Today is the big day, Mum and Dad are getting married me, Mum Perrie, Aunty Vic and one of Mums best friends Jane are staying at a hotel and getting ready I’m currently lying in bed with Mum waiting until we are meant to be awake and getting ready. I hear the door creek open and see the other girls standing there they walk in Perrie comes over to my side and Jane goes to Mum while Vic stands at the foot.
“Good Morning Beautiful did you sleep well” Perrie ask I didn’t really sleep well I kept thinking about what the bullies keep telling me and doing to me it has only gotten worst.
“Did you want to wake your Mummy up sweetie?” Vic ask me I nod and turn around to face my mum she is so pretty i wish I could be more like her.
“Mummy you have to wake up” I say tapping her cheek she stirs and pulls me tight against her I start giggling.
“Mama wake up you are getting married” I say to her with that she shoots up from their position causing me to stumble back onto the mattress I pout a little at Mum only to be picked up by Aunty Vic
“ Good Morning Sweetie, we should go have Breakfast the Stylist and that will be here soon” Jane says we all go and eat breakfast I don’t eat too much because I’m nervous about well everything what if I trip when walking or I forget the words I’m meant to be singing I’m nervous because mum and dad are going away from 2 weeks by themselves leaving me with the others, I’m still scared that they won’t come back, I don’t think I can be away from them for tat long, they said they would skype me every night and if I need to talk to them I can call but it isn’t the same, I like having a cuddle with mum after school because it makes me feel a bit better and I need dad to be his silly self.
“Are you excited Mama” I ask I want to be happy and not show them I don’t want them to leave because I don’t want to ruin anything for them.
“I’m very excited baby girl I can’t wait to marry your dad and that way we will have the same last name as well baby girl” she says with a big smile and she ruffles me hair up.
Lou has come with a few other stylist and they start doing our hair and all that I don’t know the person who is doing my hair it is a little scary. But I just let her do what has to she curls it and pulls to bit back from the top and put them in loose plaits and clip them back and let them fall at the back. The lady turns to Mum
“Is she allowed to have make up, she doesn’t really need it she is pretty enough” She says I smile a little it is nice having someone other than family say I’m pretty.
“I don’t think she needs it do you want any on baby girl?” mum ask me I look at the stuff and see some sparkly stuff.
“Can I maybe have some sparkly stuff mam” I ask the lady I can’t remember her name actually I don’t think I got told her name because I kind of don’t forget things.
“Of course we can darling, by the way you have beautiful manners” she says I watch as mums face lights up at the comment
“Thankyou mam” she starts brushing some stuff on my face moving my face at certain times until she is happy.
“There we go darling all done.” She says I look in the mirror I look nice so far even just with the hair and sparkly stuff.
“Thankyou I love it I look pretty” I say I slightly choke when I call myself pretty but I don’t think they notice.
“It’s my pleasure darling but you looked pretty even before you hair went up and I put the make up on you. You are very lucky to be such a pretty girl” she says to me I thank her again and go over to mum
“Look mummy” I say getting her attention
“look at you baby girl always a picture of perfection baby, did you want to go and read or draw or something baby it is too early to put your dress on yet, we might take a bit longer yet with our makeup” Mum tells me holding my hands I smile and about to go read a book.
“You girls don’t need makeup you are pretty without it” I say looking at everyone in the room they all break out in a big smile.
“Naw thankyou Gracie babe” Jane says I smile and walk into the lounge room where my book is I’m currently reading to Kill a Mocking Bird again
I just put my dress on and I look in the mirror at myself I only find flaws in my appearance I’m to cubby my face is ugly it’s such a pretty dress I ruin it though by wearing it. I sigh again before I walk out. The other girls except Mum are ready their dresses are a pale purple dress that flows to the floor with a white ribbon around the middle and they are strapless mine is the same but I don’t look as pretty as they do. I hate wearing dresses I still feel to exposed and there is going to be lots of people I don’t know
“Aww look at you beautiful you look so stunning, come and get some pictures with us why we wait for your mum” Perrie says I just nod and skip over with a “smile” on my face. I go and stand next to her she takes a picture of me before she picks me up and places me on her hip and we all take photos.
