I'm back pppppppppppiiiiiiiiiiiiiippppppppppoooooooooolllllllllll!!!!!!!!😆😆🎉🎉

Well I decided to upload the other 3 side stories and upload the first chapter of Married at 18 tomorrow😅😅

So here ya go!!!😁😁

"Sweetie wake up!!!!" Someone pushed me out of my bed.

"OWWW!!! WHAT THE--- M-mom?" I blinked, as I saw my mom beaming with a wiiiiide smile on her face.

She grabbed my arm dragging me out of the room. "It's your big day!!!"

Wha-- what big day?!

I look around and I'm not in my room, then I stared at my ring finger with a ring on it.

I FORGOT!!!

I'M GETTING MARRIED!!!!

I quickly ran into the bathroom happily and bathed myself in the tub.

I heard my mom yelled, "I'm gonna get your wedding dress!!"

"Okay!!" I replied.

After bathing, I put on my robe and sat in front of the mirror. Mom arrived with the makeup artist as I dried my hair with a blower. She hanged the gown at the wardrobe.

She held my face gently. "My daughter is all grown up..." She sobbed.

I chuckled. "Mom, what's up with that?"

She wipe her tears and said, "I'm just happy... I have also to get ready.." She kissed my forehead.

"Okay..." I replied with a smile.

She left the room leaving me and the makeup artist in the room.

"Shall we?" She said with a smile.

I nodded, smiling back at her then she start to do her magic, putting some make up on my face and fixing my hair. After that, I walk towards my gown, hanging on my wardrobe. A white ball gown features a sleeveless fitted bodice, with a wide, long full skirt going down to the floor.

That gown sure is soo long....

"Then miss, let's put it on you," The makeup artist said.

"Okay," I said with a smile.

I put it on slowly and gently to not ruin my makeup and my beautiful braided half up hair. The makeup artist tied the back of the gown and arrange my skirt.

"You look beautiful miss!!" She said in admiration.

I smiled at her. "Thank you.."

She turned to my bed and took a shoe box and opened it in front of me.

Wow...

Those shoes are... Wow...

It's a laced white high heels, with crystal laces on the back. I put it on and it perfectly fits on my feet, it feels comfortable.

I twirled and look at myself at the mirror. Wow...

I heard someone knocked at the door. "Umm... Could you please open it for me?" I asked the makeup artist.

She nodded and walk towards the door, revealing mom and dad.

I turned and smiled at them. "Hi.." I sobbed.

Mom walked towards me. "Oh! Don't cry, your makeup will get ruined!!"

I hold back my tears and sat to a chair near the mirror.

Dad walked towards me and gave me a bouquet of beautiful silky white roses.

"My daughter is getting married!!" She said happily holding dad's hand.

"I-I'm kinda nervous..." I muttered.

Dad patted my shoulder. "Every bride is always nervous before getting married."

Another makeup artist knocked in our room. "Uhh... Excuse me, the groom is now ready.. And the priest are also ready."

"Okay, we'll be right there," Mom replied.

I stood up and took a shaky breath. Mom caressed my cheeks. "It's gonna be alright sweetie."

I immediately gave them a bear hug. "I love you.." I whispered. They hugged back.

We let go and mom started fanning herself, holding her tears back. "Let's go, you're groom must be waiting.."

I nodded.

•~~~~~•

I stood at the door, feeling nervous. Okay Athy... Deep breaths, deep breaths.

I heard the music changed and it's time for me to go in. The gigantic doors opened up slowly, revealing a lot of people looking at me.

I feel like I want to run. But I shook it off mentally and walk slowly towards the aisle. I look up and saw a familiar raven haired jerk about to tear up with Kiel patting his back with a teasing smile on his face.

You're gonna get killed again dude...

But seeing him in a tux... He looked more handsome. He caught me staring at him and smiled, I smiled back. Ahhh!! Stop the tears!!

As I reached at the end of the aisle, Lucas walked towards me and held my hand gently. "You look beautiful, my love.."

I chuckled at his words. "And you too looked very charming today."

We walked towards the priest and motioned us to kneel on the pew in front of us. I'm smiling like an idiot right now, I'm getting married with the man that I loved for years.

"Let me charge you both to remember, that your future happiness in found to be mutual consideration, patience, kindness, confidence and affection. Lucas, it is your duty to love Athanasia as yourself, provide tender leadership, and protect her from danger. Athanasia, it is your duty to treat Lucas with respect, support him and create a healthy and happy home. It is the duty of each of you to find the greatest joy in the company of each other; to remember that in both interest and affection, you are to be one and undivided," Said the priest.

The priest turned to Lucas. "Lucas Eleanor will you have Athanasia Obelia as your lawfully wedded wife to live together as a friend and mate? Will you love her as a person, respect her as an equal, sharing joy as well as sorrow, triumph as well a defeat. And keep her beside you as long as you both shall live?"

"I do, Father, with all my heart," Lucas answered, smiling from ear to ear. Aahhh!! I'm gonna cry!!!

