She Quenched My Thirst

“I do” Edward said officially making Bella his wife. Bella basically jumped at Edward when the minister said ‘you may kiss the bride’. Edward had to pry her off.
I smiled and clapped with the crowd as the newlywed couple made their way to the reception in the back yard to share their first dance.

Alice had planned it all perfectly. That’s right I said Alice. The little she devil came back a few days after Jasper announced his love for me. She apologized for how she acted and said Jasper and I would live a long happy life together.
I asked her why she forgave us and she said she had a vision of herself with someone else in the future. She couldn’t tell if it was close or far but she knew she would be happy and find love again at some point. She was immediately forgiven by everyone except me. It’s going to take a while for me to trust her again.

The reception was really pretty but kind of slow. I met a lot of Bella’s human friends. Some of them tried to flirt with me but that didn’t go over well with Jasper.
“Hey I’m Mike” a baby faced friend of Bella’s said smiling at me. He had pale blue eyes and a round face with dimples.
“Hi, I’m Stella” I said putting my hand in the hand he was offering to shake.
“So how do you know the bride and groom?” He asked making conversation.
“Carlisle is adopting me after my family was killed in a house fire.” I said.
“Oh I’m sorry to hear that. Will you be staying in Forks or will you be traveling?”
“Probably traveling I would love to see the world.” I said imagining traveling around seeing everything there is to see.
“Maybe I could see you around sometime.” He said smiling flirtatiously.

“Hey babe there you are” Jasper said coming up behind me and kissing me sweetly.
“Hey” I smiled
“Do you want to dance?” He asked holding my waist.
“Sure babe. It was nice meeting you Mike.” I said as Jasper pulled me away and onto the dance floor where we sashayed around most of the other human couples.

Rosalie and Emmett were dancing on the other side of the room and Edward and Bella were in the center of the party dancing like Prince Charming and Cinderella.

“What’s wrong Jasper? Were you jealous?” I teased him with a smirk.
“He was feeling something towards you and it was making me uncomfortable.” He muttered sourly looking over his shoulder at Mike who was flirting with another girl now.
I turned his head back to me and kissed him “I only have eyes for you Jazz” I smiled sincerely.
He chuckled and said “You better” before pulling me into a dark corner to make out.

A long while later I pulled back and whispered “Jasper your sister is looking for me”
“So what, stay here with me.” He said.
His back was against the wall and his hands were on my hips restraining me from going anywhere and I was leaning on him with my chin on his chest looking up into his amazing gold eyes.
“You know if you don’t let me go she’s going to come and get me, and then enjoy your disappointment in front of your face.” I said resting my cheek on his chest.
“I don’t care, I enjoy spending time with you.”
"I know you want to spend time with me but you do not want your sister up your ass about holding me when you know she's looking for me." I said pecking his lips.

He sighed and let go of my hips. I smiled at him and went to go find Rosalie and Alice.
"We are glad you came without our assistance." Rosalie smiled to me.
"I didn't want to come. I was busy." I muttered not being specific for Alice's sake. They dragged me around on a search for Bella. We found her making out with Edward in the house.

“Bella, come on we have to change your dress.” Alice told the making out couple.
“Go away Alice” one of them muttered. I couldn’t tell who but whoever it was went right back to making out.
“Edward if you do give us Bella right now, I will tell her where you are taking her for you honeymoon.” Alice threatened.
Edward pulled back and groaned “You’re so annoying Alice” he grumbled.
“Well it’s the only way to get the job done.” She smiled taking Bella by the hand and pulling her upstairs with Rose and me trailing behind.

Once upstairs we started taking the bobby pins and braids out of her hair and started fixing it. “Why do you smell like a dog Bella?” I asked brushing her hair out.
“Jacob was here” She muttered simply.
“I thought he wasn’t coming” I said running the brush through my hair a few times.
“When did you talk to him?” She asked turning to me but then being scolded by Alice who was about to reapply her lipstick.

“When I left a few weeks ago, I went to La push and ran into him. He wasn’t that bad, he was actually really nice to me.” I said putting on a pinkish blush that made me look a little more human.
She didn’t respond as Alice helped her put on a dark blue dress. I fixed her hair one more time before we were satisfied with how she looked.
“Come on let’s find Edward and have him drool over the new Mrs. Cullen.” I said linking arms with Bella on one side and Rosalie on the other. Alice was on the other side of Bella and we walked no strutted downstairs.
After the Reception
“Good bye you guys! Don’t come back pregnant Bella!” I yelled as Edward and Bella drove away on their honeymoon. I felt arms wrap securely around my waist as I watched the back lights of the car disappeared into the darkness. "We should go inside love." Jasper murmured into my ear. I smiled up at him and put my hand over his. We went inside and saw everyone had started cleaning up.
I grabbed a large black garbage bag and started throwing cups, plates, forks and knives and other items laying around into it. The house was completely clean at around 2:30 in the morning and everyone drifted in their separate ways.
I found my way to Edward's piano in a room adjacent to the living room. The was a large shiny black piano sitting in the middle of the room. White and green sofas and love seats were arranged all over the room so that people could watch from all sides. I sat at the bench and ran my fingers over the beautiful white keys.

My mind flashed back to me as a little girl. It was before Allie and Lilly were born. I was about 5 or 6 and my family was visiting my grandmother. This was when she was healthy vibrant and energetic. She had a piano similar to this one and she would play songs for me. There were older songs that her mother played for her as a girl. My mother would play more recent songs and sometimes teach me how to play. There was one song that she sang that always stayed with me. I placed my fingers on the ivory keys and started to sing my mother's favorite song.

(Beautiful Intro)
Some people live for the fortune
Some people live just for the fame
Some people live for the power yeah
Some people live just to play the game
Some people think that the physical things
Define what's within
I've been there before
But that life's a bore
So full of the superficial

Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you baby
If I ain't got you baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you

Some people search for a fountain
Promises forever young
Some people need three dozen roses
And that's the only way to prove you love them
Hand me the world on a silver platter
And wondering what it means
No one to share, no one who truly cares for me

Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you baby
If I ain't got you baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you

Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you baby
If I ain't got you baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you
(piano)

If I ain't got you with me baby
Nothing in this whole wide world don't mean a thing
If I ain't got you with me baby

Someone put their hand on my shoulder and I bent my head back to see who it was. Rosalie smiled down at me and said "That was beautiful hun, I didn't know you played"
"I don't really, this was my mom's favorite song. She loved playing it and when I played it." "Do you want me to teach you how to play? Edward is better but I can play really well too." She said sliding next to me on the bench.
"Of course you can teach me love, I'm a really good student." I smiled as we started to play.
