Chapter 4 – Wish You Were Here

Krystal's POV

July 17th 2018 1:25 pm

"Krystal, hold still, will ya? This is not easy doing your makeup." Alice said.

"I'm nervous okay!" I said totally freaking out.

"Geez, you think after your first date with Lucas, everything would be fine by now." Carly said assisting Alice with my makeup.

I am sitting in the dressing room back at the main house where Alice, Rosalie, Bella, Carly and Danielle were helping me get ready for my wedding. I can't believe that in less than three hours I'm going to marry to my high school sweetheart but I can't help myself from feeling so freaked out about all this.

"Hey I can't help it." I said.

"Well we can't help you if keep moving around like this." Rosalie said as she Danielle was working on my hair.

"Not that we blame you for having those pre-wedding jitters." Danielle said.

"Krystal, it's okay to be acting like this," Bella calmly said placing her hand on mine with a smile. "I was nervous on my wedding too you know."

"That's different," I said. "You were a human marrying a vampire. I'm a vampire marrying a vampire. A vampire marrying a vampire is like the same feeling for a human marrying a human."

"Either way, I was in the same boat you're in." Bella said still calmly. "You wanna know how I got over it?"

"How?"

"Well there I was, walking down the aisle with my father Charlie by my side," Bella said. "Like you, I was feeling very nervous. I felt like I was told to back out now. That was until Charlie and I reached the aisle where many people were watching us walking down the aisle together. Out of many people who came, the only person I saw was Edward. Everything was clear when my father placed my hand in Edward's and my world that has been upside down for so long seemed to settle into its proper position. Once I looked into Edward's eyes, I knew where I belong and that was to be in Edward's where I get to be with him forever."

Not only was Bella's story was so sweet it somehow was able to help me calm down completely.

"Thanks Bella," I smiled. "I needed that, and I'm glad you've found your happiness with Edward's."

"And I know you and Lucas will be happy once you two see each other on the altar." Bella smiled not letting go of my hand the whole time. "Lucky for you, now that you're a vampire, you don't have to worry about tripping over on the way to the altar." I couldn't help but laugh since it's true. Bella told me how clumsy she used to be when she was human.

"Okay now that Bella has helped you get over your pre wedding jitters Krystal, can you please hold still now?" Alice asked.

I chuckled. "Sure Alice, do your magic."

"Finally." Carly said as she and the other girls resume their work on my makeup and hair.

An hour later has passed until the girls announced that they were done.

"And voila." Alice said. Soon my chair was turned around for me to face myself in the mirror and I couldn't help myself but gasp.

My makeup was given an addition of glittery eye-shadow and lipstick before the lip gloss. My jet black hair has a few curls down which were really nice. My friends sure know how to make a girl look beautiful.

"I don't know what to say girls." I said.

"No need to say anything." Carly said happily.

"You look beautiful Krystal." Bella smiled.

"Not that she never were before." Danielle cheerfully.

"Once Lucas sees the dress we got you, he'll have his eyeballs popped out of his sockets." Rosalie said admiring the work they did on me.

"Speaking of which," Alice said as the doorbell rang. "The dress has arrived along with ours. Now Krystal," Alice turned to me as everyone else left the room. "You stay here and don't do anything or even leave this room. Okay?"

"Yes ma'am." I playfully saluted making Alice smiled and she closed the door behind her leaving just me all by myself.

I sighed. Nothing for me to do except sit around in my chair and wait until the girls come back. I went back to the mirror and examine the work everyone did when all of sudden

"Oh my gosh Krystal, you look so beautiful."

I gasped. I recognized that voice and it belonged to someone who I haven't spoken to in three years.

"Always has been and always will be."

Now I heard another familiar voice. That cannot be who I think it is. I turned around and could not believe my eyes to who I was seeing; a woman who looks a lot like me with the eyes, face and same hair style which the color is dark brown and next to her was a man who has the same hair color as mine. Where are the tears when they are needed?

