"Alice, the dress is fine, the church has enough flowers, and everyone's here. Can't we go yet?" Alice shook her head at me as she groomed me.

"But this is your guys' first wedding, it has to be perfect."

"It already is, Alice. Everything is immaculate and better than perfect. I promise, we'll never forget it, okay?"

"Alright, I guess we can go now. Let's get you down the aisle." Alice pushed me and me beautiful dress towards the door.

I was met by Charlie at the door of the church. His face was so troubled as he looked sadly at me. Aha! Exactly, Charlie had something bad to say about Edward and that's why she didn't want me to go out there. Geez, what could be so bad that she would worry over what I would do?

"What's the matter, dad?"

"Honey, it's Jake."

"What did he do this time?"

"Bells, he's missing."

"What?" this is what Alice didn't want me to know.

"He was last seen running north. Billy thinks that he ran away."

"Why? Why would he run away?"

"Can you think of any reason?" Charlie gave me a stare and I knew the reason. It was me getting married to Edward that made him run away like this. "Billy did say that Edward sent Jake an invitation, he said it had a letter in it but didn't say what it said."

"A letter?" my voice was very confused.

"Alice, can I use your phone for a minute?"

"Um, Bella, don't you think this can wait?" Alice took one look at me and decided not to push it. "Apparently not."

I walked out of the church doors as soon as I got the phone. I stood outside and called the one person I wanted answers from, Edward.

He answered on the first ring. "Yes, Bella?"

"Why did you send Jake an invitation with a letter in it? What did you write in the letter? Why didn't you tell me about it sooner?"

"Relax, Bella. I was just being polite," he said in a calming voice that might have calmed me if I wasn't so upset.

"Why didn't you tell me about it then?"

"Because I didn't think that it was that big of a deal."

"Well, Edward, it is now. Jake is missing! He ran away!" I said shrilly, on the verge of histerics.

Edward didn't respond to what I said, he was just silent.

"You knew! You knew, Edward! Why didn't you tell me?"

"Because I knew that it would upset you."

"Were you ever going to tell me?"

"Yes, I was actually going to take you with me to look for him."

"You were?"

"I was going to try," he admitted.

"Thank you, Edward."

"You're welcome."

"I'm sorry Edward, but I have to call Sam right now. I'll be done in a couple of minutes, okay?"

"Okay. I love you."

"I love you too."
