takes him away from ye'? Will ye' always be by side when he freaks out and needs a cool head?" I held me' breath as the weight of Paul's words sank on both me and him.
Silence rang.
"Forever and always to death and beyond." His voice didn't waver, his tears were gone, no trace of doubt in his face. "No one will ever make me regret ye' Ryan I love ye'. I do." Me' shell was breaking, I was about te' cry again. Neil pulled the ring from the cloth gracefully and effortlessly slipped in on me' finger. I was his, he was mine. I pulled on his hand and forced a deep kiss and the entire hall cheered in a loud revelry and Paul was cheering the loudest. I made the kiss last a second longer then it should and Pual's words are what brought us back te' the ground.
"Neil sign here." Neil chuckled and turned quickly scribbling his name down without much concern of what the signature looked like. "Okay..-" Paul let the silence sit a second then continued "oh yeah, Neil you may kiss the husband." Everyone laughed and Neil and I exchanged a sweet kiss. This time everybody cheered a bit quieter and then Paul lead us down the stairs and out the hall. I fought the instinct te' kiss him as we followed Paul eventually we were lead outside te' a driver holding a nice hat in his hands in front of a limo.
"Ye'r hat sir." The driver handed the fancy hat te' Paul who then got in the front driver seat of the limo and the driver walked in side the building. I opened the door and Neil slid in, and I after him. Today had it's hiccup but deep down I knew everything was going te' be okay or at least so I hoped.
-Dear Reader-dearests,
You have a choice. A delicate choice. I can continue this saga. This lovable cast of CT and their adventures...OR I can make a new saga with the CT guys and do a new dynamic. This is your choice. Regardless I'm back now and will keep writing this time. :)
