Abused By A Pop Star

Chapter 17: The Wedding

Today's the big day. I'm more nervous than I thought I was going to be. All my friends and family are arriving at the church, and I'm still getting ready upstairs.

I'm about to cry because I'm delighted and excited to marry him. When we were a bit younger, I promised that if neither of us was married within five years, we would marry each other.

Our first kiss was magical. It was before Nathan asked me to be his girlfriend, though, and I will never forget it.

I'm starting to have feelings for him. It's been almost two years, and I can't help my feelings. I don't know if he feels the same way about me. I want to kiss him so badly. He's almost always busy, but I'm glad he gets a week off every now and again.

"Hey, Lucy, movie night tonight?"

"Yeah. My mom and her girlfriend are gone for the weekend."

"Great. I've been looking forward to this all week. I love movie night, and especially at your house." He smiles and wraps an arm around my shoulder.

"Why my house?" I look up curiously.

"Because there's no one else to bother us whenever we're here. Jess always has friends at my house, and they're always invading my privacy and asking me stuff."

"I know." I giggle, looking up at him.

"That's why we moved movie night to your house."

Later that night, I sit on the couch with a bowl of popcorn next to him. I lean my head against his shoulder as we watch the movies we picked out. I can't help but feel I should kiss him now, and I want to so very, very badly. He starts to stand up, but I pull him back to me and see our faces are inches apart. He seems nervous and a little confused as to why I pulled him back down to me.

"Lucy, what are y-" I cut him off before he can say another word with a passionate kiss. He seems taken aback but kisses me back with the same passion. The kiss lasts a lot longer than I thought. It's not my first kiss, but it is my first kiss with him.

"Whoa." I bite my lip and look into his eyes.

"Yeah." He bites his lip, too, and then kisses me again, but it's more intense this time.

Lucy's POV

I will never forget that kiss. I thought Nathan would kiss me first, but I did because I could hardly handle the tension. Why can't women take charge and kiss a boy when she wants to? The paparazzi have criticized me for being older than Nathan and for having a baby in high school at the age of fifteen years. They've judged how I've lived my life for the past six years.

I turn around and see Tom, Siva, Jay, and Max walk into the room and over to me. I can hardly believe this is happening, so I hug each of them and kiss their cheek. Siva hands me a tissue so I dab my eyes and don't mess up my makeup.

"You look beautiful, Lucy. Nathan hasn't stopped talking about how happy he is to marry you." They sit around me in their matching tuxes.

"Thank you, guys. I love you a lot for never giving up on him and caring for him the whole time you've been in a band. You're all more like brothers to him than just band mates."

"You are family too. We wish the best for you two." Jay stands up and hugs me once more before he walks out; Tom and Siva hug me simultaneously. "We all love you, Lucy."

"The next time we see you, you'll be A Sykes." Max laughs a little, then hugs me tight. "See you soon." He walks out after Tom and Siva and then closes the door.

I love them as if they were my brothers, and when I say I do to Nathan, I'll feel even more like part of their family. They've never given up on him. They helped him through everything, and that's what real friends do for each other. They stick by you no matter what.

I feel emotional now. I'm getting married in less than half an hour and six months pregnant. There's no other guy I want to marry now. He means so much to me, and I love him more than words could ever describe.

Nathan's POV

I look out to see friends and family sitting down. I've never been so nervous before in my life. I mean, we played at Wembley a few months after we became a band and performed in front of over 70,000 people. That was nerve-wracking, but this is making me even more nervous than that day.

"You ready, Nath?" The guys walk into the room and stand by the door. "It's time."

This is happening right now. I take a deep breath and follow the guys to the back of the church. They escort their girlfriends down the aisle then I escort my mum down the aisle. I make my way up the steps and stand by the priest.

Soon the music starts playing, and I look up to see the doors opening, revealing that Lucy is standing there with the biggest smile. She walks down the aisle with her father, who showed up a few days ago. He's almost in tears as they start walking down the aisle. I remember a unique moment in our relationship with each step she takes. Our first kiss, our first date, our engagement, and the first time we had sex. I'll never forget those moments and especially this day.

She makes it up the steps, then stands in front of me, and I hold her hands and smile at her. We saw our vows and put the wedding rings on each other's fingers.

"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss your bride." The priest takes a step back when I lean in and kiss Lucy like the first time we kissed. We break the kiss then I hold her hand. "Everyone, I present to you, Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Sykes." Everyone cheers as we walk down the aisle together and then out to the limo waiting for us.

The limo takes us to the reception just a few miles away. We walk inside as the deejay announces us. He starts the song for our first dance. I hold one of her hands and then place my other hand on her waist as we dance slowly to the music together. I can't believe it, and we're married.

After our first dance, I dance with my mother, who dances with her father. Soon we walk over to the cake and cut a piece, smash it into each other's faces and laugh. I don't think I could be any happier than right now.

Three months later, we welcome our healthy baby boy into the world. He's twenty inches tall, six pounds ten ounces. We decided on the name Hunter James Sykes. This is the second happiest day of my life, and I love them both to death.