"Mom? Dad?" I asked. "What are you – how are you – when did you – aren't you –"

"We are dead if that's what you're asking." Dad chuckled as he and mom came up to me. "How and when we got here well, we have our ways to reach out to you and no, only you can see us. As for what we're doing here, what else than to see our daughter getting married."

"Oh Krystal," Mom said sitting at a chair next to mine holding my hand. I can tell she's been crying. "You don't know how happy your father and I are for you."

"Thanks you guys." I said.

"I always knew Lucas would be a great man to you and I know he'll take good care of you along with his family." Dad smiled squeezing my other hand. How is it that they feel so real yet they no longer live? Oh what does it matter?

"I miss you guys so much." I said trying my best not to cry. "I wish you guys were really here. I wish you guys never left. I wanted you to be here on this special day. I wanted you guys to be sitting up front watching me and Lucas get married. I wanted you to be the one walking down the aisle with me." I said to my dad as I couldn't help myself from crying.

"Believe me kiddo, we all wished we could be here to see you up on that altar." Dad said squeezing my hand tighter as my mom rubbed my back. "There's nothing I want more than to walk you down the aisle handing you over to a great man who've brought a smile on your face but I know that Carlisle will do a good job bringing you to Lucas. There's no one I trust more than him."

"Just remember though Krystal, like how I was there for you and your father, we will always be there for you no matter what." Mom said. "How else were you able to get the courage to ask Lucas out to lunch on the first day of school?"

I had a surprise look on my face from what she said. So she has always been with me. I thought I was going crazy back then.

"Remember Krystal, we will always be here for you because if you haven't noticed, we never left, right here." Mom said placing her hand on my chest where my heart is.

"I love you guys." I said while sniffling.

"We love you too kiddo." Dad said giving me a kiss on the cheek the same with mom. "Well we gotta get going," He said as he and my mom got up. "We got seats calling for us for the wedding."

"What, where?"

"You'll see soon enough." Mom said as she held my dad's hand. I smiled at them and they returned it back. Not a moment later, they disappeared. I couldn't help but cry again. Cry because I got to see my parents knowing that they're with me, always.

Meanwhile…

Lucas's POV

"God damn this stupid tie!" I said feeling frustrated as I was trying to get this neck tie on with the tux I'm now wearing. Who the hell invented these things? You would think after years of wearing these you would get the hang of it by now.

"Come here." Jasper, who is already dressed, said walking over to me while Edward and Emmett, also dressed, tried to hold their chuckles.

"Oh yeah sure, you guys think this is funny." I thought and gestured to the work Jasper was doing on my tie.

"How can it not be? Emmett's words not mine." Edward said to me.

"There we go." Jasper said.

"Thanks Jasper." I said admiring his work.

"No problem. Now don't mess it up because if your tie is anything less than perfect, Alice will kill you, literally before you can even say sorry." Jasper teased.

"Sure thing Major Whitlock." I said as Jasper and I laughed at my little joke.

"You know it's never too late to back out dude." Edward smacked Emmett's head. "OW! I'm kidding. Geez, can't a guy just tell a joke and not get hit for once?"

"We need to go," Edward said. "Alice says that the guests will be arriving shortly and we have to help get them settled."

"Let's go!" Emmett boomed as he and Jasper left the room. I was about to follow them when Edward halted my movements.

"You stay here." He said.

"Why?" I asked.

"Because Alice says that you have to get the full effect when everything's settled." I was confused what Edward meant. "I don't know but I'll let you know when Alice gives the word for you to come out."

"Fine." I said.

"Also don't even think about sneaking in to see Krystal before the wedding. I did not have to read your mind or have Alice see the future. We just assumed." Edward smirked.

"Would you know I would do it even with my aura on?" I joked as Edward laughed and soon left the room once he closed the door.

I don't know what Alice is thinking locking me up in this room. If I stay a second longer in here I'm gonna go nuts. I looked at the clock and it was two twenty five. Only an hour and thirty five minutes left before show time and I couldn't help but freak out. It's not the fact that I'm second guessing on my decision, because I wasn't, but because, well… I am, okay. I took a deep breath and examined myself in the mirror hoping that I look okay.

"There's the groom all dashing as ever."

