Drowning

Chapter seventy five

"Your boobs look great." Jimmy grinned as he and Tina walked hand in hand over to the reception area.
"They're temporary." She rolled her eyes, doing her best impersonation of Maya. He laughed. Tina's eyes wandered over to Seth and she remembered she had to talk to him.
"I'll be right back babe, I've gotta go talk to Seth." She kissed him and ran off. "Amy, can I have a moment with your man?"
"Oh I guess I'll share." She grinned, squeezing Tina. "I love you."
"I love you too." Then she was off. "Seth."
"Tina." He giggled.
"Don't fuck this up, okay?"
"I would never." His face turned serious.
"I suppose you know how she is...just don't ever think she'll ever leave..." She took a deep breath and looked up at her best friends husband. "You're her entire world, kid."
Seth just smiled and pulled Tina into a hug.
"Thank you for everything, you've really helped us through a lot."
"Yeah Seth, you're welcome. I'm really happy she found you."
they smiled at each other. "But really, you or nobody...really has any idea how much she means to me. I dont know if anyone ever really will." a tear fell down her face.
"Aw I heard that." Amy came over and wrapped her arms around her neck.
"Well its true." she sniffed and wiped away her tear. "You're the best friend I've ever had."
"Likewise." they hugged tightly, for what seemed like ever. Then they broke apart and Amy noticed a very important thing.
"Seth cmon, it's time for our first dance." Amy pulled him out onto the dance floor where they danced to Shelter by Ray Lamontagne. "I love you."
"I love you." He kissed her head and they faded into each other.
After they finished their dance, the daddy daughter dance came, then the mother son, then a dance Amy and Tina created; the wife for life dance came. Where Tina and Amy danced together. It was legitimately sweet.
"Doesn't that make you want to dance with me Sethy?" Bill said, high pitched in Seth's ear. He turned around and started laughing, hugging him.
"Oh it does." Then he looked around for Kristen, who was in the bathroom."You ready?"
He took a deep,shaky breath.
"Do a have a choice?"
"NOPE!" Seth yelled, laughing. Bill grunted. "It's going to be fine buddy, I'm excited for you."
"Thanks."
"Now." he held out his hand with a wild grin on his face. "May I have this dance?"
Bill looked down and at first just laughed. Then he looked back up and took his hand. The two began dancing near, not on, the dance floor, laughing wildly.
"Why are you guys dancing together?" Kristen laughed, walking over.
"Well lemme see," Bill looked up. "He's so funny and nice, charming and beautiful." his head snapped back down to look at him. "You know what Seth? I think I love you."
The three of them all started laughing.
"Shit this sucks, cause I just married Amy." he cried.
"Why the fuck would you do that??" Kristen exclaimed.
"You blew it!"
"ALRIGHT, EVERYBODY!" Amy hollered, waving her hands. An upbeat song started playing and everyone ran onto the dance floor. They were all dancing like the world was going to end, it was so much fun. Almost two hours later, the DJ announced it was time to throw the bouquet.
Bill felt like he was going to pass out. Amy gave him a look as she made her way to the front of the dance floor. All the unmarried ladies trampled over each other, laughing.
"Alright buddy, you ready?" Jimmy clamped his hand on Bill's shoulder. Suddenly, all the SNL boys were behind him.
"I feel like I'm going to puke." he said honestly.
"You can do it."
Amy turned around and started walking towards Kristen, Bill walked in her direction as well, trying not to fall over. She handed her the flowers and Bill got down on one knee. All the girls started screaming their heads off and cheering. At first Kristen was confused, but then she turned around and saw Bill on one knee.
"Holyshit." she gasped. Their song (which happened to be a beautiful tune titled 'Baby I need you' by Kim Taylor) started playing softly, but other than that and some cheering it was quiet.
"Kristen...I love you. I love you more than anyone. I want-I need to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you marry me?" his voice shook.
She looked at him and could barely breathe. Her eyes flashed back to when Hayes proposed and she never thought he would hurt her. She didnt think Bill could ever hurt her then. She could be as wrong about him as she was about Hayes.
But then she started crying, this was Bill. The one who raced her to the hospital and stayed their with her all night. The one who never ever gave up on her and never in his life stopped loving her. The one who didnt let her go when she wanted to kill herself. The one who got sent to jail for practically killing the man who abused her. The one who brought all the light in the world to what she thought was eternal darkness. The one she loved the most.
This man would never hurt her.
"Yes!" she was sobbing, but she threw herself at him. "Yes!"
Everybody cheered and people cried. Lord knows they had seem the two of them go through hell.
"Oh my god I love you." he whispered.
"IloveyouIloveyouIloveyou."  she kissed him. It was that moment she gave Bill the last of what she had in her. She had officially trusted him with everything she ever had. No man had ever gotten that before.
The rest of the wedding was a dream. Like a scene from a movie, it was a beautiful time for everyone. Celebrating their loved ones extraordinary love. When Seth and Amy were leaving, everyone cried. Especially Tina, she cried the hardest out of everyone, it hurt so much when she had to give Amy her last hug. And of course Amy cried, so did Seth. They must've said goodbye to everyone 20 times before they actually left. But everything was good in the most simple sense, it had been a long year but everything happened for a reason.
"Farewell everyone." Amy yelled out the window, casting one final look at Tina. Tears rolled down her cheeks. "Farewell..."
