"You look fine Edward!" Jasper sighed.
"Do I really?" I said adjusting the tie on my tuxedo, Emmet slapped my hand away and did it himself. I paced across the room.
"Edward...I've never seen you so worried..." Jasper said genuinely confused
"Well last night with Candy he did look a little-"
"Shut. Up." I scowled, "I told you both to never speak of that incident again."
I sighed deeply and took a seat on the desk in the huge groom's quarters, and put my head in my hands.
"Come on Edward..." Emmett said softly. "It won't be that bad. I've had plenty of weddings!"
"We know Emmett." Jasper said rolling his eyes.
"Anyways...you'll get over it. This is your special day after all."
"I just wanted a small wedding...in Los Vegas...No big ceremony...Just me and Bella...but...here I am in San Francisco." I mumbled pathetically. "San Francisco..."
"I know isn't it great!" Emmet said smiling hugely. "And Esme never would've forgave you, if you went to Los Vegas."
"I know." I mumbled
"It's show time Edward." Jasper said suddenly.
"No oh no, Alice!"
It was hard struggling against Alice in this huge dress. The dress was a traditional white and the train on the dress was huge! It'd be a miracle if I'd make it down the aisle.
"Come on Bella its time."
" I have a huge bruise on my head I look hideous!"
"What happened to "Edward doesn't care how I look?!"
"That was before you attacked me with a pillow and gave me this disgusting bruise!" I screamed pointing to my head. " It looks horrid Alice!"
"I'm SORRY!" She screamed " But i'll be damned If I let you miss you wedding for that!"
"Use concealer..." I begged,
"I've already tried, Bella!"
"ROSE!! "Rosalie!!" I screamed thrashing against Alice's iron vice like grip. "Rosalieeee!"
Suddenly Rosalie appeared in the doorway, looking stunning in her tea-length bridesmaid dress, with a rosette on the waistband.
"Help me..." I pleaded
"Your veil will cover it Bella and for god sakes calm down the both of you!"
Me and Alice were shocked at the sudden dose of common sense. Alice let go of my wrist hesitantly as though fearing I'd run away.
I rubbed my sore wrist and glared at her, but she just smiled sweetly.
"Now come on Bella!" Rosalie said her face fierce.
"Ok I'm going but can I-"
"Can you what?" Alice asked challengingly.
"Can I...have 5 minutes alone?" I asked.
They both looked at me in silence.
"3..." Rose said and disappeared out the door. Before I knew it Alice was hugging me, squeezing the air out my lungs. Making me gasp for air.
"I love you Bella." She said quietly. "You're making him so happy!"
I hugged her back, "Thanks Alice."
"Ok!" She said standing back quickly. "I'll give you your alone time. Just don't keep us waiting to long, kay?"
"Sure sure." I answered using Jacob's phrase. My heart panged in my chest..It hurt to think about Jacob.
Once I saw Alice's feet disappear around the door I sighed deeply and sat in the white chair to the left.
Why was I so afraid?
I loved Edward...more then anything.
I was being an idiot, an complete and absolute idiot! I stood from the chair. "Married to Edward..." I mused, giggling highly, and walked to the door.
Out of the corner of my eye I saw a massive shape, move in the room. I turned around the window was open and the wind was blowing silently.
"Emmet?"
Something grunted from around the corner.
"Emmet!" I yelled, "You're not supposed to be here! I think I can make it without getting injured on the way..."
No roar of laughter or smart comeback. What the heck?
"Emmett?"
I walked cautiously to the corner...And who I saw...was NOT Emmett. I opened my mouth to scream but a gloved hand covered my mouth.
"Where is she?" I begged Alice.
"I'll go get her...her 5 mins are up." She said happily and began skipping to the bride''s quarters.
Jasper watched Alice walk away, with an joyous expression in his eyes.
"You know Edward...I think me and Alice are going to have a wedding." He said grinning up at me. "You could be the best-"
Suddenly a scream sounded through the halls.
"Alice." Jasper said behind me and then he was gone.
I flitted too standing right behind Jasper whom I found in Bella's room. He stared at the room his mouth agape.
"What's wrong? Why were you screaming Alice? Can some please tell me-"
I stopped and stared at the room...which was destroyed.
"What happened?"
"I-I don't know I came in and she was-"
"Bella?" I questioned cutting Alice off.
Silence.
"Bella?..."
Silence.
"Edward I-I left her alone for five minutes! Oh Edward I'm so sorry I don't know what happened!" Alice raced toward me. "I'm so sorry!"
I pushed her out of my way.
And began searching the room.
I picked up the broken vanity scanning... smelling...surely her scent would come to me sooner or later...
"Bella?" I called out softly again.
"Come on Alice." I heard Jasper's quiet voice behind me saying. "We'll tell the others." Alice nodded feebly and followed Jasper out the room, I could still hear her apologizing as she was lead out.
I knew my Bella would pop out of a corner anytime now yelling surprise, maybe she merely tripped destroying the room in the process. Her clumsiness even confounds me sometimes.
I scanned the broken room. Any second I would find Bella. She'd be perfectly fine besides a bump on her head.
"Bella , love where are you?"
I picked up the mauled chair and something caught my eye.
Once I left the room they were all staring as though questioning my sanity.
"Edward?" Esme questioned softly.
"Yes?"
"Did you find anything."
I could feel my hands shaking as I recalled what I had found in the room. Shakily I reached into my pocket and brought out a crumpled note.
The note itself was practically destroyed. But I remembered the paper almost immediately. It was the paper I had used when I sent that wedding invitation to
Jacob.
My hands were shaking as the anger was building up. I quickly passed the note to Esme, desperately wanting to get the attention off of me.
She read it aloud much to my dismay.
We have Bella. She's safe as long as you don't come looking for her.
Alice sobbed clung on the Jasper for support. "It's my fault." she murmured.
Rosalie's eyes were wide and she stepped away from us disappearing from the room. Emmett following soon after.
Esme the look on her beautiful motherly face was anguished, Caralisle held her hand stroking circles into her palm. Knowing that it was best to keep his composure and his thoughts hidden.
"I'm sorry Edward." He said quietly "We'll find her."
How could that mongrel do this to me?
He knew she was happy.
He knew.
He saw.
He took my Bella!
A growl ripped from my throat causing Esme to jump back.
I'll kill him.
If even one hair was harmed on my Bella...I clenched my fist trying to control my anger.
I'll kill him, I'll relish in the murder of that pathetic beast. I'll take him to the point to where he is begging for death.
Oh Jacob black...you'll regret the day you did this to me. The day you took away my life.
