Weeks had passed and I finally settled into a schedule. I'd be by myself pretty much all day. Charlie would be at work or at Billy's or Sue's, and Bella would be at Edward's house all the time. He'd gotten her a new car, so in exchange, I'd received her old car; a really, really ancient truck in perfect working condition, to replace my shitty Honda Elantra from too long ago. She'd seen her better days, and the trip up here was the nail in the coffin.

My schedule went as followed: I'd get up, eat a granola bar and go running around town and through a park. It was usually two miles, which was as much as I could do without going into the woods, (which Charlie profusely advised against.), then I'd come home, shower, and sit in bed or at my desk and write. I'm a freelance writer. That meant if people from blogs, newspapers, magazines, and what have you, needed an extra article or two, they'd contact people like me. I'd write them the article they wanted, and then they'd pay me, and we'd be good. No strings attached. The pay was pretty good; I could usually get a hundred or more, depending on the article and who it was for. I really loved it.

From there, I'd get a text from Bella reminding me to eat. Sometimes I went to the Cullen's and ate with them, sometimes I made something; it just depended on the day. Then I'd come home and lounge before sleeping for a solid 12 hours before waking up and doing it all over again.

Today was different, though. I told everyone that I normally worked for, I was taking off for a few days because of my sisters wedding, and then I went to the Cullen's to get fitted for my bridesmaid dress. Lovely.

Alice danced around me for a full hour, pulling, tucking and hemming the lilac dress before she stepped back and admired her work, "It's perfect! You look gorgeous!"

"Thanks, Alice."

"The wedding is tomorrow, and we have so much to do yet."

"Do you want me to help?"

"No, no, you just go home and get your beauty sleep." I laughed at my friend, taking her hand as she helped me step off the stand. I let her help me get my dress off, and changed back into my sweatpants and t-shirt. I left my shoes off and padded downstairs, sneaking up behind Emmett and jumping on his back, "Aha! I got you!" I shouted at him, wrapping my legs around his waist as he caught me, holding me securely. "Alright. Let's go." I told him, making him parade around with me on his back. Every family member that saw us laughed.

I slept over at the Cullen's that night. I was woken up early by Alice, and I jumped into the shower while her and Rosalie got ready together with Bella in the other shower.

Once I was done, I got out and let Rosalie help me into my dress while Alice helped Bella. The two sat us down in front of a vanity and set to work. Rosalie used a two inch barrel curling iron to add a Vogue status fashion to me, stating it would also help contain my natural corkscrew curls. She also mentioned it would make me look more like Megan Fox, and less like Hermione Granger. She placed a few purple and white flowers into my hair before she sprayed it well with hairspray, depleting half of the ozone layer in the process. Then began with my makeup. She added a light foundation and some color correcting concealer under my eyes, then she contoured a bit, highlighted, added blush, and bam! I had cheekbones. She didn't put any eyeshadow on, settling with a winged eyeliner and light mascara. She finished it off with some setting spray, and I put my heels on, turning to give Bella some company while Alice fussed over her.

I was the flower girl, in case anyone was wondering, and I was going to walking with Seth as if we both weren't teenagers. I turned quickly when I heard mom and Charlie coming upstairs. Mom walked right in, but Charlie hesitated by the door, waiting for the all clear to step in. Alice presented Bella with Grandma Swan's hairpiece, comb thing, after fussing over me and crying before moving on to Bella.

Rosalie came out of her room with a jewelry box and presented it to me. Inside was a dainty necklace that had a fire Opal pendant on it.

"Rose!" I nearly shrieked. "This is so cool! Thank you!" I shouted as she put it on me, smiling and accepting my grateful hug, holding me to her tightly and rubbing my back.

"Thank you for making me feel important again." Rose told me, pulling back and dabbing under her eyes.

"What are you talking about? Of course you're important!"

"You have no idea, Anja," she told me, brushing my hair down gently. At that point Alice clapped her hands excitedly, sending everyone downstairs, Emmett coming up and grabbing me around the waist and throwing me over his shoulder.

"Watch her hair and makeup, you idiot! If I see so much as a hair out of place I'm going to rip you limb from limb," Alice shouted at Emmett when we reached the bottom stairs and she set me down gently.

Seth Clearwater was waiting for me at the door. Before we set down the aisle, I turned and gave my sister one last look. I was not able to stop myself from rushing over to hug her tightly and quickly, "I love you so much and I'm so happy for you," I told her, discreetly fixing her veil for Alice who gave me a thumbs up behind her back.

"I love you too, Anja, but you better stop touching my veil." Everyone laugh and I pulled back, kissing her cheek before walking over to Seth, Alice coming up behind.

