~Chapter 4~

-SKYLARS P.O.V-

"You're my forever." Hunter says and I nod and kiss him again, this time as Skylar Hayes. The music to Wanted starts playing again and we walk out Hunter and I leading and Natalie walks in front of us holding my free hand. We all go out into the gathering area and Hunter and I say our thank yous to everyone as they walk out. "Picture time!" Hayley says excitedly and I smile. "I think she's more excited then you are Sky." Hunter says and I giggle. "Let her be happy!" I say hitting his shoulder lightly and he pulls me in for a kiss. "I'll never get used to kissing you, Skylar Hayes." Hunter whispers and I shiver looking into his eyes that made me fall in love each time I saw them with the way they sparkled with passion, and love. "Hurry!" Hayley says pulling me from Hunter, breaking my trance, and we walk back into the wedding area. All the bridesmaids and groomsmen gather in a circle on the black carpet surrounded by rose petals and Hunter and I stand in the circle also, Natalie standing in between us. Then Sam, who is taking most of our photos, gets a picture of all of our shoes since everyone's are red except for Hunters, Natalie's, and mine which are black. We take a group shot of the guys and they hold Hunter across them in there arms and he makes a funny face and we all laugh as Hayley takes the picture. Then they take a nice shot together. All the girls get in and the guys step out except Hunter who stands there with his arms extended and he's smirking as the girls pretend to fawn over him. Then the girls and I take a photo and I'm holding out my hand as they are all gasping. Then we take a serious shot together before Hayley and I take a picture together our backs facing each others with our arms crossed and we are turning our heads so we are looking at each other. Then the guys come in and we take a funny picture of all the guys pretending to take pictures of me as I pose like a inexperienced model would. Then Hunter, Natalie, and I take a shot of us from behind both Hunter and I holding Natalie's hands as we swing her in between us.  Finally, Hunter and I take a shot together of his forehead leaning against mine. I put my hands on his chest and he rests his on my waist. We stare into each others eyes and Sam takes the picture and then the photoshoot is over after what seems like millions of pictures have been taken with a million mess ups from us laughing to hard. "So that's over!" I say exhaling and giggling and Hunter nods smiling. "Now its time for the reception!" He says excitedly and I smile as he takes my hand. The sun begins to slowly go down even though it was still early, but the sunset illuminated the sky in a beautiful red and orange color, as the breeze played on my skin. Everybody else had already went to the location of the reception and Hunter and I walk to it slowly, and we talk as we always would, and we walk up to the reception area. There's a white arch wrapped in roses and black lights. We walk through and I gasp tears forming in my eyes. There are trees with deep red fall leaves surrounding the area and there is many tables clothed in black table cloths. There are white chairs around the tables with red rose petals in the middle of each table and candles in the middle of the roses. There are white and black lights hanging from each tree that surrounds the area. There is a small stage with a microphone on it, and a projector behind it and there's an opening as a dance floor. There are balloons everywhere and the room feels magical and full of love from the all guests talking quietly. Everybody cheers as Hunter and I walk into the room hand in hand. I smile as we walk to the table where Sam, Hayley, Matt, Ashley, Steve, and Val were sitting. There are two open chairs in the middle of the long table and we walk up to them still standing hand in hand. "Thank you everybody for coming to experience this day with Skylar and I, it means a lot and we love you all." Hunter says and I smile and everybody hits the top of their wine glasses signalling for us to kiss. Hunter leans down and kisses me and everybody cheers and I giggle. "That same giggle ever since 7th grade." Hunter whispers and I smile at him. We sit down and everybody gets there plates and goes to the long food table. Hunter and I go first and everybody else follows. Soon after we begin to eat Hayley stands and goes to the stage. "So Sam and I have prepared some stories about the happy couple before they were together and I'm going first!" She says laughing and I shake my head laughing as well. "Well of course I'm gonna embarrass Skylar, so here it goes." She says laughing and Hunter puts his hand on my knee. "I met Skylar on her seventeenth birthday, also her first day of school in Miami, and we became friends right away. We hung out that day after school and she waited by the phone all day, talking about this blonde kid named Hunter, waiting for him to call her. Soon the phone rang and she cut me off in the middle of a conversation, to talk for THREE hours with this kid while I sat there." She says and I laugh. "Then when he had to leave she was all red, and she followed by, I think I like him. Then guess who she talked about till I had to leave that night, Hunter, and she THOUGHT she liked him." She says and I laugh and turn red. "This went on for months, and she always had a new story for me about this blondie and his journey, and when he came to visit her for the first time, I swear she was getting ready for like 4 days prior getting everything perfect." Hayley says and I laugh and Hunter takes me hand. "I guess it all worked out for them though, all the hours spent on the phone were worth it, all the time spent makes up just in the way you look at each other. There's a connection that no person can break, not even each other can break, and when you guys say forever, you mean it." She says and I smile already crying and stand and hug her but I feel someone tap my shoulder. "My turn." Sam says laughing and I laugh as Hayley and I return to our seats. "So since it seems like the time for embarrassing stories, when I first met Hunter he never shut up about this blonde girl he was 'in love' with and I'd always laugh at him thinking he was crazy, not knowing he was right. He would tell me stories about her and show me pictures of her. One night while he was sleeping we heard him even whisper her name. Another night she was sick and he cancelled rehearsal to talk to her all night while she sat at home." He says and Hunter turns red. "Though there was miles between them, Hunter would do anything for her. He still would do anything for her, I believe they call that love. Hunter I'm glad you have found love, and I'm glad its with Skylar, who is just like the amazing girl you'd describe to me in the late hours of the night on that small bus when you missed her. Hunter and Skylar, you guys are like family to me, and I'm so incredibly happy for you both." He says and I stand and hug him crying now and everyone claps. After everyone finishes eating its time to do the cake. Hunter and I walk over to the table with the cake on it. Its a white cake with the words to Wanted on it in black. There's fake rose petals all over the layers of the cake and there two roses laying on the top, one black, one white. Hunter puts his hand around mine and we cut the cake and everybody claps and I giggle. I smile and I see my mom with tears in her eyes. I see Hunters parents hugging and I see Sam holding Natalie and she's giggling and Hayley's next to him. I see everyone else, all of our other family and friends around and I smile. I take in everything around me all the family and friends, all the love. My daughter, mine and Hunters daughter, our parents, our friends. Everything seemed perfect, and in this moment, it was perfect. I take a fork and I take a piece off the cake. I pick up a bit of the cake on the fork and Hunter looks at me and laughs and I feed it to him giggling. He takes his finger and wipes some frosting off the cake and he wipes it on my cheek and I giggle. "I love you so much Skylar." He whispers in my ear before kissing off the icing. "I love you too Hayes." I say and he smiles before kissing me lightly. Everybody gets a piece of cake and Hunter takes my hand and leads me to the stage as everyone sits again. "Hey everybody," He says into the microphone and I stand next to him. "I wrote a song for Skylar, and I want to share it tonight with you guys." He says and I smile placing my hands over my mouth as the lights turn off except for the lit trees, and a spotlight on us. Sam hands Hunter his acoustic guitar and he begins to play a soft melody.

