Author Note : I really don't know what to say about this chapter. It isn't a good one. If you don't like this Bella, then you will hate this update. But she needs to have this little build up before the wedding. So, I'm sorry!!!
Chapter 13 ~ All I have
The Veronicas ~ All I have
'Cause you're all I have
When the world comes down on me
You're the one I love
And I'm begging you to see
You're all, you're all, you're all I have

"You are going to look gorgeous tomorrow, Bella" Emily smiled at me as we stood in front of her large mirror. Emily was Jacob's boss's wife. I was wearing my wedding dress and Emily was taking the final measurements. "Thank you." I smiled back. Angela walked over to stand behind me. I looked at her through the mirror. "You will look gorgeous." She reassured me. I grinned at her before dropping my gaze to the floor, slightly embarrassed at being called gorgeous. "Jake is going to love your dress!" Emily beamed, pulling out a needle and white thread from her bag. She stood again, pulling the back of my dress towards her, stabbing it with the needle.
"Although you need to stop loosing weight, Bella. Just as well we did a final check today, otherwise you would have fallen out of your dress!" She half scolded, half joked. I admit, I hadn't had much of an appetite recently. But I was doing better then before. I was just glad I had Jacob in my life, wasn't I? And tomorrow I would be his wife. Was I happy about that fact? I couldn't answer that. All I knew is I needed him. Selfish yes, but after having so many people I love walk out of my life, I couldn't give him up. Even if that meant marrying him.
"Bella?" Angela called, trying to get my attention.
"Sorry Ang, what did you say?"
"Emily has finished with the dress, she is in the bathroom at the moment, preparing the face masks." She informed me as she unzipped my dress. I let it fall to the floor before stepping out, grabbing my jeans from the floor. I looked up to see Angela staring at me through my reflection. "Bella, you are alright aren't you? You are happy to marrying Jacob?" She questioned, placing her hand on my shoulder. I nodded.
"Of course I am." I said whilst pulling up my jeans. I glanced back at the mirror to see Angela was still studying my face. I yanked my top from the floor, swiftly pulling it over my head. "Bella-" Angela began. Luckily Emily interrupted us as she walked in the room, carrying a bowl of what I could only assume was the face masks. I sighed with relief, collapsing onto one of the three chairs Emily had set out for us. I knew Angela wouldn't start that conversation up again whilst Emily was here. Emily placed the big bowl down by her feet before slapping her hands together. "Right, girls," she beamed, "whose ready for some pampering?"

"Bella" His voice echoed around me. "Bella." I turned around, again and again trying to find where his voice was coming from.
"Edward?" I called out, my voice no louder then a whisper. I realised then I was surrounded by trees.
"I am here, my love." He said, soothingly.
"Where?" I squinted, looking in the distance.
"Behind you," he whispered. I spun, squinted through the rain that was now gently pouring. Edward stepped through the trees, smiling at me. The rain start to fall harder, soaking me. Edward's hair was now dripping, his light grey shirt now dark grey. His shirt sticking to his chest.
"Edward." I whispered, a smile on my face. I ran the rest of the distance to him, his arms opened and I gladly slipped into them. "I missed you." I whispered against his chest.
"And I have missed you Bella." He released his grip, and moved back slightly so he could see my face. "I have to tell you something Bella. What you believe, my love, is a lie. Everything you believe is a lie."
"Edward, I- I don't understand. What are these lies?" He smiled softly at me. He opened his mouth to say something, but instead shot his head up, looking in the distance behind me. "Edward?" I questioned before turning my head. I could see Jacob slowly walking towards us. I looked closer at him. He held a gun in his hand. I gasped before Edward pulled me behind him. "Edward, no-" His silenced me by raising his hand. The pouring rain was making me shiver uncontrollably. I look across at Jacob. I couldn't see any of him left. His eyes held no sparkle, his face held no smile. "Jake." I whispered, wondering what happened to my friend. He turned his glare to me.
"Sorry, Bells. But this has to happen you see." He informed me as he raised the gun, pointing it at Edward. "You can't have your happy ever after with him. You can't have that choice." His eyes stayed on me. "You are the only thing I care about Bella. Don't leave me." Before I could do anything, Edward had leapt forward, making contact with Jacob. They rolled further into the forest, still fighting, disappearing into the trees. I couldn't tell what was happening. "Edward! Jacob!" I screamed, running in the direction they had rolled. A loud bang echoed around me. I screamed, falling to the floor.
I screamed loudly, awaking with a jolt. My heart was racing in my chest, my breathing erratic. Sucking in deep breaths I tried to calm myself. "It was just a dream, Bella." I whispered to myself. I heard footsteps coming to my room. My door clicked. "Bells," Charlie poked his head in. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah sorry Dad, I didn't mean to wake you."
"Are you sure, Bells?" He questioned before slipping completely into my room. "You have been screaming in your sleep for over a week now." I exhaled, although it was shaky.
"Sorry Charlie," I ran a hand through my hair. "I guess I just have a lot on my mind."
"Oh okay." He said, looking down. I could tell he didn't know what to do now. I could see was contemplating asking me what was on my mind or just leaving me be. I chose the option for him. "Sorry, Dad. I didn't mean to disturb you. Do you mind if I have a shower now though? I'd like to have a wash before Angela and Emily arrive." He nodded. He turned to walk out the door. He stopped, and turned his head to face me.
"You will do whatever makes you happy, won't you Bells?"
"What do you mean Dad?"
"Don't marry Jacob today if he isn't what you truly want. It will only end badly. Renee married me, but she really wanted Phil. It ended in everyone being hurt. So please, don't marry Jacob out of sympathy." He smiled at me before walking out and closing the door behind him.
I sighed before throwing myself back on the bed. I sighed again, this time rolling out of my bed, grabbing my wash bag from underneath my bed. I thought again of Charlie's words earlier. I am doing the thing that makes me happy. Right? Or was I just setting us all up for a big fall?
Author Note : I know a lot of you hate Bella. I am sorry about that, I hold my hands up! Its my fault. I don't want you to hate her for being 'whiney' or 'dependant'. She will become independent, very soon. Her head is all over the place. Anyway, I will update with the next chapter very soon. :)
