It's been exactly two years since my life changed forever. Yes, I've been counting. I still remember that day as if it were yesterday, seeing Jared look at me like he had never seen me before, like I was the most beautiful girl in the world.
That day, my life changed. I'm still deciding whether it was for the better or the worse but one thing is for certain, it changed. That was the day I was exposed to the dark and seductive world of werewolves and vampires. Once you're shown something like that it's hard to walk away. From the second you first see the boy you love change into a huge wolf you say goodbye to your old life and let your new one become tied to the lives of all those who have fallen victim to the same fate.
Some of them, like Embry and Emmett, couldn't be happier. They're the type who seems to have been waiting for the mythical world lurking in the shadows to call them in.
Others, like Esme and Carlisle, don't seem to be as perfect for their new world but they make the most of the opportunity and flourish. These souls would be able to fit in anywhere so the supernatural is just another adventure.
Then you get the one's who resent the experience with every fiber of their being. Leah is a prime example of this. She tries to move on from the bad things that the mythical world has brought upon her but it just keeps throwing more curve balls.
These categories aren't all that are found though. Bella and I fall into the confused but accepting category. We were dragged halfway into the new world and had no choice but to let it consume us completely. Seth tries to keep the "different" side of his life in a separate area. When he's not on patrol he tries to be a normal kid with normal problems. It works great for him but for others like Jacob it's impossible to not be drawn in fully.
Today Jared proposed. I don't know whether he chose the day because he remembered it was our "anniversary" or if it's just a coincidence. I said yes. It's going to be a beautiful wedding in the meadow in the woods. I can already see my dad walking me down the aisle and Jared waiting for me at the altar.
The Cullen's will be there. If the pack tries to stop me inviting them I'll get Seth to help me persuade them. Our lives are so intertwined with the Cullen's that it would be wrong to ignore them. And Alice knows her dresses.
Of course that will still be in a while. We're staying engaged for the near future. Not only am I about to go to College but Jared still needs money for the wedding after blowing it all on my gorgeous diamond ring (which is now stored safely in my cupboard).
College is going to be hard. Without the supernatural around me I'll feel empty and incomplete. Normal people and their normal lives just seem so fickle to me now. But teaching is my dream and I need a diploma for that.
Looking into Jared's eyes makes me feel better. No matter what we go through, we'll always have each other. It's not because of the imprint, that's just an excuse for us to love each other even more. Our love is complete, pure and never ending. It's perfect.
