And as that all crossed my mind, I began to laugh. It just sounded like they were spies, or the evil people. Just like in a movie, where the most unsuspected people, turned out to be the one that would hurt you the most.
What the heck? Alec and his friends were crazy!

My Happy Ending
You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be
You were everything, everything
That I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be
But we lost it
All of our memories so close to me
Just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending

''Bella get up already!''
I groaned and shook my head, keeping my eyes safely closed.
''Don't make me get water,'' Alice threatened after her desperate attempts at waking me up failed. Failed only because the pillow I had placed over my head had thankfully blocked the noises that the alarm clock Alice had placed in my bed was making.
My eyes snapped open at that, and turned to face the two very smug looking Alice and Jane that were trying to wake me up way too early for my liking. ''You wouldn't.''
''Try me,'' Alice responded, with an angelic expression that somehow made her look more threatening.
I sighed and started to get up. There was absolutely no way I was going to get splashed with cold water in the morning. I refused for that to be the way that I started my day. I sat up and narrowed my eyes playfully at them. ''There, I'm up.''
I didn't understand why we had to get up at six o'clock in the morning anyway, if we weren't supposed to be at the mall until 12 PM. Who needed six hours to get ready? It was beyond ridiculous. All we had to do was take a quick shower, change into comfortable clothes, and eat...not go to the beauty salon that will surely make an appearance in our room bathroom. Nobody needed that long to get ready, and this was interrupting my sleeping time. I just wish I could close my eyes again, and keep dreaming of those beautiful green eyes that were present in almost every dream I had.
''Good, the next threat was calling Edward,'' Jane laughed and there was an evil glint in her eyes that immediately made me curious.
''What?'' I asked them, trying to figure out the meaning behind her words. They both did this creepy thing of looking at each other and then start giggling.
''Well, let just say that last night you said something pretty interesting.'' Alice winked, before they burst out laughing once more. I could feel the heat in my cheeks start as I contemplated what could have been said last night.
''Oh no, what did I say?'' The outlook wasn't bright. I had been dreaming of Edward last night after the three of us listened to the CD Edward had given me right before we went to sleep.
'' 'Oh Edward'," Jane mocked as she put her hand in her forehead and sighed deeply. I was sure my face was bright red, and the two of them seemed to find something entertaining about my reaction because they continued laughing.
''Oh but that is not the only thing you said!'' I buried my face in my hands as Alice spoke. '' 'Oh Edward, you mean the world to me'.''
I didn't think my face could have gotten any redder when Alice spoke. Apparently, I said something more in my sleep. Stupid sleep talking. ''My favorite though, because it was incredibly sweet was the 'I love you, Edward','' Alice said and I froze.
I could not have said that, right? I mean, sure I was pretty crazy about Edward, but did I love him? I was trying to think it through, but Alice and Jane kept laughing and that was ruining my concentration. So I did the first thing that I came to mind. I threw my pillow at them.
''Owe, what the heck was that for!'' Alice whined after picking out said pillow and threw it back my way.
''Did I really say that?'' I asked, ignoring their teasing.
Jane nodded, and I sighed because this was not something I had expected to feel, at least not right away. Loving someone was a huge thing, and it needed to be treated seriously. Many people thought that, after a boyfriend of two weeks, they fell in love. And they only get even more heartbroken because they thought 'the love of their lives had left them'.
I admit I was scared of this. Scared because my previous encounters with relationships had been brutal. I thought that I had found love in Jacob, but really I hadn't. I had only hurt myself even further when the beatings started. Jacob had only beat me about three times, but those times were enough to scare me enough about relationships.
There were many things to think about, though. Like, the fact that I have never felt anything with anyone, like with Edward. Edward made me feel safe, secure, beautiful and so many other things as well. But it was silly for me to believe that all of this was love, right?
Except, a voice at the back of my head said, that Edward is different. He would never hurt you, he will always be with you, and he will always love you.
''I love Edward Cullen,'' I whispered, low enough for the girls not to hear me. After the realization hit me, I smiled widely.
''Okay, okay let's go already!'' I said after, finally, five hours of getting ready were finished. Seriously, it was ridiculous to say at least, but I made a mental note to never voice that out to either Alice or Jane, because if you do, then will kick you in the shin with one of those high-heels shoes that have pointy ends.
It damn hurts!
I have to give it to them, though, they make a pretty good team, and they are fabulous in the ''beautification process'', as Alice calls it. After hours of sitting in that uncomfortable kitchen chair, which made my butt numb, they did a pretty good job. They put my brown hair into a pony tail, which made me look sophisticated yet flirty at the same time. After some arguing, a nice blue shirt and a pair of tight jeans, was finally approved as my wardrobe. And my favorite pair of Converse to go with it. Thank the Lord!
Alice was wearing a nice silk-organza blouse with black leggings. And as if that wasn't way overboard to just go to the mall, she was wearing tall high heels that made her look taller. She didn't seem to have trouble to walk in them, or run in them as well, but if she wanted me to wear them, we will probably spend the rest of the day at the lovely hospital ER room.
Jane had resolved in wearing a pair of shorts that could really only be worn in a place as warm as Arizona, not in Forks. Apart from that, she had combined it with a color-block jersey tank that had three different light colors, and a pair of pink petal flower flip flops. It looked nice on her, even though it was designed for a place as warm as Phoenix.
