Loving The Best Friend (Marcus Butler)

Chapter Nineteen

A/N - Hey guys and welcome to Chapter Nineteen. Hannah's outfit ^^^^^

----- Hannah's P.O.V -----

I am now happy to say that Marcus is completely recovered from the beating that Matt gave him and you can't even tell where he got hurt now which is great. It took a while for all of the bruising to disappear and even after they disappeared the areas where the bruises were was still tender so I had to be careful when I was hugging him or when we were sleeping because I cuddle up to him whilst we're sleeping. Plus because of his ribs I was completely cautious when hugging him and I know he hated it because he loves hugs and cuddles - as pathetic as that sounds but it makes him even more adorable.

Today is Beth and Alfie's wedding; I am maid of honour and Marcus is Alfie's best man, I cannot believe that two of my best friends since we were teenagers are getting married, they have been together for so long and I honestly admire how long they have been together because I can't even say what they have been through together and what they have supported each other through. It is crazy because I always knew they would be together for the rest of their lives and yet neither of them ever believed me so now I am just like 'told you so'

We have just had the ceremony and it was the cutest thing ever. I never thought I would see the day when Alfie cried because of Beth's looks but he did, according to him no words can describe how beautiful she looks today. As maid of honour I am wearing a dark green pleated halter neck dress that has a rope type belt, nude coloured strappy stilettos with rose gold jewels, a rose gold cuff with studs and my hair has been curled into a side style. Of course I do not compare to Beth who honestly looks amazing in her dress.

We're at the reception now and Marcus and I are sitting next to each other; Marcus is next to Alfie and then Beth is next to Alfie, there's only 4 of us on the head table because Beth and Alfie wanted just Marcus and I on the head table. Marcus is about to do his speech and I think that it will be pretty entertaining. Marcus stands up holding a microphone and everyone goes quiet "Heeeeellooo" he says doing his classic video intro and everyone laughs "Because I am best man I have been made to do a speech by the groom himself" Marcus says patting Alfie's shoulder "I remember when Alfie first said to me that he wanted to ask Beth out. Hannah was the one that made friends with Beth first and I already knew Hannah so I made Hannah find out whether or not Beth liked Alfie back" Marcus says and I smile at him "He was so nervous when he asked Beth out on that date and he was adamant that the relationship wasn't going to go far because he would mess up at some point but here we are today and they are now Mr and Mrs Deyes" he says.

Marcus raises his glass of champagne as does everyone else "I would like to make a toast. To my best friends, the newlyweds, Mr and Mrs Alfie Deyes" he says and everyone smiles "Mr and Mrs Alfie Deyes" everyone says and Marcus sits back down. He hands me the microphone and kisses my cheek quickly before I stand up "I don't have much of an intro to make really" I say into the mic "I have known Beth and Alfie for such a long time and they were both convinced that they wouldn't last past high school because something would happen to mess up the whole relationship" I say and both Beth and Alfie smile "I always knew that you two would last because I saw it in your eyes whenever you looked at each other. That look told me that you two were going to stay together. Mainly I am saying I told you so because I knew this day would come and you two would get married" I say looking at Alfie and Beth, Beth has tears in her eyes.

Beth gets up from her seat and pulls me into a hug "Beth is more of a sister to me than a friend. The amount of shit that she has been with me through is unbelievable and there is a reason why I am proud to call her my sister. She is so strong and I feel honoured to have been her maid of honour today" I say and Beth smiles at me still with tears in her eyes as she sits back down next to Alfie. I raise my glass of champagne like Marcus did and everyone follows suit "A toast; to my best friends for life, the two people who are stronger together than they are alone, Beth and Alfie" I say and everyone nods "Beth and Alfie" they say and I sit back down.

As the speeches are over everyone is now on the dance floor, Beth and Alfie decided to have live music instead of a DJ so they have some band and they are actually pretty good. Beth and Alfie are walking around and talking to their guests but Marcus and I are still sitting down because neither of us can actually be bothered to get up. Marcus places his hand on my thigh and I smile at him "You okay Honey?" he asks and I nod "I'm fine. I am just happy for Beth and Alfie" I say and he nods in agreement "And to think they never though this day would come" he says and I laugh "I know, I guess it is hard to figure out when you are going to marry the person that means so much to you" I say.

----- Marcus' P.O.V -----

Hearing Hannah talk about marrying the person that you care about and want to be with, is getting me thinking. I would love to get married at some point in the future; I have always wanted to get married especially to someone that means everything to me.
