18. Push Fast-Forward to the Wedding

The days passed like seconds, the semester finals were coming up and a week later my wedding. My friends were too busy to even notice me the last few days. All they were focused on was to get their late work in, and study as much as possible to pass their tests.

My afternoons were the same. I practiced just to keep up with my improved ability the focus was to be able to choose to who show my memories. These lessons were usually interrupted by my aunts who were figuring out who to invite.

Leah and Embry were both annoyed, and patient until it got to the part that they came in every five minutes to ask about the arrangements of the tables. My practice ended in a discussion that I ended that by running towards La Push to find Jacob.

"Ness wait up!" Leah yelled after me.

I pushed myself forward, moving faster. The trees became a blur, but I could make out the shapes of big wolves running next to me. Embry and Leah were the ones with me.

We all ran to the little red house. It seemed deserted, but I walked to the front door. Leah and Embry left me to go change.

I knocked on the door, and to my surprise a lot of yelling came out of the house. Emily had opened the door, and just like me was curious to find out what we were doing here.

"Renesmee it's nice to see you again."

"Yeah nice to see you too. What's with all the commotion?" I answered.

"Rachel's wedding's this weekend, and we're finalizing stuff."

"This weekend?"

"We were just about to call you, so you can try on your bridesmaid dress, but as you can see we got busy." Emily explained.

"Yeah, I can see that."

"Nessie you're here!" Claire came to me and gave me a hug.

"Yeah, I would have been here sooner if someone called."

"I told Em and Rachel, but they ignored me and put my dress on."

She twirled showing me the coral colored dress.

"It's pretty, you look very nice."

"Want to try yours on?"

"Sure."

Claire grabbed my hand and led me to Jacob's room.

Sure enough there was the coral dress that belonged to me. On my way Kim waved to me, and directed me to try on the dress. There were also other girls with the dresses while others finished center pieces and decorations. Sue was also here, but didn't acknowledge me because all she did was give out orders to people.

"I'll wait outside." Claire walked out shutting the door behind her.

I undressed and put on the coral fabric. The dress adjusted comfortable on my body. It was simple with some ruffles. Rachel was definitely making sure that it was her who stood out at her wedding.

There was a knock on the door interrupting my gaze on the mirror.

"Come in." I yelled.

"Renesmee you look so pretty!" Leah walked in.

"Thanks, but don't say that, Rachel might get mad." I warned.

She shut the door. "There's no way she's going to stand out if you're there."

"That's not really nice."

"Never said I was."

"True, but you can't be mean to my sister-in-law."
