Enjoy!

I left the bedroom when my name was called. I sat with my children and parents all the way to the church, my head running with thoughts. I shook hands with everyone and smiled politely, my mind in a different place. My heart was thumping and I searched wildly for someone. I don't know who that someone is, but when my eyes landed on them, I knew exactly who I was looking for.

Chapter ten.

I sat in the back room with the rest of the bridal party. Bethany was gushing over how thin her dress made her look. I almost snorted out loud at that comment. It isn't that she isn't skinny, it's just that the dress makes no difference. It's far to puffy to be able to tell anyway. To be honest, she looks like something you would put on a toilet roll holder.

I could easily see into the church and wanted to laugh at Oliver and my Dad messing with their ties. It was like something you would see in some cheesy wedding movie, father and son doing the same thing.

When I looked back into the room, Bethany was looking at me with her eye brow raised. I wanted to flip her off, but I just smiled politely. She looked away, talking to her maid of honour. I really don't see what my dad sees in her. Sure, she's pretty, and nice, sometimes, but she isn't anything like my mom. I know I'm bias, but I'm not blind or stupid.

Seeing my mom break down, nearly everyday, hurts. My dad broke her, in many ways. She puts up a tough front, especially since everything that happened at Christmas. But, I can see behind the mask. I don't hate my dad for what he's done, but I don't particularly like him either. I hate going to stay with him, because I know my mom is at home alone, and I really don't like Bethany. Leaving dad's was okay, because he has her.

"I can't believe I am going to be Mrs. Bethany Maryanne Cullen." Bethany squealed. I wanted to throw-up, but I resisted the urge. "Mrs. Cullen." She sighed dreamily. This time I actually gagged a little. She heard, then turned her head and glared at me. Talk about if looks could kill.

"Do you have a problem?" She asked. I rolled my eyes, but didn't reply. "Go away. Go and annoy your father or something." I smiled happily and stood up, walking towards the door leading to the church. When she turned around again, she looked at me through the mirror. I couldn't resist it; I flipped her off before I left, laughing at the shock on her face.

I ran out the room in the stupid green dress she made me wear and laughed in the back of the church. I'm sure everyone was looking at me like I have four heads, or something, but I don't care, it only made me laugh harder.

"Shannon." I looked up when my name was called, tears streaming down my face. I could see my mom stood there next to Rose, shaking her head and waving me over. I took a few deep breaths and walked over to her, sitting next to her as she sat.

"Hi mom." I smiled and kissed her cheek. She smiled back and wiped under my eyes, taking away the tears with her thumbs. She did this all the time when dad first left. It was hard on us all, but mom took it the worst, as we all expected. She did walk in them, after all.

"Hey, baby." She sighed, looking over the dress with disgust. Yeah, I hate it too.

"How you feeling?" I ask, knowing how hard this has to be for her. She shrugs, taking a deep, shaky breath.

"She'll be fine." Aunt Rose butts in. "Now, why were you laughing so hard?" She smirks. I fill her and my mom in, and they are both laughing by the time I have finished.

I couldn't take my eyes off of her as she walked into the church and took her seat toward the back of the room. She kept her head down, a chocolate curtain shielding her from everyone's stare. Rosalie was with her, holding her head up high and smiling at everyone. She's not ashamed to be the ex-wife. My heart wanted to beat out of my chest as I looked at her. It felt like our wedding day all over again. Me standing waiting and seeing Bella walk in.

Bella looked up and her eyes met mine. Her eyes looked over my face as I did hers. When our eyes met again, she smiled slightly and brought her hand up, waving at me. I was shocked, but I waved back and smiled my crooked grin at her, knowing how much she loves it. As soon as I did though, her hand dropped, as did her smile.

She sat and put her head down again, shielding her from me this time. I didn't have time to dwell on it, as Shannon came running out of the back room, laughing loudly. I quirked an eye brow at her but she wasn't looking in my direction.

I couldn't help but smile at her laughing form and shake my head. I laughed when she snorted, making herself laugh harder. Everyone was now looking at her, but she just carried on laughing, at what, I have no clue.

Bella stood up and called out Shannon's name, waving her towards her. I couldn't help but admire the way the her blue dress made her skin look so creamy. It only reached mid-thigh, but her shoes made her legs look miles long. Her hair had been perfectly curled and her make-up was simple and flawless.

Shannon joined her and they talked with Rose. Before I knew it, all three of them were laughing, tears streaming down all their faces.

"Ed, man. It's time." Emmett boomed from behind me. My heart stopped, and I looked at Bella. I couldn't take my eyes off her as she laughed, looking so carefree, so beautiful.

"Okay, I'll tell Shannon." I muttered, walking towards them. Bella looked up as I walked towards them and she wiped under her eyes, trying to breath properly again.

"Shannon, it's time to get ready." She just smirked at Rose and started laughing again. What is with her today?

"Shannon." Bella sighed, poking her in the side. Shannon squealed but stood up and left to the back room again.

"What's so funny?" I ask both woman.

"Well…" Bella started but my name was called at the front.

"Explain later. I have to get married." I sighed, and with one last glance at Bella, I made my way to the front, a fake smile on my face.

"Explain later. I have to get married." He sighed. He almost didn't sound happy about it, but we all know otherwise. Edward smiled at us, but there was something about it, before walking to the front of the church.

My heart had been hurting all day. I thought I was over this. I thought I could sit here and smile through it all and stay for a little while into the reception. I thought I could wait until I got home to cry. My throat began to swell and I tried to swallow the lump in it. I tried to be brave and strong coming here, but the truth is I'm not ready.

"All rise." The vicar demanded. We all stood and I kept my head down. The wedding march started and so did my tears. I tried to wipe them away, but Rose saw and she grabbed my hand, giving it a squeeze. I looked up at her and smiled, wiping the tears again.

I followed everyone as the sat again. I didn't realise the whole wedding party was now in position, including the soon-to-be bride. To be honest, she looks awful. Her fake, dyed brown hair was up in a messy bun, like something you would do if you were going for a jog, not to get married. Her whole body, that was exposed anyway - which was a lot - was orange. Her fake nails were falling off and there was already a few missing.

"What does he see in her?" Rose asked me, quite loudly. I shrugged, really not knowing.

I didn't listen to the vows, busy wiping away all my tears. I could see how they were smiling at each other, but Edward's was forced. Shannon and Oliver looked so helpless up there, looking between me and Edward. I know that they want their parents to be together again, but its too late now.

Bethany said her 'I do's' and everyone looked at each other and smiled. Tears were running down Bethany's face and she would turn to us all and smile widely. Her eyes found mine and she smirked, but looked away before anyone could see it. Bitch. I looked down, waiting for all of this to be over.

"Edward Anthony Cullen, do you take Bethany Maryanne Lewis to be your wife?" I looked up and saw that Edward was looking back at me. I wanted to scream at him to stop, to tell him I love him and I want to be with him, but I stayed quiet. I begged him with my eyes to say no, to take me away from everything.

"Edward?" Bethany stage whispered. He slowly turned to look at her, but looked back at me with the corner of his eye. I stood and dropped Rose's hand.

"I'm sorry, I thought I could do this, but I can't." I whispered to her, getting out the row of seats and onto the aisle. I ran to the doors and threw them open, running out into the gardens. Sobs started to rise from my throat as I ran across the wet grass towards my car.
