Run Away Forever

Chapter Seventeen

Riley

It was my wedding day.

I had woken up early alone in our bed, I hated sleeping without Liam next to me. But we thought that we would follow some wedding traditions because we had broken a few already. I couldn't wait to be his wife. It had felt like I had been with him forever and that I had been waiting for this day.

Liam stayed at his parent's house last night with Jack, I missed them both so much. Liam's mother and Olivia stayed over at ours along with Liam's sister. These girls were my best friends even though, one of them was my future mother in law, the other my sister in law. 

The only sad about today was the fact that my mother wasn't here. I missed her dearly but the way she had treated me had broken me, I didn't know how she could ever act that way to me.

Otherwise I was perfectly happy. I was so excited for today, I was ready to be Liam's wife.

"Sweetheart, it's time to put on your dress," Ellie smiled at me with my beautiful dress in her hands.

All three girls helped me pull on the dress, I was so glad that my stomach hadn't grown significantly since I had first tried on the dress. The dress easily slipped over my large belly holding my little baby inside. In three weeks she would be born and I couldn't wait.

"Wow," I gasped. I looked so beautiful, if I do say so myself. My hair was pulled back slightly but most it hung down my back. I wore a tiara that would hold my veil in place when I put it on later in the day.

"Here," Ellie handed me a pale blue garter. "I want you to have this, it was mine when I married Alex."

I felt tears leak out of my eyes. "Thank you so much Ellie," I hugged her tightly to me. "Thank you."

I slipped on the garter. "Liam's going to love tearing that off you later tonight," Lucy commented with a smirk on her face.

"Lucy!" Ellie scolded.

"What Mum, it's true. Tom tore it off with his teeth the night of our wedding."

"Lucy!" both Olivia and Ellie demanded this time. I giggled in response. I love Lucy's personality, she seemed so free.

"Personally," Olivia spoke up. "I don't want to hear about what my son does to you at night."

"I agree," Ellie nodded.

"It's not always at night," Lucy replied.

"Just shut up," Ellie commanded getting angry with Lucy.

Lucy was silent for a moment before speaking up again. "Don't you remember your wedding night Mum?"

"Of course I do, I ravaged your father that night, and we hardly got a wink of sleep."

"Eww! Mum! I don't want to hear that ever again," Lucy complained.

"Good, then you know how I don't want to hear about you and Tom."

"Fine," Lucy agreed with a smile on her face.

An hour later I was climbing into the car which was taking me to 'Beach House'. Both Liam and I had agree to have our wedding at 'Beach House'. They had a huge room that was rented out for weddings which Liam and I decided to use. Olivia had done an amazing job of decorating it the last few days.

I had decided on having Freddy walking me down the aisle. He had always been there for me do I thought it fitting that he would be the one to give me away. I loved him like a brother anyway, so what did it matter.
