I DO NOT OWN THE TWILIGHT SAGA.

Alex's P.O.V.

It's been about a month since that day in the woods with Brady. After that I started to get depressed. I don't go out much, only to go to school. And even though we are broken up, I still have feelings for Brady. In fact, every day that goes by I fall a little more in love with him. Each time I see him, he looks a little ragged. He looks more pale, there are bags under his eyes and I think he might have lost weight. As for me, well… I'm not doing so great either. I don't get a lot of sleep, and I don't eat as much as I used to. As for my relationship with Vivian, we are now friends. Let me explain. When everybody found out that she's pregnant, they all disowned her. Nobody would talk to her, and her boyfriend broke up with her. She had no one. Her parents were supportive, but they don't really talk to her anymore. One day I found her in the girl's room crying. I had asked her why she was crying, and she told me that nobody would talk to her now that they know her secret. I told her that, if they won't talk to her because she's pregnant, then they aren't really her friends. The next day I went with her to the doctor and we've been friend's ever since. We might not be close yet, but we're friends.

Anyways, today is the day of Jared and Kim's wedding. All of us girls wake up early and got our hair, nails, and makeup done. Then I put on my A-line dark gray maid of honor dress with a tulle skirt and a sweetheart neckline. When I'm done getting dressed, I go out into the bedroom. We are at a fancy motel; we stayed overnight last night, and we'll be staying again tonight. When I walk in, I can see all of the girls in their dresses, they are all excited about the big event. When I look at Kim I gasp. She looks beautiful in her A-line strapless embroidery organza satin wedding dress. Her hair is piled up on top of her head and her veil hangs around her. I smile at her and I help her get into her shoes.

"You look great," I say.

"Thanks Alex," she says. Finally, it's time to go down to the room where the ceremony is going to be held. We all grab our bouquets and pile onto the elevator. A few minutes later it's time to walk down the aisle. We are all in our positions, Kim is standing next to her dad. The, kind of, bad thing about the setup is that Brady has to walk down the aisle, since he is Jared's best man. It won't be that bad, it'll just be awkward. When I loop my arm through his, I look at him. He looks really sexy with his black suit and tie. His hair is styled nicely, too. He is also looking at me.

"You look beautiful, Alex," he says. My heart soars when he smiles at me. I smile back.

"Thanks, you look really nice, too," I say. When everybody is down the aisle, everyone in the audience sits down and the minister begins.

"We are here to witness the union of Kimberly Anne Connweller, and Jared Michael Cameron…"

~A Few Hours Later~

The ceremony was beautiful. You could really tell that Jared and Kim really love each other; the way the stared into each other's eyes, and the way they practically made out when it was time for Jared to kiss Kim. Then they walked back down the aisle to go and take pictures. The reception area is so beautiful. It is decorated with fall colors and there is a bunch of tables, and a place where people can dance, and there is a DJ. Everyone is having a good time, and the food is delicious. I have the chicken with asparagus and mashed potatoes. After that everyone dances. They play almost all fast songs. Finally, a slow song comes on, and everyone grabs a partner and starts to dance. I am all alone until someone clears their throat. I look up to see Brady staring down at me.

"Can I have this dance?" he asks. I debate that for a second, then decide that it can't hurt. I mean, I really want to dance with him and I think that it might be good for me.

"Sure," I say smiling a little. We dance for a little while in silence.

"You know I never meant to upset you. When I told you about shape shifters and imprinting, I mean. I just wanted you to know about the secret, before you found out some other way. The reason I didn't tell you sooner was because of Jared. He's the alpha, and I had no choice but to listen to him when he said not to tell you until you asked about it. But part of it was that I was afraid that you would be so scared of me that you wouldn't want anything to do with me. I guess I was right," he says. I take a deep breath; I have my head on his shoulder and I am staring off into space.

"It's not that I was scared. It was that I was upset. I was upset that you kept it from me. That Jared and Justin kept it from me, for so long. That's what I was angry about. Well… that was part of it. The other part was that… that, if it wasn't for the fact that you turned into a wolf, that you probably wouldn't even have noticed me," I say softly.

"That's not true. I imprinted on you, Alex. Which means that we are meant to be together. I would have still noticed my feelings, but it would have taken longer. But trust me, I would have come around sooner or later," he says.

"But you don't have a choice in loving me. Don't you want a choice?" I ask. He's quiet for a second, and I am staring to think that he does want choices. Not that I would blame him.

"No, I wouldn't. Besides, even if I did have a choice I would pick you. I would always pick you," he says. I pull back and stare into his eyes. Okay, now I'm defiantly in love with him. He starts to move his head, to touch his lips to mine, but we are interrupted.

"Okay! All of the single ladies gather up into center of the dance floor for the throwing of the bouquet!" the DJ says. Brady and I pull away from each other. I smile at him apologetically, then I go and sit down in my chair. I don't really want to take part in the event. I'm thinking over the events that just happened between Brady and I, when something lands in my hands. It takes me a second to realize that it's the bouquet of flowers. I blush tomato red and try not to make eye contact as everyone stares at me and laughs.

~A few More Hours Later~

After cake and other desserts, everyone starts to head up to their hotel room. I walk with Brady, hand in hand, since our rooms are just a couple of doors away from each other. I'm not sure where our relationship stands, but I hope we can patch things up, and soon, because I'm not sure I can take one more moment away from him. We stop in front of his door. He looks at me and I can feel my heart grow faster.

"Alex-," that's all he says. Then his lips come down on mine. Oh who am I kidding? I am the one who kissed him. I mean, I was the one who made the first move on our first date, so why not now? At first he kisses me slowly, and softly; but after a moment his lips grow urgent, and I can feel the lust behind the kiss. He pulls back slightly and looks towards his door. "Do you want to?" I don't even have to ask what he means, because I already know. If I'm going to lose my virginity, it might as well be now and with him.

"Yes" I say. We go into his room, and he locks the door. We kiss for a moment in the middle of the room, before moving towards the bed.
