Chapter 4

EPOV (senior year)

She just stood there with unshed tears in her eyes. She was beautiful. I knew I'd do anything for this girl. She was my heaven. She was probably here for Alice knowing my luck. I let her in and stepped back.

"Alice is in her room." I kept my voice as monotone as I could incase it wasn't me she was here for.

"You love me?" Her voice cracked on the last word. She was questioning it and it broke my heart.

"Yes." It wasn't more than a whisper. Finding my voice, I explain.

"I was going to tell you at the party that night but well… "

"Oh. God, Tanya is such a bitch. She ruined us. "Gone were the tears. In its place was anger.

"Only, if we let her."

"You love me." This time it wasn't a question.

"I do." I couldn't keep the smile off my face. Or the hopeful tone out of my voice.

"I love you, Bella."

She closes the distance between us and wraps her arms around my waist in a bone crushing hug. I return it without question, just glad to have her in my arms again. I did however notice that my 'I love you' wasn't returned.

We waited a few weeks to make it official but we ended up getting back together. Christmas came and went; before we knew it Valentine's Day was approaching. I wanted to do something special for Bella but had no idea what. Going to the movie or out to dinner just didn't seem special enough. I asked my mom and she helped me plan something perfect for Bella.

Everything was set for our perfect Valentine's Day. I gave Bella a teddy bear in the morning on our way to school with the promise of more. All the girls were excited to go out tonight and celebrate. Alice and jasper were to Port Angeles to reenact their first date and Emmett was taking Rosalie to the movies. My mom and dad trusted us enough to leave us home alone tonight while they went to Seattle to see a musical and spend the night at a nice hotel.

At exactly six o'clock I knocked on Bella's door. I knew Charlie was home tonight due to the fact that his cruiser was in the driveway. Bella told me he had a date tonight but would be at my house to pick her up by eleven. Charlie answered the door his usual gruff self.

"Hello Edward"

"Hello Chief Swan. Is Bella ready?" He glared at me for what seemed like forever. No words were said. That stare said everything. It said, don't hurt my daughter again, or I will kill you and hide you where they will never find you. I swallowed hard and nodded. Without turning away I called to Bella.

"Bella Edward's here."

Bella looked amazing coming down the stairs in a red dress with thin straps that came just above her knee.

"Bye Dad. I'll see you later."

"Bye Bells. Have a good time and don't forget I'll pick you up at eleven o'clock."

She rolled her eyes. "I got it Dad."

I opened Bella's door for her as she slide into my passenger seat. We drove to my house in silence as I contemplated everything I had planned for the night. When I turned onto the driveway, her voice broke the silence.

"Did you forget something at home?"

"No this where we are going." I got out of the car and went around and opened her door.

"Edward I don't know what you have planned but I'm not ready to have sex."

"And I'm not going to push you to have sex. I didn't bring you to have sex."

I escorted her into the house where my mom and Alice over did the decorations before they left. They hung heart garland all over place and sprinkled rose petals on every surface. In the dining room there were two place settings with a rose centerpiece and two candles waiting to be lit.

"Oh Edward, it's so beautiful. You did all this for me?"

"There's more to come. After dinner I figured we could watch 'Jane Eyre' and 'Romeo and Juliet' the one from the sixties, not the Leo version."

"This is perfect. Thank you."

We ate the chicken parmesan my Mom left warming in the oven for us, followed by watching one of the movies. About half way through, Bella fell asleep on the couch. Charlie was knocking on the door before we knew it. It was a perfect night. Everything was just how I imagined it. I know I wanted all my Valentine's Day to be with Bella forever.

Bpov (sophomore year)

My first year in forks has been a roller coaster. I had my heart broken, I've fallen in love, I've made lifelong friends, and I've never been happier. In a few weeks Edward will be graduating high school and going off into the world, well sort of. Edward will be staying here and working at the music store until I graduate and then we are going WSU together.

Tonight is senior prom and Edward hasn't left my side once. The prom theme is frozen in time so everything is blue and white with ice sculptures everywhere. I don't think I could have made it here without Alice. Since jasper asked her to go to prom we did all the prom preparations together. We got our dresses together and mani/pedis together. The only thing missing was Rosalie.

She and Emmett were both sophomores and disappointed they couldn't party with us but this weekend all of us are going to the beach for a bonfire. It's weird to think in a few months our group will be one short.

Jasper got accepted to southwestern university in Georgetown, Texas. Alice and he agreed to write to each other but you can tell Alice is already missing him. I know Edward is making a huge sacrifice for me and his dad's not happy about it but it's what makes him happy.

"Dance with me Bella."

"Edward you know I don't dance."

"Please just one dance."

"Ok."

Only with Edward could I feel like I was floating on a cloud. I'd do anything for him and I know he'd die for me. I knew this was my forever.
