A/N: I know that it is a little sad in the beginning but I promise to make it happier. I need all my readers to PM me if you want Bella to see Edward in this book. At the moment I am thinking of making a sequel; one were Bella is actually a major character, and not having her in this one.
Please just PM me your thoughts to this account.

POV: Edward
"Why do we have to search for her?" Rosalie groaned, for the five hundredth time already. You can always leave it to Rosalie to complain.
"Because, she is important to Edward and we help family. Since she is with Edward, it means that she is part of this family as well." Esme's patient reply came before I could cuss. Cussing was something I don't usually do but Rosalie made it very hard to use suitable language.
"But I don't care. Why can't I just stay at the home, while the rest of you look for his dead bride." I froze. I had thought about that particular fact, but I never wanted it to be true. Searching for her I knew that she must be alive. Every fibre of my being felt the pull towards her still. Maybe I could use that to find her, other than that it was my only clue.
I stared out into the distance, still driving and still alone.
*Flashback*
"Edward?" She laughed at my expression, I didn't think it was that funny. Getting hit in that general area wasn't a pleasant experience for me.
"What?" I huffed, bent over and panting. It really did hurt...
Okay, let me explain. I had recently taken a beaten by several men because of Bella. They tried to get me to "break up" with her and I obviously refused. They then teamed up five to one and I didn't stand a chance. In the process of the fight Bella happened to stumble into them. Since she was a lady. and higher up in the social ranking they listened to what she said and left me alone.
"Edward, are you okay" She was concerned now, usually I wasn't rude to her but it really did hurt.
"No" I tried to soften my expression; so she would relax. "But I am sure it will be better later on." I smirked. "I just need you to help me with something."
"Anything" She breathed
"My lips are sore and I need to make sure they are fully capable, of moving in every way." I hinted; wiggling my eyebrows.
"Edward!" She scolded; when she realised what I had meant. "Someone might see us." She warned
"I don't care" I replied and pulled her into a passionate kiss. I think we were stand there for a long time because someone cleared their throat. I whirled around to see who it was; while shielding Bella from sight.
"Don't stop on my account but I don't think your father would be too happy with you right now young man." My mother had a stern expression on her face and I was relieve yet worried. If she told my dad; then I would be sure to get a huge lecture on the wrongness of my actions. But if she didn't then she... I don't even know.
"Mother" I tried to explain and her expression softened.
"Your father did the same with me before our wedding as well." She laughed "You should have seen your face" She chuckled "Now, as much as I would love for you to continue it is almost midnight and it is bad luck to see the bride on her wedding day." She winked and towed me away from Bella.
"But-t" I tried to pull away and she hushed me
"Bella, will be fine walking on her own." She continued to pull me away from the love of my life.
"I'll see you tomorrow, Edward" We were getting farther and father by the second. My heart was starting to ache; I would need to wait until tomorrow to see her again.
"You promise?" I asked; Bella would never break her promise.
"I promise" She turned away from me and walked towards her house. I wanted to walk her back; like the gentleman I was raised as, but my mother kept pulling me farther and farther away.
*End of Flashback*
"Edward?" Esme asked from the back of the Volvo.
"Yes?" I replied; not wanting to seem rude.
"What was your wedding like?"
My wedding, sigh, was beautiful.
*Flashback*
My mother insisted on making me wait until the wedding before I could see Bella again. I know that it is tradition; but I wouldn't mind breaking it, just this once.
"You look dashing, son." My father was standing beside me while I looked into the mirror to see my reflection.
I was wearing a black tux completed with a bow tie.
I was now waiting patiently at the end of the aisle, with the priest. My patience was wearing thin but I knew it would be worth it in the end. I couldn't wait to see Bella again.
It seemed like a long time before the music started-which is recognised as the Wagner's Wedding March- and Bella was gliding down the aisle. She just looked so beautiful in the cream colored dress. The dress looked very expensive; although I am sure she could afford that.
The entire ceremony was beautiful, but long. Too long for my taste. I couldn't wait to go for our honeymoon. I was also guilty of looking at her the entire time. I wasn't exactly paying attention to the priest; who was joining us in Holy Matrimony.
I barely noticed it was time to say our vows until Bella nudged me and I stuttered them out.
*End of Flashback*
"It was beautiful. Bella had a long white dress and the reception was long however.
I saw Esme smile at me and I heard her thoughts.
I can imagine that the ceremony seemed long... (Esme thought)
If I could have; I would have been a very deep shade of scarlet.
