Gawd. So close…
My good people, I will not be ending this fan fiction at only thirteen chapters. More like sixteen, or maybe even seventeen. Or. Maybe. Even. Nineteen. Tell me if this story needs more of a plot though. Kay?
Chapter Thirteen
Edward POV
I turned away from Perri long enough to see a lustful Damon dip back a very surprised, angry Bella, and kiss her abruptly. She stayed dipped back, unresponsive, and Damon pushed harder against her lips. I growled loudly, and Perri took a couple steps away from me. Finally.
The only thoughts running through my head, full of red haze (A/N: "Red haze": anger) was two words. I marched over to him. I would kill him. That is, if Bella let me.
Kill Damon. Kill Damon. Kill Damon. Kill Damon…
I barged my way into the circle of high school teenagers surrounding my wife, and that perverted, vile, immature, idiotic, moronic, stupid, obnoxious, pushy, vulgar, disgusting, stupid, persistent child.
"Oh Damon…did you not hear me when I said "stay away from my wife" when we were at my house earlier this month? Did the DJ here not say "no inappropriate touching" during this prom? I suggest you stop right now, and give me a wonderful and legitimate excuse as to why you're kissing my wife." Odd. My voice was so calm. That wouldn't be the case in a moment or two.
"Temper, Edward, temper…" Bella tried to calm me. Dear, sweet Bella. She always saved me. I pinched the bridge of my nose, wondering if it was possible for vampires to get migraines.
He jumped back, and Bella fell to the ground.
"Ow…" That didn't really hurt, did it, Bella love? So help me, I don't care if I'm a "vegetarian" vampire. I'm having Northway for breakfast!! He will die a merciless death…
Damon looked from Bella, in a daze, and took in my beyond livid expression. "Beyond livid" didn't even cover what I was feeling right now. Jasper was bouncing my anger right back purposely, so I felt even more infuriated.
"Oh hell…Edward, I…Uh…Well, I…I really…Um…Well, you see, I…I…Er….I was just kis-"
"Hey, I said no inappropriate touching. Did I not say that? I'm afraid you're going to have to go home, kid." The DJ said, over the microphone, to make more things more embarrassing.
"What?! This girl is my girlfriend!" Damon yelled. That was it. I didn't care if Bella didn't approve of me killing him.
"No, I'm not! I'm married!" Bella screeched.
"It was worth a try…" and the most idiotic boy to walk the face of the Earth, besides Cyrus, Blake, Mason, and Jacob made a move for Bella's hand.
"Bella, would you come with me?"
"You can't be serious…Damon, just go."
"Hmph... Well, I'll see you Monday, I guess."
"I certainly hope not."
"Okay kids! Let's get back to the dance!"
Everyone stared after Damon's retreating figure for a couple moments, and then went back to dancing like nothing had happened.
"Bella, you're dancing with me for the rest of the night."
And, being the Bella I adored beyond words, said,
"I can't say I object to that."
I laughed, and pulled her closer.
Footsteps.
"Bella? Babe? I know Damon was an idiot, and I know you probably want to dance with Edward for the rest of the night, but I really want to dance with you, and I was wondering if Edward could dance with Dakota or something for two songs or something, and maybe we could dance together, because I think you're really pretty, no, beautiful, and you can't dance with Edward for the whole night, I mean, others like me want to dance with you to….so…what do you say?" Cyrus talked very fast. Very nervously.
"A very flattering offer, but-"
"Remember, you have to accept."
"Grrr…"
"Please? I love you."
"One song."
"Two."
"Two!" Alice bounced over, squealing.
"ALICE!" Bella and I yelled at the same time.
Alice tapped her head, and Bella and I tuned in.
A slow waltz was playing, and my Bella and Cyrus were dancing, Cyrus grinning like a complete child, and Bella looking bored out of her wits. She sighed, and Cyrus looked dazed as her beautiful scent hit his nostrils.
Meanwhile, a student walked over to the DJ's table, and wrote something down on a piece of paper with a pen she had pulled out. She gave it to him, and he looked at it for a moment. The DJ fiddled with his instruments for a couple minutes, and a loud song came up. Bella broke away from Cyrus's hold on the small of her back, and grinned.
