Psychiatric Breakdown
1½ years later (After Psych Consult)
B POV
"Tell me this isn't happening, please, for the sake of my sanity tell me this is all a dream and I'm going to wake up in your huge comfy bed and all of this never actually happened," I begged. I was officially in an alternate dimension, or the twilight zone. Or, I was finally having that big mental break down Alice thought I was going to have some time soon. Either way this alternate reality/zone/breakdown totally sucks major melons, if you know what I mean.
I don't remember anything about how I ended up here, in this dress, with my hair all lame, with makeup caked on my face and these demon shoes on my feet. Seriously, I think I need to see one of my superiors about this...get myself some psychiatric help.
You know when you have that one dream or nightmare constantly, that wakes you up panting and gasping for air and you think, 'what the hell was that shit about?' Yeah, well imagine if that goddamn dream/nightmare actually became a reality. I'm literally living my worst nightmare, today, on Valentine's Day! As if this stupid, pointless holiday isn't stupid enough...just add this shit into the mix!
"Baby, I can't tell you that...this is happening. We've been over this a million times," Edward soothed, rubbing my shoulders in a gesture that was supposed to be calming, but was only irritating me more because of the stupid lace sleeves or whatever the hell they were on the dress Alice made me.
"No! This isn't happening, Edward. Because, if this is actually happening then there should be cars flying around like in Back to the Future two, and Ewoks should be prancing down the street, and I should be 5'9 with long legs and a killer rack! This is an alternate universe, Edward! None of this shit is real!"
It's official, I've gone insane.
Apparently so has my boyfriend because he started laughing at me!
"Ewoks? Flying cars? Oh god, baby, you're too much!" he laughed. "And I love your legs, and you're rack...leave 'em be!"
I started grumbling profanities and random nonsense under my breath while crossing my arms over my chest.
Fuck this day! Worst. Day. Ever!
"Is she still convinced she's in an alternate universe?" I heard Alice ask from behind me. I turned to see Alice looking lovely in a light peach coloured dress with her hair all spiked and crazy, sticking out every which way. She had peach coloured stilettos on her feet and platinum jewellery twinkling from her neck, ears and wrists.
Glamazon.
I'm stuck in a dark navy blue dress which is complete with lace sleeves that are making my arms itchy. Alice, the fashion Nazi, didn't grant me a pardon to wear silver flats today; instead I'm stuck in silver stilettos which match my silver headband and jewellery.
I'm a danger to society in this stupid outfit.
"Yes, as a matter of fact she is," Edward smirked at me then to my best friend slash traitor.
"What's in this universe, Bella? Storm Troopers again?" I heard Jasper's Texan drawl come up from behind Alice. Jasper, like Edward, looked extremely dashing in a suit, although Jasper's was a dark grey and Edward's was black. Jasper had a peach tie to match Alice's dress and Edward had a navy blue tie for mine.
"Nope," Edward laughed. "Ewoks this time 'round."
"Nice!" Jasper said sticking out his fist for a fist bump, I bumped it back rolling my eyes and fighting a smile...sly bastard.
"I can't handle this! It isn't happening, this is all a dream and I'm going to wake up and laugh at this stupid, stupid dream," I chanted to myself, closing my eyes while rubbing my temples.
"Oh dear God, get over it Bella! Emmett and Rosalie are getting married today, just deal with it!" Alice nearly shrieked, jabbing a manicured nail at my face.
She's practically half Ewok, so this is totally an alternate universe.
"Jesus, Alice, I don't think the nice people in Mongolia heard you that time, try it a little louder!" I snapped, huffing and crossing my arms again.
I repeat, worst...day...ever!
"Baby," Edward said sighing, while rubbing my back. "I know you don't want this to happen...but it's Em decision, let him be. Let them live their lives, together."
I knew I was being a bitch, but I'm looking out for my goddamn twin brother here! He's marrying Medusa today! What the hell am I supposed to do, sit back and let him ruin his life? Have his children born with snakes for hair...okay, so that's kind of an exaggeration. Rosalie doesn't have snakes for hair, or so she's lead me to believe. I mean it could all be a wig, right? Whatever, either way Rosalie is still the Spawn of Satan—seriously, I've met her father, he's a mega douche. After today Rosalie Hale will become Rosalie Hale-Swan—yes, she's hyphening it—and become my (shudder) sister-in-law.
