*Louis' POV*

I cannot believe this moment right now. As I watch my beautiful bride walk down the aisle. Kathleen is the most beautiful and kind woman I have ever met and I am glad to say she is about to be all mine. I am shaking right now. Get a hold of yourself Lou! I glance at my best man, Liam as he gives me a nod of assurance. I turn back. There she is, getting closer and closer, feet away from me. I just want to run up to her, but I have to be patient. She was my first love and she will be my last love. Mrs. Tomlinson... Kathleen Tomlinson. Our eyes meet when she approaches the altar. I can't believe the love of my life is standing before me. We join hands and all I focus on is her. This is the moment I've been waiting for...

"Louis, do you take Kathleen for your lawful wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?" asks the priest.

"I do." I say.

"Kathleen, do you take Louis for your lawful husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?" asks the priest again.

"I do." Kathleen says.

"Kathleen, take this ring as a sign of my love and fidelity. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit."

"Louis, take this ring as a sign of my love and fidelity. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit."

Then the priest finally says, "I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride."

We kiss, and when our lips meet it feels as if we were the only two people on the earth. I love her with all my heart and more. She is the best thing that has ever happened to me and I am proud to say that I am her husband. The kiss seems as if it was for centuries when it was merely 3 to 5 seconds. We join hands and walk out of the church I was baptized in and everyone is throwing rice at us. My mother is crying "happy tears" because she believes that her baby boy is so grown up when everyone knows I'm still a momma's boy. All last week she was telling me about how excited she is for grandkids and I'm sure she'll have a few. We get into the limo and make a quick stop at Starbucks. I know I know. Stop? At Starbucks? Right now? But this is where we bumped into each other six years ago. I remember it like it was yesterday...

Flashback

I walk into Starbucks with a big frown on my face. Eleanor just broke up with me. She says that I'm too distracted and that she can tell I don't truly love her. She was right, all I could think about was Kathleen. I ran into her a few weeks past and I hadn't seen her in so long. She was beautiful like she always was. We had a thing for each other all throughout school, but when I went out for XFactor, our relationship came to a close. Both her and I were devastated and I never fully regained my happiness. Yes I did have some sort of feelings for El, but not like that. She wanted to start settling down and have a family, but I wasn't on board. I didn't want to make a commitment to someone I didn't love. I thought that if we waited longer this could blow over, but there was no future for us. She just told me that almost a year ago she'd been cheating on me. While I was on tour with the lads, she would go from guy to guy every night. The worst of all was that one of my friends saw her with another guy at a club in London, and I didn't believe him. I walk up to the counter and order my favorite. As I pick up my drink from the counter and start walking back out to the street, I bang into someone. We both fall and coffee goes all over.

"I am so sorry! This is all my fault!" the girl says, why is her voice so familiar?

"No it's my fault I can't express how sorry I am and I ruined your clothes!" I say.

"Louis?"

"Oh my God! Kathleen? I thought I would never see you again!" She looked gorgeous. My first love is right beneath me and I'm speechless. We both get up off the ground and I engulf her in a hug and I convince her to come back to my flat.
