This story is Rated "M"


As if today can get anymore weirder. First I find out my best friend gets thrown over a banister and is a mild coma, then his sister had a secret wedding, lastly the first woman who has brought out any type of strong emotion inside of me in a long time doesn't remember what she was doing at the church or remember what happened.

Can this get anymore complicated?

When I pull up near the church, its in total commotion. There's cameramen, police cars, ambulances all around, and traffic is terrible. I pull over to the side of the street. I turn towards Bella.

"Look Bella, I need you to stay in the car for the time being. I want to go talk to my brother and see if I can get some more information on what happened."

"But maybe…"

"It's important if you stay here in the car, were no one will see you."

"But what if I can remember something if I go inside?"

"I can't take that chance right now. If you're out here then I'll know your safe. Will you just stay in the car until I get back?" I look at her and smile my crooked smile.

"Okay. I'll stay in here."

"Great I won't be long. I'll be back before you know it."

I get out the car and start walking to all the chaos. I get to the crime scene tape and let a cop know I'm here to see my brother. I start to walk under the tape when I feel someone's hands go around my waist. I turn around and see Lauren standing there, with her grin that says "I know I'm going to get a story" reporter smile on.

"Can I help you Lauren?"

"Oh now Edward, there's no need to get grouchy. I just came over here to see what you know about what happened today."

" I don't know anything. If I did I sure wouldn't tell you."

"Edward, now don't be so harsh. I mean we used to be good together."

"You're right we were. That was before you used me to get a story. Look I need to go talk to my brother so if you'll excuse me."

I walk away from my past. A past that I thought would stay there. Damn how does she still get to me after all this time. Lauren and I had a small thing. Ok, it was a little more than that. I though she was the one. I was thinking of proposing but it never came to doing it. Before I bought the ring, I heard her looking in one of my clients' cases. When I asked her what she was doing she said that my case would launch her career. That's when I saw her for what she really was. After the break up, I dated occasionally. Never anything too serious. I like to keep them light enough were everyone's happy in the end.


I walk through the church slowly. Looking around taking everything in. The top banister is a little broken. There're gunshots in the wall. I start walking to where Emmett is. I see him arguing with this blonde woman. Wearing a apron. I'm thinking this must be the caterer. I walk up to them. They don't seem to notice I'm standing there. I clear my throat. They look in my direction.

"Hey Em. Umm…who's this? I say pointing to the blonde woman.

"Rosalie Hale this is my brother. Edward. Edward. Rosalie" He says with a twitch of a smile on his face.

"Nice to meet you. Emmett, can we talk?"

"Sure." I see him point to an officer. He tells him something in the officers' ear. The officer tries to take Rosalie arms. She snap and he cower back a little.

"Rosalie, will you please follow Officer Jones into the other room for a moment." My brother asks.

I've never seen this side of the Emmett. After the accident he started acting a lot more like the older brother. I've never seen him ask for much, he usually tells people how things are going to be. I'm started to like this Rosalie already. She walks with Officer Jones shooting daggers' at Emmett the whole way. When she leaves I turn toward Emmett.

"Wow, she's a little firecracker. So can you tell me what happened here?"

"Uh yeah. Ok well, Jessica and Mike were supposed to have a secret wedding. They didn't want anyone to know except the Preacher, and a mystery woman. Someone people must have wanted to interrupt because the Preacher got shot and is in intensive care at the hospital. Rosalie was supposed to be the caterer. She says she was in the kitchen setting up when she heard gunshots. All she saw was a man run upstairs and Jacob run after her. She threw her cell phone at one of the guys. Thank god she did because the Pastor could've died if the shot hit three inches left."

"So what does this all mean? I mean what does all of it mean."

"It looks like Jacob must've found out about his baby sister getting married and wanted to stop it. Mike's bodyguard got in the middle and as for the other guys I don't know what they have to do with this. But all things point to Jacob being involved in this somehow and he will get charged for murder and some other counts."

"You can't let that happen. You have to know Jacob wouldn't do something as stupid as this."

"I know that but I also can see where a prosecutor would say against him. I mean if I didn't know him so well I would be thinking some of the same things. Until Jacob wakes up, or the pastor can get well enough for us to talk to him, or unless that mystery woman shows up I can't do much, or Mike and Jessica show up and can tell us everything."

"What mystery girl?"

"There was another purse found upstairs in the changing rooms. There was no id in it."

"So what's up with you can Rosalie."

"Nothing. She's just a witness."

"That right. Just a witness who you call by there first name. Ok I believe you."

"Look there's nothing going on."

"I..." I stop when I see brown hair go around the corner. "Look, I'll see you later tonight. I just thought I have something to deal with."

I run away before he gets to say anything. I thought I told her to stay in the car. I turn the corner and see the back door open a little. She probably went out so she wouldn't be seen. I get to the door and open. I see her running to get back out to the street. I go back in the church. I walk to the other side of the church to the side door. I open and see she almost gets to it when I hear a screech and a white van driving straight towards her. She doesn't notice me until I grab her around the waist and pull her into the church. She screams.