The priest then turned to me. "Athanasia Obelia will you have Lucas Eleanor as your lawfully wedded husband to live together as a friend and mate? Will you love him as a person, respect him as an equal, sharing joy as well as sorrow, triumph as well a defeat. And keep him beside you as long as you both shall live?"

"I do." I sobbed... Tears ran down to my cheeks.

•~~~~~•

Lucas took my hands as he place a ring on my finger. "Athanasia, Athy, Sia, the love of my life. As the cliché says, you showed up when I was least expecting you. Ever since that I met you in that bustling cafeteria with many noisy students, at first I think you are just one with the annoying fangirls squealing, wanting to have attention from me but you're different. Your bratty attitude, clumsiness, loud voice, you're different from all of them." He chuckled.

Still making fun of me!! I'm crying here you know!!

"I am amazed by your idiotic mind and tickled by your sense of humor. I may not want to admit it, but I even love your awful puns. I still remember your red face on our first kiss, I still remember how much you cling to me when you are lost in the forest, I still remember you're annoyed face when I annoy you, I also still remember how much you cared for me when I am with you."

Don't make me cry... Stupid onions...

"In these past 12 years, we've experienced great triumphs and literal disasters together," He continued, "These trials have pushed the boundaries of what we thought we could endure, and in the end, I feel more strongly connected with you in a resolve to get up and try again. You have struck me through the best and worst, and loved all that I am. I vow to be the man that you inspire me to be and the man that you deserve. I vow to wake up every morning and thank God that he gave me you, my perfect woman."

My tears can't stop flowing. It's rare for you to talk this much..

"I promise to do my best to age gracefully in body and soul, and not to become a cranky old man. I promise to not to annoy you... Well I maybe can't promise that... I will forever be there to laugh with you and lift you up when you are down, and love you unconditionally through all of our adventures in life together."

He held my hand gently, caressing it.

"And in the name of God, I vow to take you as my wife, to have and to hold, from this day on forward, for better or worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish for as long as we both shall live. This is my solemn vow."

I inhale trying to calm myself from crying.

I held Lucas' hand and put on the ring on his finger. "Lucas Eleanor, you jerk you made me cry.." I sobbed, chuckling lightly.

"Lucas, I am truly blessed to be a part of your life, which as of today becomes our life together. At first, I hate you, really really hate you, that smug face plastered all over your face, your sarcastic tone, your lazy attitude but in the end I fell in love with you, I fell really hard to you."

He chuckled, wiping my tears with his thumb.

"I simply don't like to make decisions. But if there is one decision in my life that I know is the right one, that is to spend the rest of my life with you. We we're separated for a long time 12 years ago but still you came back to me, proving that you still love me as you hug me tightly in the woods." I sobbed as I remember that night.

He looked at me softly, tears suddenly flowed down to his cheeks.

The people here got a little confused at the last part but I don't care, it's just me and him looking at each other with love and care.

"Of all the people you've met on your journey and of all the places you've been, somehow and someway, you ended up here-with me. It is the most powerful and humbling fact that I can accept. I used to think that we met by chance but now I know without a doubt that the universe put you in front of me because we were meant to spend our lives together."

"I promise to encourage your dreams, because that is what makes you so unique," I continued, "I promise to celebrate the joy of every day with you. You have filled my life with joy and have given me a sense of peace that I have never known. You are my best friend, my biggest supporter, and... The best backup singer a girl could ask for." I laughed, remembering his high pitch voice when we we're having a karaoke.

"I promise to make you laugh when you are taking yourself too seriously.I promise to hold your hand through the good times and through the bad times.I promise to be loyal and faithful and to put you before all else.I promise to never stop making up songs for you, although, I know you wish I would.And I promise that when we are old and gray, we will look back on our lives together and we have no regrets... From this day forward, you will never walk alone."

I held his hands very tight but gentle.

"And in the name of God, I vow to take you as my husband, to have and to hold, from this day on forward, for better or worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish for as long as we both shall live. This is my solemn vow."

This time I cried really hard. Lucas held my face very softly, also crying.

"In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. I will announce you husband and wife. Lucas Eleanor you may now kiss the bride," The priest said, smiling at us.

Lucas slowly put his lips on mine softly, I kissed back, putting my hands over his shoulders. Everyone in the church cheered, congratulating us.

"I love you Athanasia Eleanor," He whispered as we let go.

"I love you too Lucas Eleanor, now and forever," I responded.

We walked back down the aisle waving at everyone who keeps throwing some flower petals at us.

As we arrived outside, the girls called me to threw the bouquet. I turn around and threw it behind me.

"Oooohhhh," Everyone said.

I immediately turned and saw Jennette holding the bouquet, blushing.

"Ooh, Kiel you're next.." Lucas said with a smug face, nudging Kiel's shoulders, also blushing.

I wish for your happiness...

We all celebrate for our wedding, some had given us gifts, some had sang for us or dance, some had given us emotional speech, it was very lively.

(And now.... The moment that you've been waiting for...😏😏)

...Is not here....
