A/N: Hey! I guess I don't really have all that much to say except that it's set right after the Volturi leaves. Also, to Jacob lovers, I just want you to know that I don't bash Jacob in this, but he's not alive for very long. (So don't be disappointed.) Anyhow, this story isn't all happy-happy even though the first chapter may make it seem that way. You have been warned! (:
Disclaimer: I don't own anything, ever.
P.S. Go Team Edward! Haha… well anyways.

I sat down next to Edward near the pile of burning vampires. It was a nasty sight, and I didn't enjoy it, but I needed to cool off, so to speak. I'd seen a lot today.
The wolves and vampires left already. I took in the sight around me. It was terrible. The burning of flesh started to make me feel queasy. Edward recognized this and picked me up from the ground. I hadn't realized he stood up. I was too busy absorbing my surroundings. He tossed me onto his back and we ran away from the meadow that would be burnt into my memories forever.
I figured we were off to the Cullens' house, but instead, we ended up in our meadow. Edward put me down and sat beside me. I lay down on the wet grass, not caring how dirty I was getting. I was dirty as it was. Edward leaned on his side, supported by his elbow and looked at me for a while.
"Why are you doing this?" He asked me gently.
"What?" I was only looking at the clouds…
"Letting Alice plan the wedding? I know what it is. You just want everyone to be happy. The deal's off."
"What?" I shouted, caught off guard.
"I don't need everyone else happy… I don't care about them. I just want you happy. I can't have you satisfying everyone else's wants and denying your own." I processed this information as he began to lean towards me. "Don't worry. I haven't forgotten your demands," he smiled and placed his lips on my own. His kisses were cold and heavy. It took me a while to realize what he meant. When I finally did, I couldn't pull away. I don't know if it was physically or mentally. Just go for it! It's what you've always wanted! My mind was telling me. I started to give in. No! I told myself. I finally got an opportunity to speak when he moved down to my neck.
"No. Stop," I couldn't help but giggle. I began to push him away. As I knew he would, he backed away.
"What's wrong?" He asked with a concerned look crawling on his face.
"I don't want to do this…" My voice trailed off. I knew I did, but I would NOT deny him of his right to be a virgin on our wedding day. I smiled at the thought.
"Awh… but I want you…" he whined. "Don't you dare do… or not do… this because you're concerned about my beliefs."
"It's not your beliefs I'm concerned about. It's mine. If there's any chance you're not condemned to hell already, I'm not going to take that away from you," I said, smiling at his pitiful face. "I'm going to let Alice plan the wedding. I mean why not? And I'm already leaving Charlie… I don't want to deny him the chance to walk down the aisle with his only daughter. It's what I want," I added when I saw the disappointed look on his face.
"Fine," he gave in reluctantly. "What do you want to do now?" I knew what I wanted to do… check up on Jacob… but I didn't want to upset him too much in one day. I would just have to see him when Edward goes hunting tomorrow.
"I don't know. I'm tired," I yawned. It was six in the evening. Once again, he tossed me on his back and took me to his house. I dismissed myself from the Cullen bunch to go and take a shower upstairs. I knew Charlie would ask questions if I came home smelling like battle. I wrapped myself in a towel and looked at myself in the mirror. I tidied up my hair a bit. Alice popped in and scared me half to death.
"You can't possibly think it's a good idea to go home in that can you?" she looked over at the mess of clothes I had worn earlier. She didn't wait for me to answer. "No you can't. I have some clothes for you in my room. Come on!" She pushed my old clothes into a garbage can that was near them beside the counter.
"You just want me to walk around your house naked?" I asked her disbelievingly.
"Of course not, silly… that's what robes are for!" She grinned brightly. "But first… let's exfoliate!" she slabbed some sort of green facial mask on my face. I hadn't even realized she had anything in her hands. I just sighed. She rubbed it all over my face and wrapped me tightly into a robe that had my initials sewn in it. I fashioned a towel around my head and she said, "Now you're ready." I glanced over at myself in the mirror and shuddered. I gave in and we began our human-paced walk down the long hall to the two flights of stairs that would lead us to her room.
As we passed Edward's room, his door opened. I froze, speechless. Edward eyed my body from top to bottom. "I'm guessing this is a bad time, then…" he said slowly.
"Kind of… yes…" I replied. He stifled a laugh.
"Well your father called. Just thought you should know," he said, trying to hide his smile.
"Mmm-hmm," I said impatiently. "What about?" The door at the end of the hallway near the stairs opened and a widely grinning Emmett stepped out. He burst into a loud laughter. The rest of the Cullens were upstairs in a heartbeat at the sound of his thunderous boom.
"What's all the commotion?" Esme asked, looking at Emmett, then at me. "Oh…" My cheeks became a bright red color and I ran into Edward's room. Alice said something quiet and cheerful to the rest of the Cullen family and joined Edward and me in his room. I crossed my arms and looked bitterly from Alice to Edward.
"Well… I'll just go get the clothes and bring them here, instead," she let out a nervous laugh and disappeared from the room. I sat down on his big, black couch. I closed my eyes and let out a sigh. I felt the weight of Edward's arm fall to my shoulder. I looked over at him.
"Are you alright?" he asked me.
"Yeah… No, I was only slightly humiliated," I said sarcastically.
"I think you'd make a fine alien," he said calmly.
"Well let's see how you like it. Prepare to exfoliate!" I dabbed a little of the still-wet face mask off of my face and put it at the tip of his nose. He touched it and pulled back his finger to examine it. He looked back at my face and started laughing. I laughed as well. He leaned over and pressed his cold lips to mine. I pulled away when the door opened. It was Alice, holding various garment bags.
"Geez. Thanks for all your help Edward," Alice glared at him. He just sat looking innocently. She placed the boxes on the ground and walked over to him. She reached out a finger and wiped off a bit of green from when we kissed. "Oh, I see how it is." She looked back and forth from me to him. She shook her head in a disappointed manner and shooed Edward out of his room, and the smothering began!