"Well, Cyrus, we can't really dance to this one. So, if you'll excuse me…"
A man started to sing,
"Well it rains and it pours, when you're out on your own…"
The vision ended, and Bella cracked up.
Cyrus gave the look saying, "Maybe-she's-crazy-after-all" look. My Bella pulled herself together, dusting off her dress, and sighed, feigning annoyance,
"Okay, Cyrus. Let's dance."
"YES! I mean, sure. Whatever you say Babe."
Cyrus grabbed Bella's hand, and a slow song began to play, as Kelly walked over to me.
Her dress was too revealing, and it looked as though she had seen what Bella was wearing, and went back home to change. A skimpy, black dress, strapless, silky, and ended just below her knees. Black heels and red lipstick. Her hair, down as usual, with the weird yellowish tint it always had. Loosely curled, and she had way too much eye shadow on. Some of the boys, who were too smart to fall for my sweet angel, were literally drooling at the sight of her. I, however, was not.
"Edward, will you dance with me? I absolutely love this song." It's a good thing he doesn't know I don't even know this song. I mean, hello! It's classical. Ugh…
This was classical music, and I recognized it as Debussy. And, she was right. She knew nothing about classical music.
"I, uh, have... to go the bathroom." That was my best excuse?
"Hurry back!"
"You wish." I muttered under my breath, as I hurried to the boy's bathroom, only to turn left, and walk outside through the back door a vampire speed. I sat down on the hard cement, and what seemed like a good 2 hours later even though it was 2 minutes, the same slow song was still playing. I sighed, and got up.
As I entered the gym again, I heard the song blast from the speakers, and I smiled.
Bella broke away from a disappointed looking Cyrus. He walked over to Kelly, who scowled and took his hand grudgingly.
Well
it rains and it pours This alone, you're
in time for the show
when you're out on your own
If I crash on
the couch
Can I sleep in my clothes?
'Cause I've spent the
night dancing
I'm drunk, I suppose
If it looks like I'm
laughing
I'm really just asking to leave
You're the one that I need
I'm the one
that you loathe
You can watch me corrode like a beast in
repose
'Cause I love all the poison
Away with the boys in the
band
I've really been on a bender and it shows
So why don't you
blow me a kiss before she goes?
Give me a shot to remember
And
you can take all the pain away from me
A kiss and I will
surrender
The sharpest lives are the deadliest to lead
A light
to burn all the empires
So bright the sun is ashamed to rise and
be
In love with all of these vampires
Bella
and I cracked up at the mention of vampires. Gerard
and his band had no idea, even if it was claimed that Gerard himself
was a vampire. Well, we'd have to find out someday.
So
you can leave like the sane abandoned me
There's a place in the
dark where the animals go
You can take off your skin in the
cannibal glow
Juliet loves the beat and the lust it commands
Drop
the dagger and lather the blood on your hands, Romeo
I've really
been on a bender and it shows
So why don't you blow me a kiss
before she goes?
Give me a shot to remember
And you can take
all the pain away from me
A kiss and I will surrender
The
sharpest lives are the deadliest to lead
A light to burn all the
empires
So bright the sun is ashamed to rise and be
In love
with all of these vampires
So you can leave like the sane
abandoned me
Oh!
Give me a shot to remember
And you can take
all the pain away from me
A kiss and I will surrender
The
sharpest lives are the deadliest to lead
A light to burn all the
empires
So bright the sun is ashamed to rise and be
In love
with all of these vampires
So you can leave like the sane
abandoned me
Ooooh, Ooooh, Ooooh yeah, Ooooh…
Alice danced over, with a very bored looking Jasper following. Suddenly, an eager looking Dakota popped up in front of Jasper, and squealed,
"Jasper! Forget Alice! Come with me to the movies tomorrow! Come on! And then we can go for pizza! Come on, I've already asked ten times! Don't make me ask an eleventh! Come on." She said. She tried to grab his hand, and he pulled away. Alice smiled smugly.
