I lay down in bed next to Alex. She rests her hand on my chest as I wrap one arm around her. We lay there in silence for what feels like the longest time.
"Can you even imagine what would have happened if you hadn't decided to fight for me?" She asks laughing a bit. "Things would be so different right now." She sighs tightening her grip on me.
"I might have ended up with Taylor and you maybe with the name that wont be spoken." I say laughing at that thought. Alex laughs but then quiets down. "Stop it." I tell her.
"Stop what?" She asks me.
"Whatever you're worrying about. Just stop."
"How do you know I'm worried?" She asks me. "You didn't even open your eyes."
"You think I need to see you with my eyes to know what's going on with you."
She doesn't say anything after that. She tries moving closer to me. I wrap my other arm around her. This is where I love to be. Anywhere with her. When I'm with her. I'm happy and I will never let anyone take my happiness away.
"What do you think life would be like for us if you didn't fight for me?" Alex asks breaking the silence. She doesn't look up at me and I don't even have to open my eyes to know she is going to start crying.
"I cant imagine my world without you. You are my world, my happiness, my sunshine and no one will take that away." I tell her. I feel her relax against my body.
I take a look in the mirror. My mom walks up behind me with my tie in her shaking hands. I turn around and let her put the tie on for me. She ties it very slowly. I dont say anything to her. I know this is killing her. She is giving her baby boy away.
"You look amazing." She sighs placing her hands on my shoulders. "I am so proud of my baby boy." She starts crying. I pull her into a hug, not wanting to let go.
"I love you too, mom." I whisper. She lets go and gently wipes the tears from her face. She hands me my jacket. I quickly slip it on and offer her my arm. She wraps her arm around mine and we walk out. Taylor and I decided on a backyard wedding. Whatever she wants, I give her. My mom and I walk down the aisle. I help my mom sit down and I walk to the altar. After everyone walks in, Taylor makes her way to the center of the aisle. She looks stunning. Xander puts his hand on my shoulder. I look back at him and then to Taylor and completely lose it. I clamp my hands down over my mouth. Taylor just laughs at me.
I take her from her dads grip and walk back to the priest. I smile the biggest grin at her.
Finally it's time for the vows. "Logan and Taylor have decided to write their own vows." He says to everyone. With my hand shaking, I reach into my pocket and pull out the vows I have written. I carefully unfold the paper and look right at my soon to be bride. I accidentally drop the paper. I quickly bend down and pick it back up.
"Sorry I'm a bit nervous." I say to everyone holding tightly to my paper. Everyone laughs. "Um okay. I remember when I thought I would never get married especially this young. Here I am marrying my best friend. I promise to love you no matter what comes our way. I promise to hold your hand and follow you wherever this life may lead us. But most of all I promise to love you fiercely through everything. I will never stop loving you." I say folding my paper and handing it to Xander.
Taylor pulls her paper out of her bra. "Sorry I had no where else to put it." She laughs fixing her dress. "Okay.." She trails off, her hands starting to shake."I vow to help you love life, to always hold you with tenderness and to have the patience that love demands, to speak when words are needed and to share the silence when they are not, to agree to disagree on red velvet cake and to live within the warmth of your heart."
