Hanging By A Moment
Flashbacks
Harry's POV:
In the Groom's room...
I stood in front of the mirror and stared at my reflection.
'Your getting married today Harry' a smile slipped out from my lips as I said those words to myself.
I took a deep breath before continuing to button up my sleeves. I was no where ready, I still had to do my tie, put my suit on, polish my shoes then put my shoes on and comb my hair. Wait, since when do I comb my hair?... Oh right, since my mum told me to do so...at least on this day, I remembered Mum's orders.
'Harold, can you help me with my tie' I Louis came from my left.
I turned towards him and did his tie up.
'Haz is my hair alright?' Zayn came from my right.
I turned to face him and sweeped it up higher, like how he likes his quiff.
'Harry should I do my buttons up or not?' Liam came from the other side.
'Yeah do them up' I replied.
'Hazza can you fix my collar?' Niall came from my left.
He turned around and I flapped down his collar. When I had finish, he moved away to fix his hair.
'Wait a minuteeeee.....' I turned around to face them as they paced around the room getting themself ready.
'Shouldn't I be the one panicking? Shouldn't YOU be the one helping me out!?' I corrected them and they stopped where they were.
'Oh rightt' they muttered before rushing to my side to help me prepare. Liam did my tie, Louis put on my suit, Zayn fixed my hair and Niall polished my shoes.
'Zayn you've got the rings right?' I double checked. Abruptly, they all stopped what they were doing and gasped.
'Zayn!' I exclaimed. He fished through his suit with a worried look on his face.
'Great, how am I supposed to get married now if -'I began to ramble on until Zayn showed me the rings.
'I'm just messing with you' Zayn laughed and so did the other lads.
'Geez man' I gave his shoulder a slap.
'Hey, you did the EXACT same thing to me on my wedding day, remember?' he pointed out. He was right about that, I pulled the exact same prank on him on his day.( Read PBCWMH ch 44: The Big Day).
'Nothing else can go wrong right...' I asked the boys who were still surrounding me. Niall was now putting my shoes on, Louis and Liam were rolling the lint remover over my suit while Zayn was fixing my blue boutonniere.
'Like sharks swimming on the water?' I asked.
'Nope' they answered.
'A plane crashing by the beach??' I wondered.
'Nope' they chuckled.
'Volcanoes erupting and burying us alive???' I imagined.
'Relax' Liam placed his hands on my shoulders.
'...Crazy ex running in to the wedding?' I creased my eyebrow.
'Errrr...I'm not sure about that one' Niall came up from below.
'You do have quiet a lot of ex' Louis tilted his head forward from behind me.
'There's Caroline' Liam began.
'AND Taylor' Zayn emphasised.
'THEN Cara' they all chorused.
'Lads, there was also Michelle' Niall pointed with his finger.
'Oh and Brooke!' Louis yelled as he remembered.
'Oh! How about that girl Morgan!' Zayn shouted.
'Yes I remember her' the lads nodded at him.
'Then there was Marianne' Liam continued.
'Hey, that was just a one off thing' I objected.
'Then how about.....hmm...Camryn? Yes HER!' Niall grinned.
'Me and her were just friends' I replied.
'Oh! I remember! Jessica, yup Jessica' Louis blurted.
'That was just a fling' I told him.
'Don't forget Sydney' Zayn winked.
'Umm who?' I scratched my head.
'Whitman' they reminded me.
'Ohh..'I muttered.
'Then there was Maisarah' Liam continued the list.
'That one doesn't count' I objected.
'Yeah it does' Louis argued back.
'But there was Stephanie as well' Niall smirked.
'Don't forget Wingel' Zayn added.
'Wingel....?' I muttered trying to remember .
'Almeda' they reminded me her surname.
'Then there was Danielle' Louis spoked. 'And Daniela' Niall added.
'Aren't they the same person?' I creased my eye brows.
'Nooo' the boys laughed.
'Oh lads how about Heather!' Liam shouted as he remembered the name.
'She had pretty eyes' Niall pointed out. 'Yeah she actually did' Zayn nodded in agreement.
'I never dated her' I clarified.
'Then there was Samantha' Louis continued.
'HEY! Im pretty damn sure Sammie was the only Samantha I ever dated' I objected.
'Okay fine I made that one up' Louis rolled his eyes.
'Fine, well how about Nikita' Niall continued.
'Do I even know a Nikita?' I asked.
'Yeahh' they laughed.
'The one we met during our summer tour remember?' Zayn raised his eye brows.
'After that was Jocelin Del Bosque' Liam pointed out.
'Hey! It was Niall that a had a thing for her' I clarified.
'Arianna& Alexis?' Louis reminded me.
'Hey I never dated two at the same time' I defended myself.
'Ohh! Nicolle' Niall clicked his fingers as he remembered.
'The Italian one' Zayn reminded me.
'After that was Ana, then Elizabeth, then Alex, Adrianna, Jcinth, Alexandria, Eline....' the boys continued to call out names.
'Paula, Natalie, Cassie, Rose, Veronica, Olivia, Holly, Alayna, Meghan....' they trailed off.
'Now your just making up names' I told them and they laughed.
'Were not Harry!' they laughed even louder.
'Did I really date all those girls?' I raised an eyebrow.
