The Road (Sequel to 'The Way We Were') [Denis Stoff, Denis Shaforostov, Asking Alexandria]

24

A/N: Hello my lovelies. This is the last chapter before the epilogue and honestly, I am feeling so emotional about ending this. This book and your support for it has changed my life. I never imagined it passing ten thousand reads and I'm honestly in awe. I want to dedicate this final chapter to everybody who voted, read, or commented on this book, because seeing all of those numbers rise made my heart full with happiness. I have made so many new friends and I am so thankful for you all letting me write this book for you. I hope that you will all read my other work, and don't worry, there will be a new Denis one soon. I hope you enjoyed this whirlwind of a journey with Denis and Vivian. So without further ado, here is the final chapter of The Road.

-----
Vivian-

My stomach had been twisting in knots all day.

Could it just be four already? I wanted to see Denis.

I had already tried to escape from the room Maddie had kept me locked in with the bridal party because I wasn't allowed to see Denis before the wedding, but Maddie caught me and gave me a lecture.

Something about it being bad luck to see him before the wedding.

A makeup artist speaks hours poking at my face this afternoon, and I was finally allowed to have a bit of a snack as he began to do my hair.

"How are you feeling Viv?" Maddie asked as she got her hair done, also eating.

"Nervous. I just want to see Denis." I bit my lip.

"I wish I had a big day like this. Eloping wasn't nearly as fun." She laughed.

"Well having a big day is stressful for me." I laughed.

"Maybe that's why I'm enjoying it so much." She smirked.

"Hush." I rolled my eyes at her.

"Okay, it's three now, you should get into your dress." She suggested as the man finished my up do.

"Should I cover this?" The makeup artist asked, pointing at my tiny visible tattoo.

"Absolutely not!" I gasped, slapping a hand over it.

"Okay!" She held her hands up defensively.

"Sorry. I'm just stressed." I apologized to her.

"Honey you are the calmest bride I have seen." She laughed.

I nodded as there was a knock on the door and James walked in.

"Hello ladies."

Maddie got up with a smile on her face and kissed him quickly, careful not to mess up her makeup.

James was in his suit already and he looked very well put together.

"So you can see him but I can't see Denis?" I pouted, causing him to chuckle.

"I'm already married. Suck it up you will see him in an hour." She rolled her eyes.

"But Maddie!"

"Shut up and get dressed." She laughed.

"I was actually sent here by Denis." He said, causing me to perk up. "Here." He handed me a tiny box.

I eagerly opened it and pulled out a tiny bracelet. It was made of a blue string with a tiny owl charm on it.

"Something blue, and something new. I'll see you soon love." I smiled as I read it silently.

"I don't deserve him." I smiled as I picked up an envelope and handed it to James. "Give him this."
