The Creep Around the Block

WEDDING DAY...

I woke up in my bed, looked to my right, and saw my soon to be husband. He slept peacefully, most likely dreaming of what would come today.

"Well, time to ruin his sleep." I said, then stood up on the bed, "HAROLD EDWARD STYLES, GET YOUR FAT ARSE OUT OF BED!!!"

He rolled over in his side, saw me, then started jumping with me.

I jumped off of the bed and ran into the living room, everyone had stayed over from the reception yesterday, with everything necessary here already.

"Bitches!!! Get your asses up, I'm getting married today!!!"

I screamed, running through the house. I ran as fast as I could, having a 5 month large stomach, upstairs into the guest room where Conner and Zayn were sharing a bed. They had their backs to each other, trying to avoid the awkwardness of sharing a bed with someone of the same gender.

"Conner! Zayn! This pregnant chick needs you to get up." I attempted with all my might to jump onto their bed. I almost failed, but I succeeded.

Conner sat up, wiping his eyes and stretching. "Why did you wake me up? More importantly, why is their a 20 year old, 5 month pregnant lady jumping on a bed?"

"Because I'm getting married today!!!" I screamed, excited to no longer be single.

"Ten more minutes." Zayn said like a cliche show and rolled over. I jumped down and crawled over to his face.

"If you don't get up, who walks me to Harry?" I teased him, he was so fucking excited to do that since we agreed he would.

"Fine. I'm up." He got up and out of bed.

"Yay! Thank you!" I hugged him, theb hopped out of the room, back down to the living room, where everyone was putting on their normal clothes.

"Alright! We leave in an hour, so be ready, or I leave your sexy asses here!" I felt like I was in charge.

Zayn and Conner were walking downstairs as I said that. Zayn spoke, "We may be sexy, but that doesn't mean you can boss us around."

"Yea! If the sexy people get pushed around, why aren't you getting ordered?" Lou asked.

"Because I said so! Clock is ticking." I pointed to my wrist.

"You aren't wearing a watch." Zayn laughed, reminding me of when Zayn did the same thing.

"Toushe." Zayn and I shared a knowing glance, then I said, "I'm loading up the cars. I refuse to be late."

I ran to the room, got my dress from the closet, then grabbed a ton of makeup and hair stuff. Since the wedding was outside, I had to get ready here, and Harry and I had to ride in separate cars, it's bad luck to see the bride before the wedding.

All of us girls are riding in Julia's car, a Ford Escape, while the guys were all piling in Harry's Range Rover. So I wouldn't see any of the guys until we were at the park.

I can probably guarantee that Zayn will be upset that he won't be first to see me in my dress. Well too bad for him.

Suddenly, I heard a ton of gasps out in the living room, so I walked out, confused.

Zayn looked like he was on the verge of tears as he got off of his phone, so I had to find out what was wrong, "Would anyone like to explain what happened?"

"Sam, his sister, Doniya, is in the hospital. She got hurt in school today, broke her ankle. None of Zayn's family will be at the wedding. Including Zayn." Perrie explained.

I felt my heart stop, my world just felt like it fell to pieces. Zayn was the one person I wanted to be at my wedding, but he wouldn't be there. Mt best friend won't be at my wedding. What the fuck?!

"No no no, we have to reschedule. Next week. Zayn has to be there. He walks me down the aisle! He's my best friend!" I turned to Zayn and took a step toward him, "I'll visit Doniya with you! You can't miss the wedding!" As you could've guessed, I was crying my eyes out.

"Sam, you can't do that. I'll go now, and I'll try and make it to the wedding if I can. I'm so so so sorry. But I can't let my sister in the hospital."

He pulled me in to hug, but I just kept my arms stiff. When he realised I didnt hug back, he pulled back, and you could see the hurt in his eyes. I didn't mean to hurt him, but I don't know what I feel right now.

"Tell Doniya I said hi, and I hope she feels better."

I may have been overreacting A LOT when I did this, but I discretely took the promise ring off, and took his hand, putting the ring in his palm, then closed it.

As soon as he realized what I've done, I watched the hurt in his eyes get worse. I think I over stepped a boundary doing that, he didn't do anything wrong, but my feelings are fucked up right now, so I did it, then ran outside, into the woods.

Wedding's ruined.

I ran as fast as my pregnant body could go, but I stopped when I realized that the running could fuck up the babies. I rested on a fallen tree, my mind wandered.

Did I do something for my life to fuck up so badly? Is the necklace really bad luck?

"Sammy!" Perrie yelled. She saw me sitting on the tree trunk, and sighed relieved. "Don't run off again!"

Well that was quick, "I don't wanna go back."

"Yes you do. You're getting married." She stood me up, "What happened with you and Zayn? As soon as you were out of the house, he started crying. And I mean seriously bawling."

"Nothing. Let's just go back and get ready."

We arrived at the house, and I noticed that Zayn was gone. That brought tears to my eyes that he didn't say goodbye.

