I Hear the Bells

*Paige's POV*

Today was the day.

I was going to get married. 

I barely woke up this morning, September 6th. My wedding day. I was going to get married today. I was getting married to the man of my dreams. Justin. Butterfly's settled in the pit of my stomach. I threw back my blankets and sat up. Today was my last day as Paige Stone. In a couple hours i will be Mrs. Paige Watt. I would be legally tied to him and he to me. My future was as bright as ever. No dark clouds right now. Especially not today. Today was the day i get married. I looked at Justin's side of the bed, to see a white rose and a note. Smiling, I picked it up. 

Paige, 

I left soon after you fell asleep. It's bad luck to see the bride before the wedding you know? I just wanted you to wake up with a smile on your face today, on our wedding day. I cannot wait to be married to you. Then I get to love you as we grow old, have kids and be happy together forever. I'm going to be here forever and always. I will always be there to protect you, love you and care for you, and I hope you know that. I love you so much and I can not wait to see you walking down the isle, all dressed in white and looking as beautiful as ever, because after that breathtaking sight, you''ll be my wife and no one will be able to take you from me. 

Always and forever yours, 

Justin Watt 

I sat up, my giggles bubbling up. My heart swelled as I set the note and flower on my beside table. Just another reason why I loved my man. He was so perfect for me. I made my bed, humming to myself as I did so. Then I got in the shower. I couldn't stop smiling the entire time. I mean, why wouldn't I nit be smiling? Things were perfect. Today was my wedding day. I was overjoyed. When I got out, I wrapped my hair in a towel and threw on a towel. I wiped my mirror down and took put my hair stuff. The girls and Connie were coming over to help me get ready. Connie was bringing my dress too.

Speaking of the devil, there was a knock on my door. I went to answer it, only to be engulfed in a bunch of squeals and giggles. Some of the girls from the Squad were here, each of them holding their dresses. Connie came in last, holding two dress bags in her hands. I couldn't help but squeal in excitement. This was truly happening. I was getting married.

A couple hours later, I was fully dressed, my hair was curled and pinned up so there were curls down my back, my make up was done by Justin's mom and looked perfect. I looked perfect. The other girls ooed and ahhed as we walked to the limo. Connie got in first and one of the other girls helped me fit all of my dress inside before they all got in. I was silent as we drove to the church. 

It was a good silence. I was so giddy and happy. My thoughts kept turning to J.J. and I hoped he was dealing with the nerves. I was so nervous. Not because I was regretting marrying him, it was anything but that, but because this is the BIG day. Whose not going to be nervous. 

Connie gave me a reassuring smile as the limo pulled to a stop. The bridesmaids got out first, followed by Connie who then turned and helped me out of the car. Together we readjusted my dress and viel before we walked up to the church. I grabbed Connie's hand as we walked and she just shook her head, a small giggle escaping her lips. 

When I entered the church, J.J.'s dad was waiting for us. The bridesmaids were already down the hall, pairing up with the groomsmen. He gave me a smile and I couldn't help but return it. 

"So, we were wondering if you'd do us the honor of letting us walking you down the isle?" Connie asked, looking between me and her husband. The grin that stretched my face nearly tore it off. I hadn't invited my foster family because well, I knew they wouldn't respond. I hadn't talked to them in forever and if they'd heard about what happened they would have contacted me. 

"I'd love it!" I said, laughing as Connie pulled me into a tight hug. I wrapped my arms around my soon to be in law. Soon she pulled away, tears in her eyes. 

"Oh, gosh! It hasn't even started and I'm already crying," she whimpered. Her husband took her in his arms and hugged her. He kissed the top of her head. 

"Stop crying hun. We're going to marry our son to a wonderful, strong woman and they're going to have adorable grandchildren," John said, lovingly but sternly. I found myself blushing at the mention of children. It was just a bit too soon for that, right? Connie's head snapped up and her face lit up. 

"Grandbabies?" she asked, hopefully. Her husband and I couldn't help but laugh together. The bells of the church went off for a moment before it was followed by the tell tale sound of the bride's march. 

Show time!
