My High-school Love |Shawn Hunter x Reader|

18. I...

Deep breaths.

Slowly I walk down the aisle, one foot at a time, a knot of worry growing in my stomach with each move I make.

My eyes roam over my friends and soon-to-be husband.

I can do this

I affirm myself, I tell myself I can do this.

I can do this

Eight more steps. I plant a smile on my face.

I can do this

Four more, don't faint. My head spins.

I can do this

Take my place at the alter. Across from Garrett. Making eye contact with Shawn, I look away.

"We are gathered here today, in this holy ceremony, to join this man, and this woman, in holy matrimony."  Mr. Feeny begins, shooting a tight smile in my direction.  "Mr. McCoy, your vows?"

Garrett sighs before beginning "Y/n, since the first time I layed eyes on you, I knew it was love-"

"Lies" Shawn coughs behind him, making me furrow my eyebrows.

"-You are the most beautiful, and kindest woman I ever met. And I am the luckiest guy. And even though this wedding was practically last minute, I can't thank you enough for the honor of becoming your husband. " He continued

"Miss. Y/l/n"

I can do this

"Garrett- Uh, you... I" I look at Shawn and take a deep breath.

I can do this.

"I-" I shake my head, my mouth hanging open "I- I can't do this."

I turn around, running downstairs back to The Matthews apartment

Only stopping once I got to their couch, breathing heavily, tears threatening to fall.

"Y/n?" Topanga says quietly walking to me

"I don't love Garrett... I love Shawn... I have always loved Shawn"

I hardly noticed the other walk in.

"Y/n," Shawn says, quietly. Walking up behind Topanga

"Shawn..." I slowly stand up, standing face to face with him.

"Y/n, I love you... I never stopped loving you. I always wanted to spend the rest of my life with you. And I still do... Even though your wedding day isn't technically the best time to do this..." He laughs quietly, kneeling. "Y/n, I don't have a ring, but it isn't the ring that's important, it's weather we love eachother or not. And I know for a fact we love eachother so much. What I'm saying is-"

"Spit it out Shawn" I laugh

"Y/n Y/m/n Y/l/n, when the time is right, will you marry me?"

I nod silently, tears filling my eyes.

Shawn stands up, wrapping me in a hug.

"Garrett is leaving and I am happy!"  Cory says walking into the room "Wait- what's happening?"

"Hunter and Y/n are engaged" Maya says, smiling.

"What?! Yes!" Cory says

"Congrats Mr. Hunter. Miss. Y/l/n." 

"Thank you Mr. Feeny." I give the man a hug "Thank you for everything."

"Yeah, Thanks" Shawn says, smiling. "So, when do you want to get married?" 

I knew he was joking, and I decided joke with him. "Well... I mean, everyone's already here..." I say

"Are you serious?" 

"Well, I was kidding but if you really want too... I wouldn't be opposed..." 

"Hey Feeny,  up for another wedding?" Shawn asks, wrapping his arms around me.

"Is the bride going to go through with this one?"

"Yes sir." I laugh, putting my hands on Shawns forearms.

"Then absolutely" He smiles
