I Can Hear The Bells

Chapter 36

Simon's POV

 A month later...

         I can hear the wedding bells playing. I'm pretty sure they're just in my head, but this is it. I've been dreaming of this day for over a year and it's finally here.  I can't wait to marry Demi. We've decided that she is going to have both of our last names. In other words, she'll be Ms. Demi Lovato-Cowell. I love the way that rolls off of my tongue.

          I adjust my tie. In the mirror, I can see Nick standing behind me. I instantly tense up. Him and I have barely spoken since the tour ended. "Simon, I didn't come here to try to stop your wedding. I wanted to apologize for all of my negative actions towards you. You and Demi are meant for each other. I've never seen any man make her as happy as you do. You don't have to worry about me. I've accepted that Demi isn't mine. Plus it's not like she's out of my life. Her and I will always be best friends." I smile a small smile. "I know at the end of the day you didn't mean harm Nick. You're no where even close to as mean as Wilmer. In fact, you're a good guy and I hope you find that special someone one day. I have no doubt that you will." "Thank you Simon. I'm going to head back to my seat, but good luck." "Thank you." I take a deep breath and walk out behind him. 

           I take my place at the front of the altar. A minute later the wedding march begins to play and out comes Demi being walked down the aisle by her mother. She's wearing a long cream colored dress with poofy ruffles at the edges with pink flowers. It's beautiful. Correction, she's beautiful. I make sure to tell her that when she grabs my hands. She blushes and I bite back a laugh. The priest says the same speech you hear at every wedding. 

          5 minutes later...

         We're told to exchange vows. I volunteer to go first. I unfold a paper in my pocket. I turn to face the audience. "Just to let you know, that I actually am using vows I heard on a TV called Once Upon A Time.They're vows from Rumple to Belle. I know it's frowned not to right my own vows, but these words just spoke to me on a deep level." 

          "Demi, when we met, I wasn't just unloved, and unloving, I was an enemy of love. Love had only brought me pain. My walls were up, but you broke them down. You brought me home. You brought light to my life and chased away all the darkness. And I vow to you, I will never forget the distance between what I was and what I am. I owe more to you than I can ever say. How you can see the man behind the monster, I will never know."

           Demi smiles and wipes some tears away. "Simon, for so long before I met you, I was broken. Despite my period of attending rehab awhile back, my demons still attacked me. You're the first man who has stuck by me long enough to completely slay them. I love you so much and there is nothing I am looking forward to more than seeing what the future holds for us." 

           I smile. Her vows were lovely. We both say our "I dos." The priest beams. "By the power invested in me, I present you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride." "Don't mind if I do." That gets some laughs out of the audience as Demi pulls me in for the kiss. I wish I could live in this moment forever.
