Mixed and Muddled

Second story I've published on here. This one is not entirely complete and I'm hoping that you guys will help motivate me and help me come up with a few new ideas.

So please review. I'd love to hear your opinions!

Chapter 1 – Talking with Rosalie

Bella POV

It had been a very long summer in Forks. Edward and Alice were arguing over every little detail of my wedding. They promised nothing big but Emmett and I aren't entirely sure that they will follow through on that promise.

Alice is always so sure that she knows what's best for everyone and is almost positive that this is what I will want in the long run. Edward is constantly reading Emmett's mind just to see how much that this is all bugging me and to determine what Emmett wants. It would probably be a lot easier on him if he could read my mind; I am however rather glad that he cannot read my mind. It's better this way-for his sanity, at least-if he remains unable to read my mind. He can't hear my inappropriate thoughts about Emmett this way.

"BELLA! I've been looking for you for over an hour. Where did you go? No, never mind that right now. I need your help. I'm desperate. I'll beg if I need to." Rosalie looked as though her head would explode if she didn't calm down-and soon. I didn't see any other way to calm her down…

I sighed, "Rosalie, if you are going to talk to me, you need to stop hyperventilating. Okay?"

"Okay…I…think…I'm…okay…now… But I do still need to talk to you. I have to tell Carlisle something…but I'm not sure how. I don't want him to freak out on me over it… I don't know how to tell him…It'll break his heart…" She paused, giving me a couple of seconds to think.

"This is about you and Jake, isn't it?" I questioned, waiting for an answer.

She fidgeted, "I thought that Edward was the mind-reader and Alice was the psychic, so how did you know?"

"Well for one, Jake is my best friend and secondly, he is driving the rest of the pack crazy when they are all running together. Jared and Paul are on the verge of killing him so Sam asked me to try and calm him down." I stated.

"Oh, I didn't realise it would be driving them crazy. I already know that we are the weirdest couple in history but I thought they were okay with it."

"Hey! Why are we always left out of the girl talk? That's not fair." Alice complained in her pixie-like voice, as she walked towards with Sue, Leah, Kim, Claire, Esme and Emily following closely behind her. "I have some new ideas for your wedding, Bella. Is it okay if I run them by you quickly?"

"I just want everything to be perfect." She pouted.

"Alice, you do know that you have a wee tendency to go overboard on anything like this?" Emmett laughed as he walked over to greet us. He wrapped me in a hug that would make any other human cringe with pain. He looked down at my ankle, "You haven't hurt yourself again, have you darling?"

"I just tripped on my way into the house. It's nothing honestly. Carlisle said that I'll be back to myself sooner than you can say "Switzerland". Enough about me. How was your hunting trip with the boys?" I reached up and tried to kiss his lips, "Before you answer, would you possible feel like shrinking 12 inches, honey?" I flailed slightly as Emmett lifted me up to his height.

After locking his lips to mine for what seemed like an eternity, he spoke gently to me, "It was great." Seeing my pout that he stopped kissing me he picked me up again and kissed me more patiently for another few minutes.

He turned to Alice, "Would you mind me stealing her for a few hours?" He watched Alice's face change dramatically. "Thanks Alice, I knew you'd understand. Bella, we should get going before she tries to tear me limb from limb. Rose, you can come too. There is someone waiting for you." He pointed to the end of the driveway.

"Honestly, is there anyone who doesn't know?" Rosalie sighed

"Know what?" Alice asked, seeming confused.
