Saviour (an Ashley Purdy Love Story)

Chapter 21

*TWO YEARS LATER*

I dozed off as the lady finished my hair. To be honest I had forgotten her name, I was way too frustrated to remember something like that.

"Okay sweetie, you're all ready!" she beamed as she finished pinning my hair up.

"Oh wow," I said as I looked in the mirror at my hair. It was pinned up in the back but then it fell down in curls over my right shoulder. "Thank you, it's amazing," I said as I turned towards the woman who smiled back at me. She left the room as Juliet Simms entered. We had stayed friends throughout the whole ordeal.

"K hun, this is gonna be awhile," she said as she took out all of her makeup.

"Oh my," I murmured.

She just smiled at me as she got to work.

"I'm so excited! This is going to be so amazing, and everything is so beautiful. Oh babe, you chose the right one, I swear. And it's such a beautiful day! Everything is so perfect," she kept gushing as she finished up my makeup.

"Okay, hurry up, time to put the dress on!" Juliet said as she held up my huge black and white dress with red roses on the one-shoulder strap.

I smiled at her calmly and stood up so she could help me into my wedding dress.

Yes, I was getting married.

To the love of my life.

To the one and only...

Ashley Purdy.

Shortly after Ashley and I had been apart for a year, he had run into me at the store. I was still in pain everyday from missing him, and I couldn't deny that I still loved him to death and wanted him forever.

He had started a casual conversation "how are you, what've you been doing?" kind of thing. I told him that Ricky and I were great, I was still working at the tattoo parlor but was going to college to be a veterinarian. He wished me luck and then we parted ways.

Until I went to the parking lot to find him standing next to my car.

"Emma, please listen to me," he sobbed. I rolled my eyes to make it look like I didn't care, but to be honest, this was everything I had dreamed of. All I wanted was him and it seemed that he wanted me as well. "Baby, please, just hear me out."

"I'm listening," I said lightly.

He took a deep breath to calm himself and continued. "I love you. I have always loved you and I always will. I don't want anyone else. I tried the whole relationship thing with other people and it doesn't work for me. You are the only person I want, and I need you. I miss you. I want to wake up next to you everymorning and fall asleep with you everynight. You are my other half. Nothing happened with Amy, and nothing has happened with any other girl since you left. All I can think about is you. You mean everything to me and I miss you so god damn much!"

We were both crying at this point. And I finally realized that it was true. Ashley was my other half and I was his. He had never meant to cheat on me, and he still wanted me, even after all of this time. In that moment, I forgot about Ricky and ran to Ashley. It was a long, beautiful kiss for all of the time wasted without him.

"You are my everything," I murmured to him as I pulled away.

And that was when he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him.

"But.. what about Ricky...?" I murmured.

"Baby, you can deal with that later. Just go with what your heart says now." And so I said yes.

Later that night I expained everything to Ricky who seemed hurt but he also admitted to me that he had been thinking of breaking up with me for a few months now, since I couldn't seem to get over Ashley.

"I'll always love you, Ricky, and I'll always be grateful for everything you've done for me, so thank you," I said as I moved all of my things out of his place, where they would be headed to Ashley's new apartment-- well, our new apartment.

As I walked down the aisle, I smiled at Ricky who was sitting in the front row.

After everything was said and all of the "I do's" and the kissing of the bride-- me-- and whatnot, we headed back down the aisle and to the car that was waiting for us and we headed off into the sunset, ready to start our new life together.