"Come on, get ready guys," I bawled, "You guys have to leave first, Harry can't see the dress."

They all nodded, knowing not to cross me right now. I saw them all head upstairs, most likely getting dressed in the kid's lounge. We had danielle, we would dress her, while rhe guys would dress Tanner.

"Alright, let's get this started!" I clapped my hands, then wiped my eyes.

They all pulled out their dresses, Perrie's being purple, Sandra's being yellow, Julia's blue, Kaitlynn's orange, and Gemma's was green. The guys were supposed to have matching ties.

They got dressed, then all did their makeup the same way. Then they curled their hair, and left it down.

Finally, I pulled out my dress, and put it on in the bedroom part of the master. When I walked in, they all looked at me in awe.

"I knew you'd choose that dress!" Julia pointed. I laughed.

Then they did my makeup the same wag as theirs. But my hair, it's completely different. A combination of an up do and curls. But I loved it.

Kaitlynn ran out, then back in, confirming that the guys had already left. I sighed, here goes nothing.

*

We pulled in the parking lot at the park, Harry and the guys were already here, everything was set up. Niall was the only one out of position, he'd walk me down the aisle. We were now one guys short.

I guess Perrie and Liam went together, Louis and Kaitlynn, then Niall would walk me down, then Julia and Sandra, and Gemma and Conner. Then two of Conner's friends Paisley and Tommy would carry Danielle and Tanner. And Paisley would carry Danielle down and help her throw flowers. (A/N: Did you see the Surviving reference? Paisley= Paige, Tommy= Toni ;))

Harry stood under the thing, while Perrie and Liam walked up, then stood in their places. Then Sandra and Gemma went, both going to the left, then Louis and Kaitlynn. Then Gemma and Conner, then Tommy walked up holding Tanner.

Paisley held Danielle, helping her throw pedals to the sides of the aisle we had set up. It was so fucking cute!

After they stood in their spots, the music started playing, that cliche "Here comes the bride!" song. As soon as the song began, Niall and I linked arms and walked around the corner. As soon as everyone saw me, they all stood.

I looked at all our guests, Karen, Dr. Gray, the Styles family, the Tomlinson family, the Payne family, the Homeings family, the Jones family, the Edwards family, the Nolan family, parts of my family, people from the hospital, and the news station people. But I didn't see Zayn, or his family.

All eyes were on us, and Niall could tell I was nervous, so he pulled me closer. We walked, and I smiled at people as we walked, then we finally reached Harry. Niall handed me off, then stood where he was meant to stand.

I smiled at Harry, and he showed me a closed mouth smile. Then the priest cleared his throat, amd started his speech. (A/N: I'm sorry, but I have no idea what people say at weddings, so I'm gonna write what I think.)

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today in holy matrimony, to bring these these two together." (A/N: I really have no idea what I'm doing, bare with me.)

He said a ton of words, and I barely understood any of it, but I held on. Harry looked anxious. I probably did too.

"We will start with the vows." The priest spoke.

I turned, and got my paper from Perrie, then turned and said the words to Harry, my eyes averting from the paper to his eyes.

"I'll be honest, when we all first met, Liam and I were close. But us, not so much. I recall calling you some things I can't say here, but I also remember you saying you loved me when you met me. Believe me, last year, I would've never expected you'd be the one up here with me. But... I'm really glad it's you."

I ended it, looking into his eyes, then handed the paper back to Perrie. Harry did the same as me, getting his paper from Liam. Then he cleared his throat and began.

"When we met, Zayn was the one hitting on you, while I just kinda sat there alone. I was rude to Liam, punched him in the face actually, just because he won you out of all of us. But after that breakup, Zayn swept in and took you. But I was with Jess so it didn't matter as much. But then you announced your first pregnancy, then announced thay Zayn would be the father, and I was really upset. Then you went through that whole phase where you wanted me to be the father, and all hope was back again. My point is, you drive guys insane, good for you, bad for us."

Holy speech. He definitely had help writing that. Harry and I gazed into each other's eyes.

"Could we have the rings?" The priest broke the silence.

Tommy carried Tanner up, Tanner carried the pillow up, the pillow carried the rings up. Harry and I took the rings and put them on each other's fingers.

"If any of you have reasons why these two should not be married, speak now or forever hold your peace."

There was a moment of silence, until a van pulled up at the end of the aisle, and Zayn jumped out.

"I object!!!"

"Thank god!" Harry, Niall, Louis, Liam, Connor, Perrie, Sandra, Julia, Kaitlynn, and Gemma let out a sigh of relief at the same time.

"Yes? And your reasoning?" The priest spoke.

"Sam, he doesn't love you. He never did. It was all lust. He didn't like Jess either. Thay day we met, he sId he loved you, and he didn't. I told him to stay away from you, but he didn't listen. The dream said to protect you, and I promised I would. That's what I'm doing now." He walked up to Harry and I.

I looked at Harry. "Is he telling the truth?"

