《Control [Carlisle Cullen]》0.1
Advertisement
The sun warmed up Eleanor's pale skin as she walked down the sidewalk with Jessica and Angela. It had been two months since the events in Seattle and Eleanor was officially a college student.
She attended the University of Seattle with her two best friends, and was now majoring in psychology. Eleanor shared at room with Jess and Angela throughout the week, but on weekends she left them to go to Forks.
It was still a little tense between Jess and Eleanor at times. Jessica was wary of dropping things around her twin, in fear of Eleanor revealing her abilities to Angela. It wasn't that Jess was scared of Eleanor, she had just never experienced anything supernatural.
Bella and Edward would be getting married on Sunday, the thirteenth of August. She didn't ask anyone to be in her wedding. Bella just wanted her and Edward standing.
Alice had told the girls that she wanted everyone to wear some sort of purple dress for the wedding. Of course she wanted everyone to match.
"Is Bella pregnant?" Jess turned to Eleanor, abruptly.
"What?" She frowned, taken aback from her question.
"Why else would she be getting married at eighteen?" Jessica laughed, thinking it was obvious.
"Maybe they didn't want to wait," Angela jumped in.
"They didn't. They both wanted to get married right away," Eleanor averted her eyes, thinking about what would happen after Bella and Edward got married. Bella would be turned into a vampire.
"Are you leaving tonight, El?" Angela changed the subject.
"Yeah, I'm getting ready to," her bag was already in her car.
"We can walk you to your car if you want," she offered.
"I can manage," Eleanor smiled, "I'll see you guys Sunday."
"God, Bella. You suck at walking," Eleanor stood back with her arms crossed as she watched Bella attempt to walk in heels.
Bella shot her a dirty look, then turned to Alice with a helpless look.
"You just have to break them in," Alice tried.
"I've been breaking them in. For three days." Bella was annoyed, "can I just go barefoot?"
"Absolutely not," Alice shook her head.
"I'm just thinking it's a little much, you know? The dress, the shoes, and all of this," Bella looked over to the venue.
It was pretty, Eleanor thought. The altar was beautifully decorated; small white flowers were twisted in between the pieces of wood. The same white flowers hung from the tree branches, dangling down in long strands.
"It's exactly enough," Alice disagreed, "tomorrow will be perfect."
"Where do you want this boss?" Emmett walked by the balcony, carrying a large log.
"On either side of the aisle," Alice instructed.
"What aisle?" Rosalie followed behind Emmett.
"Does no one have vision?" Alice snapped, causing Eleanor to jump. She walked away from the two girls, showing the vampires where to put the seats.
"She is not planning my wedding," Eleanor told Bella, winking at Carlisle who had walked by.

"Speaking of," Bella smirked, "when's that happening?"
Eleanor shrugged, blushing, "up to Carlisle."
Bella smiled, shaking her head. Alice appeared in front of her, "you, go home and get lots of beauty sleep. That's an order."
"Okay," Bella breathed. She waved goodbye to Eleanor and walked back into the house.
Eleanor walked down the stairs, meeting Carlisle in the middle of the aisle. He leaned down to kiss her, before pulling away and tucking a piece of hair behind her ear.
"Are you going to the bachelor party?" She asked.
He nodded, and she raised a brow, "where are you going?"
"Couldn't tell you," Carlisle smiled, "Emmett and Jasper planned it all."
"Oh God," she laughed, "as long as there's no strippers."
Carlisle chuckled, "no strippers."
"Good," she kissed him again, "I've got some stuff to help Alice with. Have fun tonight."
"Has Bella heard from Jake?"
Jacob had disappeared the day he got the invitation for their wedding. Eleanor knew he wasn't going to take it well- the boy was in love with Bella.
"Nope," Alice sighed, "I really hope he shows up."
"Me too," El bit her lip.
She glanced at her phone, checking the time. It was nearly noon, and Bella had yet to show up at the house. Alice was getting impatient, so Eleanor had been sent to calm her down.
"Oh, my God," Alice whispered, and Eleanor looked in her direction.
Her mouth dropped open, "Bella, what happened to you?"
She looked terrible. Her skin was paler than normal, and her eyes were adorned with bags. Bella sat down in the chair Alice had pulled out for her.
"What did I say about beauty sleep?" She asked, grabbing her makeup and beginning to apply it to Bella.
"Sorry, bad dream. Wedding jitters," she sounded exhausted.
A knock sounded on the door, "can I help? I can do her hair."
Eleanor smiled at Rosalie, and moved aside to let her help. Eleanor sat down beside Bella, grabbing an eye shadow brush and lightly applied her makeup.
"Weddings!" Alice grabbed Eleanor's free hand, "they bring everyone together!"
"Can you put your mascara on?" Eleanor asked, holding out the tube.
Bella nodded, and Eleanor stood up. She walked to the closet to grab her dress. The witch changed quickly, and stood in front of the mirror to look herself over. The dress was beautiful; a simple lilac color with short sleeves and stopped just short of her knee cap. It wasn't a tight dress, but it showed her off in appropriate places. Alice had picked a good one.
She brushed her wavy, brown hair away from her face and checked her makeup one last time.
"Alice? Bella?" Eleanor heard Renee call from outside the door, and moved to go and open it. She hadn't seen the woman since Phoenix.
