How Did We Get This Far? (Dan and Phil Fanfiction)

Chapter 5

Lizzie/Eliza's POV (again)

The day of the wedding came, and I spent the whole morning doing my hair and makeup, before having to get on the train to leave for the North of England.

I turned the volume on my phone to the full, and blasted Fall Out Boy through my headphones. I watched the fields pass by and sat nervously in the back. I didn't know why I was so nervous. It wasn't my wedding. I had met Clara now, and she was lovely. So why was I so nervous? Maybe it was meeting Phil's Mum, the one who had kept us apart. Or not having my Mum with me for once. Dad and I had never been away together before.

When we arrived that afternoon we all piled in to the church. Phil soon walked down the isle and waited at the end, I caught eye contact with him and gave him a thumbs up. He smiled back, appreciatively.

Soon enough, Clara was walking down the isle with her bridesmaids behind her. As soon as we all saw them, we all gasped. They looked beautiful, especially Clara. I quickly glanced at Phil and saw his face. He was smiling and you could see how shocked he was that this beautiful, lovely lady was going to become his wife. He quickly glanced over at me again and I mouthed: "Score!" He tried to keep a straight face, but struggled.

Everything about that wedding was beautiful. Everything they said, everything they did and when they said the I do's and kissed, I cried. The love between the two of them was so strong, it was stunning to watch.

When we all bundled out the church to take the photographs, I sat on a large rock, observing everything. Phil and Clara were smiling and laughing and kissing. I had never seen Phil as happy as he was in that moment. The way he looked down at Clara was protective and loving. I heard the photographer "In my 7 years of this job, you are the first couple were I don't need to say anything like "smile" or "look this way" brilliant guys, thank you for making my job easy!" The photographer laughed and I sighed.

"It's amazing isn't it? How happy they both look." I looked over my left shoulder and saw Phil's best man standing behind me.

"Yeah, I've never seen him that way before." I said looking back at Phil and Clara.

"Neither have I. They're perfect for each other."

"It's weird, I only knew he was my half-brother a few months ago and before that he was my idol and now I'm here, seeing him happier than ever on his wedding day."

"Wait, your his half-sister?"

"Yeah, I'm guessing your his best friend considering your his best man and not his brother."

"Yeah, best friend! I'm Dan." We shook hands and he sat next to me on the rock and we observed the scene together.
