"A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts."
~Washington Irving
Dreamed last night about a time and place
Where from our troubles we had escapee
I held your hand then I felt complete
As you turned and said to me:
From now on, from now on we'll be
You and me, we will be
From now on, from now on we'll be
You and me, you and me, we will be
Years went by and nothing changed
The love we shared just stayed the same
As hair grew grey on top of our heads
Every night I'd quietly say:
From now on, from now on we'll be
You and me, we will be
From now on, from now on we'll be
You and me, you and me, we will be
Only a dream...
Only a dream...
Only a dream
From now on, only a dream
From now on, only a dream
From now on, only a dream
From now on, you and me, we will be
~From Now on~

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn part 1
They weren't real wolves.
They couldn't be.
I stood, gaping, not able to understand how a wolf could be so huge.
Yeah, I guess, wolves could be huge.
But that - that was not natural.
I bit my lip, looking back at the flowing music before I looked back to the dark forest, Before I turned back tot eh tent - going to where everyone else was and trying to forget what I had just seen. They were probably just the wolves around her, maybe they are the size of wolves - I have no idea.
Maybe I should ask Bella.
She just got married, you douche-wad, she doesn't want to be asked about the giant wolves hyped up on steroids.
I looked at the dancing crowd, pursing my lips as I saw Arnold Schwarzenegger heading my way - a goofy grin on his face as he grabbed my arm. "Come dance!"
Great.
Humiliation is heading my way.
He brought us to where everyone else was dancing, and was surprisingly good - I guess. I laughed as he twirled me, moving in beat with the music - still waiting for me to trip and embarrass myself further.
I was the goofiest dancer, but net to him - I at least seemed graceful.
The music came to a slow halt and I dragged myself off the floor, knowing if I had to go to a slow tempo I would kill myself. I was about to turn when I felt something.
It was weird.
It was really, really weird.
It felt as if I was being watched, yet from a small distance.
God, those Government satellites must be getting good.
"Anna?"
I turned around, looking at my Uncle and I smiled. "Yeah, Uncle Charlie?"
"Where have you been all night?"
Eves dropping on to other peoples conversation.
Chasing wolves.
You know, the normal.
I shrugged. "Just .. Observing,"
"She looks beautiful doesn't she?"
I nodded as I watched Bella lean against her new husband, my eyes transfixed on their slow moves until it was ruined by the elf girl - whom seemed to be in a stubborn hurry.
"This place is weird," I said dryly, grabbing someone else's drink and downing it.
Charlie chuckled. "You remind me too much of your mother,"
Brilliant.
Your mother is an alcoholic idiot?
"Sorry, Charlie, I just get weird at wedding's." I said, looking at the dirnk in my hand. "You know, I am a minor drinking. Can't you arrest me?"
Charlie glanced at the glass. "I can't see you drinking,"
I smiled, kissing his cheek before I went over back to my able - trying to see if I had any food that no one had eaten yet.
Nope.
I bet that fucking Mike ate all my food.
First abductors and food thieves?
What are weddings coming to?
"Dad?"
We were all waiting at the bottom of the stairs, and with the call from Bella - Charlie looked up from where were standing, hiding in a corner with me.
We were sociable people.
And, I think, because Charlie was steeling some tears.
"Oh, Dad!"
She hugged him around the waist, tears streaming again—She was crying so much tonight. It was becoming nauseating.
I got uncomfortable when people cried.
It wasn't my strong point.
"There, now. You don't want to miss your plane."
"I love you forever, Dad," I told him. "Don't forget that."
"You, too, Bells. Always have, always will." She kissed his cheek at the same time that he kissed hers.
"Call me," he said.
"Soon," She promised, her eyes averting his as if she couldn't promise any more.
What was going on with Bella?
"Go on, then," he said gruffly. "Don't want to be late."
Edward was about to lead her away before she turned to me, enveloping me in a tight hug - tears escaping her and onto my new dress.
Great.
Be compassionate!
You can talk!
No, I can't really, I'm a thought process.
I patted her, awkwardly, looking at her as she sobbed lightly. "I'm sorry," She said, obviously distraught.
My eyebrows furrowed. "Bell's, what's wrong?"
She shook her head, obviously not wanting to talk about it.
"Bella, be happy, for god's sake." I demanded, shaking her lightly.
I looked back at Edward and I bit my lip.
He looked like he was about to kill me.
"Have you seen who you just married?" I said, looking at her. "He's a fucking god. And you only have one of those. You can cry when you come back,"
She only cried harder.
