XAVIER'S POV

I was watching my brother get ready with a smile on his face and everyone around him praising him about how lucky he is to have Cecilia, I couldn't be happy. He didn't deserve her after what he's done to my baby girl.

"Good news!"

We all looked up to see mom.

"Xavier is getting married too!"

"WHAT?!"

Everyone ran out with laughs and with man hugs and pats to the back.

"Mom, NO!"

I looked at my brother and he looked away, closing his eyes.

"This is Cecilia's and my day."

"Well Cecilia wants to share it with her sister, so you both are getting married, you like it or not."

I tried to reach Emma, but she had me blocked sine the minute she left with her sister. I was about to pull out my phone when mom grabbed it, taking it from me.

"She's fine, just getting ready, probably just as happy as you are."

I smiled down at her and nodded not showing her that I was worried. She was determined to let this be her sister's day and not hers. I wonder what changed her mind.

"Congrats man!"

 I smiled when dad came in handing me a suit.

"Here change."

"Why am I not surprised?"

"You could never be too prepared."

"But dad..."

"Son, do you love her?"

"You know that I do."

"She loves you?"

"Yes, but..."

"No buts son."

"I'm serious dad; she deserves a proposal, not just a shot gun wedding because her sister said so. She's special and I'm afraid she'll hate me for this."

"You wanna see her?"

"Think they'll let me?"

He and I knew her parents were very old fashioned and see as we're getting married the last thing they want to do is ruin tradition.

 "Let me see what I can do."

"Thanks dad."

He patted me on the back and left while I changed and went into my personal bag, digging through it until I found the little blue box. I have been carrying this for a year since Zander told me it's what she dreamt about since she was a little girl

Three carat blue diamond set in platinum with twenty seven half carat diamonds surrounding the band and a flawless blue diamond. I even had the setting made along with my ring as well. 

Then I felt her wall come down.

EMMA'S POV

My heart was pounding, I didn't know what he was going to do or think, but I needed to talk to him without seeing him or anyone knowing.

'Xavier?'

I had to keep my eyes closed because if he saw me, he might freak out.

'Xavier please don't hate me.'

'I'm here and no, why would I?

'We have to get married... I know that this isn't like you planned or myself, but...'
