Thea

Beautiful Boy

I take a couple deep breaths and head out the door.

We have to drive a minute to get to the place that Ezra picked for us to get married at. He wanted it to be the place where his favorite memory was. So he took me to the place where I first said I love you, and where we let go of our first lanterns.

As we pulled up to the spot I saw everything. There were lights covering everywhere, and every person I cared about was there to see me on my happiest day.

"Happy wedding day, I love you loser." Xavier said to me with a smile. I laughed at him as he leaned in to give me a hug. "I love you Thea." Ana said and gave me a kiss on the cheek. They both got out of the car, and since they were the people that were walking up before me I knew that the time was close.

My dad finally came around to meet me at the car, and he opened the car door with a huge smile. "Oh my darling daughter. Look at you." He says to me as he gives me his hand to help me out of the car.

My mom and him haven't been as present in my life recently, but truthfully I wouldn't want anyone else to walk me down the aisle.

He gives me a huge hug and looks at me with tears flowing from his eyes. "Oh, don't cry. You are going to make me cry, and I have already cried enough." I say to him with laughter as I brush his tears off.

" I'm sorry I know you have never seen your old man cry. It's just I know that this life I brought you and your brother in was far from ideal. You guys deserved the world, and so much more. That man at the end of the aisle will give you just that my dear Thea. I don't think I can ever make up for my absence over this last year. I was fooled and betrayed by the man I thought was my friend and partner. Let alone did I know that he was working with the man that wanted you dead. I am so honored and proud to call you my daughter Thea. Today I am walking down the aisle with a woman with the most strength not only from the outside but from the inside as well." He said to me as tears still coated his eyes.

My heart could not be more fuller by his words, " I love you." I say to him, "I love you too." He says to me as he grabs my hand. We start to walk up the path and I hear the music playing as my bridesmaids walk down the aisle. The last one was Ana, and that was my signal to start. My father hands me my flowers, and I smell the beautiful scent. I feel safe and protected by having Ezra's mom's favorite flowers close to my heart.

I let my train go in the back of my dress, and finally look up at the beautiful sight I have in front of me. I look straight ahead, and there he is. Crazy how I still get butterflies even if it is with the man that's about to be my husband.

My smile spreads across my face when I see him looking all handsome with his tux. He stands beside Xavier, and he has the biggest smile.

As I get closer and closer all I want is for Ezra to be in my arms. My father and I get to the end of the aisle and he turns towards me and leaves me with a hug and a kiss. He goes and sits next to my Mom as I continue to make my way to the altar.

I get to the beautiful arc altar that is covered with flowers. I turn towards my bridesmaids who are Iris, Bibiana, and Ana. I could not ask for better friends.

I gave my flowers to Ana and now I can finally look him in the eyes. I look at Ezra and he has a single tear leaking from his eye.

"Don't cry, Angel." I say to him as I brush the tear from his cheek. He sniffles and laughs. "You look beautiful." He says to me as he grabs my hand and rubs them softly.

As the officiator started to talk.
