I do not own anything – Stephanie Meyer does
Bella's point of view
The drive to Charlies house was silent and the atmosphere was tense, everyone was waiting for me to break down in tears again, but I wouldn't. I couldn't do that to them again, I couldn't put them through the strain and worry, just because of me. As we pulled up outside of the house, I felt the lump in my throat but swallowed hard, not letting my emotions show,however Jasper was looking at me wearily, obviously my emotions were all over the place.
Edward was at my door in a few seconds already opening it for me, but from here onwards I had to be alone. "Thank you Edward, but I need to do this alone now." I smiled reassuringly at him but I knew he didn't believe me. "Are you sure?" He touched my cheek, running his cold fingers down my jawline to my neck and then leaving his hand there. My pulse was racing at an uncontrollable speed and I knew it was letting me down.
I nodded sheepishly, then took a step back leaving his hand midair of where it was placed on my neck. As I stepped towards the porch and took one last glance at Edward he was staring intently at me, but then nodded slowly; he understood.
I took one deep breathe and opened the door, to what used to be my home. I looked around and frowned, plates were smashed and blood was everywhere the last time I came here, but it was now spotless. I smiled, knowing that either Esme or Alice had been here to clean up. I stood at the entrance for about half an hour, and the memories of Charlie were not the nightmares I thought I would get but the ones I wanted to remember, I knew he was at peace now and that's all I could have asked for but from now on I had to get one with my own life, and all my life revolved around was Edward, he is my life now and I have to be happy for him.
At that moment Edward came in, wrapping his arms around my waist and resting his head on my shoulder, kissing my neck so delicately before turning me around so that I was facing him, and slowly moving his face towards mine. He hesitated; his lips hovering near mine, even though they did not touch I could still feel the electricity pass through my body, his gaze hypnotizing me, not letting my eyes leave his. His lips then touched mine for a split second sending my heart fluttering but before it had time to completely stop Edward pulled away, smiling my favorite crooked smile at my enthusiasm. We stood there, content of being in each others arms, his scent filling my lungs, intoxicating me, paralyzing me from my surroundings. Just me and Edward. Always.
Edward eventually pulled me out of his strong arms and headed towards the kitchen, on cue my stomach growled and we both chuckled. "While don't you have a shower and I cook tonight" I frowned not knowing whether he was joking or whether he could actually cook, however I decided to trust him and rushed off upstairs. I grabbed a tank top and a pair of jogging bottoms and rushed into the bathroom. As I stepped into the shower and turned on the water, my mind went back to Jacob and why he was still ignoring me. Did he even know about Charlie? Did he know about the Cullens returning? I would have to ring him tomorrow. As I carried on debating about the situation with Jacob the water started running cold and I decided it was time to get out.
As I rushed through washing my hair and quickly got dressed, I glanced at the clock and noticed it was 11pm, I sped down the stairs, only to met by a beaming pixie standing at the bottom, Emmett's laughter could be heard in the kitchen and I was suddenly scared into what was going on. "Alice wha..." but before I could finish she had taken my hand and dragged me into the kitchen where I was welcomed by all of the Cullens, apart from one, Rosalie just glared at me, obviously not wanting to be here. I looked over at Edward who was staring intently at me. He then gestured for me to sit down at the table and handed me my dinner, mushroom ravioli, I smiled at the memory that this brought and slowly started to eat each piece, savoring every taste.
Remembering the presence of everyone around me, I looked up curiously and they were all staring awkwardly around the room. Before I had the chance to ask, Edward had nodded towards Carlisle, he then started to speak. "We understand if you say no Bella, it is very soon but we came to ask if you would like to move in with us?" I sat dumb faced for a few seconds and then a smile crept over my face and Alice had quickly lifted me out of my chair spinning me around, obviously seeing my answer before I had spoken.
"Ermmm Alice, I've just eaten" I gasped for air. "Oooops sorry" She put me down and I stumbled from dizziness, Emmett laughed and quickly pulled me into one of his bear bugs, forcing me to take a quick rigid breathe of air as I felt my chest collide with his.
After we had decided that I would start moving in after the funeral, everyone had left, apart from Edward. "Are you sure this is what you want, it's not too soon?" He held my face in his hands, before wrapping his arms around me. "Edward, I'm sure, I'd love nothing more then to move in with you." I smiled and as the realization of actually living with him and his family hit me, my heart started pounding. He chuckled at my excitement before sweeping me off my feet and running up the stairs with me effortlessly in his arms.
As I felt the room come to a halt and my head stopped spinning, I realized I was lying on my bed with Edward lying next to me, his cold marble arms wrapped around me. As I felt him rub soothing circles on my hand, listening to his angelic and perfect voice hum my lullaby I feel asleep, in the perfect arms of Edward Cullen.
