Would You Still Be There?

Chapter 23

Violet's pov
-
My phone goes off pretty early as today is the last full day of me being Violet Smith. I honestly have waited my whole life for someone to sweep me off of my feet like the princes in the fairy tales, and tomorrow, my dreams would come true. My last name would match that of the guy who saved my life.

There was a knock at the door of mine and Jai's apartment, and being that Jai had left the day before to spend the last two nights in Vegas with the boys, I had the house to myself.

I slipped on some clothes and walked down to the door, opening it.

"Violet!" Lily and Daisy yelled together when I opened the door.

"I have missed you guys so much! Come in!" I step aside allowing them to walk in the apartment. "So, how were your flights? How are things back in Georgia?"

"Our flight was fine. Georgia is about like normal, I guess. It's hot and humid year round still," Daisy said, laughing.

"So what are our plans for today since it is your last day of freedom?" Lily asked.

"I was thinking we could go shopping and then just wing it from there," I replied, laughing. "I have never really been one to plan stuff like this."

"Alright then! Let's do that, but first, you need to get dressed because we are not going out in public with you dressed like that. Violet, I love you, but you look horrible." Daisy was always one to speak her mind. Sometimes I wish she wouldn't, but nevertheless, I still loved her.

"Thanks for your uplifting words, Daisy. I'll be right back." I run back into the bedroom and look through my closet pulling out a floral top and a pair of black high waisted shorts. I slip on my black converse and apply a thin layer of make up. I run the brush through my hair before brushing my teeth and walking back downstairs. "Better?" I ask.

"Much," Daisy and Lily reply.

"Alright! Let's go!"

Today is the big day! I feel as though all of my insides were replaced with a zoo because saying I have butterflies is an understatement.

The girls and I went shopping yesterday and then decided upon watching movies and walking on the beach just catching up. It was honestly so peaceful and I loved every minute of it. Jai text me when they got home last night and that he would see me at the ceremony.

I was currently standing in the wedding hall in one of the several rooms as Daisy and Lily worked on helping me get dressed. I was wearing a beautiful strapless white dress that was both elegant but casual. It was right around my upper body and flowed out at the bottom. My make up was done with a silver eyeshadow, black winged eyeliner, and mascara. The rest of my make up appearing almost natural. My hair was curled with small flowers protruding here and there to adorn it.

I felt a tear slip down my face as I looked in the mirror after everything was ready.

"I cannot believe that in about an hour my last name will be Brooks," I say smiling.

There was a knock on the door before Luke and Beau stepped in. They gasped and quickly came over to hug me. They were both wearing black tuxedos.

"Violet, you look amazing," Luke said, smiling.

"I cannot believe Jai did so good! I'm so happy you're going to be our sister-in-law!" Beau replied, laughing. I hugged them both once more before they led me out to the chapel where the ceremony was taking place. All of the bridesmaids and groomsmen took their assigned places and began to walk down the isle. Luke and Daisy were last as they were the best man and maid of honor. Beau extended his arm, looping it with mine and smiled as the music changed. Being that my father was unable to see his little girl be married, Beau offered to walk me down to my future.

I took a deep breath as the doors opened upon the chapel. The crowd stood, and I looked down the isle to see Jai with a proud smile upon his face. I couldn't help but smile as Beau and I walked down the isle towards the alter. When we reached the alter, Beau kissed my cheek before going to his assigned place, and the ceremony began.

"We are gathered here today to join Violet Smith and Jai Brooks in holy matrimony."

The wedding continued and then it was time for the vows.

"Violet, about a year ago, when we stumbled upon the Varsity in Atlanta before heading to the hotel, I knew that my life was going to change. I saw this beautiful girl who seemed so broken, and I wanted to do everything in my power to fix her and mend all of her broken pieces. We went through so many battles all the time we have been together, but each and every one has made our bond stronger. I am so glad that I am able to call you mine forever more. I love you, Violet." Jai slipped the ring on my finger and smiled.

"Jai, today is a day that I have dreamed of for a very long time. When I stumbled upon the Janoskians videos many years ago, I never thought that I would meet you. When I met you in the Varsity, I was completely in shock. Our first date, oh how I remember the butterflies. You always make me feel as though I'm the only person in the world. You have saved me in so many ways, and I am so glad to be standing here with you, my best friend, my savior, and the love of my life. Jai, you truly mean everything to me, and I will love you until the end of time." I slipped the ring on his finger before wiping away a tear.

"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride." Jai and I kissed as though our lives depended upon this moment, and I couldn't help but smile at the thought of my name now being Violet Brooks.

Who would have thought that a broken girl who never imagined a future for herself would now be married? Life truly is unpredictable, but I think that's what I enjoy the most about it. The constant thought of not knowing excites me, but now I know that I will never have to face the world alone, and I love Jai for that.

Thank you Jai.

That was it! The end of this book!! I truly enjoyed writing this story. There were points where I was completely at a loss with writer's block, but I feel as though I ended this on a good note. I decided not to write a sequel as I feel that the rest of the story is for the reader to imagine, so run wild with your imagination! I hope you all have enjoyed reading this story, and please leave feedback.

Thank you all so much!
