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

Chapter 15

***Eli's POV***  

I opened my eyes to reveal the only dress I ever loved. The only dress I could see myself wearingn The only dress I could ever feel beautiful in. The dress I'd love to pass on for years. And years.  

It was like a Cinderella gown. So elegant and flowing. It was beautiful. It was exactly what I had.imagined.  

It had strapless white torso that was tight. It had a slight bodice in the back but it had gold lace. In the front it had gold rhinestones in a beautiful pattern just above the chest. On the stomach, it had a gold stitching patter that had to he done so delicately. It was sown by hands and that was a fact. It went from tight to a hoop skirt shape. Flowing like the top of a cupcake. Tight and small to Loose and poofy. It had a lace veil with a tiny crown on the top. The crown had white cherry blossoms in the holes. They were fake but looked as real as possible. As if they had just been picked off a tree. The veil was like a.very light waterfall. Smooth and fell perfectly. I loves it. And I knew Austin would too.  

"This is it. This is the dress" I didn't hear what anyone was saying. My eyes and thoughts weren't on Austin anymore. They were on this dress. How beautiful. How elegant. How amazing. How PERFECT this dress was. I couldn't wait to put it on.  

"Eli? ELI! !!"  

"huh?!" I looked at everyone who was staring at me weirdly. "oh sorry. what's you say?"  

"Wow you must really love this dress."  

"I do."  

"Well save your I do's for Austin. We said to go try it on!!" My mom said excitedly. She knew this was the dress too.  

I grabbed Teals hand and yelled at Lucy to grab the dress. We ran to the fitting rooms and once we got there I told them to leave.  

"Why! you let us stay the other tines!!!" Teal cried.  

"But those dresses weren't as important. I want to reveal in front of all of you. Not just my moms. So please go?" They took a deep breath and sighed but they grabbed each others hands Ans walked out with slumped shoulders. Once I was done rolling my eyes I got out of the dress from before and practically fell out from going to fast.  

I slipped on my dream dress as if it were made just for me. The perfect size. I tightened the back and put on my veil. I had taken my bun down the mintue we got inside and my curls were working perfectly to top off the dress. I had done my makeuo in the car so I didnt look like a bum but instead, I felt, beautiful. Like the girl in Gypsy. (Of youve ever seen it) WHen sh eifnally gets out of her ugly clothes. She looks at herself in a dress and realizes she really is beautiful.

"Momma.." I whispered. "Im pretty momma.." I felt a tear slip out of my eyes and I whiped it away quickly. I glanced at my engagement ring in the mirror as I did so. I couldnt help but think of all the possible gasps that wont mean a thing to me when I see Austin no less than 15 feet from me. The only opinion that matters is his. And that is really all I would ever ask for.

I grabbed the fake bouqet to my right that they use for moments like these. I took one last glance in the mirror and started for the door. I felt the dress trail  behind me. I slid my veil down in front of my face and put my hair in front of my ears and shoulders. I stood up straight and walked down the long corridor where I heard everyone laughing and talking. I braced myself for the compliments I knew I didnt deserve but would finally understand in this dress. I walked out from behind the wall and didnt care to see what everyone was doing because the shuffling and talking ended. I didnt look up from my gaze on the ground. I knew eyes were on me.

I walked up the steps to the tiny round platform used to show off dresses. I looked up and saw tears form in my mothers eyes. I saw Lucy tear up as well. Michelle was balling. Teal was jumping up and down and tears were in her eyes. Tiana was sniffing as she was holding back tears.
