"I'm so nervous," I say, trying to control my breathing.
"You'll be fine, if I could do it, you can do it," Mom says rubbing inbetween my shoulders.
I stare back at myself in the mirror in my bathroom, which Alice has transformed into her make-up room for Leah and I, but mostly me. Aunt Rose apparently can do her own and doesn't want Alice to play Barbie.
"I can't believe this is happening," I say, starting to hyperventilate, "What if I stuff it up? Knowing me, I probalby wi-"
"CALM DOWN RENESMEE," I hear Jasper yell from my bedroom, where he is with Emmett, dad and Jacob. My heart flutters just thinking about him. I wonder if he's as nervous as I am.
"Sure help if you would do something about it," I mutter to myself and then feel suddenly calmer. I chuckle and shake my head slightly.
"Don't move your head," Alice snaps, retreating her hands and reaching for something on the bench.
I look in the mirror and see a girl, so totally different from whom I normally see. My Auburn hair being pulled in different directions and my eyelids being covered in a fine coloured powder.
"Are you sure I'm not done? I don't look anything like myself," I say, she sighs frustratingly.
"No I'm not finished. Unless you want to walk down the isle with your hair half done? I've nearly finished braiding it, wait," I look and realise,
"I would of-" I start to say, I would of liked to have it in a half ponytail so my curls just hung, but mom shoots me a glance and I stop.
"Would of what?" Aunt Alice spits,
"Umm nothing," I say, "Keep braiding, we're going to keep everyone waiting," I add as a cover.
"The wedding doesn't start for another half hour, trust me, you'll be finished. Just tell me. I promise I won't get annoyed," She says and I stare into her golden eyes.
We hear a knock on the door and mom has it open within the second. Alice just keeps braiding my hair.
I look through the mirror to see who my visitors are and am very relieved when I find its Rosalie with Layla, I'm so thankful for the distraction so Alice won't keep on my back about my hair.
"Mommy!" She says running to me and jumping into my arms.
"Hey beautiful," I say kissing her cheek. "You ready to get your hair done?" I say and she giggles nodding her head,
"You look pretty momma," She says playing with a loose curl around her finger,
"Thank you, not as pretty as you will be though! You'll steal my spotlight," I say and she laughs. I notice that everyone is listening and watching us so I put Layla on the chair next to me and Alice starts on her hair.
"Not to much make-up, none at all even, just a bit of lip gloss," I say to Alice and Layla pouts looking at my eyes, "and maybe a little bit of eye shadow," I say and wink at her causing her to smile.
"How much longer?" I ask mom, my heart racing again.
"Not long," She says, "Jacob and everyone else in the other room have gone out,"
My heart races even faster. I'm probably going to die by the time I get up there, "But how long," I complain,
"10 minutes," She says and now I'm 100 times more nervous than I was before. Another knock and the door opens. It's Sunny and Nan looking stunning.
"Hey guys," I say and get up.
"You're not in your dress yet!!!" Nan shrieks, gesturing to the white garment bag hanging up on the door frame.
