Hair Dye & Emotion

Chapter 37

*Alicia POV*

It had been none stop planning for the wedding for the past 2 months and now everything was ready apart from the guys suits but they were going to pick them out today. Ashton was picking Michael up from ours and then going to get Calum and Luke then heading to Classy Cuts, a shop that solded tailored suits and such whilst I went to relax with Lucy and Ashleigh for the afternoon. The wedding was a month away and I was so nervous. I loved Michael so much and I'm ready to marry him but it's still going to be one of the biggest days of my life unless I have kids. I was looking forward to just relaxing and not having to think WEDDING WEDDING WEDDING. It was coming up summer again so Lucy had removed the pool cover but she would only dip Ashleigh's feet in the pool which was understandable, the kid was only 4 months old, but she was starting to want to explore her surroundings. Lucy was getting really frustrated when it was feeding time because something would distract her and she would turn her head away from the spoon or bottle she was being fed. She trying to feed her when I arrived.

"Ashleigh, please! Open up for mummy" She raised her arm and started to moved the spoon around.

"Here comes the airoplane!" She made a noise that resembled an airoplane and Ashleigh turned her head away again.

"Here, let me try?" I took the spoon from her and took myself down to her level.

"Ashleigh! Open up for Auntie Licia!" She opened her mouth slighly and I put the spoon in her mouth.

"You have a gift with children." Lucy sighed. I smiled and finished feeding Ashleigh. Lucy cleaned up all the food off of her face whilst I cleaned up the dish she had used for the baby food. After all the cleaning we was done, we placed Ashleigh on her stomach in the living room with some toys to keep her occupied. I turned on the T.V and turned to the music channel. I absentmindedly watched the music video to All I Want by A Day To Remember, faintly hearing Lucy talking about something.a hand waving in front of my face broke me out of my reverie.

"ALICIA! How are you really doing?" She asked me when I finally aknowledged her and met her eyes.

"Honestly? I'm nervous as fuck. I love Michael so much and I've come to realise I never loved Jason. I only thought I did. This is real love. It sends butterflies through my stomach and makes me feel like I'm on cloud 9. In a month's time I will be married. That's just so much to take in... Fuck!! I'm so nervous! Am I supposed to feel like this?" My breathing was shaky and so were my hands.

"To be quite honest? I'd be worried if you weren't nervous. You think I wasn't scared when I found out I was pregnant? Fuck, I was scared shitless when I went into labour! The guys missed half of their show because of that and I still feel guilty to this day but that can't be helped." She placed her hand on my arm and I felt a wave of serenity and calm wash over me. Lucy always had a calming effect to her touch. Whenever Ash got worked up, she just grabbed his hand or something and he instantly calmed down. Whenever I begin to panic or freakout she would hug me or place her hand on my arm like she was doing now and I would feel calm. You could say she had supernatural calming powers. We sat down on the sofas, watching Ashleigh play with her toys and listening to music whilst we talked about everything. At 4pm, Ashleigh was asleep in Lucy's arms. She had dozed off at about 3:30. We heard car doors slamming outside so I rose quickly from the couch and ran to the front door to meet the guys and tell them to be quiet. I through the front door open just as Ashton was about to open it and he literally jumped out of his skin, jumping back, squealing slightly.

"Jesus!" He shouted.

"No, just me. I came to tell you to be quiet, Ashleigh is sleeping" They all nodded and Michael walked over to me and kissed me sweetly. When I pulled away, I noticed that the boys were all holding garment bags.

"Are they your suits? Do they follow the colour scheme? I swear if you guys..." I trailed off and I could feel my breathing picking up again. I thought I was going to hyperventilate when I felt that calming hand on my arm again. I turned to see Lucy stood beside me, Ashleigh balanced on one arm, her other on my shoulder.

"Calm down. Guys, don't stress her out. Did you get APPROPRIATE suits? No mankinis, this isn't a Borat wedding... MICHAEL" I snickered as Michael looked at us with mock hurt on his face.

"Hey! Why was that directed at me?" I just shrugged my shoulders and wrapped my arms around his waist whilst he passed his bag to Calum who was taking them upstairs to where Alicia had stored her gown. There was also another bridesmaid gown up there. My cousin Georgia had agreed to be my bridesmaid along with Lauren. I wasn't particularly close to Georgia but she was the only member on my mum's side of the family that I still talked to. I had invited my dad's parents to the wedding because I was close with them but no one else. Ashton's mum, Harry and Lauren were coming. Calum's family were coming, Luke's family and brother's were coming and obviosuly Michael's. Michael's dad was giving me away. I wouldn't have aked for anyone better. I rested my head against his chest and sighed.

"Just one more month baby, and you'll be Mrs Clifford" Michael whispered as he kissed jsut below my ear, sending shivers down my spine. Ashton had taken a sleeping Ashleigh from Lucy's arms and was watching her sleep with a proud look on his face. I couldn't help but smile. I'd never seen so much pride on anyone's face before. Ashleigh had the most adorable dress for the wedding. It was the same colour as Lucy's and Georgia's but Ashleigh was a little flower girl and Harry was the ring bearer. We all wandered back inside and Ashton took Ashleigh up to bed, bringing the baby monitor back down the stairs. Me and Lucy were cooking chicken curry and rice in the kitchen. We had consumed way too much pizza lately and it was time we all ate a decent meal. My phone buzzed next to me to tell me I had a twitter notification and a text. I had a DM so I opened that first. It was just a fan congratulating me on the wedding. I interacted a lot with the fans but I ignored the haters because I don't need that kind of negativety. My text message was a message from the officer who had arrested Jason telling me to call him. I dailled the number and he answered almost automatically.

"Miss Livesey, I'm so glad you called." He sounded wary and I began to worry.

"Yes officer, is everything okay?" There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time before he replied.

"Firstly, I want to congratulate you on your engagement but let's cut to the chase. We assessed Jason phyciatrically and there was nothing wrong with him so we sent him straight to jail. We had collected enough evidence to avoid a court case. But I have some back news, Miss Livesey. Jason had escaped holding. He broke out of the prison. He is on the lose and could be anywhere."
