Bachelor Party

"Don't worry, Edward. Everything will be just fine. Trust me."

It was easy for Jasper to say, with Alice being at home and able to check up on him anytime. Emmett and Jasper really had no clue what it felt like to leave Bella behind. Rosalie and Alice could take care of themselves. I would be lucky if Bella made it through the night with no bumps or bruises. After all, it wasn't as if my sisters slept anyway. I knew Bella would have a hard time sleeping. Why did I let Emmett talk me into leaving the night before the wedding? Why couldn't we leave two days before the wedding?

"You can do this, Edward. You will make it through one night without Bella," Jasper said to me as he climbed into the front seat.

As the three of us got into the jeep, I leaned over the backseat, still staring at Bella's house.

I felt Emmett looking at me in the rearview mirror as he started the jeep.

"What, Emmett?" I gave him a quiet glance.

Edward, chill. Alice is watching out for her. Beside bro, Esme said that she would stop by from time to time to check on her.

Oh, great! Now we can start the party. Stupid me, why didn't I think about that before. I shouldn't have my family babysitting Bella. I should have been with her, not having a bachelor party. I should be there humming her lullaby to help her sleep, watching her and taking in every bit of her sweet scent. I should be feeling her smooth, warm skin beneath my stone cold hand. I suddenly felt an energy coming off Jasper.

"Jasper cut the crap. I'm not in the mood for whatever energy you're trying to spread."

"Sorry, Edward. I am trying to help you ease your anxiety right now."

Easing my anxiety wasn't a good idea. As Emmett turned the corner, and Bella's house was no longer in sight, I felt alone and empty. It had been only ten minutes away from Bella and I was already losing my mind. I didn't feel like celebrating the whole bachelor party thing that my brothers planned for tonight. I laid myself down and turned my back to them. I didn't feel like talking or looking at them.

"Should we say something or just let him be?" Emmett asked Jazz.

"Just let him be right now. You push too hard and he is going to push back. You know Edward has a short temper."

I sighed to myself and closed my eyes. I wished so badly that I could dream, dream about my beautiful Bella. I guess thinking about her would have to do for now. If only it could be tomorrow already

I thought about her beautiful chocolate brown eyes and her soft, sweet tasting lips. I loved how warm her pale skin felt against mine. I loved it when I was near and could hear her heart hammering against her chest. I loved it when she said my name in her dreams. I loved it when she looked deep into my eyes; I swore she could see a soul somewhere in me. I loved her enchanting strawberry scent that engulfed her entire body. I missed her like the sun misses the flowers.

"Edward, this night will end soon enough. It's just one night away from Bella. You know the precautions you must take before the wedding."

I wished Jasper wouldn't feel what I was feeling. It drove me crazy having him so close to me. Especially when I felt like I was Romeo missing my Juliet. If I only had an off button in my head for one night, to have my mind go entirely blink, entirely black.

I could call Alice, so my mind would be at ease until tomorrow. I wanted to make sure that she was sleeping well for the night. Before I could even reach for my phone, it began to vibrate in my back pocket.

"Hello, Alice," I said with a smile on my face.

"Edward, everything is fine. She fall a sleep sometime ago. She is doing fine," she said. "Please tell me why you are giving the guys such a hard time. It's not as if they are doing this to torture you, just for the hell of it. You know very well that they mean well and want you to have fun."

"Thank you, Alice. You know that I don't mean to give Emmett and Jasper a hard time. It's just…" I sighed into the phone.

"It's just what, Edward? One night? One night is all that we are asking of you. You will have Bella to yourself after tomorrow," she hissed. "You will have her when you finish saying 'I do' at the wedding ceremony. You will have her on you honeymoon-alone! Just the two of you at Esme Isle for who knows how long? Do you think Bella would be happy you see you moping like this?

Did everyone have to play that card on me? 'Oh, let's all tell Bella that Edward is not having fun.' Everyone knew that when Bella was unhappy, I would do anything to make her happy again.

