Edward POV (Platt)

"Please Mommy" I begged. I had a good two weeks off, since my detention, and I was going back today. I no longer have a car for a month but I do have a my iPhone, laptop, and credit card back. The only thing I don't have is my license, and my keys to the car. That sucks.

"No Edward. Now get downstairs and go to school. Bella is waiting for you! Don't forget to meet us after school at the the wedding planners!" Mom called as I went down the stairs and grabbed my backpack to go the Bella's beat up SUV.

"I get to drive" I told her and gabbed the keys from her hands and got in. she sighed frustrated and got around the other way. I started the car when everyone got in and sped off towards our schools.

"Edward, Jasper's going to pick us up. Apparently Mom has a huge announcement she needs to make to you and Bella" Brianna told me. I nodded and swallowed the flem in my throat. I learned that new word; flem. See? It's a pretty disgusting thing. Anyway!

"Alright, we'll drive over. I'll ditch detention" I told her as she opened the door to the huge SUV. I kissed her cheek, like every morning, and she left to school with James, Victoria, and Sean. The older kids like myself, and the others stayed in the car as we went to the school. The girls were singing to Katy Perry's Firework and we guys were trying our best to ignore it.

"Finally!" Trevor shouted and got out of the car when the fucking car was still moving! I was parking when he jumped out and ran up the stairs yelling, "Finally!"

"Fucking dumbass" I yelled at him though out the window and he just flipped me off and went on his skateboard and through the quad. I rolled my eyes and Frankie closed the door to the car and I got to park. We all got out and went in our different directions. Bella and I went to our group and I slipped on my football jacket. Star quarterback has to look good for the ladies. Bella left my side and I saw her fly to Tom. I balled my fists.

"Edward, calm down" Jacob, my best friend, told me and pushed my away from them. I watched as Bella giggled and Tom kissed her and she fucking kissed back.

"Bella!" I bellowed. Everyone got quiet. Bella turned around shocked as hell and her eyes wide. Good.

"Get your punk ass over here" I seethed. I was furious. I got a two week detention, because of her! I risk my ass to protect her pure soul form getting violated form that trashy piece of shit, and she goes back to him! What the fuck?

"Hey my Best Man" She said jokingly and punched me in the shoulder I stayed where I was; her punch didn't even affect me. I glared at her and she stared back at me.

"Isabella I do not want you stay with Tom and that's final." I told her. She glared and went back to Tom, glanced back at me, and kissed him with all her might. Tom gladly liked that and pulled her to him and she was now gladly making out with him. My blood boiled. Ouch.

"Jasper!" I shouted through the tiny quad and found him with the Alice, Emmett, and Rosalie. They were hanging out with Mike Newton, Angela Webber, Ben Cheney, Eric Yorkie, and Alecia Moore. He said something to the guys and walked over.

"Hey Edward…what's up?" He asked awkwardly. I sighed and knew what he was talking about. The younger kids of the family got along and talked, while the older kids just did our thing and didn't exactly talk.

"You know Tom?" I asked quietly. His eyes hardened as his fists balled.

"What about him?" He asked through clenched teeth. All I did was point to Bella and Tom who were in their own little world. Pathetic. They were smiling and he had his hands going up her shirt. I watched as she took them out and he put them back. I glared.

"Bella-Marie!" Jasper shouted. He charged over there and was talking to her harshly. She rolled her eyes and told Jasper something which he got pissed at and he just shook his head at her and walked back over to me.

"She says that Tom isn't doing anything wrong. I tried to tell her that he'll violate her and shit and she won't listen. I'm done. I officially don't care. Thanks for looking out for her man. I appreciate it" He said. I nodded and he clapped my shoulder and went back to his little group and Alice was looking at me with a smile and said 'Thank you'. I nodded and tried to pay attention to Jack's story about his dad caught him and his girlfriend, Lillian, and him having sex.

"What'd your Dad say?" Tanya asked. Lillian was blushing tomato red and I put my arm over her shoulder laughing. She glared at me and crossed her arms.

"Oh you know I love you Lils" I told her.

"Shut up" She giggled and pushed me away. I made a hurt look and loked away like a five year old.

"He threw us a condom and walked off and closed the door. He's awesome" Jack laughed.

"No he's not! Next time it's at my place" Lillian said. Jack stared at her.

"Lils, I love you, but I don't want your pictures of flowers staring at me" He said. We all smirked.

"Whatever" She waved off and Devon looked at me.

"Oh my god!" He yelled. Everyone got alarmed and looked around.

"You're back!" Devon cried. We all laughed and they all 'welcomed' me back. I grinned. It was nice to be back in my kingdom.

"So where the fuck have you been man?" Jack asked. I shrugged.

"Went on a week long camping trip with the Cullens. Mom made me" I said and rolled my yes.

"Yes, but what about the week after?" Jenny asked.

"I was at the igloo preparing to be a penguin" I said. They all gasped. I fucking know right?

"No!" Devon said with a grin. I sighed and nodded.

"Who woulda thought? Momma Platt and Dr. C. When's the wedding?" Max asked.

