I sat on my bed, hugging my knees to my chest. What is wrong with you? I asked myself.

It was the day of Bella and Edward's wedding. I could hear Edward, Emmett and Jasper in the room to my left and Alice and Bella in the room to my right. I was alone, sitting here in mine and Emmett's room. I looked around at the colour co-ordinated furniture and perfect finishings. I should be happy that I have so much. A husband, an amazing family, but I felt empty still.

I couldn't understand. Bella had everything she wanted. A family – namely us – and a perfect husband who loved her more than anything in the world. Why did she want to throw away everything to become one of us? Wasn't she happy enough? There are many people in the world who haven't even got half what she's got and yet she still wants more.

Shut up Rosalie Hale, I told myself, Shut up and stop being so horrible!

I sat up and brushed myself down. I was wearing a gorgeous floor length dress; Alice had bought me especially for the wedding. It was a lovely silvery colour that went perfectly with my skin tone. My hair was lightly pinned up; I was very pleased with, because I had done it. Taking a few deep breaths I went to go and see the boys.

"Can I come in?" I asked, knocking on the door.

"Yes!" I heard Jasper call from inside. They were all standing in the middle of Jasper's bedroom, wearing suits and attaching flowers to their lapels.

"You guys ok?" I asked. Jasper nodded and Emmett came over to take my hand. He leant down to kiss me and I replied enthusiastically. Someone coughs, that makes us look up.

"Excuse us," Jasper said, sounding pissed off and nervous at the same time, "But we have a wedding to put on." I smiled up at Emmett and he grinned back at me.

"Good luck Edward." I said, turning to him and giving him a brief hug. He smiled at me, eyes shining with nerves and happiness. Then I followed the boys out the room.

I left them to go downstairs. I could hear lots of people talking downstairs. Random comments came wafting up the stairs.

"Lovely place, isn't it?"

"Amazing decorations, absolutely perfect."

"Just look at the flowers!"

Alice was going to have lots of compliments when she got downstairs. I sighed and turned away.

I knocked on the door where Alice and Bella were. Bella was sitting at Alice's dressing table. She looked beautiful, Alice had definetly learned some beauty tips from somewhere.

"Hi," I said, entering, "Can I help?" Alice looked at me.

"Oh yes please Rose!" Alice exclaimed, "Can you do her hair?" I nodded and walked towards Bella. Alice showed me what she wanted done and I set to work.

When I was done Alice asked me to get Bella's dress. I left them and walked swiftly to Alice's real room.

The dress was hanging up outside the wardrobe, wrapped up in its bag. I opened it and took it. It almost brought tears to my eyes – if I could cry – because all I could think about was my human past.

I could have been a bride. A beautiful,blushing bride with everyone's eyes on me. But it was all ruined. All ruined by Roy, and his disgusting friends. The dirty slime he was, he left me for dead. I bet that if he had lived he would have done that to far more beautiful women like myself. I put those poor women at ease for the rest of their lives. Just out of curiosity I held the dress up to myself, and imagined myself. But I couldn't picture it. I had wanted a grand wedding, with everyone attending. Instead I pictured Vera and her carpenter for a husband and their beautiful baby boy. Oh, how I wished I was her now.

"Rosalie?" I heard someone call. Hastily putting the dress back into the bag, I left the room. Alice was walking down the corridor. I smiled at her, trying to hide my chagrin.

"Sorry, I forgot which room it was in!" I lied, handing the dress over. Alice looked at me suspiciously and then turned away back to her dressing room with a quick word of thanks.

I stopped for a moment, waiting for Alice to enter the room so I could be alone. I took a few deep breaths. I can do this, I told myself, Just keep calm.

Downstairs I sat in the second row, next to Esme and Carlisle and behind Emmett, Jasper and Edward. Everyone was seating, waiting for the bride. When the wedding march started everyone rose and turned around. Alice came dancing down the stairs, light and beautiful in a new bridesmaid dress and then Bella… Accompanied by Charlie. Everyone aahed and oohed at Bella. I turned quickly to glance at Edward. He looked so happy. A happiness, nothing like me or Emmett could ever have. A true, long lasting love like nothing before. Vampire and human, accidentally in love.
