Chapter Twenty-Three:
Bella's POV:
"Bella."
I was vaguely aware of someone shaking me, although I was trying to ignore it.
"Go away." I mumbled.
Whoever it was laughed. Hang on, did I know that laugh?
"You have to wake up." They started shaking me again.
"Why?" I moaned.
"Because I said so." The voice was trying not to laugh.
"That's not a good enough reason."
"It is if you love me."
I opened my eyes, and looked up at the ceiling.
"I knew that would make you wake up." I turned over and saw Edward grinning at me.
"It was you."
Edward laughed. "Who did you think it was?"
"I have no idea. I was asleep." I yawned. "I hope you're happy about waking me up."
"It wasn't my choice."
"You are really confusing."
"Bella! You better be awake now!" Alice yelled from the hallway.
"Oh. Okay, you're forgiven now." I smiled.
"Thank you." Edward kissed my nose.
"Bella!" The yelling just got more high-pitched.
"Jeez! Alice, you know that only dogs can hear you now." I sat up and then laughed.
"Yay!" She opened the door and came skipping in. "You're awake, finally."
"You can come in." Edward said sarcastically.
"Well, duh." Alice whacked him round the head.
"Ow."
I pressed my lips together to try and not laugh.
"You -" She pointed at Edward. "– Out."
"What? Why?"
"Just go." She pointed at the door this time.
"Fine." Edward stood up, kissed me quickly and then walked out of the room, closing the door behind him.
"That was unnecessary." I glared at Alice.
"It was not!" She smiled sweetly at me. "Get dressed." Alice threw some clothes at me.
"Yes Ma'am." I stood up and walked into the bathroom.
"Don't take all day either!"
I quickly showered and then got dressed into the clothes Alice had handed me. It was just a pair of jeans and a t-shirt, which I wasn't expecting. I cleaned my teeth and shoved my hair up into a ponytail since it was totally unmanageable. I walked out and Alice was sitting on the bed examining her nails.
"Alice, you're nails looks fine."
She jumped. "Crap! You scared me."
"Guilty conscience much?"
Rose came to the door then. "What is taking so long?"
"Bella was getting dressed." Alice was back to looking at her nails.
"Thanks. Blame this all on me." I walked past Alice sitting at the foot of the bed and pushed her backwards, she fell back against the cover.
"What was that?" Alice squeaked.
"That was Bella being funny." Rose was giggling. I got to the door and high-fived her.
"I didn't think it was funny."
"I did!" Rose was giggling almost uncontrollably now.
Alice stood up and brushed herself down.
"Sorry Ali."
"It's okay." She smiled at me. "Can we go now? The other two will be here soon."
Okay, now I was confused. "Other two?"
"Did you pay no attention yesterday?!" Alice folded her arms, and glared at me.
"Um. Yes?" I said it like a question.
Rose had stopped giggling now, but you could tell she was still trying not to laugh. "Dress fitting?"
"Oh." Realization hit me. "Oh!" The other two Alice was referring to was Jess & Angela. "Ugh! Do we have too?"
"Nah-Uh! Do not make me go there, Bella!" Alice stomped off.
"Alright. Chillax." Rose giggled before following. I smiled before following after Rose.
"Rose." She looked at me. "Never say that word again."
She didn't say anything, she just started giggling again.
Alice was in her room, sorting through the wardrobe when we got there.
"Are you okay, Ali?"
"Hmm?" She turned round. "Yeah. Why wouldn't I be?" She walked towards the door and then turned round again.
"I don't know." I smiled.
"Why is Rose standing in the hallway giggling?"
"I told her not to say 'Chillax' ever again."
Alice giggled, and then walked out of the room. "C'mon Rose." She walked back in dragging Rose along by her hand. "I think she had sugar on her cereal again this morning." She walked Rose over to the bed and then walked away again.
"Rose?"
"Yeah?" She stopped giggling and looked at me very seriously.
"Did you have sugar on your cereal this morning?"
"Yes. And now the room is spinning." (Hannah Montana line, Sorry!)
I sat down next to her. "It's okay." I patted her arm.
Jess and Angela walked into the room. "What's wrong with Rose?"
"She's got sugar rush."
Rose whimpered, and then fell backwards onto the bed.
"Rosalie!" Alice shrieked.
"UGH! Don't yell!" Rose laid her arm over her face.
"Get up!"
Rose sat up and then leaned her head on my shoulder.
"Alice that was mean."
