*3 YEARS LATER*

"Kelsey, you are the love of my life, I don't know what I'd do without you. Three years ago, when I... we almost lost you, I didn't know what I was going to do. I still have no idea what I would've done. You are mine and I vow to never hurt you, to protect you, and to love you forever. I love you."

I feel a tear come down my cheek.

"Calum Hood. You.... you.... are the love of my life. Three years ago, I thought I was going to die happy just because I was with you, but now, I know that is even more true. I'll die happy because I got through the rough times with your help and because I got to marry the love of my life. You are the only reason that I smiled during those six months of pure frustration and you're the only reason I still genuinely smile now. I still can't believe we've made it this far and I love you."

"Calum Thomas Hood, do you take Kelsey Grace Irwin, to be your lawfully wedded wife?"

"I do."

"Kelsey Grace Irwin, do you take Calum Thomas Hood to be your---"

"I do."

"By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you man and wife. You may now kiss the bride."

Calum looks me in the eyes, puts his hands gently on my cheeks, and kisses me, with that same spark the first time he kissed me.

When the kiss breaks, he hugs me tightly then grabs my hand and raises it in the air like I won a boxing match, then starts walking back down the aisle. 

--

We get to the reception and I stand there with Calum in the corner, him hugging me from behind, letting me know I was only his. I look up at the stage and see Asthon walk out to the microphone. 

"Hello everybody. Um... well... as you guys probably know, I am the best man. And I know this wasn't really planned, but if you guys don't mind, Michael, Luke, and I would like to play the song for the bride and groom's first dance."

I look up at Calum. He lets me out of the hug and grabs my hand and drags me out to the dance floor.

Michael and Luke walk out and take their places on the stage. 

"This song was written by Calum quite a few years ago, and we want you all to hear it."

Luke starts singing.

"You look so beautiful
No one but me knows you're insane
I feel so damn pathetic
My friends just don't get it

Cause you've got me under oath
Before you I was in a fucking rut
One day you are in the past
That night I ask you back"

Michael chimes in.

"It started out just harmless fun
Now you've got me thinking you are the one"

Then all together.


"Cause if you wanna take me home
You know I'm ready to leave
You've got me under your spell
Please don't set me free

Cause I've been having all these nightmares
Seeing you is my only way up
Feeling so defenseless
But I'm telling you
I wouldn't change a thing"

Ashton sings alone.

"You've got me feeling strange
Cause I love to hate you so damn much
But I can't think of leaving
Cause you're what keeps me breathing

It started out just harmless fun
Now you've got me thinking you are the one"

Then together again.

"Cause if you wanna take me home
You know I'm ready to leave
You've got me under your spell
Please don't set me free

Cause I've been having all these nightmares
Seeing you is my only way up
Feeling so defenseless
But I'm telling you
I wouldn't change a thing

Cause if you wanna take me home
You know I'm ready to leave
You've got me under your spell
Please don't set me free

Cause if you wanna take me home
You know I'm ready to leave
You've got me under your spell
Please don't set me free

Cause I've been having all these nightmares
Seeing you is my only way up
Feeling so defenseless
But I'm telling you
I wouldn't change a thing"
