My Little Rebel

Chapter Twenty-two: Beautiful

Alex's POV

I sat on the couch in my bedroom looking at the white wedding invitation that I held in my hand, the one that had my name and Aden's name sketched in fancy letters on it, the one that I wanted to change around so it said Taylor instead of Aden. I know I think about him a lot but I wanted him...I needed him, he had invaded my brain and my heart and he wouldn't leave. 

"Hello," I jumped and looked over at the door as Aden walked in and chuckled slightly. "You okay their Alex," he asked me as I nodded my head and looked at the invitation again. "Look...I know that...well I know that things are weird because we've already had a connection to each other but...that just means that when were married we know that...well we know each other a bit better rather then not at all," he said which was actually true. Since I had spent some time dating Aden...for a year to be in fact but I had known him since I was eight...we knew each other better then if we were marrying someone we just met and hardly knew. 

"I know it's just...hard you know," I admitted as he sighed and took a seat beside me on the couch. "I just...wanted time to get married I didn't realize I'd be tied down by the time I was twenty-one...I still need time for my career to take off and to go through my awkward phase and my party phase and my rebel phase," I said which made me smile for a minute and then let it drop.

"I think...you already went through your rebel phase," he said moving some of my hair and looking at my feather tattoo that was behind my ear. "Does your parent's even know about this," he asked me seriously as I shook my head looking at him slightly worried. "Well...I think it's kind of neat," he said as I nodded my head. "You go to a tattoo parlor to get that done," he asked me as I shook my head.

"No...one of my friends from university did it," I said as he nodded his head. "So...is there a reason why you're here," I asked him as he nodded his head. 

"Yes...your mother called my house and my cell and then my fathers office and my mothers phone and demanded that I come over here and spend some time with you before we get hitched," he said as I shook my head.

"But why we already know each other," I asked him as he shrugged his shoulders.

"I told them the same thing but they still insisted that I come over here and spend some time with you," he said as I nodded my head and sighed. "Look I know that your not thrilled to marry me and to be honest I'm a little scared to marry you cause you kind of scare me but I promise you that I'm going to take care of you, I'll be supportive and understanding and I'll trust the decisions you make and I'll always let you think for yourself...I promise I'll be good to you and for you," he said as I nodded my head.

"Thanks Aden," I said as he nodded his head. "And if I had to chose someone to marry...it would have been you anyways I'm just...worried and scared mostly," I admitted which was actually true again. If I hadn't of met Joe and I had to choose someone to marry it would have been Aden but now I so desperately wanted to be with Taylor and I wanted him to want me back. 

"Well good then...oh I have pictures of the house that we'll be living in," he said as he pulled out his phone and sat back on the couch as I sat with him and looked at his phone as he showed me our gigantic house that we would be living in once we tied the knot.

"You look so beautiful Alex," Lexie said as I smiled at her and nodded my head. "I know that everything is going to be tough but I promise that like in a year maybe less you'll like Aden more then you ever thought you would...maybe even love him...just give him a chance," she said as I arched my eyebrows and looked at her.

"And how much did my mom pay you to say that," I asked her as she giggled and shook her head.

"Nothing...she just asked me to give you some advice to calm your nerves," she said as I giggled and nodded my head.

"You look amazing in your brides maid dress," I said as she nodded and spun for me.

"I know right...but I'm not taking anything away from you on your special day...you still look the best," she said as I laughed slightly and watched as Adam walked in.

"Absolutely...your definitely the best dressed here today," he agreed as I shook my head. "Nothing compare to you baby," I heard him whisper to Lexie as I shook my head.

"I can hear you," I said in a singsong voice as Adam chuckled nervously and scratched the back of his head as I looked away from the mirror again and looked at him. 

"Right...well I'm gonna go but it's time," he said as I nodded my head and watched as Lexie and Adam walked out. I took in a shaky breath and then smiled as my father walked in and over to me.

"How are you doing pumpkin," he said to me as I giggled loving that he used my nickname from when I was little. 

"I'm a little nervous," I told him as he nodded his head.

"I know but...your getting married today and you look so beautiful in your dress," he said as I nodded my head. "Now come on and go marry Aden and when that's all over...we'll talk about your feather tattoo," he said as I gulped and looked at him. "You didn't hid it very well Alex...just make sure your mother never sees it," he told me as I nodded my head.

"Can you just...give me a minute," I asked him as he arched his eyebrows. "Just a minute to get my thoughts in check and my nervous calmed down a bit," I asked as he nodded his head. He leaned in and kissed my forehead softly before walking out of the room closing the door behind him, I took in a deep breath and ran my hands along my dress feeling the silk and trying to calm myself down. I closed my eyes and tried to push past all my thought and push it as far back in my head as possible before I opened my eyes and jumped as I heard a crash coming from behind me. I looked up to see the window open before I slowly walked over to where the room divider sat, I made it about half way before I stopped as Taylor walked around it and looked at me.
