Hey guys! Well a lot of you were asking why Edward all of a sudden took back Tanya. That's because he fell head over heels for this person and practically loved her and in return she broke his heart. Of course those feeling don't just magically disappear. He still has feelings for her, but are starting to have feelings towards Bella. Edward just wanted to see if there was still the fire and passion he felt towards Tanya before. I hope I haven't confused anyone, and if I did, I'm so sorry.

How Did I Fall in Love With You

Chapter 12

Bella's POV

I woke up to the bright sun and laid on my bed for a few more minuets. My eyes were sore from crying the previous night. A headache for no apparent reason. All in all I felt like complete crap, no worse than crap.

I jumped out of my bed sluggishly and went to the bathroom to see the damage. Well my eyes were red, like they were suffering from dryness. My hair was like a haystack that stood at least 3 inches from my head. My make up was smeared in a disgusting manner. I still had the same out fit on as yesterday. Above all, I looked all right.

I cleaned my self up before going downstairs for breakfast. Not wanting to attract attention to my now family-in-laws.

"hey you might want to have breakfast fast. I'm going to have to work on you the whole day." Alice told me gently.

Fuck. I forgot today was the wedding. Today was the day family, friends, and maybe the whole town, would see me marry Edward. Of course this was all a show for them. A show to make Carlisle look like a father figure and the Cullen's to be the ideal family .

But how can I marry the person I love who is in love with someone else? I know my heart cant bare that. It burns with a passion.

"Bella? Bella?" Alice called for my attention, while snapping her tiny fingers in front of my face.

"oh I'm sorry. Yeah, I'll eat my breakfast fast." I told her.

She just nodded and watched me prepare my meal. The Cullen kitchen was fully stocked with an extensive variety. They had everything imaginable. I bet they were better stocked then the local grocery store.

I took milk and cereal and poured it into my bowl. I chatted to Alice about unimportant things, until I saw him come in.

Alice and Edward exchanged looks and teased one another; I guess that's how they connect as a family. Or at least that's what it looks like. Edward said 'good morning' in a low tone and I said it back tonelessly. I refused to make eye contact with him so I quickly finished my breakfast and went up stairs. Alice was suddenly a few feet behind me.

I was on my way to my room when someone caught my wrist.

"Bella! You don't have time to go to your room! We only have 8 hours to make you the most beautiful bride, so I suggest we get to work pronto!" Alice yelled onto my ear.

I let out a low grunt and rolled my eyes, hoping she wouldn't notice. Its another one of Alice Cullen's famous make over's that took forever.

"hey don't roll your eyes at me missy! Now go to your room and take a shower!" she told me in a sarcastically tone.

I just smiled at her and went to my room.

The hot shower relaxed my stiff muscles and made me forget the world for a moment. I had to admit it was really relaxing and I had no wish to leave. It was like my personal heaven. Seconds, and minuets passed quickly and I knew I had to get back to reality.

I took a big deep breathe knowing that Alice would barge in at any moment claiming that I had taken too long in the shower. I tied myself with my white fluffy robe and let my dripping wet hair down.

With another long breathe, I knocked on the door and awaited my doom…

7 hours later….

Letting Alice give me a make over the second time, want as bad as the first. Maybe because I knew what to expect and that I trust that she wont go over board with the whole wedding thing.

"okay Bella. What do you think?" she said in a lovable tone.

I looked straight at the woman in the mirror. There was no way that was me. She was beautiful and I knew she would out shine everyone. Everything about her was in a perfect structure and angular.

The woman in the mirror wore a classical white strapless wedding dress with a long train in the end, that made her body look absolutely amazing. It showed that she had curves, and that she wasn't a twig. Sure it was tight on her, but it didn't look too tight that she would suffocate. Her dress was puffy in the bottom that popped out. Her dress had designs that matched her perfectly. Instead of wearing dangerous stilettos, she had on a jeweled shoes that were at least 5 inches tall. It made her legs longs and completely irresistible. It was as if this outfit was made just for her. The stranger had her chocolate brown hair wrapped in tight but soft curls that hung elegantly on her back. It had some blue sapphire clips pinned onto the side. She wore a classical veil in front of her face. Her make up was kept natural, except for the black eyeliner that outlined her eyes, mascara that made her lashes thicker and longer, white eye shadow that matched her flawlessly, a little bit of blush knowing that she didn't need a lot, and pink plumped lips that made them alluring. For accessories she had diamond earrings that complimented her face and silver bracelet on her right wrist. All in all she kind of looked like one of the brides on a bridal magazine. Everything about her was in order and nothing was a flaw or out of place.

