“Wake up, honey.”

The bright light outside the window was an unwelcome reminder that I was in Florida. My mom had tried to make my 2 days here nice, but I was still mad at Edward for making me come.

Today, my mom, Phil, and I would fly back to Forks and prepare for tomorrow’s wedding.

I couldn’t wait.

I jumped out of bed and ran to the closet to get dressed. In all my excitement, I tripped and hit my head against the wall.

Other than my head ache, the rest of the day, and the flight went well. I was tucked in bed at Charlie’s house by nightfall in Forks.

Renee flicked off the lights in my room and closed my door on her way out. Seconds later, I felt cold hands gently shake my shoulder.

“Are you awake?” I heard Alice’s musical voice whisper.

“Of course!” I sat up quickly, excited to see Alice again. “Where’s Edward?”

“He’s off hunting. After all, it’s bad luck for the groom to see the bride before the wedding. I just came by to give you some news.”

Alice, who was smiling up until now, put on a disgusted face. I was already ancious about the wedding tomorrow, and excitement over news wasn’t helping one bit.

“Jacob is back and…” Alice’s face turned sorry. “…and Edward sent me here to –“

“That stupid, overprotective vampire!” I practically shouted. He had sent Alice to protect me from Jacob, my friend.

Alice opened her mouth to respond, but shut it and seemed to change her mind as to what to say. “Also, Bella, the wedding is going to be postponed.”

My heart fell. I had prepared myself to be married tomorrow. Every bit of me was convinced this marriage was the absolute best decision, and now, the night before, I find out my wedding is postponed.

A groan escaped my mouth and I buried my face into my pillow. I would’ve asked why, but I didn’t have to strength to bother. Alice would be attacked with questions tomorrow, I just hoped she had told everyone of the postponement.
