Disclaimer: Twilight belongs to Stephanie Meyer, not me.

Edward and Bella are more in love than ever and inseparable. But what if something happens that could keep them apart forever? All human.

Bella's POV

The girl that stared back at me from the mirror was slim with brown hair that was artfully arranged into a bun. She wore long, diamond earrings that sparkled in the light. She was dressed in a glittering dress that flowed to her knees. It was a shade of light blue that reminded me of the ocean. She was well, beautiful.

"So, what do you think?" I turned to see my best friend Alice Cullen, bouncing up and down in excitement. Without waiting for me to answer, she exclaimed, "You're gorgeous!"

I chuckled lightly and glanced at her fondly. Her energy never ceased to amaze me. She was like a little energizer bunny that kept going and going…

"You do too."

It was true. Alice had straightened her short, black hair that was usually spikier. She was dressed in a floor-length halter red dress that fit her figure perfectly. Her makeup extenuated her exotic beauty and her glittering earrings completed the look.

"I told you this was going to be a good idea." Alice had pestered me for the last few weeks to go to prom. I usually avoided dances like the plague, but refusing Alice was hard enough. Then, she had enlisted Charlie's help and with both of them pressuring me, I had agreed.

I muttered out an unintelligible response and shrugged. I didn't have to say anything. Alice was already beaming, knowing she was right. Instead of fueling the fire, I turned towards the window. A red convertible was idling in the driveway, next to the parked limousine that was supposed to take us to prom.

"Jasper and Rosalie are here." I felt some of Alice's excitement seep into me at the prospect of seeing my friends.

Alice's excitement shot up. "I can't wait to see Jazz!" She bounded out the door, pulling me with her. I followed her out into the hall and down the Cullen's huge staircase.

Jasper and Rosalie were already standing at the bottom. Jasper was dressed in a tuxedo, looking handsome. He was holding a huge bouquet of roses. His face lit up the second he saw Alice. She danced to his side and they gazed at each other. The moment was so private that I felt the need to look away.

Rosalie was standing next to him, looking even more beautiful than usual. Her silky blonde hair was twisted up into an elaborate bun. She was wearing a glittering pink dress that flowed over her curves and made her look graceful.

The door opened and Emmett strode in. He grinned at Alice, Jasper, and me before taking Rose into his arms. They began to kiss so passionately that Jasper exclaimed, "Get a room!" Again, I felt the urge to look away- not because they wanted privacy, but because I thought I would be sick if I watched their intimacy anymore.

The door opened again and I felt as though my heart would stop. It was Edward. He was dressed in a tuxedo and looked more amazing than anyone had the right to. He smiled crookedly and kissed me lightly. I leaned into the kiss but it was over all too soon. Pulling away, Edward murmured, "You look beautiful."

"You do to." I said, "I mean- you look beautiful the way a guy would- I mean you look handsome." My face burned as I noticed how stupid I sounded.

Edward chuckled and kissed me again. His grin widened when he realized how much this affected me.

The door opened again and Carlisle and Esme Cullen walked in, hand in hand. Esme was one of the sweetest women I had ever met and Carlisle was extremely caring. They were made for each other and deeply and completely in love.

"Hi sweetie," Esme said, giving me a quick hug. I noticed the camera in her hand a moment before Edward did.

"Mom," he complained.

Emmett echoed his dismay, and Alice looked impatient. "We have to get going!" she urged.

"It will just take a moment." Carlisle said.

Esme nodded in agreement, "Couples first."

Jasper sighed good-naturedly and stepped forward with Alice. Their arms were around each other and they could barely keep their eyes off each other. It was incredible how different they were- Alice was tiny and so full of life, while Jasper was taller and so much more serious and thoughtful. Yet, they were perfect for each other- like two halves of a whole.

Emmett and Rose were next. I was amazed that they had stopped kissing long enough to take the picture. With their arms encircled around each other, they both grinned into the camera. Unlike Alice and Jasper, their relationship was mostly physical but they made each other happier than anything else in the world.

Esme motioned for Edward and me to step forward. I leaned into his arms grinning. I knew I wouldn't forget this night and I was grateful that Alice had forced me to go.

Several pictures later, Edward pulled me aside, ignoring his brother's cat calls. "I have something for you," he murmured, pulling out a corsage made of lilacs that went perfectly with my dress.

I let him pin it on me and then kissed him. "I love you," I whispered.

"Me too," he murmured, "More than you can imagine."

"Come on you love birds." Alice interrupted, "The limo's waiting." She rolled her eyes at us, obviously exasperated.
