Bloodstream

Chapter 27

The water runs over my silky legs, freshly exfoliated and shaven. I close my eyes and breathe in the steamy shower air. There's a knock at the shower door.
"Yes?" I yell. Taylor opens the door a little bit.
"Hurry up in there Skyler, you have a wedding to get to in 3 hours miss!" She shuts the door with a great sigh and I laugh. Turning off the water in my shower I step out and wrap a warm towel around me. Kitty bursts in without warning and pulls me out of the master bedrooms bathroom and downstairs to the massive bathroom of our private resort that has been taken over by my stylist and bridesmaids. Kitty's hands are on my shoulders pushing me into the well lit room where Taylor, the maid of honour and Kennedy and Katlyne the bridesmaids stand ready to make me look like a bride. They sit me down in the chair surrounded by tables covered in makeup and hair products and a ton of other stuff. The place looks like a salon with the mirror on the wall and the sink and the make up. I feel my stomach churning with nerves. I wonder what Ed is doing right now. Is he organising the groomsmen? Are the groomsmen organising him? God only knows. I sit back as Kitty washes my hair and Taylor paints my nails. Katlyne's talking to the flower people and Kennedys gone to get the dresses. Everything goes by in a blur of make up and nerves, and before I know it I'm being slipped into my dress. I chose it out with Taylor. It's so beautiful with a tight top and a bottom that flows to the ground and trails behind me. My shoes are tall and white. I stare at the ring on my finger that will soon be joined by another one. The day of our engagement was full of such intensity. To start of dead then finish off engaged is a big deal. I feel a tingling in the back of my mind. Mason. Ever since he brought my life back, we have been bonded through death touch, which I am now a part of. We can't explain how I am alive but that doesn't matter. I'm here and I'm getting married. Right now!
"It's a beautiful day here in Greece at the wedding of the worlds most beloved couple, Ed Sheeran and Skyler Harrison" says the reporter on channel E! I roll my eyes. No privacy at all, even at my own wedding. Finishing touches are done on my hair by Kitty and she plays around with the curls and veil. I smile and hug everybody then we step outside to get into the cars. My stomach fills with butterflies again as I sit in the passenger side of my brand new Koenigsegg Regera. I remember my panic attack when Ed told me he asked for my one:1 to be taken away. Luckily for me my uncle rescued it and it sits in my garage back home in England. We arrive at the wedding venue and I look out over the beautiful city of Greece. The deep blue water, the outstanding architecture, the sunny sky. It couldn't be more perfect. We get out of the cars and wait to walk down the aisle. Uncle Jeremy comes to my side and he gasps at the sight of....not me...the car. I face palm and laugh as he marvels at the car I arrived in. After 5 minutes he turns to me.
"Ah. The real beauty of the day" he says. I can see him tearing up as he takes my hand. "I remember when you were a little girl and you use to dress up like a princess. You look like that little girl today. Beautiful. But now you're all grown up and you have a prince to dress up with." I wipe away a tear that's rolling down my cheek.
"You're still my King uncle Jeremy" I say. He embraces me and I hear the music start to play. I watch as my bridesmaids make their way down the aisle and then I find myself walking down, my arm linked with Jeremy, to the man of my dreams. Ed. He smiles and me with awe and I return the affection. Taking my hand Ed pulls me in front of him where we he whispers "you look beautiful". I blush and listen to the words spoken. When Ed is asked to say his vows I drink in everything he says as tears escape my eyes.
"Do you, Ed sheeran, take Skyler Harrison to be your wife?" He smiles at me.
"I do"
"And do you, Skyler Harrison, take Ed to be your husband?"
"I d-" I am cut off by the crash of thunder and flash of lightning. The ground starts shaking and I reach for Eds arm as everybody screams. The sky flashes and rain pours as a smoky mist surrounds us. Then, as if by magic, the mist gathers in front of me and forms a body. James.