Why do I suddenly feel sick to my stomach? Oh right, thinking about Rosabitch again, silly me.
"Whatever, I'm not going to be there to pick up the pieces or give him free psych consults when shit hits the fan. He can mope all by his lonesome for all I care."
Edward chucked under his breath, Jasper guffawed loudly and Alice sighed and rolled her eyes, but I could see her fighting a smile.
"Can we get this shit over with so I can get drunk at the reception, please?" I moaned burying my face in Edward's warm chest.
I felt Edward's lips press against my hair and his chest vibrate from laughing.
"Isabella Marie, if you ruin your makeup I swear to God, I will kill you," Alice snapped behind me.
"Promise?" I muttered.
I heard her huff behind me; I mentally gave myself a high-five.
"Stop being such a drama queen, Bella! You weren't this bad at my wedding and you were actually in the bridal party!"
I rolled my eyes and snorted. Alice and Jasper got married on New Year's Day last month and Alice asked me to be her Maid of Honour, and I was well...honoured. I was nervous as hell, but I was actually excited for Alice and Jasper to get married, I mean that's a union I can live with and accept...Rosalie and my brother? Not so much.
Alice is in Rosalie's bridal party. Alice! They don't even talk, like ever! Thank god Rosalie didn't ask me to be part of her Bridal party because I would have just destroyed everything from the inside, like a freaking super spy or something equally awesome. Plus, I wouldn't even have accepted if she asked in the first place.
Rosalie's maid of honour is her old college roommate, some Russian supermodel named Tanya something-I-can't-pronounce, who just so happens to be infatuated with the Best Man, my boyfriend and love of my life, Edward Masen. Oh joy. I think Rosalie planned that, because she's always been trying to break Edward and me up.
Dream on, Blondie. You've gotta do better than getting a Russian to do your dirty work.
So I get the privileged honour of sitting in a pew with my father, my mother, my step-father Phil, and Jasper. Oh yeah, everything is just coming up Bella Swan these days. Of course, Jasper and I will just end up making fun of people since we're awesome, but that's beside the point.
"Whatever," I mumbled again into Edward's shirt. "Where's my dad?" I asked, knowing Edward would have tabs on Charlie.
Those two were two peas in a pod oddly enough, same with Edward and my mom. Renee thinks Edward is the second coming, and is literally counting down the days till we tell her I am expecting Edward's first born, because the baby will be—and I quote—"the most beautiful baby in the universe, with the hottest grandmother ever!" Rosalie didn't get a hot grandchildren comment so I was feeling pretty good about myself that day.
Bella: 1. Rosalie: zero!
"Outside talking to my father, I believe, why?"
"Just wondering where my pew buddy is," I smiled looking up into his eyes.
"I think my mom wants to sit with you too, you're very popular with the parents at this wedding," he smirked before kissing me lightly on the lips.
It's true; I'm a parent magnet of the positive variety. Liz and Ed are totally awesome and always give me dirt to use on Edward when he's not around or not listening to our conversation. Like the story about Edward wanting to be Ariel from the Little Mermaid for Halloween one year because he thought they had the same colour hair—priceless! Liz also sends me frequent e-mails with cute sayings or just updating me on Chicago in general, to which I in turn gossip about work and my relationship with Edward. Win-win situation for the both of us, really.
"Isabella!" I heard a voice sing behind me. I turned to see my gigantic beast of a cousin Felix smiling at me with his arms opened wide waiting for me to jump into them, which I did.
Felix is about four times bigger than Emmett so it's like being hugged by a gigantic panda to Emmett's grizzly bear.
"Felix Martin McCarty! You crazy bastard! How are yah?" I asked when he finally put me down.
Felix chuckled. "I'm good, baby cousin, how are you?"