I smiled as recognized who it was. I haven't talked to them since I last visited their graves. I turned around to see my parents and my little sister Lilly standing there smiling at me.

"I had a feeling you guys would show up." I said as my family came up to me.

"Well how could we not show up on this special day?" Dad chuckled ruffling my spiky brown hair.

"Oh my goodness sweetheart," Mom said looking at me up and down and was on the verge for tears. "I can't believe you're getting married. Why are growing up so fast?" Mom started crying as she hugged me. Here we go again. I thought.

"Mom, I'm not that old." I said patting her back.

"Are you sure? What about tha –"

"No dad, I am not growing a grey hair!" I said as dad laughed. Dad will never stop with the jokes.

"You look handsome big brother." Lily said with a big smile as mom let go of me.

"Thanks baby sis." I said ruffling her hair while she pouted knowing that she hates it when I call her a baby.

"We're so proud of you Lucas." Dad said. "And we are so happy for you. You and Krystal are perfect for each other."

"She is." Mom said. "And I can see that my ring suits her perfectly."

"Yeah she's really pretty." Lilly said.

"Thanks you guys. It means a lot." I said.

"You know that we will always support you on the decisions you make no matter what." Dad said.

"And we will always be with you, in here sweetheart." Mom said placing her hand on her heart.

"And that's a promise." Lilly said.

"Now if you excuse us we have a wedding to watch." Dad said thumping my back.

"Wait, you guys are gonna be there?" I asked.

"Why wouldn't we?" Mom smiled. "Besides, we got specials seats being picked out for us so we will definitely be seeing you soon."

"But before we go there's someone who wants to see you." Dad said.

"Who?"

My family turned me around until I was shocked to see a girl with dark brown hair that went all the way down her shoulders where her flawless skin was showing.

"Hi Lucas."

"M-Meghan?" I stuttered as she walked up to me. I cannot believe I am seeing my ex-girlfriend who died about three years ago.

"Wow, I forgot how handsome you are in that tux." Meghan said examining me with a smile.

"W-What are you doing here? Not that I'm not happy to see you but why are you here?" I asked nervously. Dude isn't it obvious?

"I heard you're getting married." Meghan said.

Oh great, that's just what I needed. Here I am getting married to my fiancé and now I'm talking face to face with my dead ex-girlfriend. Can you say awkward?

"Don't worry, I'm not mad."

"You're not?" I asked in surprise.

"No, I'm really happy for you." Meghan smiled. I'm unable to see her aura as well as my families' but I can tell that she means it. "I was hoping you find someone else to have in your life after the accident that happened to me. I watched how upset you were and it pains me seeing you like this for what I've done to you, but the moment you met Krystal, I saw the pain washed away from your face as she brought so much in you. I knew from then on that you two are meant to be together. I know that she will love you more than I could ever have for you."

"Meghan," I couldn't believe she would happily accept our relationship.

"But know this Lucas," Meghan said placing her hand on my face. "No matter what happens, I will always, always love you. You have and will always be the best boyfriend I've ever had."

"I miss you so much Meghan." I said taking my hand on hers that's on my face.

Meghan gave me a kiss on the cheek. "I know and congratulations."

"Thank you." I smiled.

"You're welcome." Meghan said. "Well we should get going. I'll see you there, Lukey-pookie."

"Meghan." I groaned. Does she have to call me by that pet name? It's cute but embarrassing.

Meghan giggled as she came to Lilly's side.

"We'll see you very soon." Dad said.

"I hope so." I said. "I love you guys."

"We love you too sweetheart." Mom said blowing a kiss at me.

"See you soon big brother." Lilly said.

"Good luck." Meghan said and soon all of them disappeared.

I was lost at what just happened when a knock interrupted me. "Lucas?" The door opened and Edward appeared.

"Alice said that you can come out now." He said.

"I'll be right there." I said and Edward left.

I took a moment reliving what just happened. I don't know how but I feel like all this heavy weight has been lifted and I no longer feel nervous and it had nothing to do with Jasper. I took a deep breath exited the room where my whole life will change.