“Everything ok Gracie” Perrie Whispers no I’m not ok but they don’t need to know that because I’m just been stupid.
“I’m all good Aunty just a little tired” I lie to her she doesn’t really look convinced but just goes with it. All the sudden she starts tickling me causing me to break out in giggles. I look and see Mum standing by the bed room door my mouth drops she looks really really beautiful. Her dress is an off white the top is tight then flows out a little at the bottom but not to much the top has a beaded design. “Mummy you look really really pretty. Gran is standing next to her looking at her daughter with so much pride
“Thankyou baby girl you look more pretty though” she says I go over and hug her
“Thankyou for wearing a dress baby I know you don’t feel comfy” She says and kisses me on the cheek she looks so proud of me all I have to do is stay by the people I know I will be safe.
There is a knock at the door and James pops his head in.
“Wow you girls all look wonderful, The limo is down stairs there are some fans unfortunately so El we have assigned 1 guard to each of the girls two for yourself and I will take Miss Grace.” James says coming in Mum nods in agreement Mum grabs my hand and we start walking out the door where there are the other body guards are waiting. Once we get to the lobby I can hear the screams. I look at Mum who rolls her eyes.
“Ok new plan we moved the limo around back the fans are getting to crazy we don’t think it is safe” James says Mum nods those words and the screaming are annoying me I don’t want to ruin Mums dress by getting her to pick me up.
“Calm down shorty we won’t let them hurt you, you’re safe.” James says standing next to me with a hand on my back.
We get to the place where the wedding is held it is a private beach we have blocked of a 2 mile radius so no one without and invite can come in.
“Ok so Gracie you walk down First with Uncle Liam, Then Vic you walk down with Niall, then Jane you walk down with Harry and Pez you walk down with Zayn then El your father will walk you down to Louis. Gran says just telling us of the order once more. I nod I look out the window and see my uncles standing next to the limo waiting for us they look good in their suits with light purple ties. Gran hands me a bouquet of flowers they are purple and white. The door opens reveling Uncle Liam.
“Me lady I shall escort you to the ball” He says holding a hand for me I take it and step out.
“Holy shit you look so beautiful Kitten” Harry says and Zayn slaps him over the back of the head for swearing.
“Harry don’t swear, But He is right Grace you look so beautiful like always.” He says the other girls get out and Zayn, Niall and even Harry’s jaw drops each on their respective walking partner I think Harry really likes Jane by the looks of it.
“ok we should go El you Prince is awaiting” Gran says I take hold off Liam’s Arm and we start walking towards the beach I see Dad down the end and all the people are standing and looking at us I swallow hard and take a breath we start walking down towards dad he looks so happy and tears roll down his cheek. We reach the front and I smile a little that I didn’t fall over. Dad opens his Arms for a hug and I run into them he picks me up and spins me kissing my cheek.
“look at you my pretty little princess” Dad says smiling proudly he puts me back down saying an I love you and look back down as the others have started their walk down I look around and see some faces I recognize I see Avan, Demi, Simon my aunties Nan and Pop Jade, Leigh, Jesy and they are kind of the only ones I recognize. I wait for the others to come down and then the music for Mum to start walking I snap my attention forward Mum looks so nervous I look at Dad he is crying
“She looks stunning” I hear dad say once Mum gets down to us Dad holds her hand and they both have loving looks on their faces. The ceremony has been going on for about 15 minutes and I’m starting to get antsy standing there in front of everyone and my legs are starting to get sore I start moving from side to side shuffling on my feet.
“Come here Gracie sweetie” Liam whispers I walk over to him and he picks me up holding me on his hip. Taking some relief of my feet.
