I was feeling like a life size Barbie doll, if I had to go though one more store full of pink and white I was going to poke my own eyes out. After what felt like years, it was really only two hours Alice was finally happy with what she called my 'honeymoon' wardrobe I was able to breath a sigh of relief. Why I needed a honeymoon wardrobe was beyond me. I was under the impression that on a honeymoon the point was to have sex, lots of it. And a girl didn't need clothes for that.
"Lunch? Ladies where should we eat?" Alice said looking around at all the places the Seattle mall had to offer.
After all the shopping and I was starving so I just shrugged, "Where ever." Just let it be bad for me.
Rosalie always the voice of reason said, "What if we just pick a table and then go get whatever and meet back here?" Alice nodded and I agreed so off we went to get food. Alice headed for Subway, Rose made a beeline for Coney Island and I heard the breadsticks calling my name from Rocky Ricoco's.
Twenty minutes later we were stuffing our faces. I was happily taking chunks of breadstick and dipping them in cheese sauce. This was the life. But then it happen, the voice from hell called out, "Bella! Rosalie! Alice!" We all turned in unison to see if it was true and sure enough there she was. Tanya. "OMG! I knew that had to be you guys!"
Tanya found her way over to our table and dropped into the empty chair next to me. She set all her shopping bags on the floor next to her feet and smiled at us. Alice bless her heart broke the silence, "Wow Tanya hi! How have you been?" She was sounding all to happy and a good friend of hers knew it was forced.
"Oh I've been just great. I just moved back to Seattle from California last week. It got a little boring." She was eyeing my breadsticks so I handed her part of one. "Thanks." I simply nodded, better my breadsticks then my boyfriend. "What about you three? How are things going. Alice how is the hunk of a brother of yours?"
Oh no she didn't? Rose rolled her eyes at me, Alice just blink trying to come up with something to say. But I spoke up this time. "Oh Edward is great. We are getting married in a couple of weeks." I smiled and held out my hand to show off my ring. 'Ha take that whore.' If only I could only say that out loud.
She looked dumbfounded, she blinked a few times and then said, "Huh, wow never saw that coming." It was about the most snobby tone I'd ever heard and I wanted to reach over and rip her hair out one by one but then we all heard her name being called. She turned and the look on her face was amazing, "Jamie! There you are. I was about to come find you but then I ran into my old friends from high school and I had to come say hello." She looked back at us, "Ladies this is James, James these are my friends." She smiled so big I thought I could count all her teeth, "This is Alice, Bella and Rose." We all gave a nod and a wave as our names were called.
I was still stuck on the friend part. When had we become friends? When she was going down on my prom date? Huh I must have missed that part of the friends book in school. "It's so nice to meet some of Tanya-Bears friends." I felt myself gag a little as the tall blonde kissed the top of her head and added, "We'll all have to geometer some time."
With that Tanya perked up, "Oh! When is the wedding? We'd love to come and we could catch up and all that fun stuff its been far to long." I shot Rose a look and she understood.
"The wedding is family only." She said with a small smile, I mentally gave Rose a high-five.
"Well then there is an all girls party right?" She looked at me and I fake a shrug and looked to Alice.
"This weekend yes. It's not much we are all just getting together at Rose's. Bella didn't want anything very big so we are keeping it simple." Not what I wanted her to say at all. I wanted her to say something like no and even if there was your not invited but Alice was to nice for her own good a times.
After we all exchanged numbers Tanya took off with that poor James following her like a puppy. He must be new because he was in for a treat with that one. I was being mean I knew that but hey give me a break. I watched them disappear out of sight and I couldn't hold back, "Come to the party Tanya, It will be fun! Really Alice!" I sighed in annoyance.
She shot back, "What was I going to tell her that it was invite only? And you can not put this all on me! Why did you even have to bring up the wedding?"
Alice was right, I hated when that happen but she was. I hadn't needed to tell her about the wedding. But part of me wanted to rub it in and hello she didn't even say congratulations! And it would have probably come out sometime anyway, things like that always got around. "I had to! I didn't know at the time she was here with someone and I wanted to make it clear that he was off the market."
"Like that will stop her! You do know who she is right?" Rose said finishing off her fries, "She'll sleep with any guy with a dick." She had a good point but Edward wasn't like that anymore. He wouldn't do that to me. Or maybe he would?
