We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes and the flashbacks start
I'm standing there on a balcony in summer air
See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns
See you make your way through the crowd
And say hello, little did I know
I remembered the first time that I saw the love of my life; it was at a party that my parents were giving me for my seventeenth birthday, it was fancy not my taste, but defiantly my parents, the girls were wearing ball gowns and the boys were wearing, I had been wearing a purple ball gown that my mother picked out for me, I was on the balcony overlooking the party when I saw him he had brown curly hair and clear blue eyes and I as I walked down the stairs he walked towards me, "Hello, I'm Emmett." He told me, but I didn't know one important thing.
That you were Romeo
you were throwing pebbles
and my daddy said stay away from Juliet
and I was crying on the staircase
begging you please don't go
"Isabella Marie Whitlock, What do you think you are doing talking to a Cullen?" My brother Jasper Whitlock asked me walking towards me and Emmett, My family didn't like the Cullen's and the Cullen's didn't like my family, it would be unthinkable for it to be otherwise, and it had been that way forever.
"Jazz, I…" I said and he ignored me and looked at Emmett furiously
"Leave, now, and stay away from Bella!" He told Emmett and then Jasper walked away "Emmett, please don't go…" I asked him and he smiled at me
"See you later Bella." He told me before leaving
So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes, escape this town for a little while
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
But you were everything to me
I was begging you please don't go
Emmett texted me that he would meet me in the gardens at midnight, so I snuck out to go see him, but I was as quiet as I could be because if our family's knew they would kill us.
Emmett and just sat in the garden and talked for a while.
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone Romeo, save me, they're trying to tell me how to feel
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story, baby, just say yes
This love is difficult, but it's real
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
It's a love story, baby, just say yes
Got tired of waiting, wondering if you were ever coming around
my faith in you was fading
when I met you on the outskirts of town
"Emmett, my parents want me to marry Edward Masen, they're trying to tell me what to feel and when to feel it and I'm tired of it, I just wanna be with you." I told him this was our fourth time meeting in the gardens
"I know Bells we'll make it out of this mess somehow, I love you no matter what happens." He told me and then he kissed me.
"I love you too Em." I told him and he smiled
"Meet me at the outskirts of town tomorrow at noon." He told me just before he left
That next day I went to the outskirts of town and I saw him waiting there for me.
And I said
Romeo save me, I've been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Is this in my head, I don't know what to think
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring
And said
Marry me, Juliet, you'll never have to be alone
I love you and that's all I really know
I talked to your dad, you'll pick out a white dress
It's a love story, baby, just say yes
"Emmett, I've been feeling so alone lately and this morning my mother was talking about wedding dresses, I think they're going to marry me off to Edward sooner than I thought and-" I rambled and he cut me off with a kiss and then he went down on one knee
"I love you and that's all I know, Marry me Isabella Marie Whitlock, I talked to your dad, all you have to do is say yes." He told me and smiled
"Yes" I told him and he kissed me
