Grotesque Trilogy (Book 1)

Chapter 23

Of course I wanted to marry him. A huge smile overspread my face, all I could do was nod. Leo let out a sigh of relief, before putting the ring on my finger. Putting my hand up in front of me I noticed the ring was stainless steel and almost resembled a flower. It was perfect. The rest of the date was filled with smiles and me blushing, near enough all the time.

Once we got home Olivia ran towards me. "Peace just proposed to me" she said not even trying to hide the fact she was so happy. I smiled at her, she was jumping up and down full of felicity. I hugged her tightly, swaying a bit before showing her my hand. Olivia stared at me clearly shocked, before looking behind me and seeing Leo's complacent look. To this she just smirked and shook her head before congratulating me.

The week seem to go so fast and before I could think straight it was the day of our revolutionary. It was warm outside so Olivia was wearing her white star wars tank tee, with her denim shorts and white converse. She also middle parted her hair and it was naturally straight so she didn't need to worry about that. I decided to wear my black crop top which ties at the top, with my black and white grid style skater skirt. With my light blue denim jacket and black heeled boots, which tied at the front. We were supposed to be wearing our gym clothes for the revolutionary but Me and Olivia got sick of wearing gym clothes all the time.

As me and Olivia made our way to the gym, we noticed Leo and Peace must of gotten sick of their gym clothes as well. Leo was wearing a white over sized jumper with his black jeans and black all star converse. Whereas Peace was wearing his all black tee shirt with his black knee ripped jeans and black doc martens. They both grinned at us before we went and stood next to them. Olivia interlocked her fingers with Peace's, whilst Leo put his arm around my shoulder before I rested my head on his shoulder. Ofelia came in wearing her white long sleeve top with her grey jogger pants and her black nike air max. She stood in front of everyone looking at us with a weak smile before speaking.

"Today is a big day for us, I want you to walk out today with pride in yourself. Don't let anyone call you a grotesque anymore, we fight back now" she shouted to everyone. "We leave today in hopes we can be seen as normal from now on. After today I want you all to go off and live your lives, cherish every moment together you won't know if its your last or not" she said one last time before walking towards the gym door behind me and Leo. She stopped at the door and turned around looking at all of us then stopping at Olivia.

"Make him happy, he's still my baby" she said before leaving. Olivia just smiled at Peace before we all made our way to the vans.

Around 30 golden ford 350 vans waited all lined up, ready to take us to Providence, Rhode Island.

Me, Olivia, Leo and Peace were all in a van with Keane, Liam, Lily, Mia, Noah and Ethan. The drive was silent. It was around an hours drive to get there aswell. Peace and Olivia were busy speaking about where they wanted the wedding to be held; this was a good time to ask Leo.

"So where shall we get married?" I asked him raising an eyebrow. "Honestly" he said looking at me, "I think we should get married in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Then we should move to Asheville in North Carolina" he said. I smiled at him and nodded. We all made small talk on the way there to help with the nerves before the car came to a holt.

The door opened and Jed was stood there. One by one he helped us out. "Meg, promise me you'll stay safe" he said, the upset in his voice obvious. "I will and thank you for everything Jed, I won't forget you" I said embracing him in a brief hug.

As we approached the top of the hill me, Olivia, Peace and Leo stopped for a minute. "Promise me one thing" Olivia said rather sudden. "Promise me you'll be okay and that nothing will hurt you. We all deserve to walk away from this happy and Meg please be my maid of honor" she said more scared if anything. I nodded my head and hugged her tightly, before we made our way over to the top of the hill.

As we peered over the hearty's stood on the other side of the field, leaving a good distance between us. We stood almost on our side, Peace handed Olivia her throwing axe's, she held this down her side. Leo pasted me my pistol crossbow, I held it downwards so it was pointing at the ground while I stood on my side.

Peace held his meteor hammer ready as did Leo with his crossbow. We all stood piercing our eyes at them as they did to us. Ofelia went to the middle to meet Ashleigh, taking her Zanbato sword. We waited for her to give us the signal.

After around 10 minutes Ashleigh and Ofelia began a sword fight, this was our signal. I locked eyes with Aiden, he was my target and this revolution will stop everyone's thoughts of us.

I looked at Leo, Peace and Olivia one last time before running forward and fighting the enemy.