No! Edward Cullen was not like he was back in high school. And he loved me! Me plain old Bella Swan. We would be married in a couple of weeks and that was that. That was the plan and now that things had changed a little I was hoping it still was the plan.
"Bella!" Rose waved her hands in my face and I blinked, "Hey what's going on in that brain of yours?"
"Nothing." Alice looked at me and then at Rose, "Its no big deal I was just thinking about how messed up things have gotten lately."
"Try not to think about Jake Bella. Think wedding!" Alice smiled big and I couldn't help but smile back at her. She had always been the girl who saw the glass as half full. "Think wedding night and that sexy black thing we bought."
"Ha! Alice stop talking about my sex life, stop right there no more!" I said as I finished off my last breadstick.
"Sorry but I thought you guys were going with the no sex until the wedding thing. But this morning you look pretty sexed up." Rose snorted with laugher as she sipped her drink. "What?" Alice shot her a look.
"Sexed up? Who says that? And after her day yesterday I'd want some too." I started to laugh, "Anything to make me forget and if Edward is anything like Emmett he'd be able to make me forget all kinds of bad." She said smiling from ear to ear and I really didn't need to hear more.
"Rose!" Alice covered her ears and started to hum, "That is my brother!"
"What? Your sleeping with my brother and I don't see you censoring yourself around me!"
"Oh I do too!" She stuffed a chip in her mouth.
"Um hello! You were just talking about showing up at the office in nothing but 'fuck me' pumps and a trench coat!" I shook me head laughing that had been one hell of a story. We were walking by Payless and there were these black leather heels in the window and Alice had been oh so willing to tell us about what she had done for Jasper's last birthday. I thought Rose was going to run away screaming.
"Ladies, if we are done here I'd like to get on with the shopping so I can get home to Edward some time today." I finished my last bit of Coke and got up to toss away my trash. "Maybe before we go home we can get iced coffees at Starbucks."

'Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!' My brain was yelling at me as Emmett and I packed in the mall parking lot. The drive to Seattle had taken all to long but not long enough. I'd been debating with myself the whole way here and almost turned around twice but I was here and now there was no backing out.
"This is a bad idea Eddie!" Emmett was being so helpful today. "You'll be killed if they find out." I just looked at him like 'duh I know this' He went on, "We can just turn around and get the hell out of here."
"Could but what fun is that?" I got out of the car and Emmett followed over the top of the car he looked at me, "Don't say it!" He turned on his heels heading for the door. He mumbled something, it sounded like. "He's fucked." I hurried after him.
"So what is the plan?" He asked as we made it to the door of Starbucks, "We go in ask about Jake and then what?"
"I'm not about to mention Jake…" I shook my head, "I'm going to talk to her, see if she mentions him at all. Get her to talk about him."
"And I'm here why?" I looked around to see if I saw Lauren anywhere yet, "I'm thinking I'll just go sit in the car, come out when you've come to your senses."
"No! You know what Jake looks like. If he's here I want to know it." Emmett rolled his eyes but nodded, "Good now order something and sit down." I pushed him toward the line as I saw Lauren walk though the other door.
"Edward!" She had dyed her hair brown but she still had a voice of a banshee, it was hard to miss her. Ever.
Smiling I hoped it didn't look to forced, "La-La." She pulled mw into a hug for a few seconds, "You changed your hair I almost didn't know that was you." She ran her fingers though her brown locks and giggled, "Why don't we grab a table and then I'll buy us both a coffee."
"Why Eddie that would be so nice of you!" She took my hand leading me to a table in the back of the store. Emmett I was sure was getting a kick out of this. "So tell me what made you call me after all this time?"
"Well its been months and I was going to be in town so I thought we could catch up. Tell me how have you been?"
She folded her hand on the table and smiled her best flirtatious smile, "I've really missed you Eddie. It's been a long time I thought you'd gone and forgotten all about me." She ran her fingers up my arm, "But here you are so you must have missed me too."
"How about I get that coffee now? Same as always?" She sighed and nodded, I got up and did my best not to run from the table. I got in line behind a couple with a heavy sigh, I hadn't missed her one bit and it was pretty unclear why I ever had. Bella was so much better then her. I wasn't one who liked to compare but Bella was better in every possible way.
