Another one-shot after a very long time.

I know i haven't updated my stories in ages. I'm sorry, got no time. i've been so busy with everything but this one struck me.

It's inspired by a song. Quite old one, i guess. Can you guess? :D

Wedding March was playing in the background. People stood up from their seats and turned to the door.

The door opened up, revealing the bridesmaids in strapless golden dresses, holding a bouquet of white and pink roses each. The first one was Alice. She was smiling so wide that she was practically glowing. The second was Angela, her glasses were nowhere to be seen tonight, she wore contact-lenses instead. The last was Rosalie, and behind the dress she wore, you could see a small baby bump on her stomach.

But the groom was oblivious to all this. He was holding his breath, waiting for his very-soon-to-be bride to be in sight. He didn't know how her dress looked like. Her sister, Alice, was persisent for it to be surprise. But even so, he's sure she would be the most beautiful one in this room.

"Breath, Edward." Jasper nudged him from the side. He let out the breath he didn't even know he was holding.

Just as he did so, her beautiful bride came out, clutching his dad for her dear life.

"Bella." Edward breathed, and he found himself smiling at her expression. Head looking down, she had a frown on her face, as she concentrated so hard.

And once again, he questioned himself, how this wonderful girl stayed with him even though he'd hurt her.

Edward came home, a look of stressed on his face. He walked past Bella to his bedroom. It's Friday night, where they would hang out in Edward's apartment and had dinner and watched movie. But that Friday had also been the day when he's rejected from the hospital he had applied to. The one he had been very sure of. He could see his girlfriend was confused but he didn't care. He didn't want any companion today. So he went straight to his bedroom and locked the door. Bella knocked a few times, but he just answered that he's tired. She didn't knock again, but he could hear that she's still in the kitchen. He fell asleep then. And when he woke up some time later, he saw on the table that she had prepared his dinner, in case he's hungry. That's what her note said.

He didn't do any better the next day, or the day after or the days after that. He just lost his confidence. His parents had so much faith in him, and so did Bella. And now he disappointed them. He didn't want to meet anyone. Not when his sister came to see him with her fiancée, Jasper. Not when his older brother, Emmett, came with his wife, Rosalie. And not even when Bella came.

His parents called a few times, saying that he could make it the next time. He just said yes, for their sakes. But soon after the call ended, he would be all gloomy again. He said he needed times alone, and one by one, they gave him what he wanted. No calls, no visits. Except Bella, of course. She came every single day after work, since she had the copies of his apartment keys, even though he would be hiding in his room by then. She would make him dinner, left him note and went home after waiting in case he wanted to get out and talk, which he didn't.

This routine went on for weeks. One night, he got out from his room after it was silent outside. But it was not really silent after all. He could hear sobbing coming from somewhere in his living room. It's Bella's voice. He would recognize it anywhere. His mind became frantic. Had she hurt herself? He half ran to the living room, finding Bella sitting on his couch with her head on her knees. She looked up when he came, startled, with tears streaming down her face.

"Edward?" Her voice was a whisper.

In a few second, he's already on his knees, in front of Bella, looking for any sign of injury.

"Are you okay?" He asked. His voice was full of concern.

She let out a shaky breath and threw her arms around him. He stumbled a bit, shocked, but caught himself before both of them fall.

"I am now." She said. For a while, Edward didn't understand. Then he drew back, looking at her right in her eyes.

"You're crying, because of me?" He asked, a pang of pain stabbed his heart.

She didn't answer, instead, she hugged him again. "I've missed you."

He was still for a moment, then he hugged her and buried his head on her neck. "I'm sorry, Bella. I'm sorry. I should have talked to you. I'm sorry for everything I've done wrong."

Bella could feel her shirt was wet, but she didn't say anything. Instead, she just sat there while Edward silently cried.

"I'm sorry for hurting you." He whispered. Bella shook her head. He drew back, once again looking at her eyes. "Don't say I'm not. I've been ignoring you, Bella." He winced. "For weeks."

Bella shook her head again, "Edward. I .."

"But," Edward cut. "Yet here you are. I've hurt you so much but you're still here. Forgive me, Bella, even though I know I don't deserve it."

"Just promise me some things." She said and he nodded quickly.

"Talk to me, about everything." Again, he nodded. "And don't, ever, leave me alone again." She whispered.

"Never." He agreed. "I'm sorry for everything, Bella. And thank you." He said. "For keep holding on."

She was so careful not to step on her own dress and tripped, or worse, bringing her father down with her. No, she's not going to embarrass herself, or her family, or her soon-to-be husband. At the thought of him, she looked up. And her brown eyes met his green ones. A smile broke through her face. All of sudden, she wasn't afraid of tripping. Her feet just led her to him, like always.

