"Oh shit!" I cursed as I stumbled over in my heels grabbing on to Rosalie's shoulder to stabilise myself as we stood in her room. "I don't think I can wear heels this big" I said as I turned to her. "I did warn Alice that you wouldn't like them but she insisted" Rosalie replied and I shook my head as I gave a laugh.

"You have improved though. At the start of this week could could barely stand in them but now you can take 4 steps" Rosalie joked and I laughed as I sat down taking them off. I placed the heels beside me as I quickly massaged my big toes. "Don't worry. At reception I'll give you a slightly lower pair of heels" Rosalie said and I nodded.

"I just can't believe the day is almost here" I said as I looked out the window to see the family moving everything in place. "Well you only got engaged 2 months ago. Alice was so happy to have a double wedding" Rosalie said as she stood beside me. "I know. I think she invited all of Forks" I joked and Rosalie cracked a smile.

"Are you nervous?" Rosalie asked as she turned to me and I shrugged. "Kind of. More so that I'll fall on my face walking down the aisle" I replied. "Carlisle won't let you fall" She said and I nodded. "Did you end up inviting your real dad?" Rosalie asked and I nodded. "Yeah. I wasn't going to but then I thought about what my mom would've said so I did" I replied.

"Is he ok with Carlisle walking you down the aisle?" Rosalie said and I snorted. "He wouldn't really have a say in it to be honest. He's lucky I even invited him" I replied and she nodded. I checked my phone and saw it was 4:30 PM. "I should probably head home. I have some packing I need to finish up" I said and Rosalie nodded.

"I'll see you in the morning. Make sure you have an early night sleep, you don't want any bags under your eyes" Rosalie said and I nodded as I smiled. I gave her a hug before I left her room. I let out a sigh as I walked downstairs to my car and climbed in starting it up. I pulled out of the Cullen's driveway and began driving away.

I decided to head to First Beach on the way home to clear my head. After 20 minutes, I arrived and parked my car. I climbed out and shoved my hands in the pockets of my jacket before walking up to the top of the cliff. Once at the top I walked towards the edge and sat down crossing my legs.

"Hey mom" I said as I looked up at the grey sky. "So tomorrow's the big day. The day I become Mrs Cullen. I still can't believe I'm 18 and about to get married. It seems so surreal you know. Sometimes I pinch myself to make sure it isn't all a dream. Alice has planned this huge wedding with like over 100 guests. I've invited your closest friends. Malinda, Courtney, Candice and your best friend Andrea. It's the closest thing I'll have to you there I guess. You missed the biggest year of my life. My 18th birthday, my graduation, my engagement and now my wedding. I wish it was YOU who was giving me away. I made Alice leave an empty chair right in the front row just for you. And at the bridal table I left a place for you beside me" I said before I began to sob.

I covered my eyes as I cried. "It still kills me that you're gone! It feels like just yesterday you were here!I would give up anything and everything just to have you here with me for just this one day. You would be able to meet Emmett, see me all grown up and be there on my special day right there beside me like it was supposed to be. But I know you're always here with me. Right here" I said as I placed my hand over my locket that held my moms ashes.

After a few moments I collected myself and headed back down to my car. I climbed in and began to head back home. After a few minutes I arrived and pulled my car into the driveway before climbing out. I walked into the house and shut the door behind me as I took of my jacket. "Hey Malory" Craig said from the kitchen.

"Hey Craig" I said giving him a smile before heading up the stairs to my room. I closed the door behind me and let out a sigh as I looked at all my packed boxes that lay scattered around my room. I walked over to my dresser and emptied the last of my clothes placing them in my last box before taping it shut.

I changed into my pyjamas and felt a rush of wind before I felt Emmett's hands go on my waist. I smiled as I turned in his arms. "You know it's bad luck to see the bride the night before the wedding right?" I said as I wrapped my arms around his neck. "Well I don't care" Emmett said and I giggled.

"I'm on my way to my bachelor night but I wanted to see you first" Emmett said and I arched my eyebrow. "Bachelor night hey? Should there be any vampire strippers that I need to be worried about?" I said and Emmett gave a laugh. "No. But you might be in competition with a few mountain lions or maybe some bears" Emmett replied and I smiled.

"Well, go and have fun" I said as I pushed him away and he chuckled. "Not even a kiss goodbye?" Emmett said and I rolled my eyes before walking over and briefly pressing my lips to his before pulling away causing him to pull a frowny face. "Can't I get a little more then a peck?" He whined and I giggled as I shook my head.

"Nope. You're just going to have to wait until the honey moon" I said and he smirked. "Oh don't you worry about that" Emmett replied as he winked before he disappeared from my window cil. I walked over and watched as he laughed with his brothers before they disappeared into the woods. I smiled and closed my window locking it before I walked over to my bed.

I climbed in under the covers and turned off my lamp before lying down on my pillow drifting to sleep.
