College Years (Sequel to Theres Always A Catch Austin Mahone FanFic)

Chapter 13

*** Elis POV***

On my way to go dress shopping and I cant wait. I am kind of sad because I fell like the label is making Austin marry me. And I cant force him into something he doesnt want. And he didnt even ask in a cute way!! He just said "WIll you marry me?" and blabbered on about how the label came up with the idea and blah blah blah. He was laughing at me the whole time I had a spider on my head and was freaking out. ANd I fell as if, maybe he didnt choose me. Maybe the label made him. Maybe he doesnt love me as much as I love him. And maybe he doesnt want this wedding as much as me. Maybe I fell to hard. Maybe I fell too fast. Mayeb I love him too much. Maybe I care too much..

We just picked up Teal and I couldnt think anymore because Michelle cut it off. Thankfully.

"Hey hun, here we are."

We all had to put on our hoods and sunglasses and take our bags with extra clothes so no one recognized us. A disguise, I guess. I feel weird. Ive been in here for bridesmaids dresses and flower girls but never for a bridal dress. My wedding dress. The dress Ill wear on the day me and Austin commit to forever. And that just brings me back to the maybes. I just want to know how much he feels this way but not by him telling ME. He will just tell me what I want to hear and I dont want to hear that. I want the truth and if the truth isnt what I want to hear then Ill have to understand. But for him to just say what I want ot hear, then were going no where in the relationship. But all I want is to go forward.

"Michelle! I havent seen you in ages, it seems like. When I got your call, I couldnt have been any more excited. You have always been one of my favorite customers!! Thats mainly why I said you didnt even need to explain why you were coming in. I closed up shop today. I had no customers anyway so Im yours for the rest of the day and I wanna know why youre here in person. OH!!!!! Hows my little Austin-cake!?" Everyone except Michelle was looking at her weird. "Oh Im sorry. Im Tiana Kartwright. I help Michelle with her wedding dress when she got married the first time. Im guessing theres another guy? Your getting married again?!?"

Michelle hesitated before speaking. Smiling while she hesitated though. "Well, no. Actually, I still have not moved on. I never will actually. FUnny you ask about Asutin though, we are actually here for HIS fiancee. Not me."

"Oh," Her dreams seemed crushed. It was like the sky got a little greyer too. "Well, who is she? I bet she is beautiful!" Teal and Lucy let go of my hands and let me step forward from behind Mom 1 and Mom 2. I smiled at her. "Oh hunny, you are a doll. I have a few perfect selections for you just by looking at you. Come come." She motioned us to follow her and I did just that. " Now you are curvy. No too thin but just right. Thatt means ALOT of my dress types will work on you. So, what do you have in mind when you picture the perfect wedding dress?"

"I..uh...I dont know. I never really thought about it.." I felt al eyes on me as I stared at the ground, emberassed. "I obviously see myself in white. But , for the first time in my life, I wanna feel like a princess. I never really got to through out high school and I want to. Its a day every girl dreams about and I want it to be special. The right guy, the perfect dress, not a hair out of place. Because for once in this crazy life, Id like one thing to be perfect." I finally looked up to see tears in my moms eyes for no reason.

"Whatever she wants. Whatever shes comfortable in. The label is paying for everything EXCEPT the dress. So no budget." She said to Tiana.

Tiana walked to the backw ith a simple head nod and a sniffle. She was a tiny girl. She had lonk dip dyed hair and looked like she was around 45. She was a ball of sunshine. Like Michelle. She made me feel happy for the seconds she would talk. SHe never stopped smiling with her pearly white teeth and it didnt look forced. It actually looked genuine and real. It was really heart warming. I stopped admiring her as she brought in a pile of white fluff that looked like it could fill a huge swimming pool. It covered her face and she almost ran in to the stool next to her if Teal and Lucy hadnt said anything.

"Oh. Thank you dears." She hung the dress on the rack that just happened to be there. It had lace all the way down with a bunch of white underneath. I felt like a pillow as I put it on. I felt like it wouldnt be long until teal picked me up and hit Lucy with me and no one would even get hurt there was so much padding on this dress. It had lace without padding underneath from the top of my chest up to my neck. It really was beautiful but it didnt look right on me. I didnt feel beautifull..

"Well, it is a beautiful dress. Really beautiful. But I dont know.. Its just not.. the one." I looked in the mirror and saw it hugged every important torso feature. I loved it but it didnt feel right to me.

They all agreed and after 20 other dresses Michelle and mom were getting tired.

"Eli, may we have a word?" My mom called me over to sit next to her and Michelle.

"Uhh, yeah." I sat down next to them. "Whats up mommas?"

"Well, when I was getting my dress, grandma was on her way to dying. I had the same problem your having and she told me this. 'close your eyes.'" I did so. "Now picture what you want your wedding to look like." I did. "What do you see?"

"I see an outdoor wedding. The flowers ebgining to grow on the trees. Pink, yellow, and white cherry blossoms blowing in the wind and getting caught in my hair. Everyone I love surrounding me. Standing and smiling as I walk down the aisle. I held a bouquet of pink tulips. Red roses. Orange roses.  Dragon breath. A cool breezy day. Austin straight ahead with his winning smile."

"Good. Now rewind a little. When you look in the mirror on this day, what do you want to see?"

"A princess bridal dress. TIght at the torso but flows down to a poofy flowy gown at the bottom. There are slight designs here and there but not too much. Its white and beautiful. It has a silver band across the waist and a little corsette in the front.. and a lace veil that flows down. To cover the tears."

"OKay honey. keep your eyes closed for a little bit longer...........OPEN!!!" 

I opened my eyes and saw Tiana standing there with the dress I had pictured. It was beautiful and came with a beautiful lace veil. All i could say was..

"This is it. This is the dress."
