Chapter 1-
Edward's P.O.V.
I stared at Isabella as she and I danced along with the waltz that was currently playing. Her beautiful brown hair was in curls and she wore a beautiful navy blue evening gown that looked more than lovely on her. She blushed slightly when she noticed I was staring at her in an ungentlemanly way.
"Is there something wrong, Edward?" She asked me in her beautiful musical voice.
"No, nothing is wrong. It is just that there is such a wonderful and beautiful woman in front of me," I replied. My comment caused a light shade of pink to appear on Isabella's cheeks, which made a small smile pull on my lips.
"Thank you," she muttered, taking me aback.
"Why? I didn't plan this even. You're mother and father planned all this out," I explained, lying just a tad bit.
"Even if you didn't plan this…" a small smile played on her lips and she looked me in the eyes with her beautiful brown eyes.
"…you're the one that is making my seventeenth birthday really special. Thank you, Edward," she continued. I smiled the smile that seem to dazzle her and she blushed slightly. The waltz ended and everyone stopped dancing. They turned to look at us and Isabella looked at me with confusion in her eyes. I just smiled.
"Isabella, we have known one another since we were still small children. We have loved one another before we even realized it. I know we are still young but…" my voice faded off and I kneeled down to one knee. Isabella's eyes widened and she opened her mouth to say something but before she could, I cut her off by glaring at her, daring her to say a complaint. I fetched a navy blue velvet box, which matched her dress, with white silk ribbons from the pocket of my tuxedo. I opened the box, revealing a diamond engagement ring and I heard Isabella let out a soft gasp of surprise.
"Isabella Marie Swan, my one and only love, will you become my wife?" My hands were getting shaky and I was terrified that she would reject me. I looked in her eyes and saw tears forming.
Why is she crying? Did I do something wrong? I thought, panic was obvious on my face.
"Edward…" Isabella whispered.
"Y-You do not have to say yes if…" I trailed off with sadness heavy in my voice and I avoided her gaze.
"Edward…I…I would love to be your wife," she said so softly that I barely heard her. I looked back at her and she smile beautifully. I jumped up from my kneeling position and pulled Isabella into a passionate kiss, ignoring the staring eyes of the guests surrounding us. I pulled back and looked at Isabella, my Isabella, with a smile on my face.
"Edward, that was very ungentlemanly of you. I hope that you are aware that there are guests here," she scolded me, embarrassed with what I just did.
"I am not embarrassed to kiss my soon-to-be-wife, especially in front of guests," I stated, amused with her embarrassment. She blushed another shade, darker shade of red and rolled her eyes, looking oh so adorable. I just couldn't believe that I was lucky enough to have this angel in my life.
Several months later…
I looked at my beautiful Isabella as she laid on hospital bed next to mine. The flu epidemic had hit Chicago hard. Isabella, my parents and I have been in the hospital for about a few weeks now. Isabella let out several soft coughs and she turned to face me. Dr. Carlisle entered the room to check up on us.
"How are my father and mother Dr. Carlisle?" I asked the doctor as he wrote some notes down. I was weak and knew I didn't have long. I just didn't want Isabella to go with me.
"I'm sorry Edward, your parents just past away," he replied softly, sadness full in his voice. I just simply nodded and felt a small hand grasp mine. I turned to see Isabella with tears in her eyes.
"E-Edward…" he voice trailed off. I held her small hand, the hand that wore the engagement ring, in mine and looked into her eyes.
"We'll get through this. No matter the problem, through thick and thin, I'll always be with you, my Isabella, my love," I lifted her hand and kissed the engagement ring.
"Promise?" Isabella asked.
"I do solemnly swear with my heart and soul," I promised her wit ha smile and she smiled back, but her smile quickly faded.
"But, how can we escape this catastrophe?" she asked me with worry in her voice.
"I don't know," I answered her truth fully.
"There is one way," Dr. Carlisle said. I had completely forgotten that her was till there.
