I started pinning flowers on the walls. Emmett and Jasper were setting up chairs, Esme and Carlisle were working on the alter and Rosalie was selecting the موسیقی for later today. I decided to listen to Liz's beautiful voice.
"Alice, I think I know why my lips are soft, though I can't yet explain why my eyes are purple."
"Explain,"Alice commanded. Suddenly I knew everyone was listening in.
"Well, it just occured to me, couldn't being human be an ability? Couldn't that be why I'm different?"
"It could, but it doesn't make sense. Being a vampire is a step up from being human."
"I see your point,"she countered," and here's another idea, what if my lips are soft because they have to be. What if my lips have to be soft to absorb the power?"
"That one makes مزید sense,"she gave in,"did everyone hear that?"
Everybody replied yes. But afterwards all was quiet. Those upstairs and down. The decorations were in place and the carpet rolled down. I looked out the window, the sky was lighting and the sun was peeking over the درخت tops and mountains. Everyone headed upstairs to collect their outfits for the wedding. I followed behind.
Edward, آپ better stay out if آپ know what's good for you.
I followed to the doorway and waited outside for Alice to hand me my gloves and tux. Then I went back to my room to dress myself. I came out fully dressed and listened to the girls talking in Alice's room. Carlisle would be the priest for out ceremony. I walked down the stairs, listening to the Volturi driving back. Not long after they were being seated. I took my place at the alter and watched as everyone prepared for their roles. Rosalie was the only female member downstairs, and she sat at the piano starting her first piece. It was the signal that the wedding was starting and that made me smile. It was also the signal to the girls upstairs. My smile widened while I anxiously waited for my bride to come. This was the happiest دن in my life. I listened for the change in موسیقی as Alice decended the stairs and made her way up the aisle. How many times I had watched them make their way to the alter and now it was my turn.
Finally the موسیقی changed and Liz's light footsteps decended the stairs. I watched as the most beautiful girl in the world decended the stairs. If I were playing, I would have sped up the music. I was impatient for her arrival, but mostly excited. I would finally be able to call her my wife. My better half. Her dress was beautiful and it made her stand out. She finally stopped and turned to face me. My smile never left my lips.
When it came, she replied in a clear and radiant voice,"I do."
And I replied when it was my turn,"I do,"so proud of the young woman standing before me, and so in love with her.
"I now pronounce آپ husband and wife, آپ may kiss the bride."
I wrapped my arms around her and she placed hers around my neck. When our lips met, I felt a slight shock, but it was a good one. Her lips warmed mine, though the heat was increasing and the pleasure great, I broke the kiss and led her back down the aisle and throught the door, where the چاول was thrown. We headed to the front yard, where the reception was to take place and started the music. Everyone followed us out and the dancing started. We danced with different people through out the reception and met back with each other. It was too soon when Alice interupted to remind us of our flight. She grabbed Liz سے طرف کی the wrist and led her back inside. I followed but went further in to change. Then, after grabbing my already packed suitcase, I waited for her at the bottom of the stairs. She came down wearing a dark purple dress with Alice carrying her suitcase and we headed through the door where the rest of the چاول was thrown. I unlocked the تنے, ٹرنک of my volvo, which Emmett had driven up, and Alice put both suitcases in the trunk, while Liz and I got in. After seatbelts were on and the تنے, ٹرنک was shut, we sped off into the distance.
"So where are we going?"
"You'll see, I don't want to spoil the surprise, so my thoughts will be guarded."
"Ok, so I guess I'll just have to wait,"she paused," I know آپ don't want to go to the Volturi."
I kept myself calm before speaking up.
"And آپ are right on that assumption,"I replied.
"Then why didn't آپ persuade me to stay and decline their invitation?"
"Because I feel it was your decision, I myself would have declined, but it was your choice, not mine,"I stated honestly.
"I know آپ don't, but I'm curious, I know we'll be hunting animals, I don't want to go human, but that آپ chose to go with me, rather than force me not to go, that آپ understand my opinion, rather than object it, shows me how much آپ love me. I am greatful for that, that آپ are willing to put aside your hatred for the Volturi and allow my feelings to take priority, is the best wedding present I could have, besides آپ of course. Thank آپ for this."
"I will always follow you, and I will do what needs to be done, because I can't live without آپ and because I love you."
I slowed down, now that we had reached the airport. I parked the car and then grabbed our suitcases out of the trunk. I locked the doors and then headed inside with the love of my afterlife walking beside me.
"Why are they all staring, it's weird,"she broke the silence.
"They're staring because you're absolutely gorgeous,"I replied smiling.
"If I could blush, I would be."
My smile grew, but I didn't laugh, I heard the thoughts of a traitor nearby.
What happens if Edward sees her, Liz thought.
"What happens if I see who."
I followed her line of vision towards the heartbreaker and her dog companion. I ignored them, hoping they didn't notice us walking near them.
"I hate that. I don't eavesdrop on your conversations."