"whoa.. Alice. Is that me?" I asked doubtfully.

"yup. that's all you." she said smiling.

Alice on the other hand, looked purely amazing in her soft pink one strap brides maid dress. She had her short hair straightened and pointing in every direction possible. She wore earrings that complimented her outfit tremendously. She had dangerous white stiletto heels on that look intimidating. For accessories she had a silver necklace and a diamond bracelet on her left wrist. To me she looked utterly magnificent. It was like she a fairly tale princess that just walked out of a story book fantasy.

"wow look at you! You look amazing!." I told her honestly.

"yeah, but no one out shines the bride today!" she sang.

I didn't respond but my cheeks flushed tomato red. Ugh I hate it when that happens. Every time I try not to show my emotion, it shows it anyway.

"Alice, its 10 minuets until the wedding starts. Are you guys ready?" Emmett asked coming into the room.

Well, since my parents didn't know about the wedding, Emmett offered to escort me down the isle instead. I didn't mind, just as long as he doesn't make me blush or laugh during the ceremony .

"yes! We are I just need to put finishing touches." with that she pulled me from the chair and into my two feet. The shoes caused me to tilt a little, but I finally got the balance. Alice all of a sudden got hold of a shimmer pink lip gloss and started to apply some to my face.

"umm.. I think I'm good Alice." I said nonchalantly.

"just a little bit more Bella." she said in a hard concentrating voice.

After a few minuets of putting on lip gloss, Alice slid down the garter on my leg. I had to admit it was really uncomfortable, but I guess since its suppose to be a 'wedding' we had to have the essentials.

"okay Bella, all you have to do is walk down the isle, repeat after the minister, and your done. Oh by the way, try not to trip, those shoes are really expensive." Alice teased.

"I'll do my best." I told her.

I heard the people coming from the bottom of us, entering and closing the door. I can tell that they were distracted by the decorations Alice picked out. My heart suddenly went wild and started to bounce off my chest. I was so nervous that I felt sweat coming.

You can do this! You can do this!

I tried to breathe through my nose and tried to lower my heart rate, but that seemed completely impossible.

The wedding bells started to cling and music started to play. There was no way to back out of this now.

"Bella you'll be all right. Besides its only Edward." she tried soothing me.

But that was the problem. This was only Edward. I finally realized that I loved this man, but he had other feelings for another woman. So that meant we can never be together.

It was obviously impossible.

"okay that's my queue to go. Try to relax please. I don't want you to sweat your face off." she told me teasingly.

"I'll try me best Alice." and with that, she was off.

Watching Alice walk out flawlessly made me envious of her. I wanted her grace and charm to how she walked perfectly down, instead of always tripping and caused an incident.

Emmett offered me his hand and I took freely. I took at least 3 more breathes before I knew I was ready.

"are you sure your ok Bellsey?" Emmett asked.

I just nodded afraid that my voice would give out too much information. I felt a rush of blood into my cheeks causing me to blush all shades of red.

"I like the blush on your face Bella." he said teasingly.

I just hit him playfully on the arm, with enough force that it would hurt.

"ouch!" Emmett whined.

"well, that's what you get!" I told him sarcastically.

"okay here we go Bells." Emmett said quietly, leading me gently to the ceremony.

Edwards POV

I walked down the isle with flawless swiftness. I wanted to get this over with. Just repeat after the minister, kiss Bella, reception, and then its over. That didn't seem like a complicated list to do.

I took my place in the right side and waited impatiently for the people to enter. Esme, my mother with my father, Carlisle entered after a few minuets after I did and took their places. My mother looked utterly amazing, in her innocent white dress that fit her shape perfectly. She matched the look with stiletto shoes that looked very uncomfortable, but yet again elegant. Carlisle, on the other hand, wore a black suit and had his hair in a proper manner.

After my parents made their entrance, Alice came to the picture. She looked beautiful in her pink one strap dress. She walked through the isle with out a slip up. Of course Alice was all about perfection, everything about her was perfect.

Then Emmett came in with Bella. Emmett looked good in the suit her picked out, but not as good as the groom.

That's when I caught a sight of Bella. She was astonishing, no she was better than that. She wore a classical white gown that had a long train in the end. Her eyes sparkled with beauty. The make up on her face matched her elegantly. Her hair had curls that flowed through her back. A veil that was place in front of her face. She took my breath away. And literally she did.

