Hailey's pov:

"Okay, we're gonna go out there and act like nothing happened, okay?" Brook looked at me weirdly. "Why!? Don't you want to tell everyone?" "No. Not yet anyway. I don't want to take the spotlight away from Xero. Today's her day." I said and she nodded. "You're right. But you have to tell them after." I took a deep breath. "I will." She hugged me and we both smiled. "Okay. Let's get out of here. You go check on Xero and I'll see if the guys are moving on schedule." I said. "Got it. Just don't be too long. She's gonna go crazy without you." She said and I laughed. We got out of the bathroom and I headed straight to where the guys were.

Jacks's pov:

"God is this the right decision?! What if she doesn't actually love me!?" Corbyn was super nervous already. He was going on and on and all of the guys kept reassuring him but it wasn't working. Hailey walked in and shook her head. "What is going on?!" She said and I took a slight sigh of relief. "Oh, thank God you're here baby-" I went to hug her but she rushed past me. "Sorry bubby, not right now." I made a shocked face. That's weird. She always has time for a hug. I could tell that she was getting stressed. Xero was probably giving her shit too. Poor thing. It's still weird that she didn't even give me a chance though. I'm just overthinking. She's probably fine. "Corbyn's freaking out about marrying Xero and we tried to talk to him but it's barely working." Zach said. "Okay. Corbyn, go outside and take a few deep breaths. Get some fresh air and just remember, your marrying the love of your life." She said and he got up. "The love of my life." He mumbled as he walked out. Corbyn stepped out and Hailey immediately turned the rest of us. "Can you guys check if everything is okay at the altar?" They nodded and started to walk out. Instead of following them I went to Hailey and put my hand on her arm attempting to calm her. "Baby, is everything okay?" "Huh? Yeah, everything's fine." She avoided eye contact. "Are you sure?" She nodded. I pulled her close to me and put my hands on her waist. She smiled a bit and looked up at me. I kissed her forehead and she took a deep breath. We stood there in silence for a few seconds as I admired her. "You should uh... you should go to the altar." She said in more of a whisper. I put my hand on the back of her neck and planted my lips on hers. She put her hands on my chest and our kisses got more passionate. I pulled her closer to me and my hands wandered all over her. "Baby.. baby we should.." she said in between kisses. "We should get going." She finished her sentence and I groaned. "But baby I-" "Jack." She shook her head at me and laughed a little. She kissed me one last time and we left the room. I went to the altar and Hailey went to Xero.

I got to where the guys were and Corbyn was already back. Everything looked like it was going according to plan and it was good to see. Corbyn looked a bit off though like he had just seen a ghost or something. "Corbyn, are you okay?" I asked and he nodded, avoiding eye contact. What's wrong with everyone? First Hailey being all weird and stopping sex, and now Corbyn's weird too? I mean I know he's getting married but shouldn't he be happy? I shook it off and started to help set up. Guests started to slowly walk in. All of our parents arrived slowly and when my family came, they had Lavender. She ran down the aisle and I crouched down as she came into my arms. I smiled wide as we hugged tight. "I missed you dadda." She said and my heart melted. "I missed you too, princess." I picked her up and she rested her head on my shoulder. "You need to go to auntie Brook and Hailey okay? They're gonna help you get ready." I said and she nodded. Lav was going to be the flower girl since she was close to Corbyn and he didn't really know any other children. I took her to the room where the girls were. I opened the door and both Brook and Hailey's eyes lit up. "LAV!" They both yelled and ran up to me. Brook grabbed Lav and took her to where her dress was, Hailey following her. "Thanks, Jack. We'll have her ready in no time." Brook said and Hailey nodded. I saw Brook whisper something to Hailey but I couldn't hear her. "Ahem!" Xero looked at me and did a spin. "The dress looks great, Xero." Her angry look turned to a smile. "Thank you, Jack." She said. "I'm going to head back out there. I'll see you in a bit, ladies." I left the room and went back to help set up the last touches. Corbyn has been quiet the entire time with his head down. We all asked him a few times if everything was okay and each time he nodded or said yes. We all got into our places and I could tell Corbyn was incredibly nervous. Everyone quieted down and the music slowly started playing. Corbyn walked down the aisle. The guys, Kelly, Hailey, and I followed him. Hailey was right next to me and we walked hand in hand. I can't wait to walk down the aisle at our wedding someday. I'm going to marry her. This one is mine forever. Everyone clapped and smiled. We all stood in our places and Corbyn stood in front of the priest. Brook walked in next, Lav's hand wrapped around her finger. Brook held a little basket filled with rose petals in front of Lav and she smiled as she took the petals and scattered them on the floor. They walked down the aisle together and Lav looked adorable. Lav came to me and she grabbed my hand. Brook took her place at the altar and now all we had to do was wait for the bride, Xero. The music changed and everyone stood up. We all looked to the doors and she walked down the aisle. Corbyn finally lifted his head and cracked a smile as he saw her. They stood in front of each other and looked into each other's eyes. The officiant started talking but I could barely pay attention. I was still worried about Hailey and I didn't want her to hide from me. Minutes passed and I snapped out of my trance. "... do you, Corbyn Besson, take Xero Bishops to be your lawfully wedded wife. To love and to cherish, in sickness and in health. Forever and ever do you?" The officiant said. Corbyn looked at him and looked back at Xero with a slight smile. "I do." "And do you, Xero Bishops, take Corbyn Besson to be your lawfully wedded husband. To love and to cherish, in sickness and in health. Forever and ever do you?" She looked at the audience and her smile slowly faded. Her eyes got glassy and she looked towards the door. She looked into Corbyn's eyes and she started to tear up. "Babe?" Corbyn said, waiting for an answer. She whispered something only Corbyn heard and the next thing we all knew she ran back down the aisle. "XERO! BABY WAIT!" Corbyn said, his eyes filled with tears. She quickly went out of the door and we all went after her. We all yelled for her to stop but she wouldn't listen. She picked up her dress as she rushed to her car. She got into the front seat and drove out of the parking lot. I saw her look into the rearview mirror and into Corbyn's eyes as she left. She ran away.
