The wedding came sooner than I had realised. I spent almost all my time with Edward so it was hard not to think about anything besides him. The beautiful summer came to an end fast.

One evening, we walked through the park while the brown autumn leaves covered the pathways, and as the sun was setting in the orange sky, I felt so happy. It felt like nothing could take away this feeling.

But I was wrong.

. . . . . . . . . .

"Why did you get your hair cut this length?" grumbled Alice, failing yet again to pin it back into somewhere suitable.

I laughed. "I don't know, I just felt like it."

I saw Alice roll her eyes in the mirror. "Seriously, Rose. Your hair is precious! You can't just go and do something like that! It must have been so beautiful before…"

"Nice." I replied sarcastically.

"Just keep still." She grumbled.

"Ow!" I cried as she pulled my hair a little too hard.

"I told you to keep still." said Alice in a matter-of-fact tone.

I held my tongue but gave her a glare.

Rosalie walked into the room. "Aren't you finished yet, Alice?" she asked.

"If you mean torture – then it's a no." I muttered.

"It's just the hair." said Alice, ignoring me.

"Oh let me." Rosalie stood behind me and pulled even harder than Alice had making me gasp.

"Shut up or Edward will see you!" cried Alice.

"It hurts!" I yelled at her.

"There!" said Rosalie at last pulling my hair into another hair clip.

I stared back at the girl in the mirror… and I couldn't believe it was me. Fake flowers stuck to pins, held my short dark blonde hair back. Make-up brought out my facial features. It was so perfect, like a picture. Next to Rosalie and Alice I looked like I almost fit in with them.

"Wow." I breathed.

"You like it?" Alice grinned.

"Like? I love it!" I jumped up from the chair and hugged them both.

"Hey!" said Alice. "Don't ruin your dress!"

I laughed.

"Come on! Edward's waiting!" exclaimed Rosalie, pulling me towards the door.

"Oh my gosh!" I cried as we came down the stairs into the hallway. I felt my heart speed up.

"Rose, don't do that." Alice sighed.

"Calm down." said Rosalie. "Just wait till you get in there. It'll go fine."

I managed to make it to the car and calm myself down a little on the way. But it was all for nothing once the car stopped.

"Flip!" I gasped, trying to catch my breath.

Everyone was inside the Church apart from Carlisle who was standing outside.

I got out the car slowly afraid of making any sudden movements in case I fell, even though I was surrounded by vampires.

"You look beautiful." exclaimed Carlisle as I made my way towards the doors nervously.

"Yeah, Alice and Rosalie made me a completely different person!" I laughed hysterically and worriedly.

He smiled.

"Alright!" Alice clapped her hands. "Let's get this show on the road!"

"It's time already?" I chocked out nervously.

"It'll be fine." Carlisle reassured me.

Alice and Rosalie stepped through the doors. I could hear music playing from inside.

My eyes widened as I realised what was actually happening. We stepped forward, arm in arm and as my first foot hit the red carpet I looked up, now over the obstacle of the step, to see Edward at the end of the Church.

He was far too much away from the doors, and the music was far too slow. I just wanted to get to him, to feel his hand in mine.

The corners of my lips turned up, as did his. We got closer and closer, and soon I was at the end of the aisle. Only three steps till my Edward.

One. It took all my strength not to run up to him now. I wanted to embrace him, kiss him, and never let go.

Two. I could feel all eyes on me in the Church, but only Edward mattered to me at this moment.

Three. I felt my legs weaken, and Edward's face turned from happiness into worry. I lost my balance and vaguely saw the floor coming towards my face.

I was stopped abruptly before I hit the floor but my vision swam in front of my eyes. It was almost like I felt I was drowning.

And that was when my bliss ended.


I am so evil :P
