DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN THESE CHARACTERS!!!
I don't know exactly how long I sat there alone on the bed. A million different thoughts ran through my mind. Would Tanya hurt Edward in order to get to me? Would she hurt others? What about Charlie and Renee? I didn't know what to do. I lay back down on the bed and started crying. No matter what I always caused trouble. Suddenly I heard the door open. It was Edward. He had the strangest look in his eyes. It was something I had never seen before.
"Edward wha-" I started but suddenly he was flying through the air toward me. He landed on top of me pinning my shoulders. I heard an ear splitting crunch as something broke.
"I'm so sorry Bella." He said as he lowered his face toward my neck.
"Edward? What the heck are you doing?!" I screamed.
"EDWARD?!?!?!?" I heard the rest of my family yell. I felt the pressure gone as someone crashed into Edward and he went flying through the air. I tried to sit up but there was a major pain in my shoulder. Somehow I as able to scoot myself around to see what was going on. Emmet had knocked into Edward and sent him flying into the black leather couch on the other end of the room. It collapsed under the weight of both of them. Jasper and Esme went to calm Edward down and drag him out of the room. Carlisle and Alice rushed to my side, as Rosalie went to get Carlisle's doctor bag.
"What just happened?" I whispered. I was still in shock. Alice looked at Carlisle uncertainly. He nodded.
"Are you sure Carlisle?"
"Yes Alice. She has the right to know."
"I have the right to know WHAT?" I was starting to get frustrated.
"Edward was trying to figure out what to do about Tanya. So he decided….without confronting ANY of us…..that he would change you right then and there. But he didn't decide to until he landed on top of you, so I couldn't see it coming. And as soon as I did, I saw that he wasn't ready to do it. You wouldn't have survived. He would have killed you, and he wouldn't have been able to forgive himself. Even now he's pretty torn up."
"Wait, why is he upset now?" I asked confused.
"Well, he knows he nearly killed you, and he nearly fractured your shoulder." Alice replied.
"My shoulder?"
"Bella, when he landed on you he nearly broke you shoulder and collar bone. You're lucky though. You got away with just a sprain." Carlisle said as he wrapped my shoulder in gauze and athletic tape.
"Can I see him?"
"No honey." It was Esme talking now. I hadn't heard her come in. "He feels awful, and Jasper and Emmet are taking him hunting so he can cool down."
"Oh…..ok." It must have been really bad if he couldn't come and see me yet. That scared me even more.
"We'll let you let this sink in a little." Carlisle said, as he, Esme, and Alice left the room. "If you're in any pain just yell." He said as he closed the door behind him.
I couldn't believe this was happening. Edward promised he'd NEVER hurt me. That he'd never been that close to killing me again. I didn't understand. Suddenly, the door creaked open. "Edward?" I whispered.
"No Bella, it's me, Rosalie."
"Oh. Hey Rose. Come on in." I said as I sat up.
"Bella….NOW do you see why I don't think you should become a vampire? Do you WANT there to be a possibility of you killing the ones you love?"
"Rose…it was an accident."
"Yes Bella. Accidents happen. But the next one…..someone could die. You could die." I didn't really know what to say to that. I just nodded my head. "Bella, I just want you to think more about this before you do anything."
"Ok Rosalie. Thank you." I replied as she turned around and left the room. She was right. What would be the point in becoming a vampire if I killed Edward in the process? He was the reason I was doing this. I had a lot to think about……..
I woke with a start when I felt the stone cold arms wrap around me.
"Bella my love……I am so sorry." Edward whispered as he buried his face in my hair.
"It's not your fault Edward…anyone can get carried away."
"Bella. I could have killed you."
"But you didn't." I said with a smile. I turned and kissed his lips. But this kiss was different. It seemed urgent yet uncertain, like he didn't want to kiss me.
"I didn't even ask you for permission first."
"Yeah I know….and you promised you'd never hurt me."
"Bella I know! I know! I know! I can't believe I got so stupid. I get so carried away sometimes. I can't control myself! Which is why……"
"Why what?"
"Why we, as a family, have decided that we aren't going to let you become a vampire."
"Are you kidding?"
"No love." He said sadly.
"Why?" I murmured.
"We don't think it is what's best for you…"
"I don't understand."
"We may change our minds, but we are going to have to see how the Tanya situation goes. I'm going on a trip for a few days to try and figure out what to do. And I can't take you with me. But Alice is staying and so is Rose so you'll be safe. I love you my darling." He kissed me passionately.
"I love you too." I said and I kissed him back. Just then Alice came bounding into the room.
"You were going to ask to see me?" Alice asked with a smile on her face. Gosh she's smart.
"Yeah….wait."
"Edward! Get out of here!" Alice said as she punched him playfully in the shoulder.
"Alright alright. I 'm going….goodbye Bella." He laughed. I waited until I was sure he was gone before asking Alice my question.
"Alice…can you still see me becoming a vampire?"
"Yes Bella. Right now it seems like somehow you will. I don't know if we will be the ones to do it, but you will."
"Alright. That's all I wanted to know."
"Oooo! Bella! This is going to be the BEST few days ever! We'll have to go shopping, go get manicures and peticures, and get our hair done….." the list went on. I smiled. At least I knew one thing. I was going to be a vampire…….
Whether Edward liked it or not.
Ta da!! There's chapter 2!! Chapter three will be along in the next two days!!!