"Eh…same old, same old. Felix, this is my best friend, Alice Whitlock and her husband, Jasper," I said gesturing to Jasper and Alice who were looking at Felix with wide eyes, probably never seeing someone of his size before. "And this is my boyfriend, Edward Masen," I said winking at Edward who looked kind of nervous of Felix.
"Nice to meet y'all, Aunt Renee is always talking about the three of you and how good you are for Bells here. Any friend of the squirt is a friend of mine," he said with a grin.
Alice, Edward and Jasper all started launching off questions at Felix, wanting to get to know him better since he's like a bigger, funnier version of Emmett.
"Edvarddd!" I heard a voice with a deep Russian accent call over Felix's story of the classic Bella Swan summer of '96 fiasco.
Phew, dodged that bullet.
Tanya whatever-her-last-name-is came prancing into my line of sight and I had to repress a grumble and a growl.
"Be nice, baby," Edward whispered into my ear before kissing my temple and wrapping his arm tightly around my waist.
"Yes, Tanya?" Edward replied politely.
"Ve need you and Avice to get ready vor zee ceremony, yeah?" Tanya said speaking deeply with her Russian accent. Apparently she never really had that deep of an accent when Rose knew her in university, but she moved back to Russia to model and has since gained the accent back. My personal favourite is how she say's 'Alice', it makes Ali cringe every time...it's priceless.
"Okay, we'll be there in a minute..." Edward said turning to me, smiling a tight smile.
Tanya winked and looked over Edward from head to toe before turning around and leaving again. I felt the sudden urge to stab her with my high heeled shoe.
It wouldn't hurt her that much...
I turned towards Edward and pouted a little, doing my best version of the Alice Brandon (now Whitlock) puppy dog eyes.
"Bella," Edward sighed, pulling me into a tight hug crashing me into his chest. "I love you baby, but those eyes and that pout will be the death of me someday."
I giggled lightly and squeezed him harder around the waist. "Don't let the Russian try anything funny, okay?" I whispered.
Edward scoffed and rolled his eyes. "As if I would let that woman come in between you and me! I love you more than you will ever know, sweetheart." He kissed me on the forehead, then on both cheeks and then passionately on the lips. "Just think," he whispered against my lips causing me to whimper quietly as his sweet breath fanned across my face. "The next wedding will be ours."
I leaned back, shocked. "Is that you proposing? Because if so, I don't see this supposed wedding happening any time soon...or ever."
"No, Bella," he sighed, smiling. "I plan on surprising you with the most romantic proposal that will put all other men to shame."
"I should hope so," I smiled, winking.
Edward kissed me on the lips again lightly and let go of me reluctantly. "Go sit in your pew with everyone, and behave please. This is Emmett's decision, not yours. Okay, baby?"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah...go do your best man crap. I'll see you later, honey."
"I love you, Isabella."
"I love you, Edward."
Edward walked away smiling at me and shook Felix's large hand. "Don't worry, Masen," Felix smiled. "Jasper and I will take care of the squirt for you."
I scoffed and rolled my eyes. "I don't need babysitters, Felix."
"Sure you do, tiny. God knows what you'll do given half the chance."
Edward and Jasper laughed. "Thanks, Felix. I appreciate it," Edward smiled patting his back and winking at me.
"No problem, cuz. Welcome to the family!"
Edward's smile was blinding, and he then shook his head a little before offering Alice his arm so they could walk together towards the rest of the bridal party.
Reluctantly—not kicking and screaming like I really wanted to—Jasper and Felix lead me towards the second pew on the right side of the church, for the groom's side of the family. Jasper sat on the end; I was sandwiched in the middle with Felix on my other side. The three of us began talking about famous family weddings and all the shit that the three of us got into.
"Bella! Do you remember Lauren's wedding to that loser...uh...crap, what was his name again?" Felix asked while people began to trickle into the pews around us.
"Caius," I supplied with a smile.
"Yeah! Caius! So, Jasper, picture this: thirteen year olds Emmett, Bella and Felix are sitting at the reception of their older cousin's wedding, where she is marrying some weirdo who is 20 years her senior. So when they have their first couple as a married couple Emmett turns to me and says, 'Hopefully the old man doesn't break a hip while he's dancing!'" Felix did a very convincing Emmett impersonation which had Jasper and I in stitches.
