Any moment everything can change
Feel the wind on your shoulder
For a minute all the world can wait
Let go of your yesterday
Can you hear it calling?
Can you feel it in your soul?
Can you trust it's longing
And take control?
Fly, open up the part of you that wants to hide away
And you can shine, forget about the reasons
Why you can't in life and start to try
'Cause it's your time, time to fly
All your worries, leave them somewhere else
Find a dream you can follow
Reach for something when there's nothing left
And the world's feeling hollow
Can you hear it calling?
Can you feel it in your soul?
Can you trust it's longing
And take control?
Fly, open up the part of you that wants to hide away
And you can shine, forget about the reasons
Why you can't in life and start to try
'Cause it's your time, time to fly
And when you're down and feel alone
Just want to run away
Trust yourself and don't give up
You know you're better than anyone else
Any moment everything can change
Feel the wind on your shoulder
For a minute all the world can wait
Let go of yesterday
Fly, open up the part of you that wants to hide away
And you can shine, forget about the reasons
Why you can't in life and start to try
Fly, forget about the reasons
Why you can't in life and start to try
'Cause it's your time, time to fly
Any moment everything can change

I don't actually remember agreeing to marry Jacob it just sort of happened. I got home from class after Dad had called me home early one day and when I got there Jacob and Billy Black where waiting for me. It all went by in a quick blur and somehow I recall Jacob getting down on one knee my dad saying "Yes" and me getting a ring on my finger. Whoever said getting engaged was fun and exciting lied. It seemed to me that everything before I said yes was organized and ready. In a month Jacob and me would be husband and wife. In one month any chance of Edward and me would end. I guess it's a good thing, he's moving on. I'm moving on….I hope.
One month later
I stood there in front of the long mirror looking at myself and wondering what was next for me. What was going to happen to me and how I was going to be any different once I went through this. In time people would forgive me. I know Alice will take great relief in my actions today. There was no holding back, I had to do this if I was ever going to grow up. I opened the door to my bedroom and left heading down the stairs. I shuffled past people quickly I was surprised how in all the excitement no one noticed me leave.

When this day came I knew I had failed. I had warned Bella not to do this and she never listened. She told me she knew what she was doing and that she wanted to marry Jacob. That he was her forever. I knew she was lying of course. Edward was hers and she just didn't believe that anymore. I had left her upstairs alone getting ready like she has asked me to. She looked beautiful too bad it was all for the wrong man. She had made me help Charlie, her words were, "Charlie can't plan a wedding I'd be proud off." So I did and I was proud of the wedding I just wish it had all been for her and Edward. Jacob was nice but he didn't realise he was being used for Charlie's own games. Charlie needed to trap Bella and by marrying Jacob who loved Forks and would never leave insured this.
I looked around and Charlie was rushing back and fourth downstairs getting everyone settled and bragging about how amazing it was his daughter and his best friend's son are engaged and about to be married. It made me sick. I pulled my phone out from my flowers and redialled Edward for the fifty thousandth time trying to order him to hurry up but instead like always it went straight to voice mail. If he was going to do something he had to do it soon before it was too late. That is if he was going to do anything.
I hung my phone and put in back in my flowers before going into the back garden to the gazebo. It's hard to think one year ago Bella and Edward were here together happy and now Bella was going to be married to the wrong guy in it. I found jasper.
"Bella's supposed to be ready soon so you need to get all the guys together in Jacobs side and I'll grab all the brides maids ok?" I asked.
"Sure thing Alice. I love you." He smiled before going off to Jacob.
"I love you too," I whispered.
I got all her brides maids together, Lauren and Jessica. She hated them the Bella I knew would never have picked them to be her brides maids. I quickly walked up the stairs and made my way to Bella's bedroom. I opened the door.
I found nothing.
Except a single letter left on her dresser. I smiled as in my heart I already knew what it said. She had broken free. I walked slowly back downstairs before finding Charlie and placing the letter in his hand.
I walked outside and up the middle of the crowd and stood facing them at the alter.
I laughed before speaking, "This shows over. Everybody go home."
I never saw so many people on Bella's side smile. Jacob however I never saw so sad. I walked over to him.
"You knew in your heart this wasn't meant to be," he smiled at me.
"I know. I wasn't only hoping."
"There is someone out there for you it's just Bella's not it."
When Charlie gave me the letter I looked at it and smiled.
Dear Charlie,
I'm gone and I'm just not coming back any more. I knew when I turned 18 last week that I wasn't going to marry Jacob. I love him but as a friend and not the way you want me to. Ever since mom died I let you control me out of love for you and her. I hoped that by doing this it would help you move on and to be my dad. Instead you trapped me and forced me to do what you wanted. You chased after things like being the mayor of Forks for no reason and you left me behind. I love you dad but I say no more. I waited for my 18th because I can escape and I don't have to report to you anymore. I'm going to go now and live my life for me.
Good bye
I love you always
Bella

I got onto the bus in my wedding dress, paid for my ticket, sat down and took a deep breath.
I was free from everything that held me down. Well almost everything.
I watched the WELCOME TO FORKS sign pass me by as the bus left my small town. I said goodbye to my past and welcomed the present and future.

By the time I got to Bella's house it was empty, any signs of a wedding had vanished. I was too late.
I didn't stick around to have Charlie boast any more in my face than I'm sure he would in a letter that I would get in the next couple days. I'd lost her. I thought I was going to have Bella back by tonight but it seems fate had other plans. I drove back out of Forks rushing to get home. To get out of this town again and try and escape all the memories I had that would come flooding back and remind me of the pain I was in without Bella.
I just wanted to get out of here already. I got stuck behind a bus, I beeped my horn of impatience causing the passenger in the back seat to turn around out of fright. It was Bella. She looked almost the same except her hair was longer than before and trailed down her back and she looked to be in a wedding dress. I slowed down and began to follow the bus waiting for the next stop. The bus stopped and Bella got off. She waited as I drove into the stop and got into my car.
"Hello Edward." She whispered.
"Hello Bella." I replied back.
"Where do you want to go?"
"Anywhere."
I started the car and drove away leaving Forks and Charlie in the dust.

"So how come your back in Forks? You visiting Alice?"
He focused on the road before replying, "Nope."
It went silent.
"So what are you doing here?" I asked again.
"I was here for a wedding." He fluffed at my wedding dress.
"Charlie invited you to my wedding?"
He laughed, "Sort of."
He filled me in on everything the threats, running away, Charlie, the invitation and I just took it all in. When that was over the car went silent. I had to know though.
"So what does all of it mean?"
He smiled, "I love you Bella. I never stopped I ran away to save you."
"You could have told me."
He stopped the car, "I don't want to think about what I could of and should have done. All I want now is you."
"I love you too Edward. I never stopped either."
"Will you marry me, Bella?"
She laughed, "No."
"NO?"
"I've just got away from my father and from a marriage I didn't want. I want to live for me."
"Can't you do that whilst being engaged."
"I need time. I've just found my own two feet let me test them out for a bit before walking with someone else at my side."
"So does this mean you want to be alone?"
"No."
I shuffled a bit, "I want you in my life but I want us to start again, to have a date, to become boyfriend and girlfriend again. To fall in love again."
"I'm already in love with you but if you want let's try then."
He pulled me over to him and kissed my lips. For the first time in months I felt my heart beat just that bit faster like it used to.
