Escaped: Chapter 52

I stared at Liam, in shock.

Had I heard him correctly?

"Liam I..." I wasn't sure what to say. "I'm eighteen!" I squeaked.

"And I'm nineteen," he said quickly. "But I love you and I know it's selfish of me but I want you by my side for the rest of my life!"

His words sunk in, slowly.

He wanted me.

He wanted to be with me.

He loved me.

And suddenly, I was crying and kissing him and saying it over and over.

"Yes," I repeated. "Yes! Yes, Liam Payne, I will marry you!"

There was a loud groaning sound as Niall stretched out beside us.

He saw the tears in my eyes and blinked a few times.

"What'd I miss?"

-

The wedding was small and simple.

On a beach, with Eleanor and Perrie as my bridesmaids.

They were doing my hair and talking non-stop.

I was just staring at myself in the mirror. I could not believe this was happening.

The smile never left my face.

-

I stood in the small tent, my hands shaking.

I was so nervous.

Was this the right thing to do?

Should we wait?

What if something went wrong?

I heard the music start.

I took a deep breath and pulled the curtain back.

And I saw him.

Liam, with his back to me.

I felt myself taking strong, confident steps. I suddenly felt brave.

I looked around and saw Louis, Niall, Zayn, and Harry, on the left and Perrie and Eleanor on my right.

I left a seat beside them, for Gemma.

I wish she could've been there. I think she would've liked this, a lot.

As I approached him, Liam turned around. He froze when he saw me. Then, he broke into a grin.

He reached a hand out to me and I handed my simple purple and white bouquet to Eleanor.

"Okay?" Liam whispered to me.

I smiled and said, "Okay."
