To you, I'll give the world
To you, I'll never be cold
'Cause I feel that when I'm with you
It's alright, I know it's right

And the songbirds are singing,
Like they know the score
And I love you, I love you, I love you
Like never before

Fleetwood Mac- Songbird

"Ha!" I jumped on Emmett's back but he quickly threw me off. Twisting, I landed on my feet and charged turning ever so slightly to my right as he moved to the left and sunk to the ground knock his legs out from under him. Then jumping up, I landed on top of him my lips poised at his neck.

"I might have just lost, but it was incredibly sexy," He smirked and I pressed my lips to his throat. Quickly, he flipped me over onto my back which I didn't oppose, especially when his lips met mine in a seductive, lustful kissed. Quickly I tangled my hands up in his hair as I forced my hips up into his.

Groaning he pulled back but I moved my lips down to his neck, "We really need to get some alone time."

"I couldn't agree more…" I breathed out but knew it was impossible with Bella and Edward's wedding in a couple days and it wasn't like I could go out into town. Even though I was doing really well with my restraint, I never had any trouble around Bella, though the burning never did go away. But in the forest Emmett had to restrain me once as I was about to pounce on a couple of unknowing hikers.

"We could just go in the woods," He smiled and I pulled back glaring.

"Emmett Cullen my first time is not going to be in the woods."

"It almost was that one time," He smirked and moved his silky hand down my side and under my shirt I noticed him pivot his body so no one in the house would see, but from what I could hear and tell no one was paying attention.

"Emmett," I warned and let out a soft growl that actually sounded more like a purr. He must have took it as that because his fingertips traced the outline of my bra. In one quick movement I used my newborn force and pushed him out and over so I was straddling him. "No," I declared and he laid his head back into the grass. Smirking I leaned my head down sucking gently on his earlobe.

"If you want it this bad, I would hope you'd try harder to get a place." I breathed so only he could possibly hear. Getting up I started walking away into the house where Rose was working on my car, 'fine tuning' as she liked to call it. Devan as promised had gotten me a new car, but I decided that we didn't need another Jeep so I picked a beautiful bright blue Mazda RX-8. It was my new baby since my other was burnt to a crisp.

"How's it going Rose?" My voiced chimed, a new thing from the transformation that I was still trying to get used to.

"I'm just about done," she said from under the car.

Awhile after, I tended to lose track of time a lot now, Edward's Volvo showed up getting back from getting something for the wedding. Instantly his eyes locked on mine and I knew something was up.

'What?'

He motioned for me to come in the house with him and followed as he put the things on the barely used kitchen counter and I hopped up in a stool. "What is it Edward?" I sighed not like this.

"I drove by your old house today…" I didn't even move just remained motionless. "There's a moving van, I stopped and asked and they are moving out tomorrow."

"Good," I nodded trying to remain completely emotionless.

"Piper," he frowned knowing this was the one thing I hadn't healed from in the month I've been a vampire. Quickly I turned and walked up to Emmett and I's room lying on the bed.

I heard the soft chinking of the metal around my neck and reached up fingering the thimble necklace gently. I heard his footsteps walk up the stairs and but didn't bother looking as the door opened.

"Are you ok?" I simply scooted over and he laid down beside me. I switched to my side as he pulled me in pressing my back against his chest.

"It's just…I realized that I could never be with them again but with them still here I felt that connection. I felt like I was still there…now…now they're really going to be gone." I felt venom pool in my eyes for tears that wouldn't fall.

He didn't say anything and just pulled me closer pressing a soft kiss to the top of my head.

"I love you, Em," I whispered.

"Love you too, Pip," He arms tightened

oOo

"I just need to see them," I growled walking to the garage. "I'm not even going to leave the car, ask Alice."

"I'm still coming," Emmett growled right back and I let out an exaggerated sigh. Looking over my car at him I gave a hard glare.

"Why?"

"Because it's going to be hard on you and I want to be there," He responded and just blinked shocked. I had figured he wanted to come because he didn't trust me.

