Well guys, guess what? There are only three chapters left; this, the wedding, and an epilogue.
I'm working on my next story right now. It's going to be called: You Can't Fight Fate
You can thank Emilie for today's quote. She saved me a lot of time, I didn't have to quote searching, she just handed this one to me. Obviously, we both love MCR.
"When you go just know that I will remember you. I've lost my fear of falling, I will be with you."

Two months later…
"Isabella Marie Swan, get down here!"
Alice's voice rang through our entire house. I don't know why she bothered to yell. With vampire hearing, she could just speak at a normal level, and I could hear her all the way upstairs.
"Gah…" I groaned, as I buried my face in my pillow, and hid under the blankets. "What did I do now?"
"You are truly adorable when you're frustrated," Edward said, pulling me closer to his bare chest, to leave a trail of kisses down my neck. I shivered at the touch, and rolled over to face him, and he moved his lips to mine. He attempted to deepen the kiss when…
"Bella!"
I pulled away, and swore under my breath. Stupid Alice had to go about ruining our moment. Edward chuckled, as I rolled out of bed, and went to the closet, to get dressed. What could she possibly want?
"What does she want?" I asked, pulling on a pair of jeans. "Just so I'm warned…"
Edward chuckled. "I'll tell you that, when you tell me when you got that little outfit."
If I could have, I would have blushed. He was referring to the lingerie set that Alice had bought me that day in the mall. The one I was currently wearing, underneath a pair of jeans, and one of Edward's old t-shirts, that I was now pulling over my head. Instead of replying, I just gave him a sheepish grin, and ducked out the door. That was one question I'd prefer not to answer.
I scurried down the stairs, gracefully. This vampire thing, yeah, it was real good for my health. I wouldn't have to worry about dying because I tripped down the stairs, or walked in front of a bus anymore. Grace was a beautiful, beautiful thing.
I got to the living room, and Alice was waiting for me, bouncing on her toes.
I wasn't in trouble. It was much, much worse. Alice was excited about something. Oh crap, that couldn't possibly be good. When Alice is excited about something, it usually involves me being her personal Barbie doll, or taking me shopping. I'd rather jump off a cliff.
"Bella! Guess what!" She squealed.
I winced. Here goes…
"Laurent is going to get married!"
I blinked. Well, that wasn't exactly what I was expecting to hear. Was I hallucinating? Or did she just say Laurent was going to get married? Either I was hallucinating, or Alice was on crack. Could vampires actually be on crack?
"Did you hear me?" She asked. Dear God, she was still bouncing.
"Are you on crack?"
Alice stopped. "What?"
I shook my head. "Never mind. I just thought you said Laurent was getting married."
"I did."
"To who…?" I exclaimed, "He's not even dating anyone!"
Alice laughed, and tapped her head. "He will be…"
I sighed. "Oh,"
She nodded frantically. Okay, so now Laurent was getting married. My best friend was getting married. I knew it, Alice knew it, but Laurent didn't even know it.
"So," I said, raising an eyebrow.
"So what?" She asked, cocking her head to the side.
I rolled my eyes, "Who is he going to marry?"
Alice beamed. "Tanya."
"Tanya," I echoed with a smile. "I like Tanya. She's sweet. She'll be good for him."
Alice was about to speak, when the front doors swung open. Laurent was home. Ever since the Jacob incident, Laurent had been staying in the guest bedroom. We all got along nicely. Even he and Emmett had formed some sort of a friendship. Well, they weren't exactly close, but they didn't try to rip each other's throats out, which was good enough.
"Hey girls," Laurent said with a smile.
"Heya," Alice greeted. "Bella, meet me upstairs. Since the wedding is in a week, we have a few last minute things to work out, alright?"
I nodded, and she skipped away, and up the stairs. No joke, she literally skipped. Drugs once again crossed my mind.
"So, what's up doll face?"
I rolled my eyes at my nickname. Truth be told, I really didn't mind it. It bothered Edward at first, but once I convinced him that Laurent and I were like brother and sister to each other, he backed off a bit. He still kept an eye on him though, in case he decided that we wanted me as more then a sister. But now that he was getting married…
"Nothing really," I lied. I couldn't hide my grin though, so I ended up caught.
"Liar," he scoffed.
"I'm just in a good mood," I shrugged. "Anything new with you?"
"Well," he said with a small smile. "I have a date,"
I grinned, and bounced a little on my toes. "With who!?" I asked. I realized that I probably looked as ridiculous as Alice had. As I realized this, I stopped bouncing. I didn't want anyone to think I was the one on drugs.
"Tanya,"
"Ooh!" I squealed. "I like her, she's a sweetheart. She's good for you."
He grinned, "Yeah, I like her too, obviously."
I tried to speak, but again, Alice ruined it.
"Oh Bella…." She sang. I could practically see her bouncing in the center of her bedroom.
I rolled my eyes, my enthusiasm was fading quickly. Alice's perkiness would get annoying someday. No matter how much I loved her, eternity was a really long time. With a sigh, I trudged up the stairs to her bedroom. I heard the beautiful song from outside the room, and once I entered, and heard the lyrics pumping from the speakers, I was sold.
When I see your smile
tears roll down my face
I can't replace.
And now that I'm strong I have figured out
how this world turns cold and it breaks through my soul,
and I know I'll find deep inside me, I can be the one.
I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all,
even if saving you sends me to heaven.
It's ok
It's ok
It's ok
Seasons are changing and waves are crashing
and stars are falling all for us
days grow longer and nights grow shorter
I can show you I'll be the one.
I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever.
I'll be there for you through it all,
even if saving you sends me to heaven.
Cause you're my
you're my, my
my true love
my whole heart
please don't throw that away.
"That," I said, pointing to the stereo, "that is our song."
Alice, who was sitting on the bed, with her legs crossed, and magazines spread around her, cocked her head to the side. "What song?"
Rosalie, the wedding expert, knew exactly what I was talking about. She grinned, and nodded feverishly. "Their wedding song! The one that they have their first dance to!"
"Oh!" Alice squealed. "Bella, I love it!"
I grinned. "Do you think Edward will like it?"
I heard a soft musical laughter come from behind me, and saw Edward standing in the doorway. He was wearing a pair of jeans, and a black turtleneck. My smile widened, and he came to stand next to me, and snaked an arm around my waist.
"I think," He said, "that he will love it."
"Good," Rosalie replied, "because we were going to choose it whether he liked it, or not."
"One week," Edward said, kissing me on the cheek. "We are going to be married in one week."
"One week," I echoed.
I was still in shock. If someone told me two years ago, that I was going to marry someone as beautiful, as wonderful, and as perfect as Edward Cullen, I would have referred them to a very nice doctor, who would probably introduce them to a straightjacket. I still had trouble believing that he was truly mine, and we really had an eternity to spend together.
One week. I would be Isabella Marie Masen Cullen in one week. That's seven days. In seven days I would be a Cullen.
Cause I'm here, for you
please don't walk away and
please tell me you'll stay, stay..
Use me as you will
pull my strings just for a thrill
and I know I'll be okay
though my skies are turning gray.
I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
even if saving you sends me to heaven.
I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
even if saving you sends me to heaven.
This was going to be one hell of an eternity.

I'm not sure if I like this chapter all that much either. It's mainly just filler fluff. Next is the wedding!
Oh, and if I didn't mention a guest room before, I'm mentioning it now, kay? XD
