Hey!! SO, this is the next chapter. By the way, I have pictures of their mansions on my profile. I'll update the others soon.

DISCLAIMER: The only thing I own is my dog. Well, actually, not even.

"Come on Edward, we're going to be late!" yelled Emmett as he dashed to his Jeep.

"Emmett, the ceremony doesn't start till eight o'clock. It's seven in the afternoon. I think we have enough time to dawdle." said Jasper as he rolled his eyes at me while walking to the passenger seat of the car.

"Emmett, we all know know the reason you want to get their as early as possible is to see Rosalie." I said as I got in the back.

"No!...maybe...yes...besides, the food lines get pretty long too." he smirked as he pulled out of the driveway of his mansion.

Emmett, Jasper, and I have been really great friends since we were in diapers. Our families are one of the biggest companies in the marketing business, with my fathers' at the front. My father, Edward Anthony Mason Sr., owned Mason Incorporated and was also part owner of McCarty & Hale Company as he had helped Alexander Hale and John McCarty, Emmett and Jasper's fathers, financially build it.

My mother, Elizabeth Mason, was great friends with Helen McCarty, Ashley Hale, and as well as Esme Cullen.

Esme and Carlisle Cullen are the owners of a company that sells the best clothing for ceromonies, weddings, and anything that was formal occasion. Rosalie Cullen, Emmett's fiancée, was the model for this.

Rosalie was the adopted daughter of Carlisle, while Alice was Esme's adopted daughter as well. Esme, before marrying Carlisle, had owned an art decor and beauty products company. She had passed this on to Alice, who had Rosalie model this too.

They were-and still are- best friends with Isabella Swan, my family's enemy's daughter. Her father, Charlie Swan, owned Swan Interprise and they were constantly in competition with Mason Inc., for the number one slot in the marketing industry. I have never seen Isabella before, for her parents send her abroad to study.

Isabella's mother, Renée Swan, was a kind person to Ashley Hale and Helen McCarty. To my mother, she was despicable. Likewise, my mother was as well. Our familes have been disputing about so many things, that not many can remember the reasons why. Now, none of us can be remotly close to each other without getting into a fight...well, my parents for the most part.

"Hey, look! There's Kate!" exclaimed Emmett as he was waiting for the valet to come. I looked anxiously out of my window, hoping to catch a glimpse of her while trying to control my unruly bronze hair. We had finally arrived at the Business Ceramony, where the best of the best companies gathered and the most elite in each catagory were announced and reconized.

Kate Denali, the most gorgeous woman I have ever seen, was heir to Denali Co., which produced and directed the top block-busters of movie history.

Jasper stared at me, as if he could sense my emotions. "Thinking about Kate again, Edward?" he asked gently.

Emmett let out a cough, which was poorly disguising a smirk. "Too bad she doesn't think about you at all, Edward. She's going out with Garrett, whom I heard will be popping the question tonight during the ceramony."

I put on my poker face, carefully hiding the pain his words inflicted on me. "As long as she is happy and cared for as she deserves, then I will not interfere."

Emmett sent me a knowing look. "You won't interfere? Just like that time when you cut into their first date in Italy? Or when you 'accidently' nudged Garrett into the river while they were on his yaht partying? Or how about that time-"

"Enough, Emmett. If Edward says he won't intefere this time, then he won't. Now, hurry up and get out of the car."

I snorted, surprising them both. "Please. Emmett, you're about to marry Rosalie in a week or so. Jasper, you have been going out with Alice for two years. Can you blame me for wanting to be with somebody? Someone to share my life with? With Kate gone, I don't have a reason-"

Jasper stopped me short. "Quiet Edward. Just stop it. I can almost FEEL you're going through right now. Pity, rage, self-loathing, and much more. So, can you PLEASE control yourself for at least tonight? Who knows? Maybe Kate isn't for you at all."

Emmett chuckled. "Yeah, I bet the right girl is out there for you, wondering when her Eddie-poo will come for her."

I groaned. "Shut it, Emmett." And with that, we got out of the car and faced the millions of flashing light bulbs going off and on.

That was pretty hard- I can never do EPOV right. Anyway, I know this chapter was a bit drab, but I needed it out there to show the realtionships between everybody. Review please! :) Thanks!
