Ophelia; Jasper Hale

31

Rosalie and Alice left and I stood looking at myself in the mirror. My hair was half up, half down, Rosalie did good. My makeup was perfect too. I laced my boots up and looked at my dress in the closet. I heard a small knock at the door and went to open it. I had a silk robe on, but it was ok because it was my mom. I let her in and she smiled. She was wearing a sleek tux and I smiled. I saw a tear fall from her cheek and hugged her softly. She kept her arms around my waist as to not ruin my hair or makeup.

"You look beautiful," He said quietly.

"You do too, I like it."

She dusted off her jacket and looked at me again. Another tear fell and I grabbed her hands.

"Mom, you're not supposed to be crying yet, I'm not even in my dress," I joked.

She laughed softly and I wiped the tear without messing up her makeup.

"You're so grown up. I'm so proud of you."

"I love you, now go so I can put on my dress."

"I love you too, I'll see you downstairs."

I smiled and she left. I closed the door and put my dress on. I looked at the tool puff sleeves and the deep v-neck covered in lace. It was beautiful. I got the box Alice gave to me yesterday and put the gloves on. I looked beautiful, everything was so incredibly perfect. I smiled and walked down the stairs to where my mom was standing. Rosalie and Alice looked at me with awe in their eyes. Emmet looked at me and smiled wide. He was holding a basket with the rose petals in it. I felt bad for making him do this, but he lost the dare, he had to be my flower boy. The music started and I felt my heart drop. Oh god, I wasn't ready. What if I fell or worse, attacked someone? I hunted before I came, it's fine.

I fixed my posture and my mom weapons her arm around mine. Everyone lined up and we stood at the end of the line. Slowly, one by one, the line got shorter and shorter until eventually it was just my mom and I.

"Don't let me fall," I said softly.

"Never," whispered and then we started walking.

We turned the corner and time froze when our eyes met. Jasper instantly looked at me. I felt so anxious, if I was human I'd be itching my hands so hard right now. When I looked into his eyes though, my anxiety melted away. Suddenly, I just wanted to run over to the alter. He looked so neat and tidy in his suit. His hair styled. He looked absolutely beautiful to me. We walked slowly and I felt everyone's eyes on me. I kept my eyes glued to his though, never faltering. My mom kissed my cheek and let go of my arm. She sat down and Jasper grabbed my hand. He helped me walk over to my spot. I smiled and felt a tear pricking at my eye. No, I couldn't cry, this is the happiest moment of my life. Hold it together Ophelia.

I looked into his eyes as the ordainer read his speech. We each promised to love each other and finally, after what seemed like years of holding hands and looking into each others eyes, we closed the gap between us. I kissed him passionately in front of our family. We pulled apart and we walked back down the aisle happily. Soon the reception started and I took the skirt off my dress. Alice made the dress so that the long skirt would snap on and off for easy changing. I sat the skirt on our bed and turned when I heard someone at the door. Jasper smiled and walked over.

"Reception time," he said softly.

"I'm excited to meet your family."

"I'm excited to introduce you," he said smiling.

He kissed my neck and I turned. I took his jacket off and smiled.

"This will do," I said grabbing him by the tie.

I softly pulled him back out by the tie. Everyone separated and we walked out to the dance floor. A slow song played. Jasper grabbed my hand from his tie and moved it to his neck. He put his arms around my waist and pulled me close. I leaned my head on his shoulder and smiled. Jasper hummed to the song softly. Eventually he started whisper singing it into my ear. He was perfect in every way imaginable.

After dancing Jasper pulled me aside to introduce me properly to the two he ran away with from Maria's army. The girl who I thought he cheated on me with and her mate. I stood in front of the two, red-eyed vampires. They drank human blood?

"Charlotte, Peter, thank you for being here, even if it's brief. This is my wife Ophelia."

Charlotte shook my hand with a smile.

"I'm sorry for the misconception," she said softly.

"No, it's my fault. I wish I would've let Jasper explain."

"It's ok, it was a misunderstanding, none of our faults," Jasper said.

"I'm Peter, Charlotte's mate. Jasper and us escaped the Mexican coven together."

"I've heard. I'm glad you guys left otherwise I would've never even met Jasper," I said looking to him.

"Every decision I've ever made has led up to this moment. I wouldn't change a thing," Jasper said looking at me.

I smiled and we moved to our table to "eat" some cake. After a while Jasper told me he had a surprise and pulled me into the house and into the living room. He covered my eyes and I smiled. I instantly smelled familiar wolves and smiled. He pulled my hands away and the three boys were there.

"Oh my god! You guys came?" I asked happily.

Wesley ran over and hugged me tightly. I smiled and Dakota gave me a gentle hug after. Luka smiled to me and hugged me.

"Are you guys staying?"

"I'm taking Wes back for school, but Luka will stay."
