Bab 15: Epilogue
*three years later*
"I'm nervous," Harry admitted to his mum. He was getting married to Louis, and he was just about to walk down the aisle.
Harry looked down at what he was wearing. A black suit whose top part was buttoned down to reveal his chest, a pair of sunglasses, a decorative scarf and his signature Chelsea boots. Not too fancy but not too casual.
His curls were styled down and covered by a nice black hat. During the past three years, he's trimmed his hair just a little bit so that his curls barely touched his shoulders. His hair was still longer than most men, though.
"Relax, it'll be fine," Anne tried to calm her soon-to-be-married son down. "As long as you love him, there's nothing to be afraid of."
Harry sighed. He knew that his mum was right. And he did love Louis. Very much. He was just afraid of commitment.
He didn't want Louis to leave him, something he's been afraid of since they started their relationship again three years ago. He didn't want him to leave like the first time almost ten years ago.
But if Louis were to leave a second time, then he would've never proposed. He would've never spent hours planning the perfect wedding with the help of Liam and Zayn, who are a happily married couple since two years ago, and Niall, who is happily engaged to this girl named Olivia since one year ago.
So Harry wasn't sure if he was ready to commit in the long run. He wasn't sure if he'd be ready to tolerate heartbreak if Louis were to give him any. He didn't want to experience what his mum did. He didn't want to have his child comfort him most of the time.
But then again, Anne moved on and married someone else (as she should). Harry felt like he would never recover and move on if Louis broke his heart again.
Harry promised to himself to not make the stupid mistake of getting himself raped again. He didn't want to feel the pain again and spend a lot of time going to therapy over it. And he most certainly didn't want to do it without Louis beside him.
It wasn't Louis's fault that he left Harry without knowing the full story. Yes, he should've listened, but at the same time Harry didn't want to explain either.
In fact, if he learned something during his time in therapy, it was Nick's fault. He should've known how to control himself a lot better while drunk so that this situation wouldn't have happened in the first place. Harry has been drunk before but he's never done that.
Eventually, Harry decided that if he kept reflecting over his commitment issues and his first breakup he would miss the wedding. So he got over himself and walked out.
Another reason he was nervous was because of the crowd there. A lot of people have been invited, including family, friends, coworkers and guests from those people. Yes, they invited from both sides, Louis's and Harry's.
Nevertheless, Harry kept his eyes at the altar where the real deal was happening. Louis was there with his navy blue suit with a white shirt underneath and his own sunglasses. His hair was styled into a quiff.
It was an outdoors wedding. It was located at the exact same skateboard park that Louis and Harry had their first date in, which was now remodeled into a regular and normal park.
Along with Louis were Liam and Zayn, who were the best men. They had some nice black tuxes and Zayn's hair was in a quiff while Liam's hair was cut really short.
There was also Gemma and Lottie, who were bridesmaids. They were both wearing nice flowery dresses with high heels. Their hair was curled and made to the side.
Fizzy was the flower girl. She was dressed exactly like Gemma and Lottie, but she looked more badass while Gemma and Lottie looked like "proper women."
And of course, Niall was the priest. Apparently, he had gone online once because he was bored and accidentally took a test to be eligible to become a priest. So of course, Louis and Harry decided that Niall was fit to be priest for their wedding.
Of course, it was because Niall was their friend and had the right requirements to do so, but mainly because Niall wanted to do it so bad and you could see the excitement on his face when he found out he would be able to do it.
Niall was wearing a black tux like Liam and Zayn, but Niall had his hair personally re-dyed back to its natural color. Surprisingly, Niall was naturally brunette but preferred to bleach his hair blonde. However, he felt that his natural brunette hair fit the wedding theme more.
Harry made it to the altar and the wedding began.
"We are gathered here today to witness the joining together of Harry Edward Styles and Louis William Tomlinson," Niall spoke.
Harry could already feel everyone's stares engraved into his brain as they watched him and Louis get married. In other words, he was nervous as fuck.
Louis was also feeling nervous. Three years ago, he never thought that he would be seeing Harry again. Now he was getting married to him. The same boy whom he dated in high school but broke up with him because he thought the boy cheated on him but was actually forced to.
Louis had apologized a lot to Harry during their three-year relationship, mainly because he truly meant it and he felt guilty for not listening to Harry. Maybe they would've gotten married sooner if they would've never broken up. They could even be having kids right now. He wasted seven years of his life when he could've been happy with Harry if he could've just listened.