They reached the end of the aisle, and Bella's father put his daughter's hand on his son in law's hand.

"Take care of her. Love her." Charlie whispered.

"Always." It's always his answer and always would be.

He turned to his waiting bride, smiled crookedly at her, and turned themselves to the minister.

"Don't worry, Edward. I know you'll do it this time." Bella said, squeezing his hand. "But even if you don't, I'm here."

Edward looked up and smiled at her. She's right. If he's accepted, then it's good. If he's not, then he could always try again. After all, Bella was with her. And he wouldn't hide this time, and wouldn't ever again. All of sudden, he was at ease. "So are you saying that you believe I'll do it or not?"

She laughed, the most beautiful sound to his ears. "Of course I have faith in you." She rolled her eyes and smiled.

And she's right. He did it this time.

When it's Edward's time to say the vow, he started with a smooth voice, full with love.

"I, Edward Cullen, take you Bella Swan to be my wife, my partner in life, and my one true love. I will love you more each day than I did the day before. I will trust you, respect you, laugh with you and cry with you, loving you faithfully through good times and bad, regardless of the obstacles we may face together. I give you my hand, my heart, and my love, from this day forward for as long as we both shall live."

"Alice! You know I hate surprises!" Bella protested when Alice started blindfolding her. In fact, she had protested since Alice came to her apartment with bags in her hands, opened up the bags and took out a gorgeous dark blue dress, make up kits, accessories, and even shoes.

"Oh, you'll love this one!"

"Alice Whitlock." Bella hissed, using her best friend's new name. But Alice didn't say anything as she drove. Once stopped, Bella felt Alice guiding her. And after a long long moment, finally, Alice let her opened her eyes and whispered. "Have fun!"

Bella stared at her surrounding, letting her eyes getting used to the dark. And then a dim light appeared at the centre of that place. She looked around once more. Apparently she's in a restaurant, but no one's there. But then, there's music coming from the piano at the end of the room. Someone's playing it, and by the shadow she could make up in the dark, she knew who it was. Someone she would know anywhere.

She just stood there, not moving at all, staring at the figure. It's too dark, she didn't want to risk falling flat on her face. The music came to a stop, and then, the figure, Edward, came slowly to her. He stopped in front of her, with that breathtaking smile she always loved. But somehow, he seemed nervous.

Bella threw her arms around him and breathing on his scent, her most favorite scent. His arms found their way around her slim waist and he bent down, burying his head on the crook of her neck.

He pulled away some times later and then he suddenly got on one knee. Bella gasped, her hand flew to her mouth, her eyes already wet. In front of her was the most beautiful ring ever. It's simple, not too much, but beautiful. Edward knew her liking too well. She heard him cleared his throat silently.

"Isabella Swan." He began, voice smooth as ever. "You're the most amazing woman I've ever met, apart from my family." He smiled "You're the one holding on to us when I did nothing to stop it from falling apart." I could see from his face that he's remembering to those weeks he ignored me, us. "You have faith in me, much more than I do to myself. You're the one who make me who I am today. Without you I'm nothing. And I never plan to live without you." He took a deep breath. "Bella, will you let me have the honor, of becoming your husband?"

Bella stood there, eyes wide, tears rolled down her cheeks. She didn't answer. Edward looked up nervously, his face fell. Did she finally realize that he didn't worth being with her? Did the realization strike her now?

"Edward, you knew my answer." She finally said. Did he think she would say no?

Edward nodded and started to get up.

"Edward Cullen!" Bella said in a louder voice causing him to stop, startled. "Do you really think I would say no? Are you thinking of getting rid of me after all this time?" She asked in a teasing tone.

Edward smiled wider, his face glowing. "Is that a yes?"

"It's a thousand times yes, Edward. It will always be yes."

He slid the ring on her finger and swept her off her feet. His lips quickly found its way to hers. The he rested his forehead against hers."Thank you, Bella."

Bella raised her eyebrow.

"Thank you, for giving me the chance to love you for the rest of my life. For being the amazing woman you've always been."

Bella's eyes lit up as Edward gazed at her. And she could feel her eyes getting watery as she said her own vow.

"I, Bella Swan, take you Edward Cullen to be my husband, my partner in life, and my one true love. I will love you more each day than I did the day before. I will trust you, respect you, laugh with you and cry with you, loving you faithfully through good times and bad, regardless of the obstacles we may face together. I give you my hand, my heart, and my love, from this day forward for as long as we both shall live."

"I now announce you as husband and wife. You may kiss your bride."

But without the words from the minister, Edward had already kissed his bride.

"I love you, Edward."

"I love you too, Isabella Cullen. Always."
