Your Guardian Angel
——
Disclaimer: Sadly, I do not own any characters in Twilight or New Moon. This is what I want to happen after New Moon. FORGET THE PREVIEW FOR ONE MOMENT! Its my own current thinking on the future of Bella and Edward, that I can only think of until Eclipse comes out. Then ill probably, actually make a real storyline. And a note to all readers, im not the greatest at writing first person.
Chapter one: Last Day
"Bella, wake up" Edward's soft velvet voice whispered in my ear. " I don't think you want to miss your graduation." He started to hum the traditional graduation song, Pomp and Circumstance.
"No" I mumbled as I pulled myself up from my pillow. Edward met me with a kiss on the forehead. " Do you seriously think im going to miss my graduation, after everything that has happened? After all the promises that were made?"
"Im a man of my word." Edward said as he helped me out of bed. I wasn't quite awake yet, everything was still a blur. "Charlie is making breakfast downstairs. Smells like meat."
"smells like bacon" I replied. I grabbed my clothes and headed for the bathroom.
"I'll see you in a few minutes." Edward climbed out through my window. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't hide my happiness. Edward has kept his promise so far, and in three days, he would change me, and I could be with him forever.

Charlie was waiting for me in the kitchen. Which at the moment, was filled with smoke. I gave a small laugh.
"Good Morning, Bells. Happy graduation." Charlie dropped the eggs he was holding to come and hug me.
"Do you need some help." I flinched as the eggs hit the counter, bursting into a mass of yoke.
"No, no, I can do it. You just sit and relax." Charlie went back to the burning bacon in the skillet.
"Hurry up, Edward" I said to myself. At that moment, the doorbell rang and I jumped from my chair to get it.
"Good morning." Edward said as I opened the door. He handed me a dozen red roses.
" They're beautiful." I stepped sideways to let him in. Edward kissed my forehead, and then my lips. He only held the kiss for a moment.
"Smells like Charlie is going to burn the house down." He whispered as we walked into the kitchen.
"Hello Edward." Charlie said blankly. He still wasn't over what had happened a few weeds earlier.
"Hi Charlie." Edward sat down at the table while I filled a vase with water for the roses. I set them carefully on the center of the table. Edward pulled out a single rose and put it away, I had no idea where.
Suddenly, Charlie placed a charred black plate of food in front of me.
"Do you want anything, Edward?" Charlie asked politely.
"No thank you." Charlie was used to Edward not eating anything.
I poked around at the charred food, sneaking it into my napkin. Charlie finished his early.
"Sorry for leaving so soon. I don't want to be late. You two don't be late either." He pulled on his gun belt and coat. Then went out the door. He gave Edward one last suspicious look before he closed the door.
I immediately cleaned off my plate into the trash can, and grabbed a pop-tart from the cabinet.
"That was a delicious breakfast." I said sarcastically. "But at least Charlie tried."
"Come on. We don't want to be late." Edward wrapped his arms around me and pulled me out of the house into his shiny Volvo. Immediately, he sped off towards the school.
"Today is going to be terrible. I hate last days of school, but the last day of high school? If anyone cries, that'll be the death of me. I hate it when people cry."
"Why?" Edward asked curiously.
"At first I just bothers me, and then sometimes, it makes me want to cry."
"Its your last day of school, as a human. You should cry." He laughed. I think he was getting used to the whole idea about me changing. I know I wasn't worried about it. The only thing I was still worried about was Edwards proposal. He loved me, and I loved him, but I didn't want to marry him yet.
The car came to a stop, and I looked up to see we were at the school. Edward reached for the door handle.
"Hang on a second." I grabbed his arm. "I want to talk to you first." What was I thinking?
"What's wrong?" Edward turned to face me.
"Its about you proposing to me." I told Edward he could propose in eighteen months.
"oh. What about it?"
"Im moving your time limit up." He looked excited at my decision, but I don't think he wanted to show that excitement.
"To when?" He gave a small grin.
"Now." What the heck was I thinking. Edward got out of the car and came around to my door. He opened it and extended a hand. I took it. As soon as I was out of the car he pulled a ring box out of his pocket. I gasped.
"Alice." I said under my breath. She must have told Edward what I was going to do. Edward kneeled down on one knee.
"Isabella Swan, will you marry me?" His velvet voice was irresistible. Edward opened the box to reveal a small sapphire ring off-set with diamonds. And why was it that I just now noticed that almost the entire school was watching. Alice was standing near the back of the Volvo.
"…Yes." I answered. A wide grin spread across his face, showing all of his glimmering white teeth. Edward carefully slid the ring onto my left finger. I couldn't help but let a single tear of happiness escape my eyes.
Edward stood up and kissed me, his cold body pressed against me. Sudden cheers erupted from the parking lot. I looked away from Edward to see that Angela and Ben had joined Alice at the back of the Volvo.
"Congrats, Bella!" Angela and Ben said in unison. Alice just sighed.
"Finally. I thought it would never happen." She came to give me a hug.
"Thanks for warning him," I whispered in her ear. "or else I might have never gotten this rock." I looked down to the sparkling ring on my finger. Alice broke the embrace.
"Now your one of the family." She said.
"Not fully." I replied. Edward still had to turn me into a vampire. Suddenly, Edward's cold arms were wrapped around my body. I could feel his breath on my neck.
"Come on. Lets get to class." Edward pulled me across the parking lot. I couldn't help but break into a fit of giggles. I would be with Edward forever.
——
The rest of the day, I couldn't help thinking about the downside of my decision. How would I tell Charlie and Renee? Charlie would probably kill me, after attempting to kill Edward. But I knew Renee would understand.
The final bell was a happy sound. Everyone said their good-byes. Tomorrow would the last day I would see my friends. My last night with Charlie in our small home. My last night with Renee, my dear mother who taught me everything.
Edward interrupted my last thought. "Come Bella. I want to show you something."