Of course, Harry had always forgiven him. Louis knew because, personally, Harry believed that it was all Nick's fault. And it was. Nick was partly at fault because he couldn't control himself while drunk. But Louis should've listened and let Harry explain himself.
The two boys shifted their attention back to Niall.
"Any objections to this marriage?" Niall said through gritted teeth. It was him who has shipped Harry and Louis together the most. Anyone who hated on their relationship was basically doomed to suffer the wrath of Niall Horan.
Thankfully, the room was so silent you could hear a pin drop. Nobody had to suffer or be tortured tonight.
"Great. If there are no objections, then we shall proceed."
It was time for the vows. Both of the boys have written their vows with the help of Niall, Liam and Zayn.
Louis went first.
"Harry, when I first met you, I already knew that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you. I felt extremely attracted to you. And this was different because I've felt attractions to girls before, but the way I felt about you was love. My sisters just confirmed it. And of course, as my sisters, they were deeply upset that I was the one who fell for you and not them." The whole room burst into laughter, and Lottie and Fizzy turned bright red behind Louis. "And so, I took you out on dates and cuddled with you and even did the unspeakable with you once." He could sense his mum scowling at him for saying that in front of the younger twins who were toddlers. "But when you did it with someone else, I was hurt. I felt like a part of me was ripped out of my chest and nothing would make me feel better. But then one night, when Liam and Zayn got engaged and they wanted me to meet some of Liam's friends, I saw you again and the feelings came back. I couldn't explain it, but I came to the conclusion that I wanted you back. Then I found out that you didn't do it with someone else voluntarily. You were forced. But I won't talk about that in front of Ernest and Doris. Either way, I felt bad for you because I broke up with you and left you alone to deal with that nightmare. So I decided that we would get back together that night after seven years. And these past three years were the best three years of my life. I want to make more memories like we did during the past three years, Harry, and I'd like to do them as a married couple. I love you, Harry, and I promise to spend the rest of my life with you no matter what."
Everybody in the room was crying, including Harry. Then Harry gave his vow.
"Louis, when I first met you, I felt like you were the one. I was being my usual clumsy self and accidentally bumped into you. I was embarrassed to say the least, especially because I had bumped into a really cute boy on my very first day." The crowd laughed again through their spilled tears from Louis's bow. Harry continued. "You invited me over to your house and we played video games. Poor Zayn, though, he was the third wheel." The crowd was laughing again while Zayn turned red. "So after that, my mum asked me if I felt anything to you. I said yes. Gemma then took me to her room and proceeded to talk to me about love and all I needed to know about that. She was an expert at that, which is why Ashton is lucky to have her." A guy in the audience that seemed to be Ashton coughed. It was Gemma's turn to blush madly. "After that I realized that all of what Gemma told me was coming true - and you were the reason. I was falling in love with you. You took me out on dates and we cuddled. And yes, we did the you-know-what, and I topped at one point. Anyway, when it happened, I felt like I was cheating on you, even though I didn't mean it. And when you broke up with me, I've never felt more heartbroken. I never let go and vowed to myself to never stop loving you. Seven years later, you came back. We talked the whole night, and we got back together. Now we're getting married. And I can't imagine my life without you. I already lived seven years like this, and I hope it doesn't happen again. I promise to spend the rest of my life with you and not let you slip away again. I love you, Louis, and I hope to keep reminding you always."
The crowd was crying even more now, and a few tears slipped from Louis's eyes. Considering he wasn't a very sentimental person during weddings, this was an achievement for a wedding vow to make him cry.
After that, Niall proceeded to ask the questions that everyone likes to hear.
"Harry Edward Styles, do you take Louis William Tomlinson as your lawfully wedded husband?"
"I do."
"And Louis William Tomlinson, do you take Harry Edward Styles as your lawfully wedded husband?"
"I do."
"Great. You may now kiss the groom."
Harry and Louis leaned in. Their kiss had just as much sparks as their first kiss as teens and their first kiss once they got back together. However, this time everyone witnessed it. Not from listening through a bathroom door, but seeing it through their own eyes.
Everything else went by quickly. Soon enough, they were on their way to their shared flat.
"Harry?"
"Yeah?"
"Do you love me now?"
"Of course I do, Mr. Louis Tomlinson."
"Okay."
"And will you ever leave me?"
"Of course not, Mr. Harry Tomlinson."
