When in exile

Christmas bells (elizabeth)

Logan and I had gone out more and were actually dating, not that anyone besides us actually knew, we hadn't told anyone... I woke up in his arms as looked at the clock "logan... logan wake up!" I whispered and he just rolled over ignoring me "wake up!" I said shaking him "ugh, 5 more minutes" he says covering his head with a pillow, which I rip off and throw the sheets off of him to make him wake up "elizabeth!" he pouts and then pulls me into his chest to protest "logan!" I mock trying to get out. "You need to wake up" I say hitting him with a pillow which doesn't work that well because he just cuts me off at the knees "seriously you need to get up." I say "since your so persistent I guess I will" he says getting up "good" I said kissing his cheek and then going to my closet to get an outfit which was boots skinny jeans and a black flowy top and some colorful jewelry. he walked out in his mounties uniform, and he looked good "don't tell my boyfriend but I have this thing for men in uniform" I say " don't tell my girlfriend but I have this thing for girls with red hair and from America" he says kissing me, he was actually a really affectionate boyfriend, not that he wasn't still arrogant, egotistical, not that I would have it any other way. "I know you have the wedding on Christmas day but can you come over afterwards?" he asked "yeah after the wedding I can come" I said "good because I really want to meet you under some misteltoe" he says smirking "and what about all the witnesses?" I asked " why don't we just be ourselves in front of them, show the us, because quiet frankly its driving me insane not being able to kiss you in public" he says with his temper raising... this was how some of our fights had started so I did one of the only things that would calm him down "lets try it, besides Christmas eve is tonight and we only have to wait another day and I suppose you can handle that?" I say wrapping my arms around his neck "I suppose I can" he says bringing me closer kissing me. "oh shoot, I have to go" he says seeing the clock kissing me good bye and leaving I also had to go so I grab some earl grey tea like my grandmother used to make. I got a call from a strange number, I probably shouldn't of but I answered it

I'm in England because I got disowned ok that's why I cant come home

merry christmas

I hung up and let a deep breath out, why were my siblings trying to contact me... oh well business mode now Elizabeth... I walked through the door "good morning Brandy" "good morning Elizabeth" she says cheery. the day stretches by and is quickly over and I get to go home, had been invited to the wilcox's but I decided that I needed to sleep for the long and stress full day ahead of me although when Logan climbs into my bed at 2 am it doesn't really help "merry Christmas" he whispers into my ear and I whisper it back half asleep I only had 5 more hours to sleep and I was determined to sleep for everyminute I could. but sleep wasn't on his mind... "Logan your drunk" I said after his fifth attempt to kiss me "no I'm not" he says slurring his words "yes you are,and I have to get up in a couple of hours and I would like to sleep until then" I say putting pillows inbetween us "fine then" he says acting like a little kid pouting, I wake up acouple hours later sneaking out of bed trying not to wake him up but of course even if I drop a hair brush he wakes up "beth why are there all these pillows here?" he asks confused "I told you, you were drunk.... the pillows are there because you were drunk and you were deffinity not thinking of sleep." say putting my makeup on and he groans "I'm sorry" he says yawning "go back to sleep ill see you later" I say which brings a slight smile to his face as he takes the pill I set out for him "I cant wait, I can actually act like I like you for once" he says before drifting back to sleep I throw a dress on because most of the wedding had been set up yesterday which I was very happy about. I catch I glance of him in the mirror he was so cute when he was asleep, looking so peaceful and calm and not someone that arrested people. he brings a smile to my face for no reason and I cant help but smile at him now, I put my grandmothers ring on and kid his cheek and walk out the door. the wedding went smoothly only with slight snow falling and I had more ice put out and carpets put out for people to wipe their feet. it was a good day considering what I had went through to get it accomplished. I was happy seeing the last chair put away and no one but the regular employees left in the reception hall, it meant I could leave and go to Logan. I happily got into my car and drove to Glorias house where she greeted me with open arms I hugged everyone except for Logan which we kissed letting everyones jaws drop and not explaining a thing. "what just happened?" Brandy asks confused "someone pinch me this cant be real" Stacy the youngest Wilcox says and nick the oldest son pinches her and they start fighting. they all look like they want to say somghing but not sure what, it was probably utter shock. "oh my God is that a ring!" Brandy yells and our eyes go wide and I look at my hand "oh no, brandy this is just the ring I wear to weddings" I said slipping it off and onto its chain around my neck "oh, ok I thought I was going to have a heart attack" she says leaning back onto James "so is there anything you two would like to say?" gloria asks "no" we say at the same time and then laugh and kiss again still freaking them out "so now that we've established this is real life, what the hell just happened?" James asked and we both laughed "when did this even happen?" he continued "hey brandy remember when I got really mad at him" I said "yeah" "well he came by the shop the next day after the wedding" I said and they were still confused... let them be confused and assume things because I can honestly say I don't care. Things were looking up for logan and I, I even thought maybe this could be my fairytale ending.... that's when I should of stopped thinking....

I realized I didn't want to have this perfect happy little ending, because then my life would be boing and I don't want that, right before my eyes I had destroyed my perfect relationship... by the thing is I don't want perfect anymore.