"NO! No, Alice don't do that. Look, I will try to have fun, okay? Just promise me that you won't wake up Bella," I growled into the phone. I heard Emmett and Jasper trying to hold back their laughter.

"Good. Besides, I have too many last minute wedding details to take care of tonight. Have fun, Edward. Oh…one more thing! If I hear from Jasper that you still choose to give him a hard time…well, let's just say it will not pretty! Love you! Bye!"

I hung up with Alice and slowly got up from the back seat. I couldn't believe with Alice, being so small and sweet, she could be very intimidating at times. Suddenly I heard the guys laughing in the front seat. I tried my best to hold back from laughing with them.

"Alice can be one scary little creature, don't you think?" Jasper said, laughing.

"Yea, you can say that again."

Emmett looked in the rearview mirror and said, "So, what do you say, little brother? Going to have a good time with us or should Jazz get Alice back on the phone?"

"Do I really have a choice?"

"If you want, I can get her back on the phone again," Jasper said over his shoulder. "Believe me, Edward. I don't want to do that. Alice has enough on her plate right now."

"No, that won't be necessary. I'll play."

It only took an hour and a half to get to North Cascades. Emmett seemed to be in more of a hurry than he usually was when we went hunting. As soon as we saw the last car pass us, Emmett made a sharp turn to the right, and into the forest. He drove a couple of miles in to get to the clearing.

We finally came to a stop in front of a rocky mountain. Before stepping out, I listened to everything in the forest. I heard the water running a couple of miles away from us. I heard the night birds chirping and the herds of prey running around. I listened more narrowly, to see if any humans might be around, but it seemed luck was on our side. No one was out hiking or camping tonight. I checked my phone and saw that I had a very faint signal, but enough to receive am emergency call.

"Edward, do you really need your phone?" Jasper asked as he climbed out of the jeep.

"Yes, as a matter of fact, I do."

"Ha-ha! Little brother, what do you think is going to happen? Bella is going to leave in the middle of the night?" Emmett laughed.

"Hey, you never know what could happen," I growled.

They both began laughing as we started heading toward the mountain. One quick jump and we were on top, looking at the landscape below us. Playing no mind to either one, I let my other senses take over. I picked up a strong aroma of a nearby mountain lion and his mate. I crouched down and headed in the direction of the sweet aroma.

Edward, Em and I will meet you back here in one hour. Enjoy.

I nodded at Jasper and started running. I felt the cool, crisp wind hitting my face, as I made my way through the forest. I felt free from any stress that I had earlier. I made my way to the two mountain lions within minutes. I crouched low in the grass and studied them for a moment. I saw the two, relaxing on the green ground. I leaned forward a bit and saw them more clearly. I took a long good sniff of them. I figured that letting them know that something was hunting them would allow for a better surprise of attack.

I figured separating the female from the male would be more efficient. An attack on me would be less likely. I moved a bit in the grass toward them, that single movement drew their attention. The two were on their feet looking towards my direction. With my vampire reflexes, I moved to a nearby tree, crouching carefully on the edge. I let out a growl to get their attention once more.

The male walked over toward the tree. I saw that the female started heading the opposite way. I saw my opportunity to take my prey by surprise. I pounced on my prey, knocking the wind out of him. I crouched down in front of the male and growled at him. He tried to take a swipe at my face as he roared back at me. I sensed the female heading back toward the two of us. I needed to attack quickly before an ambush could happen. I leapt in the air, knocking him over on his side. In one quick motion, I sank my teeth into his neck.

I felt warm liquid running down my throat. The last couple of seconds, I heard fresh blood pumping through his body. My prey struggled under my grip, as I sank my teeth further into his neck. Within seconds, my prey, once vigorous, was limp and drained of all blood. I unhooked my teeth from his neck, just in time to see his mate charging at me. I rolled to my side and crouched down in front of my next prey. Once more, I knocked my current prey to the ground, and sank my teeth in its neck.