Louis POV
I can believe that today is the day El become my wife I have been waiting for this day since we met I knew she was the only one for me. I am currently standing at the alter waiting for them to join me i listen to the calming sound of the waves gently crashing on the shore. My Mum and sisters are standing with me they are really happy as well that El is officially becoming part of the family... I can’t wait to see her walk down that aisle in her dress I know she will look beautiful, she could wear a potatoes sack and still look beautiful. I had trouble sleeping last night because she wasn’t beside me it felt weird it always does when I’m on tour but it felt wrong last night. I also can’t wait to see my little girl in her dress. i hear some music playing and Mum and my sisters run back to their seats I look and See My little princess and Liam walking down towards me, she looks so pretty in her dress but you can tell she is not comfy in the dress I smile and have tears in my eyes at how gorgeous my little girl looks. A tear rolls down my cheek and when she and Liam reach the front I open my arms so I can give my little princess a hug. She runs in to my arms and I pick her up and spin her kissing her face I hear a few awes from the guest.
“look at you my pretty little princess” I say giving her one last kiss before I place her down and she takes her spot the others walk down they all look beautiful but the next Person who walks down in El and holy shit she looks like a flipping angel i start crying from happiness how did I get so lucky. She guess down to me and her dad gives her away to me I take a hold of her hand and we both look at each other.
“You look incredible baby” I whisper so only she can hear we turn to the priest. I don’t really pay too much attention to what he is saying I keep stealing glances at the beauty beside me. I see Grace go over to Liam and he picks her up I guess the poor kid is getting tired. The priest dude then says it is time to say our vows.
“The moment I set eyes on you I knew one day I will be marrying you, buying house with you, having kids, growing old and playing with our grandkids. I know we didn’t do things in that order but I wouldn’t change that ever, I know there are times where we have had a little fights and I hated every single one of those and the tears that fell down your perfect face I would do anything to make sure no more ever fall down your face I vow to protect you hold you when you’re scared make you better when you are sick every day I will ensure that there is always a smile on your face. I still don’t know how I got so lucky to call you mine you have made me the happiest man on earth and no matter what I do I don’t think I will ever be able make you as happy as you make me but I will try because I love you. I stand before you vowing to protect you with my life and love you to the very end. I vow to be the best father to our Daughter and to any of our future children. I love you Eleanor Jane Calder.” I say she has tears in her but a big smile on her face.
“Louis you make me so happy I’m glad that out of all the girls in the world you choose me. Every day you somehow make me full even more in love with you. I love waking up next to you and seeing you cheeky smile as you wait for me to wake up. I love the way I feel safe and at home in your arms, I vow that I will always be there for you with open arms waiting for you when you come home from a tour. I love how we have such a different life from everyone we live in well a mad house with our best friends well their more like our brothers and sister, we have our gorgeous little girl and I love every moment of it. The moment I saw you I thought my heart was going to jump out of my chest, and the butterflies where going to rip through my stomach and to this day I still get those same butterflies when I’m around you. When I was younger my Mum told me I would know I was in love because there would be fireworks when we hold hands or hug or kiss and well honey with you there is definitely fireworks. I love you Louis William Tomlinson I look forward to a life time of fireworks with you.” She says I am so happy that she feels like that I sometimes think that living all of us in one house el doesn’t like it I’m so glad she does.
“You may now kiss the bride” and with that I lean in and kiss her our first kiss as a married couple I smile into the kiss and feel her do the same.
“Ewwwwwww” I hear Grace and Niall say causing the guest to laugh we break from the kiss and smile at our little girl we go and sign the certificate and are about to walk towards the next little area where we will talk with a guest for a bit then go and get photos. But before we walk back down the aisle we stop to get Gracie I know that having this many people around her must me a little scary. I take her from Liam who is standing chatting with the other guys and the girls she is laughing at something.
“Hey princess did you want to come with me and Mum we have to go to the next tent to talk to people and get photos with them then after that we all go and get some nice photos” I say and she nods knowing either way that we will be having to go and be with lot of people either way so I take her from Liam.
“I’m so happy for you Mummy and Daddy” she says she does sound happy and I’m glad she is her happiness and El’s happiness is all that matters to me.
Grace POV
Dad takes me From Liam and we walk back down the aisle with all the guest clapping I hide into Dads shoulder. We get out and pose for a few photos for the professional photographer it is the same one that was with us when we were getting ready and what not and took some before we walked in so many photos my face hurts from smiling. We get to another tent that is quickly filling with people we talk with some people that I don’t know and I’m starting to get nervous.