"Oh, my gosh!" Renee covered her mouth, looking over her daughter, "you look beautiful!"

Renee sniffed, reaching up to dab at her eyes, "crap my mascara!"
Alice grabbed a tissue, and handed it to Bella's mother. Bella and Eleanor smiled at each, and El squeezed her friend's hand.
"Charlie get in here!"
The door moved open, and Charlie poked his head in, "you sure? I don't wanna..."
Bella covered her mouth, giggling at how her father was dressed, "I know. I look hot."
The girls laughed, watching the encounter between Bella and her parents. Tears pricked the back of Eleanor's eyes. She couldn't help but think about when her and Carlisle would be married.
It wouldn't be her mother and father, it would just be her mom and Jess. She wouldn't have a dad to walk her down the aisle. Eleanor took a deep breath, and blinked her tears away. It was Bella's day, and she wasn't going to be sad.
Charlie reached into his pocket, pulling out a box and presenting it to Bella. She took it, looking confused.
"We thought you needed something blue," Renee explained.
"And old - other than your mother," Charlie added, and Renee slapped him with a scoff.
Bella opened the box, and smiled. Eleanor peeked over her shoulder, eyeing the hair piece they had given her.
"It was Grandma Swan's," Charlie said.
"But we added the sapphires," Renee pointed towards them.
"It's beautiful. Thank you guys," Bella handed it to Eleanor, who gently added it to her hair.
"It's your first family heirloom," Bella's mom cleared her throat, growing emotional, "pass it on to your daughter, and her daughter."
Eleanor, Rose and Alice shared looks. Bella would never have children.
"Mom, I love it," she moved in for a hug, but Alice quickly stepped in between them.
"No smudging my masterpiece," she teased.
"Ah, right," Renee grabbed Bella's hand instead.
"Okay! Time for the dress!" Alice clapped, "do you want to see it?"
"Excuse me," Eleanor moved past everyone in the room. She jogged down the stairs, praying she didn't trip in her heels. Eleanor's friends stood by the stairs, getting ready to head outside, "hey!"
Jess turned around, smiling when she saw Eleanor, "hey!"
They hugged briefly, "you look great!"
"Thanks," El giggled, "you all look fantastic."
"Are you sitting with us?" Mike asked.
"No," Eleanor looked at Jess, who smirked, "I'm sitting with the Cullens."
"Why?" Eric asked.
"Um, Bella wanted me to sit in the front row," she lied, "I'll see you guys out there."
Jess grabbed Eleanor's hand, pulling her back, "are you ever going to tell them?"
"I'm sure they'll find out by the end of the night," she said. Her eyes met Carlisle's who was standing behind Jess, "speaking of, I'm gonna go."
She left her twin and walked over to Carlisle, who looked over her, "you look stunning."
"You don't look too bad yourself," she smiled, grabbing his purple tie and adjusting it.
"Ready to sit?" He asked, holding out his arm.
She took it, and nodded. The two began to walk outside, but Eleanor stopped before they walked down the aisle. She looked over at her friends, who were talking amongst themselves.
"Jess is the only one that knows," she told him.
Carlisle chuckled, "didn't you tell Jess that they were going to find out by the end of the night? Let's just get it over with."
"Fine," she rolled her eyes. A pit of nerves grew in her stomach as the two walked down the aisle. She kept her eyes straight, making sure not to focus on the group.
"Just think, El," Carlisle whispered, "we're going to be doing this soon, and your friends will be coming to our wedding."
She blushed, glancing up at him, "soon, eh?"
He only winked, and let go of her as the two sat down. El let out a deep breath, feeling slightly better. However she could feel their stares on her back, and she fought to not look back.
A wave of calmness washed over her, and she shot Jasper a thankful stare. He only nodded at her, then focused his attention forward. Alice and Rosalie walked down the aisle together, and quickly sat down in their seats.
"How is she?" Eleanor asked, leaning forward.
"Nervous," Rose said.
Eleanor and Carlisle shared a look, and he grabbed her hand. Eleanor's head moved to the left, and she watched as Edward and the priest took their places at the altar.
Music began playing, and Eleanor stood up along with the other guests. Bella looked beautiful. Eleanor was just now seeing Bella in her dress, and she was blown away. The white lace dress looked stunning on Bella, and hugged her everywhere.
Her eyes were locked with Edward's, paying no attention to anyone else.
A soft smile laid on El's face as she watched Charlie give away his daughter. The priest instructed everyone to sit, and he opened the Bible.
"Ladies and gentlemen," he started, "we are gathered here on this glorious day to witness the union of Edward Cullen, and Bella Swan. Repeat after me."
"I, Edward Cullen, take you Bella Swan to have and to hold," Edward said, "for better or for worse..."
Carlisle looked down at Eleanor as Edward and Bella repeated their vows. She was staring straight at the couple. Her eyes shined with happiness for the newly weds. Her brown hair framed her face perfectly, and her skin was clear of any blemish. She looked radiant.
He couldn't wait to marry the girl. He didn't care how long he had to wait as long as the two were married in the end.
Edward pulled Bella into a kiss, and the wedding guests began to clap. Eleanor stood, clapping wildly for her friends. She was elated.
Her and Carlisle followed Bella and Edward down the aisle as the guests headed to the reception. This time she didn't care about the curious stares of Mike, Eric and Angela. Nothing was going to ruin her mood now.
