Him and I

Chapter 25: I choose you

"Thanks." I chuckled. When we walked in, I saw Mason leaning on a wall and talking animatedly with Jess, Nick and Derek. Daniel rushed towards me and Nathan.

"Derina, are you ready to sing? Amelia has told Andrew that the song you're singing, the words and everything is for him from her." I smiled at Daniel. He was freaking out for no reason from yesterday.

"Yes Dan. Don't worry okay. I've chosen the perfect song. Just calm down, everything is going to be fine. I know you're freaking a bit. Try not to cry. The wedding's tomorrow. Arrange the piano." I smiled and squeezed his arm.

Mason was about to walk towards me but he saw Nathan with me and a hard expression took over his face and then Nathan's parents and mine walked towards us. My Mom and Dad, after a long time looked happy.

"Derina, you look beautiful." Theresa told me and Nathan's Dad agreed with her.

"Sing well." Dad came to me and gave me a light side hug and kissed my head. Being this close to Dad again felt so good. I felt light and confident. I loved my Dad, forgetting all wrong he did.

I walked to the piano. There was a microphone placed there and I took it and gathered everyone's attention.
"Hey, I'm Derina Williams. Daniel's best friend. I'm here to sing a song for Amelia's wedding. A song she dedicates to Andrew. I wish they live happily forever." Everyone clapped and sat down according to their seating arrangements. All our friends were on one big table. Amelia was holding Andrew's hand and she gave me a thumbs up. I smiled back at them both. I didn't know Andrew but I was sure of the immense love he has for Amelia.

You're my always You're my forever You're my reality

You're my sunshine You're my best times You're my anomaly

And I'd choose you

In a hundred lifetimes I'd choose you
In a hundred worlds I'd find Y ou...

 
When the sky is falling

 
And I'd say, "I do"
For the rest of my life
With all that I have, I do
And I will

When the sky is falling

I promise you I'm all in,
No turning back.

Every day, every moment, Every breath you take... I choose you.

 
This is more than just a wedding
This is etched into eternity.

 
With our union we will move mountains We will live on our knees

 
And He'd choose us
In a hundred lifetimes
He'd choose us
In a hundred worlds He'd find us...

 
And we'd say, "We do" For the rest of our lives With all that we have we do And we will

When the sky turns black and He comes back Riding on the clouds Every day, every moment, Every breath we take, We'll choose You.

Look into my eyes dear
This is where it starts
I'll give you my whole heart for my whole life.

And I say, "I do"
For the rest of my life With all that I have, I do And I will

When the sky is falling

I promise you I'm all in, No turning back. Every day, every moment, Every breath you take...

I choose you.

When I looked up, I saw tears in Amelia's eyes. They both were standing and then they walked towards me. She hugged me. I loved the lyrics of the song too.
"Thank you Derina." I patted her back and rubbed it soothingly.

Andrew gave me a little hesitant side hug too and said thanks to me. I really felt good after that.

I walked back towards everyone. Everybody was saying that it was beautiful. But I was looking at Mason. My one and only.

"I'll choose you over everything Mason. Every single time." I said slowly meaning every word I said.

"I'll choose you too. But there won't be a time ever when I'll have to choose between you and something else. You're the one for me. Forever." He closed the distance between us and kissed me. Aware of the people watching us. I heard our friends hooting and all. But nothing really mattered in that moment. I knew Mason meant every word that he said too. When we pulled back someone cleared their throat. It was my parents. And just when I was about to explain, Mr. and Mrs. Anderson walked there too.

"Uh-" I started.
"We are together." Mason said easily, with no hesitation, at all.

"We can see that son." Mr. Anderson said.

"When did this happen? You didn't tell me Derina." My Mom.

"I'm so happy for the both of you." Cassandra was the only one at ease.

"I am happy that you finally managed to confess to each other." Dad smiled, Oh My God. Even Dad wasn't upset. He actually looked happy. Seeing that he worked with Mr. Anderson. I was feeling nervous and embarrassed was nothing in what happened when all our friends came to us.

Nathan looked mad. Kyra couldn't care less about whatever happened. Jessica was grinning widely and Nick was happy too. Derek and the twins were teasing us and Daniel. Well he freaked out more.

"Derina that song was a-mazing. And the kiss after that. I'm happy for you two. I always knew something was going on here. But dare you break her heart Mason. I'll kill you. Derina is like another sister to me. Shit tomorrow is Amelia's wedding!"

I hugged Daniel to control him. Everyone was laughing. Daniel's parents came to me and praised me too for the song.

"Tina please take care of Daniel. He's gonna go crazy till tomorrow." I laughed and told Tina. She laughed too and nodded. I've loved Tina and Daniel. They are a great couple. They don't have all rubbish drama between them. The break-up, patch-up kind.

Everyone was happy. Hawaii was sure magical, for Mason and me. For us.
