Chapter 13 – Driving

I didn't know where I was going, but I was going away from the house that I owned with Elizabeth. How could she think all those things? Edward couldn't love me after all this time! I knew I would always love him because vampires were like stone in a way. Sure there were a few changes but most changes that happened stayed there for life. They would never go; we weren't like humans anymore. Once you fell in love, and it was true love, you stayed in love no matter how miserable you became. I stopped my car somewhere and got out. I went for a run through the forest and soon came upon a meadow, a very beautiful meadow. The moonlight shone and I admired it as I lay down on the cool grass and stared up at the stars. I closed my eyes and just lay there, thinking of everything that happened tonight. Edward came back into my life along with the Cullens and Elizabeth assumed that I was going to get my happily ever after.

"Are you all right?" A velvety voice asked from a distance. I didn't need to open my eyes to know who was talking to me. I heard his footsteps coming closer and then him folding himself next to me. I opened my eyes and looked up into his topaz eyes as he stared back at me curiously.

"Not really." I answered.

"Want to talk about it?" He asked. I exhaled slowly. Not really, my mind answered.

"My sister and I had a fight." Edward looked amazed.

"Really? You guys seemed so close this evening." I laughed.

"We were. She just made assumptions and they made me angry." I told him. I wasn't going to go into detail about anything.

"What were you fighting about?" Edward pressed. I narrowed my eyes. Was he determined to find out and possibly break my heart by letting me know that he didn't love me?

"It was about our happily ever after's." I whispered as I looked up at the stars.

"What about them?" He whispered softly. I could hear the pain in his voice.

"She accused me of getting my happily ever after and she didn't get hers." I replied honestly. Wait! Why was I telling him all this? I thought I didn't want him to know!!

"She can't have her husband and children." Edward stated.

"She can. She just assumed that I meant that we had to be on our deathbed to be changed…I wasn't though. I was changed pretty much like her. No reason at all, well actually she was on her deathbed technically as he decided to drink the life out of her." I explained. Edward laughed softly.

"What about your happily ever after?" He asked. Was he desperate for me to tell him or what?

"I don't know." I whispered.

We lay there for ages, Edward always asking me questions and me not answering them.

"Won't you answer any of my questions?" I shook my head. "Why?" I didn't answer him again. Edward growled in annoyance. "Then answer this one. Do you still love me?" My eyes shot open and I stared at him in shock, I wasn't expecting that one.

"What?" I asked in shock.

"Do you still love me?" Edward asked again. I sat up and looked at him, he was being completely serious.

"Yes." I sighed. Edward smiled.

"Good because I still love you too." Edward leant forward and kissed me. It took me a moment to respond. I was so shocked, did he just say still love me? Edward wrapped his arms around my waist and brought me closer to him. I wrapped my arms around his neck and my hands grabbed a fistful of his hair. Edward and I just sat there kissing until I pulled away and looked into his eyes, which had turned black. As we stared at each other, his eyes returned to his usual topaz colour.

"Will you go out with me?" Edward asked suddenly.

"What?" I asked stupidly.

"I didn't do it the right way. So I'm back tracking." Edward said as he pulled himself away from my grasp and grabbed onto one of my hands. "Will you go out with me?" Edward asked.

"Yes." I smiled at him and he smiled right back. His eyes were alight, as if someone had lit the candle behind them. I had never seen his eyes so full of excitement and life; he was no longer dead.

I drove home and walked into the house slowly, I wondered how Elizabeth would receive me today. I didn't want to tell her that I did get the one I loved back because I knew that would hurt her, so I just decided that we would have to come to an agreement. I looked around the dark house and heard nothing.

"Hello?" I called out. Elizabeth was in front of me in a flash and pulling me into a hug.

"I'm so, so, so, so sorry, Bella. I didn't mean to get mad at you and just yell at you like that. I don't know what happened! I just got jealous that you could have your happily ever after and I couldn't that I didn't see the possibilities in front of me to get my happily ever after and I'm so sorry!!" I kissed the top of her head and hugged her back.

"It's okay and I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have lost it back then." Elizabeth pulled back and beamed at me.

"No problem." She replied. She disappeared into the kitchen and I followed her. She was sitting at the dining table, staring at an album of photos. I looked over her shoulder and saw her with a man and two children. "My family." She whispered. I looked at her and saw her looking up at me. I sat next to her.

"Who are they?" I pointed to her children. She smiled sadly.

"That's David and Lisa. And that's my husband, Jason." She pointed to the man. He was quite attractive, straight blonde hair that fell into his eyes. He had hazel eyes and his face was soft and warm. Dimples appeared when he smiled and he was holding onto Lisa protectively. Lisa had Elizabeth's black hair but Jason's hazel eyes. David had blue eyes and blonde hair and he stood next to his mother, hands in pockets but he was smiling.

"How old are they?" I asked. Elizabeth sighed.

"Jason is forty now…he was the same age as me…David would be…fifteen now and Lisa would be fourteen." She replied. I sighed.

"Elizabeth, would you…want them to join you?" I asked her softly.

"What?" She turned to me in shock.

"Would you want them to become what you are so you could live with your family again?" I asked her.

"Oh Bella! I would love that. I would give anything in the world to see my family once again." She replied eagerly. I sighed.

"Well, why don't we go get them?" I asked her.

"Really? After so soon of moving into the house?" Elizabeth sounded unsure.

"If we put it off, they'll just get older." I stated. Elizabeth nodded and rose from the table.

"Let's pack." She disappeared into her room and was packing her stuff eagerly. I packed mine slowly and watched her while I was waiting for her to finish packing. "I'll see you soon." She whispered, touching a framed photo. I walked away and looked out the window, I closed my eyes and leaned against the window. "Ready." Elizabeth announced. I looked over at her and saw her standing there with her bags. I lifted mine onto my shoulder and sighed.

"Right. Let's go." We walked to the car and stuffed everything into the trunk of my car. "We have to make a quick stop first." I informed her.

"Okay." Elizabeth agreed, smiling at me.
