I wake up with Liam cooing in my ear, so I turn around and slap him.
"Ow!" He said whining.
"Ha! Now you need to learn not to wake me up." I said.
I got up, grabbed clothes and went to take a shower. I got out and dried off and got dressed. I walked downstairs and saw Liam making a breakfast of bacon, eggs, fruit, and pancakes. I grab a plate and start taking bacon but he stopped me.
"No, not yet" he said sternly.
I pouted and put my plate down. I walked over and sat down at the island waiting for him to finish cooking. I decided to aware him on my decisions not telling him about the bouquet and dress. He huffs at me telling him he has to get his own suit.
"When should it be?" I ask
"I don't know next week?" He replies placing food on a plate for me.
"Ok we could do it on Sunday." I offer taking my plate from his hands.
"Sure, do you have the invites because I'll pass them out?" He asks.
"Ok all of them are dead except Alexis so you can handle those." I reply.
"Fine." he says but turns around quickly to surprise me in a kiss. I'm shocked forgetting what his kisses felt like. He backed away and smiled then left grabbing all but one of the invitations.
________________
Liam POV
As I grab the invites I think why she didn't mention the bouquet. I know she wouldn't say the dress, but the flowers? Something is definitely up. I hand out the invitations and head to my place in the Town. I look in my lovely book of spells for anything suspicious, but before I get a chance I'm interrupted by my little sister visiting my father and I's graves. She places only two flowers on mine, a red rose and a white lily. On fathers she places a memorial bouquet with red, white and blue knowing he was in the army when younger. she whispered something but I couldn't hear it. My now 18 year old sister still tends to mumble. My eyes water but I don't cry. Dad was with me but left after my flowers were laid down. the thing that puzzles me is he always stays for the whole time. No matter if it was just for me or she's having a really bad day and stays the night. When she leaves I go back to my 6' house ( yea we have our houses below our graves) and try to go back to reading the book only it's gone. I search frantically but don't find it after 5 hours. I sigh. I decide to go back up to Lily and spend some time with her. As I reach her house I get screaming only dream screaming as the ghosts call it. Meaning it only happens when dreaming and their close friends and family can hear it if we're dead. I run over to her room and see her. There's a knife on her nightstand and blood everywhere. I start trying to wake her over and over again calling out her name. But she never wakes up. Then I jolt awake next to her.

Lily POV
I'm having this dream where I'm being cornered by Liam's family each taking turns insulting me. Each saying I grounding Liam, not letting him move on, then his father, the original librarian takes out a knife and cuts me over and over until I'm dead. I hear Liam enter the room trying to wake me up. I can't give in though I'm not good enough. Suddenly I jolt awake with Liam doing the exact same thing I look around only to find a knife on my nightstand with only a drip of blood to warn me. I run, grabbing the knife with me I run until I can't run any longer reaching the graveyard 5 miles away. I gently take the knife and bury it between Liam and his father's graves. I cry for 2 hours knowing what the knife represented. I go back and take the rose and lily for my wedding in my hands and try to find Liam. I eventually find him and he comes up and hugs me, then pulling way and kissing me while I hold the flowers in my hand, he barely notices them. I look at him wide eyed and go to my wardrobe grabbing my suitcase and the dress and run back to Liam dropping them off and quickly running to go get a picture I forgot one of me, my sisters, my parents, Aunt Rida, Sugar and Spice, and Liam. I run back just in time to be whisked away with Liam forever. he is quite shocked but I look quite normal. we are dropped down somewhere and Liam grabs my stuff and my arm and pulls me somewhere clearly mad. I gulp. Suddenly we get to a door and he knocks. the door opens only to reveal Mr. Linden smiling. Liam turns away and goes next to door apparently to his "house". he drops everything and then shouts "What were you thinking Lily?"
I drop my head in shame and reply "I wanted to be the same as you." he sighed and pushed me next door which supposed was my "house" now. I looked around and it looked like home. I set everything up and made tea. I sat down with one of my books and started reading.

18 year old girl POV
I decide to visit daddy and Liam's graves today. I decide to try to give them a sign so I grab a duplicate of Lily's wedding bouquet and daddy's usual army memorial. I walk to the graveyard giving them enough time to get up to their positions. when I reach there I can sense them in there spots. I guess that's what happens when your old boyfriend was a scientist and I got stuck with one of his experiments. I look around and place the flowers down and whisper "Liam I left these for you to warn you Lily's changing and I want you to be careful around her. Love always, Alexis." I got up and walked away knowing it would happen tomorrow.
