A/N: Hm what's up with all these unknown voices? Shall we figure out?

I'll make my pleas later.

PS. SORRY FOR THE LATE UPDATE!

I apologize. I worked at a camp this weekend and didn't have time to update before I left. On top of that, my mom, brother, and dad are all sick with some stomach virus going around. I'm the only one yet to get it.


Chapter 12

Charlotte caught our intimate embrace and Edward quickly pulled away from me. She gave me a knowing look and I felt all the blood drain from my face. She nodded and stepped into the ladies bathroom.

Edward's eyes were tight. "That woman's everywhere." He diverted his eyes from mine.

I grabbed his chin turning his eyes back on me. "Edward, that's what I was trying to tell you."

He paused his eyebrows scrunching together with confusion. "Huh?"

I rolled my eyes. "Charlotte was in the park."

Edward's eyes widened. "She took you on a guilt trip?" He asked knowingly.

I nodded. "She's right though. You and Rachel have a good thing going. Don't let me ruin that."

His gaze intensified. "Don't say that. As soon as the wedding's over so are Rachel and I."

I shrugged. "Let's just go watch the show."

He nodded and stuck his hand in his pocket obviously trying to find his ticket. I pulled mine out of my purse and he pulled me toward the auditorium. We stepped in to the large room and I glanced all around me. There were rows and rows of maroon colored seats. A man was playing a grand piano up on a platform on the stage.

We came upon an older man his hair rapidly decreasing in size. He had on one of those theater vests and a flashlight to guide people along the isles. Edward handed him his ticket and he smiled.

"Are you with a group?" He asked politely.

We nodded in unison. "Okay right this way." He turned around heading toward the stage. Edward followed behind me at a respectable distance. We came to a row where everyone in our party was sitting along with another group of older people.

There were two seats on either side of Rachel free. I looked and saw that Charlotte hadn't come back yet. I looked at my ticket number and then at the seats. I should have been sitting somewhere next to Emmett. I glanced over there and saw that's where the older people started sitting.

Edward glanced at me quickly. "What's wrong?" He asked puzzled by my expression.

"I don't have a seat." I sighed in frustration.

Someone tapped me on the shoulder and I turned to see the older man who had showed us our seats. "Ma'am may I see your ticket?"

I handed it to him and he sighed. "Hold on let me talk to that gentleman there."

I nodded feeling a little aggravated. I guessed I could always take Alice's car back to the hotel. I still needed to get something together for the bachelor's party. I also needed to get working on my story.

Another tap on my shoulder brought me out of my thoughts. "Miss?" The older man acknowledged me.

"Yes?" I asked trying to seem the least bit happy.

He frowned. "It seems as if we've sold your ticket twice."

I stared at him completely dumbstruck. "Well what do you want me to do about it?" I asked my irritation seeping through little by little.

He shrugged. "We have a few seats open up front. It's would be a boost up from your ticket for free."

I frowned. "You want me to sit up there alone?" I asked ready just to demand Alice's money back.

The man shook his head. "No, you would be aloud to take someone if you wish."

Edward coughed and I snapped my head up to look at him. He grinned at me then looked away. He obviously wanted me to ask him to sit up there with him. I, for one, wasn't stupid so I did the only logical thing. I watched Charlotte coming down the isle and I turned to her. Bad Bella seemed to bust out of rehab.

"Charlotte, it seems they messed up my ticket and I just got upgraded. Why don't you and your husband take the upgrade?" Edward coughed again and I just smiled. "Come on, I can't ask Alice to leave Jasper for me."

She eyed me carefully and I handed the tickets out to her. "Why, I don't know what to say." I saw that my offer took her off guard.

"Say yes." I urged her.

She smiled. "Why, how nice of you."

I flashed my teeth at her. "Call me the tooth fairy." I grinned.