I got the coffees and headed back to the table but not before looking over at Emmett, he was smiling at me and I felt like it was saying "You started it now you finish it" Ass! Why had I brought him with me? Oh yeah I needed the alibi. "Here you are on mocha cappuccino." I handed Lauren hers and took my spot across from her. She smiled at me, "So where were we?"
"You were about to tell me how much you missed me." She batted her eyes at me and I had to bite my lip to keep from saying something. 'You did miss me right Eddie?"
I hated when she called me Eddie, when we were just sleeping together I let it slide because I didn't care as long as she got the job done but now it made me cringe. The only ones to get by with it were close friends, family and Bella because when she said my name it sounded oh so sweet, "Sure I missed you."
She smiled, "What did you miss?" Her hand had found mine on the table, "Because I know what I missed."
'This was a bid idea, bad!' My brain had kicked in now and it was screaming at me. I needed to keep her way from this topic. "Well let me tell you I missed lots but before we go there how about you tell me all about life without me?"
"Boring." She said with a shrug, looking at her now I realized she kind of looked like Bella but not in a good way it was kind of creepy. "It's no fun with you not around."
"Oh come on Lauren it can't be that boring." I took a sip of my coffee and glanced out the window.
"It really is, since we stopped you know meeting up I haven't had a good fuck." It came out all to easy for her like it was no big deal that there were people around.
I heard Emmett laugh and I almost sip out my coffee. "What about your boyfriend? He doesn't get the job done?" I looked over at her and she shook her head, "What?"
"Jake is so odd these days no time for me at all." She pouted, "Not like you use to." She ginned at me, "But you could solve that problem, Eddie."
"Lauren those days have come and gone." I set my coffee down, "But you're a great girl and I know what you do, he's missing out."
"Come now Eddie, you and I have always had a good thing we could start it again, no one would ever know just like before." She leaned over and ran her finger down my cheek.
"If I remember it right you were the one who stopped calling me. Told me things were good with the other new guy. What happen with him?"
"Not sure, something, he found out about his ex getting married and kind of flipped." Bingo, this is what I was here for. "It was odd he kicks her out for me and then she gets engaged to some guy and he's fucked up over it." She shook her head, "I even tried changing my hair to look like her but nothings helped." That would explain it.
"Sounds like you should get out well you still can." I sipped my coffee, "Who's the guy that kind of replaced me anyway?"
"His name is Jacob, Jacob Black. He used to work for my father but he started up his own dealership." I wasstarting to see a pattern here with her and how she met her guys.
"Nice, where is it here in Seattle?" I was only kinda caring at thias point I just wanted the facts about the idiot so I could get home to Bella.
"Yeah, it's the new BMW dealership in town." She was looking over my shoulder at something and I saw her eyes change. "Oh my god there she is!" I raised an eyebrow and before I had time to asked she answered for me, "Jake's ex."
My heart stopped, Bella. I didn't want to turn around but I knew I was going to have to make sure. I looked back and sure enough there she was with Rose and Alice. I was going to turn around fast but before I could I locked eyes with Bella. Her eyes got big and she smiled and then looked past me to Lauren and that smile I loved so much was gone.

"I'm going to fucking kill that lying son of a bitch!"
I wasn't sure what the hell happen but Bella started swear up a storm and was storming in to Starbucks before Alice and I had a chance to look around. Then I caught on to what was going down when I looked in the window of the store there was Edward with some girl and in the corner was Emmett. That boy would answer to me later
Alice and I followed Bella in the door and tried to catch up to her. "Alice maybe we should stop her before she kills him."
Alice added, "Or her." She nodded toward the girl who looked surprisingly like Bella herself, well now I knew Edward had a thing for brunettes too.
"What the fuck Edward!" Bella was mid rant when we walked in the people had gathered to watch and I had a feeling this was going to end in blood shed. "Her of all people you had to pick her!"
"Bella! It's not what you think really…." Bella cut him off with a nice hard slap to the face. "Fuck! Swan watch it will you!"
"And you!" She pointed to the girl, "Haven't you fucked up my life enough!"
I looked to Alice who was as lost as I was. Emmett had made his way over to me, "Emmett…"
"It's Lauren…" Now I understood but that wasn't how Lauren looked the last time I'd seen her.
"Me? What the fuck are you talking about! I didn't know you knew Eddie!" Eddie? Since when did anyone but us get by with calling him that?