'Well, okay maybe we exaggerated a little' Zayn clarified.
'BUT you did date MOST of them' Louis smirked trying NOT to make me feel any better about my list of ex's.
'Guys what if Sammie doesn't come!? Why if she changed her mind?' I run my fingers through my hair. Within seconds my mood had changed from the guy who was having a laugh with his best mates about his long list of ex's to the groom who's having a panic attack.
'Huh?' they uttered confused by the sudden change of mood.
'I need to talk to her' I headed for the door.
'Woooh' they all came running and blocked my way.
'You can't see the bride before the wedding, that's bad luck' Niall told me.
'I make my own luck Niall' I replied.
'Harry, you just can't go alright!' Louis asserted.
'Plus, if we let you go there the girls are gonna kill us' Zayn spoke like his life depended on it.
Momentarily, the door swinged open.
'Hey man, thanks for coming man' I walked up and shook Laut's hand. I had asked him to be one of my groomsmen, not only because he was Sammie's close friend but he was also one of Jacob's godparent and also we got along fine after I had my short-tempered-jealousy-moment of him and Sammie. He was a cool guy.
'Wouldn't miss it' he chuckled. 'AND anything to see my 1 year old godson in a suit' he added. 'Where are you off to, wedding isn't for another hour' Laut said.
'He wants to see Sammie' the lads told him.
'Harry that's bad luck' he reminded me of the overused superstition.
'Harry relax man' Zayn tried to ease my anxiety attack. 'Your only job is to stand at the altar and wait for her to walk down the aisle' he flashed me a smile. I went out to the balcony and looked down by the beach where the wedding was set up. I took a deep breath and focused on what Zayn said.
I just have to wait for her to walk down.
Wait for Sammie... my fiance... my bride...my soon to be wife.
I began to recall my early memories of her....

Samantha's POV:
In the Bride's room...
'Sammieeee!' I heard two familiar voices enter the room. As I was about to turn around from my high chair Perrie quickly objected.
'Babe don't move!' she groaned as she tried to finish up on my mascara. 'Oh sorry' I muttered and tried to keep still.
'Dayummmm girl'Nina exclaimed as she came up from behind.
'You look hot!' Demi emphasised.
I watch from the mirrors as my two friends stood behind me with proud smiles. Like Laut, I informed them about the wedding before we left LA and luckily they didn't have work commitments.
'Your make up is all done' Perrie pulled her hand away.
'Instagram photo!' El quickly came in the middle and held her phone up. We all moved close to try and fit in the camera.
'One more, a funny one this time' she said and we all striked wacky poses.
'Now we just have to get you in that dress' Dani pointed at the long white dress that hanged on the wardrobe.
'I'm kinda scared' I told them.
'Don't be' Demi flashed me a smile. I took a deep breath and suddenly the butterflies in my stomach disappeared.
'Thanks girls' I smiled at them.
Although, it wasn't long till the butterflies settled back in.
'What's happening, out there?' I asked as I heard commotion from out the hallways. They all turned towards the door.
A phone rang and I went to get mine off the table but it wasn't mine.
'WHAT! Well where is he?' I heard Perrie yelled on the phone
'What's happening?' I walked back up to the girls.
'I don't know' they replied. Perrie moved away as she spoke on the phone. Her tone of voice sent me on a panic attack.
'How could you loose him!' she asserted. Something was up but she's trying to keep quiet to from letting us notice. But her frustration over powered her 'silent act'.
'Zayn Malik you better make sure his there!' I heard Perrie's word as she hanged up frustrated.
'Perrie, what's happening?' I walked up to her.
'No, nothing. The girls and I just need to go out and make sure everything is ready' she told me.
'But -' I protested.
'Everything will be okay' she placed her hands on my shoulders.
'Girls come on' she motioned them to follow her out.
'Wait where you girls going?' Louis came running in the room with Liam and Niall.
'Harry's gone!!' Niall revealed.
'What!' I yelled.
'Niall!' they all shouted at him.
'I need to find him' I tried to ran out of the room.
'No, Sammie will find him' Liam stopped me.
'Hi Demi' Niall waved at her shyly.
'Hi Niall' she flashed him a sweet smile.
'Oh Come on guys! Harry's missing and you've found time to flirt with one another' Louis rolled his eyes.
'Sammie just stay here and will come back for you okay' Perrie walked up to where I was.
'Come on guys lets go' Louis lead the group out.
I heard their voices trail off as they came up with a plan.
'Zayn and others are already searching'
'Niall and Liam will check by the beach'
'You girls check inside house'
'El and I will go for a drive around'
It sounded bad.
I paced back and forth around the room worried.
I looked up and came across my gown. I couldn't even put my dress on as I didn't have a groom. I wasn't even sure if there was a wedding happening.....
I went over to the window and looked down by the beach where the wedding was set up. When I was a kid I'd always dream of having the fairytale wedding, with the big white puffy dress in a church where the bells will ring to symbolise that someone has just gotten married. But I wouldn't change anything about my wedding now. The location, the set up, the timing, the guest....it was perfect for me. It was my own fairytale.
But will I still be walking down the aisle? A tear fell out of my eye.
*** Of course if we saw Harry's perception of things we also need to see Sammie's.
