Never again! Never again would I go bridal shopping where my mother and mother in law were present. Oh Lord, my head was throbbing!

"BELLA!" Alice screeched once she caught site of me before bursting into fits of giggles.

"Oh thank God." Rose muttered as she pulled me into a powerful hug.

"I thought we were supposed be finding wedding dresses not playing 7, 11 or doubles?"

"Trust me if you heard the words coming out of those two," Rose shuddered pointing and my mother and then hers. "no amount of alcohol in the world would make you drunk enough and I've only been here for five minutes, poor Alice."

"There was this one time, I think it was Halloween. Yep, it was Halloween. Charlie came home in this cop outfit. Oh lord, the handcuffs..."

I quickly got to where my mother was and covered her mouth with my hand. "I think I'm going to be sick."

"Oh Bella you're finally here." Esme giggled out. "You know, your father in law does this wonderful thing with his tongue. I'm sure Edward..." This time Rose came over and clamped her hand over her mother's mouth.

"So you see why Alice is practically wasted?" Rose asked, horror and disgust clearly evident in her voice.

"Poor girl and wasn't she supposed to be driving Esme and my mother?"

"Yup and from the information I got out of Alice they were already tipsy before even getting in the car."

I looked over to where Alice was, who had two fingers in her ears and singing, very loudly, to 'twinkle twinkle little star'. Oh great!

"Well all of them are too drunk to even bother looking at dresses. I'm going to talk to Belinda to reschedule." I said quickly and hauled my ass out of the room like it was on fire.

I went to the reception area and found Belinda whistling to herself while typing something into her computer.

"Hello, Belinda."

"Oh my, hello dear. Oh wow, won't you just look at you. You look gorgeous my dear. Married life suits you. Any babies coming soon? Before Alice's wedding? Oh I can design the cutest little outfit. Oh won't you look at me. Talking your ear off as usual, can't even get a word in can you dear?" I was just about to speak... "Has Alice picked out a dress yet? I put out the most prestigious collection for that girl. If she doesn't like any I can bring out some more?"

"Actually Belinda, I was hoping we could reschedule. Let's just say Esme, Renee and Alice aren't fit enough to look at any sort of dresses. In this state they would probably pick out something pink and frilly." Belinda let out one of her weird laughs.

"Of course my dear. The state your mothers walked in, no wonder Alice ordered champagne glass after champagne glass."

I made my way back to the bridal room. "Rose why don't you take your mother home. I'll take Alice and Renee home. I think it's best to separate them."

Separating Renee and Esme was no use. Throughout the ride home I was bombarded with my mother's sex stories and I could do nothing to stop them. Of course, this led to me consuming excess amount of liquor to try and forget my mother's words and this led me to the position I'm in now, head between hands hoping that by some miracle my headache would just vanish.

I rolled over to my side and landed with a loud thump on the floor. "Ouch" I grounded out.

I noticed I wasn't in my precious California King, I wasn't even in my own house. I was at Tanya's, how I ended up here I had no idea but I my phone and keys on the nightstand, so that must be a good sign. That's when I heard loud noises penetrating through the walls, so I thought I would investigate.

"Kate you can't be serious. Are you crazy?" Oh God, what is she doing here.

"Oh I'm serious!" Came bitchface's squeaky reply. Kate and I never got along. Maybe it was to do with the resentment that Tanya found a better sister in me. Or maybe it was due to her over flirtatious attitude towards my husband. It didn't matter, we never liked each other and yes it's very high school of us.

"Kate he's a married man. I don't know who this guy is, all I know is that he's married. God, I don't know what kind stupid promises he made you." Holy shit. I was just about to make my way up the stairs but the next words made me freeze.

"So what Tan? For the record he didn't promise me anything. I'm happy being whatever Edward wants me to be."

"You're fucking Edward?" Tanya questioned, each word coming out slowly. I couldn't see her reaction but I heard a chair scrape against the floor and a soft thump as she slumped against it. "You're fucking Edward." She repeated this time it was more of a statement rather than a question.

That's when reality hit me and the words sunk into me. I felt bile rising in my throat and traitorous tears escape my eyes. I could hear loud noises in the background but the only thing I could focus on were 'Kate and Edward together'.

The noises continued to get louder and louder as the argument moved to the hallway where I was.

Before I could escape Kate caught site of me and her eyes, wide with shock, met my tear filled ones for a second before she hurried out the door.

"Bella! Oh God, I'm so sorry sweetie." Tan muttered into my hair and she engulfed me into a hug.

My silent tears turned into loud sobs as I babbled. "I knew. God I knew. I just hoped...prayed. Prayed I was wrong. God, I'm so stupid." My sobs turned into chuckles.

"Sweetie, are you okay?"

"Tan, do you know what today is?"

"Erm, no. Should I?" She questioned, extremely confused and slightly worried.

"What's the date?"

