A/N

This is my first chapter with a different ending. I have more chapters written up for this ending also. I wanted to do things a little different after I wrote this chapter the first time.

So PLEASE re-read this and I will have a new chapter up in the next 2 or 3 days!

Also,

I do not own any of the characters as I am not Charlaine Harris.

Many things were running through my mind as my brother Jason walked me down the aisle on that beautiful Saturday afternoon. And the only person that should of been on my mind was Bill the man I thought I loved. Who, might I add, was waiting for me at the alter. All eyes were on me in my white dress and my sky-high heels. This is not what I wanted I realized, maybe just a tad to late... Or so I thought. As I was thinking that, the church door flew open and in walked the man I was madly in love with.

My brother said "Who is that Sook," after I murmured "Oh, Hell," looking into my brothers confused eyes with my own wide eyes. I was shocked, I was halfway down the aisle to marry. To become Mrs. William Compton. This was crazy!

~~~~~4 years prior*How I met Bill~~~~~

Sookie Stackhouse, yup, that's me. Blonde, blue eyed, 5'5, busty, tan, and according to my fiance, curvy in all the right places. From small town Bon Temps, Louisiana. Born and raised, I'm 27 years old.

My parents died when I was a mere 7 years old. My brother Jason was 10. So my Gran took us in when they passed away. God rest her soul.

Bill Compton, my love interest for the past 4 years, ever since he came down from the big city. Bill is very smooth. Calm and cool. Dark hair, tall, lean. All together a wonderful man.

It was what I would call love at first sight. Or so I thought. Until I met someone else, who would change my life drastically.

What a mess.

Bill and I met through mutual friends on a Saturday night at Merlotte's. My High School friend Tara dragged me to our best friend Sam Merlotte's bar. Where I worked at from age 18 until I was 23. All through , college, I was determined not to be like a lot of the folks around here and have a good education. I struggled keeping up with the tuition, but, I made it to graduation day and came out with my Diploma in hand. So, graduation night I was dragged to the bar were I would be putting in my 2 weeks to pursue my dream. Sitting at the table with Sam and some other close friends would be Bill Compton.

Sam met Bill at a club in New Orleans and they became friends. Sam propositioned Bill with the bartender position at Merlotte's. Bill took the offer while going to school himself to become a doctor. He had only two years left.

The first night we meet I have to admit I fell in love with the guys charm. He was different from the guys I had dated in the past. Though, that's not saying much! After that night we went out on many dates. Bill was always a gentlemen, bringing me flowers before dates, walking me to the door of my house after dates. That went on for about 5 months. Bill asked me to be his girlfriend on Valentines day and that summer we moved into his house in Bon Temps.

~~~~~~1 year prior to wedding~~~~~~~~~

Bill finished school and worked at the local hospital for about a year before he got a offer at the Shreveport Hospital. Not that far from Bon Temps. He took the offer, and we decided to have a house built in a nice suburban neighborhood only half a mile away from the hospital.

By the time the house was finished I had bought a office for my business. I owned a wedding planning business. I was a wedding planner. And i loved it. One of my good friends, Pam, had helped me make my wish come true. Hers too. She became a wedding planner also. So she worked with me and it seemed that the pieces was falling in the right places.

Bill and I fell into a routine. We would leave for work, parting at the house, sometimes meet for lunch, if he could get away from the hospital. I usually got home first, sometimes he did, the first one home would cook dinner the last one home did dishes. It was easy to live this way. This was every woman's dream. Living in a nice house, owning her own business, and a handsome doctor for a husband.

The Monday after Valentines day was always the busiest time for Stackhouse Weddings. (the name of my business) Men seemed to always propose then and that's when we got all the business. So I came in for my usual busy Monday after a romantic holiday.

Or so I thought...

I walked in that morning a engaged woman myself. Pam and Lafayette following me down the hall to my office with negative things to say about Bill and I. After that I got a million compliments about my outfit and matching shoes! Of course Pam being a woman and Laf being a gay man they had to stop and compliment. It was a Valentines Day gift from Bill because I've been eying the new Red Bottoms. So he bought me a pair of Black Red Bottoms with the heel and toe pink matching my black pencil skirt and pink blouse. OH and an engagement ring, what a weekend! But once that was over and I said who got them for me they was back to dogging Bill... My fiance. They both made a face and turned around to open the doors.

I looked at my IPhone and noticed I had an appointment first thing. Pam called over the intercom to ask if I was ready for the newly engaged couple to come back to my office. "Bring them back," I said.

Lafayette walked the couple down to my office and said "Miss Herveaux and Mr. Phillips Sookie," and walked to my desk and put a folder of papers down and left.

Herveaux? Where had I heard that name before? It was very familiar… Oh yea, Herveaux & Son had been the contractors I hired for the house. They was the best in Louisiana and based right out of Shreveport.

"Herveaux? As in Herveaux & Son?" I asked the woman standing in front of me. She was what you call naturally beautiful. She was in a pretty yellow sundress with flowers. Dark long beautiful hair and long, long legs. Jackson Herveaux was tall so that must be where she got it from.

"Yes," She said smiling, "I'm Janice Herveaux. Jackson Herveaux is my father." Yup, she resembled the man I remember well. "You familiar with us?"

"Sure, your fathers men built my house two years back," I said, "I fell in love with it immediately. Beautiful work!"

"Yes they do, do some good work." Said Mr. Phillips. I almost forgot he was there because he was so quite.

I smiled "Well, let us get started"

A knock on the door interrupted us about ten minutes later. It was Lafayette with a man. Laf came in and said, " Alcide here," looking him up and down appreciatively "claims he is supposed to be here with these two here?"

"Why yes, this is my brother. Dell is going out of town on business for a couple of months and Alcide will be helping me with the Grooms side of things." Janice said, " I hope that's okay." It was more than okay. WOW is all I can say.

"Of… Of course."I replied with an all to bright smile.

Laf left and we got back to our meeting. As we were almost finished Alcide got a call on his phone and excused himself stepping into the hallway. "Excuse him," Janice said "It's that damned girlfriend of his I'm sure. She never knows when to back off!"

Girlfriend? I was jealous right then and there. Wait, I'm an engaged woman. How crazy. I didn't even know this man. And what a MAN he was!
