Chapter 1: Waking Up!
I woke up in a daze. Was it really time for it? Was I ready?
"Good Morning Love," my guardian angel, well, vampire Edward was leaning on the door post across the room. He smiled my favorite crooked smile.
"Goody Morning Edward," my voice was not to convincing.
"Bella what's the matter? You don't sound very happy. Is it about the wedding?"
There was worry in those gorgeous eyes of his. Topaz and burning he stared at me. Dazzling me once again, after many times I have asked to him to stop he still proceeds. Could I lie to them……no!
"I'm not sure," I sighed. All I knew was that my stomach was killing me and I all he sudden felt very nervous. I couldn't put my finger on it but it probably had something to do with the fact that I was indeed getting married very soon and my human life was passing shortly before my eyes. I didn't know whether or not to be happy or sad or embarrassed or joyful. All I could think about was Jacob, My Vampire life, and the wedding and neither of them seemed comforting. I had to grin and bare it though because today was August our wedding day and I could not let Edward know that I was feeling so nervous.
Marriage. It seemed so final so nerve racking. I couldn't possible wait until it was over. I love Edward with all my heart and soul but I was strictly terrified of what lay ahead of me. I really needed to focus on other things maybe even consider how Alice was going do me up today. I was going to be spending hours with her getting ready even with the vampire speed. The good thing is I concluded that I would be with Edward forever and that made me smile. Even though Edward would not approve I knew he would change me after our agreements. I promised that he could get me a new car which he painfully did after my truck breathed its last breathe of life. It was some European car that is not available in America. The Cullen's had their way of getting a hold of those kinds of things. Since they had tons of money to waste they could do those sorts of things.
I sank back into my sheets remembering what has gone on these past couple of months. Bella Cullen. When I first moved to Forks, I had no idea that I would be in love with a vampire and now be marrying the love of my life. I just had thought I would go to school, have new friends, and graduate. That plan probably dissolved as soon as I met Edward Cullen and his family of vampires. Bella Cullen. I think it has a lovely ring to it. Unfortunately it took us a very long to time to convince Charlie it did.
I was shaking all over trying to figure a way out of it. No Bella! You must tell him now! He would want to know now rather then later. Edward leaned in and gave me a kiss. His icy lips touched mine. I loved how he made my heart do funny things. It was one of the things I loved about him. He made my heart flutter even faster than it already was. It is a good thing Edward is bullet proof. I thought. I knew that once Charlie had found out he would blow his top and I knew I could not handle that. After what has just happened I don't know if I can take anymore excitement. Victoria had really racked my nerves. Considering that she almost killed my love, injured my favorite mechanic, and almost ruined my family I had my reasons. Edward survived and that's what matters most. I have this feeling that it is not over, because it never is. I'm a danger magnet.
"Bella is that you?" a light flicked on in the house and I knew I was in trouble how late was it again? We opened the door and walked awkwardly in.
"Yes it is Edward and I Ch-dad!" His face was not so skin colored anymore. It had turned a vibrant shade of red which could only mean that we were in for it. Charlie doesn't like Edward that much. He still hasn't gotten over what happened last year.
I shivered and pushed the memory away, not now Bella not now!
"Isabella Swan, you were supposed to be home two hours ago!" He turned another shade of red. "I don't know whether to be angry you are late or happy you are safe." Don't waste your lecture now Dad you should wait until you hear the good part.
"I'm so sorry Dad we lost track of time at dinner." I was never a very adequate liar but for now that would do. What was I supposed to tell him? Dad the reason we were late is because well a group of vampires were coming to kill me in revenge for Edward. Did I ever tell you Edward is a blood-sucking vampire well, animal blood sucking vampire. That's okay right? Oh! And Jacob is a werewolf and him and his packs were helping the other Cullen's defeat the newborn vampires. Do you understand Dad? The conversation swirled in my head. I needed to get my mind of Charlie's ranting for awhile. I knew that once we told Charlie it was all over and there was no going back because he would be furious. Edward was trying to calm him down.
"Sir, I am so sorry," all I could do was listen to his angelic voice, "it won't happen again. You have my word."
"It had better not!" Charlie had nothing more to say and stomped off to the kitchen. We sat with him, silently. Every second ticked on for ages until I noticed that Charlie was staring at my hand. Oh no….. If he was putting A and B together it would be the end of me. What was he thinking? Edward tensed beside me and I knew the damage was about to be good. Wait, where is his gun at? I looked around. Phew… It was on the hook. I should have made sure he did not have that on him when we sat down.
My breathing started to rise as well as my heart. I could feel myself becoming sick. I blushed so hard I thought my face was going to explode. Edward must have noticed. What am I going to do? I swear sometimes that Edward can read my thoughts because he reached over and patted my hand and whispered ever so slightly so Charlie wouldn't hear, "It will be okay love." That slowed my breathing a little.
Charlie was staring at my hand again! "Bella what is on your hand," way to go Charlie! Ready, set, go! Edward eyed me and started to talk.
"I gave it to her sir," he was trying to make Charlie's face go down one shade. It was not working.
"Don't you think that's just a little too expensive for a girlfriend-boyfriend ring?"
"DAD?!" I was so embarrassed; I started to blush. Of course Charlie had done the addition and I was finished. Any stupid person would think that it was a promise ring. Charlie on the other hand…..
"It's okay Bella I have this," he sounded so sure but I knew it couldn't be possible. My heart went up even more decibels and I fell like it was going to leap out of my chest at any time now. I knew that this could only end in a couple of solutions. I wanted to keep waiting but I knew that would not be a correct way to handle it. I had to figure out how to keep myself calm and keep Charlie from blowing up. I knew that we had slim options. My second option may be to leave and let Charlie and Edward battle it out. The only other option was just to sit here and wait it out. The thing is I wasn't worried about telling Charlie. I was more worried about the after shock and how he would react after the good news was sprung on him.
"Well sir, B-" Thunk… All I remember after that was falling unconscious.
