You know, I have decided to dedicate this lovely chapter to my friend Brianna, since she helped me get out of the tough parts, and Ryan, because he is just cool like that.
The pain. No, I wasn't being turned, and that displeased me very much. I was still a human, and that came with the pains of just living. Of course, for me, that was, like, everyday. I did usually trip over my own two feet almost two or three times a day. I just hurt myself doing one of the annoying nuances that girls have to do. I had accidentally cut myself with my stupid razor, and a small line of blood was forming, starting to run in a smooth line down my 'dainty' (as Edward might put it) leg.
I quickly stopped the flow with a band-aid, and clean the blood off. I would've done it anyway, but now I was especially careful, what with Edward's 'problem' you might say. His self-control might just snap one day, and I'll be the unfortunate victim of the heinous act.
Today started the day that was supposed to be the best day of my teenage life…graduation. Of course, I had other motives as to why this was the best day of my life. If I played my cards right, and didn't piss of Edward, he might change me, instead of letting Carlisle do it. Hopefully, nothing will fall through on us. That wouldn't make me very happy. Oh, Edward would be ecstatic, but not me.
Eventually I emerged from my human moment, clothed in one of Edward's favorite outfits, ready to go. He smiled at me. To tell you the truth, it was kind of hard to get used to having him back, and then it was even harder to think that he wouldn't leave me again.
He walked over to me, and I noticed that he had run off to the Cullen's mansion and changed. Unfortunately, he wasn't wearing black. Black made him look hotter than he already was. It was a contrast thing, I guess.
"My Bella…" Edward murmured. I felt a blush creep up to my cheeks. Yup, still his Bella, and still a little nervous that he would up and break my heart again.
"Edward…" I stated, moving closer to his ice-cold, stone-like body. He ran a cold finger down my not so cold jaw line. That brought a stupid interrupting smile to my face, which made him stop. "How many times must I tell you that you should wear black more often?"
He smiled again, and laughed his melodic laughter. "Silly Bella…you should always have to ask me at least once more. Now I have a question for you. How many times do I have to tell you that I love you?"
I blushed. Dang blood. That was probably one of the worst things about being human, to me at least, since I hated to blush. Edward thought that my blushes were adorable. At least if I became a vampire, I wouldn't blush anymore. So what if Edward didn't like that? He'd find something else to like better. I must've looked as if I was thinking really hard, because he had to say something.
"Penny for your thoughts?" he asked. It must really be frustrating to be able to hear others thoughts, but when it comes to the thoughts you want to hear the most, it is like the silent treatment.
"Oh, you don't want to know." I replied. Every time I mention being changed, he gets mad. I couldn't understand why. But, his reply to that question was always a question. Why did I want to be a murdering demon (his words, not mine.)?
"I'm not quite sure about that. I am always interested in what you think." Edward said. Yeah, right, except when it comes to thinking about being change. Well, I'd just lie.
"I was thinking about our future…if we'd ever get married. Ifyou'dchangeme." I replied. I added the last part on, hoping that even his vampiric hearing wouldn't catch it.
"What was that?" he asked, kissing the top of my head. Maybe he didn't hear the last part. Or, maybe he was just ignoring it? Good. Well, we'll worry about that later.
"Yeah, you heard me, Mr. Vampire. Amazing hearing, and all that, right?" I asked him, sarcastically. Then, I smiled. Around him, that is almost all I could do, that is how awed I usually was.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever Mrs. Cullen." he said. I had been walking towards my bedroom door, but after Edward said that, I just stopped in my tracks. Yeah, just stopped.
"Mrs. Cullen?" I managed to get out. That was the first time I had ever heard him say that. "Since when did you start saying that?" Not that I actually care, I added in my head.
"I started since I decided to marry you…eventually." he stated, completely unembarrassed. Of course, he might've been, but after living roughly 100 or so years, and the lack of blood to actually show a blush kind of made it hard to show any embarrassment.
"Really…?" I asked breathless. I started to walk towards him, but he stopped me with a kiss. Yeah, I totally forgot how to breathe there for a minute. Eventually, though, I had to move away, because my lungs felt as if they were shrinking without air.
"Yes." was all he uttered, his icy breath washing over me. God, I love vampires. Especially my vampire. I moved to kiss him again, but his cold fingers stopped me.
"What?" I asked. I had sounded like a breathless teenager. But hey, I was a breathless teenager.
"Wait. At least until after graduation." he stated. Edward grabbed my arms, and marched me from my room. Charlie had already left, and had placed a note on the kitchen table. He said he was going to work for a while, until graduation. Good thing, too. Charlie can't seem to stand Edward (what with the whole leaving me alone, breaking my heart thing that happened earlier that year).
"Fine…" I said, acting like a two-year that didn't get her way. He laughed. Eventually, I had to have another human moment, and eat. He sat there, and just watched me. It was kind of creepy to have him stare at me, like a stalker, but I decided I could handle it. Hopefully, I would have to partake in another human moment that disrupted our time together for a while.
Soon enough my cereal was gone, and the bowl cleaned. Edward dragged me out to his silver Volvo, and essentially shoved me in. Then he ran around to his side (in less than 1.5 seconds), and slid into his seat. We had to go to the Cullen's 'mansion' before heading to graduation, since Alice needed to be with us as well.
When we got to the house, Alice was standing outside, with Jasper. He still made me feel a little uneasy, after what happened at my eighteenth birthday party. He kissed Alice, and she slid in the backseat. Apparently, she had very good news, because her eyes were dancing.
"Guess what I saw?!" she asked in an annoying singsong voice. Yeah, those visions really seemed to either make her happy or depress her. She apparently started talking to Edward in one of those silent vampire conversations, because Edward shook his head as if answering a question.
"I've decided." was all he said to her, leaving me out in the cold.
"Well, that's good. Maybe I won't be bombarded with so many stupid visions about you changing your mind."
"What?" I asked him. He didn't answer, so I changed tactics, and turned to Alice. "What?" I asked her. Maybe it was a good vision. But, she didn't say anything, which didn't make me any happier. I glared at Edward. He was obviously the reason I wasn't allowed to be told anything.
"What?" he asked solemnly, looking at me, not the road.
"Edward!!" I screeched. He was going nearly 120 mph, and wasn't even watching the road. Idiot. I could be killed, even if they couldn't. "Watch the freaking road!!"
I've been told by various members of the Cullen family that I should be used to vampire driving, after two years of it, but I wasn't. After all, I am only human. But...there was a good thing about riding with a vampire. The car rides were never very long at all. Pretty soon, we were turning onto the road that led to Forks High School. I wrinkled my nose at the decorations for graduation. It wasn't pretty in the least sense to me.
Alice smirked. "Well, Mike apparently did a good job at telling Jessica and Andrea what to do, don't you think?" she asked.
"Oh, whatever!" I said. "Mike couldn't even say anything with Jessica around, she never shuts up!" I looked around at Edward, and he had a smirk that played with his lips. He knew I was still staring at his startling features, and that smirk evolved into his crooked smile that I fell in love with.
"True to that." Alice stated. Edward and I just laughed.
After that, I watched the scenery as we pulled up to the school, and smoothly parked. We all unbuckled our seatbelts (habit for Edward and Alice), and filed out. Edward and Alice got out gracefully. I, however, am not that graceful. I got out and ended up on the ground. Wouldn't have been too bad, but then again, I was Bella Swan.
A/N: Yeah, I know. Cliffhanger. But this is my first fanfic (about Twilight that is), and I wanted to see how it would catch on first. Btw, I'm currently typing up chapter two, so you won't have to wait too long if I decide to post the rest.
