I'm so sorry for the lack of updates! I'm still having this huge writer's block. I mean, I have a few idea, but I'm having trouble getting them into the right words.
Sad news... well, for you only. I'm going on vacation to Québec city and in Saguenay (Québec) for 5 days. I'll be back friday, which means no updates until at least saturday or sunday. I'll do my best to update more often.
Also - I'm fully aware that my fanfiction is not the best ever. But really, I think I deserve a lot more recognization. Reviews are sweet and, when you leave me some, it makes me happy - it makes me want to write more and to give you new chapters sooner. So, if you want more updates and better stuff... please review. It's not that hard. It takes what? Five seconds? Seriously...
Disclaimer: Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse still belong to Stephenie Meyer. I wouldn't be writing this fanfiction without her.
Bella POV
Time was passing extremely fast for the first time of my life... hum, scratch that, existence. Yesterday was our last day of school before Christmas break. This also meant that there was only one week left before Carlisle and Esme's long awaited wedding. Edward was Carlisle's best man and Rosalie and I were Esme's bride of honor. Alice and Lisa had planned the entire wedding – Esme was lucky to have Lisa on her side, otherwise the wedding would have been exceedingly over the top. They were constantly fighting, though. Right now, their argument was about the color of the flowers. It had taken them three days to decide themselves on the type of flowers – roses.
"Red!" Alice whined.
"White!" Lisa objected.
"Everything is white in this wedding! The red is going to stand out!"
"Stand out in a bad way! Nothing else is red, Alice. It's going to ruin it all!"
Edward, Jasper and I were watching them fight, just like we always do. At least, it was more entertaining than watching Emmett and Rosalie not talking to each other. It had been this way for three months now, and everyone was tired of it.
"Ladies," Edward intervened, "what about a compromise?"
"Beware," I whispered in his ear, playfully. "you're getting yourself in the middle of their battlefield. Next thing you know, they'll want your head off your body." Edward chuckled.
Alice glared at me before returning her attention to her brother.
"What do you mean, a compromise?"
"Well, you want red and Lisa wants white. What about soft pink roses? I know some of the things you already ordered are soft pink, so it would match and it would stop this unnecessary fight. And it would look gorgeous."
"You know, Alice, it's actually a great idea." Lisa replied. "What do you think?"
Alice had a vision – about the fact that they chose pink roses. "It'll look beautiful. Let's move on. When are we getting the bridesmaids' dresses?"
Emmett barged in at that moment. "Actually, they just arrived, along with the bride's dress and the tuxedos for us, men. Do we need to try them on?"
Alice shook her head. "No need. I'm seeing everything in my head and it all looks gorgeous." She stopped a moment to look at me. "Bella, will you have a problem with wearing a dress? I ordered it, knowing it would look perfect, but if you prefer..."
"No, Alice. I'll wear it." I answered. Jasper turned his head – he was shocked.
"Are you sure, Bells?"
"Yes." I answered simply.
I hated wearing dresses. I never felt beautiful in them. But now that I had Edward, and that I knew the way he was looking at me as if I was the most beautiful creature to ever walk this planet, I truly felt beautiful for the first time of my life. Just because of him. Only for him.
Rosalie POV
Things were still iffy between Emmett and I. Ever since that first day of school, we never really talked to each other. It hurt me. A lot. And I knew it was my fault, in a way. If I had let him know how I truly felt, we would be together instead of... ignoring each other like we were doing.
Tomorrow was the wedding. Tonight, most of the guests started to arrive at our house to celebrate. It was a small wedding, but the Denali clan all came and some members from the Volturi as well.
I took a couple of minutes to talk to Kate and Tanya while everybody else was giving their congratulations to the soon-to-be-married couple. The house suddenly seemed packed and I felt like having some time to myself to think.
As I went upstairs to my room, I heard soft moans coming from Edward and Bella's room.
Wait... what? I know they're pretty serious and everything, but I doubt Bella is ready for that step yet...
I continued to walk to my room, until I heard something extremely disturbing.
"Emmett..." it was Irina's voice.
I couldn't believe that. Not only were they having sex, but they were having sex in Bella and Edward's room! Even I wasn't that unrespectful.
I barged in the room, interrupting them. They both moved away from each other, their eyes wide with fear. Emmett was shirtless and, if I hadn't been that angry, I would have stared at him for days. He was gorgeous. Irina was wearing nothing but a bra and her panties.
"What the HELL is wrong with the two of you?" I almost screamed. "This isn't your room. If you're planning on continuing your... activities, do it somewhere else. I'm not sure Bella or Edward would appreciate."
Emmett looked directly into my eyes, his eyes sad.
"Rose..."
"Oh, what? You're talking to me now?" I glared at him, even though I knew I couldn't hate him.
"Please, Rose... let me explain..."
"Don't. Just don't."
And I went away, running to my room. I had always wanted to stay human, but this was one of the moments when I desperately wanted to be human just to cry.
Jasper POV (an hour before the wedding)
"Emmett, how could you be so stupid towards her?" Edward was screaming at his brother. "Now, tell me: are you an idiot or are you simply an inconsiderate moron?"
"Look, I don't even know why she got angry at the first place! Okay, I was going to have sex in your room, but it's not like it's her room!"
"Okay, forget what I said. You're not just stupid, you're blind too."
I snickered.
"Well, Edward, he's also an inconsiderate moron."
Both of us chuckled and Emmett was as confused as ever. He glanced between me and Edward, not understanding what we were saying.
"Wow, you really are completely clueless." I said.
"Would you care to fill me in? I don't like not understanding what's going on."
I looked at Edward. You are telling him. That didn't please him, but he did anyway, because Emmett was his brother, not mine.
"Have you ever thought that if she was that angry at you for all these months is because you rejected her, Em?"
Emmett laughed, angry.
"Oh, yeah, that. But it still doesn't make any sense. She doesn't like me. She wanted a one night stand, and that's all I am to her. So it still doesn't make any sense."
Edward looked at me. I sighed and continued.
"You're wrong. She loves you, Em."
Emmett's eyes popped out of his head. He didn't believe me.
"She saw you and she loved you almost instantly. Remember her gift of knowing what a person wants the most? She knew you wanted her. Sadly, Rosalie prefers relationships that don't require any sort of... commitment. Because that's one thing she's afraid of, Emmett. And she thought she had a shot with you. Then, you rejected her and she didn't understand why."
Emmett was speechless for the first time in his entire life. Edward started to speak, again, letting Emmett know his side of the story.
"Yesterday, she saw you and Irina. Irina, Emmett. She doesn't understand why you can't have sex with her but you can with Irina."
"And, as stupid as it sounds, she feels ugly for the first time in her life," I continued. "She thinks you're more attracted to Irina than her. Which, obviously, is not the case."
Edward nodded. "I think that sums it up."
Emmett was starring at nothing in particular. We stayed like that for minutes.
"I can't hear his thoughts," Edward interrupted our silence. "It's like he's too lost to even think. Are you getting anything."
"Nothing." I answered.
Emmett interrupted us. "I'm the most... complete... inconsiderate... stupid... blind... moron... the earth has even seen..." Then he looked into my eyes. "I've got to apologize to her. Right away."
Edward stopped him.
"Not now, Emmett. We've got a wedding, remember? Wait until the after-party, at the very least."
Well, if Esme wanted a special wedding... she was sure as hell to get one now.
Author's Note
This chapter is a filler, mostly. Not much happens in it, except for Emmett realizing that he's stupid. Lol. Next chapter is going to be... a little more rocky, that's for sure. I'm not telling you anything, though.
