Bella
After the ceremony was followed by a reception. It was in the same building we were in right now. I got up and walked towards Joy, the lovely bride.
"Bella! I'm so glad you could make it! Thanks for coming," Joy said excitedly while bouncing up and down.
I hugged her. Then I laughed and said, "It's nice to see you too. The wedding ceremony was beautiful. The flowers at the alter were drooping. I wanted to fix them but it was already too late to get up and do it. Plus if I did, everybody would be starring at me! That would be terrible," I said.
"Bella you haven't changed a bit. Oh, I want you to meet my husband, Marcus. Marcus, this is my best friend from high school, Bella."
"It's nice to meet Bella," Marcus said shaking my hand.
"It's nice to meet you to," I said, "You are aware that you have just made a big commitment right? Joy can be a big handful."
Marcus chuckled and kissed Joy on the cheek.
"She can never be a handful to me," he said.
Girls nearby awed. I poked Joy and said, "He's a keeper."
"I know, that's why I'm here!"
We laughed together. Marcus and Joy made there way into the dining room as everybody followed behind.

I watched as Bella interacted with Marcus and Joy. She was a pure beauty. I wondered if I would be able to sit by her. If I didn't that would be a downer. I would definitely have to get a dance with her though. All of a sudden I felt somebody hit me in the back. I turned around and glared at Alice.
"What? I was calling your name but you just kept on staring off into space. Everybody is almost all gone. It's just you and me now," she said defensively.
"Oh, right. Let's get going," I said.
APOV
I watched as Edward walked into the reception room. I wondered what was wrong with him. Edward was never out of it. He was always the one on top of things. I have never seen him like that. All of a sudden it hit me.
"He found a girl! HE FOUND A GIRL!," I exclaimed excitedly.
I suddenly realized that I was all alone. I quickly went into the reception room and found my seat.
BPOV
"I had special seats made for you and your family up at the front. You guys will be seating next to me. You guys won't mind sitting next to the Cullen family will you?" Joy asked worriedly.
"Stop worrying! This is your wedding night. Calm down. It doesn't matter who we sit next to. Enjoy yourself and stop worrying," I scolded her.
"Okay," Joy said as she hugged me. She walked up to her chair and sat down with her new husband.
I shook my head at her. Joy could be ridiculous at times.
I walked towards the table Joy and pointed at and looked for my name tag. I found it quickly and sat down. I looked around to see who I would be sitting with. I was shocked when I saw that the name Edward was next to me. I was so stupid. Edward's last name was Cullen. I hoped that I wouldn't embarrass myself in front of him. I couldn't fret around any more because my family had spotted me and were walking towards me. I smiled and waved.
"Hey, Bells! Who was that guy you were talking to being the ceremony started?" Emmett asked.
"He's name is Edward. Edward and his family are going to be sitting with us today," I responded.
My family sat down and started to talk among themselves. I was playing with my napkin when I felt somebody sit down next to me. I knew that it was Edward.
"Hello again," I said.
"Hey," Edward said as he laughed. "How did you know it was me?"
I looked up and smiled at him.
"I think it has something to do with the name tag," I lied. I knew that it was Edward just because. It was like I could sense his presence.
Edward looked at me. He knew that I was lying but didn't say anything.
"Edward! You're not going to introduce us?" A short pixie girl asked?
"Fine. Bella I want you to meet my family. This is Alice, my sister. This is my mother Esme and my father Carlise. This is my other sister Rosalie. Mom, dad, Rosalie, Alice, this is Bella," Edward said.
"It's nice to meet you all," I said.
Edward's family all greeted me. They were all looking at me so I blushed. I hated being the center of attention.
"Everybody, this is my family. This is my mother Renee. This is my father Charlie. This is two guys are my brothers, Jasper and Emmett," I said.
"It's nice to meet you all," Renee said.
"I agree," Esme said.
Rosalie was looking down while Emmett was staring intently at her. I watched as Jasper and Alice stared at each other. They looked like love at first sight. I smiled a soft smile and leaned towards Edward.
"I think there are some love sparks between your sisters and my brothers," I whispered in his ear. I saw Edward shiver as I spoke in his ear.
Edward sighed dramatically and said, "This is a disaster!"
Everybody at our table seemed to hear Edward and turned towards him.
"Care to explain dear?" Esme asked.
"Oh, I was just talking to Bella," Edward said trying to avoid the question. Esme understood that he didn't want to talk so she turned away and continued talking to my mother.
"Yes, Edward. Do you care to explain?" I asked as the food was being served.
"Do you think I want my sisters to be in love. They could get hurt. I don't mean anything to your brothers though. It's just the fact that they are going to be in a relationship," Edward said in a disgusted voice. He sounded sad and horrified at the same time. I immediately hugged Edward. I didn't think. I just knew that he was hurt and took action.
"It's going to be okay," I said. My voice was muffled because it was pressed against his chest. Edward hugged me back.
"Thank you. I love hugging you but everyone is staring at us," Edward whispered in my ear.
I laughed and let go of him. Edward laughed too.
"Bella, why were you hugging Edward?" Jasper asked.
Renee poked Jasper in the stomach but Jasper ignored it. Emmett, Jasper, and Charlie were all waiting for me to talk.
I didn't want to say it out loud so I used my powers. I made the plant's leaves in the center of the table grow towards them. On them, I made the a note.
For Jasper I said: Butt out! I can take care of myself. You and Alice seem very close too.
For Emmett I said: Stop being the protective brother. I see you making goo goo eyes at Rosalie.
For Charlie I said: Dad, stop worrying. It was a friendly hug. It didn't mean anything.
Jasper and Emmett blushed as they looked at me. Charlie just sighed.
"Fine, I give in!" Emmett exclaimed. I could tell that he really meant it because he started digging into his food. He was in another world now.
"That was cool!" Alice said. "How do you do that?"
"I am the Goddess of Nature. I control plant life," I said.
"That is an interesting power," Esme said. "Edward can read minds you know-"
All of a sudden, Carlise interrupted and said, "Why don't we start eating. We can talk while we eat. Everybody else is almost done with their appetizer."
Everybody started to eat and there was no conversation until we finished eating our appetizer. I looked at Edward after I finished eating to see him already staring at me.
I blushed and said, "So, you can read minds?"
Edward laughed at my anxious and curious expression. I couldn't help it though. I really hope that he couldn't read my mind. Oops, I though. I didn't mean it.
"I can read every body's mind but yours. I can read any mind that I want when I want to. I can control it. I can't read yours though. I keep trying but it won't work. I wonder why..."Edward said thoughtfully.
I breathed a sigh of relief.
"What is it?" Edward asked.
"Oh, I'm just glad that you can't read my mind. That would be embarrassing!"
Edward laughed. "I wish I could feel the same way. I want to hear your thoughts. You're an interesting person. You're always surprising me. I wish I could understand what goes on in your head."
"I don't think you would want to know I'm thinking."
"Try me."
I wondered if I should really tell him. I decided yes.
"I was thinking that I'm pretty boring. I don't know why you would want to read my mind. I'm thinking about how great of a God, excuse me King, you are. You're so nice and you act like a gentleman. I'm thinking that-" I paused. I didn't know if I should tell him.
I must have paused for a long time because Edward said, "Please continue." with a curious and awed expression.
I thought quickly of the pros and cons of this situation. If Edward didn't like me back then, maybe we could stay friends. We might just be friends for the wedding overall. He is the King of the Underworld. He would have to go back there eventually. There is the chance that he won't mind though. The chance that he might like me too. I quickly erased that thought from my head. There was no way that Edward could like me back. I finally chose if I should tell him or not.
"Edward, I-" I said.
