"She's the first of her kind, with a terrifying amount of power. She's one of natures loop holes, there has been so much pain and death to keep her alive. Her blood isn't human." - Alice Cullen.
In the context of a wedding reception, a toast is a joyful speech to congratulate the newlyweds who have celebrated their union with a toast. Sitting beside my sister, going through peoples toasts and speeches. I cringed multiple times, laughing at Charlie threatening Edward, wanting to die inside when Mum started to sing the lullaby she sung us as kids. Edwards family done their speeches, Edward came up to do his speech.
"It's an extraordinary thing, to meet someone who you can bare your soul to. And who will accept you for what you are. I've been waiting, what seems like a very long time. To get beyond what I am. And with Bella, I feel like I can finally begin. She gave me a friend, her beautiful little sister Hope. So I'd like to propose a toast to my beautiful bride. No measure of time with you, will be enough. But, let's start with forever."
Everyone toasted to Edward, as the night continued. I had Seth hanging around me like a lost puppy, following me everywhere and got to a point where he was even following me to the bathroom. "Seth!" I yelled as I spun around to face him, he jumped in his skin as he took a step back. "I love you, so much. But please, why are you following me? Even to the point, of going to the bathroom."
"Edward wanted me to check in with you and so did Billy. They wanted to make sure you weren't isolating yourself, that you didn't feel alone." I sighed heavily as I held his face.
"Let me pee, wait there." I told him, closing the door in his face. I walked up to the mirror, placing my hands on the basin. I looked at myself in my reflection, taking a heavy sigh as I shook myself off. Walking out of the bathroom, expecting Seth to be still standing there, I narrowed my eyebrows at the fact he was no longer standing there. "Where did you go?"
Beginning to walk back to the reception, I spotted Edward rushing off. I picked up on a distant group of voices, it was Bella getting upset and there was... Jacob. Rushing through the crowd, heading down the back stairs that went down to the entry of the forest. Looking around, I spotted Jacob being held back by the boys. Edward standing there with Bella behind him.
"Where is she? Please, let me see her." Jacob begged, almost in tears.
"What's going on here?" I spoke up, all eyes fell on me. Spotting Sam behind Jacob, I gulped heavily as I watched Jacobs eyes observe me. He looked mesmerised.

"Hope, please. Give me a chance." Jacob cried out, getting out of the grip of Embry, Quil and Seth.
"Enough Jacob!" Sam yelled at him, Jacob looked back at him.
"Stay out of this Sam!" Jacob gritted his teeth at him. Edward looked back towards me, looking at me softly.
"It's ok hope, go back and enjoy the rest of the night. I'll sort this out." Edward reassured.
"Don't manipulate her more, Hope please." Jacob looked over to me.
"Don't start something, Hope has kicked your ass already." Sam said in his deep leader tone, Sam knew I was hurting. "You've done enough damage Jacob, let Hope enjoy the night with her family." Tears formed in my eyes, clenching my fist in pain.
"Hope, give me 5 minutes. Please." Jacob cried out to me, my body shivered as my fingers began to tremble.
"Jacob! Let's go!" Sam ordered, watching Jacob grunt in annoyance. Jacob, Quill and Embry jogged off. Jacob slamming his shoulder into Sam, Seth looked at me worried. "Seth!" Sam called to him, Seth looking to me again. I mouthed, I'm ok. Watching him jog off aswell, Bella and Edward looked to me with sympathy. Bella embracing me into a hug, she rubbed my back in small circles. Kissing the side of my head, she reassured me.
