Breaking Dawn
----------------------------------------------
AN: Hey guys. Yeah it's taken me a while to update, I went to Queensland for my cousins wedding for a week. It was so good, I actually got a tan and we went to some theme parks and the wedding was fun. I danced for about 2 hours. Though my cousin had the same dress as me, which was a little annoying, but oh well. So, here's another chapter. Sorry if it's sappy, I'm listening to Coldplay right now.
---------------------
Chapter 5
I was lying in bed, everyone had left the house and now it was just me and my thoughts. I desperately needed someone to come and distract me. All I was thinking about was this girl.
This was so unfair of me. I had chosen Edward…I love him. And I had rejected Jacob, and now he was happy. Why couldn't I just be happy for him? Why did my stupid emotions have to get in the way?
I lay in my bed, covers pulled to my chin. I was angry with Jacob, angry with Edward, and angry with the girl, Jade. But most of all, I was angry with myself.
But soon I felt the familiar, cold protecting arms of Edward. And suddenly it was like a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders, his presence melted away my bad thoughts and feelings.
Edward always knew how to make me feel better.
"You all right Bella?" asked Edward, he sounded concerned.
"Yeah. I'm happy for Jacob," it was not a complete lie. I was a little happy for him.
"Just making sure your not too jealous," he teased.
"Edward, there is no competition. You are perfect."
He frowned a little at this. He growled playfully and starting twirling my hair with his long slender fingers, and I feel asleep beneath his touch.
---------------------------------------
A week passed. I had discovered something. Whenever Edward was there, I was completely happy. Lost in his beautiful world. But when he was gone, I was so…empty inside. The jealousy had completely torn me apart.
I spent as much time as I could with Edward, he was the only thing keeping me sane the past week.
I saw Jacob a few times. We had one of our walks down the beach. And he was himself, not the arrogant Jacob I disliked, but my Jacob. But he talked too much about Jade, and I found him hard to be around.
Him and Jade were coming to the wedding. I wasn't sure how I felt about this, mixed emotions I suppose. The wedding was tomorrow. The date had grown nearer and nearer and as it had I dreaded it more and more.
Though, I also had excitement in me. Soon I would be like Edward, soon we would be equal. I knew the jealousy would go. I would be with Edward forever.
I was though, terribly confused. It was hard to see clearly the past week. The week went slow, and some nights I found it hard to go to sleep.
Alice was keeping Edward away from the house, she had some crazy tradition about the groom not being able to the bride before the wedding.
I slowly drifted to sleep, though it was hard, knowing the events, which were to take place the next day.
------------------------------------
JACOB'S POVBella hadn't invited that many guests, but the wedding was quite overboard. There were white chairs lined up, fresh green grass beneath them. A white carpet led to the small alter. There were ribbons and flowers everywhere.
Not a single bit of this wedding, from the flowers, to the 5-layered cake was at all part of Bella. I could tell immediately, as I had joined my father at the seats, Jade clasping my hand, that Bella had not contributed to this wedding at all.
Though, this surprisingly didn't bother me. I smiled warmly at Jade. She looked beautiful as always standing beside me.
We sat down and she grinned at me. I felt so happy. Happier than I had in a very long time.
I felt no hate towards Edward anymore. Bella was still my friend, and I cared for her. And I kind of liked to see the way she was acting towards me. I could tell she was a little jealous.
Though I felt no remorse in taking pleasure in this. The Cullen's and Bella's family were sitting in the front row. The day was cloudy and overcast, nothing else was to be expected in Forks, though it definitely wasn't going to rain.
A few of Bella's friends from high school were there, a few I recognized, yes the boy Mike was sitting at the back looking slightly sour. I smirked to myself.
Edward was standing at the alter, next to him was that brother of his… the big one. Bella's mother was crying at the front, a young man sat next to her and held her hand.
Music suddenly started to play and I turned to see Bella, in a simple, long flowing white dress, walking down. She looked amazing.
My heart swelled with pride, not hate or anger, no these emotions I could not feel. I was happy for her. Even though I knew the bloodsucker was going to suck the life out of her possibly weeks from now.
Charlie looked a little hesitant as he walked Bella towards Edward. I knew he would much rather me be there waiting at the alter for his daughter. Bella looked very nervous, a little green, she looked as if she was about to faint.
Typical Bella. She stumbled a bit then blushed and managed to gain her balance once more. She smiled at me as she walked past, a very nervous smile. I smiled back encouragingly.
Finally Bella reached the alter, and I sat back, completely content with everything around me.
BELLA'S POV"And do you, Bella Swan, take Edward Cullen, to be your lawfully wedded husband, till death do you part?"
Well, this was it. I smirked slightly at the statement, "till death do you part". There were butterflies in my stomach, I felt like I was going to throw up. But I knew this was it. This was the right thing to do. This was what I wanted.
I looked around, and Jacob caught my eyes. I struggled to end our gaze. His eyes were gleaming, he was happy for me. And that annoyed me slightly.
