I couldn't decide how to end it, so I wrote two versions. I know most people are either Team Jacob or Team Edward, so to please both I wrote two. You can pick which one you prefer, but this version is the Team Edward version (personally, my favourite version) read and review and I'll love you forever! xx
The music had started, yet I couldn't hear it. There are no words that could describe what I felt when I saw his face. The way my pulse quickened, but I couldn't breath. The way I forgot everything, everyone else, I forgot I had Jacob beside me, holding my hand protectively. I wanted no one else, nothing else, I wanted Edward. He froze, I had froze. We were in a kind of trance. I snapped out of it when Jacob nudged be, Tanya was walking down the aisle, but all eyes, including her fiancé's were on my face. I looked at Tanya, she looked so perfect, her strawberry blonde hair was gently waving down her back, her beautiful golden eyes were looking at Edward, confused, she followed his gaze and saw me, I didn't know what to do, she had stopped walking now. I looked behind her and saw Alice, positively beaming at me. Jasper had her arm, he was looking at Edward, shocked. Rosalie was even further behind Alice, the sides of her mouth were pulling up, she was smiling at me, her beauty shocked me as it had the first time I'd seen her. Emmett was grinning. I had forgotten how much I loved each one of them. There were many other vampires, obviously Tanya's family, they had clearly heard of me, they were glaring at me, hatred in their eyes. I spotted Carlisle and Esme. I felt like an intruder, but I had an invitation. Everything had stopped, the music, the smiling, the laughter, the walking down the aisle. It was all too much, before I knew what I was doing, I was running up the aisle, towards the astonished Edward.
'Edward.' I breathed when I got to him.
'Bella.' His angel voice shocked me. We just stood, looking at each other.
'Sorry to break up this beautiful reunion' I heard someone say behind me, it was obviously someone from Tanya's family. 'But this is a wedding, I think we'd all appreciate it if you could save this for after the wedding'
I should have gone then, but I was stuck when I was.
'Bella, come on' Jacob said, he was behind me. I didn't even turn to look at him.
'Bella, this is a wedding, come on!' he tried again. I wasn't moving. I felt his hand pull me away, I was so much weaker than him, I got yanked from the trance, into the reality. I was ruining somebody else's wedding.
'Bella' I heard Edward whisper, Jacob stiffened. I turned to face Edward. I smiled sadly, then turned on my heel and ran from the beautiful wedding, from the beautiful people, from my Edward. I didn't make it far, I got inside the house and collapsed on the floor, crying. Jacob crouched down next to me.
'Come on Bella' he encouraged.
'Go, please Jacob, I don't want you to see me like this, go to the pack, I'll see you soon.' I begged.
'No.' he said fiercely. I looked into his eyes.
'Please.' He sighed and walked away from me, leaving me in a crumpled mess on the floor.
'Bella.' Edward was behind me. I looked up at him, he held his hand down, I took it and pulled myself up.
'Your wedding Edward, go!' I whispered.
'What are you doing here?' He asked, his head tilting to one side.
'How did you know?' He continued.
'I got an invitation, you didn't send it?'
'Alice. I should have guessed. She hasn't... warmed to the idea of Tanya and me' Edward struggled, his gold eyes deep in thought.
'Oh.' I said, I could hardly speak.
'I'm sorry Bella' he whispered.
'Not now Edward, your wedding! I have to go' I stuttered, a pained expression found its way onto his beautiful face.
'Lets go. Now.' He said softly. He led me out the front door, then pulled me onto his back. Before I could object, he was running, with such speed. We ran for an immeasurable period of time, it could have been 3 minutes, it could have been 30 minutes, it could have been 3 hours. I couldn't tell. He set me down and sighed.
'Where are we?' I croaked.
'Far away' he whispered.
'Your wedding Edward. You have to go back.'
'I can't, not now I've seen you. I need you Bella. My life has been hell without you.'
'But you didn't want me!'
'I thought if I weren't with you, you would be safer.'
'I can't do this Edward.' I cried.
'I understand, you can never trust me again. I'll go now. I just had to speak to you.'
'Its not that, I love you, I've missed you more than you can imagine, I've been such a mess. It's just... Jacob.' I whispered.
'What about Jacob... Oh. Oh, you and him are...'
'Yes.' I began sobbing. 'I thought you would never come back Edward, it had been months and months, not a word from you, it was hurting Jacob so much. I'll never love him like I love you, but I do love him.' I admitted.
'I'm not going to make this harder for you then Bella. Just... just don't forget me. And know I'll always love you. No matter what.' And then I was on his back again, and he was running. We got back to the house and Jacob and Tanya were both waiting.
'Hi.' I said to Jake, but he didn't look at me, he was staring at Tanya, he was looking at her like... like she was the only girl in the world. At first I was confused, Tanya was looking at him in the same way. I saw Edward smiling.
'What is going on?!' I asked him.
'He's imprinted' Edward said, smiling. Then it clicked, a way out, a pain free way out. Jacob and Tanya. Me and Edward. I realised that everything would be okay now, it would go back to the way it was just over a year ago. Edward turned and looked at me.
'I love you Bella.' He said simply.
'I love you, too.' He kissed me softly, I didn't know what would happen after that, about the wedding, about everything, I just knew that I wouldn't be facing it alone, I'd have Edward and Jacob, I wondered how I deserved this degree of good fortune, I felt people crowding around us, confused at how so much had changed in so little time, I heard the Cullen's excitement, especially Alice's, but I didn't let Edward go. And I wouldn't let him go, ever, ever again. Whatever happened, I didn't care, I had Edward, my love, and Jacob, my best friend, and everything was completely and utterly perfect.
