Cherry- H.S

Epilogue pt. 2

Today is the day... Today is the day I finally say I do despite the fact that I feel like I've already said it a million times in my head. I said yes to him a year ago this past week. It's been a year, and definitely one of the craziest of my entire life. I said yes to marrying him... I kept my house in Nevada, but I ended up moving to London with him. After doing so my album was released, and it charted for weeks...

After that was press release after press release. Magazines, photoshoots, SNL, and the late late show. All of which Harry came with me for whilst writing more of his own music. Both of us now have our own bands, our own lives, but all while sharing a life, and of course a manager.

Jeff set it up... My debut tour starts a few months after today. A tour I asked time and time again if Harry could come with me. If he could tour with me as in sing songs, and do shows with me... But Jeff, and Harry, Mitch, Sandy... All of them agreed that it wasn't fair to me, and I realized they were right. This is my album, this is my tour... I deserve that spotlight. But I can promise you every bit of money in the world in saying that I will in fact be touring with him at some point. I know it, and he does too.

Tours, and music aside today my life changes. Today I leave Darlene Summers behind and become Darlene Styles.... I say yes, I move into completely uncharted territory as of today which is insane. It's the good kind of insane.. The kind of crazy you'd invite into your life. I'd invite his crazy forever, and that's exactly what I'm doing... I just can't seem to get myself out of the bathroom right now... It's one of those moments where you know you're making the right choice, but you're still nervous as hell for it to play out.

"Darlene Summers get your ass out here." I hear Sandy from the other side of the door, and I take another deep breath, and look at myself in the mirror.

"You've got this.. You're fine, just... just go." I tell myself, and move away from the counter, walking out the door and into the bridal suite. There were a lot of places we thought about getting married, but the one he was set on as soon as I suggested it was Paris. He knows how much the city means to me, and he loves it here too... So we found a place... It's like a garden, and in the far distance you can see the eiffel tower. It's a perfectly sunny day today despite the fact that it was raining all morning.. I've heard rain on your wedding day is good luck though... right?

"What's going on? Do you have cold feet? I will sneak you out of this bitch like no ones fucking business, you just say the word." Sandy pulls me in and I laugh.

"No cold feet.. I'm just nervous.. I'm excited but.. But it's nerve racking."

"Well neither of us would know, but we're here for you." Sarah speaks out. I knew Sandy would be my maid of honor, there was no question.. I knew I wanted Sarah there as well, to be by my side.

"I know. I'm... I'm ready. What time is it?" I ask, and Sandy looks down.

"Ooh.. Time for you to put your dress on... Are you ready?" She asks, and I nod, starting to unbutton the white button down I wear. I start undoing it, and look at the dress bag, knowing I searched long and hard for that thing. I look at Sandy and Sarah as they undo their bag with the dress. I see their dresses... Sandy in a pastel blue and Sarah in a pastel pink, both of them looking beautiful. I had Sandy do my makeup, and I had a stylist come in to curl and fix my hair... They bring the dress out, and I strip myself completely down, and they bring me the dress, letting me step in, and feeling them zip it up, and fluff it out.