"Get in," I frowned, "It's my turn to drive now." I gave a weak smile, I hadn't even gotten the chance to drive it yet; always being stooped up in the house. Sliding into the leather seats I quickly closed the door and flipped the key as Emmett closed his door. I put it into gear and took off tearing down the road. No longer was I afraid of skidding off the unpaved road and I got into Forks with in record time before slowing down to a somewhat normal speed.

The drive was so familiar but my memories of taking it were blurry from not seeing everything clearly. Then my eyes set on it, they were still packing things into the truck. Just like them to wait until last second to finish.

Slowly, inconspicuously I pulled up to a house across the street that was also for sale, hoping people would see us as casual buyers. I saw my Dad look over and shrank back until I realized the windows were tinted to dark for him to see inside.

'Thank you for coming,' I thought to Emmett and he reached over grabbing my hand.

We just sat there for an hour and listened to their quiet conversations. Measuring they're footsteps I figured out that it had been my room that they had packed last.

"This is the last box," Dad murmured.

"What is it?" Mom asked.

"Her graduation things," He responded and I leaned my head against the steering wheel hearing the pain in their voices. Quietly I felt my shoulders start shaking and realized that I was crying minus the tears.

"Come here," Emmett murmured then silently lifted me out of the seat and placed me into his lap brushing my hair softly.

"Are you sure Emmett didn't want anything?" My mom choked out on the verge of tears after a few minutes.

"He said that he had things to remember her by and that we should keep everything."

"Alright," she finally broke and I heard dad put down the box and walk over to her probably comforting her. He led her out of the house forgetting the box and I felt Emmett quickly pick me up then put me back in my seat. He ran as fast as possible around the house not even drawing the slightest bit of attention from my parents.

Just then it seemed like Dad remembered the box and headed back in just as Emmett raced around and quickly got into the car.

"What was that?" I murmured and he held up a picture. It was the one Mike Newton's mom had taken. We were in front of the school and students and parents were milling around. I was standing in between my mom and dad both my arms wrapped around their backs and one each of their arms disappearing behind me as I stood in my ugly cap and gown. They wore proud smiles while I was on the verge of laughing at the ridiculousness of having another picture with the three of us. How wrong was I?

"I thought you'd like something to remember everything," He gave a small smile.

"Thank you," I gave a weak smile and leaned over kissing his lips softy.

"Are you sure this is the right thing?" Mom asked and I looked over see them locking up the back of the truck.

"There's no reason to stay here anymore, it's just bad memories." Dad sighed and she gave a small nod before wiping her cheek with her sleeve. Silently they got into the moving truck and I wondered what had happened to their cars for a second as Dad started the truck and then pulled going down the road.

"They're really gone," I murmured and felt Emmett reach over taking my hand.

The drive home I was silent and immediately went up to the room as I walked in, picture in hand. That's where I stayed for the rest of the night and most of the morning.

oOo

"Jazz we should just go get him," Emmett groaned impatiently drumming his fingers on his knee.

Growling slightly I held them down, "that is very annoying." I had been a bit antsy all week because Bella's wedding was tomorrow and humans would fill the house. That meant that I had to be locked up in my room all day pretty much. Plus I had drained about 4 deer tonight in preparation and felt all sloshy.

"Sorry," he smiled and leaned in kissing my temple, "it's just we're not going to be able to go very far if he doesn't get back here and what's the fun in that."

"You should go get him, otherwise he's not going to come," Alice said from upstairs.

"Finally!" He exclaimed standing up. "I'll see you in the morning," he leaned down kissing my lips softly.

"Have fun," I gave a small smile. "Love you."

"Love you too." I pressed my lips against his once more. "Try not to ruin that shirt too."

"Can't promise that," he smirked and both him and Jazz ran out the door to Bella's house to get Edward for his bachelor party.

"Piper can you help me up here?" Alice called.

"Why?"

"Oh just get your grouchy butt up here."

'No.' I thought at her.

