I know it's late, and incredibly small but hopefully the content will make up for it. BPOV CHAPTER.
CHAPTER 10
The next two weeks past incredibly fast. Alice had Edward and me at wedding stores almost every day. She even took us to Seattle twice because apparently "Port Angeles has very limited wedding resources; and that means that they cannot possibly supply everything for this wedding."
The wedding was occupying just about all of our time, which I knew would happen, but it still surprised me.
Jacqui had accompanied us quite a few times – mainly when Edward had gone hunting and we needed another opinion. She was such a bright and bubbly person; between her and Alice, it was hard to not be happy and have a great time being dragged from one store to the next.
When we did manage to find some free time, I spent it with Edward. However, he quite often seemed distant and as if something incredibly important was on his mind. It was just like the night he had come back from hunting. He said that it was simply just the wedding getting to him; that it was making him stressed out.
I believed him.
Last night I managed to break down the wall he had built about this.
"It's just that I feel like you are doing this wedding for everybody else; Alice, Esme, Jacqui, even me. And I do not want to force you into doing something that you're not ready for or don't want to do. I realise that we have had this conversation before, and I dislike repeating myself. But I really just want to make sure that this is what you want as well."
I sighed; it was exactly like last time. And all I could do was give him the exact same answer I did last time.
"I love you, I'm going to marry you and there is nothing you can do about it."
He chuckled lightly. "That's what you said last time."
I smiled and brought my hand up to his cheek, "That's because I mean it just as much now as I did then. Edward, you need to realise that. It's making me feel like you don't want to get married to me. I have gotten over my fears and now I cannot wait to see you at the other end of the aisle."
He smiled back and apologised once again for his thoughts, and then he began to hum my lullaby as he usually did.
I was just about to nod off to sleep when he stopped humming and began to run his hands through my hair.
"Bella, would you mind coming to my house tomorrow, there is something that...well, just, would you mind?" he whispered.
I simply nodded before kissing him goodnight and falling asleep.
I was sitting in the living room of Edward's house; each of the Cullen's surrounding me and smiling. It was slightly embarrassing and a small blush rose to my cheeks.
I heard Alice clear her throat quietly before she began to speak.
"Bella, you know that you are already a part of this family, even if you and Edward aren't married yet. We all love you to bits and we wanted to do something to show you how much we love you and how grateful we are for you bringing Edward back to life," she got up off of the couch as she spoke and walked over to the small table by the door.
She picked up a little blue box that had a midnight blue ribbon wrapped around it. It was then handed to me with a peck on the cheek.
Slowly, I pulled the ribbon loose and opened the box.
Sitting on the little plush cushion was a cuff bangle. And there in the middle of it was the Cullen Crest. The white gold was intricately formed around the crest, creating tiny swirls. I gasped at the beauty and the thought of being given my own crest.
The sight brought tears to my eyes and I smiled up at them all.
"Thank you, all of you, so much. This is just...beyond words. I love this and I love you all, so, so much. I just..." Edward latched onto my hand and pulled me into his chest. "Ahhh, this is all so overwhelming."
They all laughed and came over to give me each a hug. As Esme gave me one, she whispered in my ear. "I cannot thank you enough for giving me my son back; you are truly amazing," and with that, she kissed my cheek.
It was such an emotional moment that I didn't even hear the knock at the door.
Alice skipped to open it and then Jacqui walked into the living room. "Hi guys! Umm, I have someone that I want you to meet. This is my sister, Sarah."
Songs I listened to:
A Praise Chorus – Jimmy Eat World
Love Song – Anberlin
Counting The Stars – Short Stack
Two Is Better Than One – Boys Like Girls ft. Taylor Swift
Betterman – Pearl Jam
The Back Of My Head – Short Stack
Here We Go Again – Paramore
Okay, so once again I am going to have to apologise greatly for the amount of time it took me to update. I am not going to come up with excuses; all I can do is say sorry and YAYY! I updated!
I want to thank you all for staying with me through this story even if I havent been a great author. Also, happy birthday to Jacqui, again (it was a few weeks ago, but this story is for her, so I feel as though I should say it). Sooo, HAPPY BIRTHDAY JACQUELINE ANN! I LOVE YOU LOTS :)
That's about it for now. But I just want to say that I am not promising or even hinting as to when I will update next - I just happened to have A LOT of time on my hands today. Sorry again.
Love Elyse xx
