Safe Place // Jake Kiszka x Calum Hood

Chapter Eighteen.

So there's a music video that's supposed to be with this but for some reason it won't attach to the chapter...it may end up showing up later but if for whatever reason it doesn't, when you get to that part (you'll know when 😉) look up;
"Love Like This" by Ben Rector and play it!
I hope you guys enjoy this chapter🤍

As soon as Ivy had finished touching up your makeup it was already time to go line up for the ceremony.
You made your way down the hallway with the rest of the girls until you had reached the double doors to lead you down the aisle.

Jake was standing in his spot at the back, facing forward so he couldn't see you.

You slowly walked up beside of him as he glanced over at you.
"Hey" you said nonchalantly, keeping your eyes straight ahead.

Even out of the corner of your eye you could see he did a double take, his eyes wide as he slowly looked you up and down, "Oh h-hey".

You turned your head to look at him, now fully taking in his appearance. The dark blue suit complementing his brown hair and brown eyes beautifully.

"You look ni-"

"I'm sorry for this morning."

You were silent for a moment before answering him, "It's fine."

He sighed and looked down to the floor shaking his head, "No. It's not. I had no right to act that way so I apologize."

You stared at him for a moment unsure of what to say.
"I said it's fine Jake."

He looked like he was about to protest further but thankfully as soon as he opened his mouth to speak the music started playing, the doors in front of you opening, Danny first to head out.

Your heart was already beating at a rapid rate just from being this close to Jake period, but it had started to beat even faster as one by one everyone slowly started making their way down the aisle.

"Ready?" Jake asked you with a tight lipped smile, holding his arm out for you to grab on to.

Except you didn't say anything.
You stared straight ahead frozen in place.

Jake immediately furrowed his brows, "Farren?"

You opened your mouth to speak but nothing would come out.

"Hey it's okay. Don't worry, I've got you. Just grab onto me." Jake said, his arm still out for you as he moved closer.

Your heart momentarily fluttered at his comment but you chose to ignore it so you could grab his arm, squeezing it tight, and making your way up to the front of the doors.

Right on cue the music slowed, Jake almost having to pull you so you would make your first step.

You began to walk, flowers in one hand, the other tightly gripping Jakes bicep for support as you made your way down the aisle.

It didn't help that your dress was just flowy enough to be a bother making you constantly worried of tripping on it as you walked.

When you finally looked up from the ground and locked eyes with your brother the tears immediately began to fall down your face, poor Matt was already crying just by seeing you come down the aisle.

You couldn't even stand to look at your mom for more than 2 seconds either because she was already a blubbering mess also, so instead you looked directly beside of her to see Calum, a huge grin on his face as he watched you make your way down.

Once you reached the end of the aisle you went to let go of Jakes arm but squeezed your hand and held on.

You gave him a confused look, but he simply gave you the slightest of nods as he walked you over to your spot, making sure you had fixed your own dress and got situated before he made his way over to his own place next to Matt.
