Tonis POV
It was our wedding day I was so excited, I've been waiting for this day since I first met Serena. She only had a month left of school, we were going to wait till she had graduated but we were too excited to wait any longer.
I thankfully never heard from Anna again, I knew she'd never actually do anything about me and Serena, she just wanted me back.
Last night we went out for dinner with my parents who seemed just as excited as me about getting married, then we headed to the venue where we would spend the night. Unfortunately for me Serena insisted not seeing each other before we walk down the aisle.
I was sad but if she was happy then how could I say no to her. I was lying in bed playing on my phone before I had to get up when I got a text
Good morning my precious angel, I hope you slept well, I love you.
See you down the aisle xxxx
She always knew how to make me smile ever since day one. I quickly replied to her.
Good morning baby. It was weird with you not in bed next to me, I love you more.
See you soon xx
I got up and showered before going to get my hair and makeup done. My mum came into the room as I walked out in my wedding dress, I saw a tear escape her eye. I went and gave her a hug, "you look beautiful darling," she said, "she better be the right one for you this time I don't want my baby hurt again," she continued.
"She is mum, since day one. She's been there for me since the start. You know one time I was rude to her because Anna came to school go try and get me back and..." I started, "wait Anna came into school?" She asked shocked, I just nodded and continued what I was saying, "as I was saying I was really rude to her when she asked me to pick her up from hospital, and I thought she was mad at me the whole ride home, but it turns out she wasn't, she was just worried about me because she ran me a bath like you used to do, but I never told her that you used to do it," mum smiled a bit, "I told her," she said, I frowned before she continued, "she called me that day and said you seemed off and asked what she could do, and so I told her," I smiled at that.
My mums phone started ringing and just before she answered it I noticed it was Serena, that was odd, I hope she's okay.
"Darling, I'll be there in a second," my mum said and got up. "Mum is she okay?" I asked worried sick, mum smiled back at me, "yes, she just wanted to ask me something," I sighed with relief but something still worried me.
I looked at the time and realised I had to get going otherwise I were going to be late.
Serena's POV
Omg I'm getting married today, I was so happy knowing that I would be a Young forever.
I hardly spoke to my friends the last few months, they never came to visit me in hospital except for that first time. I decided that I would still invite them to the wedding I would've felt bad otherwise.
Only Ayla is coming, I rolled my eyes when I got back the RSVP's and saw that. Great friends I have.
I thought about texting my mum but I knew she wouldn't reply because I didn't know if she was even alive so I just left it.
I texted Toni and got a reply back quickly, she always made me smile.
While I was getting my hair and makeup done I held the necklace that Toni had given me back when I was in hospital, I smiled at how lucky I was.
After I got my dress on I stared at myself in the mirror, I looked so pretty. I bought myself a wig and worn it while my hair grew back so I could surprise Toni on our wedding day with how long it was.
It reached halfway down my back now, but it was half done up for the wedding.
I suddenly felt very alone, Toni was in another room getting ready, my mum disappeared, what if Toni leaves me, what if she decides she doesn't want me anymore.
I noticed that I was crying, I tried to stop so I wouldn't ruin my makeup but I couldn't stop.
I grabbed my phone and immediately thought about calling Toni but I didn't want to bother her and she was getting ready anyways.
I called her mum and she answered pretty much straight away, "Valerie, I don't know what to do," I said my voice breaking, I could tell she heard me crying, "darling, I'll be there in a second," she replied then hung up and two minutes later there was a knock on the door.
I opened it and she came in and gave me a huge hug, "darling what's going on why are you crying?" She asked as we went to sit down.
"Am I making a mistake? What if Toni stops loving me? What if she decides she doesn't want me anymore?" This make me cry even more, "I can promise you now, that my daughter loves you more than anything. All she talks about is you. You make her so happy, I haven't seen her this happy in a very long time. Anna made her very depressed, which she hid from me and her dad for such a long time, until one night i found her lying unconscious on her bed. She was rushed to hospital, it turns out she'd overdosed on her antidepressants which I didn't know she had," I gasped as Valerie was explaining what happened,
"why didn't she ever tell me this?" I asked. "She probably didn't want to worry you my dear. You had to deal with your leukaemia, and so much other stuff. She's never told anyone this before. She was in the psychiatric ward for so long, and it took her such a long time to get better and over Anna I never thought she'd be happy again," she took a breath and continued,
"She was getting better when she started her new job at school and then literally she met you that first day and I remember her telling me about you one day when she came round for dinner. The way she talked about I knew you were different but I was very cautious. Every time she came round for dinner she was happier and happier and I knew that you had changed her, I'm so glad that you're marrying my daughter," she hugged me, I realised I had stopped crying at this point and was smiling.