"Sorry, I'm just used to it. Besides, I'm مزید tuned to your thoughts because I love you,"I کہا passing Bella, but she saw me, I felt it.
"You love her,"she کہا her voice cracking,"what about me? Did that love just deminish?"
"Bella,"I acted surprised,"what are آپ doing here?"
"We're going to her mom's,"Jacob cut in,"what about آپ bloodsucker?"
"Of course the dog would be with you."
"Hello Bella, I see آپ haven't changed much,"Liz broke in.
"That's because آپ can't be bitten to become a werewolf,"she replied snidely.
"So آپ remember me then,"Liz stated, just as mean,"would آپ know what we did today?"
"You probably died a few days پہلے and I have nothing to say to a bloodsucker,"so she was using his terms now,"except how the rest of the family is doing."
"Bella,"Jacob warned,"don't talk to them, he broke your دل and he obviously doesn't want to talk to you, see his new slutpire?"
"Slut, did آپ really just call me a slut,"Liz asked, outraged,"I don't know آپ and آپ don't know me, so I suggest آپ stop the freaking name calling and mind your own business. And Bella, we're all doing fine without you, and سے طرف کی we're I mean MY family. The one آپ decided to no longer involve yourself with. My husband and I don't need this, we're on our way to our honeymoon, something آپ really missed out on."
I looked at her surprised, she really had a lot of anger towards Bella. But I had to speak up, to let Bella know that I wanted nothing to do with her.
"Bella, can I talk to آپ alone, please?"
"Jacob, please go stand over there."
"No, Bella, I won't let آپ get hurt any further."
"Jacob, please,"she pleaded.
"Fine!"
Liz looked at me,"I'll let آپ talk,"and then followed Jacob. I waited for them to be a محفوظ distance away before turning back to Bella.
"I'm sorry to disapoint you, but I can't talk to آپ anymore."
"Why Edward, why can't آپ just listen?"
"Go ahead, I'll listen, but keep in mind, I have a flight to catch."
"Okay, I know I hurt you, just as bad as آپ hurt me, if not worse, but I need آپ Edward. I want to marry you, never age with you, to hunt with you, I want it so badly. I want to be your... your wife, something I never thought I'd want, but I truly do. I love آپ Edward. Take me back."
"I can't. That woman was telling the truth. We just got married today, we're on our way to our honeymoon. I still love آپ Bella, something that will never stop, but I love Liz more, مزید than I could love anyone else."
"No, Edward, I don't believe you, I know آپ still want me, just as I want you. آپ need me and I need you. We complete each other, something that bimbo over there wouldn't understand."
"Bella, I understand how آپ feel, that's how I felt the دن آپ chose the werewolf over me on our wedding day. آپ chose him and I had to live with that. But آپ hurting me so badly opened my دل and I fell in love with Liz. I will always love my wife. آپ married Jacob, آپ married him, but I married someone who is closer to me than آپ ever were."
"How could you, how could آپ be closer to some other girl than آپ were to me. We were meant to be together, meant to never be apart."
"Yet here we stand, both married, both in love. Your husband is talking to my wife."
"But Edward, divorces are easy, we can get married."
"I will never divorce Liz, I married for the right reason. I will never leave Liz."
"Why won't you? I know I chose wrong now, please Edward, I need you, I know who I can't live without."
"I'm sorry Bella, Ineed آپ to understand. آپ chose Jacob, no one forced you, and I got over it. I fell in love, my دل was mended سے طرف کی that beautiful woman over there with Jacob. She taught me to love again. She taught me about how even when everyone you've ever loved has been lost, آپ can still recover. She lost her parents to drugs, she was beat up سے طرف کی the dealers who tried to get the money her parents owed from her. How even though she was all alone, she found someone to love. She loves me, really loves me and I her. I can't do this anymore Bella, I can't deal with آپ anymore."
"No Edward, I don't accept that. I know آپ love me, I remember how often آپ told me آپ loved me. How can this be any different? I think she's just a replacement for me, look at her."
"Bella, do I have to repeat myself? I may have loved you, but I love her مزید than I have ever loved anyone else and nothing آپ can say will change my mind. آپ chose Jacob and now آپ have to live with that decision. Now, my wife and I must get to our plane, so we don't miss it. Goodbye Bella, I don't expect to see آپ anytime soon."
"Edward, please! آپ can't expect me to believe that. That آپ got over me, since I've never gotten over you. I will see آپ again. I will make آپ love me."
"Come Liz, we have a plane to catch."
Liz returned to my side and I lifted both suitcases and walked away from Bella, never glancing back. I listened as Jacob and Bella argued. Then went to our departure point. After giving them our tickets, we boarded the plane, taking the first class seats we paid for.
"Alice, I think I know why my lips are soft, though I can't yet explain why my eyes are purple."
"Explain,"Alice commanded. Suddenly I knew everyone was listening in.
"Well, it just occured to me, couldn't being human be an ability? Couldn't that be why I'm different?"
"It could, but it doesn't make sense. Being a vampire is a step up from being human."