"Okay..." Jasper said, motioning for Felix to continue.
"We didn't realize that we were sharing a table with Caius's brother, Aro...who was just as—if not more—creepy as Caius. He turns to us and says, 'You should have more respect for your elders, my boy!' And then he walked off. Bella, Em and I immediately started laughing loudly at the whole randomness of the situation. And then, no more than two minutes later Caius went down because he slipped a disc in his back dancing with his new wife!"
The three of us were laughing loudly, Jasper almost to the point of tears. My laughing was cut off by Liz and Ed Masen standing in the aisle beside Jasper and smiling down at me. I rose to give them both hugs.
"It's good to see you, Bella," Ed smiled after letting me go from his massive hug.
"It's great to see you too! Liz, Ed, this is Alice's husband Jasper Whitlock, who I believe you have met before," I said motioning to Jasper who rose to give Ed a hand shake and Liz a light kiss on the cheek. "And that beast of a man is my cousin, Felix McCarty. Felix, this is Liz and Ed Masen, Edward's parents."
Felix rose and gave Ed a pat on the back and a man hug; which seemed to surprise Ed tremendously. Felix then gave Liz a big kiss on the cheek and a tight squeeze. "Well, it looks like if Edward has his way we'll be almost family sometime soon!" Felix smiled, causing my face to go bright red.
Ed and Liz laughed and got into the pew behind us, talking with Jasper and Felix as I looked around the church, seeing all the people coming in. I noticed a few random cousins and old Forks high friends peppered into the crowd. As well as almost half of Emmett's old UW football team, who were being overly obnoxious and flirting with some of Rosalie's female family members.
"Looking for me?" I heard a gruff, familiar voice say to me from the pew in front of mine. I smiled and turned my body looking directly into the same brown eyes as my own.
"Always, Dad," I replied with a smile.
Charlie chuckled and shrugged. "It was bound to happen; I'm pretty famous you know."
I laughed and stood, getting up to give him a hug. "In your dreams, Chief."
Charlie scoffed and lifted me into his arms, in a very usual Emmett gesture. "How are yah, Bells?" Charlie asked into my hair as he hugged me.
"I'm okay, Dad. How are you holding up? Your only boy is getting married today!" I gasped in fake horror.
Well, it probably seemed fake to Charlie.
Charlie rolled his eyes and placed me back on the ground. "Better than your mother, that's for sure."
Before I could ask him what he meant I was almost side tackled by someone, but Charlie managed to save me and my attacker from certain embarrassment.
"Oh, Bella!" I heard my attacker blubber into my shoulder. I sighed and looked at Charlie who seemed to be fighting a smile.
"Mom," I sighed again. "Are you seriously crying right now?"
"Isabella Marie!" Renee scolded, leaning back to look into my eyes. Hers were puffy and red and filled with tears. I held back an eye roll. Renee is always emotional at weddings, or any general family event. She was in sobbing hysterics at the last family reunion for some unknown reason, Phil managed to calm her down then...apparently not so much now.
"My precious baby boy is getting married today! How can I not cry at a monumental occasion like this?" Renee asked still holding onto me for dear life.
"Mom, you cried when I got my braces off. And when Emmett got his first job, when I learned how to tie my shoe laces and when Emmett passed every single one of his swimming lessons. So, how am I supposed to know this is a monumental occasion, when you cry over everything?" I asked as nicely as possible, but I was used to this fuckery with Renee, and it got old really fast growing up. It's like the poor woman's hormones are constantly out of whack.
Maybe I should convince Edward to do some tests on her or something...
"Don't be silly Isabella, I never cried then!" Renee said, avoiding my eyes like she and I both do when we lie.
"Yes you did, Mom," Emmett's voice said from behind me.
I spun around and smiled before giving him a hug. Emmett chuckled and lifted me off the ground and cut off most of my limited air supply.
"Hello to you too, Bella!"
I started gasping for air and looked over at Edward who suddenly materialized beside Emmett with panic in my eyes.