My eyes were glued to hers. She tried to hide the chocolate brown eyes that I grew fond of. I wondered why. Did I do something wrong to up set her? I had a feeling that she was avoiding me for a reason.

Emmett and Bella finally reached the altar. He let of her pale white hand and offered it to me. I took it freely and felt the electricity flow through us. It was like a static shock, but I wasn't afraid. It was an unexpected feeling that my whole body welcomed. As I took her hand gently, I noticed that she never made eye contact with me. She just looked directly at the minister and up front, but never at my eyes. She just ignored me like there was something wrong. That had me worried to what was bothering her.

The wedding started off by like any traditional wedding. The minister started off by asking if anyone had any objections, and no one in the room raised their hand. Wow, shocker. Then he started talking about how love is a powerful feeling and should only be taken seriously. Marriage is about honesty, love, and nothing about your marriage can be perfect; both of us will make innocent mistakes in life. I felt a pang of boredom hit me hard. There was nothing to do. Seriously this guy needs to shut the fuck up. He's been talking for at least an hour and no ones really listening. I took a glimpse of the audience behind us and there were also as bored as me. Fidgeting and trying to entertain themselves. I turned to my right and saw Bella's innocent face. Her perfect soft skin, her big chocolate eyes, her plumped pink lips, her brown long curled hair. She was perfect in my eyes. Not a single spot was on her face.

I could feel that she knew I was staring at her Bella tried so hard not to look at my face, she looked straight and her eyes never left.

I sighed knowing that she will never tell me what's happening in her head.

"okay if we can have the bride and groom exchange rings and say their vows for one another." the Minster said catching my attention.

I stood there looking directly at Bella. I took the family ring and took a deep breath.

"repeat after me Edward, I Edward Anthony Cullen, take you Isabella Marie Swan to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness or in health to love and to cherish from this day forward until death do we part."

I nodded and repeated after him. I didn't realize that when I was saying my vows to Bella, it sounded like I really loved her. My voice had feelings toward her and they showed nothing but complete affection. The way her name rolls on my tongue sounded natural.

I slipped the ring onto the 3 finger of her left hand.

"okay, Isabella repeat after me: I Isabella Marie Swan, take you Edward Anthony Cullen to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness or in health to love and to cherish from this day forward until death do we part."

Bella repeated after him just like I did without a slip up. She try to say her vows with as much feeling as I did but I could hear the hurt in her voice. She could have fooled the audience, but I knew her too well. She finished with out a slip up and put a golden ring on the third finger of my left hand.

"now you can kiss the bride" told us. I could hear the vanity in his voice. He was proud of his work done today.

I hesitated for a moment and so did Bella. I had no idea how to kiss her. I mean, I've kissed a girl before, but that was it. There was no spark or anything. My heart started to thud like bongos. It was not a pleasant feeling.

I leaned closer, offering the first move. She followed my lead and soon enough her soft gentle lips touched mine.

The way Bella's lips touched mine was a extraordinary feeling. Its something I couldn't describe in words. The way her lips touched mine was the best feeling ever. Our lips synergizing at the same time. The electricity went through us in an un-expecting way. I had never felt this way towards anyone before.

Bella leaned away, causing me to close my mouth. The kiss was fast and simple; but it wasn't just any kiss. We both stood there in silence, while family and guest started clap their hand in joy and happiness.

As I had the courage to ask Bella what was the matter with her, my mother caught me into her arms.

"oh Edward! Congrats!" she said pulling me into another hug.

"umm.. Thanks?" it sounded more like a question to me.

"Congratulations son." Carlisle said from behind me.

I just looked at my father. I wasn't in the mood to pretend that I liked my father. To be honest I despised him. I hated him with a passion.

I walked away hoping to find Bella, but I saw that she and Alice were in a middle of hugging and shrieking, or at least that's what Alice was doing. I sighed knowing that our 'conversation' would have to wait for another time.

Bella's POV

The way Edward kissed me was stuck in my mind the rest of the day. The way his perfect lips gently touch mine. He was so hesitant, so careful, not wanting to push thing further. When our lips were twined together sent electric sparks into my body; a feeling I had never felt before.

I pulled away knowing that he didn't belong to me. Even if this ring symbolizes that he belonged to me, he didn't.

