-Bella-

I couldn't sit around like this. I refused to be told I couldn't see him. Why the hell not? What did I do to deserve this separation? Alice loss track of me and I found him. Alone, in the dark, just sitting there. I watched him from the door way before I said something. I was nervous… what if he really didn't want me anymore? But, when he said those three little words to me, everything felt perfect.

"Carlisle said it will scar" I brought my hand up to my neck, pushing gently on the wound.

"I'm just…" He looked away, staring at his feet for a minuet, then glancing back at my scar. "So sorry Bella"

"Don't be" I whispered, gently placing my hand on his knee. He showed me a weak smile as we sat in silence.

"You're alright then?" He asked curiously, then placing his hand on top of my own, looking deeply into my golden eyes. "Your eyes are a peculiar color for being a new born"

"That's what I hear" I hesitated. "I'm the freak among the vampires" Edward shuttered at the word, pulling his hand away from mine.

"This is.. Going to take some getting used to" he shrugged, then brought his hand up to touch my face. "In just a few hours, you are so different"

"I'm sorry" I hesitated. Edward gave me a stern look then shook his head. "I still feel the same, just, happier, and stronger"

"Weird" Edward muttered.

"Like I said… Freak" I pointed to myself with a giant frown on my face. Edward cackled, seriously, cackled, it was still cute.

"I wonder why" His face change from his luring crocked smile to a serious ponder. There was a few minuets of silence. Edward was running his fingers through my hair. I just then realized how clean I was. Just hours ago I remember dripping with blood, covered in dirt and sweaty from the unbearable heat of my transformation. I tried to remember how I got so clean, but everything was just a blur.

"Who showered me?" I broke Edward's deep thinking with my obnoxious question.

"Rose and Alice" Edward maintained his deep face but showed a weak smile, slowly running his finger across my collar bone. "You're colder than me" He said matter of-fact. "you're beautiful"

"Thank you" I shrugged. He leaned his, gazing at me and placed a gentle kiss right below my eye. I grabbed at him anxiously and pulled him into my embrace. He smiled through our kiss.

"Um, Edward" Then was a gentle knocking on the door, before Alice pushed herself in.

"Yes" Edward breathed angrily.

"There's a little problem" Alice began, fidgeting with her fingers, trying to avoid eye contact. Edward stood up, still holding securely to my hand, judging by his face, he had already heard what Alice had to say.

"I almost forgot all about that" Edward shook his head in disbelief as I sat curiously. Edward turned to me with a worried face. "Charlie called" My father's name shook me. Here I was looking completely different, feeling different, and missing for at least a day. How was I supposed to show up at home with this terrible mark on my neck, with a new complexion and a general new self.

"Wh-what can we do?" I stammered.

"Well, you're not thirsty right?" Edward asked and I nodded. "I will take you home then"

"No way!" Alice shouted. "As soon as she gets around Charlie she'll kill him!"

"We don't know that" Edward snarled.

"I can handle it" I chirped hopefully.

"Bella, I think you should move in with us" Alice urged hopefully, nodding at Edward. "for right now, contact between you and human public should be limited." She paused, catching Edward's glare "Or at least constantly supervised." Edward turned and nodded in agreement with Alice.

"I-I don't know if Charlie will be okay with that" I struggled with a plan to pull this off in my head. "What about school?"

"We can take care of this Bella" Edward looked at me worried. I was obviously showing stress. "Again, I'm so sorry. This is all my fault and I will make it better."

"Stop apologizing!" I shouted, standing up. Edward looked at me confused. He looked like he was about to speak again, but instead placed a gentle angry kiss on my cheek and turned away, walking out without saying another word. Alice stared hopefully at me.

"You should call Charlie" Alice tossed her little silver phone at me, and to my surprise I caught it. I nodded in thank towards her then dialed.

"Hello"

"Dad!"

"Oh Bella!" He sounded so relieved. "Where have you been!" Now angry.

"At the Cullen's dad" I struggled with an excuse. "Alice had me sleep over"

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"I did dad" I lied.

"You did?"

"Um, yeah yesterday, before Edward picked me up" I paused. "Then Edward left last night for camping" I had to recover my story.

"Are you coming home then?" He asked.

"No-no" I stammered. "Dad I think I want to, stay here for a while"

"I'd rather you come home Bells" He sounded concerned. "Why would you stay there?"

I panicked, looking around the room for an excuse. Edward was standing back at the doorway watching me struggle.

"Bella, are you there?" I couldn't come up with an excuse.

"I'm eighteen dad" I blurted out. That was hardly an excuse. "Look, I'm going to come home a little later, I'll explain everything to you then"

"Well okay sweety, I hope you reconsider" He sounded sad

"Love you dad"

"Love you too Bella" I heard him hang up then.

"Got a plan?" Edward smiled at me, an almost evil smile.

"No" I frowned.

"I do" He stretched with hand out to me urging me to get up and follow him. I did, curious yet oblivious. He led me into the kitchen, through the great room with curious observers. Emmet waved as both Edward and I passed, only I waved back. He practically dragged me up to his room and sat me down on his couch. I watched him rummage through a drawer, throwing things such as pens and books out of it as he dug.

"This" Edward smiled turning back to me with a little box in his hand. "This is my plan"

"A box" I asked jokingly.

"No" He snarled. Then he got down on one knee in front of me. I looked at him confused for a minuet then a realization came over me. He smiled hopefully into my eyes as he opened the box. Was this just an excuse to get me to stay here with him? Was this his way of making up for his animalistic actions? Was he planning this all along? My mouth gapped open at the absurdly beautiful ring.

"Well?" He shrugged grabbing my left hand urgently, with an adorable smile spread on his face. "Will you marry me Isabella Swan?"
