Something Great (Narry)

Epilogue

5 Years Later

I look in the mirror and take what seems to be my millionth deep breath today. I rub my hands down my face and did I miss a spot while shaving? I should probably check that out. How much time do I have?

And where is Louis? He went to go talk to Niall hours ago. Well, it was only 15 minutes ago now when he told me he'd be right back but it feels like decades ago.

I straighten my tie again and then loosen it because the tie is strangling me and I need to breathe. I try to exhale all of the butterflies out of my stomach but it's not working. I adjust my tie again so it looks neat and in place.

These kind of nerves are something I've never experienced before. I feel jittery and like I just need to get this over with now. But I feel giddy and excited like I want to savor every moment.

There's a gentle tapping at my door and if it isn't Louis I'm prepared to demote him from being my best man. I know Niall wanted him as his best man but Niall's got other best friends. He's got Ashton as his best man and why does he need mine with him right now? He already has every single groomsmen in his room.

"Come in," I announce.

The door slowly slides open and I see my mum and Gemma cover their mouths with excitement.

"You look so handsome," my mum gushes, her eyes tearing up.

"Please don't cry mum," I beg. I know they're happy tears but that last thing I want is to make her cry.

"Are you nervous?" Gemma asks.

I shoot her a look and she backs off, knowing exactly how nervous I am right now.

In just a matter of minutes I'll be walking down the aisle to marry the love of my life. The fluttery feeling in the pit of my stomach is indescribable. I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life with Niall since we started dating, over 5 years ago.

"If I've been wanting to do this for so long, why do I feel so terrified," I think aloud, forgetting my mum and my sister are in the room.

"It's perfectly normal to feel this way. Niall's perfect for you. Just remember that," my mum soothes before gently kissing my forehead.

There's a soft tapping at the door and Louis pokes his head in.

"It's about time you got here!" I exclaim.

"Sorry," Louis raises his arms in defense, "we had a er, wardrobe malfunction."

I make a face, all the possibilities of what could have happened flooding my mind.

"We better get going," Gemma motions towards the door, "see you out there kiddo."

As my mum and sister walk out the door, Michael walks in and I'm relieved to have more of the groomsmen with me.

"How's everything going?" Michael asks, snaking his arm around Louis' waist and holding him close.

Louis turns and kisses the side of his head gently.

I smile at the unlikely couple. I think back to my attempt at stopping their relationship. And somehow nothing, not even Louis moving to LA, could keep the two apart. I suppose when two people are meant to be together, no obstacles can get in their way.

I think about all the obstacles Niall and I have overcome. If nothing could stop us from being with one another, we must be made for each other.

"Things are good," I admit, a relieved grin spreads across my face.
