Today is the day. Words can't describe how nervous and excited I am to get married. I am now starting to realise that within a few hours I will officially be Elena Lombardi. Levi and all the others guys stayed in the mansion while I went to my parents house to get ready for the big day. I was getting ready and had all my hair and makeup done and the final thing I had to do was get into the dress. I had decided to wear my mothers dress she wore when she got married.

After I had finished getting dressed I walked out of my room and saw my mum and my bridesmaids all standing there looking at me. I starting tearing up as my mother came up to me.

"You look gorgeous," she says hugging me.

"Well let's not keep the men waiting shall we?"

We all walk out to the car as the driver takes us to where we are getting married. I told Levi that I didn't want to get married in a church so we decided on a cute little park area that will be covered in decorations. As we got to the destination, we stopped around the corner to wait before I walked the aisle.

Levi's POV
I still can't believe that I will be getting married to this beautiful girl who I'm ready to spend the rest of my life with. I also can't believe that in about 9 months I'm going to be a father. All the guys stayed with me in the mansion as we all got into matching suits for the wedding. I made them all my groomsmen as they are like brothers to me and there isn't anyone id rather spend my time with.

I have also planned this amazing honeymoon for Elena and I. She has always talked about how she wants to explore Europe and more importantly visit Paris. So I made sure it would be the best time of her life. I planned it down to the very last minute to ensure it would be perfect.

We guys arrive at the park early to ensure enough time to get there and be prepared before all the ladies show up. We ran through a couple last things before I got confirmation that the ladies were here. The guys and I all got into our places as the bridesmaids all took their spot before the music started playing.

I saw my beautiful Elena turn the corner as she then started walking down the aisle. I saw her wearing a beautiful dress that I can't wait to rip off of her tonight. I looked her up and down before meeting with her eyes and seeing her blushing. As she got up to where I was I learned over and whispered into he ear.

"I can't wait to rip that dress of you tonight."

I look up go see her eyes wide and her face now a deeper red. We take our spots as the priest starts the ceremony. It was soon the part where we had to say our vows.

"Elena Elizabeth Atkins, the very first day I laid eyes on you, I knew I was the luckiest man even if you were trying to run away from me," the crowd awkwardly giggles at bit. "However, once I finally had you to myself I realised how truly amazing you are. Even thought we have been through some VERY rough things at the end of the day I still love you no matter what." I finish

"Levi Jacob Lombardi, the very first time I saw you was when my father made a terrible bet and lost. As I ran away in that alleyway, I was petrified of you and little did I know we would be getting married but here we are. I'll keep it short and sweet, but I'm glad my father sold me too you, because I love yo-" She was about to finish her vows before a bang noise went off in the perk.

I looked around and saw someone I never thought I would see. James' brother, Leo. I looked down at Elena to make sure she was ok but instead I saw a batch of red on her beautiful dress. Reality came crashing in as I realised she was the one that got shot. She fell to the ground but I caught her and laid her down softly gripping her hand.

"Elena, stay with me ok? It's gonna be okay." I tell her.

She doesn't respond and I start to see her eyes close.

"Someone hurry up and call an ambulance." I yell in frustration.

I frantically look around to try and find Leo but he is no where to be seen. He must of ran away as soon as he fired the shot. He will pay for what he did.

Elena's POV

I heard a loud bang before I started feeling warm liquid poor onto my stomach. My knees buckle out from under me in shock but Levi catches me and places me down on the floor. He says something to me but it is just a blur as memories start flashing back into my head.

The time when I was a little girl playing outside with my brother James. Then again, as I was running away from Levi but then moves onto the first time we kissed. As it flashes through all the memories, it gets darker and darker. The darkness feels a bit cold but it does not seem that bad, but before anything I manage to blurt out a few words,

"I love you Levi." Is all I manage to say before I welcome the dark coldness into my body.