The audience started to clap to congratulate the newly weds. I blushed red and walked towards Alice.

"congrats! Bella!" she said giving me a friendly hug.

"um… I have no idea what to say to that." I admitted honestly.

"BELLA! Congrats to marrying my idiot brother!" Emmett said pulling me off the floor and spun me around.

"Emmett please put me down! I don't want to vomit on you!" I told him.

He set me gently on my feet and made sure I had caught my balance before letting me go. Alice and Emmett chuckled in delight.

"oh well the limo's waiting for you and Alice to take you to the reception. Its time to get drunk again!" Emmett said with a booming laugh.

I little giggle I tried to hide escaped from my mouth. That was Emmett. He loves to get drunk in parties because its an 'excuse' to leave the real world for a moment and have some fun.

I walked over to the limo with Alice hoping that this would be a good distraction for me.

The reception was beautifully decorated with white and soft lavender colors. There was white tables and fancy chairs set up properly around the room. One table reserved only for the Cullen family next to the table center of the room, calling for attention. I figured that was the table Edward and I had to sit. Flowers and lit candles were on top of the table, matching the theme. Everything matched perfectly and it was flawless. My eyes were practically blinded by the perfection of this wedding.

Guests started filling into the room and soon enough it was crowded. I sat firmly into my seat and waited for this night to be over. I raised my hand and rested my chin onto it. I closed my eyes for a brief moment trying not to think and concentrating on relaxing every nerve in my body.

But that plan didn't work accordingly. My now broken heart was somehow still beating after what happened yesterday. I tried so hard to remove the memory from my mind but I remained useless.

The chair next to me moved as if someone sat down next to me. My position remained the same, as if I never heard the chair move.

"Bella? Are you alright?" Edward asked shaking me gently.

"yeah, I'm alright." I told him. I opened my eyes and looked straight forward. I made extra sure that I avoided his eyes. Usually people tend to see how there really feeling inside when they look at your eyes. I wasn't willing to let him see me like this. I had to be strong, not weak and powerless.

The rest of the night went of by a hit, or at least that's what Carlisle said. We did what any 'normal' newly weds did on their wedding reception. We ate the amazing diner that Esme and Alice pick out for us. I had to admit the pasta and the stake made a really good combination. We drank, or at least the adults drank. I had to remind myself that I was still underage, even though I'm legally married. Edward and I cut the cake, but we didn't hit each other in the face with frosting.

We remained civil during the whole night, or at least I did. He would occasionally ask me if I was alright and I would respond back with a yes or yeah. I could tell that he was getting curious to what was up with me today.

Finally it was time for the first dance. Music started to fill the air making my heart race. Not only did I suck at dancing, but this means I have to look at Edward. I managed the whole might avoiding his curious eyes.

"Can we please have the bride and groom in the dance floor for the first dance?" the announcer said.

My heart thudded so loud that I could hear it in my ears. It was racing so hard inside of me that it made me feel uncomfortable. I suddenly couldn't breathe correctly because of the nerves inside of me.

"would you like to dance?" Edward asked politely offering his hand to me.

I knew that I had no choice but to make a fool of myself in the dance floor. I knew I had to face this problem soon enough. With a big sigh I took his hand and followed him into the dance floor.

I didn't miss the fact that when our hand met and twined each other, a jolt of electricity went right through me causing my heart to pump faster and my cheeks turning bright red. It was a feeling I never felt before.

Edward placed his right hand to my waist and his left hand into mine. I lightly placed my left hand onto his shoulder. I was still trying to avoid his eyes but I knew that I had to sometime. The lyrics to the song of 'At last' began to play announcing that it was time to dance.

Edward and I gently waltz to the new found rhythm and to my surprise I wasn't that bad. The way feet was in the correct movement, caught me off guard. My face was looking down at my feet down when someone's hand lifted my face up.

"can please tell me what's wrong?" Edward asked gently.

Forcing my eyes to look at him directly. That was the first time I looked at his perfect face. The face that fit him flawlessly. The face that I fell ultimately head over heels for. His emerald green eyes were glued into mine. Looking at with curiosity and concern. I felt like he really did care about me.

"I'm fine Edward. Thanks for the concern." I told him in a toneless voice. I was afraid that he could hear the was feeling.

Before he could respond, someone tapped his shoulder.

"can I cut in? I want to make a new sister-in-law blush scarlet red." Emmett asked.

