The next morning Robyn woke up in daze. She had cried herself to sleep thinking about the day ahead of her. She had still yet to adjust her eyes when she felt Mia jump on top of her in excitement. She saw that she was wearing her bridesmaid dress which was a lovely silk number. It was a blood red colour with gold embroidery around the hem and fitted her chest spectacularly.
'Your getting MARRIED today!!!' Mia said dragging her sleepy best friend out of bed.
'I don't understand, you’re meant to be leaving?' Robyn asked confused.
'I realised that it was selfish of me to try and convince you about leaving. It’s your wedding day and I want to be there with you! Zac...zac will have to find out later I guess.' She said in a whisper.
'Listen, Mia I-..' She was interrupted by Mia who dragged her to the dressing table and plonked her down on the seat.
'Now how do you want your hair?' Robyn could tell Mia was avoiding the conversation and decided to not tell her what was on her mind. She'd find out soon enough.

Taylor woke up happier than he ever had before. His Stag do was nothing special. Just old friends wishing him good luck and how lucky he was to find a girl like Robyn. Taylor agreed entirely with them. He had a spring in his step as he shook his brothers to wake up.
'Fuck off and let me sleep' Zac said groggily.
'Do you even know what today is?' Taylor asked laughing at his brother.
'Errrr......sat-tur-day??' Taylor paused waiting for his brother to realise. 'Oh shit we gotta get you ready!' Zac said standing up trying to get awake. Taylor took a look at his brother instantly loved him. They got their tux on and went to the Church which Robyn had picked out that she wanted to get married in.
As they pulled up to Our Lady's church Taylor noticed paps and fans at the door. He saw how some had tears in their eyes and he sighed and shook his head. He stepped out and ran into the church trying to avoid the screaming girls yelling 'marry me instead!'..'Your making a huge mistake' Zac laughed and commented how desperate they all looked. Taylor didn't care, he just wanted to see Robyn. He got out his cell and texted her saying 'not long now Doll face' he smiled as he smaked his phone closed and made his way to the front of the church whilst greeting guests on the way.
Robyn took out her phone reading all the text she had received. From her mum 'waiting for you at the church sweetie' from Mia 'help I'm stuck in the toilet' ..so typical Mia. She had a new message and caught her breath when she read it was from Tay. 'Not long now Doll face' she felt tears brew in her eyes and noticed the questioning look on Mia's face. She nodded at her to say she's okay and Mia knew not to say anything. As they pulled up outside the Church in the white Roles Royse Phantom Robyn gasped at the amount of fans waiting to see her and most likely throw stuff at her clean white dress. She turned to the body guards who took her hand out of the car and covered her and Mia as they walked to the front of the church. 'Why did Zac have to boast about the wedding on the Hanson forum' Mia muttered under her breath fixing Robyns dress and vale.
'You ready?' Mia said smiling. Robyn looked at her with uncertain eyes and managed to fake a smile.
'Mia you've been my best friend for 6 years. Will you follow me through whatever I decide?' Robyn said grabbing Mias arms and gave a stern shake.
'I said to you already, if you want to stay with Taylor I'll follow you in there and be right behind you.' Robyn sighed and replied 'just promise me that you'll be there no matter what?' Mia nodded and whispered 'I promise' and with that the doors of the Church opened and Robyn turned to walk down the aisle. She had decided on the song 'I don't want to miss a thing' to play as she slowly stepped down the aisle. All eyes were on her and Mia as they paced their way to the front. Robyn looked in the crowd and saw so many faces she knew. The church was packed and she inhaled a deep breath and looked forward. There he was. In all his glory. His hair flopped over his blue eyes and his white shirt contrasted with his blood red cravat. He had a cool and calm smile on his face, she knew he wanted her. Her pace began to slow causing Mia to almost bump into her. Robyn looked down and forced her feet to carry on walking. After what seemed like a mile of walking she finally got to the front. The song ended and Taylor faced Robyn who looked up at him with a small smile. She turned to find Mia sitting away from Zac making Zac give her a questioning look. The priest began the ceremony and Robyn politely turned to face him, slyly catching glimpses of Taylor in the corner of her eye. She was treasuring these moments in her head. The moments she was almost married to Taylor Hanson. It wasn't until the priest said the dreaded words 'if any people know for a reason for these two not to be wed, speak now, or forever hold your peace.' Robyn closed her eyes and tried to picture her future. A future of always being afraid. Worrying about the children, family members and also Taylor. She took a deep breath and spoke the words she never thought she'd say.
'I want to call of the wedding' Robyn's eyes closed as the sound of gasps spread the room. She turned to Taylor whose heart was slowly breaking as the words Robyn said sunk in. She carried on 'Tay, I'm sorry. I can't explain why, but if we get married, it just wouldn't....’she paused not finding the right words to say. “I'm sorry" She broke down in tears in front of all the guests and turned to Mia
'You promised' Mia nodded straight away and gave a genuine apologetic look to Zac. She hurried down the altar with Robyn close behind. Taylor was in shock and felt his heart sink watching Robyn walk away. He didn't care that the crowd was watching and called for Robyn 'Stay with Me? Is that too much to ask?..just please..Stay with me!' He said making his way to her. Robyn shook her head as tears streamed down her face and replied 'no' she turned on her heel and made her way out the door. Zac wasn't going to give up that easy and ran to where Mia and Robyn were going, looking back at his brother who had fallen to his knees in despair. 'MIA! Where are you going?' He yelled running up to the car she was about to get into. Mia turned to him. He deserved a proper goodbye. She stretched on the balls of her feet to hug him. He didn't respond but listened to her whisper 'I'm sorry, I love you' and with that the two girls got into the taxi and Zac heard Mia say 'LA X airport please' his heart jumped and he realised they were leaving. The car drove of and his tears fell from his eyes. 'Don't go' he whispered as Mia drove away and out of his life.
