A Reason to Believe [Jelena]

Chapter 30

Selena's POV;

Graduation was on Wednesday. It went well. Justin and I will be moving to our dorm together at NYU at the end of the summer. Today, is my wedding. I am in the dressing room with my mom and Demi. I wear http://www.polyvore.com/untitled_501/set?id=96068328. "You ready?" my mom asks. I nod. I get up from my chair. Demi and my mom lead me out. I step out onto the aisle. A Thousand Years by Christina Perri starts playing. I make my way down the aisle. Justin is waiting for me at the end with Ryan and his dad. Jazzy walks in front of me throwing flowers at the floor. My brother sits in the chairs up front with his date, Katy. He finally got the nerves to ask her out last week.

I stand at the end of the aisle next to Justin. He wears a full suit. And dress shoes. This is the first time, I've seen him in shoes other than Supras. The priest says his thing. It is now time to read our vows.
"I vow to help you love life, to always hold you with tenderness and to have the patience that love demands, to speak when words are needed and to share the silence when they are not, to agree to disagree on red velvet cake, and to live within the warmth of your heart and always call it home," I say. Justin smiles at me. He takes a deep breath.

"I vow to fiercely love you in all your forms, now and forever. I promise to never forget that this is a once in a lifetime love. And to always know in the deepest part of my soul that no matter what challenges might carry us apart, we will always find our way back to each other." I smile at him. "You may now kiss the bride," the priest finally says. Justin throws his arms around me and kisses my lips. We walk down the aisle hand in hand and go to the after party.

The after party goes well. It is the very end of the after party. I am with Demi. I don't know where Justin went. The music stops playing. I turn around to see Justin at the microphone. He starts singing. "It's a little bit funny this feeling inside I'm not one of those who can easily hide I don't have much money but boy if I did I'd buy a big house where we both could live If I was a sculptor, but then again, no Or a man who makes potions in a traveling show I know it's not much but it's the best I can do My gift is my song and this one's for you And you can tell everybody this is your song It may be quite simple but now that it's done I hope you don't mind I hope you don't mind that I put down in words How wonderful life is while you're in the world I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song

It's for people like you that keep it turned on So excuse me forgetting but these things I do You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue Anyway the thing is what I really mean Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen And you can tell everybody this is your song It may be quite simple but now that it's done I hope you don't mind I hope you don't mind that I put down in words How wonderful life is while you're in the world I hope you don't mind I hope you don't mind that I put down in words How wonderful life is while you're in the world."

I clap my hands as he ends the song and walks off the stage. Tears are in my eyes. He walk over to me and hugs me.
"That was beautiful," I tell him. "Thanks," he says. At the end of the night, I am forced to give a speech. I look out into the crowd and see Justin.
"I never thought in a million years that the same year that I was brought so much sadness, I would be brought so much joy. I am in love and I am certain that nothing will tear us apart. When I was in my darkest place, Justin gave me hope.He gave me something that I really needed at the time. He gave me something that kept me alive. He gave me, a reason to believe."
