Don't own Twilight or characters or Red Bull.
Chapter 6
Bella's POV
"Bella!" Alice yelled. "Bella, wake up!" she ordered.
"Alice, let her sleep. She needs the energy." Edward said. I smiled. I really did want to sleep.
"There is no time for sleep! It's nearly 2!" Alice said impatiently. "If she really needs energy, I'll shove a Red Bull down her throat!" I heard Edward growl at Alice's words.
I figured that I would not be able to sleep with them going at each other like this. Sighing, I rolled over to face them. My eyelids opened lazily. Alice was holding an opened bag with numerous beauty products. I groaned.
"I told you she was about to wake up!" Alice shot at Edward. At this point I realized Edward was not in the same room. It only took me a second to remember I could not see him until the wedding.
My wedding.
I flinched at the thought. Today I would get married. Ugh. In an attempt to make myself happier, I reminded myself that I wasn't just getting married, I was getting married to Edward. Edward, the definition of perfection...
"Bella?" Alice asked, interrupting my thoughts. "Bella I need to start working on your make-up! Rise and shine!"
I groaned again and stood up, blood rushing to my feet. My head felt dizzy from the action. Alice held out her arms and I nodded while she picked me up and ran to her over-sized bathroom. There were even more ridiculous facial products in here. I simply went to my happy place, letting Alice set me in a chair, and begin marking my face with creams, shadows, powders, and whatever else she was up to. My mind was not there, so to speak.
"Bella?" Edward asked. He smiled at me.
"Yes, Edward?" I answered.
He smiled his crooked smile. "I love you." He said simply, before kissing me. Unlike the normal kisses, Edward did not pull away and mutter something about my safety. In the end I had to pull away so I could breathe. I heard my heart's accelerated pulse hammering away.
"Love you too." I said to him. I kissed his cold, smooth lips again.
Edward's POV
Jasper was to spend the whole day prior to the wedding with me. Alice had gotten to him with her pleas for a traditional wedding. Alice was getting a little out of hand with her power over my wedding.
Ah, my wedding. It was so pleasing to think of belonging to Bella in such a way. Where Jacob, Mike, Eric, Tyler - every other male would be forced to stop trying to gain her attention. She would belong to me and no one else. I knew this was incredibly selfish, but it was how Bella wanted it. Only, she had a different idea of fulfilling that idea. Immortality.
In the end, we would both win. I would marry her, and she would change. We would be forever bound to each other.
"Edward, please!" Jasper begged. I looked at him questionably. "It's very uncomfortable feeling that way about my brothers fiance'." he explained. I grinned at the word fiance'. Jasper shot an angry look at me.
"Sorry." I mumbled. I distracted myself by watching TV. Seconds later Emmett appeared. I knew already from his thoughts that he and Jasper were taking me hunting so I wouldn't attack anyone at the wedding. I was sure that I would not, seeing as no one could smell more appealing than Bella, but I went along with it simply for something to do. Besides, Jasper was not as in control as I was, so he should be hunting as much as possible.
"Ready?" Emmett asked Jasper and I. I nodded and we headed outside towards the mountains.
Alice's POV
As I applied Bella's make-up, she seemed somewhat dazed. And her eyes were full of love. I turned to the door to make sure Edward hadn't snuck up on us. He wasn't there. So Bella was looking at melovingly? As much as I loved her as a sister, that was slightly discomforting. And it didn't sound right. I walked around her to check, and her eyes stayed in the same place, looking forward. She was just daydreaming, then. From the look in her eyes, daydreaming about Edward.
I finished her make-up and stood back to admire my work. Bella looked absolutely gorgeous. She would thank me for this once she saw herself, skin smooth and glowing, eyelids shadowed in purple, lips slightly pink, cheeks dusted in a barely noticable blush. And her hair was amazing, pulled back and then released into curls at the back of her head, with small ringlets framing her face. I smiled, pleased with what I'd done.
Then I picked Bella up carefully and walked carefully to my closet. I didn't want her to come back from her dreams because she would probably be stubborn about the expensive dress that was for her. Instead I dressed her quickly in the beautiful outfit, a classic white dress with no train (Bella would have tripped on it, so instead the dress cut off around her ankles). The bottom half was full of ruffled fabric and the top half consisted of a white middle and see through sleeves. Her veil went down to her waist and her shoes were white flats that Edward picked out because they were safe. I had begged him to let her wear heels but he was stubborn about it.
Once I had Bella dressed I carried her to a full body mirror and tried to wake her from her daydreams.
"Bella?" I said for the third time, a little more loud than necessary.
Bella blinked and looked around, disoriented. When she saw me, she pouted. "Alice, you woke me from my happy place." She complained.
I rolled my eyes. "Try this for a happy place," I said, turning her around to face herself. I heard her gasp in shock.
"I'm, I'm, I look-" Bella couldn't find a word.
"Beautiful! Astonishing! Breathtaking!" I offered for her. Bella just nodded and started giggling. Then she started looking around, finally spotting a clock on a table.
"Alice, it's 6:30 already! My wedding is in 30 minutes!"
"Calm down, Bella. Deep breaths. It's going to be fine."
Bella didn't calm down one bit. Luckily, I heard Emmett's Jeep pulling in the driveway.
Edward, I thought, Send Jasper upstairs. Bella's freaking out. And get ready!
I heard Jasper coming through the door seconds later. I instantly felt at ease, and Bella looked calmed down. I gave Jasper a grateful look before turning back to Bella.
"Would you like to eat something?" I asked her. At the mention of food, Bella's stomach growled.
"I'm starving." she said before walking out the door towards the kitchen. I went ahead of her to make sure she was quick, and quickly started slicing an apple and putting some bread in the toaster. Bella sat down and started eating the apple slices while the toast cooked. When she was finished I told her she should brush her teeth and she walked back upstairs. It was 6:50 now. I ran upstairs to hurry her.
When Bella finished we walked back to my room. I could hear people chattering downstairs and piano music. Bella must have too, because her eyes widened and her expression was panicked again.
"Jasper!" I said. Bella got calm again. "Thank you."
"How many people?" Bella asked, turning towards me.
"Not many," I said, trying not to panic her. "Just close friends, family members..."
Bella wasn't buying it. "How many?" she asked again.
"Oh just 83 people..."
"83?!" Bella shouted. Jasper calmed her again. Which was good, because it was time for her to walk down the aisle.
"Bella, never mind that. It's time to go." I said, hoping she wouldn't freak out again.
Jasper's power worked. Bella stood up slowly and started going out the door to the wedding that was downstairs. Charlie was waiting in the hallway to walk her down the stairs and down the isle.
"Bells, you look amazing!" he said. Bella smiled and took his hand as they walked towards that stairs. "You look great too, Alice." He said. I smiled. I was dressed in my bridesmaid dress, white, stopping between my knees and ankles, with a neckline made of alot of fabric which folded over itself.
"Thank you." I said to Charlie. Then I heard the song switch to Here Comes The Bride. Bella took a deep breath and took the first step down the stairs with Charlie at her side.
Alice had said 65 people came to the graduation party, so I just added a little to the wedding. Pure guessing.
