I don't own anything related to or taken directly from Twilight. I wish! Honestly I think I am the worst person at keeping updating promises.. I am also the world's biggest procrastinator when it comes to school work (good thing I want to be a teacher).. You guys benefit (I guess we will decide that once you read this chapter) from that I guess..:) Sorry I am rambling.. HERE IS THE CHAPTER…
BPOV:
Why he came over to say that to me I will never know. Now I was just embarrassed that he heard and he didn't even deny it so it must be true. Oh God! I am such a loser!
We finally landed and I avoided Edward and Tanya at all costs. After we departed the plane I ran to catch up with Alice and Jasper and joined them in the rental car line while the others went to go get their luggage. I only packed a carry-on. Believe me, I got some death glares from a certain pixie.
Once the cars and the luggage was sorted out we all piled into three cars again and we were headed toward our hotel. Rosalie used her dad's credit card to get us into the nicest hotel in Vegas. We each had to share with someone though. Rosalie and Emmett, Alice and Jasper, Tanya and Edward, Angela and Ben, and then Jessica and myself. Great.
"OMG! Can you believe how amazing this hotel is Jasper!" Alice squealed as we pulled up to the valet.
"It is pretty amazing!" Angela agreed in awe.
We were staying a 30 story hotel (I have never been to Vegas so I have no idea if this actually exists sorry!) with a glass elevator that runs on the outside of the building so you can see the skyline and horizon. It truly was remarkable.
"Ok so here is the plan guys!" Rosalie announced when we all met up in the lobby. "It is about 3 o'clock now and the wedding is going to be at 7. I don't care what you do as long as you make it there on time and sober! Does everybody understand?" We all nod in agreement. "Alright, here are your room keys and the chapel is actually right here in the hotel. It is down that hallway 3rd door on the right. Have fun guys!" She proceeded to pass out the keys and we all dispersed to our rooms.
Jessica and I were on the 23rd floor right next to Alice and Jasper. Edward and Tanya were two floors above us and Angela and Ben were in the middle. Rosalie and Emmett were in the Honeymoon suite on the 30th floor. The room from our view was spectacular!
"You know what Jess? Looking out on the strip I really feel reborn again. This trip will be good for me. It will give me a chance to reinvent myself and get over Mike. I need to make myself more likeable and more attractive to guys. What do you think Jess?" I ask glancing over at my unusually silent roommate.
"Oh uh yeah! That is great Bella. Let me know if you need any help with that." She smiled weakly back at me and then gives me the excuse that she is going to check out the action down at the casino and leaves. Something fishy is going on with her. She has been acting weird ever since Mike and I broke up.
Feeling a quick burst of confidence I decide that I need to do some people watching to see what type of girls guys like. I head down to the lobby and find a seat on one of the leather couches situated around a fireplace. A few girls walk in with short/tight dresses on and killer heels. Every guy stops and drools over them. First step then…buy a new outfit.
I head out to the strip with the help of the hotel concierge and locate a boutique. The workers there kind of freak me out but I suck it up and pick out a few dresses to try on.
"Oh sweetheart, that dress looks hot on you!" The saleswoman slurs at me once I emerge from the dressing room. I would have been more comfortable staying in the little room with a chair but there was no mirror.
"You really think so?" I ask self-consciously. All of a sudden this was not such a good idea.
"Oh yeah! You will have every guy following you around like little puppies. Every girl for that matter." She smiles seductively at me and I know I have to get out of there. I pay for the dress and then head back out to the strip.
Walking back to the hotel I notice a beauty parlor and decide to head inside. I give the girls free-reign on my hair and make-up only telling them to make me look attractive.
I come back out with a pound of make-up on and enough hairspray in my hair I couldn't even feel a baseball hit me. I look at the clock.. it is 6:45 so I start heading back to the hotel.
When I arrive everyone stares at me and Alice screams in horror. I really didn't think it was that bad.
"Bella! What did you do to yourself?" She cried.
" I just ummmm.. I needed a change…something to make me stand out more… look let's just leave the attention and starring to the happy couple alright. Now come on! Let's get this party started!" I exclaim enthusiastically. I even get a cheer from a few of the other couples waiting for their turn.
EPOV:
After separating to go and find our rooms I head up with Tanya to the 25th floor.
"God, I just can't believe we are here! We should totally get married Edward!" Tanya suggests excitedly.
"I don't think so Tanya! I am still furious with you for what you said to Bella!" I yell back at her.
"Why do you even care? You don't even like each other and she is just some loser that can't keep her man!" She was right, nobody knew how much I cared for Bella.. nobody ever could. However, I was not going to let Tanya hurt her anymore.
"You know what Tanya we are over! I am sorry to do this right now but seriously you are just the meanest most awful person I have ever met. I think it would be best if I went to get my own room." I stated as we finally reached our floor. Tanya exited the elevator with her 4 bags of luggage and glared at me.
"You will regret this Cullen!"
After finally setting myself free from the evil witch I went back down to the lobby and got myself a new room on the 23rd floor. I headed up and took a nap until 6:30 when my alarm went off and I headed back down for the wedding. I had to explain to everyone why Tanya wasn't coming down. To say they were saddened by my break-up would be an extreme exaggeration. They were thrilled.
We were waiting on Bella to show up and I was starting to get worried when all of a sudden I hear Alice scream in horror. I look toward where she was glaring and I saw a woman wearing a skin tight dress and way too much make-up.. she may have looked beautiful to some people but I liked a more natural easy going look..kind of like…..holy crow that is Bella! What did she do to herself?
I hear Alice voice my question to Bella and I wait for her response. Her answer didn't calm me down any.. She needed to stand out more? Doesn't she know that every guy drools over her the second she walks into a room? Doesn't she know that every woman in the world pales in comparison to her beauty and personality?
I am snapped out of my thoughts by Emmett pushing me toward the alter to stand beside him as his best man. Alice and Bella are Rosalie's maids of honor.
As I watched Bella walk down the aisle I just kept thinking about how someday she would be doing this as the bride. Some lucky guy would snatch her up and she would be gone. How I longed to be that man. Sadly I knew it could never be.
I stared at her for the whole ceremony and only broke my stare when the minister said the famous line, "you may now kiss the bride!" We all cheered and hollered at them and threw rice at them as they got on the elevator to their honeymoon suite. Once the doors closed Alice and Jasper decided to head up for the night, as did Angela and Ben. Jessica never made it down to the wedding (she had called and said she was sick) so Bella went to go check on her. Me? Well, I needed a drink.
BPOV:
I had heard that Jessica was sick so I went back up to the room to check on her.
"Mike, I told you I can't come back now! It would look suspicious. Give me one more day baby! Love you too!" Jessica whispered into her phone.
"What!" I yelled as I was still standing in the doorway.
"Shoot!" Jessica jumped and looked up at me guiltily.
"So it was you! You are the one he cheated on me with! That is why you have been acting so strange!" I finally figured it out and I was embarrassed it has taken me this long. She was always eyeing him even when we were together.
"Bella I am sooo-" She started but I didn't want to hear it so I cut her off..
"Don't even start with me! I am going to go down to the lounge and when I come back you better be out of this room! Do you hear me!" My anger giving me confidence I never would have shown otherwise I stomp out of the room.
I need a drink.
Hope you all have a great holiday weekend! Update tomorrow? Please read and review! Thank you all so much for your support!
