The Other Woman

Chapter Twenty - Three

My hand was shaking as I attempted to curl my hair. My stomach was in knots and my heart was sunken to my feet. As I tired my curls back into a bun, the shaky breaths trembling over my body, a knock on the bathroom door made me jump, and I took a deep breath before asking a simple 'what.' "Can I talk to you for a minute?" I heard Harry lowly whisper and I yanked him into the bathroom, locking the door behind us.

"Wow.." he breathed as I stood there in some small shorts and my white lacy bra, my make-up and have my hair done. "Look.." I said as I started to finish my hair. "You're going to Marry Amy today and be with her and the baby and live happily ever after. Right?" I was uncertain of what his thoughts were, but he pulled me into a tight embrace and I waited a moment, taking in his succulent smell, before pushing him away. "If that is what you want." I bit my lip before nodding, trying to focus on anything but him. "I just wanted to say thank you.." he started, but I continued to refuse looking him in his eyes. "You've taught me what love is. I'll never forget what we had together, and only wish we could be together in another world. But we can't, and I understand. But I do love you, I always will, and I'll always be here for you. No matter what happens, just know I chose you over Amy. You chose Niall over me." That hurt my heart so much, I felt the water pierce my eyes but I ignored the threatening water works. He stood up, kissed my head before exiting the bathroom. I stood tall, tears flowing out of my eyes, watching the love of my life walk away from me forever.

My leg was bouncing up and down causing enough noise to concern the blue eyed boy next to me. "Love, are you okay?" He asked wearily, placing his hand lightly on my knee. I relaxed under his touch lightly, letting out a loud sigh. "Yeah I'm fine. Just nervous." I said, keeping my stare out the window. "About what?" He questioned, chuckling a bit. "You know, girl stuff.." I tried to make an excuse but I couldn't. "Thinking about our wedding?" He asked and I glanced down at my ring. It gave me a feeling of warmth and a feeling of coldness. "Yeah." I said, finally looking into his loving eyes. He smiled and leaned over to kiss my head. "I could marry you in a McDonald's and still be happy." He said and I laughed lightly, leaning my head on his shoulder. He does make me feel better.

"Okay babe I'm going to Harry, I'll meet you after the wedding.." he kissed me before running off and I was left to enter the church by myself. I walked up the stairs inside the huge building, around the corner and to the guest book. I signed Niall's and my name before handing the pen to the couple behind me and walked slowly into the ceremony. I sat on a nearby bench on the grooms side.

After 10 minutes Niall's family came and sat down in the row with me. Thankfully, someone was gonna sit with me. "Hello!" They all cheered, scooting into the booth. I smiled at them politely and waited on Harry to walk down the aisle.

I watched as he seated his parents, amy's parents, and their grandparents. He looks so good, he looks sooo good. It was hard not to stare. As he stood up by the priest, the wedding party slowly started to come down the aisle but Harry's gaze attached to mine and I didn't want to break it apart. He gave me a half smile, shaking his head no. I returned with a sad smile, shaking my head yes. You can do it Harry, you have to do it. Not just for you, or for me, for us. I felt my arm get touched and I looked up into blue eyes, the blue eyes I loved, he smiled down at me, a cute toothy smile. He was happy. I can't mess that up for him. We stood up for Amy. She walked down the aisle in that dress, I saw Harry's eyebrows raise when she walked to him, and I couldn't help but giggle at the fact that he didn't like her dress. She walked down slowly and we returned to our seats as Harry and Amy joined hands.

Harry kept glancing at me, and Amy was starting to wonder why he wasn't looking at her this entire time. "Amy do you take Harry to be your lawfully wedded husband?" the pastor asked and she said an excited yes. "Harry, do you take Amy to be your lawfully wedded wife?" He asked and Harry's eyes connected with mine. I shook my head yes, his eyes brimmed with tears as he stared at me. I knew I had to break eye contact for him to speak, but a part of me wanted him to look at me forever, and never say yes to the wicked witch in front of him. I sighed, tears streaming from my eyes as I looked down to the ground. "Harry.." the pastor edged him on. I quickly tried to wipe my tears as I heard his shaky voice say a yes. I looked up to witness the painful kiss to seal the deal before they walked down the aisle together.