-HUNTERS P.O.V-

I began to strum lightly and Skylar puts her hands over her mouth, the way she always would when she was surprised. She took her hands away and a tear fell from her eyes onto her cheek and over her lips that were pulled into a smile. I scanned her taking in everything. The way her hair fell perfectly, the way her eyes glittered when she was excited. Her giggle, the same giggle that made me fall in love with her back in seventh grade. Her smile that made my heart flutter when she showed it. I look to her hand and I see the wedding ring, and the promise ring, she wore them everyday and every time I saw them I couldn't believe she was my wife. My best friend, Skylar, stole my heart. Today I married my best friend, and I knew we had a big road ahead of us, but together we were ready for it, at least, I thought we were.

-SKYLARS P.O.V-

I smile, tears running down my face as Hunter sings the song. "You're my forever." Hunter sings at the end of the song. "I love you Skylar, you really are my forever." He says and I'm still crying. He sets his guitar down and he puts his hands on my waist. "May I have this dance Skylar Hayes?" He asks and I nod. Wanted, our song, begins to play and we connect hands as we begin to dance. We dance slowly talking as I rest my head on his shoulder. "Do you still think spending everyday with me would be horrible?" Hunter says and I burst out laughing. "What would you do if I said yes?" I asked and he laughed. "Spend the rest of my life trying to make each day better than the last." "You already do that." I say looking up as he sways us and he leans down and kisses me before spinning me around and I smile and lean my head back on his shoulder. Our heartbeats playing together, playing my favorite song.
