Harry and I snuck off to our own rooms to make sure nobody suspected anything, as I walked into my dressing room I saw Rowan looking at me. "You have 5 minutes, love. You ready?" They asked, and I nodded.

When I was younger people had always told me how they were nervous before walking down the aisle, how they always debated whether or not this was the right more for them. After all, it's a crazy choice in your life that will effect everything. Or so they said.

Another thing told me after they got married is how they regretted it sometimes, them going on and on about how 51% of marriages fail. Whenever I heard old men complain about their wives I always felt as if maybe I didn't want to get married when I was older. Maybe marriage just wasn't for me, maybe i'll never find the right one.

But Harry proved me wrong, he proved all my disbeliefs wrong.

Which made me realize something.

Everybody who complained and regretted their marriage just had never found the right person. Their person. Harry was mine, and I know that I'll never be that house wife that wonders what their life would be if they hadn't settled. I know that Harry will bring out the best in me, just like he always has.

"Ember! Come on, it's your time love." Rowan yelled, my mom smiling as I walked up to her. As Rowan took her seat I stared out to the crowd, Harry looking around, his eyes coming towards me as the song we had chosen played.

Je Te Laisserai Des Mots, by Patrick Watson.

A song I had fallen utterly in love with, one I had always seen myself walking to Harry with.

The piano played with my steps as everybody stood up, turning their heads to look at me. My arm was interlinked my mother, but my eyes were set on Harry's. I didn't care that I was the center of attention, I didn't care everybody was looking at my ripped dress and Harry's cut in half tie. I couldn't think, all I could see was him.

My eyes stared into his as I walked down, one foot in front of the other, my eyes tearing up as I saw his did. He tried to force them down, a smile appearing on his face as he saw me.

I made it to him, standing in front of him as a few tears fell down my cheeks

I made it to him, standing in front of him as a few tears fell down my cheeks. He grabbed both of my hands in his, his thumb rubbing against my knuckles as he let out a breathy laugh, shaking his head in disbelief.

"You look absolutely perfect, Ember." He whispered, no one else hearing it accept for me. I rolled my lips to fight off a smile, one that inevitably showed up. "Thank you Harry, you don't look too terrible yourself." I said, toying with his cut tie. He chuckled slightly as Liam stood between us.

Oh yeah, did I forget to mention he was marrying us?

He motioned for everyone to have a seat, some shuffling noises that I ignored, keeping my sights on Harry.

"Everyone, thank you for coming. Family, friends, our couple." Liam said, pointing to Harry and I as I smiled at him. "I could go on and on, building the suspense for everyone here. But let's not torture ourselves" I rolled my eyes at Liam as I laughed softly, my fingers tapping against Harry's hand anxiously.

"Ember Evergreen" Liam said, my heart racing "Do you take Harry Styles, to be your lawfully wedded husband. Through sickness and through health, to have and to hold, until death do you part?"

I saw some nervousness in Harry's eyes, as if I would ever say no.

"I do"

Liam turned to Harry, "And do you, Harry Styles, take Ember Evergreen to-"

"I do" Harry spurted out, interrupting Liam as I laughed, both of us putting our rings in each other. Harry's empty ring finger now decorated by the band we had chosen together.

"Well, you know what to do now-" Liam said as we interrupted him again. I smiled brightly, jumping to wrap my arms around Harry's neck, feeling his own around my waist tightly as I pressed my lips onto him. I ran my hand through his hair, hearing loud cheers that turned muffled as I got lost in him. I pulled back and stared at Harry, "Holy shit" I whispered, seeing him throw his head back as he laughed.

Both of us gasped as everyone throw an arrangement of flowers at us, the petal falling around us. Everything moved in slow motion as I stared at Harry, I wouldn't change anything for the world.

The wedding reception took place at the field next to where Harry and I said I do, music playing loudly over speakers all around us as we took off our shoes to dance on the grass. Harry spun me around on his arms, making me yell out at the unexpected action, stopping when I heard a familiar song.

He stared at me as I looked at him with guilty eyes, "Did you arrange this?" He asked with a smile, referring to the song playing in the background.

Fireproof, by One Direction

I laughed loudly and smiled, pointing to the four boys that were coming running to Harry, engulfing him in a group hug as they jumped around him, yelling out loud congratulations while they all sang along to the song. Everyone eventually joined in, Harry taking me hand he twirled me.

After many hours, everyone had tired out, saying their goodbyes and thanks as they left. Harry wouldn't let me leave before he showed me something he said, pulling me to a lake. The risen moon had lit it up, the reflection of the stars showing as he motioned for me to sit on the grass with him.

"What are we doing here, Harry?" I ask with a small smile, adoring the rings on both of our fingers. It might my heart swell up, the thought of how happy I am making me emotional.

"I know we agreed not to do vows in front of everyone, how we wanted it for us." He stated, making me nod.

Harry pulled out a piece of folded up paper from a pocket inside his tux, opening it up with slightly shaky fingers. He licked his lips nervously as I tilted my head in adoration, placing my hand over his as he looked up me. "Relax baby, it's just me. Okay?"

He nodded, chuckling softly as he placed the paper back in his suit, making me slightly confused. "I have it remembered, I don't need the paper"

I nodded, waiting for him to start. He pulled my hands towards him, kissing my knuckles softly. "Ember Evergreen Styles," He said, I loved hearing my name with his. "I never thought I would be the type to get married you know, I never thought I would have someone that I wanted to be with forever. Forever is infinite, no end, going on until... well forever. The thought always scared me, I didn't know what would happened. And I don't like the unknown. But with you" He said, shaking his head as his eyes swelled, "With you, it's like I don't care about all the crazy things that could happen in the future, because I know that you'll be in it. I'm not scared of Forever anymore, Ember."

He said, cupping my face in his hands as he leaned closer to me, my lips brushing against his as he whispered, "You are my forever"












Oh my god, I think it's done. I think I have finished Arcane, after MONTHS of writing and thinking and worrying about this story I have finished. I apologize if this isn't the ending you were hoping for, but I feel like this was a good stopping point. Let's say bye to Ember and Harry for now at least.

Also, as of now, "Solare" The Harry fic I've been talking about recently is out now. Thank you,
LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!!