My eyes filled with tears when he said, "Sorry."

I dropped the ring off my hand, and ran down the aisle, holding my dress up a bit. When I reached the van, Zayn's little sisters all looked at me. I never wanted them to see me cry, but they had to today.

I ran to the cafe, and immediately bought a drink, soy latte. I got Perrie addicted to those.

I had a moment of weakness, all the memories from back at the apartments came back. Us meeting, Liam and I, Zayn and I, then Harry and I. But Harry didn't love me, it wasn't supposed to be harry standing under that pillar with me.

It wasn't long before Gemma found me. "Sam. Come on. I didn't know, or I would've saved all this heartache."

"This sucks." Is all I said. She sat down next to me.

"I know it sucks. I was looking forward to being your sister in law. But Harry realized he lied to himself all this time, it's nothing to do with you. Harry used to always being home different girlfriends every night. To be honest, I never thought he'd make it to a wedding. You're special." Gemma was practically looking into my soul right now.

"You're right. Since the guys showed up, my life has been like a cliche tv show. Everything you expect would happen, happens." I said, putting my head in my hands.

"And something I've learned from tv shows is that the right guy is always the one who's closest. He's always the one right in front of your eyes, but you're too caught up with the player to realize it." She winked, trying to hint me in on who she thought was the right guy.

With that, she left me to my thoughts.

How could I be so dumb? I may be blonde, but no one in the movies is stupid enough to fall for the wrong guy for so long. It's even worse that I didn't realize who I was meant to be with. My life is the worst sitcom ever.

I stood and finished my drink, then ran out the door. You could say I'm moving on fast, or you could say that I'm a slut, but I don't care, this had to happen.

I ran across the road to the park, no one had even moved, everyone seemed too uncomfortable with what happened. But the first thing I did was find Zayn.

"Zayn! We need to talk, really fast." I pulled him to the side away from everyone.

"Listen, I've just had a major breakthrough. I've realised that my life is like a tv show. In every show, the girl falls for the wrong guy, when the right guy was in front of her eyes. And I've realised that you were always right in front of my eyes."

I kept going, "I might sound insane, but I'm not high. Let's get married." His face changed, not sure if it's good of bad, "Everything is set up, we're here. It would be so easy. Tanner and the twins could be yours. Life would be right. And we could move back to the apartments too."

"Sam, you do sound crazy, but I don't care. If it's what you want, then let's go announce that we're getting married." He simply said, and I smiled.

I dragged him up to where the rest of the group was, "Guys, we have an announcement. We're gonna get married right now!" I said, looking all excited.

"Are you crazy?!" Louis asked, walking closer to me. "You just got out of a relationship."

"But think about it, everyone's here, it would be so simple. So why not?" I looked directly into Gemma's eyes, "A wise woman once told me that the right guy is always the closest, right in front of your eyes." I smiled.

"I can't stop you, but I feel like this isn't smart. But if you want, I'll inform everyone in the situation, and we'll get this done." Liam turned into daddy Payne. I nodded, and we all went back to the positions we were in when we first got here.

I heard Liam announce everything, then a gasp, then everyone started walking up, two by two. Then Danielle, the little flower girl went up, throwing flowers everywhere. And finally, the music.

Niall and I did the same as before, walked down the aisle, arms linked. The looks on everyone's faces looked brighter, they looked relieved that I was finally with Zayn.

Niall handed me over, to the right guy this time, and the poor priest repeated his speech.

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today in holy matrimony. Can we have the vows?"

Shit, I got nothing, so I just made it up as I went.

"Dammit, Zayn, when we met, I hated you so much. Almost more than Harry. Just for helping me cook, then trying to kiss me. But just a little later, we got so close, we were tighter than Harry's skinny jeans. Then after I got pregnant, and we got together, everything went downhill. You said you didn't want Tanner, you were willing to let Harry raise the baby. That told me you loved me. You can stop saying 'in like with me', because we've all known."

I was crying a little, but happy tears.

"And remember when I said it would be a while before I forgive you for helping cook? I forgive you."

Zayn smiled the creepiest grin ever before starting his speech.

"Sam, everyone knew from day one that I loved you. I had Perrie, then you as a best friend, then you as more than a friend, then I had you as an enemy, then I just got you back again. But I lost you this morning, when you returned the ring, my heart shattered. I didn't know what to do. So I just didn't think, and I cried. In front of everyone. I didn't care what they thought, I just wanted you to be my best friend again." I smiled a little.

"But now, I got more than I wanted, and I couldn't be happier." The whole crowd went awww.

Zayn and I gazed into each other's eyes, but it felt right. Then the priest once again interrupted.

"The rings?"

Tommy carried Tanner with the pillow and rings. We put them on each others fingers. His ring was a silver band, and mine was the one and only promise ring.

"You may kiss the bride."

Zayn pulled me in for the most wonderful, perfect, delicate, just right kiss I've ever felt.

This would be the start of my new life right here. With the right guy. Not Harry. Zayn.