"Oh to hell you didn't! You home wreaking bitch!" Bella lunged at her and the table and chairs went flying, coffee spilled and they both fell to the floor rolling around.
"Go Bells!" Emmett cheered her on as she got Lauren square in the jaw with a pretty hard punch.
"Emmett! Don't just stand there help me get them apart." I stepped up and tried to get a hold of one of them but instead got knocked on my ass. "Hey watch it!"
Alice, Emmett and Edward were now all trying to pull the girls apart and I was trying like hell to get out of the way. "Girls calm down!" Alice had on her mother tone but today it wasn't working.
"You lying bitch!" Bella was screaming at the top of her lungs and I was trying to keep up with the conversation.
"No you whore its true I knew him before you showed up." Lauren was shouting back at Bella.
"To hell you did I've knowing him for years and your not his type." Emmett had a hold of Lauren now and Edward was fighting to keep his hold on Bella. "Let go of me Edward you two-timing man whore!"
"Bella please stop and listen to me!" Edward was holding on to Bella stating his case and failing miserably. Alice pulled me to my feet.
And then the cops showed up and I'd never been more thankful in my life, "Alright listen up! Your all coming with us!" Until I heard that. Fuck first my top and now I was going to jail. I should have stayed in bed today.

I was sitting in my office reading over yet another attempt at a vampire love story. Really since Twilight hit big everyone and their brother was coming in with their own version. It was always the same, boy meets girl, girl is a vampire. She tells him he freaks out but can't stay away. He was confessing his undying love that's when I when I got the call. "Mr. Hale your wife is on the phone." My assistants voice sounded though the intercom.
"Thank you Jane." I picked up the phone, "Hey darlin'. How's the last minute wedding things coming along?"
"OH Jasper! You are never going to believe it. Your going to have to come get us, we kind of got arrested." Alice was crying or laughing? I couldn't quite tell.
"What? What happen? For What?" I thought maybe I was dreaming.
"It's a very long story but we are at the Seattle Police station."
I hung up and hurried out the door, "Jane cancel all my appointments for the day I need to go."
"What happen Jasper?" Jane asked looking rather worried.
"Alice and well everyone has been arrested."
I ran into the police station, "Hello I'm Jasper Hale I'm here to get my wife and the ones she was brought in with."
"Oh sure. Just go down the hall and take a left, can't miss them lots of yelling going on." The girl at the front desk point me back to the room where everyone was being held.
An hour later we were all back in the parking lot of the mall. Lauren had been picked up by someone and we all had a feeling it had been Jake but no one was saying out loud. Bella wasn't talking to Edward, Rose was yelling at Emmett and Alice was yelling at everyone. I just had to ask, "What the hell happen?"
Emmett being Emmett was the one who spoke up, "Ask Edward! I wouldn't even be here if it wasn't for him and his dumb fucking plan!"
"Oh I'm sure he had to drag you her kicking and screaming!" Rose was leaning on my car looking beyond pissed. "Look at my new top its got coffee stains!"
Bella hadn't spoke a word since I showed up but she was standing very close to Alice and I glaring at Edward. "I'm sure its not Edward's fault its mine for thinking I could trust him!"
"How many times do I have to say this I'm not sleeping with Lauren, I was there to see if I could find out where Jake was."
"Right and get a quickie in there to. I can't believe you knew her and didn't tell me about it." Bella was on the verge of tears and I looked to Alice who just shook her head and put her arms around Bella.
"No, I wasn't there to get a quickie! Fuck Bella I was only trying to find the psycho so he didn't ruin the wedding." Edward hung his head, we all looked at Bella.
"Well no need to worry about that! There isn't going to be a wedding!" She turned and stormed off to Alice's car. She slammed the door quite hard and I saw Alice flinch.
"Fine by me! I don't want to marry you anyway!" Edward stormed off got in his car and peeled out of the parking lot.
Alice and Rose looked at each other and at the same time mumbled, "Dumb ass."
Emmett looked to where Edward had been parked, "Fucker left without me!"
I shook my head, "Get in Em I'll drive you home." With a quick kiss from Alice and a glare to Emmett from Rose we all got in our cars and headed to Forks.
All of us in our own way plotting how to fix things between Edward and Bella because there was no way in hell either one of them meant what they said. And we all knew one with out the other was like having a day with out a night. They were perfect for each other.
