Bella's POV

My wedding.

My…Wedding.

The words seemed so foreign, so unfamiliar, but in just fourteen days I would be married to the love of my life. My soul mate, my perfect match, whatever you wanted to call him. Edward was ecstatic when I had timidly accepted his proposal, and upon accepting, I saw the horrifying images of white poufy dresses, makeup, and Alice…She would be having so much fun with me. And she was. I had tried on at least 100 dresses in the past month, Alice determined to find the perfect one. Even after a stern reprimand from Edward, she continued her mad wedding frenzy. A flurry of veils, shoes, flowers, invitations, cake flavors, and much more had been my life for the past couple months. Alice had left me just minutes ago, squealing with excitement after I tried on hopefully the last dress. When it zipped, she emitted a loud squeaking noise, and practically broke my floor dancing with excitement. I, too, loved the dress. The back lined with lace, the front not too simple, but not too extravagant. I was glad that the dress shopping was over, and I could move on to more important things. Like a wedding gift for Edward. I already knew that he had some rather large presents in store for me. A shiny yellow sports car in the garage, jewelry of the finest gems, and with a little help from Alice, a closet full of brand new designer clothing. I couldn't offer him anything large, not even a ring for our wedding. Alice had picked it out with me in June, and she refused to let me pay. Thankfully, my college fund was not going anywhere, so I decided to buy him something simple, yet beautiful, just like him. A silver watch with small diamonds encircling the face. I had spotted the watch while ring shopping with Alice, and in the light the rainbow dancing off of the piece paralleled with Edward's marble skin in the sunlight. It reminded me of him in every way, and I had decided that I would purchase it for him, a small token of thanks for the forever he would be giving me.

Monday morning I was exhausted from waking up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat several times. I had dreamed of falling on the aisle, cutting my hand, sending all of our vampire guests on a frenzy. I assured myself several times that it was just a silly nerve induced dream, but in the back of my mind, I knew it was a very real possibility. I ate breakfast with Charlie, who seemed grim. Most likely from the upcoming wedding and the fact that he would have to wear a tux.

"Hey dad?" I asked through a mouthful of cereal.

"Hm?" he responded tersely.

"I'll make us a lasagna tonight…okay?" I asked. I wanted to be caring for him before I would have to leave him.

"Alright, thanks Bells. I'll be home around 6:30."

"See you dad" I said with a small wave, and grabbed my car keys.

I drove to the familiar jewelry shop that my neighbor owned. He smiled kindly at me as I entered the shop.

"Hi, Bella!" He greeted me happily.

"Hello Mr. Ambrose" I replied, shaking his hand. There were few other customers and they were all quietly browsing ring cases.

"What can I help you with?" He asked, "Did the ring turn out okay, does it not fit properly?" He asked, his eyebrows drawing together.

"No, nothing like that" I assured him. "I'm here to buy a watch for Edward."

Edward had known Mr. Ambrose for a long time, and I'm sure that he had made some recent purchases for me, probably bracelets, earrings, necklaces…I had to stop myself from thinking about the cost of them. Knowing Edward, the gems were probably imported from somewhere, and hand crafted for me, making them many of thousands of dollars per piece.

"Bella?"

"Yes?" I responded quickly, being snapped out of my trance.

"What kind of watch do you prefer?"

"Oh, I had one picked out already"

"Wonderful! Show me?" He requested. We made our way to the men's watches and I found the piece that had interested me. My heart fluttered as I saw it again in all its glory and striking color. Who knew that such a plain watch could emit a rainbow of color?

"Ah, yes, the Rolex Oyster Perpetual" He said, taking the watch gently from its case. My phone vibrated in my pocket, but I ignored it, Alice was probably calling and telling me not to buy the watch with my money. I could almost see her grabbing the credit card and speeding to the shop. It rang a second time, but I ignored it once more, entranced with the diamonds.

"I'm in love with it" I said simply.

"Well Bella, normally these run for about $12,000, but for you, $10,000. It's the frequent buyer discount" He added with a smirk. The Cullen family had been his customers for years, and he appreciated their business. I handed over my mere college fund, and in return, the watch was given to me in a beautiful dark blue box with Edward's gift. I shook his hand, and began my careful walk back to the car, now was no time for falling. I shuffled to the door, and reached out for the handle, only to be met by a rough shove back into the store, sending me reeling to the floor. I looked up in shock, and saw four men in black ski masks clad with crowbars and hammers. My mouth hung open and I realized that I was in the midst of a burglary.
