Avery and Erin exchange I do's. I cry the whole time while Jace holds my hand. I am crying partially because I am so happy for my brother and at the same time, because I want what he has. Its like insult to injury. Thats why I didn't tell them what happened. I didn't want them to think about me on their happiest day.

I think about getting up to congratulate the new couple after he kisses her but everyone swarms them as they exchange hugs and kisses. My feet are twice the size they are when I wore these high heels so I stay put.

"I'm getting myself a drink. Do you want anything?" Jace asks me.

"Water." I say and he nods as he leaves me alone at the table. I spent the three hours since I got here on meeting everyone and telling them, yes I am pregnant and no, the father couldn't make it. Jake was mad at Harry for not being here and I had to tell him he was caught in a meeting and had to stay in the city. He bought it.

The wedding was beautiful, Erin looked fantastic as she walked down the isle decorated by lilies. In fact, the whole venue looks mesmerising. Everywhere is decorated by flowers and the tables and chairs are flourished to set the mood. I would like to get married here.

They start handing out the menus for food when I realise I have no appetite of any sorts. Its almost 9 in the evening too. I might as well get the first train back home after saying bye to Avery and Erin. I realise that might be rude but its snowing outside now so if I don't go now, I don't know when I can leave. Besides, watching this makes my insides churn and burn. I don't know if I can stand it anymore without passing out.

I feel my stomach turn and I quickly rush to the bathroom. All the stalls are taken and I'm about to barf everything I have inside of me. I quickly run outside as fast as I can in these heels, making sure no one sees me leave. I step outside the doors and quickly run to a remote spot away from the building. Thank god there are trees outside. I hide behind one and empty my stomach. All I could think about during the ceremony except for my happiness for Avery was Harry and I couldn't take it anymore. With my heels digging into the soil, I wipe my mouth with the wipes I brought and start walking back inside. Its snowing out and I didn't grab my coat on the way out.

Just as I am to enter the building again, a dark vehicle in the snow storm pulls up and parks the car. It goes so fast and so wobbly before coming to a hard stop, I stand by to see who it is.

The door opens and the mystery douchebag that is clearly drunk rolls out from the other side of the car. I can't see them yet. The drunk driver walks over the hood and when the headlights he left on, shines on him, I loose my breathe. Its Harry.

He looks beyond pissed as he takes wide and uneven steps towards the building. I don't know what to do. He hasn't seen me yet, he is too busy managing his two left feet. I can run back inside but I'm pregnant and running in heels is hard as it is. Its snowing and my head is spinning.

He looks up at me the second I decide to bolt. When I look into his green eyes, I freeze. I can't move. He can't either. We just stand there, under the snow, looking at each other. He stumbles as he stares at me. He takes a step toward me and the alcohol mixed with his cologne hits me. Its so strong it makes me nauseas.

I take a step back when he leaps forward and closes the space between us, taking a hold of my arm.

"You came here with him?" He spits as I feel the ground under me shake. I don't give into the familiar feeling of fainting, instead I take a deep breathe in and try to stand up. Has he been crying?

"Harry I-" My mind is struggling to make a sentence when I hear someone else behind me.

"Alex are you out here?" Its Jace. I curse my luck. Why couldn't he just stay inside?
