"Alice!" I started to whine. "Tell me where we are going!" I had said this over a hundred times but still she wouldn't tell me. Right now she was going for the ignore-Bella-and-maybe-she'll-stop-talking approach.
I rolled my eyes and slumped back into the seat. We had taken the Volvo. I looked out at the too fast flying scenery, trying to figure out where we were going. Of course, all I saw was green passing by. I sighed and closed my eyes.
"We're here!" Alice sang happily. Obviously my reluctance and bad attitude didn't hurt her cheerful persona. I groaned and opened my eyes. We were at… actually I had no clue where we were.
It was a large building I had never seen before. I looked at Alice confused. I knew I would have seen this building before if it was in Forks. Alice giggled at my confusion. "Well, are you going to get out or will I have to shove you out?" she asked mockingly. I rolled my eyes and open the door.
There was a cold breeze, but luckily no rain. The clouds weren't exactly thick but they weren't thin and wispy, so there would be no sun coming through them. I smiled.
"See happy already," Alice was grinning. I rolled my eyes.
"Didn't you say we were going to get my mother?" I asked remembering her words but at the house. She seemed to get over excited at my words which made me even more suspicious. She giggled and pulled me towards the huge building. I sighed and followed.
As we got about two steps away from the building I decided to ask a different question. "Where are we? I don't recognize the building."
"I'm not surprised," she said under her breath. I glared at her and stopped.
"Tell me where we are or I'm not moving," it was a vain to think that Alice couldn't get me through the door if she really wanted to but I had to try. She laughed as though she knew what I was thinking. It must have been plain on my face. I rolled my eyes and sighed, not moving. I folded my arms across my just a glared. Alice made a face.
"Don't make me drag you in," I couldn't tell if she was joking. I decided if I was going in there, one way or another, I might as well do it in a dignified fashion. I pouted and took a tiny step forward. Alice's smile returned. I took another step.
"If I take little steps, how long will it take me to get inside?" I asked sarcastically taking another little step.
"Bella," Alice whined. I laughed
"No whining Alice," I mocked. Smiling I took a bigger step that placed me right in front of the door. "Is it safe?" I asked with a smile, over my shoulder. I saw Alice roll her eyes. I threw my hands up in defeat, "ok ok I'm going in." I pushed the door open.
It was innocent enough. A reception desk, a couple plants, a few sofas and tables covered in magazines. I still had no idea where we were. I wouldn't kill them to put I sign or something up.
I looked for Alice but she was already at the reception counter. I sighed and walked slowly towards her. When I reached to the desk I saw I few business cards. The card read 'Seattle Palms Hotel and Spa.' My mouth dropped open.
"Alice!" I whined. She threw me look. I scowled at her. She turned back to the receptionist.
"…in room 162," The receptionist finished.
"Thank you," Alice said smiling. She handed the receptionist a couple of bills. I would remember bring up the money later. Alice turned to me, "lets go." Her smile was too big. I grimaced and started to walk to the elevators.
"Am I going to like?" I asked in the elevator. Alice laughed.
"Nope," she was still laughing. "But you'll have no choice." I shuddered. "Don't worry. You'll start to like it near the end."
"Thanks," I muttered sarcastically. We reached the right floor and went to room 162. I stepped inside. I stood in the doorway for a few minutes just blinking. Everything – and I do mean everything – was covered in something flowery, lacy, sparkly or pink. When I recovered, I took a hesitant step inside.
"How the –" I started as I opened the door into the bedroom. I gaped at the huge room. There were at least 6 dozen roses. One had a note attached to it;
I love you.
I smiled and hugged the note closed. Alice cleared her throat behind me. I turned. Right next to Alice, I saw Renée standing there smiling almost as widely as Alice. Almost. I put the note in my pocket and went to hug her. She hugged me harder then normally. Alice cleared her throat again. I looked up at her. "Your spa treatment is waiting." I groaned and pulled away from my mom.
"Alice..." I started to whine. She shushed me with her finger. I rolled my eyes.
"Let's go and bond with your mother," she pulled me and Renée by the hands.
"It's best if you do what she says when she says it," I whispered to Renée as we were pulled along. She smirked. Alice threw me a look over her shoulder. I giggled.
