Forever || Ashton Irwin||second book to Together

The Wedding

*Flashback*

Just when we get downstairs the doorbells rings and I yell at my mom to say that I got it.

When I open the door Ashton is standing on the other side of it. I open my mouth to say something, but nothing comes out.

"I'm sorry if I am interrupting anything, but I wanted to give you this." He hands me a velvet box.

I open it up and see that it is a small simple band rings with words engraved on it.

Together Forever.

My heart swells, it's such a great gift. "Thank you Ashton, I love it."

He just nods at me.

"Um. Do you want to come in and hang out with Anna, Jackson and I?" I ask slowly because I know that he doesn't like Jackson.

He smiles that doesn't quite reach his eyes, "No, not today Alex, I'm sorry," He starts to say, and my heart sinks a little, but don't say anything.

"It's your day, so I am just going to crash at a friend's house here." I just nod, to scared to say anything.

He starts to turn away before I say, "Ashton," He turns around "Thanks, for the present." He just nods and grins a little. He just responds with,

"I'll wait for you, Alex." Then he starts to walk away.

I close the door, and stand there in shock until my mom comes.

"Who was at the door?"

"No one." I lie, and then I head back to Anna and Jackson in the living room.

"I can't believe I am here." I say in awe. I look around the apartment that I now live in Miami.

I look over at Jackson and smile at him. He smiles at me and walks over to me, and wraps an arm around my waist.

"Yeah, me too." He says while he opens a bottle of beer. I frown, but I quickly look away from Jackson so he couldn't see my face. But I quickly smile again when I see our apartment.

Tomorrow is going to be great I think. Then Jackson and I head into our new bedroom.

I am in the room getting ready for the wedding. Looking at my reflection in the mirror, thinking what he has ever seen in me.

I turn away from the mirror and look at my dress. I sigh never thinking that this day would come.

I start to strip the clothes that I currently have on, and start to put the dress on.

It's time. I think once I have the dress on, and walk out of the room I am in. I see my mom. She smiles widely at me and it looks like she was tearing up. Oh mom..

She is always so emotional about everything. This is only the biggest day of her life. She is getting married to Evan's dad, Chris. I was so happy for her, she found love after my dad and I was happy that she was happy.

It was about to start the wedding, so all of the groomsmen and bridesmaid started to get in line when I noticed that I couldn't find Jackson.

Great I think, he probably forgot today was my mom's wedding, god I hated when he forgot the most important dates.

I quickly shuffled over to my mom and told her that Jackson wasn't here. She started to get worried because I was the maid of honor, and I had no groomsmen.

After she called out to somebody that was willing to walk me down, I heard the voice. His voice. I haven't heard that voice in two years.

I shiver went down my from the thrill of hearing it. Then I saw him. Ashton.

"I'll walk her down, if you want me to." He was looking at my mom, but I knew he was directing the question towards me. I didn't say anything, I was too caught up in my shock.

My mom was frozen for a few seconds before she snapped out of it. "uh- yes, yes, thank you Ashton." He nodded at her, when she turned around she gave me a questionable look, I just shrug not looking at her.

Ashton walks up to me, but doesn't say anything at first. Finally he says: "I hope you don't mind that I am walking you down."

He seemed so sincere, but I also sounded slightly worried. I look at the corner of my eye quickly.

"No, I don't mind. I just want this day be perfect for my mom."

The music started playing, and Ashton and I started walking down the lane. When we got to the end we parted, and the rest of the bridesmaid went down the aisle.

At last my mom started to walk down with my grandpa. She had this brightest smile on her face, and it immediately put a smile on my face.

Once she saw Chris her smile got bigger, and right then and there I knew that Chris would make my mother's life a little easier, and I was grateful for that.

I involuntary moved my head to look at Ashton, when I did I saw that he was looking at me already.

I stared at him for a few seconds before I turned my attention to the wedding.

_________________________

After the ceremony we all went to the reception. I was sitting next to my mom at the table we were sitting at. Everybody was chatting and eating for a while before I stood up from my seat and started to tap by glass cup to say a toast.

I cleared my throat before I began.

"Before I begin I just wanted to say thanks to everybody that came tonight. Well, I just wanted to say to my mom and Chris that I am very happy for you two, you both deserve to be happy. And Chris, I hope you take care of my mom because I will hunt you down if you do anything to hurt her in any shape or form." I say jokingly and half seriously. "So, that's all I kinda wanted to say, and I hope you guys have a good time for the rest of the night."

I sat down a little embarrassed by my little speech, but nonetheless my mom and Chris both came over to me and both gave me a hug.

After I finished eating and just talking to some family and family friends, I decided to go down to the dance floor. I feel someone tap my shoulder, I turn my head to see who it was. Evan. I half smile.

"Hey, stepbrother." I chuckle slightly. He half smiles.

"Will you dance with me?" He asks. "Of course." I smile, grabbing his hand. He wraps his arms around my waist.

"So how are you and Ashton?" He asked. I tense up slightly.

"uhm, I am not with him." I say, looking around the room. He looks at me curiously, "Why not?"

I shrug at him and ask myself the same question. I look at Evan, "I guess we just didn't work out." He doesn't seem satisfied with the answer, but he lets it go anyway.

After Evan and I are done dancing, I decided to just go to the bathroom because I guess I just needed some time by myself.

I get to the bathroom, and I walk over to the mirror. I look at myself, I always wondered what Ashton always saw in me.

I hear the door open and close. I keep looking at myself, until I felt someone looking at me.

I look over, and to my surprise, it's Calum.
