Gabe ran a hand through his hair and shrugged, "No big ceremony, in four hours just you and me with these two goofs."

I blinked and shifted on my feet, "My mom will be pissed and my dad will hate you, my brother can screw off. So yes, four hours exactly?"

Sage shoved me towards the door, "Hurry up let's go than." She panicked.

"See you there." I smiled.

--

"Wow." Sage smirked, shaking her head.

I looked at the white dress that I had on, the sweetheart neckline showing off my tanned shoulders and a bit of my chest. With help from a little bit of help from some make up the hickeys were as well gone.

"Yeah." I smirked, allowing the material to swirl around my knee caps. "This is it."

We quickly paid and I slipped into the car, playing with the box in my hand that held Gabe's ring. My hair was in waves, the natural waves from a braid as I fixed the easy eye liner and mascara as we stopped in the small church parking lot.

"You nervous?" She asked.

"Yes." I laughed, slipping from the car.

We walked up the steps, our hands clasped together as she peaked around the corner of the door.

"We see you!" Matt yelled and I froze.

"Shit shit shit." I panicked.

Sage laughed and squeezed my hand, pulling me into the door way her eye brows raising as she blocked my view.

"You've got this. It's just Matt and Gabe, breathe you will survive." Sage laughed, hugging me quickly before holding out her arm and placing a headphone in my ear.

I closed my eyes for a split second and then opened them, scanning the small space and only noticing the two guys that stood at the front.

"Let's go Miss Spears!" Matt laughed and I placed my remaining hand on my hip.

"Let's go Mr Duchene." I laughed, sticking out my elbow.

He laughed and stepped around Gabe, jogging to my end of the room before slipping his arm through.

"Alright how do we do this?" He asked, adjusting the sleeve of his jacket.

"Right then left." Sage instructed.

Matt and Sage both began to hum and I tilted my head back as I laughed, stepping with them to their beat before I was stopped in front of Gabe who as well tried to hold in laughter.

"Now Raiyne, make sure you go to bed on time." Sage instructed.

"Yes mom." I laughed.

"Now Gabriel, do not hurt my little girl or else I will hurt you." Matt stated and I couldn't hold in the laughter that shook my shoulders.

"Yes Sir?" Gabe laughed.

"Ok ok. Be serious." Sage demanded, pressing her lips to my cheek.

"I am serious." I smirked.

Gabe held out his hand and I placed mine in it, suddenly nervous as my heart slammed in my chest.

"You look beautiful." He smiled, and I blinked for a moment.

"Thanks." I finally blurted. "You look great too."

He laughed and I took a deep breath before running my free hand through my hair, widening my eyes before laughing once again.