"I hate pizza. In fact, I hate fast food. Any sort of food for that matter."
"Silly Jasper! No one hates pizza! Oh, that must explain why you're so muscular…" Dakota said, combining a squeal and a giggle.
"I hate it."
"Next you'll be telling me you live off of blood, like a vampire!"
I snickered, and pulled Bella away.
"Bella, love, do you want to go home?"
"One more hour. This is surprisingly fun, when you don't have a broken foot."
I kissed her cheek, kissing towards her lips. I stopped at the corner of her mouth. How long could she stay still before she caved?
1 minute…2 minutes…3 minutes…4 minutes…She locked her fingers into my hair, and kissed. Passionately. I loved her so much.
A new song came on, and Bella listened carefully to the lyrics. She smiled such a heavenly, angelic smile, and I couldn't help but asking.
"Love, what are you thinking about?"
"Listen to the song, dear."
I
was stained with a role in a day not my own,
And as you walked
into my life, you showed what needed to be shown,
And I always
knew what was right I just didn't know that I might peel away,
And
choose to see with such indifferent sight …
And I will never see
the sky the same way,
And I will learn to say good-bye to
yesterday,
And I will never cease to fly, if held down,
And I
will always reach too high,
Cause I have seen,
Cause I have
seen … Twilight
My Bella looked at me. I pulled her closer, and she laid her head on my chest. I kissed her soft, silky hair, and sighed. We started to sway to the music, and she kissed my chest.
"I
love you, my Bella, always and forever." And
I will never see the sky the same way, As the sun shines
through, it pushes away and pushes ahead, And I will never see the sky the
same way,
Never
cared, never wanted, never sought to see what flaunted, so on
purpose, so in my face,
Couldn't see beyond my own place,
And
it was so easy, now, to behold
What I could hold, what you showed
me,
I could change whatever came, within these shallow days
And I will learn to say
good-bye to yesterday,
And I will never cease to fly, if held
down,
And I will always reach too high,
Cause I have
seen,
Cause I have seen … Twilight
Fills the warmth of
blue, and leaves a chill instead,
And I didn't know that I could
be so blind to all that is so real,
As illusion dies, I see there
is so much to be revealed,
And I will learn to say good-bye to yesterday,
And I
will never cease to fly, if held down,
And I will always reach too
high,
Cause I have seen,
Cause I have seen … Twilight
I
was stained with a role, in a day not my own,
and as you walked
into my life, you showed what needed to be shown,
And I always
knew what was right I just didn't know that I might peel away,
And
choose to see with such indifferent sight …
Alice
and Jasper were abruptly right next to us, and Alice half whispered,
half yelled, for other couples were dancing and it was such a
peaceful moment,
"This is a perfect song for you two."
Jasper smiled, and punched my arm, before they were off, dancing at vampire speed, gracefully across the room. I swirled Bella across the floor, as the song sped up a bit.
And
I will never see the sky the same way,
And I will learn to say
good-bye to yesterday,
And I will never cease to fly, if held
down,
And I will always reach too high,
Cause I have
seen,
Cause I have seen … Twilight
I kissed her forehead, and when the song ended, she kissed my nose.
"Alice was right you know."
"I usually am, but what in particular this time?" Alice giggled, suddenly appearing at my side again.
"About that song being perfect for Bella and I. Love"
"Okay, kids! There're still 2 more hours left of this prom!"
My Bella groaned, and sat down in one of the chairs.
"Cheer up, love. Besides, I thought you said earlier that this was fun. Did you change you mind?" I was enjoying this.
My Bella just glared at me, resulting in my laughing, which led to Bella smacking my forearm. I rubbed it gently.
Five minutes later, a girl came up to me. Straight black hair, full red lips, eyes outlined with black outliner, and she was in a dress similar to my Bella's and Alice's.
"Hello. My name is Elvira Oak. I was wondering if you'd like to dance. You are Edward Cullen, correct? And this must be your wife Bella Cullen."