"Em! Bella can't breathe," Edward scolded trying to release Emmett's arms from my waist.
"Oh!" Emmett said releasing me, causing me to fall...thankfully Edward caught me and righted me onto the ground. "Sorry Bells, I'm kinda nervous."
"No problem," I squeaked.
Edward grabbed my face in between his hands, staring into my eyes trying to see if I was really okay. "Are you okay?" he said seriously all the while looking into my eyes.
I resisted the urge to roll my eyes, he can be so overly-protective sometimes.
"Yes, Edward, I'm fine."
"Emmett Charles!" Renee suddenly scolded from somewhere behind Edward's tall frame. I saw Phil hang his head in defeat, Charlie stifle a laugh, and Emmett roll his eyes simultaneously, as if they all practiced beforehand. "How dare you try to kill your sister on your wedding day!" Renee scolded even louder, poking Emmett in the chest all the while tears were falling down her cheeks. "I'm emotional enough as it is!"
I could faintly hear Charlie mumble something under his breath that sounded like 'understatement'. I could feel Edward's body shaking from laughter in front of me and I shook my head and released my face from his grasp.
"Mom," I said standing between Renee and Emmett. "Emmett didn't mean to hurt me, he's sorry and it won't happen again. We know you're an emotional nutcase right now, but I think it would be best if you sit down and take a breather, okay? The last thing we need is you fainting on us. Phil?" I called turning towards a sheepish looking Phil. "Please get your hysteric wife under control, there's only so much I can do." Phil nodded and placed a hand on Renee's shoulder. "I love you mom, but I need you to get a hold of your emotions—at least until the ceremony starts, okay?" I asked nicely kissing her cheek.
Renee sighed and nodded, then turned with Phil to take her seat in the first pew.
"So I guess Aunt Heidi isn't the only emotional wreck in the family, huh Aunt Renee?" Felix commented, leaning forward to speak to Renee. Aunt Heidi is Renee's younger sister, who is quite possibly a thousand times worse than Renee...she cries non-stop and without any warning. Aunt Heidi even cried at the leaves falling to the ground in fall one year—no one has any idea why. She's kind of the family nut case—Renee coming in at a close second.
God my family is freaking psychotic!
"Felix?" Renee said sweetly, turning towards Felix's face.
"Yeah?"
"Do me a favour...and shut the fuck up."
With that Felix leaned back in his seat and placed a hand over his mouth to keep from laughing. I sighed and turned towards Edward and Emmett who looked extremely amused and slightly frightened by Renee's outburst.
I shook my head and ordered them to get into their damned places. They both stopped laughing and nodded, standing where they needed to. Emmett's two other groomsmen came up to stand with Edward and Emmett. Peter Wright was Emmett's close work friend and partial business partner of Emmett's company, and Rosalie's younger brother, Owen Hale, was Emmett's last groomsmen.
I gave Pete a hug and waved at Owen—who looked even less enthused than me to be at this particular wedding. I gave Emmett and Edward kisses on the cheek wishing them both luck before turning back to sit in my seat. I saw someone wave to me out of my peripherals down a couple chairs, and looked up to see Theresa and Kevin Brandon—Alice's parents—waving at me, smiling widely. I waved back and winked.
"Hey, Jazz," I said leaning down to speak to Jasper who was talking to Felix about something. "Might wanna go sit with the in-laws back there," I motioned to Theresa and Kevin with my head. Jasper whirled around to see the Brandon's before getting out of his seat, kissing me on the cheek to go sit with them.
"Just me and you now, squirt," Felix smiled pulling me into his side. I looked beside him to see my Aunt Siobhan and my Uncle Liam sitting beside their son. We exchanged hellos and caught up on our lives quickly. I was in the middle of telling Uncle Liam all about how I met Edward—well, the PG version—when I felt someone suddenly sit beside me. I turned to see the bright smiling face of Angela Webber, my good friend from Forks high school.
Needless to say, I squealed like a little girl and hugged the crap out of her skinny frame. "Angie? Oh my god! How are you?!" Angela and I have only really communicated with e-mail since she moved out to New York after high school graduation to attend NYU. She's currently an Editor at Time magazine, and still dating her high school sweetheart, Ben Cheney.
