Wishing I was 23

This Is It

*4 years later*

Rachel's POV

"What if she says no? What if she changed her mind? I mean what if - Rachel stop!", Sarah cuts me off while grabbing my hands.

I was pacing around the room, worrying Lauren wouldn't want to marry me. We are currently in the changing room in a church near Lauren's parents house in Maimi. It's the 4th of April, our wedding day.

Yes, it's today and I'm freaking out. Before we get to that, let's just rewind for a bit. After my surgery 4 years ago, I went through 2 years of physiotherapy and a lot, I mean a lot of physical training for my legs.

So yeah, the good news about the recovery was that no damage was caused to my brain but I did lose my left leg and right arm which was replaced by robotic ones. It was expensive but we managed for myself.

The twins turned 3 a few months ago and they've grown beautifully. Lauren's parents help buy Dawn a hearing aid and pay for her sign language classes. Other than that, oh yeah, the tour for fifth harmony.

Right so, the band took a hiatus as planned but there was a lot of drama after that. Camila was out of the picture until Normani got to see her again on the BBMAs.

Lauren toured with Halsey for a few months while Dinah stayed in the studio with Rocky to help both of their careers. Ally is engaged with Ryland now and so Riker. He found his match when R5 broke up a few years ago when they were celebrating their break.

Oh and Alessia and Sarah couldn't be happier with each other and Clarity is dating Alessia brother, Dante. It was awkward at first but we all approve of it and ended up being happy with each other.

To sum it all up, everyone is happy with their lives and relationships. Back to now, I'm panicking but Sarah, Soda, Lucas and my brothers are trying their best to keep me calm.

"Listen, Blach, we've all been waiting for this moment. You've been waiting for this moment to happen. She's not going to walk away from this. Look, I'll call her now", Sarah dialled Lauren's number and Faith answers it.

"Hey yeah, Faith, we need talk to Lauren for a bit. Yes, she's nervous too. Thinking all sorts of crazy things", Sarah said in the phone. I turn to my side and saw Rocky trying to tie Ryse's tie but Riker cut in and fixed it. I laugh a little at that moment and calmed down a little.

"Here take this and talk to her," Sarah tossed me her phone and I put it to my ear. "Hello? Babe?", I asked.

"Hey Rachel, Faith told me that you're having jitters. You're not backing up are you?", she asked. "No, no, no. I just thought you were going to", I said honestly.

She giggles on the other line which made me calm. "Babe, I love you so much and we've been waiting for this for a long time. You're finally legal to drink so we're doing this, okay? There's no need to have cold feet", Lauren joked and I laughed.

"You okay now?", she asked and I hummed. "Good, I love you. Remember that", she reminded me. "I love you too, babe", I smiled and said see you soon. I hung up the phone and let out a breath of relief.

"You all good now?", Sarah asked as I passed back her phone. "Yes and thank you", she smiled and fixed my tie. After a few more minutes, my dad came in the room to say its time.

Sarah, Ryland and Ryse all went out first before my brothers and Lucas as they are my best guys and girl while I'm sure, Alessia, Faith, Camila, Taylor and the rest of Fifth Harmony with some of Lauren's friends followed the guys and Sarah along as the song played.

My dad and I hooked arms and I was getting even more nervous than I was before because I am going to marry the love of my life in front of everyone I know.