“Grace quick come with us we found a chocolate fountain.” Niall says jumping from foot to foot with a just as excited Avie next to him I smile and look up at Mum and Dad with the puppy dog eyes.
“Go on Baby girl” Mum says the boys run of and I try and keep up but I can’t Avie comes back towards me a scoops me up laughing
“come on little one” He says and we run of again with me on his hip laughing we get to where Niall is and I look up and see a huge chocolate fountain I’m about to put my hand in to get some.
“Hold up you three I know two of you need to stay clean” I turn and see Uncle Simon, Jesy, Demi and 5 other girls that I don’t know.
“Demi!!” I say and run up to her for a hug.
“Hello sweetie I missed you” she says hugging me tighter
“Missed you to” I say leaning back. “Did you want chocolate to aunty Demi” I say smiling wanting the chocolate.
“Why don’t I get a greeting like that Missy” Simon says looking expectantly at me
“Because I saw you the other day so I didn’t have the time to miss you simy” I say with a cheeky smile causing the others around me to laugh I realize that there are people I don’t know and get a little nervous so I give demi another hug.
“Don’t be nervous babe, now let’s have chocolate” she says I pull back at the word chocolate and smile.
“Dems wait don’t encourage them yet they need to stay clean” Simon says looking around for someone Niall comes and stands next to me and we both give him the puppy god eyes
“But uncle Simy the chocwate it looks so nummy” I say in a baby voice
“OMG that is the cutest thing simy how can you say no to that face” one of the girls say I should find out their names.
“Back up Camilla 2 things 1. I can’t say no to that face of hers and she knows it because no one can say no and 2. Only Grace can call me Simy” Simon says coming over and kissing my cheek. Then someone comes up to him and hands him something.
“Now Niall and Gracie you can have chocolate but to keep clean you will put these bags over you clothes” he says holding up two plastic bags.
“But how do we eat chocolate if our arms are in bags and how do we breathe like Mum always well and Liam always says not to put plastic bags over my face because we can suffocate, right Bear” Niall says winking at me
“Right uncle Niall” I say agreeing with him what Uncle Simon is silly.
“that’s why you rip holes in it come here Niall help you Dems did you want help Princess Gracie?’ Simon says handing her the plastic bag she rips a hole in the top and pulls it over my head and she rips some holes for my arms. It looks really stupid I scrunch up my face a little I look over at uncle Niall and laugh he has a similar expression to me.
“I feel like such a baby uncle Si I promise to be careful and not spill any chocolate on me” Niall complains Simy rolls his eyes
“Ni I have seen you eat” he says again start laughing Avan is just standing there watching with amusement.
“Don’t worry Gracie you still look pretty” he says bopping my nose Niall pulls me to him and I hear a few people take photos me and Niall just pull funny faces before someone hands us a cup of chocolate each we instantly look at each other and start drinking it all I keep thinking is about how fat I am getting but I ignore it and just enjoy the moment.
“Guys you have to try this it is so yummy” I hear some people giggle and look down feeling ashamed they must be laughing because I am so fat.
“Hey bestie come here you have some chocolate around your face.” I look up he has some as well I laugh at him and again there is a click of a camera. He grabs a napkin and wipes around my mouth then I do the same to him. All the while someone is taking pictures of us having fun. My tummy starts hurting, I feel like I’m going to vomit and my head feels a little funny and I realize I ate too much sugar.
“Avie is there any water and a little bit of fruit” I ask him holding my tummy but trying not to make it obvious.
After what feels like years of having photos done we are at the reception we sit at a table at the front of everyone I sit next to mum and Perrie there is a dance floor and people walking around with drinks including alcohol this makes me feel even more nervous been in a dress around people who are drinking.
“Baba stick by me tonight if you want I won’t be having anything to drink, no one will do anything stupid but just chill with me if it make you feel more comfortable” Perrie whispers and I nod in agreement the music starts and we go up and start dancing and having a good time. I dance with mum and dad, the boys, the little mix girls, dads sisters Nan and Pop gramps and gran, simy, demi and Avan I am having a lot of fun actually.