Within thirty minutes of my first attack, the two had been drained of all blood. I decided to take a break from hunting. I started heading back in the direction of the jeep. While running back, I checked my phone. Nothing. I stopped running when I sensed Jasper nearby. I turned my body in his direction and started running toward him. He was lying along a tree branch, looking at his phone.

"Edward, I got a text from Alice a minute ago. Everything is fine and everyone, including Bella, is doing just fine. Tell me something, Edward…why is Alice texting at this hour?"

"Your guess is as good as mine," I said.

"What's really on your mind? I'm getting a feeling from you, and it's not just anxiety about being away from Bella," he said, still looking at his phone.

"Jazz, can I be honest with you?" I asked.

"You can always be honest and up front with me. What's up?"

I took one step forward and landed on the tree trunk across from him. I leaned my back against the tree, stretching my legs out in front me. I sighed deeply, thinking about what to say.

"Em isn't be coming back anytime soon. He got a good scent of grizzly bear and headed north just after you left."

"I am worried about Bella after the wedding party. I'm worrying about the physical part of our relationship."

I tried not to look at Jasper. In all the years that we had been together as brothers, I had never felt so ashamed to ask a question. I give Jasper a couple of minutes before I feel calm between us. I turned to look at

"Edward, believe me when I say this. There is nothing to be ashamed of. I can understand why you have worries and even doubts, but I'm afraid I can't really give you the answers that you're looking for."

I sighed and looked away. I guess I expected that.

"Edward, don't misunderstand me, please. I can't give you advice on how to control your strength during sex. If you are asking for my opinion, I can tell you that. that relationship is unimaginable pleasure."

I turned back to him and saw a huge grin on his face. The thoughts running through his head were unbelievable.

"Come on, man. Alice may not be related to me by blood, but I don't want to see her like that. Please think about something else." I closed my eyes and chuckled to myself.

"Sorry, my brother. I can't help up it when I am this far away from Alice. You should be happy that it's me here and not Em. Believe me. The visions that Alice got are way worse."

"I know. Don't forget that before you and Alice moved in with us, I had to hear and see the things those two would do. I remember the things that the two of them would destroy."

We both looked at each other and started laughing. I should have been thankful that it was Jasper here with me and not Emmett. The things Emmett thought about, I didn't think any normal person, human or vampire, could possibility be thinking of. I caught Emmett's scent coming from just north of us.

What's so damn funny?

We both stopped laughing and jumped down from the tree. Jasper planted himself on the ground, his back against the tree, still laughing. I got ready to pounce on Emmett. I always had to be on my guard with Emmett around. Sure enough, he crashed right into me, and we both fell to the ground. I was able to pin him and place him in a wrestling hold.

"Anyone planning on telling me what's so damn funny?"

I looked at Jasper, trying not to loosen my hold on Emmett.

If you want to tell him, I am behind you one hundred percent.

I knew that Emmett never took anything too seriously, always the joker in our family. I lost control over Emmett and was kicked back a couple of feet. I heard Emmett running at me. I quickly rolled to my side. I sprang to my feet and jumped toward the tree. Suddenly, I felt Emmett's hand wrap around my ankle and he threw me to the ground. Before I could get up, Emmett pinned me. I heard him laughing, and then he released me.

"So, little brother, enjoying yourself?"

"Yea, I guess you can say that. Although, I must say, 'enjoying', would not the best word to use here. I would say more like, content, in being here." I said, with a faint smile on my face.

"Whatever, you say Einstein."

Emmett turned his back on me and started heading toward Jasper. I sprang from the ground and jumped on Emmett's back. I put him in another wrestling hold as I tackled him down to the ground. I heard Jasper laughing at us.

Oh, it a rematch you want then little brother. Bring it on! We have all night.

We did have all night. Alice told us we couldn't be back until an hour before the wedding started. She warned me, two nights before the wedding, she would come for blood if I saw Bella before the wedding. The thought of seeing Bella on our wedding day kept me sane for the night. How beautiful my future wife would be that day. A wonderful memory that I would keep with me for my entire existence. I knew that after tonight, everything would be different…forever.