Edward nodded and let me go to Emmett. I danced with everyone in the whole room and I finally felt exhausted and tired but didn't want to go back to my deserted table. After the last song ended I asked if I could go outside for a couple of seconds to get some fresh air.

I walked quickly out of the room before anyone could follow me. I needed some time alone, just me and myself.

When I walked outside, a cold whip hit me, but I couldn't care less. My mind was tangled in different thoughts that I didn't even care that I was wearing a wedding dress showing too much skin. I continued walking in an aimless direction. I found a garden a little outside of the reception. It was small, yet simple. It had a fountain that was small, but yet elegant. Roses and mixed up flowers surrounding the garden. There was a small chair- like structure next to the fountain and sat on it.

My mind was defiantly drifting off and forgetting the world. I didn't even notice when someone's rhythmic footsteps approached me.

Obviously it was Alice. Only Alice would know where I was at this very moment.

"hey Bella, the receptions almost over. I just came by to check on you. Are you alright?" she asked worried.

"yeah, I'm okay." my voice defiantly betrayed me there. I could hear the sorrow and misery in my voice and I bet she could too.

"don't give me that bull shit Bella. I'm your best friend and now your sister-in-law. Tell me what's the matter." she demanded pulling me into a hug.

I hugged her back knowing that I would need it. I couldn't help myself anymore. Tears started to fill my eyes and fall down towards my cheeks. I had to tell Alice the truth, knowing that it would hurt her, but she would do anything in her power to help me.

"Alice, I think I'm falling in love with Edward." I admitted.

She stared at me for what it seems like a lifetime. Her forehead creased with confusion and she didn't really know what to say next. She took a deep breath and faced me with direct eyes.

"I knew I should have seen this coming." she said in a low voice.

I remained still and silent like a statue.

"Bella, I think you should take it slow with Edward. See what happens towards the both of you. He's not the best boyfriend to have, trust me."

"Alice there will never be an us between Edward and I. He got back with his ex-girlfriend he loves. There will never be an us." the thought hit me hard. My heart collapsed into a million pieces making it difficult to breathe.

"awh.. Sweetie." she just pulled me into her arms and let me cry on her shoulder.

It must have been late because Alice tapped my shoulder letting me know that we needed to get back to the party full of guests.

I took a deep breath letting all of what I felt out. I honestly felt horrible and I bet my tears ruin both my make up and dress. I tried to make myself look presentable by fixing up the damage. Alice helped me with that problem and soon enough I was picture perfect.

I let Alice lead me back to the room. I rushed over to my seat, but before I could get there Esme was right in front of me.

"Bella dear, I wanted to congratulate you. Welcome to the family, honey." she told me giving me a tight hug.

I hugged her back. Her motherly affection reminded me of how my mother was. She was a gentle and kind creature.

"thanks Esme that means a lot to me." I told her honestly.

Her eyes suddenly lit up with joy and excitement. I could see that she was really happy, not only for me but about me joining her family even though it was all fake.

Carlisle appeared behind Esme and claimed me next. She hugged me tightly in an affectionate way.

"welcome Bella." he whispered into my ear.

I pulled away and looked at him directly.

"thank you Carlisle. For everything." I said with as much happiness and joy. He helped me with family and solved all the problems I was worried about. He was truly a person I can look up to and he was like a father to me now.

"your welcome honey." he told me with Esme next to him.

They were the most generous people I know. I will be forever grateful to them.

Before I knew it the room that was full with people became almost deserted. I guess the reception came to a sudden end. I felt a pang of exhaustion and tiredness. I walked over to the table where Edward and I sat to retrieve my cell phone.

I checked the clock in my phone and it claimed that it was 2:45 in the morning. Wow! I couldn't believe that it gotten that late fast. Of course I felt the pain, but I was sure it wasn't that late.

"Bella! Bella!" Alice yelled.

I turned around and she was running towards me. Her tiny legs running in a fast pace. Her white pale arms in the air. I loved Alice. She was always the sister I wanted, but never had. She taught me about life and how to live it.

"yes Alice?" I asked as she went towards my side.

"oh are you ready to leave? Esme and Carlisle already left and went home. The car's just waiting for us." she informed me.

"okay. Lets go home I'm so tired." I told her honestly. I felt like my feet and arms were about to fall off.

She took my hand, making sure that I didn't loose balance. I sat down in the car with Alice and rested my head on the cushion.

Before I knew it, I lost conscious fast and fell swiftly to sleep.