“Hey Grace you need to go up and sing” Liam’s says and leads me to where I need to be I grab my guitar as Liam goes up to the little stage.
“Well it is time for the couple’s first dance and we have a special guest singing a song for them tonight, please welcome Grace Tomlinson” Liam sys and I walk on stage as people are clapping I start feeling shy again but look up and see Mum and Dad smiling at me. I start playing and keep my eyes on Mum and Dad
Some people live for the fortune
Some people live just for the fame
Some people live for the power, yeah
Some people live just to play the game
Some people think that the physical things
Define what's within
And I've been there before but that life's a bore
So full of the superficial
Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you, baby
If I ain't got you, baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you, yeah
Some people search for a fountain
That promises forever young
Some people need three dozen roses
And that's the only way to prove you love him
Hand me the world on a silver platter
And what good would it be?
With no one to share
With no one who truly cares for me
Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you, baby
If I ain't got you, baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you, you, you
Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you, baby
If I ain't got you, baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you, yeah
If I ain't got you with me, baby
Said nothing in this whole wide world don't mean a thing
If I ain't got you with me, baby
I finish the song and everyone is clapping I put my guitar away and go and see mum and dad who are waiting for me with open arms
“That was beautiful Baby girl thankyou “ Mum says hugging me tight to her and kissing my head
“Your great princess” Dad says taking me from mum and placing me on his hip. I see that some food is been served as dad places me in my seat a few people come up and tell me that I did a beautiful job I just smile and say thankyou.
Once we have had some food the DJ calls Mum and Her Dad to do the daddy daughter dance I’m starting to get incredibly tired with not sleeping well last night and dancing and running around today they start playing a song called Butterfly Kisses after the first Chorus Dad comes and takes me and we start dancing as well I rest my head on his shoulder and yawn.
“Are you getting tired my little princess” Dad ask rubbing circles on my back I’m about to say no but a yawn comes out instead I hear dad Chuckle.
“I’ll take that as a yes” he continues to sway us back and forth which is putting me more and more into a sleepy state.
“I love you daddy” I say quietly and tiredly
”I love you to princess I really do” he replies I stifle yet another yawn and I just rest my eyes.
“Hey Lou did you want to leave Grace here with Me, Simy, Camilla and Jes” I hear someone say I think it is Demi. I can feel dad looking at me and pass me over I open my eyes for a sec because I don’t want them to leave without saying good bye
“Don’t worry princess me and Mummy won’t leave without saying goodbye I promise” he says kissing my head by this stage I’m practically asleep again.
“Hey Baby girl wake up baby” I hear mums voice I stir and open my eyes to see that I am in my mum’s arms now. I then realize that it is time for them to go and my happiness is dismissed I wrap my arms around Mum and hug her tight in my head I keep repeating please don’t leave but I won’t say it out loud because I would just be selfish.
“I’m going to miss you mummy” I simply say with that she hugs me a lot tighter and kisses my cheek.
“I’m going to miss you to baby girl but two weeks will feel like nothing. You will have to boys and Aunty Perrie and tonight you guys are having a big sleep over with all them, and the little mix girls, Demi, Avan, Vic Jane they will all be there and Avan and Vic will be staying until we come back. If you need us all you have to do is call us” Mum says I now all that but it won’t be the same but I smile and pretend that I’m not upset.
“My turn” I hear dad says and Mum hands me over.
“Everything will be fine princess we are just a phone call away I promise and we will be back princess just remember that we will be back. I’m going to miss you so much princess I love you” Dad says kissing my face all over mum comes and joins the hug and I just breathe in their scent.
“We have to go now baby girl I’m sorry. I love you baby we will be back soon” Mum says with one last kiss from them both they place me down and say bye to the others. They start walking away and I feel myself wanting to run after them begging them to stay instead tears roll down my cheek I feel myself take a step but someone puts a hand on my shoulder.
“Baba its ok they will be back, don’t cry babe” Perrie says and lifts me onto her hips.
“I don’t want them to go Perrie make them come back please make them come back” I beg in tears the others comes around and try to comfort me. I just cry into Perrie’s shoulder, I need them back. This is going to be the worst 2 weeks I have had in a while.
