It's been a couple weeks since the 'accident' and Bella's doing better. Her leg's in a cast and she can't quit complaining about it. But now she's complaining even more because Alice is doing her make-up and dressing her up for the prom that she didn't want to go to. I figured what the hell and decided to help torture Bella. Rosalie even helped out a bit. I believe she helped out because she missed these human experiences. I know it's not because she started liking Bella, because she don't. Anyway, Bella kept complaining saying she can't dance and that she wouldn't go. Alice talked her into it.
"Guys, I'm serious, I can't dance. I especially can't with this stupid cast on my foot." Bella complained. Alice stared at her. "Get over it, your going whether you like it or not. Edward wants you to go and he asked me to help you." Alice replied still cheerfully. I swear, nothing can bring her down. Bella didn't answer just sat there.
"Rosalie go get the dress." Alice told her. We had done her hair and make-up, but with a fight. Bella, of course, gave in. The dress was beautiful. It was a teal color and strapless. It looked perfect on her. Alice's dress was black. It was short in the front and long in the back. It had big diamond shapes cut out around the waist. Rosalie's dress was somewhat short. It was red and ruffled on the bottom, side end. She looked amazing in it. My dress was a gold color. It had gold belt type stuff wrapping around the waist and a bow at the end of it. After we got dressed, I laughed so much. Bella only had one shoe on. Her cast wouldn't allow the other. God, if I could have cried, I would have from laughing so hard. Bella was mad at me after that but I didn't care. It was worth it. I had to help her down the stairs, seeing as she had a cast on and was usually clumsy. When Edward seen her, it was like he had just seen her for the first time and was completely in love. Bella's expression was exactly the same. They exchanged words such as "You look amazing", etc..
"You two kids behave yourself. Take care of her Edward, I don't want to have to kill my brother." I said laughing. Bella smiled at my comment but didn't say anything. Edward smiled too, but spoke.
"Don't worry, Milly, I could never hurt her." Edward said seriously and lovingly. I smiled and nodded at him. I love those two, more than they will ever know. I missed my family and I know I could never replace them, but I can add to them. I went to the living room with the girls, waiting on the guys. They were whispering, but stopped when I came in. I looked at them suspiciously.
"What?" I asked. They just shook their heads and I heard a nothing from Rosalie. I looked at Alice but she didn't respond. I knew something was up just from that. I took a look in her mind, but she was singing some song, and Rosalie's mind was, well, focused on Rosalie. Wow, no change there.
The guys came in shortly after that. They were all wearing a suit. They al almost matched. They were all wearing black pants, a white button up shirt, and a black suit jacket. Jasper and Raff were wearing a black tie. Emmett did not have one on. And the top few buttons were undone. He looked so beautiful. I know it's weird to call a guy beautiful but he is. His eyes were glued to me. They were sizing me up. I would have blushed if I could have. He walked over and hugged me, romantically. Then he kissed me. I love his kisses. They were so full of love and compassion. We broke apart shortly. I do not really like being romantic in front of others. It is rude.
"You look beautiful." Emmett said. I looked at him. If only he knew how beautiful he was.
"You do to, love." I responded. We just stared at each other for a few seconds. I get lost in his eyes every time I look in them.
"Umm, guys, we should probably go. We got to be there before Edward." Alice said, breaking our trance. I nodded and we walked out. Rosalie, Raff, Alice, and Jasper took Rosalie's BMW. Emmett and I took Carlisle's Aston Martin V12 Vanquish. I loved this car so much.
We arrived at the dance shortly. The guys got out first and made their way inside. We took our time walking normally. We walked in holding hands. Everyone's gaze came upon us and stopped. We walked over to our family, no the dance floor. A slow song was playing, so everyone was slow dancing. We joined in. There was a large circle separating us from the humans. They are just so frightened by us, and I don't know why. I mean yeah we are the world's best predator, but they do not know us. I just do not understand how you can be afraid of something you know nothing of. I heard Edward and Bella walk in not much later. After a little convincing Bella danced with Edward. It soon ended because that kid, from the Indian reservation, um, Jacob Black, interrupted them. Edward did not like that but did not refuse. He walked over to the wall and waited for Jacob's time to be over.
I being the eavesdropper that I am , I listened in on their conversation. She talked about how much he had grown and why he was there. "Can you believe my dad paid me twenty bucks to come to your prom?" Jacob asked Bella. Why? Bella answered and asked him if he saw anything thing he liked motioning to the other girls. He totally hit on her saying, "Yeah, but she's taken." God, what an ass. He knows she loves Edward. They kept talking saying what his dad bribed him with. Then he said it. His dad wants Bella to break up with Edward. Why? He don't even know the boy…unless…. Oh shit. He knows. He knows what we are.
Edward do you know about Jacob's dad? I asked him. I looked over to him. He was still and leaning against the wall.
Yes I do. he replied. So he knows that he knows what we are and he has not done anything.
So he knows what we are, yet you have said nothing. I asked him angrily. I do not want to lose the family I have just shortly gained. I do not think I could go threw that again.
No I haven't because one, it's just a hunch, two, a long time ago we made a treaty with them saying that we will not come onto their land and that we will not bite another human. If we do, they would make war against us. He replied. What the hell is he talking about.
What? Treaty? What the hell are you talking about? I asked.
They are, well were, werewolves. That was a long time ago, but we still keep to our word. He replied. Werewolves? Surely not. I have not seen nor heard of a werewolf for centuries. Jacob left Bella and Edward left me to my thoughts. Edward took Bella outside to dance. How romantic.
"Hey, come on, let's get out of here." Emmett whispered in my ear making me shiver. I shook my head and we left, hand-in-hand. He brought me to the car and then we were off. I didn't know where we were going. I could have read his mind, but thought better of it, seeing how he wanted this to be a surprise. After a couple miles or so, we stopped. We got out and he lead me threw a bunch of trees, then I heard the sound of moving water. What I saw made me breathless(if that was possible).
In front of me was a beautiful lake. The moon was shinning perfectly on it, making it shine a fluorescent blue. The trees surrounding it made it that much more breath taking. Then I heard soft playing music. I looked over and saw a small CD player. Emmett. I sighed softly to myself. He took my hands in his and our bodies became one. We started slow dancing and it was the most amazing thing that ever happened to me. And with the most amazing man.
After a while, we slowed down. And slowly stopped. We looked into each other's eyes and just stared. "Can I ask you a question?" Emmett asked. I laughed silently.
"You just did." I replied. He smiled at me. "Of course you can. I would answer anything for you, let alone do anything for you." I replied again. He smiled again. Then he did something I never would have seen coming. He dropped down on one knee and reached into his coat pocket. I did not know what to do. My eyes were wide and my mouth was dropped. He cannot be doing what I think he is doing. Then he pulled out a little black box.
"Amelia Rose, I love you more than anything in this whole world. I would die for you. Do anything for you. I want to spend the rest of eternity with you. Will you do the honor of becoming my wife? Will you marry me?" Emmett asked. I gasped when I saw the ring. It was the most beautiful ring I had ever seen. I looked him in the eyes for a second. Then I jumped on him and kissed him passionately. When we broke apart, I looked at him again.
"Yes, my love, I will." I replied. He smiled bigger than I had ever seen him smile before. He hugged me tight and kissed me. That night was the night out of all my 336 years.