"Remember, 3 seconds and step. Smiles, okay?" I nodded as she went back to stand with Jasper, the music starting up as well as my heartbeat. Seth held his arm out, letting me link mine through his.

"Alright, guys," Alice directed from behind us.

"Don't let me fall, Clearwater," I scolded gently as we stepped out, the entire yard catching the attention of us and smiling.

"I won't. I promise."

"Jesus Christ, this is nerve-wracking." I mumbled to him as I smiled for the crowd.

"That's weddings, An."

"Well remind me not to let Alice plan mine. I don't even know half of these people."

"Maybe they're Edward's side of the family." I shrugged, catching Edward's eye. I found out a few weeks ago he was a master lip reader and it took everything in me not to laugh when he gave me a wink and a thumbs up.

I returned the thumbs up, suddenly grinning more than I had been as we reached the end of the aisle, Seth going to stand next to Edward as I went and took my place next to where Bella would be.

The wedding passed and the reception started before I knew it. I found myself sitting at a table with Edward, Bella, Alice, Jasper, Emmett and Rose. Alice all of the sudden got this weird look on her face, Jasper coming to her aid as the rest of us dutifully looked away. Alice got like this when she got stressed. It only concerned me when Edward ducked his head down to whisper something to Bella, her eyes locked firmly on mine. They never told me what was going on.

The MC announced a father daughter dance that Bella stood and joined Charlie. Soon enough it was over and Edward danced with Esme and the everyone was let loose on the dance floor, Emmett pulling me with him as the two of us thrashed around and laughed. He stopped after a few songs, patting my heart down in some places and then grabbed my hand, bringing me over to a secluded part of the reception, only to find Bella, Edward, and some random guy. I turned my eyes to my feet now, watching where I was going, but knowing full well the Emmett had me covered.

We stopped by them and I looked up, my eyes locking with the guy and it suddenly felt like I was being punched it the stomach. The world seemed to stand still around us, all of the air escaping my lungs as I stared into his black eyes and felt an overwhelming urge to do anything for him. To be anything for him. We stared at each other for what seemed like hours before Bella spoke, "Anja, you remember Jacob Black."

"Um. Yeah, yeah kinda."

"I…I have to go," Jacob muttered quickly, turning on his heel and disappearing into the woods. A wave a nausea washed over me when Emmett grabbed onto my waist to steady me, an audible growl sounding from the woods.

"Was that a wolf?" I asked Emmett as he led me away from the treeline, turning to find Bella and Edward facing the woods, Edward's stance predatory and cautious, Bella angled slightly behind him.

"Yeah. You find them every once in a while. They won't ever hurt anyone, they're just a pain in the ass."

"Oh," I nodded, letting him ease me into a chair, Alice coming over with a Champagne flute for me, explaining that it was ginger ale and setting it in front of me.

Alice pulled Emmett into a group of all the Cullen's, Bella included gathered around one another and spoke quickly in hushed tones, looking my direction every few seconds. They broke apart then, Rosalie coming over to sit next to me, a comforting hand was placed on my knee.

"We got your father and Sue a gift. We're sending them on a fishing trip. We don't want you to be completely alone so someone is going to come check on you a couple times a day."

"For how long?"

"Three weeks, darling," Rosalie told me. I nodded to her and myself. Three weeks of solitude. Lovely.

ROSALIE'S P.O.V.

That stupid dog imprinted on our little Anja and he was denying it. Alice told us it was a good thing we'd gotten Charlie the fishing trip because it'd prevent him from asking questions. She had a vision showing her Anja would be sick until Jacob came to his senses and accepted it. Alice's visions were patchy, but she knew Anja was going to be imprinted on, and she knew that she was going to be sick. It was our job to take care of her now.

I glanced over at the petite girl beside me, a grimace of pain flashing across her face as her hand went to her head. God I hoped that stupid dog would stop fooling around. Anja had gotten sick, a negative reaction to Jacob just up and leaving.

She vomited profusely, tossed and turned, complained about chest pain and moaned about headaches. Towards the early hours of the morning Emmett and I decided to check her temperature, alarmed to find she'd developed a high fever.

We called Sam right away.

Chapter Two is complete!

As usual; I don't own Twilight (sadly).

You'll notice some things in the story differ from what is in the novels and that's just because I wanted to put my own spin on things. Kind of make this my own, rather than just copying the books/movies and adding my own character (not that there's anything wrong with that, of course).

I hope you all enjoyed in, nonetheless and I'm so excited for you to see next weeks chapter!
