Chapter 9
Today was the day. The day that would break me even more. Edward and Tanya really are getting married. Whether I liked it or not, it was happening. I was feeling a list of emotions and I didn't know how to react to them. I was everything that related to sad, angry, heartbroken, and shattered. Carlisle was the one who would be reading the vows. The ceremony would be held in the house.
Alice made me look all pretty but I felt ugly in the inside.
"Bella, come on. You need to look pretty. You're going to wear a pretty navy blue dress and try to be happy. I know it hurts but try and be happy."
"Alice, how can I be happy or even try to be happy? It's impossible to be happy when you are in a situation like this. How would you feel if you were in this situation and Jasper was the one getting married? I am quite positive you wouldn't be happy."
"Bella…" She had nothing else to say.
"Alice, you don't have to say anything. It's a matter that none of us can change. It's going to happen. But how could you Alice? You planned their entire wedding. Did you even have a thought of me in your mind while you were planning it? Did you forget I was your best friend? I would NEVER do that to you. If you were in this situation, I wouldn't be the one to plan Jasper's wedding. It doesn't matter that Edward is your brother. How would you feel Alice?"
"I….I don't…know. Bella, you have to understand. I couldn't say no to Edward." She looked at me with sad eyes but I couldn't not be angry. What about when I was sad? Who cared for me? No one did and no one ever had any sympathy for me.
"It's whatever Alice. Let's drop this and just go to the wedding."
I got up and didn't give her a chance to respond to what I said. Right now as I stepped into the Cullens's beautifully decorated living room, I knew that it was time to release Edward and I would never have a future as I had always dreamed. If I could cry right now, I probably would. I kept my head down while walking to my seat. Alice told me I had to sit in the front. I wanted to avoid any eye contact with anyone.
I took my seat and toyed with my fingers to keep me busy. I felt someone tap my shoulder and I looked up to see Rose.
"Hey Bells, are you okay?"
"I'm okay." Of course, she knew I was lying. She nodded her head reassuringly to me. I knew Rose was here for me but at this point I didn't want to talk to anyone about how I was feeling inside. Alice took her seat next to me with Jasper and the wedding was starting.
Tanya walked down the isle alone but still she was smiling. I hated to admit the fact that she really was beautiful. Her hair flowed beautifully under the veil. Her blonde hair was long and really nice. I could see why Edward liked her. I should've known that Edward and I wouldn't have lasted long. A relationship with a human and a vampire was one that couldn't co-exist.
Tanya finally reached the front of the room and was standing beside Edward. Carlisle was the one who was reading the vows. I swallowed the venom pooling inside of my mouth.
"Do you Tanya Denali take Edward Cullen to be your husband?"
"Yes I do." She smiled widely and looked at Edward.
"Do you Edward Cullen take Tanya Denali to be your wife?" I swallowed the venom pooling inside of my mouth. I got up slowly and left. I couldn't stand to watch this happen on front of me anymore. I stormed outside and into the backyard.
Edward's POV
"Do you Tanya Denali take Edward Cullen to be your husband?"
"Yes I do," She replied to Carlisle. Tanya smiled widely and looked at me.
"Do you Edward Cullen take Tanya Denali to be your wife?" Before I could answer, I heard a chair creak and I saw Bella get up and leave. I caught a quick glimpse of her face and I knew she was torn. I knew it hurt her to see me marrying Tanya right before her eyes.
I didn't know whether to say yes or no to the question Carlisle asked me. I didn't want to spend eternity with Tanya. She wasn't whom I loved. Bella was. My heart was devoted to Bella and only her. I wanted to spend every single day with Bella not Tanya.
"No." Everyone in the room gasped very loudly.
"Tanya, I'm sorry but I don't want to marry you. I'm in love with someone else and I think you all know who that is."
She started weeping and her sisters went to go comfort her. I stood there not knowing what to do. I felt bad but I don't regret saying no. I attempted to try and hug Tanya but she pushed me away and yelled at me.
"NO EDWARD! GET AWAY FROM ME! I HATE YOU SO MUCH! HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME! YOU'RE SO SELFISH! DID YOU EVER THINK ABOUT MY FEELINGS?" She continued to weep without tears.
I started walking to towards the kitchen and Alice came after me.
"Edward, did you do it for Bella?" I did do it for Bella. For her and I. I wanted us to be together once again. Without Bella I wasn't complete.
