Chapter 8: Reality
BPOV
We are days away from our wedding, but I still think about what happened to me, even after all the times Edward has asked me and I keep telling him that everything is fine and not to worry, my mind is still wondering what really happened and why I still feel that I do not deserve Edward at all. He has being so nice with me, we have being together almost every day, just apart when Edward has to go hunting, but really I do not think I feel better at all, I know in my heart that I love Edward and that he loves me the same way, but how can someone get over this, it is too much.
Edward will be here any minute I need to get changed so we can go out, he is taking me to watch a movie and then dinner with our friends. Jessica called just a couple of minutes ago, telling me that Mike will pick her up and together they will go to pick Ben and Angela and we are going to meet at the movies. They have being very excited about the wedding, Jessica might be a little jealous because Mike has not even asked her to be his girlfriend, even after going out for weeks, Angela of course has being more than a great friend for us, she has helped Alice with the wedding invitations, I told her a million times not to worry but she keeps saying is her time to payback my help with her graduation invitations.
I had no idea what to wear for tonight and it is one of a million times I am actually delighted to have Alice as a sister, she called after Jessica and told me exactly what to put on, I am still not sure about all of it, but I cannot complain, my mind is not working at all and trying to think what to wear is just crazy.
After dressing up my phone rang, I read the caller ID, it was Edward, and my heart started to pound harder as always.

"Hi love, are you ready?" I asked Bella thru the phone "As ready as I can be" Bella answered. "Ok, I am just around the corner see you soon" I hanged up my phone and parked my car in front of Bella's house. Bella came out her front door and as always I was speechless, she looked so sexy and lovely at the same time, I came to her and kissed her in the lips "I missed you today" I spoke in a low voice, she turned and said "Me too", I took her hand and walked her to the passenger seat, then I went to my side, started my car and headed towards Port Angeles.
"Bella, what is wrong?" I asked really concerned and holding her hand, she has not said anything during the car ride. "Edward I am fine just watching the trees, it is so green in here" she answered. I cannot read her mind, but I know her too well to know something was bothering her. "Bella, please I know something is wrong please tell me what are you thinking". She just turned her face to the window and started sobbing "Edward… I … I do not feel ok" I was really worried and just pulled to the side and parked the car. "Bella, please tell me" I asked as I hold her, "Baby please talk to me, you know you can trust me".
"Edward… I am so sorry I know you love me and I love you but please this is too much, I do not know if I want a big wedding, everyone in towns now know what happened and I do not know if I can handle the gossip anymore, all the people keep staring at me and…" I stopped her "Love, please just forget about the rest of the people, tell me what you need, what you want is more important for me than anyone else, so just please say what you need from me and what you want" Bella turned around looking me straight into my eyes "Edward… I want to get married in Vegas"
"What?...Really? Ok then when do you want to get married in Vegas?" I asked surprised by her answer. "Edward I want to get married and live this life behind as soon as possible… I know is a big step and short noticed but really I just want it simple, maybe just the two of us, or maybe just the family and … " I kissed her "Bella, if this is what you want, well your wish is my command so let´s go!!"

"What? … Now?" I was excited beyond believe but also shocked by his answer "Yes, why not? If we need anything we buy it and so let´s get going now, I will call the airport and check in the next flight if you want" OMG are we really doing this now? I keep asking myself, damn we are "Yes! Let´s go now I cannot wait to be your wife I love you Edward thank you" I hugged him as strong as I could.
"We are going to Vegas to get married… wow!" as I said it Edward turn into his phone and dialed, he spoke for a couple of minutes then he hang up his phone and turned to me "Love, everything is ready, let´s go to the airport, our flight will be leaving in a couple of hours, we´ve just got time to get there" Damn, I am so excited, this is what I really want just be with Edward, of course the way he drives I know will make it on time. "I just have to call our friends to cancel the plan for the evening" I said to Edward, he just nodded taking my hand and kissing my ring. "I love you Bella" he whispered "Love you too future husband" I reply with a huge smile on my face, it has being so long since I last smiled but it is all going to be fine now, at least that's what I hope for. "Edward?" I asked "Yes?" he replied "Do you want to call your family and tell them the news and maybe they want to go to?" I asked but really I just wanted to be with Edward. "Love…. I will call them but I just want to be with you, will see them when we return and have a little party when we get back". I was so relieved so I simply said "Thank you Edward, this is exactly what I need now, just you and me".
