Breaking Dawn

Chapter 1,

Tying the Knot

Disclaimer; Twilight is an original series written by Stephanie Meyer. I do not own any of these characters.

I can't believe it's all happened so fast. It seems like just yesterday that I came to live in Forks with Charlie. Was it really all that long ago? A lot has happened since then. Meeting Edward, the whole James fiasco, catching up with the Vulturri in Italy, and now… now I'm getting married. I starred at myself in the mirror. I looked like a whole new person. My hair, my nails, even my skin looked so perfect. Now, I no longer wonder what I will look like as vampire, I'm sure that it'll be a lot like this. Aside from my amazing dress and wedding that Alice planned, there was something else on my mind. Jacob.

I haven't talked to him since that day in his room. How could I be so selfish!? I know that I love Edward and that I'm doing the right thing in marrying him, after all, I can't live without him. But there's something in the pit of my stomach that aches and screams out at me, telling me to go see Jake for one last time. But I can't, not now. It's too late. Besides, no one even knows where he is. Letting myself get so close to him was a mistake. Because of me Jacob ran away, and after tonight, I will never be able to see him again.

Edward was planning on turning me tonight, before we leave for our "honeymoon". In all honesty I was nervous. VERY nervous. It's not that I'm afraid. Or that I don't' think that Edward is capable of successfully turning me into one of the Cullens. I'm just afraid of leaving. When I told Renee about getting engaged, she wasn't ready to hear it. I had defiantly put her and Charlie into shock with the news. Once she was calmed down enough she came down to visit me here in Forks. One of the things she told me was that once I got married my life will never be the same and that I'm going to have to leave a lot behind. She had no idea how true that really was.

What I need is to talk to Jacob. I really miss him. Sometimes when Edward was out hunting and I was alone, I would think about him. The way it used to be, just the two of us. Working on the bikes, riding lessons, and all the memories would lead back to that last night I had with him. I began to wonder what he would look like standing there, waiting for me at the alter in a tux….

"Bella… Bella… BELLA!" I heard Alice's voice coming from behind me. I turned around to face her and she smiled back.

"You look perfect!" she said a little too enthusiastically as she giggled. "Edward's going to jump through the roof when he sees you! Are you nervous?" she exclaimed while she fixed one of my curls and smoothed out my dress. Everything had to be perfect with her.

"Yes" I admitted. Her expression changed every suddenly I knew that Edward would be listening to our conversation, and so did she so I continued before either of them started to jump to any conclusions. "I know that I'm making the right decision in marrying Edward. It's just so hard to let go of everything else. Living with your family will be a great way to spend the rest of eternity, but I can't help but miss everyone else." Her eyes were sympathetic and she was about to reply, but I didn't let her. I wanted to finish what I was saying. "Jacob running away was a rude awakening for me. It made me get a taste of what I would be feeling after the wedding." By now, I had begun to cry. I shouldn't have mentioned Jacob. It was such an uncomfortable subject for the Cullens especially Edward who, no doubt heard what I was saying. I could just pisture him standing at the alter with his usual worried expression that he wore when Jake was mentioned. I'm going to miss everyone so much. Charlie, Renee, heck! I'll even miss Mike! It was so quit in the room that I jumped at the sound of Alice's voice.

"Bella, it's ok to be scared, we all understand what your going through but if you not ready then­-" I cut her off

"No!" I groaned. "I'm ready, no matter how long I wait; I'm never going to get rid of this feeling, that's just the way it is… The way it has to be." At that moment, we heard the organ start playing the beginning of "Here Comes the Bride". I jumped up in panic.

"Alice! My make-up! OH NO!" I walked over to the mirror to see the same beautiful girl as before. I heard giggles coming from the other side of the room. I turned around to face Alice.

"I took the liberty of using water-proof." She giggled. "Come on, he's waiting." I wiped the tears off my face very carefully before walking over to the main entrance where Charlie was waiting. I opened the door of the tiny waiting room where Alice and I had just been and suddenly it all became so real. There was Charlie standing in the entrance shaking with nerves. He didn't notice me at first but once he did, he straightened up and pulled something out of the inner pocket of his jacket. He took a large gulp of some unknown substance and placed the container back in his jacket pocket. When he turned back to face me, he had tears in his eyes. As he pulled the veil over my face, he whispered, "I love you" in my ear. I was caught off guard; I've never seen him showing so much emotion. It must have been hard for him to say

I kissed him on the cheek before he the dropped the veil over my entire face."Me too Dad" His only reaction was a wide smile. I began to laugh as we emerged from the small entrance and into the aisle of the church. I kept my eyes on the ground to ensure I wouldn't fall flat on my face. It worked. I didn't even realize that I was already at the front of the church until Charlie let go of my arm and walked over to his seat. I looked up into the most beautiful pair of topaz eyes and nearly melted. This is it. This is the person I will be spending the rest of my life with. I thought to myself, half-smiling.

Looking at Edward, I forgot about all the people watching, and the ceremony that was now in the process. All I could think of was us. Edward looked almost as happy as I was. His eyes were gleaming and he looked as though he was restraining a smile. My mind wandered further and further until it finally brought me back to that day in the meadow. It was wondrous, almost as if it was happening for the first time. When I came back to reality, I realized that Edward was no longer beaming with excitement like I was. I looked deep into his eyes, he smiled my favorite crooked smile to try and fool me into believing everything was okay. I didn't buy it, not for one second.

The ceremony was almost done now, it's only a matter of minutes until I hear the anticipated words; "You may now kiss the bride." All I want now is to get this over with, to be married and get Edward to tell me what had happened. I heard the door to the church open and was immediately annoyed. How could someone have the nerve to come so late to my wedding, they might as well have not showed up at all! I wanted to see who it was just so I could scold them later—maybe.

I turned my head and nearly fainted at who I saw. Thoughts were swirling through my head. Memories flashed through my mind. I must be dreaming. This isn't possible…He's back…Jake, he's back…My thoughts were interrupted:

" And you may now kiss the bride"

The words came from a distance. I slowly turned my head to look back at my groom. On the surface he looked as confused as everyone else at my delay, but looking into his eyes, I could see him pleading with me to come back. It was heart breaking. I looked back at Jacob and suddenly felt anger towards him. He just left, ran away without a trace. And now he comes back to ruin my wedding. I wasn't going to let that happen. For now, I refuse to have any feelings for that dog. With that as my last thought, I lifted the veil myself and leaned in to kiss Edward so passionately it hurt. Now I definitely couldn't wait to leave. All I want now is to be alone with my husband. I want to forget about Jacob Black.
