a/n So this is my first Twilight Fanfic. I've only ever read one other one and that was by accident-I thought it was a Harry Potter one. So I don't really know if this plot has been used to much already or what. Bear with me. I'm usually more into writing HP. So I hope you enjoy and please review after so I know what you guys thought of it. Thanks. Oh and the first few lines are taken out of the book but altered a bit. Enjoy.

"…If you want me to be the one to change you, then you have to meet one condition."
"Condition?" I could feel my breathing getting faster, "What condition?"
"Marry me first."
I was so shocked, that was the last thing I expected to come out of his mouth. Not that I didn't love hearing it, it was just a shock, "Edward, please be serious," I said, "That's not funny," again he did the last thing I thought he would do. He grabbed my hand and knelt down on one knee.
"Bella, I love you like I never thought I could or would. You are the best and worst thing that has ever happened to me and only you know the exact truth behind that. I've made some bad choices over the last year and you don't know how much I regret each and every one of them. I did it all for you, but I can see now that running and hiding was not the answer to our problems. The right thing to do is what I'm doing now. So please, I love you Isabella Swan, will you marry me?"
By now I had tears streaming down my face, but I didn't bother to wipe them away.
"I don't have a ring with me now," he took me not answering for a no, "but we can go get one as soon as you want to. Or I can pick it out and surprise you if that's what you'd rather have," he added the last part in a haste.
My mouth was opened to form a reply, the words just hadn't gotten out when the door suddenly flew open. Standing in the doorway was a fuming mad Charlie. I glanced quickly over at Edward, never had he missed noticing that someone was approaching like this before. Why now?
"What the hell do you think you're doing in here you foul piece of trash," Charlie cursed. His face was growing purpler by the second and the vein in his neck was pulsing. If I didn't know him better I would have been scared for my safety, "How did you even get in here. Did Bella let you in?" he turned to me and I shuddred.
Obviously Edward knew something more than I because he in one swift motion stepped between Charlie and myself. Charlie had to look up to look Edward in the eyes and I could tell he did not like that one bit.
"Bella and I were just discussing something and then I'll be gone," Edward said smoothly. Always the calm one was he. I loved him even more if that was even possible.
"Get out of my house before I throw you out. I don't want to see you anywhere near my daughter again. Bella come on," Charlie growled. This time he meant business and Edward stepped aside.
A shocked look registered on Charlie's face. He hadn't been expecting us to give up this easily. Edward roughly grabbed my arm and steered me past Charlie.
"Char…Dad," I begged. The tears had already returned to my eyes and they were no longer tears of joy. I hated to see Charlie hurt, "Please I don't want you to be mad."
"Bella I don't want you to get hurt again. For months you looked like the living dead, you were finally recovering and this…this thing waltz back in like nothing has happened. He left you in the forest Bella, abandoned you. Broke your heart…"
"I know Dad, but we've talked. It was all a big misunderstanding."
"Yeah Chief Swan, I thought Bella wanted me gone so I left and when I found out how much I hurt her, well I don't think I'll ever be able to forgive myself," Edward tried to reason.
"Bella I still don't want you anywhere near this boy. You hear that son; I don't want you within a hundred feet of my daughter? Is that clear?"
"Crystal," Edward murmured.
"Now out," Charlie roared.
Edward pulled me towards him and we quickly embraced. While we were embracing he whispered something quietly in my ear, so quietly that Charlie would never have been able to hear it even if he strained his ears, "I love you. I'll be back in a few minutes and I expect an answer."
He kissed me with those oh so tender lips and then he was gone and I was left to wallow in my own self pity. It wasn't long before Charlie stormed back up the stairs and barged right back into my room.
"And a good morning to you too," I muttered. It was the wrong thing to say and I knew it even before it left my lips.
"Bella you are forbidden, do you understand FORBIDDEN to see that boy again. I've never seen you like this. What has gotten into you? First you are like a Zombie and then right when I think things are about to improve you fall to pieces again. Since when has it been okay to leave for three days without any clue why you are gone and not even a phone call? I was worried sick. I thought you had been kidnapped; dead!" he stopped but only to catch his breath because he started right back up again, "You are grounded; until you graduate. You go to work, school and then come straight home. No fun stuff, no funny business."
I think he wanted me to protest but I didn't. I knew that nothing would stop Edward and I from being together now.
"Bella you may not see this now but it's for your own good," he replied softer this time, almost caringly, "When somebody's in love they don't always see reason. I should know, your mother and I were like that. I don't want to see you get hurt again. It kills me to see you like you were."
"Okay Dad," I nodded, "I guess I understand. Now can I get some sleep please, I'm absolutely exhausted?"
"No, it's time to get up. You have stuff to do downstairs."
Charlie walked out of the room and I sighed, he wasn't going to let me out of his sight for a very long time. Sure enough when I walked out into the hallway Charlie was standing at the bottom of the staircase leaning against the banister, "Chop, chop get moving."
"Oh Edward," I said softly, for I could sense that he had returned again. That was one comfort, that I didn't have to go through this alone and when night came I could be with him once again."
