I woke up the next morning with Liam missing. The spot where he once occupied last night emptied. The cool breeze in the room leaves my back with goosebumps, for Liam no longer lies behind me to warm it. When I get up, Liam stands admiring something in Lou's hands. My brows knit together in complete confusion but I continue making my way forwards.

"Look whose finally up." Lou chuckles as she zips up the dress bag.

"What's that for?" I question, nodding in the direction of it.

Lou hangs the bag on the closet door before leaving us to ourselves. Liam has the biggest smile I've ever seen plastered to his face, but the look in his eyes is hopeful. I sit down waiting for him to explain even though the curiosity is eating at me. I bounce my leg impatiently, trying to contain it I fold one leg over the other. Liam sits on the bed, searching for any sign of emotion written on my face. I try my best to keep my face neutral but I can feel the curiosity scribbled across it.

"Let's get married this week." He doesn't keep the excitement out his voice.

"What?" My voice squeaks.

"I love you to much to wait any longer."

I stare at him like he's crazy, waiting for him to say he's joking and only wanting to see the expression on my face. But he doesn't, he only smiles and looks eager for me to agree. He unzips the black bag hanging on the door and reveals this gorgeous sparkly gown. It was honestly the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.

"Lou took your sketch and added a few touches but it's mostly yours." Liam beams.

I stare at the gown, every detail perfectly executed. Softly touching the exquisite jewling, I stand amazed. Then Liam's question actually registers in my head let's get married this week. Could we do that? My parents would kill me.

"What do you say?" Liam asks smiling down at me.

"I don't know what to say." I answer.

"Then say yes."

Before I can respond again, Toni walks in with a giant smile on her face. Before I can say much she pulls me out the room and I'm met with Levontionna, someone I haven't seen in ages. I envelope her in a hug, missing her warmth. I missed her so much when I pull away I didn't even realize I've been crying. My cheeks hurt from smiling so hard but I can't but smile some more.

"Oh my gosh, it's been ages. I've missed you so much." I gush, pulling TT into another bear hug.

"I have to tell you guys all about my trip to India. It was splendid." She laughs.

"That'd be fantastic." Niall comes around the corner and joins the conversation.

I smile at him and I can sense the flirtatiousness behind the smile he gives me. Looking back to Liam, I can see he's gone mute and I'm probably the reason. Should I rush this wedding or take my time and get the dream wedding I've always wanted? I furrow my brows together in thought and confusion, completely forgetting the people around me.

"Are you guys alright?" Louis asks Liam and I.

"Yes." I answer, the same time as Liam says "No."

"Well now I'm quite unsure." I shrug.

Now it's everyone else's turn to go mute. They have no clue what to say, but that's fine, I don't care. Grabbing Toni and TT's arm, I lead the way to lobby. I honestly have no clue where I'm headed, I just know I have to get away from everyone else. It feels nice to only have my best friends to worry about judging me. Which they only do playfully.
