Naive (Harry Styles Fanfic)

Chapter 40 "Goodbye"

The sound of the waves mixed with the smell of the millions of jasmine flowers that were all put one by one on the floor and through all the aisle.

All the chairs perfectly positioned next to each other in color white with more flowers on them were perfectly matched with the beautiful altar that were in the middle of it.

I couldn’t believe my parents were getting married today. Two people that were meant to be together finally were about to reach their dream. It is funny how love works, right? If two people are meant to be together they will be together, no matter how much it takes. I loved that quote but I’ve never understood it until now. It all suits for me; I understand every single piece of that puzzle now. Maybe I was the missing piece and I was the only one who could put all the pieces together. It is funny, as I said before, because now, my own puzzle was messier than ever.

I looked at myself on the mirror for the last time. I put one piece of hair back and put the necklace my mother bought me for my 16th birthday. I couldn’t help but think on Harry. No matter how hard I try to forget him, or to not think about him, it’s impossible. I wished he was there with me spending this beautiful day, but I’m afraid he’s not coming.

“Leah, are you ready?” said Becky. I turned around and looked at her. Wow, she was gorgeous! Seriously I was improving in my taste of fashion.

“Wow, you’re incredible”

“Yeah, the truth is I am, all thanks to you Leah” she smiled at me and handed me her hand. “It’s time to go”

We went to the queue. I was going to be the last one and after me it was going to be my mum and my aunt would be closing the queue. I was super excited and nervous, and although I didn’t want to think of Harry, he was there with me, somehow occupying all the room on my mind. Lots of questions were on my mind, like should I look at him if he’s out there? What am I supposed to say? Or the worst of them all, will he attend the wedding?

The girls started walking slowly and I had a deep breath. My sister smiled at me and Becky did the same. I smiled back at them but I think it seemed like a very fake smile because I just couldn’t. My hands were literally shaking and my legs were going weak.

Finally I saw my dad on the altar waiting for my mum and all the guests were up. My eyes were looking for Harry. His hair, his eyes, his something but they couldn’t find anything. Maybe he was on the other side… But that thought faded away when he didn’t appear. I sat on my seat a little bit disappointed. I just had a little bit of hope to see him here with me. I didn’t want to be mad at him, in fact I wasn’t, but I just need him. I realized that I need him in my life and that he’s a part of me, but I’d better get used to it because he’s going to the xfactor now and I’m going back to my country. But still one part of me was looking for him, he must be somewhere around here…

My dad and mum were super happy, I’ve never seen my mum like that in ages. It made me feel really proud of me and of her to make this decision. Both were smiling to each other and were just super cute. I couldn’t help but feel super emotional and maybe those were some of the parts I stopped thinking of him, but I didn’t know how he always came back to my mind.

“You may now kiss the bride” said the priest. Everyone stood up and started clapping including myself. My sister held my hand and Becky did the same thing.

“We’re family now” she said.

“We’ve always have been” I said wiping away a tear coming from my eyes. I did was emotional but I was also sad due to the fact that he wasn’t there. I didn’t see him, at least not yet. But I didn’t want them to notice that I was feeling bad for a boy, no. I was going to pretend I was happy for my parents.
