I don't own Twilight. SM does.

"Alice! There you are! I've been looking for you all over! I thought you'd need a loo break by now!" I managed to make it look like I had emerged from the banqueting room rather than the staging area.
"Bella! I've been looking for you too! I'm desperate for a wee!" She exclaimed.
"You OK Bella?" Jasper asked. "You look a little flushed."
"Oh, I'm fine. A bit too much champagne, a little bit of running around..."
"Right. Well, speaking of champagne, we haven't managed to have any yet! Those photos took ages!" Jasper kissed Alice softly before heading back to the reception.
I led Alice to the disabled loos so that we'd have room to manoeuvre her dress.
"Enjoying everything so far?" I asked, once I'd got her situated.
"Yes, although it's all a bit surreal. Bella, I'm married!"
"I know, Pixie! The ceremony was gorgeous." Even though I didn't hear a word of it.
"It's exhausting though. The photos, meeting everyone."
"Yeah..."
"What?" Alice could read me so well.
"I bumped into Tyler. He's going out with Lauren now."
"Tyler's here? With Lauren? Shit. That boy is missing a few brain cells. He had to have known that there would be loads of people here who saw the spectacular way you dumped his ass."
"I get the feeling he and Lauren are each trying to prove a point."
"Probably. Don't rise to it, OK? She wants to believe you're a ho, when she's the biggest one around. She's so jealous of you. It so wouldn't surprise me if she's only hooked up with him to rub it in your face. I only invited her because work would have been hell on Earth if I didn't."
"I know. Don't worry, I'm on my best behaviour." I told her, my fingers crossed behind my back.