"Okay, Bella, your making me feel awkward." I whispered, and she giggled lightly. "Listen, whatever your upset about - don't worry about it. Things can always get better,"
She nodded, looking back at Edward. "Are you ready?" he asked.
"I am," She said, before giving me one last hug. "Look after Charlie for me."
Everyone applauded when Edward kissed her on the doorstep. Then he rushed her to the car as the rice storm began. Most of it went wide, but someone, probably Arnold Schwarzenegger, threw with uncanny precision, and she caught a lot of the ricochets off Edward's car was decorated with more flowers that trailed in streamers along its length, and long gossamer ribbons that were tied to a dozen shoes—designer shoes that looked brand-new—dangling behind the bumper.
Edward shielded her from the rice I was throwing at his hair, just to make him slightly less perfect, while she climbed in, and then he was in and they were speeding away as she waved out the window and called "I love you" to the porch, where her families waved back.
And then she was gone.
And that's the last thing I remembered about last night.
I groaned as I clutched at my head on the couch, the sound of someone shuffling around in the kitchen alerted me to where I was and I leant back on the couch - cursing whoever allowed me to black out last night.
I had no idea what I did.
What I said.
God, I could have incriminated myself.
Please don't be in a cell.
Please don't be in a cell.
I peeled on eye open and I breathed out a sigh of relief as I saw Charlie in some boots - his face panicked and I raised an eyebrow as I swung my legs, rather painfully, off the couch and I waddled into the bathroom - slamming the door as I relieved myself.
Flushing toilet, I didn't look in the mirror to see what kind of a catastrophe I looked like, before I went out to see what had gotten Charlie so panicked.
And then I saw it.
After all my experiences with blowing things up, I had never seen anyone do something so idiotic.
Well, not since I did it, anyways.
"CHARLIE!" I screeched, hitting his hand and taking the knife that he was going to put in the toaster. "Don't ever, ever put a knife in a toaster. "
His eyebrows furrowed. "Why?"
"So you don't suffer a long and torturous electrocution." I said, reprimanding him as if a small child.
He nodded thoughtfully, muttering something underneath his breath. "I'm going to work,"
I nodded. "What about your breakfast?"
He stopped at the door, shrugging. "I'll just get something there."
He closed the door, letting the inevitable rain in and I cringed lightly - looking back to where he had just left. "Your missing out on the most important meal of the day," I muttered, sorting out the mess he had made in the kitchen.
I flipped open my scratched and cracked phone, dialling my mothers number and I waited for her voice to take over my hearing and her unbearable questions to start. "Hello?"
"Hi Mom,"
"Oh, Hi Antoinette-"
I cringed. "Mom, I am trying to at least seem like I don't have deranged parents. Can you please start calling me Anna?"
Mom sighed, begrudgingly, it seemed. "Fine. But Antoinette is a pretty name-"
"Mom, we've been over this - haven't we?" I asked, allowing a small smile to invade my lips.
I could here some rummaging in the background before she asked her first question. "How are you? Is Charlie treating you okay? How was the wedding? What did Bella wear?"
"Okay, well, I'm fine - I've got a bit of a headache and yes, Charlie is treating me great. The wedding was like any other, painful. But Mom, you should see the guy she's marrying - he seriously belongs in a magazine he is that annoyingly perfect!" I took breath, biting my lip. "And Bella wore this gorgeous silk and lace dress. I'll send you some photo's."
She sighed. "That's great, baby, but I'm so busy that I can't even keep up with so can I call you back tonight?"
I nodded. "Sure. When am I coming home?"
"Urgh, well, dad and I are going away to Vermont for the week to see Aunt Tracy so you can't come back home unsupervised." I sighed, running a hand through my hair.
Another week in forks?
How would I survive?
"And then we'll come get you and see Charlie."
I shook my head. "Mom, you let me drive up here alone!"
"And I regret that." She said. "You could have done some serious trouble! What happens if you had an accident or ran someone over?"
Too late for that one, Mom.
I sighed. "Mom-"
"If you stay here another week, I can promise you, I will pick you some of that cheesecake up from the bakery down the street."
Oh, god.
Cheesecake was my kryptonite. I really was in love with it and if I could survive on only one food, it would be cheesecake. It was just so ... Delicious.
Damn bloody cheesecake and it's perfection!
"Okay,"
I could practically see her smirking.
"Great, well, I called your Uncle last night and he said it's fine so I'll see you in a week."
And then she hung up.
Just hung up.
I looked out the window, my heart sinking in my chest.
Another week.
Oh, god.
Heres another chapter just for you guys!
YOUR ALL SO BRILLIANT!