"6 months. The Fraternal Unit wants a emergency meeting after school. I have to bring Big Bee" I said. Big Bee was a nickname for Bella, because it was her or Tanya who was Queen Bee of the school. It would've been Tanya is she wasn't such a slut. Pardon my French. Hah! Just kidding.

"Damn dude. We're coming right?" Joey asked. I nodded.

"Helh yeah. You're all coming" I told them.

"Oh my girls too" Bella giggled. The football players and cheerleaders cheered and we all grinned.

"you aren't though" I said to tom.

"Oh really? Bella told me I was" He said. I laughed, a fake laugh.

"I'm the Best Man, and the bride giver away-er person thing. I have power over this wedding, and you however don't. So don't even think about showing your ass up at this place" I told him getting in his face.

"Well, I am. And there's nothing you can do about it" He said and turned on his heel and walked to homeroom with Bella on his heel.

Esme POV

I wish Bella and Edward were here. I held Carlisle's hand on the table and saw Bella's SUV in the parking lot. They both got out and raced over here. Bella was looking nice in her new boots and Edward had a few pieces of mud on his face. I grimaced. I made a gesture to Bella about it and she took her thumb and reached to Edward's cheek to wipe it off. She got it off and they came ot the table. Glasses of wine were set and Edward and Bella took sips from theirs. I allowed them to have wine, since it was a special occasion, but limited Edward's glasses of champagne to three. Bella too.

"Before you say anything I want my wine" Edward said and downed his. Laura laughed and opened our notebook of wedding plans. She was so good to us.

"Ok, so I was thinking. I really can't wait for this wedding, so how about instead of 6 months, it can happen in 2! I mean Khloe Kardashian had hers in 8 days so we deifinately do this in 2 months" I waved off. Everyone but Laura just stared with wide eyes. What? It wasn't such a bad request. I just want to have my wedding soon. Not to sound vain or selfish.

"Um, sweetheart, are you sure?" Carlsile asked. I smiled and caressed his cheek. The faster this wedding happened the sooner. I wanted to be tied to Carlisle ASAP, baby.

"Yes. Laura can we do that?" I asked. She nodded and wrote stuff down in our notebook. I saw her pull out some cards and other pieces of paper and I squealed. Invitations!

"Yes, we have our Save the Date invites, and our wedding invitations. Now, you want your wedding on February 5, 2011, am I correct?" Laura asked. I nodded smiling. Carlisle was too as he squeezed my hand in his much bigger one. I saw Edward and Bella smiling and talking. Bella was giggling and Edward was smiling as they drank their glasses of champagne. I smiled. Edward needed someone to keep him grounded. I appreciated Bella for that. I couldn't wait to see them at their dance lessons. Carlisle decided to have a Maid of Honor and Best Man dance. That would be quite interesting.

Bella POV

"Ok, so the truth is, I only made you look to me and Tom to make you mad" I whispered to Edward while Esme and Dad talked with Laura about the plans. I believe they were talking about the invites.

"Why would you do that?" He asked kind of upset. Great. I was being sarcastic.

"Because, you were just so…over protective. It was annoying. I did it out of spite. I'm sorry" I explained with an apology and took his right hand in my tiny hands. Dang, they were big with long pale fingers. Then again, he did play piano. He never gave that out though. I hear him playing faintly at night. He's a beautiful player.

"I'm sorry, but I know how Tom is. I try to warn people, they don't listen, and they end up getting hurt like I told them. Tom's a huge player. Bella, you're like already my sister, and I would a huge asshole if I didn't protect you like I do my bio sisters. Look, I feel a strange sense of protection over you, and I don't know why, but I just do. Can't you trust me, when I tell you bad things about him?" He asked. He held me with those emerald green eyes of his and I looked to the ground. Henplayed with the middle finger-of course-and we stayed quiet.

"I like that idea. The light green invites instead of green. Gives it a more comforting feel" Edward told his mother.

"Ooh, I like that too. Thanks sweetie" Esme smiled and so far all they had was a light mossy green color and ivory invites with cursive writing when their names were shown and this font that reminded me of FBI undercover work. I giggled.

"I'm sorry Edward" I repeated after he wouldn't look at me. I really did feel bad. I told Alice and she told me to tell him the truth. She said he hates being lied to; he roots for honesty. I really messed up.

"Bella, I forgive you, but like, I want you to trust me when I tell serious stuff. I'm not a serious person, everyone can see that, so when I am being serious, it means you need listen and believe what I'm saying." He told me. I understood.

"I know Edward, but I love Tom. He loves me too," I told him. I saw Edward's fists balled up and he looked away. The tendons sticking out of his muscled arm.

"I'm sorry Edward, I trust you, but I trust Tom too," I said and Esme and Dad were smiling and looking at shades of green.

"Fine, I don't care. Go ahead, get your heart broken, I don't give a shit. But when your heart gets broken, don't come running to me, because all you'll hear is: I told you so" He said and went to his phone. I tired to hold back tears.

"Hey Mom, I have to go, I have practice" Edward told Esme. Esme nodded kissed his cheek and excused him from the table and he left the building without a glance back at me.

I just had to make Edward serious for this chapter. I don't like to, but I did. I hope you like the serious side of Edward.

XOXO Lizzy
