I was sitting inbetween me and Carrie. His back was turned to me, in a vivid conversastion about the enconomy with Carrie. I excused myself, and walked around the endless hall until I found the bathroom.

It was a typical modern day bathroom, clawfoot tub, toliet, sink..m, .. I closed the lid of the toliet, and pulled my cell phone out of my shoe. (Hey, when your dress has no pockets, were will you put your cell?) I immediatly dialed Renee's cell.

The ringing seemed to drain out all the positive energy I had left in me. It tugged and pushed and pulled on what I had left in my hope of staying. "Hello?" Renees fimilar voice asked.

I breathed out a sigh of relief. I hadnt noticed I had been holding my breath. "Mom!" I said choking on my own words.

"Bella." It sounded more of a fact than a question. "Dont you worry about me Bella. My beautiful. I'll be here. I'll be strong. I wont leave you."

"Mom..you might not be here the rest of my life! You'll lose your beautiful long hair! Dont you think this is bad at all?" I asked tears threatening to pour down my face.

"Yes, Bella. It's horrible that I might not be here the rest of your life. Even Alice isnt that chipper anymore.." Her voice trailed off as she let out a heavy sigh.

"Mom I-" I choked on my own words.

I couldnt hold back my sobs any longer. I hung up the phone, and rested my head in my hands. I blubbered until I heard a knock at the door. I wiped my tears, and looked at the door.

"Whos there?" I asked my voice still shaking.

"Its Edward." Edward said in his velvety musical voice.

"Oh! Come in Edward." I said watching the doorknob turn, and seeing the angelic face that I have loved for not even an hour. I scooted over on the toliet, so he could sit down.

"Whats wrong Bella, my beautiful?" He frowned rubbing little circles on my back.

"Oh Edward." I blubbered, burying my face in his shoulder. I gushed on and on about Renee, and her breast cancer.

I looked up at Edward with watery eyes. He leaned in, and placed a kiss on my lips. The kiss became something more though, all of my sadness washed out of me, and pleasure filled me.

Edward broke away, and intertwined his fingers in mine. "Wow." I breathed. He nodded, a smile spreading across his face.

He lead me out of the bathroom, and back out into the living room. Carries face held a big ear to ear smile, and she didnt seem hurt at all that Edward had kissed me.

I poked my head into the room, and when I turned to look at Bella, she had her face in her hands and her face was red. I smiled. "Lauren, can I see yah for a sec?"

Lauren stumbled out of the room, a cocky grin on her face. I led her into the gezibo, and prepared for the worst. "So Lauren, what makes you think-" I felt a tickiling on my knee cap.

I looked down to see Lauren rubbing it there. I gulped. "What makes you think your good for me." I asked, glad to be past the first question.

"Oh, I'm perfect for you Edward. See, I love making love, dont you?" She whispered in my ear.

"Uh..." I said. Either this girl was absolutley drunk, or nuts. I was thinking Nuts.

She squealed. "I knew it!" She began attacking me with her lip's on my neck. I felt a hard touch near my stomach, and I immediatly pushed away. Lauren looked hurt. I didnt care.

I pushed her towards the door, and under my breath mumbled 'what a slut.'

opened the screen door, and saw Carrie and Bella chatting intently on the couch. I stuck my head into their conversation. "Can I steal Carrie for a second?"

Carrie looked at Bella. "Bella?" She looked like a puppy with those eyes.

"Sure sure!" Bella said pretend shooing us away, smiling.

"Thanks Bella." Carrie whispered. She took my hand and I lead her into the gezibo.

"Hi Edward." She said, her eyes sparkiling.

"Hi Carrie, so, what makes you think that your right for me?" I asked smiling, watching her eyes twinkle with love.

"Oh, well I've been through lots and lots of heartbreak, and I just wanted to see if this could help." She smiled, showing perfectly straight and white teeth.

"Your Just like Bella." I said leaning in, placing a kiss on her lips. They tasted like cake batter, like the Smuckers kind of lip gloss. (For the record, I only know how it tastes like because my ltitle cousin plays barbie-KEN on me alot)

The kiss broke apart, and Carrie smiled, her teeth glowing. I reached onto the table, which was now spilling over with 14 roses. One was missing because I gave it to Bella. I smiled. Bella...

I handed the rose to Carrie. "Carrie, will you accept this rose?" I asked smiling a crooked grin.

I followed her, squeezing inbetween Carrie and Bella. I started talking to Carrie about President Obama, and the economy and what not. I looked over at Bella. Shelooked hurt, confused even. She excused herself and wandered the halls.

I turned back to Carrie just as I heard a door close. I thought I heard sobbing, but I pushed it to the back of my mind until it got louder. I got up, and went to the bathroom to find out what the problem was.

I knocked on the door, realizing the sobs had stopped.

"Whos there?" A rough cracking voice asked that couldnt possibly be Bellas.

"Its Edward." I said casually.

"Oh! Come in." That perked the voice up.

I turned the silver doorknob, walked in and shut the door abrubtly. I sat next to Bella on the toliet. "Whats wrong Bella, my beautiful girl?" I asked a smile on my face.

She looked at me, her eyes watery. "Oh Edward!" She blubbered as she buried her face in my shoulder. She looked up after what seemed like centuries, wiping her tears. I rubbed little circles on her back.

She gushed on and on about how her mother, Renee had breast cancer, and that her hair was so long and it took 8 years to make it that long... Poor thing. I felt a slight pang of pity, and leaned into kiss her.

The kiss became stronger every second, her lips molded with mine, and it felt right. Perfect. Like we were meant for each other.

"Wow." Bella breathed, leaning her head against my shoulder. I nodded, helping her up off the toliet.

I lead her out to the living room, only to be met by 34 judging faces.