I turned to Edward, his beaming smile and shining topaz eyes boring into me, and my heart nearly stopped. I smiled, yes this was what I wanted.
"I do," I said, with more sureness than I had expected. As soon as I opened my mouth I thought I was going to throw up.
The priest turned to Edward, "Then, you may kiss the bride."
And we both embraced each other and our lips found one another. I could hear mum sobbing, and Alice was clapping, out of the corner of my eye I saw her beaming widely. My heart soared, beating fast and I felt dizzy.
I stumbled, but Edward of course caught me.
"Careful my wife," he whispered in my ear. I laughed nervously. But it was over. I had nothing to worry about anymore.
Me. Married! As a kid I was never one to imagine my perfect wedding. I was more of a tomboy. I admit, I thought I was never going to get married. But here I was, in a wedding dress. I never thought I'd see the day.
We signed the papers, and walked once again down the aisle. I caught Jacob's eye again. I flashed him a huge, genuine grin. And he grinned back. Everyone clapped behind us.
We walked out of the park where the wedding was and onto the street, we had our pictures taken, after mum had cleaned the mascara of her face.
We walked down a couple of blocks to the reception, which was a hall, decorated completely over the top with lace, flowers and ribbon, of course by Alice. There was a band there, and tables with food.
Everyone was dancing, well I was trying to (and failing), and I was actually really happy. I sat down for a moment to take a break. A slow song came on and I saw Jade and Jacob pull into a close embrace.
I grabbed the nearest glass of champagne and gulped it down. Edward walked towards me and grabbed my hand. He pulled me once again towards the dance floor.
I stumbled a little, I think I had had a little bit too much to drink. Edward laughed at me and pulled me into his chest and wrapped his arms around me and we swayed to the music.
"Bella you look absolutely delicious tonight," he teased.
"Oh why thank you husband," I hiccoughed. The word sounded strange to say…husband. But I said it with pride. Edward laughed.
"But seriously Bella, you have no idea how hard I'm trying not to sweep you into my arms and take you away from all these people and just have you for myself. You look beautiful tonight."
"I love you."
Edward smiled and kissed me. The rest of the night went quickly, we danced on into the early morning hours.
--------------------
I lifted my eyelids slowly, I was lying, still in my wedding dress, on Edwards bed in his room. My head was throbbing and I felt nauseous. I groaned and sat up. Edward was lying beside me, staring at me smiling.
I grumbled and pulled a pillow over my head. Edward chuckled.
"Had a good sleep? How are you feeling?"
"Great sleep, but I feel terrible," I groaned again and Edward continued laughing at me.
"I think you had a little bit too much to drink last night my dear."
"What happened last night?"
"Well, we were eternally bonded, and we danced, and then you sat down to take a rest…and then you fell asleep. I carried you home."
I smiled and suddenly the door burst open and my head felt like it had split in two.
"Good morning!" said Alice brightly, carrying a tray of what looked like breakfast on it.
"Not so loud Alice! I have a shocking hang over."
Alice smirked at me then placed the tray on the bed. Toast, coffee and eggs were presented on a plate.
"Thanks Alice. And thanks for organizing the wedding, it was great."
Alice beamed.
"Bella, I only get to organize a wedding once every…. century! The pleasure was all mine," she laughed. I rolled my eyes at her. She left laughing with a smile on her face, and quietly shut the door.
"That was really good of you to let her do that Bells. I really appreciate it," said Edward, sitting me up and placing the tray on my lap. He then curled his arm around me.
I grabbed a piece of toast and wolfed it down. Edward smiled. I gulped down the coffee and shoved down the rest of the breakfast. I felt a lot better.
The sun was out and shining through the window. Edward was sitting there, a glittering stone statue. I drew my face towards him and planted a kiss on his cheek.
He smiled warmly at me.
"So what's on the agenda today husband?"
"Well," Edward smiled that favorite smile of mine, "I will be taking you to… a very high class hotel."
I blushed and laughed at him. He was so polite and sweetly innocent.
"Oh I see. And what will we do then?" I asked playfully.
"Well, we'll just have to see when we get there wont we?" He chuckled and I smirked at him.
"Well get out of here so I can get changed!" I said.
"Bella, I think we're past this, we're husband and wife now, I think I have the right to stay in my own room" he laughed while I glared at him.
I slowly pulled myself out of the bed, I got up a bit to fast and the room spun around me. Edward sighed and I poked my tongue out at him.
My clothes were neatly folded on the floor. I unzipped the back of my wedding dress slowly, aware Edward was watching me closely. I slipped the dress off, I felt a little bit uncomfortable, no one had ever seen me remotely unclothed before.
I was standing there in my bra and underwear. Edward sat up and leaned forward. I turned to face him.
His breath caught in his throat, and I felt a slight pride in the effect I was having on him. I smirked at him as I grabbed my jeans and an old t-shirt and slipped them on.
Edward shot up and grabbed me, pulling me onto the bed, catching me by surprise. I squealed and he squeezed me tightly into his arms.
I smiled. I was at home.
