"Yes, Bella! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!" Alice squealed with such enthusiasm that I wondered what I was getting myself into. I took a deep breath, necessary for me but unnecessary for my beautiful vampire body. Alice had just managed to convince me that Edward and I should go on this huge ocean liner for our 5th anniversary. I had met the Cullen family in 1925. There beauty had amazed me along with everyone else. But unlike my friends I had no problem speaking to them. I grew to be great friends with Rosalie, Emmett, Jasper, and Alice but I had wondered if Edward was meant to be something more to me.
One day when I was walking home from school, I was cornered by two boys. When I saw them I took a step back and tripped down a long flight of stairs. Apparently I broke my left leg, wrist and worst of all, my spine. Miraculously, Carlisle was first on the scene coming in less than 5 minutes. I know now that Alice called him when she saw a vision of me falling and getting seriously hurt. The second person was Edward. His face was contorted in anger and worry. He knelt beside me as Carlisle examined my wounds. He then leaned forward and whispered in my ear "I want you to hold on, Bella. Hold onto life. Carlisle is going to heal you. I will be beside you the entire time and I want you to know something: I love you." At that moment I realized that I loved him too. I saw his eyes, filled with love and worry. Carlisle determined my injuries were too serious to be saved so both Edward and him injected me with their venom into my neck and wrists. The last thing I saw before I became unconscious was Edward's sweet face.
After 3 days of pain that was like nothing I had ever experienced (and I broken many bones) I awoke a vampire, beautiful and deadly. Edward and the family explained everything and were very patient with me. What hurt me most about my new life was seeing my face on posters all around town. My parents were of course, heartbroken at my disappearance. But I sent them a very beautiful card that said that I was sure that their daughter was in a much better place. I'm not sure what happened to them, they moved out of our small town, Carson less than a year after I went missing.
I soon felt that the Cullens were my new family. After Edward and I revealed our love for each other we spent every single moment together. Emmett of course, used that as an opportunity to tease us mercilessly until one day Edward told Alice, Jasper, and me that Emmett had clung to Rose like a teddy bear for the first year.
Now, 5 years later and we still haven't gotten married (mostly because we were afraid that I was not controlled enough to keep from eating the pastor or some guests). We were planning on getting married a year from now. So we are celebrating my 5th vampire birthday and Edwards and mine 5th dating anniversary. Emmett and Rose had gotten us a cute little tabby kitten, which we named Nemo. Alice loved pets and vowed to take care of her whenever we weren't here. Carlisle and Esme had gotten us an airplane (it turns out Edward has a flying license) and Alice and Jasper had gotten us two tickets on a two week cruise. I was a little skeptical about the cruise but Alice quickly convinced me that it would be great fun. Alice was in charge of packing clothes and I could here Edward and her fighting upstairs. "Alice, why are you packing that shirt? I don't like it" "Well Bella really likes it, but if you don't want it...." "No, wait Alice! Pack it!" I snickered quietly. It was funny how much control I had of him.
As the day of the cruise arrived Edward and I hugged all of our family and I kissed the top of Nemo's head while Edward pet her. We took a plane to Los Angeles and boarded the ship. It was funny how much people stared at us. Whenever someone brave came up, showing extreme interest in one of us, Edward would pull me into a kiss and the person left, sulking. The ship left late so most everyone was asleep except for Edward and I. We stared out at the sea and each other of hours. As he was leaning in to kiss we heard swift footstep and a women's voice squeal, "Edward! It must be you, I would recognize your hair anywhere." The mysterious women was definitely a vampire. She had strawberry blond curls that bounced as she moved and a beautiful face. She ran towards him and put her arms around his neck and kissed him hard.
My mouth dropped as I witnessed some strange women kissing my Edward. Hadn't she noticed me?! Thankfully Edward quickly untangled himself from her and pushed her lightly away. She pouted, "Oh, come on Edward! You used to be so much fun. I remember some fun times we had together" she purred. She finally looked behind him and noticed me "Oh, who is this? Some long lost sister? You always were such a kind person, Eddy. She is just staying with you until she gets back up on her feet, I presume." How dare she! Edward and I both snarled." No, Tanya. She is my girlfriend and is staying with me permanently. She is not some charity case" Edward said slowly through clenched teeth.
Tanya's eyes widened as she looked me over. Finally she said "Well I am interested in knowing how that happened." I gasped while Edward coolly ignored her and spoke to me "Love, this is my friend, Tanya Denali" "Don't you mean ex-girlfriend, Eddy?" Tanya said smirking at me. "No" Edward said firmly "Only in your mind we were dating before" "No" Tanya said stubbornly " You acted like we were before she came along." I stared horrified, at Edward. His face only showed anger directed at Tanya. " That was all you, Tanya. I never wanted you as any more than a friend." Tanya stood still for a couple seconds before she hissed "You and I both know that that's not true" She turned with the grace of a ballerina before running off towards the cabins.
Another AN: If you like the first chapter read some more or my other story, A Lesson of Life. It has Tanya in it also. Please review if you think I should continue!