"Piper...and stop doing that," She huffed and I groaned getting up.

"It's payback for keeping visions from me," I argued back playfully.

"Girls," Esme admonished and we both giggled.

I'd learned a couple things about my powers. One, Jasper hated it, more than the others. Two, I could send it to one person, a couple people or, everyone within a group; I just had to concentrate on the people I wanted to hear it. Third is that I haven't found a distance that I couldn't send it, so it seemed that as long as I knew them and could picture them I could send a thought to them. Lastly it of course doesn't work on Bella.

"Yes, Alice?" I questioned from the door where she was finishing up a few things for the wedding tomorrow.

"Can you help me with these please?"

"Yup," I nodded and took my seat beside her.

"Are you ok, Piper?" She breathed out and I glanced up seeing the worried look in her eyes.

"I'm just annoyed with myself I guess," I whispered. "I mean I have to watch two of my best friends get married by secretly watching from the top of the stairs and out a window. And I've been trying to be positive about it all because I want Bella and Edward to be happy." Pursing my lips, I twisted the ribbon around the grouping of flowers, "I guess I'll be able to see the next one if Bella allows one," I let out a humorless laugh.

"After all our planning she's going to love this one so much she'll drop this silly fear." Alice gave me a comforting smile. "Though I have a feeling our next wedding will be yours."

"Not for a while," I gave a tiny smile until she didn't say anything back. Glancing up I saw a knowing smile on her face. "Alice what do you know?"

"Nothing," she chimed.

"Mary Alice Cullen, what do you know? This is what I was just talking about…"

"You'll never get it out of me," She laughed.

"Annoying little pixie." I murmured but continued wrapping ribbons as she giggled.

oOO

"Come on Aliceeeee," I called from the driver's seat of my car.

"But I want to take my Porche," She pouted.

"You've gotten to drive yours more; it's my turn."

"Fine," she sighed and got in.

The drive to Bella's was quick, and Alice quickly got out of the car walking up to the door.

She barely got a, "Hey, Charlie" out before pulling Bella out putting her in the front seat before going in the back.

"Oh, hell, look at your eyes," I gasped and Alice quickly moved up to the front in between the seats as I zoomed down the street.

"What did you do?" she tsked, "Stay up all night?"

"Almost."

"I've only allotted so much time to make you stunning, Bella, you might have taken better care of my raw material."

"No one expects me to be stunning. I think the bigger problem is that I might fall asleep during the ceremony and not be able to say 'I do' at the right part, and then Edward will make his escape."

Alice giggled, "I'll throw my bouquet at you when it gets close."

"Thanks."

"At least you'll have plenty of time to sleep on the plane tomorrow," I smirked giving her a little hint about her honeymoon.

"Piper," Alice hissed and hit my shoulder which Bella flinched at even if it didn't hurt. "You're all packed and ready."

"Alice, I wish you would let me pack my own things!"

"It would have given too much away."

"And denied you an opportunity to shop."

"You'll be my sister officially in ten short hours…it's about time to get over this aversion to new clothes."

I giggled, seeing her scowling out the windshield.

"Is he back yet?" she asked me ignoring Alice in the back seat.

"They'll be here before the music starts," I smiled, "But even if he were here you can't see him. We're doing it the traditional way as Alice would put it." I saw her smile in the back seat.

"Traditional!" She snorted looking back at Alice.

"Okay, aside from the bride and the groom."

"You know he's already peeked."

"Oh no, that's why I'm the only one who's seen you in the dress. I've been very careful to not think about it when he's around."

"Well," Bella turned back to the front seeing the twinkling lights Rose and I had put up last night. "I see you got to reuse your graduation decorations."

Wow, graduation…that seemed like so long ago.

"Waste not, want not. Enjoy this, because you don't get to see the inside decorations until it's time." Alice remarked as I pulled into the garage.

"Since when is the bride not allowed to see the decorations?" Bella protested getting out while Alice and I were already out.

