Ezria season 6b

Chapter 29: forever and almost always

ARIAS POV:
"I-I... don't.... do you remember when we had that fight forever ago and I said I was scared to want you but their I was wanting you anyway?"

"yeah." he sighed.

"well fear means I have something to lose and I don't ever want to lose you. I'm in. so in, its embarrassing." I felt his hot breath against my neck. I breathed heavily. I took a deep breath.

"God I really want to see and kiss you right now."

"I know me too but.." he pushed me against the door putting my hands over my head. he started getting close to my neck. I kept breathing heavy. I started biting my lips. "I'll uh see you out there." I said quietly. I got out of the closet and Leaned against the door hitting my lip smiling. spencer ran down the stairs and grabbed my hand and pulled me back up. "Come on everyone thinks you're a run away bride."
I followed her to the doors. my mom and everyone hugged me saying "oh thank god." And freaking out wiping each others tears away. I thought to myself realizing I'd never walk away from Ezra. I snapped back into reality. Hanna barged the ought the doors asking me to stay calm. she pulled my mother aside. I over heard them. "We may have a runaway groom." I stared into the distance at those words. did he leave? or was he still in the closet?

EZRAS POV:
"Nicole stop let me go. we're through. I'm late." finally she let me go. I ran into the church room. everyone suddenly breathed at the same time and held their chest like they have been without air for minutes.

ARIAS POV:
I heard the music. was he there? my dad took me by the arm and I smiled. I closed my eyes looking down not knowing what I was going to walk up to. Possibly nothing. we go to the end of the aisle. the music stopped. I knew he wasn't there but when I opened my eyes he was reaching for my hands to pull me to the alter with him. I saw the tears in his eyes. It's like the world stopped. it was like it was only me and him. The room was spinning. I felt the tears form in my eyes as he spoke. "aria, for the first time in my life, I know home isn't always four walls and a roof. I know home can be a body with scars and endless thoughts. I know home can be a skeleton with a rib cage and a heart behind it. I know home can have Windows to the soul and a nose in between. I know it can have brown eyes changing like leaves in fall. I know it can have a contagious laugh with a smile to go with it. and for the first time..." he stopped for a minute. my eye finally realized a tear I sniffed bending my head over looking down thinking I don't deserve him. I really don't. he let go of one of my hands, tilted my head up and wiped the tears away. his eyes filled too. "and for the first time I know what it's like to be homesick. I've loved you since the first time I saw you. And this ring, this ceremony, and these words are simply a way to show the rest of the world what's been in my heart for as long as I've known you. I love you Aria. You're the love of my life. I always have and always will. I will love you with everything I have left. My heart has been through war but even with wounds I will still kiss you with air. from this day forward I promise to have you and to hold. for worse. for richer or poorer. In sickness and health. our story is just beginning and it's going to be a good one." I took deep breaths. what did I do to deserve someone as amazing as him? hearing his beautiful words but when it was my turn I froze up. I forgot to write vows because I thought we weren't getting married. I looked out to see the lights from the video recorder disappearing. the people fading. I looked back at him and smiled. it was like it was only us and I wasn't nervous anymore because everything I had to ever say to him finally popped in my head like a melody to my favorite song.

"when I came into this relationship I didn't know what love was. I never felt it before, I know what it is now and I feel it all the time. You are more than my husband. you're my whole world, my smile, my laugh, soulmate, best friend, my everything. you're the love of my life. I love everything about you, Ezra. I love the way you challenged me more than anyone ever has. I love the way you look at me like no one ever has. and I love the way you love me more than anyone ever has. I can't imagine spending my life without you, Ezra. You showed me one important thing that no one has ever been able to show me before. Not that I'm beautiful, not that I'm smart or sweet. None of that. You showed me that I was important, that there's reason for me to be here. You made me feel like the world was lucky to have me. And I don't know if anyone will ever show me that again if I ever lost you. I can't because if I lose you I'll lose myself too. from this moment forward my life begins. with you. five years apart and coming back and realizing it was still there it was undeniable. maybe it was fate or whatever but whatever it was in so happy that road led me back to you. I love you Ezra fitz and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you." I looked into his eyes as a tear fell from his eye.

"...you may now kiss the bride..."

he pulled me in and kissed me with so much passion. he dipped me down. and when he pulled away my stomach had butterflies and I was left breathless. my eyes fluttered up as I was still holding his cheeks. he still had one arm around me and had one hand on my cheek as he wiped the tears away as he pulled me up. he stood me back upright. I tilted my head to his forehead and stood there for a minute. "we did it, we really did it." I whispered to him through my teeth smiling. he wrapped one arm around my back and turned me to face everyone. he took me by the hand and we walked down that aisle together.
