I started pinning hoa on the walls. Emmett and Jasper were setting up chairs, Esme and Carlisle were working on the alter and Rosalie was selecting the âm nhạc 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 thêm 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 cây tops and mountains. Everyone headed upstairs to collect their outfits for the wedding. I followed behind.
Edward, bạn better stay out if bạn 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 đàn 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 ngày in my life. I listened for the change in âm nhạc 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 âm nhạc 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 tình yêu with her.
"I now pronounce bạn husband and wife, bạn 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 cơm, gạo 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 bởi 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 cơm, gạo was thrown. I unlocked the thân cây 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 thân cây 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 bạn don't want to go to the Volturi."
I kept myself calm before speaking up.
"And bạn are right on that assumption,"I replied.
"Then why didn't bạn 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 bạn don't, but I'm curious, I know we'll be hunting animals, I don't want to go human, but that bạn chose to go with me, rather than force me not to go, that bạn understand my opinion, rather than object it, shows me how much bạn tình yêu me. I am greatful for that, that bạn 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 bạn of course. Thank bạn for this."
"I will always follow you, and I will do what needs to be done, because I can't live without bạn and because I tình yêu 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 tình yêu 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 thêm tuned to your thoughts because I tình yêu you,"I đã đưa ý kiến passing Bella, but she saw me, I felt it.
"You tình yêu her,"she đã đưa ý kiến her voice cracking,"what about me? Did that tình yêu just deminish?"
"Bella,"I acted surprised,"what are bạn doing here?"
"We're going to her mom's,"Jacob cut in,"what about bạn bloodsucker?"
"Of course the dog would be with you."
"Hello Bella, I see bạn haven't changed much,"Liz broke in.
"That's because bạn can't be bitten to become a werewolf,"she replied snidely.
"So bạn remember me then,"Liz stated, just as mean,"would bạn know what we did today?"
"You probably died a few days cách đây 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 tim, trái tim and he obviously doesn't want to talk to you, see his new slutpire?"
"Slut, did bạn really just call me a slut,"Liz asked, outraged,"I don't know bạn and bạn don't know me, so I suggest bạn stop the freaking name calling and mind your own business. And Bella, we're all doing fine without you, and bởi we're I mean MY family. The one bạn decided to no longer involve yourself with. My husband and I don't need this, we're on our way to our honeymoon, something bạn 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 bạn alone, please?"
"Jacob, please go stand over there."
"No, Bella, I won't let bạn get hurt any further."
"Jacob, please,"she pleaded.
"Fine!"
Liz looked at me,"I'll let bạn talk,"and then followed Jacob. I waited for them to be a an toàn, két an toàn distance away before turning back to Bella.
"I'm sorry to disapoint you, but I can't talk to bạn anymore."
"Why Edward, why can't bạn 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 bạn hurt me, if not worse, but I need bạn 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 tình yêu bạn 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 tình yêu bạn Bella, something that will never stop, but I tình yêu Liz more, thêm than I could tình yêu anyone else."
"No, Edward, I don't believe you, I know bạn still want me, just as I want you. bạn need me and I need you. We complete each other, something that bimbo over there wouldn't understand."
"Bella, I understand how bạn feel, that's how I felt the ngày bạn chose the werewolf over me on our wedding day. bạn chose him and I had to live with that. But bạn hurting me so badly opened my tim, trái tim and I fell in tình yêu with Liz. I will always tình yêu my wife. bạn married Jacob, bạn married him, but I married someone who is closer to me than bạn ever were."
"How could you, how could bạn be closer to some other girl than bạn 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 bạn to understand. bạn chose Jacob, no one forced you, and I got over it. I fell in love, my tim, trái tim was mended bởi that beautiful woman over there with Jacob. She taught me to tình yêu again. She taught me about how even when everyone you've ever loved has been lost, bạn can still recover. She Mất tích her parents to drugs, she was beat up bởi 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 bạn anymore."
"No Edward, I don't accept that. I know bạn tình yêu me, I remember how often bạn told me bạn 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 tình yêu her thêm than I have ever loved anyone else and nothing bạn can say will change my mind. bạn chose Jacob and now bạn 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 bạn anytime soon."
"Edward, please! bạn can't expect me to believe that. That bạn got over me, since I've never gotten over you. I will see bạn again. I will make bạn tình yêu 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."
