Prom Night
Pain
"I already told you, Edward. Before you and I started going out, I already approved Tyler's invitation to prom!" I nearly shouted. I kept telling him millions of times that I can't go with him and he still doesn't understand.
"You can always cancel, you know. To be with me instead of that vile and wretch wannabe." Edward was running all impatient today. He wanted to be my partner but ugh! I already told him everything!
"I know, I know. It's just complicated if I'm all messing up Tyler's plans. Don't you trust me?" I wanted to cry, but I couldn't. I feel sorry for Edward but he could just give me some little or tiny bit of trust that I won't fall in love with Tyler, then everything's all settled. I stepped toward him and hugged him around his waist. He sighed.
"I trust you, a lot. I just don't want to spend a night without you. Especially if you're going to look so beautiful that night." He wrapped his hands around me and I could here him groan and sigh.
"How about you go with someone else?" I asked. Though I don't really – no, I don't want this decision – it's the only way to keep him busy without me. I trust him that he won't like someone else because I heard him tell me that and I laid everything on him and he gladly accepted it.
The reaction I got from him was unexpected. He immediately pulled away and placed both of his hands on my shoulders to take a look at me. He was probably curious if I was still awake or I was just that drunk.
"Are you crazy? I mean, why would you say that? Do you think there's someone here in school that looks more beautiful than you?" He raised an eyebrow and he looked confused.
"Duh, Edward. There are so many beautiful girls around here and I'm not pretty. I can't understand you. Here in school there are about 100 girls and you chose me. There are other pretty girls like Ruth Greene. She's also a senior and I'm not as half beautiful as her bec-" he laid one cool finger to my lips to make me stop.
"You're out of your mind, Bella. I don't like anyone here except you! Are you sleepy? I'll let you sleep. I think you're probably dreaming right now." He chuckled but I didn't join the joke.
"Seriously, Edward. I won't mind if you'll ask someone instead of me. I'll understand that. In fact she's pre- Wah!" He swung me up to his shoulders and carried me upstairs to my bedroom. Charlie was out with the Clearwaters'. He said he'll be back in the middle of the morning.
Just when I heard the loud creak of my bedroom, he laid me gently in my bed, tucked me in the quilt. He stroked my cheek with the back of his hand and he kissed my forehead.
"We'll have this discussion tomorrow at school, alright?" his face was just centimeters from mine and just his cool, sweet breath made me sleepy.
"Alright. Stay with me," I asked a favor. He simply smiled and dashed beside me in the bed. He looked like he teleported or something. Edward and his family were after all, supersonic vamps.
"Of course, Bella. I won't leave you." He rolled his eyes and placed his cool hand around me. I snuggled in his chest.
"Goodnight," I murmured in his chest.
"Goodnight, Bella." His voice was like music.
He hummed my melody softer and just the sound of his sickly sweet voice made me sleep in his cold arms.
***************************************
"Bella, wake up." Edward's velvety voice said.
"Hmm?" I rubbed my hands on my eyes as I stretched and yawned.
He gently kissed my forehead. "Time for breakfast. C'mon, I'll carry you."
He carried me on his back all the way downstairs. I was still wearing my pajamas and sweats and my hair looks all messy from sleeping. He put me down on the dining chair and I stretched and yawned one more time.
"Charlie?" I asked, my voice was still weak.
"He left an hour ago. He left you with some fried eggs and bacon. He thought that you needed a break from cooking," he placed the smelly fried eggs and bacon in front of me as I dabbed a fork to the bacon and chewed.
"Oh," I bent down and focused on what I was eating.
"I'll wait for you here while you prepare yourself. I'll be waiting for you outside."
"Yeah, sure."
He looked at me while I was eating, not breaking his gaze. It was embarrassing, watching you while you're eating. But I was already used when Edward does that to me.
After eating my meal, I washed the dishes and went upstairs. I washed myself completely and brushed my teeth fiercely. I wore my usual jeans, shirt and jacket with my school bag and some other stuff. I ran down the stairs which explains why I stumbled. Edward caught me before my face could smash the floor.
"Alice called and saw your nose bleeding," he chuckled and rolled his eyes. He took my hand and towed me outside to his shiny Volvo.
"Warm and comfy," I murmured as I got inside his car. I heard a musical laughter before he got inside his driver seat.
"You should ride with me everyday," he took my hand and kissed the back of it. I smiled and gave him a kiss on the cheek. He chuckled.
He turned the engine on and the quiet purr of the machine was insanely comforting together with the soft jazz playing in the background. He held my hand all the way to school as I stared outside.
He parked in his usual parking space with the red convertible on his right side. He opened the door for me and I stepped outside. The cool breeze kissed my cheek. I looked at the sky and saw the huge, lumpy gray clouds covering the sky. I sighed and walked toward the school. Edward's arms are wrapped around my shoulders as we walked together.
"Edward," I called out when we're already in the shade of the cafeteria.
"Yes?" He turned to me and I stared at his warm, golden butterscotch eyes. It was nothing compared to my milk chocolate ones.
"We'll talk about it later at lunch, okay?" I hugged him and stretched my toes up to give him a quick peck in his lips. I saw some other seniors and juniors stop as they saw me hugging Edward and the started to look surprised when I kissed him.
"Sure." He wrapped his hand around me.
"Now, let go of me before I couldn't stand not hugging you." We both chuckled. We held each other's hands as we entered our first period, Biology.
No one dared to look at us as we sat in our usual seats in the middle of the room.
Mr. Banner reminded us to be ready for the upcoming prom. I heard Edward groaned and I looked at him. His hands were balled up into fists and his jaw was clenched. He was looking away from me. I don't know of it was thirst or prom. Instead, I took his hands and wrapped it around mine. I saw the eyes of Jessica and Lauren behind us flickered to our hands and then they glared coldly. He looked at me and suddenly got worried. His jaw was no longer clenched and his hands were now intertwined with mine.
"Are you okay?" I whispered, hiding my face from Mr. Banner.
"Yes, I'm sorry." He looked so sad.
I left my eyes from his face because I couldn't bear to look at him longer. Everything was my entire fault. I was about to cry just before Mr. Banner dismissed the class. I got up and prepared my things.
"I need to go to the comfort room," I told him hastily because I could feel the tears coming. As I was about to leave the room, he caught my hand.
"I'll accompany you." He said, I couldn't look at him.
"No, I'll be fine."
"No, I'll come with you."
"Okay," what's the point in arguing? He would've won anyway.
I ran towards the comfort room not meeting his gaze. He was immediately by my side and blocked me just when I was an inch from the bathroom.
"Are you crying, Bella?"
"Uh, n-!" I was crying already. My sobs were loud like a baby.
"Bella," he pulled me closer into his chest, permitting me to sob there.
"I'm so sorry!" I nearly shouted, but my voice was impossible.
"No, it's not your fault. Don't cry, please." He stroked my back. I was still crying when I pulled away from him. I wiped my tears with the back of my hand.
"Sorry!" I winced.
He rolled his eyes and kissed my lips. "Stop crying, Bella."
"No! I won't stop crying until you tell me you forgive me."
His eyes were liquid, then. I could tell that worked. He caught my shoulders and pulled me closer
"I forgive you," he told me softly, kissing the top of my head.
"Promise?" I asked.
"Promise." I chuckled as I kissed his lips.
