Alexia's P.O.V
Mum and dad apparently knew that Luke was going to ask me to marry him, as Luke had been to ask dad's permission before he popped the question to me. It must have been torture for mum as she is so used to sharing everything with me unless dad didn't tell her until it was happening and she couldn't spill the beans. I don't mind. It was a nice surprise and I loved every moment of it.
We are currently heading home because his parents and my parents are waiting there for us before we are going out for a celebratory lunch. If I had to be honest, I would have loved to stay and just be me and him all alone, but we have all the time in the world later on to do just that.
We arrived and walked into the house and could hear all the parents sitting in the living room talking and laughing. I whispered to Luke to try and get him to come with me.
"Last chance. We can still make a run for it and just spend time

Two months laterLuke's P.O.VMum and auntie Anne went all out with the engagement party. There were people here who I had never met in my life and Alexia seemed just as confused as to who some of these people were. We decided that we would stay in our corner together to avoid any further confusion and weirdness from happening like earlier on. Mum, dad and Alexia's parents were chatting away with everyone while we were sitting there enjoying talking to each other and the few friends we had gotten invited to the party. We made plans to go out afterwards and have some fun on our own away from this party where we could properly celebrate our engagement with the people important to us.I also need to slip away sometime so I can get the honeymoon arranged. Alexia had said that she didn't want anything fancy and dad had said we could borrow the holiday home if we wanted to, so the honeymoon plan was s

Right before he rushes into the church where the wedding is being heldDonald's P.O.VI know just showing up was a bad idea, but I didn't think that this would have happened. According to the doctors of the small medical centre on the island that the plane crashed on, I was a miracle awakening. I wasn't supposed to be alive or even awake at that. When they found the plane, they found the other people on board lying around the plane after they were thrown from it. I had been in the bathroom and wasn't thrown from the plane. The piece of wreckage broke off with me in it and landed in a tree where they told me that they had found me hanging. I was barely breathing when they got me down.They didn't think I would ever wake up or anything, having been in the condition that I was, but they couldn't just shut everything off, so they kept me alive all these years trying to find my family, but without an

Anne's P.O.VAll throughout the whole wedding and after party mum refused to speak more than the necessary two words with dad. It was turning into kind of an awkward situation, but thankfully, also the end of the party. I asked Liam if he would mind having dad stay with us for the time being, as I knew that mum wouldn't allow him to go and stay with her and he agreed.Luke and Lexi had booked a hotel room for the evening and would be going to the airport tomorrow for the start of their honeymoon, so that was one less thing to have to worry about currently.Darren seems to have taken a fancy towards his grandfather and they have both been talking about something for the last few hours. It's good that he is bonding with Darren but I also wanted to find out more about where he was and what he was doing during the time he had been away. He had promised that he would be telling me later and now was definitely later.

Anne's P.O.VEven after hearing everything and saying that she believes dad, she still refuses to speak to dad besides the normal conversations that she feels forced to have with him. She stays in Harold's house and he stays with her. Never understood why they didn't sell one of the two houses and stay in the other, but it is all making sense now. She had wanted to keep one in place for when they needed to escape from something. What is worse is that she doesn't even allow dad to go and stay at their house when she isn't even feeling the need to go back there. Dad is staying with me but I have had enough of this. This needs to be sorted out and fast. Mum just has to pick one of the two men and I hope she picks dad. If she doesn't, I have no idea how I might react, but I do expect the worse reaction there is. I might never talk to her again.Since she had been hiding out at Harold's house without answering any calls or text m

I have been stuck here for the last three hours and nothing happened, nobody stopped to help as expected because with the rain it was already darker than usual and the fact that I must have broken something because the car shut off and now it won't start again really isn't helping. Oh and I am bored. I have nothing to do and nobody to come rescue me.I doubt if Liam has even noticed that I was staying away longer than necessary. I was hoping that he would have been here by now.I tried breaking the windows but that wasn't happening and the door wouldn't open with it being stuck three quarters of the way into the ditch. The electric windows aren't working because the car won't start, so I can't even just open them and climb out. I laughed at myself because I felt really stupid at the moment. Before long, the tears were back again.Mum had chosen Harold. She didn't even think twice and just blatantly chose him over dad. Dad was the man who stood by her

Donald's P.O.VLiam told me that Annie had been out for a while now and when he tried to call her the phone rang in the room upstairs. With no means of communication, he decided to call Harold and ask if Anne was still there, but he said that she had left maybe more than four hours ago already. The distance between her home and Harold's place wasn't that long, so it couldn't have taken Anne more than fifteen minutes to get home. Liam and I both started worrying and we decided that Liam would go and drive the route and I would stay here for the time being, in case she comes home while he is still out and searching and also to keep an eye on Darren.He had been out searching for barely a few minutes when he called me and told me to get a doctor to the house and that he had found Annie inside her car in a ditch off the road just about halfway. She had fallen asleep and he said that he could see that she had been crying. He woul

Mum decided and had chosen Harold over dad, which made me mad at first, but after the talk I had with dad and the fact that he seemed fine with it calmed me down a little, but I mean I never see him anymore these days, as he is most of the day and sometimes until very late at night at the office doing who knows what, because it is certainly not work stuff because I have been handling most of that again and I must say it does feel good to be back, even if it is only partly back. Having my darling little girl back was great. They stayed for about a week while the sale of their house was being finalized. Luke had seen the house and thought that it was the perfect one and had started the process of buying it before the wedding so that they could move in not long after the wedding. It was so romantic. He even wants to have some renovations done on the house but Lexi needs to decide this and, for this fact, she first needs to see the house.They both als

Darren's P.O.VWhen mum began crying, I panicked. Did I do something wrong? Did she find out I was lying about my homework?"Mum, please don't cry. Did I do something wrong?"She didn't look mad. Maybe I'm seeing things that aren't true."No, you didn't do anything wrong. It's just that you haven't said 'I love you' to me in six years."Come to think of it, I realised that she was right. I hadn't said it in a long time and I didn't exactly show it to her either.Wow, I'm a horrible child. I love my mum. She should know this even if I forget to tell her."Mum, you should know I love you even if I forget to tell you sometimes. You are my one and only mother. Nobody else would still love me after everything."She looked happy about that. I gave her another hug and just held on to her as tightly as I could. Dad must already be in bed and, judging from mum's clothes, she wante
