Emery I couldn’t believe Elijah had asked Vivian to come to my wedding. Hell I should’ve just called up Jasper and asked him to come too. We could make it a whole family reunion up in here. I stomped back upstairs to my room and straight to the window, lighting a cigarette and smoking it. “Did you find him?” Layla asked. “Yup..” I said. I had gone down to see where Elijah had gone. But I got more than I bargained for. Bridge was next to me then looking at me worriedly. “What happened?” She asked. I told her and she frowned. “Why would he invite her?” She said. I looked behind me at the others .. making sure no one heard. Then I got out my phone and typed the message for her to read. ‘She knows his voice.’Bridges eyebrows shot up and she nodded in understanding. I mean I got it. Elijah would do any and everything under the sun and moon to protect me. And this was his reasoning. He wanted a leg up.. or a contention plan. A backup in case the plan didn’t work .. or a head st
Elijah Seeing Emery in her wedding dress for the first time just about blew me away. I’d never ever in my life seen anything so breathtakingly beautiful. She looked like some sort of fairy snow princess. And I wasn’t the only one who couldn’t take my eyes off her. Every single person here had their eyes glued to her. We’d done things backwards… deciding to take pictures first. Well I don’t know if it’s backwards or not. Can’t say that I’ve been to tons of weddings. Anyway. She made we wait on her downstairs in the living room by myself. Her friend Aimee and I the only two there.. and she was only there to grab pictures. Emery looked every bit the princess walking down the stairs in her dress. She was floating. And I couldn’t breathe. Then I turned into the worlds biggest pussy and cried. But I didn’t care. I watched our entire lives together as she made her way towards me. From the time we were small kids, playing outside in the dirt .. starting school together. When me and the b
EmeryThe day had arrived. It was the day I would leave one life behind .. and step into a new one. The day I would stand with Elijah, and our two souls became one. The day I got to marry my best friend .. the boy that I had loved and adored and wanted to protect since childhood. Even though he ended up being the protector of me. Today I became Emery Stone. I had assumed I’d be nervous today. The wedding .. obviously … but more so the plan.. was looming over my head. But instead I felt an almost eerie calm. It settled over me like a blanket from the moment I had woken up. I didn’t know what it was or how or why. But shit I would take it. I wasn’t going to question it or think about it too much, just in case it decided to disappear. Bridge had gone out and gotten me coffee and muffins for breakfast. After we ate the girls and I decided to do our hair and makeup here, at home. And once we’d finished that we headed over to Vincent’s. Leon was at my door waiting when I opened it.
Elijah It was wedding day. To say I was nervous was an understatement. I was a ball of pent up worried energy. Even after last night… I don’t know if I was more worried about our plan or if it was because it’s my wedding day.. or both. Probably both. This morning I had written out my vows. We didn’t discuss what we would say to each other, but I knew Emery had written hers. I had caught her a few times in the last few weeks working on them. But I waited until today. Because I wanted to write out exactly what I was feeling in this very moment. God I’m so whipped. I was finally getting to marry the girl of my dreams. The girl I had loved my entire life. I couldn’t wait for all the adventures we would have together. That is, if everything went according to plan tonight. Last night the guys and I had stayed at Vincent’s before I lost the battle with myself and went to see Emery. Something was just pulling me to her so I had to go. We’d sat around drinking my dads expensive vint
EmeryThe girls and I had finally traipsed up to bed after hours of story telling and drinking. I’d given Joanne and Aimee each one of the guest rooms and Layla took my old room. Bridge slept in my room with me.. as per usual. I wasn’t able to sleep though. So I just laid there wide awake staring at the ceiling.. thinking about tomorrow. My phone pinged .. signaling a message. I frowned because it was around one o’clock in the morning or after. But when I looked at it.. I saw that it was Elijah. ‘You awake?’ He asked. I quickly typed back a reply. ‘Yes. Can’t sleep..’ A second later he wrote back: ‘I’m coming over.’So I pulled myself out of bed and went to the bathroom. Then I went downstairs and made some coffee. I know .. really smart, drinking coffee when I can’t sleep. But it doesn’t keep me awake. For whatever weird reason it relaxes me. A moment later he was at my door. “Hi.” He said grinning. “Hi.” I replied. He came in and looked at my coffee. “You're the only p
EmeryI couldn’t believe it. My wedding was here. When Elijah had asked me to marry him on my birthday, I never imagined the wedding would come together so quickly. But then again, that seems like a lifetime ago and it’s only been a little over two months. It’s February. And officially a year since I got my second chance at life, my do-over. And I couldn’t think of a more perfect time to marry the man I loved. We’d gotten back from our trip to Stowe a few days ago. And then it was crunch time. I had a lot of finalizing to do. I don’t think I’ve sat down for more than five minutes in days. We had our final meeting with Vincent about the plan. Everything was set and in place. Everyone knew what they had to do. Originally we planned to do it before the wedding. But I had decided I wanted to at least enjoy that part of the night. So now it’s happening once it’s over. After the vows and the ceremony, we will have the reception. Then we will do the plan. Shit I was getting a little