"Hello, Elvira," My name sounds so much prettier when he says it. I rolled my eyes, and continued. "Very well; I'll dance with you, and yes. I am Edward Cullen, and this is my wife."
Elvira glared at Bella, and Bella just stared calmly back, smirking, knowing I would never choose this girl over her.
Elvira led me away, and I turned back to smile apologetically at Bella.
"Bella, I would really like it if you'd dance me with me." Who was that? The voice was familiar…Mason.
"Elvira…could I go back to my wife for a second? A minute or two? I forgot to tell her something." I tried to pull away out her death grip. Her fingers just tightened. I could easily break out of her grasp, but no human boy could. Had to keep up the façade…
"What are you going to tell her that so important? More important than me."
"What time we're going home." Dear Mother and Father in heaven up above, please, don't let her see through my lie.
"Make it quick. I want to dance with you."
I sighed and ran back to Bella at vampire speed, just as she was getting up to dance with Mason.
"Mason."
"Edward! Uh, hi. I, um, just wanted to dance with Bella."
"Oh, I know. I'm just here because I would just like to make it clear to you that if you try anything like what Damon did, I won't hold back from lunging at you. I assume Damon told you and Blake what happened on my front lawn earlier this month?"
"Oh, uh, yes. He did. And, o-o-f c-course, M-mr. Edward Cullen sir. Dude. Sir. I, uh…just one song. R-right?"
"Yes. When I get back from dancing with Elvira-"
"Elvira? Elvira Oak? You're dancing with her? Did she actually ask? She never talks." His expression changed from frightened to surprise.
"Lovely. As I was saying, before I was rudely interrupted: one song only."
His expression didn't stay long on surprise. It changed back to fright after I finished speaking.
"S-s-sure. W-w-what ever you say, Edward. G-good luck with Elvira. She scares me."
"You. Not me."
"Edward! Where are you?!" Elvira yelled.
"L-l-let's go, B-bella." Mason stuttered.
"Coming, coming." My sweet angel sighed.
"I'll be back soon, love. Don't worry."
"Lunge at him if he tries to kiss me."
"I highly doubt he will. Though, if he does, gladly."
Mason looked in between Bella and me to see if we were joking. Bella grinned, and Mason sighed, dragging my love to dance floor.
I stomped back to Elvira who smirked at my furious expression, no doubt.
"Let's just dance, okay? No kissing, no hugging. Nothing like that."
"Whatever." Elvira scowled.
A new song came on, slower than the last, and Elvira sighed inwardly.
Oh, perfect. A slow song. Maybe I can prove to him that I'm better for him than Isabella.
Ha. Bella was mine, as was I hers. We would never be separated.
"Edward!"
Yes. Perfect timing Alice. You saved me from Elvira.
"What? Alice! Alice? What's wrong? And where's Jasper?"
"Jasper is with Kelly, but never mind that. I need Bella!"
"Never mind that Jasper is probably suffering right now?"
"Well…no, not exactly, but this is more important! Jasper is fine, I'm sure."
"Alice!" I heard Jasper call.
"Oh, sure. He's fine." I rolled my eyes.
"Okay. So he's not. But he can take care of himself for a moment or two. I need Bella."
"What? For what? What's wrong?"
This better be good.
La la la la la la…Oh! Hello. A cliffy, you say? I know, I know. I am evil, and nothing but that. I'm also American, but that's different. The chapter was too long, once again. I know, what's wrong with a really long chapter? That was, indeed, a rhetorical question. And since it's a rhetorical question, it's not meant to be answered.
I will now proceed to answer the question. Nothing is wrong with a long chapter, but I wanna BUILD UP THE SUSPENSE. Alice would love me. Okay, next chapter will continue in Edward's POV, and then it will move on to maybe Alice's, Jasper's, or Bella's. How about it? Ah, aah? Anyways (I do love that word. Anyways. Anyways. Anyways. Anyways. Anyways…) ANYWAYS, review. That's right, you heard me. Review! REVIEW, GOSH DARN IT. BTW, the songs were "The Sharpest Lives" by MCR, and "Twilight" by Vanessa Carlton.