"Since she put me in charge. I want you to get the full impact coming down the stairs." Quickly Alice put her hand over Bella's eyes as I opened the door.

"What is that?" she asked about the flowers.

"Is it too much," Alice asked worried, "You're the first human in here; I hope I got it right."

"It smells wonderful!" Bella assured her, "orange blossoms…lilacs…and something else, am I right?"

"Very good, you only missed the freesia and the roses," I complimented following them up into Alice's gigantic bathroom.

"Is this really necessary? I'm going to look plain next to him no matter what." Bella looked horrified at all the products on the counter.

"No one will dare to call you plain when we're through with you."

"Only because they're afraid one of you will suck their blood," She muttered and both of us laughed as we begun working.

After lunch I was getting Alice's dress ready while she continued working with Bella when Rose came by already dressed, "They're back."

I immediately saw Bella light up, "Keep him out of here!" Alice growled.

"He won't cross you today," Rose smiled. "He values his life too much. Esme's got them finishing things up out back. Do you want some help? I could do her hair."

"Sure," Alice said. "You can start braiding. I want it intricate. The veil goes here, underneath."

Once I had finished with Alice's dress I got Bella's while Rose went to locate Jasper who was suppose to pick up Renee and Phil from their hotel. Bella's nerves only increased as we slipped her into the dress and Alice fastened the button's up the back.

"Deep breaths," I reminded, "try to lower your heart rate. You're going to sweat off all you're makeup."

"I'll get right on that," Bella bit back.

"We have to get dressed now. Can you hold yourself together for two minutes?" Alice said and I gave her a confused look.

"Why do I need to get dressed."

"You didn't think that just because you wouldn't be there I wouldn't have you be part of it did you?" Bella gave a nervous smile as Alice pulled out another dress similar to hers.

"Thank you," I reached up hugging her and she gave a weak smile as we dashed off to change. As soon as we got back Bella was taking deep breaths until her eyes landed on us.

"Wow." Was all she said.

"It's nothing. No one will be looking at anyone but you."

"Har Har."

"Now, are you in control of yourself, or do I have to bring Jasper up here?"

"They're back? Is my mom here?"

"Yeah I've got to go," I rushed out hearing Renee coming up the stairs, "You look amazing Bella." I whispered in her ear giving another hug before racing out of the room and into Emmett and I's.

I listened carefully to Bella in the other room as Rose started playing the piano.

'You're a lucky guy,' I sent to Edward as I heard Bella whisper, "Don't let me fall, Dad."

When I heard the music stop I carefully made my way to the top of the stairs making sure everyone was mesmerized by Bella before sitting down and watching. Letting out a soft breath I saw Seth Clearwater turn his head slightly.

Him and his dang hearing…looking down I gave him a small smile and held my finger up to my lips telling him to be quiet. He smiled softly and turned around, I hadn't actually seen any of the wolves since that morning and I wondered how he they felt about me.

All the Cullen's and Bella said that they understood what had happened but that's all they would say, besides knowing that Jacob had disappeared.

As for the ceremony it was beautiful, they only looked at each other the whole time. Like they didn't even know we all were there. Quickly enough Mr. Weber had announced them man and wife and I caught Emmett's eye from the crowd before I had to retreat to the room.

oOo

Perching on the back of the couch with my slinky silver dress still on I watched as people filed out of the house and into the back yard. The sun was just setting casting a shadow on the people down below but still glittered off my skin for a couple seconds before the sun sank.

I watched people talking and laughing, no one bothered to look up except for a couple people who already knew I was there.

"So where is your new addition Carlisle," someone asked in a friendly voice as Bella and Edward cut the cake and I immediately flicked my eyes to Carlisle seeing him talking to two blonde women, and two people with black hair, a male and female who appeared to be together: Tanya, Kate, Carmen, and Eleazar.

"She couldn't join the festivities," he explained in a low voice, "she has to keep a low profile."