We swapped tickets and I looked at the number of people I would have to cross. Edward seemed to catch my drift and he asked Rachel to scoot down one. She complied and I plopped down next to Edward right as the lights began to dim completely out.

"That was nice." Rachel commented. It was the first thing she had said to me the whole trip.

I smiled back at her wondering if she knew Edward's hand was dangerously high up on my thigh.


"Hold still." Alice chastised me.

I sighed leaning back into the chair as Alice applied the finishing touches on my mascara. I had planned this bachelor party and I really wasn't looking forward to attending it. I wasn't supposed to be going, this was a guy thing. I was pretty sure girls weren't aloud to actually attend the bachelor's party. Jake had insisted I go though.

So now Alice was finishing my makeup and she smiled skipping out of the bathroom and coming back with my outfit. Truthfully, it could have been worse. Instead of tight mini skirt and shirt I figured she make me wear, she pulled out a simple, black, low-cut shirt. The tank top fit her well as the beaded trip fell just above her hips. Alice then handed me some skinny jeans and then instructed me that my heels were beside the bed.

I pulled on the clothes and Alice smiled at her work. She turned me so I was looking in the mirror. My hair was straightened and it cascaded down my back like a waterfall. My eyes seemed a little brighter and my cheeks were a little flushed.

I checked my phone for the time and saw that I was due to meet the driver downstairs in a couple of minutes. "Alice, I have to go."

She nodded and I grabbed for my purse before she grabbed my hand. "I suggest you don't take a purse." She offered watching me carefully.

I pondered her statement. "You're probably right." I agreed. "I don't want to put my money in my pockets though."

She nodded. "You're probably right." She paused. "Just stick it in your bra then." She must have caught my wide-eyed expression and she giggled. "I do it all the time. Don't worry."

My mouth fell open. "Ew, are you sure?"

She nodded. "Yup, Esme does it to," She smiled to herself, "not that she would tell you that."

I shook off the new information and pulled my wallet from my purse. I hastily slipped my money in my bra and shoved my phone in my pocket. I stepped into the hallway and hastily walked down the hall to the elevator. I felt pretty confident with my footing and about how the night would go.

I pressed the "L" for lobby and waited as the metal box pulled me toward the earth. Jordan, Jonathan, Edward, Jake, and a few others would be in attendance tonight. I had a big night planned for Jake. Alice and Edward had both helped a lot with the planning.

It was two days before the wedding and I found that it was supposed to be the best time to have the bachelor's party. Two days prior to the wedding allowed all the drinking the guys could do and then some time to recover before the wedding.

I stepped into the cool night and saw the black rented limo pulled up to the curb. The driver stood outside the back door and his eyes flickered to me. I smiled and approached him cautiously.

"Isabella Swan?" He asked hesitantly.

I nodded. "Yes, I assume you're the driver."

He laughed. "You assumed correct."

I nodded and he pulled a piece of paper and handed it to me. "Does this itinerary look right?" He asked awaiting approval.

I skimmed over the times and quickly nodded. "Yeah, that sounds about right."

I had kept the night mildly innocent. We weren't scheduled to go to any strip clubs due to a promise I made to Conley. She was nervous about everything, as usual, and she feared a strip club was too intense. I complied with her wishes and kept the fun almost childish.

Rowdy voice came from behind me and I twirled around to see Jake, Jordan, Jonathan, and Edward all heading in my direction. The wind whipped around me and lifted my hair from my shoulders. I had a feeling that tonight would be a night to remember.


A/N: Sorry if that sucked. Argh, I'm so tired it's not even funny. Camp was okay. My fingers are cracked from the bleach that I used to wash the dishes. Today after school the car we took to school wouldn't start so we got home later than expected. I really just want to crawl into bed and sleep…. Actually that sounds pretty good. I'm going to post this and take a shower. After my shower I'm going to crawl into bed and fall asleep. I really can't afford to get sick! :S

PS. Next chapter is going to be the bachelor's party and you're not gonna wanna miss it!