"I'm great, Bella! How are you, I haven't seen you in forever!" she laughed, grabbing my hand and giving it a squeeze.
"Yeah, like high school graduation, forever!" I laughed. "I'm doing well; I'm still at SGH and loving it. Jasper moved in with Alice so I moved out, and I now live with Edward." I laughed motioning to Edward who was currently giving Emmett some encouraging words. "How about you, how's the Times? How's Ben?"
Angie's eyes went a little glassy eyed at the sight of Edward, but I was used to it so I let it slide—plus she's been with Ben for years. "Work is great! I'm actually on my vacation so I could come see the infamous Emmett Swan finally settle down, not to mention see the elusive Bella Swan!" Angela nudged me with her shoulder and I laughed, I do have a knack for being evasive when I get deep into work. "Ben's great," she continued after I stopped laughing. "He actually couldn't come; he's got the flu and feels really bad missing this. He says 'hello', though."
I smiled, Ben's always been a great guy and I love that he and Angela are happy together. "Don't worry, you can be my date for the ceremony, I'm all by my lonesome."
"Hey!" Felix cried beside me. "I thought I was your date!" he pouted.
I snorted and rolled my eyes. "Angela, this is my cousin Felix McCarty. Felix, this is my good friend, Angela Webber."
They shook hands and Angela agreed to share me with Felix, which caused him to laugh. Suddenly, music began to play and the priest showed up beside Emmett out of nowhere. I could hear Renee start to blubber out some cries in front of me, as well as Siobhan beside me. I heard Felix snort and mutter something like 'damn hormones'. I tuned him out though, because I was suddenly hit by a wave of nausea.
Oh dear god, this is actually happening...right now! Emmett is getting married! To Medusa! Oh god, I think I'm going to puke. Or pass out. Or have a mental breakdown...is this how all my patients feel sometimes?
I didn't realize I was hyperventilating until I felt Angela and Felix both grab either of my hands and whisper for me to calm down. I started counting my breaths.
1...2...3...4...demon seed nieces and nephews. Dammit....1...2...3...4...5.
In a moment of weakness, I looked up to see Edward looking down at me concerned and Alice coming down the aisle looking beautiful, but staring at me from the corner of her eye as well. I quickly shook my head and closed my eyes, trying to snap myself out of it.
I'm acting like a child, dammit Bella! Get a hold of yourself! You're acting like freaking Renee!
I kept my head down during the rest of the procession of the bridal party. I could hear murmurs and whispers as Rosalie and her father came down the aisle to the wedding march. All the while, I kept my head down, not risking anymore nausea spells or possible fainting.
I sat back down and kept my focus only on my feet. I couldn't find the strength to see the train wreck going on in front of me...I know my limits and I've never been one to push those limits to the point of insanity.
I could faintly hear some cheesy wedding vows be exchanged in the back of my mind, as well as some 'oohs' and 'awe's' from the crowd. I swallowed back vomit. I finally lifted my head when I heard the priest say those magic words that I had been dreading for the past few months since Emmett told me he and Rosalie were getting married.
"You may now kiss the bride," the ridiculously old priest said. He was actually kind of like that priest from The Princess Bride without the stuttering or overall awesomeness, which actually disappointed me for a minute till I saw Emmett reach over to kiss his new...wife.
Ugh, it makes me gag just thinking it.
The crowd erupted into cheers and Renee was sobbing into Phil's shoulder in front of me. Emmett was smiling the biggest smile I had ever seen and I instantly felt like a bitch for being against something that seemed to make him so happy. My grief was cut short by Rosalie smirking at me.
Fucking bitch!
Before anyone else saw it she composed her face into a smile, like nothing had happened and I had imagined it all.
"Did she seriously just smirk at you?!" Angela whisper-yelled into my ear, saving me from wondering if I was imagining things.
I snorted and rolled my eyes, nodding my head. I said something about it being Rosalie before I was distracted by the Russian petting my motherfucking man's arm and batting her stupid eyelashes at him. Edward looked repulsed, but was trying to play it off so the crowd wouldn't notice. I was on the verge of breaking that she-man's face when I felt arms suddenly wrap around my neck.
