Dusk Till Dawn (A Liam and Ally Story)

Chapter 74

We sit down for dinner. At the table, Liam's and my parents are seated with our siblings, except Kris. I have a feeling that he doesn't like me very much. The looks that he gives me. He skips out on the family dinner. But it's alright. I can't impress everyone.

Everyone is having their fun and chatting the evening away. Camila and Zayn stand up from their seats, holding their glasses of champagne. "Attention!" Zayn announces. The chatter decreases, and everyone shifts their eyes on those two. "We would like to make a toast. Thank you guys for coming to the wedding to join Ally and Liam express their love and gratitude for one another."

"We all know since the beginning that Ally and Liam are endgame because of their compassion and empathy towards one another," Camila begins. "I met Ally since my freshman year in college. The very first week of college, I was reading in the library because my roommate was snoring - she was sleeping in the middle of the day - and I couldn't get any focus. I was a little bit tease because I spent my time indoors instead of out. Anyways, I was done reading, but rain came crashing down. I couldn't walk back to my dorm. If I did, I would've fail my first test. I was standing out the door, watching the rain ruin my dreams, when Ally came up to me and offered to take me back to the dorm since she had a car. Since then, Ally and I have become friends, and we grew so close to the point where I am proud to call her my sister." My eyes overflow with water as I smile at her. Joy and love fill my heart. "It's a day that I will never forget. I am so happy you got to meet the love of your life, and I am so happy that it turned to be Liam. I know you both will strive together as one."

Liam sets his hands on my shoulder, massaging them gently to relax me.

"Liam has been one of my best friends since we were in grade school," Zayn speaks. "We've known each other all of our lives. He has seen my ups and downs. He's my longest friend that I've kept in contact because he's one of a kind. I'm grateful that he got to be with Ally because those two complete each other in ways that I can't even explain. I've been there since the beginning of their relationship, and I will be there through the rest. I love you, man."

"Love you too, bro," Liam replies.

We all applaud their speeches. I turn to Liam and smile. He brings his hands up my cheeks and wipes my tears. My cheeks grow red, hearing the guests awe at us. I bat my eyes and let out a soft smile.

In a few minutes, the cake is pass out and the music is played on, cuing that it is time to dance. We roll out of our seats. Normani and Lauren got up on stage and announce in the mic. "Hello, everyone. It is time for the father-daughter dance and then the mother-son dance."

Geoff takes my hand and leads me to the dance floor. We sway together in sync. "You know, Ally, I always consider you as part as the family. Since the moment we met, I always have this feeling that you were like a daughter to me, and now, you are part of the family."

"Thanks, Geoff," I smile.

"Call me dad," he said, grinning.

I nod before looking over and seeing Liam and my mom joining us. I wave my hand a little since my hand was held in my dad-in-law's hand.

He spins me around and hands my hand to my father's. My father and I moved our feet in the same steps. "You already know how proud I am," he begins. "This is the beginning of your future. And even though you are going to start your own family, you are always going to be my baby."
