Saving Aliyah

38

-Aliyah Cameron-
*6 months later*

Alastair and I were getting married today, Chloe walks towards me, sitting next to me "How are you feeling?" She asked me as I shrugged "I'm sorry I didn't pick you to be my maid of honor.." I tell her, she shrugged "It's your wedding, and you and I aren't as close as we used to be, I understand." She tells me and I smiled at her.

I get up to go get my hair down, Selena, Claire and Chloe were already done with hair and makeup, I was the last one to be done.

Now that we were all done we had to leave to go to the venue and get into our dresses.

"Alastair won't stop asking me if you're okay." Claire says, I smiled softly "I'll tell him you are, but he's getting annoying." Claire tells me "He's turning soft." Selena says, I stare at her "It's true." She tells me and I swallow the lump in my throat, Claire rolls her eyes before typing on her phone

"Carter will be there to walk you down the aisle." Chloe told me and I smiled, Carter and I are in a weird place right now, I'm hoping it'll get better, but there was something I had to ask him.

I play with my necklace while Claire and Chloe help me with the dress, Selena was outside smoking.

When I was finally in the dress, there was a knock on the door, Claire goes to open it and sees Leo "Okay, why am I wearing a pink sparkly hat." He glared at me "Hey, you said I could choose what you wear." I say and he sighed "I take it back" He defends, I shake my head "Too late, you have to wear the hat now, Leo." I say

"You might not be my favorite Diaz anymore." He says, I frown, Leo sighs "Fine, I'll wear it, just don't look sad, Alastair might hurt me." He tells me and I smile "Thank you, Leo." I said and he smiles, Selena walks back in and stares at Leo "Why are you here?"

"Why weren't you here?" He asked her "I was smoking." She tells him and he nods his head "Well, I'll go back before Alastair tries to come looking for me." He said and I nod "Bye, Leo." I say "Bye, favorite Diaz." He tells me.

I sighed and stared at myself in the mirror, I loved the dress, and I loved everything about today.

The one thing in the back of my mind is whether Eric and dad will show or not, and how would I react if they did?

I still sent them an invitation, even though Alastair disagreed, it felt wrong to not invite them.

Carter walks in and I stare at him, he walks over to me "How are you?" He asked and I shrugged "Are dad and Eric here?" I asked, he shook his head. I frowned. I should've expected that rather than getting my hopes up.

"Well, I'm still here." He tells me and I smiled, I nod my head "Yeah, you are." I say "I'll do the dance with you, Ali." Carter tells me and my eyes widened "You will?" I asked, he nods his head, I smiled at him.

Carter tells me he has to go back and I nod.

Claire was glaring at Cesare when he tried to compliment her, and all he does is smile at her.

She turns her head forward and walks down the aisle while Carter walks towards me giving me a smile, I return the smile back.

"You may now kiss your wife."

Alastair kisses me as I smile against his lips, his arms were around my waist, and mine was around his neck.