I turned to see Renee pulling me into her vortex of tears. I sent Charlie a distress message with my eyes, but he only looked amused at my utter horror and fear.
SOS here Chief! Serve and protect, dammit! Serve and protect!
"I cannot wait until it's your turn Bella-Boo," Renee blubbered into my shoulder, using my annoying pet name from when I was at least 3 years old. "You and Edward are such a beautiful couple!"
I awkwardly patted Renee's back, looking around for someone to at least save me. Both Charlie and Phil had conveniently diverted their attention to everyone exiting the church.
Thanks for the support, asshats!
"For sure, mom. We'll try our best," I muttered having no idea what to say to make her stop crying. Suddenly she let go of me and launched herself at her older brother, Liam, who looked extremely surprised and worried since his wife was still crying and now his sister.
Charlie, Felix and I exchanged glances and immediately started speed walking out of that damn church to sweet, sweet freedom. I had to drag Angela behind me for her to keep up.
***
"How long does it take to take pictures?" I grumbled from my table in the dining hall Emmett and Rosabitch rented for the reception. Jasper, Felix and Angela just shrugged and continued talking to each other about god knows what.
Where the freaking hell is Edward? And what shit is that Russian trying to pull?
I suddenly felt my purse clutch vibrate because of my damn cell phone. I motioned to Angie with my phone and she nodded. I quickly walked out of the hall to get outside.
"Hello, Dr. Swan speaking," I answered, knowing I was always on-call for some of my more needy patients.
I was immediately hit by the voice of one of my neediest patients, Jane. She's been having major issues with her anger, and has been taking it out on innocent people in her high school. She's the quid essential bully who lives to cause people pain.
Apparently, Jane decided to some of her inner rage on her twin brother, Alec, since she failed her French test on Friday. Honestly, I've tried everything for this poor girl but she's got issues even I cannot solve.
Perhaps electro-shock therapy could be best for her type of case?
"Jane?" I said into the phone, cutting off her angry ramblings. "I want you to go write down everything you are feeling and bring it into our session on Tuesday so we can discuss it, okay? Yes, you can type it up if you wish. Okay. Goodbye, Jane." I disconnected the call and hung my head, taking a deep breath.
How the hell am I going to help this girl?
My worrying was cut off my arms circling around my waist and familiar lips touching my ear. "Isabella," Edward's husky voice cooed into my ear. "I've been looking everywhere for you."
"And why is that?" I asked, trying my hardest to keep my composure.
I heard Edward sigh from behind me. "I couldn't focus during that ceremony, Bella. Do you want to know why, baby?"
"Why?" I whispered as Edward's hands grabbed me tighter around the waist.
"Because I was too busy imagining our wedding, Bella. That it was me getting married to you up there, in front of our friends and family, officially making you mine."
I felt the little bit of air whoosh out my lungs in a big rush.
"What I wouldn't give for you to be mine, right now," Edward continued to whisper into my ear.
"I'm already yours," I managed to squeak out.
Edward chuckled darkly. "Oh I know, baby. But some other people may not know that. Tanya, for example, seems to think she can have her way with me."
I instantly tensed.
The Russian!
"What did that crazy bitch try to pull?!" I nearly yelled turning around in Edward's arms, frowning.
Edward sighed and pulled me tighter to his chest. "Nothing, baby, I promise. I told her, nicely, that I was with someone I love more than life its self and that I was not interested in whatever it was she wanting from me."
I felt a weird surge of pride and anger surge through me at the same time. "Well, good...she needs to learn her damn place," I muttered, not sure if I should stay angry or start singing show tunes since Edward defended our relationship.
"But, if you were willing to offer me something...well, that I might just accept," Edward whispered again into my ear.
I giggled silently. "I believe I passed an extremely spacious closet on my way out here. We've become connoisseurs, have we not?"
Edward smirked. Ever since Edward started back at work 6 months ago we had become frequent guests of on call rooms and closets throughout SGH. "Oh baby, I believe we have," Edward purred.
