A/N: So I hoped you liked the prologue enough to continue reading. I was going to wait with posting this till Friday, but I just couldn't wait.
The next time I post a chapter should be the 27th, however I'm in Holland, so with the timezones and everything it might not be the 27th with you anymore ;) I'm planning on updating every Friday.
Please leave a review if you like, love, hate, see spelling problems (there might be many since English is not my first language and I don't have a Beta).

1. Whatever It Takes
Thank god it was summer.
My high school days are over. I passed all my exams and I graduated with honours. Charlie really couldn't be more proud. I wasn't entirely sure where to go from here though. I mean, I know where I want to go, I want to become a vampire. But I also know that my vampire, my fiancée sitting next to me, had something else in mind. He was definitely not in any hurry to change me. He wanted me to have 'every' human experience. Yeah right. Except having sex. Sure, graduating high school, going to prom, going to college, get married, those were all things he wanted me to do. The one thing I wanted to do, was a no go. And I had done all those things. I had graduated high school still human, I had, very reluctantly, gone to prom with him, I had, again reluctantly, agreed to marry him and I had even applied to a dozen different colleges. Not that I actually wanted to go.
Sometimes he would just make me so angry. For the life of me I couldn't figure out what more he could want from me.
"Bella, we're here. It's time to get out of the car." Edward shook me from my thoughts. I was sure he had been staring at me the whole way from my house to his, to try to figure out what was going on inside my head. To this day he couldn't stand the fact that he couldn't read my mind. It frustrated him to no end, and I could see in his face that he was frustrated with me now.
"It's not polite to just ignore someone when they talk to you." He gritted out between his teeth before getting out of the car and striding inside the beautiful white house.
Ever since Edward and his family came back I have spent every day in that house. With them. Sometimes I miss other people. Like Jacob Black. When I had first gotten out of my 'zombie'-stage he had been there for me. I thought we were becoming friends. But then, all of a sudden he had stopped talking to me. To this day he won't answer any of my phone calls. I still call him every week, more because it's a habit than expecting him to actually answer. I'll probably continue calling until I leave this town, hopefully as a vampire.
But, in order to do that, I'm going to have to make sure the man I love is no longer angry with me. I hate it when I make him upset with me. I probably should have just gotten out of the car when he asked me to instead of being amused with thoughts over how frustrated he must be with me. I sighed, got out of the car and went inside to see my family.
I had been glad to find out that by the time I made my way inside, Edward had cooled down. I was currently playing videogames with Emmett. I really love my big brother, had missed him so much when he was gone. No matter how bad I feel, he always manages to make me laugh with his silly antics. He does this hilarious victory dance every single time he wins. Even when he beats me, which isn't weird at all considering his vampire skills. I was laughing when Edward came up to me.
"Bella, love. You need to eat something now."
"Edward, I'm fine. I'm not hungry right now. I'll eat later, okay?"
He narrowed his eyes at me. "No, it's not okay. It's time for you to eat right now. I will not let you starve yourself. You will come with me to kitchen, and you will eat something."
Okay, overreact much? You would think I'd have gotten used to it by now. "Fine, Edward. I'll eat something," I got up and followed him to the kitchen. "but I'm really not hungry so it's not going to be much."
I had move towards the counter when he suddenly grabbed my arm. "You will eat, because I'm telling you to. And I know what's best for you, Bella." He trailed one finger over my cheek and I could feel myself get lost in his eyes. God, he could make me forget about everything just by looking at me like that.
He cupped my cheek with his free hand and kissed my forehead. "Now would you mind telling me why you are wearing something this revealing, for my brother?"
He looked at me with narrowed eyes and I could only stare back at him. What was he talking about? He has talked me into wearing different things before, because he did or didn't like a certain colour on me, but he never mentioned something like this. How can he think a simple scoop neck t-shirt is too revealing? And what does he mean with 'for my brother'? Does he think I have feelings or something for Emmett? What is wrong with him?
He tightened his grip on my arm. "Do I need to repeat the question, Bella?" He started glaring at me.
"No," I gulped and tried to take a step back. He wouldn't let me. "no, Edward. You don't have to repeat the question. And I'm not wearing anything for anybody. It's just a t-shirt, Edward. Alice bought it for me a couple weeks ago. She thought the green would look good on me and she's trying to move me from blouses to t-shirts to eventually get to dresses. Or something like that…" I trailed off. I knew I was rambling, but I didn't want Edward to think something like that of me. He was the only man I'm interested in, would ever be interested in. Without him, I was nothing. The hole would come back and this time, I'm sure it would destroy me entirely.
His eyes softened. "Alice bought this for you?" I nodded frantically.
He let go of my arm to cup my other cheek and nodded before kissing me lightly on the lips. He gave me a small smile and turned away.
"I'll have to talk to Alice about what types of clothing you can wear. Make yourself some lunch and come to my bedroom." And he was gone.
I started making myself some sandwiches on autopilot. What exactly just happened. Did he really just accuse me of having feelings for one of his brothers? Did he just order me up to his bedroom? And what did he say about my clothes, what types of clothes I can wear. Since when does he decide these things for me? I looked down at the half-eaten sandwich and came to the conclusion. He had been making a lot of decisions for me, and he has been doing it for quite some time now. Oh god, that's not good.
But what does he always say, I know what's best for you. And in a way, maybe he does. He loves me, knows me better than anybody. And I love him. I need him. So what if that means I'm going to be wearing a lot of blue blouses? And eat twice as much? I get to have Edward, forever. I would things a lot worse than that for him. I smirked, yeah, like flying halfway across the world to save him from the world's most feared group of vampires. I shook my head as I cleaned up my dishes. No, this was nothing I couldn't handle. Nothing compared to the Volturi. I love Edward. And I will do whatever it takes to have him change me, so we can be together forever.