"Now let's get you sorted out my darling there's a wedding to attend and if we don't hurry up you'll be late,"
I went and fixed up my makeup, there wasn't much left to fix up but I tried to make my face not look so blotchy and red.
Tonis POV
It was time for me to walk down the aisle, Serena and I decided that I would walk down the aisle first, then she would go next. I was still worried about her though because mum never came back. I heard the music start and the doors opened, I took a deep breath and started walking, I saw my mum sitting next to my dad, crying while smiling. Happy tears I guess.
I finally reached the end and stood there waiting for my gorgeous girl. I heard the music and the doors open again and waited, after a minute she still hadn't appeared I started to freak out, I looked at my mum who mouthed to me that it was okay. After another minute or so she appeared, and omg did she look gorgeous. Her hair it was so long now, I wondered when it had grown. I felt tears streaming down my face, she's so beautiful and I'm so happy right now. She was smiling from ear to ear.
Once she reached the bottom of the steps I went and helped her up, she smiled at me. I looked at her and noticed something off, her eyes were red still and I could tell she had been crying. I leaned into her, "baby you look beautiful," she smiled, "you look more beautiful my baby," I smiled back and we turned to our celebrant.
"Toni do you have your vows ready?" the celebrant asked me. I nodded, and turned to Serena. I held her hand and started shaking a bit, I was nervous. She squeezed my hand and smiled at me.
"My darling girl, from the moment I met you I knew you were the one for me. You've always made me smile and so so happy. When I met you I was in a very dark place but you bought me out of that place and I honestly couldn't be happier. You've always known what to say and what to do when I wasn't okay, I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you, I love you more than anything," I look up and see that she's crying, she wiped away her tears as she pulls out her piece of paper,
"To my darling Toni, I can't thank you enough for being there for me through the past year and a half. You are my whole world, and you make me so happy. From the moment I ran into you before class I knew there was something different about you but I couldn't quite work it out but now I know. You're everything a girl could dream of and I'm so glad I get to spend the rest of my life loving you and showing you the love you deserve," I was crying this time, she noticed and wiped the tears from my face. God I love her so much. We turned back to the celebrant
"Do you Toni take Serena to be your wife?" She asked
"I do,"
The celebrant turned to Serena, the excitement in her eyes was electrifying.
"Do you Serena...." the celebrant started before Serena interrupted, "I do, I do, I do,"
The celebrant laughed and continued,
"With that being said I now pronounce you wife and wife, you may now kiss," I zoned out as Serena pulled me and kissed me, I had butterflies in my stomach, and smiled as she kissed me.
Serena's POV
Later on that night I was so happy, Toni was my wife which means I could protect her with my life. I had been dancing with Ayla for a while every now and then looking over and seeing Toni smiling and dancing with her mum and friends. I looked over again and this time I couldn't see her and freaked out, next thing I know someone tapped me on the shoulder I turn out and see my wife smiling, "may I have this dance Mrs Young?" She asked,
"Yes Mrs Young you certainly may," she took my hand and led me into the middle of the dance floor as Lover by Taylor Swift started playing, we were slow dancing when someone caught my eye. She was standing by the door, she looked very familiar. As I kept staring I realised who it was. My heart dropped and the colour drained from my face and I stopped dancing and just stood there staring "Baby are you okay?" Toni asked into my ear, I nodded "I'll be back baby," I replied, and kissed her and walked away.
I pushed through everyone to get to the door, but she was gone. I walked outside and looked around until I saw her.
I walked up to her, I wanted to say something but I didn't know what to say. I felt someone put their hand into mine and look and see Toni.
"Mum,"