Edward almost carried me in his haste to make it to that damn closet; I followed giggling and just as eager.
"Isabella," Edward purred as he slammed me into the wall of the closet. "Do you want me to do this? Fuck you at your twin brothers wedding reception?"
I moaned, loving when this Edward came out to play. "Yes, please Edward. I need a distraction from this day. Fuck me, Edward! Please!"
Edward smirked and ran a hand up my thigh, slowly reaching to my panty-less bottom. Edward groaned and leaned his head on my shoulder, kissing my collarbone.
"No panties, baby?"
"They only get in the way," I responded breathless.
"Damn straight they do," Edward responded, undoing his belt and shifting his pants down. "This is going to be fast and hard, Isabella...can you handle that?" A cocky smirk was on his face as he settled himself in between my shaking legs.
"Yes," I moaned. "Edward..." I sighed. I was on the verge of begging before he swiftly entered me. I gasped from the pleasure and then moaned at the same time as Edward.
"Fuck, I will never get tired of being inside of you baby," Edward moaned as he began to thrust.
I was way past forming coherent sentences, and just dug my fingers into Edward's hair massaging and scraping his scalp at the same time. I moaned when Edward growled deep in his chest and began thrusting harder.
"I saw you, baby. I saw how you couldn't watch the ceremony," Edward said breathless into my ear. "It took all of my self control to stay standing on that damn alter, I just wanted to hold you and touch you, Bella."
I moaned and mentally slapped myself.
God, why am I so selfish all the time?
"I'm going to make you feel good, baby," Edward continued as I clung onto him for dear life. "I'm going to make you shatter into ecstasy and make you forget this day. Can you do that with me, Bella?"
I nodded, not trusting my voice.
Edward began thrusting harder, telling me how much he loved me into my ear.
I could feel myself getting close, as well as Edward.
"Baby, I want you to come all over my dick. Please Bella, I need to feel you all around me. I need it...fuck...Bella, give it to me! Now!" His forceful tone sent me off the edge, him following right after me.
We stood there catching our breath, fixing our clothes, and holding onto each other for dear life.
"Marry me," Edward murmured suddenly, breaking the silence.
"What?" I whispered.
"I'm serious, Bella." Edward leaned back to look into my eyes. "I'm tired of being just girlfriend and boyfriend; I want people to know that I am never letting you go, and that you are mine! Please Bella, make me the happiest man on this goddamn green earth and agree to marry me."
Edward than proceeded to get down on one knee, grabbing my hand before pulling out a velvet box out of his pocket—smiling up at me lovingly as he did so. I couldn't help but gasp as he opened up the box. It was a beautiful ring that was simplistic, yet elegant at the same time. It was complete with a gold band, a diamond in the middle and two emeralds nestled on either side of the diamond. It was perfect.
"Isabella Marie Swan, please do me the honour of becoming my wife," Edward almost whispered, unshed tears in his eyes.
I let out a small sob and tackled him to the floor. "Yes!" I exclaimed, kissing his face. "Of course I'll marry you!"
Edward let out a boisterous laugh and slipped the beautiful ring onto my finger, he then kissed me with so much passion it almost made my head spin. "Thank you, baby," he whispered against my lips, wiping my tears away.
"Thank you," I whispered back. "Now I have something I can shove in both Tanya and Rosalie's face!" I laughed kissing him again.
I felt Edward laugh underneath me and break our kiss. "Oh no!" he exclaimed, horror evident on his face.
"What?" I grabbed his face and looked into his eyes.
"Renee is going to have a field day!" He chuckled.
I rolled my eyes and laughed with him, smiling down at my brand new fiancé and the love of my life.
Bella Swan soon-to-be-Masen: 1. Girls of the world: 0!
Well, kids...It's been fun! But...it's now done. *Tear*.
Random fact: Alice's parents are actually my Aunt and Uncle's names...they seem like Alice worthy Parents to me. haha!
Thank you all! Love you, guys! You made me want to continue this story on. IOU's to all!
I might be posting another one-shot around Christmas time, so keep an eye out for that! Don't quote me or anything—real life might just kick my ass again!
