Just Can't Let Her Go

Chapter 39

Alicia and Harry watched a movie and cuddled. Things were getting better, everything was turning up for their family.

Now here Alicia sat in the bathroom of a lake house. White dress crumpled all around her. She wasn't crying, more like hyperventilating and rocking back in forth. Blonde hair long now, messily curled like glowing and radiant when out in the sun, that was preparing to set over the lake and the dock. The dock in which she was supposed to be getting married on. Everyone was waiting.

Alicia knew she looked beautiful but that didn't make her any less of an anxious mess. her skin creamy and dolled up with a natural layer of make up. She pulled a strand of hair away from her sticky thin pink lip gloss. Her dress was long and elegant, but not when she was on the floor like this. Her dad wasn't there none of her actually family was. There has been so many pictures and it was time and she knew she needed this. She needed Harry.

Alicia stood up and straightened out her dress. She looked in the mirror, straightened her flower head piece and opened the door. Breathlessly she gave a nod to the director and the music began to play. "There's no backing out now..." She murmured to her as the bridesmaids got in place. "Go."

The door opened and all the little chatter that had been previously occurring stopped. But Alicia never so much as glanced, she had her eyes dead set on Harry. Who was down at the front, staring right back at her. Her body tensed, but she pulled her lip between her pearly white teeth. She walked down the stairs and to the front, gracefully...softly. She met him finally and even though there were many an onlooker it felt like they were in their own little bubble. The music stopped as Harry pulled her in by her hands. He could see the look of panic and anxiety on her face, and he leaned in a bit closer to soothe her. "Baby, don't look so nervous." He told her and she gave him a weak smile. "I've never seen someone look as beautiful. I almost fainted when you came out." He added with a quiet chuckle, before the minister spoke and drew his attention away for a moment. But then he continued to stare at Alicia.

They made it all the way to the vows before Alicia teared up. Harry hadn't said a word yet but he pulled out a small scrap of paper from his black tux pocket.
