Alice's POV
We manage to get to Jasper's parents house, where the wedding will take place with Bella somewhat calm and breathing. Carlisle and Esme hug her and tell her they are so sorry if they knew how Edward was treating her they never would have allowed it. I have to wonder how everyone completely missed it but I don't say anything. Soon the officiant shows up and everyone takes their places. I decided to skip the whole walking down the aisle since there are 4 guests including me plus Bella wouldn't have anyone to give her away. She is beautiful. I did an awesome job.
I don't hear a single word of the ceremony. I just watch Jasper hold Bella's hands in his, she's crying but I know she's happy, just emotional. Carlisle and Esme look so proud and Emmett seems to be a mixture of happiness and jealously. I get how he feels. I am insanely happy for them but at the same time slightly jealous because Jasper used to be mine and he never loved me the way he loves her, never looked at me the way he looks at her. It's not even that I want Jasper, I don't. I just want someone to look at me like that. It's worse for Emmett because he loves Bella, to watch her look at Jasper with such love and devotion in her eyes, that has to be hard. Then I hear you may now kiss the bride and they kiss and I know to them in this moment, there is no one else. Then everyone claps and that's it. We all hug them and congratulate them and even with just us there Bella is overwhelmed with all the attention so Jasper pulls her into him and she relaxes.
"No one thought to invite me to my only brother and my favorite ex-girlfriend's wedding?" Edward walks in and Bella pushes herself as far into Jasper as she can.
"Edward now is not the time for this. We thought you were out of town. But you need to leave right now." Carlisle is so calm. Jasper definitely gets that from him.
"I'm not leaving without Bella. She was mine first and I want her back." He's crazy. He really seems to think she's stolen property that we are just going to hand over.
"She is my wife. If she belongs to anyone it is me. She loves me; I've taken care of her since you left her to be abused by Billy and Jacob. She is mine. So you need to get the hell out of here." He's scary looking. I truly hope I never make him that mad.
And then Edward pulls out a gun and Bella's screaming, Esme is pleading with him to put the gun down, and Emmett and Carlisle are slowing getting closer and closer to him. Then he points the gun at me.
"Bella if you come to me right now we can go and be happy together. If you don't come I will shoot Alice." He sounds pretty serious and she actually tries to get away from Jasper. She's actually going to go with him.
"Bella, stop. Do not listen to him. Stop fighting Jasper, just stay with Jasper." I tell her.
"You have till the count of 5 Bella. 5…4…" she's still trying to get away from Jasper but he's holding her so tight I'm sure he's hurting her. "3…2…" And then I hear the gun shot and I'm waiting for the pain when Emmett falls in front of me.
Holy crap he shot Emmett! He was supposed to shoot me but Emmett jumped in front of me. Emmett just saved my life and now he's lying on the floor bleeding. Then Carlisle gets close enough to grab the gun while Edward seems to be in shock. He's obviously never shot anyone before. As soon as Carlisle gets the gun he hands it to me so he and Jasper can restrain Edward and Esme is calling 911 and I realize Bella's fainted. I want to go to her but what do I do with the gun? Esme hangs up the phone then she takes the gun and I run to Bella.
"Bella, sweetheart, wake up. It's all OK now. Oh god Bella wake up." Then I think, what the hell am I doing? She's just fainted; Emmett is lying on the floor bleeding so I run to him.
"Emmett, you're going to be OK. The ambulance is on its way. You saved my life." He reaches his hand out to me and I can tell even the simple movement hurts him. I sit there holding his hand and telling him everything is going to be OK until the ambulance comes and then I'm not sure if I should go with him or stay with her.
"Alice go with Emmett. Bella will be fine. I'll be here when she wakes up." Esme tells me.
Just as I am leaving the cops so up and I think thank god this is finally going to be over as long as Emmett survives and Bella isn't completely emotionally destroyed.
What an absolutely awful ending to a perfect wedding.