Finally, finally, we were all ready to head to the mall where we would be meeting Edward, Jasper, and Rose. Now, though we had to ride in the car with Alec, which would ruin my mood any day. Nobody could understand why, miraculously, he wanted to go to the mall now, claiming he needed new shoes for the event.
It was all just a little weird, and last night event couldn't seem to be leaving my mind any second now. After eavesdropping on Alec's phone conversation, which I admit was wrong for me to do after all everyone needed privacy, I had been feeling weird. And when I slept I couldn't erase the feeling that told me that something was wrong, that something was going to happen.
''Come on, get in the car,'' Emmett hurried us along, as if I needed to be hurried, into his cars he pulled out his ringing phone out of his pocket.
''Ten bucks it's Rose,'' Jane said, making me jump as she appeared next to me. I just laughed and shrugged knowing already that it was Rosalie. Those two never seemed to be off the phone, and nobody was going to stop them.
We all climbed into the car, after I called shotgun and Emmett started the car, while keeping his phone safely tucked between his shoulder and ear. Throughout the car ride to the mall, we all talked about what we needed to get, and Alec surprised me by being friendly and joining into the conversation. Though he was acting strange as he checked his phone routinely and it seemed that he was nervous sometimes as well. Very strange.
''Well, yeah I think Rose, Bella and I need dresses to go to the big event-''
''But Ali, I thought we already had the dresses we bought the first time we went shopping, remember?'' I whined.
Alice rolled her eyes as laughter filled the car. ''Those dresses are not formal! We need long dresses and so many other things!''
It was my turn to roll my eyes, but I didn't argue just looked ahead as everyone else joined into the conversation, deciding to stay quiet in my own little world.
That's why I was totally surprised when my door opened and a velvet voice whispered in my ear. ''Something wrong?''
I jumped because I was caught off guard and shook my head to clear it. I smiled and turned to face a smiling Edward. ''Sorry, I was lost in my own little world,'' I admitted.
''So it seems,'' he agreed. ''You know, you tend to do that quite a lot.''
I smiled once again and shrugged as he helped me out of the car and we followed the others into the mall.
Later on, we were looking for the dresses we would be wearing to the event that was going to be taking place in a hotel that was big enough to hold the guests, and so far it was going just great. None of the three of us that were looking for dresses could find one and I was getting frustrated. Some dresses were just too short, too revealing, or too long that they looked like wedding dresses. Finally, Rosalie snapped.
''I don't care if they want us all in long dresses, they aren't any! I don't know about you guys, but I am just going to look for a shorter dress, not one that touches the ground!'' she said as she ran a hand through her blonde hair. We all nodded and agreed that that was the best thing that could have possibly been said.
We continued looking around, but my mind was more on Edward and where he was. I wasn't a controlling girlfriend, and I didn't want to know every step that Edward took, but I was getting a bad feeling in my stomach and it was making it hard to breathe normally. The guys had gone to some store after Jane, Alice, Rose and I decided to enter this store, and we weren't sure where they were.
I was across the room from the rest of the girls when I heard Alec's voice. ''Hey Bella, can I talk to you?''
I turned and looked at him curiously as I nodded and he led the way out of the store. I was curious as to what he wanted to talk about, and why this subject had to be brought up out of the shop I had been in. He led me to the long hallway just outside the store, where I couldn't see the girls picking out their perfect dresses.
As soon as he stopped, he turned to look at me, but didn't say anything. After a long, uncomfortable silence, I began to wonder if he was waiting for me to say something; I cleared my throat and forced a smile on my face. ''What do you want to talk about, Alec?''
He looked at me for a second and then quickly looked behind him before he answered. ''I wanted to apologize for how rude I have been with you, your family, and your boyfriend,'' he said after a minute. ''I was just jealous, though that isn't a valuable excuse to justify the way I have been acting.''
I just stared at him, unable to understand why he was apologizing now, but he seemed sincere. ''Thanks for your apology, Alec, and if you want my forgiveness, then you have it.''
He smiled and opened his hands wide and I stepped into his embrace. After a couple seconds of being there he sighed loudly, but it sounded off.
''What's wrong?'' I asked as I stepped out of his arms to see his worried expression.
He shook his head. ''I can't keep something from you this big,'' he said suddenly, making me even more confused than what I already was.
''What do you mean?''
''Bella,'' he said after a moment of thought. ''There was another reason to why I came here to look for you.'' And he stopped there, making it even harder to breathe as I contemplated what could come out of his mouth next. Had there been an accident? Were Edward and the rest of the guys okay? What the hell was happening?
''Which was,'' I proceeded.
''I saw Edward..."
''You saw Edward...'' I repeated making the hand motion for him to continue.
''I saw Edward making out with another girl.''
And I laughed. Right. ''Alec, you're delusional. Maybe you should go to the eye doctor while we are here,'' I joked, but part of my head was registering his words.
Even though I told myself not to, I began to wonder if he was saying the truth. Edward had acted mighty strange yesterday, but that was only a phone call, right?
Right?
Alec shook his head. ''If you don't believe me, why don't you look behind you?''
I shook my head, but turned to look in the direction he was pointing. I felt tears run down my cheeks, my heart breaking, as I took the sight of Edward.
Of Edward...kissing a drop dead gorgeous blond.
I hugged my arms around my torso and after a quick look in the direction of him, I ran out of the mall. All the while thinking:
This cannot be occurring, I have to be dreaming. I have to be in bed still. Alice and Jane still haven't woken me up yet.
There you go! All the outfits, even Rosalie's thought it wasn't described here, are on my profile! Please review!