I groaned and rolled over. Why did Alice insist on staying up so long?
We had spent the whole day in the spa downstairs doing whatever we wanted. Actually more like everything Alice wanted. Alice reserved the whole spa for us. I wondered how much she paid to get the spa to not let in any costumers all day. I decided it was best if I didn't think about it and just enjoy.
Then after the spa torture Alice insisted both me and Renée eat a lot because we would be staying up all night. I didn't take her seriously until it was past midnight and she still had fifty more things to do. I wondered where she hid her 'List of everything I need to torture Bella with"
We didn't go to bed until past four AM. Alice whined that it was still too early but I quietly told her not all of us didn't need sleep. I smiled when I remembered her smile vanish and the sad tone of voice when she told us to go to bed. Renée had the room next to us.
I opened my eyes so I could read the time. Slowly, shapes came into focus. I looked and the digital clock that was on the bedside table. Holy crow! It was past 2. Only 22 more hours. I smiled, and threw my head back on the pillow.
"I know you're awake," Alice said cheerfully knocking on my door. I grimaced. Of course she knew.
"What's the point of knocking?" I said not even trying to keep my voice light.
"I'm just trying to be courteous." She giggled and opened the door.
"Is the fun over yet?" I asked. She heard the sarcasm and hope in my tone and glared at me. I glared back. Soon I had to look away because her glare was starting to give me a headache. She laughed.
"I win," she was cheerful again. "We have a few more things to do and then we're going back to the house." I laughed at how happy she could still be after all my complaining.
"Can I talk to Edward?" I really missed him. Alice's smile faded slightly.
"No Bella. You know the rule."
"It's a dumb rule," I muttered under my breath. She went on as if I'd said nothing.
"Now get dressed or we won't be done in time." She stood and left the room.
"By a few things, how many things did you mean?" I called. All I heard was a giggle. I rolled my eyes and stood to get dressed.
Renée was already downstairs waiting for us. She was smiling with a special glint in her eyes. I knew that look all to well. I turned to Alice, "are you taking us shopping?" Alice knew I hated shopping.
"Just a little bit," she was cheerful. I groaned.
We walked threw Seattle for hours. A 'little bit' meant 5 hours in Alice's mind. But after the first hour I actually started to have fun.
First we ate breakfast - Alice stuffed food in her napkin when she was sure Renée wasn't looking.
Then we went to look at shoes. Alice bought 8 pairs of shoes for herself – at least I hopped they were for her - and insisted on buying at least one pair for me. Renée bought a pair too.
After we were sick of shoes – well Renée and I were – we looked through racks and racks of clothing. Again, Alice bought a ton of things for herself, and so did Renée for that matter. I was the odd one out who didn't try anything on. Knowing Alice, she had probably bought half the stuff for me so she could play dress up with me... Again.
It was quarter past 7 seven when Alice finally announced we were going home. I sighed in relief. Renée didn't know about Alice's speeding so she thought we wouldn't be back till 3 in the morning. Alice drove normally until Renée fell asleep then she went top speed.
We made it back at 9.
When we finally returned home, Alice was looking at me with a smug look on her face.
"What?" I asked.
"You had fun." It wasn't a question.
"A little," I admitted Alice would probably know if I lied. Her grin got huge.
"I knew you'd love it!!" she exclaimed suddenly appearing in front of me to give me a huge hug.
"Can't… breathe" I whispered after she didn't let my go for over a minute. She chuckled and went to the door.
"I'll get Renée in a second." She said when I didn't move immediately. I sighed and walk into the house.
I walked up to my room and got ready for bed. Before I brushed my teeth, I pulled Edward's note out of my pocket and put it on my pillow. I brushed my teeth and laid down with a glowing happiness inside me. It was my last night as Bella Swan. Tomorrow, I would be Mrs. Edward Cullen. I read the note over and over until I slipped into unconsciousness.
So the wedding is in the next chapter which means The Day After is coming to an end. Only two more chapters left. :(
I would continue them, But since the actual Breaking Dawn is coming out on Saturday (YAY!) I decided it would be a good idea to stop writing them now. Plus, my mind is a complete blank on where to go next.
So the next chapter will be out Tommorow and then the last one :( will be out Thursday.
