"It's time."

That sounded ominous.

"You good Aws?" I nodded and smiled at the blonde through the mirror. "Yeah I'm good. Let's do this shit."

I turned round and shot him two thumbs up with a nervous smile. "You'll be fine dude, I promise. Just go out there and marry the shit out of him." Patty grinned.

I hit his arm lightly then pulled him into a hug.

"Thanks Patty."

"Anytime."

"You ready?" We pulled apart and looked at who spoke. "As ready as I'll ever be." I answered Otto. With a thudding heart I followed my two friends out my house and towards the waiting taxi. In my most formal suit I felt slightly out of place but Otto promised that he would bring jeans and a sweater for after the ceremony.

Fun times.

Shaking with nerves I forced myself to walk up the steps to the beat of the classic bride theme music. Yes I was basic fight me. I wanted that even if I wasn't your normal bride. I mean, we were getting married in a band stand in the middle of a park for fucks sake!

After what seemed like forever I reached my radiant husband to be. Lacing my fingers through his we stood side by side, facing away from our guests.

This was it.

"We are gathered here today to join these two men in holy matrimony." The priest started. Throughout the ceremony I glanced at Geoff through the corner of my eye, blushing when he looked back.

I zoned back in when the priest got to the important bit.

"Now for your prepared vows. Who would like to go first?"

"I will." Geoff said with a smile. I smiled back and gave him a little nod.

"Back home my life was dull and the same stuff everyday. Yes I had friends and popularity but I wasn't...I was content, I wasn't happy. I moved here and thought it would be the same thing all over again. The same jerks, the same hate, the same everything but then I met you.

"Yes I know I was weird at first and I know you and your friends thought I was incredibly freaky but then we had that project. I don't always believe in fate but now I do. We spent time together, got to know each other, actually talked to each other and it was the best thing that ever happened to me. I fell in love with the most beautiful person I ever laid eyes on and I wouldn't give him up for anything."

By the end of his speech, our parents weren't the only ones in tears. I giggled softly and blushed, wiping my eyes with my free hand. He was so sweet and my heart swelled up with love.

"Geoff. What is there to say? I must've said it all before, the same things every day for the past few years. I guess I should tell you how I feel. Whenever I'm with you it's just us. We could be in a room full of people and the only thing I would be able to see is you. Occasionally I've thought of myself as a moth and you the light. I find myself attracted to you and you alone. It's like you're my personal light source." I frowned and stopped.

"Wait, I'm getting off track. When I'm with you I feel a warm feeling spread through my entire being. It warms me and fills me with joy and happiness. I feel safe with you Geoff, you keep me safe, keep me sane, keep me honest. You make me powerless and anyone can see, we're simply meant to be."

"Do you, Geoffrey Donald Wigington take Awsten Constantine Knight to be your lawful wedded husband. For better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health until death do you part?"

"I do." The words fell from his perfectly sculpted lips. "And do you, Awsten Constantine Knight, take Geoffrey Donald Wigington to be your lawful wedded husband. For better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health until death do you part?"

"I do." I echoed. "Then by the power vested in me I pronounce you man and husband. You may now kiss the groom." With a passionate yet soft kiss, we sealed our promise. "I love you Awsten Wigington."

"I love you too Geoff Wigington."

-

It's time. Time for the first dance. "Babe you ready?"

I turned around and opened the door to greet my husband. My husband.

"Yes I am, Mr Wigington, are you?"

"I am, Mr Wigington." Geoff smiled and held out his hand. "It's time for our first dance love."

Together we stepped out of the reception hall and outside onto the grass, where night had fallen and the stars had taken up their positions in the moonlit sky.

I placed my arms around his neck and kissed him softly. Geoff snaked his arms around my waist and kissed me back.

Before it could go any further the music started. Rule the world, our song. "May I have this dance?"

"You may." I giggled. Swaying gently side to side we both owned the night, only stopping to take mini breaks and greeting guests.

The best night of my life with the most amazing man.

That night we lit up the sky and ruled the world.

"I miss you Gee."

I sigh and sit on the slightly damp grass, legs crossed.

"Remember our wedding day? It's been a while, hasn't it. Can't remember exactly how long which just goes to show I'm a shit husband. I'll remember when I get home and then kick myself because I can't come back and tell you." I pause.

"Well, I can and because I love you, I will. It seems weird to me. When I first properly met you I thought you were a bit weird but, after what happened with Ciara that one time, my view on you completely changed. I got to know the real you and that's who I fell in love with."

Maybe I can't remember because it seems like just yesterday I married the man of my dreams. My sunshine, my beacon of hope, my love.

"Remember how we danced?" I smile. The box in my hands feels heavier than usual.

The pictures inside are the same as the ones in my room, except these are copies. Geoff doesn't need to know that though.

"No matter what, Rule The World will always be our song and no one can take that away from us."

I don't know what else to say. I've said everything and done everything I need to. I opt for placing the box down in front of the stone and standing up.

I think about what I'm doing here. It's been months. He's been gone for months. I will always love him but it's tearing me apart. He always will be my beacon of hope but...not forever.

There's nothing left here for me. Not anymore. Sighing I try hard not to cry as I struggle out my departing words. "I don't think I can do this anymore. You may be my true love, my light, my world but it hurts. Every fucking day it hurts even more. I come here every week to talk to you and pretty much everyday triggers something, a memory or a flashback. The pain is immense and it numbs the pain in my heart. Maybe if I don't come here any more, I can finally get over you, I can finally move on and maybe I can smile everyday. I love you, I always will no matter what. Forget everything else I'm saying if it hurts and focus on the fact that I love you, but I can't spend my whole life hung up on you. I'm so sorry. Goodbye Gee, I'll never forget you."

I look down at the calligraphy on my wrist, the same inscription on the inside of my ring.

Without looking back, I turn and walk away.

Simply meant to be.

Narrator's POV

A gust of wind hangs in the air, sadly watching the weeping man walk away. It then turns to blow over the box, lifting the wooden lid up. Photos of smiling faces, so full of life and love, fly through the air in a spiral up to the sky. Up towards the shining sun acting as a source of hope.

Spiralling up to a deep blue sky. The kind of deep blue you get lost in.

The kind of deep blue you see through a dirty school window, battered with rain.

The kind of deep blue you fall in love with.