"7th April. What are you getting at?...Holy shit it's been three years."

"Three years." I murmured. "Look Tan, I got to get going."I released her grip on me and descended my way down the stairs.

"Where are you going?"

"Home." I wasn't sure if I could still call the place I lived home but it was a place I had learnt to love over the last three years.

"Wait! Hold on right there. First you hear my sister admitting that she's been having an affair with your husband, then you dissolve into tears, claiming that you knew it was happening, then you laugh at the irony of today's date and now you're going home. Bella I'm so damn confused."

"Look Tanya, I can't explain but promise me you won't tell a soul."

"But B..." She protested.

"Promise me Tan." I begged, giving her my best pleading look.

"Fine." I walked toward the door and gave Tanya one last look, reminding her of the promise she made.

I made my way home without breaking into tears but I was so damn angry. More at myself than Edward. I knew what was happening and yet I refused to believe it and made no attempts to stop it. God Bella, how could you be so stupid. How could I even think he would be faithful towards me? It had always been Kate. It would always be Kate.

Once inside the house Edward and I shared, I pulled out the biggest glass I could find and filled it with the first liquor I could get my hands on. Making my way to the couch, I pulled out the DVD that held the day I had become Mrs Cullen and willed myself not to cry. I wouldn't cry over him, he wasn't worth it.

"I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may now kiss the bride."

Edward turned to my tear stained face and touched his lips to mine for a second before turning and forcing out a smile, after swiping the tears off my face I followed his lead except my smile wasn't as convincing. I wasn't as good of an actor as he was.

"I present to you Mr and Mrs Cullen."

Before I knew it a whole line of family, friends, distant family and business associates all came to give us hugs and kisses of congratulations.

The tape rolled to an end. This was my 'Happy anniversary' ritual every year along with a big dinner for my husband.

By 6 I had prepared most of the meal but Edward was a no show.

By 7 the table was set, the food was done and I was nursing a glace of wine waiting for my husband.

By 8 two full plates were on either side of the table, I nibbled bits off of my plate while listening intently for the door to creak open.

By 9 most of my food was in the trash and Edward's plate waiting for him in the oven.

By 10 I was in our cold bed alone with a note downstairs telling my husband where the food was, like I did every night, with an exception that tonight I signed it off with 'Happy Anniversary' instead of my name.

My dreams were filled with Kate and Edward and awoke me with a start. I stared at the ceiling too scared to close my eyes when the front door opened and then closed. Footsteps followed before they abruptly stopped as another door opened and then closed.

Rushing out of the bed I made my way to the study, my anger fuelling with each step. I flung the door to the study open and watched it crash against the wall.

"Bella...?"

"Get off the damn phone Edward." Edward looked at me weird, I had never spoken to him like this but did as I demanded.

"Hey what's wrong?" He questioned, looking at my furious face with worry.

"What's wrong? Huh he asks me 'what's wrong'?"I mocked rather hysterically.

"Bella seriously what is the matter?" Edward once again questioned clearly aggravated by my complete change of demeanour.

"Kate is what's wrong, Edward," I spat out her name venomously.

Edward's face froze making me snort.

"You didn't think I knew you were fucking someone else. God how stupid do you think I am."

"Bella..." He tried to interrupt but I had to get this out.

"I prayed. God I prayed that it wasn't true. In the back of my mind I knew you were fucking someone else, showing your love to someone else. Did you think I didn't want a marriage Edward? Huh? Did you think I wanted to waste my life being your maid pretending I was happy?"

"I didn't think..." I wouldn't let him get a word in.

"No of course you didn't think. All those 'business' calls. How many 'business' meetings were real? Huh?"

"Bella, yes she was on those business meeting but you know she's a part of the company."

"What does she specialise in? Whoring around?" Edward face turned into shock as he tried to find a reply.

"That's not..."

"That's not what Edward? That's not what she specialises in? Then what is it? Fucking married men?"My voice quivered slightly as the words I spoke hit me like a ton of bricks.

Edward noticed my change and tried to calm me down. "We need to talk about this. Come, sit down."

"You know I can't even look at you. I'm going, don't even bother looking for me and if someone asks how about you tell the truth for once?" I willed myself to be strong and I made my way of the study.

"Bella don't go. Come on please." The words he spoke angered me. Shame they were a little too late.

I whirled around with the heels of my foot and pointed my finger straight at him. "Why? 'Cause you can't cook or clean for yourself? Well fuck you Edward Cullen."

I ran away from my husband who was following me, begging for me to come back. I jumped into my car and sped away as the floodgates finally unleashed themselves.

AN: Yes I know it's been a long time. Yes I am very sorry. No there is nothing I can do about it. My life is just too busy at the moment and sadly but truly some things are just more important than FF. Anyway I hope you like, mind any mistake I've proofread it like a million times. Review and let me know what you think.
