Don't Let Me Go

Chapter 26

(I know what I said about author's note etc. but this will be quick.

               This chapter is for some reason private which I can't do anything about so you have to follow me to see this, please let other people know. 

               I just want to let you know that I would really like you to comment, the last chapters have no comments at all on them and that bothers me a bit. Not that I don't appreciate every singe vote, comment and read I get, just that I do put a lot of work in to these stories and have a whole plot figured out and take time out of my new school to write this. I love reading your comments, they make me smile so much and even if it's a little 'Nice chapter!' I feel like I should keep on writing cause you like it. Not wanna push you too much, but just please take a minute to comment and vote if you do actually enjoy the story. Thank you.

               I've created a twitter just for my book now, it's @heymaandie and if you follow me there I will update on the story, answer questions, help you understand things and if you just want to talk I'm always there. I would be happy if you followed me there.

               I've added a picture on Ruby how she looks in the dress so if you want to see that it's somewhere, I don't even know myslef since I have never posted a picture to a chapter before but you'll find it somewhere. 

Happy reading, I love you all.)

When I had calmed down Tony walked downstairs and came up with two tubs of ice cream and spoons for us, holding a DVD in his hand.

"They didn't have Mean Girls but I hope PS I love you is okay?" Tony asked, hiding the DVD behind his back.

"Are you stupid?" I asked and if he really though I was going to watch the only movie, except the Notebook, that made me burst out in tears he was really stupid. 

"I'm joking." chuckled Tony as he pulled the pink Mean Girls DVD from his back and started to adjust the telly so we could both see it. 

I ate my ice cream, the half baked Ben & Jerry taste flattering as always. Tony made me come and watch the movie in his bed, since our beds were king sized their was a lot of space and we didn't have to squeeze in too much. I fell asleep before the movie ended, Tony removed the tube of ice cream just before my eyes closed. 

I didn't sleep well, constant nightmares filling my mind but the worst one was the one I was living right now. 

-

"Wake up." My fathers gentle voice whispered in to my ear and since I wasn't that much of a heavy sleeper I woke up right away. 

"I'm up." I smiled as I sat up in the bed. Tony wasn't here so I presumed he woke up earlier and went downstairs. 

"Breakfast is ready in a minute." My father said before walking out of the room with a smile on his face, leaving me to get ready. I walked to the bathroom, did what I needed and walked downstairs dressed in Tony's t-shirt and a pair of yoga pants. 

Downstairs was chaotic, people running around all the time and I had no idea who half of them were. I recognized my grand parents and Kendra's mum; my mother's best friend. I stepped in to the kitchen, my father was standing chewing on a bagel while Tony had a doughnut in his hand. 

"There are smoothies in the fridge." Tony smiled and I nodded, taking a pink smoothie from the white fridge and sat down next to Tony on the counter. 

"Why aren't you getting ready?" I spoke, looking at my father dressed in sweat pants and a white t-shirt.

"I just have to shower, get dressed and then I'm done. It's for her it takes time." He chuckled, looking at the people running around with stuff for my mother. "She's been up for two hours and they haven't even gotten the dress here yet." He spoke, a bit worried. 

"Everything will be great." Tony assured him with a smile, taking another bite of hid doughnut . My father nodded before he strolled down the kitchen, heading for the showers. 

"What time is the wedding?" I wondered. 

"In three hours." Tony answered, jumping down from the counter and reached his hand out for me to take. I did so, jumping down from the counter as well. We walked together up the stairs and I went in to the bathroom. I needed to take a shower before doing my makeup, hair and getting my dress wrinkle-free. 

The hot water felt good against my body.  Even though I had a shower yesterday before bed I felt like I should shower for a couple of days straight, flushing every scent of Harry off of me. When my hair smelled like apples I got reminded of him pressing his face in my hair just because he loved the smell of it. He played with my hair all the time, telling me he loved it. I hated thinking about him, it made me so sad and he hadn't called since yesterday around dinner. Maybe he had found someone else, or went back with Ariel. 

I needed to get the thoughts away from my head, today was going to be a good day. Weddings are supposed to be about happiness and here I was, crying my eyes out the previous night. 

With a towel wrapped around my body I walked back to our room, took my bag and walked to my own room just next to the room Tony and I shared. It was in a light blue coloured with white detailing. It was huge, but the room we shared was even bigger. The bookshelf was almost empty, I took a lot of books with me to Tony's flat and I had a lot of them at my flat too. I placed my bag down on the queen sized bed with a duvet in the prettiest silk. The rest of the room was quite simple, a wardrobe, a desk, a telly and some small bags with my old toys in them.

I pulled my dress out of the bag and hung it on the wardrobe door, it was a bit wrinkled but nothing you couldn't sort out with an iron. I took my makeup from my makeup bag, placing it on the desk with a mirror in front of it. I started applying foundation, evening out my skin since the stress got reflected on my skin. 

The normal sparkle in my eyes had gone away, leaving them only looking mat brown which wasn't that good of a look. I made my eyes look a bit smoky so it would blend with my not-that-happy eyes. When my cheeks were blushed with a pink colour and my lips defined by a peace coloured lipstick I was pretty satisfied. 

I picked the ear rings Kayla borrowed me out from the bag and hooked them in to my ears, the tiny white stone looking good on me. I strolled downstairs in the hunt for a curling iron and an iron to straighten my dress out. I found the curling iron straight away, lying in a drawer in my parents bedroom. 

I found the other iron in the cleaning room and I walked with them both in my hands up to my room.

My curls turned out perfect, giving my hair even more volume which looked pretty good together with the makeup which was way more than I used to wear. I ironed my dress, a bit insecure about the chest gap but I remembered how it looked on, it was beautiful.

"Hey, are you ready?" Tony's voice spoke from the other side of the door. I had just put my dress on and was just heading for my heels I bought the other day. 

"Yeah, come in." I smiled and Tony did as I ordered.

"Oh dear god, you look amazing." complimented Tony, pulling me in for a hug. I chuckled, standing on one leg since I had my heels on one foot and the other was naked, mixing with my height. 

"Thank you." I smiled. 

"Can you help me tie my tie?" Tony asked and I noticed him wearing his costume for the wedding. It was amazing on him, the dark blue colour almost looking black but you could see in the light which colour it really was. He had a white button up tucked in to his dress pants that hung perfectly from his hips, the tie lying across his shoulders. 

"Of course." I smiled, taking the tie in my hands. He had done something special with his hair today, tucking it back slightly more which revealed his face a bit more which looked good. He should wear his hair like that more often. 

"The perfect duo." smiled Tony as we looked ourselves in the big mirror in his private room. I nodded and smiled, the first genuine smile for quite the while and I felt good about this. Not happy, just better than miserable.
