Finding Love ~ Book•2✔️

Chapter Thirty~

"Alison; I need you." He stakes steps towards me. I take take steps back. Him watching me move away from him, makes him stop.

"Please, can we talk." He sounds so lost. I almost want to feel bad for him.

"Wesley, this is my wedding day. I can't do this right now," I try to keep my voice quiet. I don't want my guest listening in even though I know they already are, "I don't want to do this." He clutches the bottle of vodka in his hands.

"Please. Alison." He pleads for me to listen. I shake my head.

"Al?" Mel joins me, standing beside me.

"Wesley what are you doing here?" Mel asks him calmly.

"I need to talk to Alison." Wesley takes another step forward. I watch as he stares intently at my stomach.

"You need to leave." Mel tells him. Wesley shakes his head.

"Alison please." He just sounds so broken.

"It's about Alyssa." Her name makes me want to listen. I look at Mel.

"I'll be back in a few minutes; don't tell Aiden." I mumble to her. I walk over to Wesley.

"Lets go." We walk into my back door.

"Why did you come here?" I get straight to the point.

"I need help Alison." I listen as his voice cracks. I'm still trying to figure out how wasted he is.

"First let me." I grab the bottle from his hand and toss it in the trash. 

"Alyssa died three years ago, today." He mumbles as he looks at the ground.

"I haven't thought about her in so long. It hurts to do so, but thinking about her made me think about myself. What I did to you was so screwed up." He begins explaining why he's here.

"All the things I did to you were so screwed up. All I want is to be the guy I was back in high school." I nod. I want that guy back too.

"Alyssa wouldn't have liked this version of me; in fact she would have hated it. That's why I need you. I need you to help me." I watch as a single tear slips down his cheek. I'm really feeling for him right now. I've only seen him like this once and it was the day Alyssa died.

I reach forwards and grab his hand and give it a comforting squeeze.

"Come on." I pull him back outside. Maybe bringing him back outside where everyone was, wasn't the brightest idea. I should have made him leave through the front door.

"Uh oh." I mutter as I watch Aiden storm through our yard.

"Get the fuck away from her!" I watch in horror and surprise as Aiden punches Wesley in the jaw. His hand whips to the side. Aiden pushes Wesley; which results in Wesley falling into one of the tables. Knocking it over. I watch as my guest seated at the table scramble away.

"Aiden!" I shriek. I hear a few gasps. I look around and see everyone watching. Tears form in my eyes. Partially because I'm pregnant and partially because my wedding night is ruined.

Wesley doesn't just let Aiden hit him. He fights back. I watch as they fall to the ground; beating each other.

"Stop it!" I yell at them both.

"Stop!" My voice cracks as tears form. It's ruined. This is not how I wanted this night to go. Finally people intervene. Eli and Ethan pull them apart.

"You ruined it." I mumble as I pass Aiden. Mel, Lily, Kelsey, and Hailey rush over to me. I walk quickly through my yard.

"Honey; it's all right." Lily tried to calm me. I look back at her.

"No it's not!" I feel a pain in my stomach.

"Ugh." I lay my hands over my stomach.

"You need to calm down." Kelsey grabs my arm.

"This night is over." I pull away from her and walk inside. My lip and chin quiver as I head into my living room. I reach up to my hair and pull the bands out as I walk up stairs. I shake my head side to side and let my curls fall loose. I open my door and head over to my closet. I strip from my dress and safely put it away so that it can't be damaged.

I pull one of Aiden's sweatshirts over my head and pull on a pair of sweatpants as well. Walking past my dresser I grab a hair bow and tie my hair up. I sit down at my vanity and take off my makeup.

"This night went nothing like I wanted it to go." I mutter to myself, still very upset. I pinch the bridge of my nose and let out a deep sigh. Having enough of this I turn off my lights so that it's completely dark, and climb into my bed.

I lay in bed for a long while; just staring at the dark ceiling. When my door creeks open I shut my eyes and pretend to be asleep. I heard our closet open and I know Aiden is changing. My body stiffens when he climbs into our bed and pulls me into him.

"I know you're awake." He mumbles. His voice sending shivers down my spine.

"I'm sorry, and I love you Alison." He places a kiss on my cheek and tightens his grip around my waist. No matter what he does; I can't stay mad at him. But I haven't forgiven him yet. I let myself get comfortable and snuggle into him.

I truly love this; and I can't believe we are husband and wife, even if tonight wasn't as perfect as I hoped it would be, it was still kind of amazing because I get to spend forever with the person I'm madly in love with.