"How? If she hadn't have had sugar this morning, she wouldn't be in pain." She glared at us both.
"This is not my fault. You need to calm down!"
"You guys are so funny!" Jess laughed, but got glared at my Alice so stopped and then took a few steps back.
I smiled at them both. Jess stepped back in line with Angela.
Alice stood there for a couple of minutes being silent. I think Rose had fallen asleep on my shoulder, and I was confused.
"Ali?"
She composed herself and then smiled. "Yep?"
"What are we doing?" I shook Rose, who woke up.
"What? Is it time for school?"
Everybody giggled. "No. It's time to wake up though Rosalie." She lifted her head off my shoulder, looked around and suddenly stood up and bolted out of the room.
"O…Kay?" Jess turned round and walked out of the room, but promptly ran back inside. "Ew! She threw up!"
"On the carpet?"
"No." Jess shook her head. "The bathroom is like right there though." She pointed outside.
"She'll be okay." Alice called from the wardrobe. She then walked out holding 5 dress bags. She laid them down on the bed. "C'mon Bella." She grabbed my hand and pulled me towards her bathroom.
"What?" I was a bit late at asking the questions really.
Alice handed me one of the dress bags. "This." She pointed at it. "Is yours. You need to put it on."
At the mention of that, my face automatically paled and my heart started beating double-time.
"Bella?" Alice waved her hand in front of my face. "It's okay. It's just trying it on." She smiled.
I swallowed. "I know." I smiled back; well it probably looked more like a grimace. I think I heard her say something like 'God help us'. I wasn't sure though.
"Do you want me to help?"
I nodded. If I was like this at the mention of just trying it on, what would I be like on the actual day? I don't think I even wanted to think about it.
Alice took the dress out of the bag, and lifted it up. I'd forgotten how beautiful it was. Alice laid the dress on the floor.
"Bella. I'm going to put it on now? Okay?" She looked at me. "Oh." She giggled. "You need to take your clothes off first."
"That might help." I smiled. I was feeling slightly better now. Maybe actually seeing it had helped?
No, I was still freaking out and I still had two months until the wedding.
Oh Crap.
I wasn't really paying attention as Alice slid the dress onto me; I was trying concentrating on not hyperventilating.
"Bella?"
"Hmm?"
"You can look now." Alice spun me round toward the mirror.
I gasped as I saw myself. It looked even better than I thought it ever would, or could. It was amazing.
I spun round and threw my arms over Alice. "It's perfect! Thank you, Ali."
"Are you not nervous now?"
"No. I am. But I think seeing it like this is helping." I grinned.
"Can we see?!" Rose's voice came from the bedroom, she still sounded incredibly tired.
Alice took my hand and dragged me into the bedroom.
"OhMyGod. Bella you look beautiful." Rose grinned at me.
"You really do Bella." Angela agreed.
"Totally. I'm so jealous." Jess laughed.
"Does it look that good?" I looked back down at myself.
"Are you kidding? It looks amazing!" Rose clapped her hands. "I'm so excited!"
I didn't say anything.
"Right. You can take if off now Bella. Everybody else needs to try their dresses on." Alice shuffled me back into the bathroom.
After I was done taking it off. I walked back into the bedroom, and sat down on the bed. Everybody else had gone to go and put their dresses on.
I didn't really do a lot as I sat there; just trying not to burst into tears was the main thing. I don't know what was going on with me.
Was I scared to get married? I didn't know the answer to any of the questions going round in my head at the moment.
"OhMyGod!" A squeal came from the bathroom.
Everybody walked out. That brought me out of my trance.
"You guys!" I grinned. "You look amazing!"
"I know, right?" Jess grinned.
I stepped forward and hugged them all.
"Group hug!" Alice giggled.
"Seriously! You guys look better than I did!" I smiled as we all stepped back from the hug.
"No way! Don't start getting all insecure on us Bella!" Alice whacked my shoulder.
"It's true though."
"No. It. Isn't." She growled. "By the time I've taken this off you better be in a better mood." Alice walked off into the bathroom again.
"Is she going to be like this on the actual day?"
"Yep. But even worse probably." Rose smiled. "You did look amazing Bella. You just have to believe it." She hugged me once more before following Alice.
"They're both right." Angela smiled. "Really."
"Thanks." I smiled back.
I went and sat back down on the bed.
Maybe this wouldn't be as bad as I'd first thought. But would I be able to go through with it?
