Abbys POV
                          
I wake up the next morning with Lukes arms around me and our legs twisted in bunches. I get out of bed to hear him groan. 
                          
"Luke, babe, get up."
                          
"Do I have too?" He groans.
                          
"Yes. Well unless you don't want to get married." His head pops up and he throws himself out of bed. "You finished packing for the honeymoon right Luke?"
                          
"Of course! I told Calum and Leah to be there at 11." 
                          
"Ok." I shower and then tell Luke to leave. He can't see me in the dress before the wedding. Luke gets dressed and ready and then I hear him leave. This is happening. I am getting married at 18. In a few hours I will be Ms. Abigail Hemmings. Maybe I won't hyphenate the last names. It's way to long. I dry my hair and put it up in twists. I then get into my dress and stare at myself in the mirror for a while. I look gorgeous. I put on my makeup and then look at the clock 10:35. The courthouse is 10 minutes away but in case theres traffic I'll leave now. I walk out my car and get in. I never realized how tight my dress is. I pull out of the driveway and head downtown. I make it downtown and to the courthouse at 10:47. I get out my car and Luke, Calum, and Leahs cars are already here. I walk in and speak with the man at the counter. 
                          
"Hi. I'm here for my marriage license."
                          
"Up to the 4th floor and its the 5th door on your left." 
                          
"Thank you." I walk over to the elevator and push 4. It all starts to sink in. I am making the biggest commitment of my life to a guy I've screwed up so many times with. This isn't right. Luke and I are gonna fight like we have been since we started dating and everything is gonna fall apart. The elevator doors glide open and I stumble out realizing I was crying. I can't do this. I walk to the 5th door on my left. I can't open it. My stomachs drops to the floor and tears glide down my face. Suddenly Leah walks out of the room and sees me standing there with tears in my eyes. 
                          
"Abigail. What the hell?"
                          
"Just leave me alone please. Tell Luke the wedding is off. You can have him." 
                          
"Abby what has gotten into you?" 
                          
"I can't marry him. We have fought so many times I don't want to get in a fight, end up divorced, and never speak to him again. You are better with him then me."
                          
"Abby shut the fuck up! You and Luke have something that Luke and I never would have had. You two can trust each other with everything. I see the way Luke looks at you. Even when Luke and I were together I could tell he wanted to be with you. And when Luke came back from New York I knew you didn't hate him. You could never hate him. You are gonna get your shit together and marry the one guy who will ever love you the same way you love them." She is completely right. I hate to admit because I kinda hate her but she is right. I love Luke. I wipe the tears from my eyes and stand up tall. Leah hugs me awkwardly and then returns to the room. Calum walks out and hooks arms with me. He will walk me down the aisle since my dad can't. The doors open and there, straight ahead of me is Luke. His black tux is stunning and he looks amazing. Seeing him I feel like I'm falling in love all over again. I walk the aisle slowly focusing on my steps. Reaching the make shift alter the official goes over the in sickness and health for better or for worse part like usual then Luke and I begin to exchange vows.
                          
"Abigail. Not only are you my bestfriend but you are my biggest supporter and the love of my life. I fell in love with you slowly. Although I fell in love with you slowly I knew that you were the only girl I could ever love. I want to spend the rest of my days with you and see your perfect face and experience your perfect soul. You have saved me from some of the hardest days of my life and I can't be more thankful to you for that. We have had more ups and downs then a child on a trampoline but our love has only grown stronger. Getting married at 18 is risky but as long as I'm married to you there isn't a risk I wouldn't take. I love you to New York and back. Love, Luke Hemmings." I feel tears in my eyes and then I begin to choke out my vows. 
                          
"Luke. I remember when we were kids and we were the only friends each other had. I have been close to the edge so many times but it was your smile and your voice that helped me wake up each day. I never thought I would fall in love with my bestfriend let alone get married to him. When you left for 2 weeks without contact I entered a dark place that I will never have to enter ever again thanks to you. Before my mother died she told me 3 words. He's the one. I knew instantaneously what she was talking about. She was assuring me that marrying, even though she didn't know, was the right thing to do. I love you more than I have ever loved anyone in my life and I am damn happy I am standing before you at this moment as your bride. Love, Abigail Westone." Unlike me Luke doesn't hold back his tears. He wipes them away quickly and then stares at me. 
                          
"Well I pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride." Luke grabs my waist and pulls me in for a kiss. Our lips collide and everything else vanishes. We are now Mr. and Ms. Luke Hemmings. 
                          
"May I present to you Mr. and Ms. Luke Hemmings." Luke takes my hand and walks we out of the courthouse. We don't say a word to Calum and Leah before getting into our cars and racing each other to the airport. We reach the airport and speed through security. We board our plane and sit next to each other still wearing out wedding attire. I look over at Luke who is already glancing at me.
                          
"Abigail you are beautiful and I am honestly the luckiest man in the world." Luke kisses me and then faces forward. 
                          
"Luke." I say while staring forward. "To New York and back?"
                          
"To New York and back."