"Oh, I see," Tanya said and Carlisle looked up leading the others eyes to follow inconspicuously. I just looked back down at them for a second before hopping off the couch and onto the bed. I stayed there for about 10 minutes before my curiosity got the better and I took my place on top of the couch again.

I watched as Edward removed Bella's garter making Jasper, Devan and Emmett roar with laughter. Then I saw Edward and Bella's first dance. During the whole thing I had a bright smile on my face until Bella and Charlie took the dance floor and I realized I would never have that; I couldn't.

"Can I go see her?" I heard someone ask and searched for the voice until I saw Emmett and Seth talking both their eyes on me. I gave a slight nod to Emmett.

"Go ahead." He shrugged and I watched him disappear. His footsteps where actually pretty light compared to his size which I wasn't expecting.

"In here Seth," I said and the door opened slowly. "Hey," I smiled and flipped around on the couch.

"Whoa," he stood there wide eyed and I finally caught his scent and wrinkled my nose. "Yeah I agree," he laughed.

"So how are you," I asked patting the back telling him to sit. He looked a little nervous, "I haven't hurt Bella and don't take offense but she smells a lot better than you."

"I know you won't hurt me Piper," he sighed and walked over sitting down.

"Then what's with that look," I pointed to his face.

"It's just…well I don't know how to say this."

"Just spit it out," I laughed.

"I feel horrible for not protecting you enough," He frowned looking down at his hands and I realized how unnatural that frown looked on his face.

"Seth I don't blame you in any way…in fact I'm glad you were there, Riley could have done a lot more to me if you hadn't acted so fast." I saw that he still didn't feel any better, "Please don't blame yourself, Seth. That's going to hurt me more than this ever could." He got a small smile and nodded, "I can do something cool now want to know what it is?"

"Of course," His smile was back.

'I can talk into a person's mind,' I thought to him and watched the surprise cross his face.

"Weird," he looked confused and I let out a tiny laugh.

"I bet the whole thing is a bet weird."

"Just a little but you're still you. I can see it."

"Thanks Seth," I smiled and leaned in giving him a small hug which he returned.

I was moving back into my spot when I heard a new voice to the crowd and looked out seeing Bella and Edward heading out towards a tall muscular figure, "Is that Jacob?"

"It looks like it," Seth said unsurprised, "I've got to go."

"See you later?" I asked and he smiled and nodded. "Bye Seth."

"Bye Piper."

I cautiously watched them together until it looked like they were getting into a fight and I saw Jacob grip onto her arms.

'Bella,' I shouted into all the Cullen's heads and saw their attention turn but Edward was already out there.

Horrified I watched as Seth towed a shaking Jacob away. If Jacob phased right then Seth wouldn't make it out unscathed. Thankfully Sam came out in wolf form and helped push Jacob back and I watched them disappear into the trees.

Quickly enough Bella got herself in check and it appeared as if nothing had happened.

Sighing I tucked my feet up under my chin sitting back up in the back of the couch, watching the rest of the night. When it was just about time for Bella and Edward to leave I went into Alice's room and got her going away dress ready before Esme and Renee came back up and I raced back into my room with Renee missing me totally but Esme just catching the door closing.

"Hey," Emmett whispered and I turned around seeing him sitting on the bed.

"Hi," I smiled and walked over sitting on his lap.

"How are you doing?" He asked.

"With what exactly?" I smiled wrapping my arms around his neck.

"How about we go with the thirst, first."

"I'm good, I've been above it all tonight. The hardest part was probably when I was sitting on my stairs."

"Good," he smiled and leaned in kissing my lips. All too soon he pulled away, "what about having to stay up here?"

"It's been hard but ok," I shrugged.

"I'm sorry this has been so tough on you," He frowned caressing my cheek.

"It's worth it," I gave him a small smile and leaned in kissing his lips. "It sounds like you've got to go," I pulled back hearing everyone go in the house to say goodbye.

"I'll be back up soon," He leaned in kissing my forehead before putting me on the bed and going down stairs to watch them leave in their car with rice still in their hair.
