AN- I have some awesome news. I just gave one of my readers, checkerball, permission to do a story similar to this one, with the same experience with vampires Clara had, but big differences in the plot. Since this one is going to be over soon, if you want more until I can start a sequel I suggest you check it out. It might not ever be finished, but it will definetly be started.
And, sadly, there is only one chapter after this one! After that there will be an epilogue, then an author's note with thank yous and a playlist and all that good stuff. I will probably finish this story today.
I still need about forty-two more votes, so if you want me to start a new story today please vote! Please please please VOTE and REVIEW!!

Clara POV
Collin drove us to the beach looking nervous. Since when was he nervous around me?
"Collin, why are you so jittery?" I asked. He cracked a smile but didn't answer the question.
"You'll see in about half an hour," he replied. He was using the tone that meant that I wouldn't be able to get it out of him. I sat there pouting, looking out the window.
"We're almost there," he said, laughing.
Alice POV
When they were out the door I had a vision. I pulled out of it jumping up and down screaming my head off. Everyone came running.
"What is it?" They yelled.
I laughed and said,"Collin is going to propose!" The girls started jumping and screaming with me, and the guys looked anything but thrilled. I shook it off. They would come around. I would know. I was already trying to figure out which colors we should use for the wedding. Purple and something else...
Clara POV
We pulled up to the beach. Before I could open the door Collin was lifting me out of the car. I should've known...
Seconds later I was sitting on Collin's lap on the beach. I sighed happily and leaned on his cold shoulder. He shivered from my warmth and put his arms around me. Could things get more perfect?
Collin set me down on the sand and said,"I'll be right back." That was unusal. He never forgot anything from the car. I let my mind wander about what he was going to do, thinking of the craziest things. At least it was entertaining.
He came back, walking at human pace. I wondered why. Was he trying to make the suspense kill me? I mean seriously, hadn't I had enough near-death experiences today? When he finally got to me I thought my head would explode.
I was sitting on my knees, and Collin sat in front of me, sitting lower than I was. He pulled out a small black velvet box like I had seen men do in movies. Wait a minute, that couldn't be what I thought it was for...
"Clara Angela Cullen, I will love you forever. Will you marry me?" He was smiling like a fool, but his eyes were serious. This wasn't just some stupid joke. He wanted me to marry him. I was just sixteen! Maybe he wanted to get married before I was a vampire...
"Yes," I whispered, my eyes overflowing with tears that slid slowly down my cheeks. He picked up my hand and slid the gorgeous ring on my finger, kissing the ring before he let my hand drop. It made my hand feel more...complete.
He pulled me onto his lap, turning my face up with his finger. He wiped away the tears one by one, and when there weren't any more he kissed me. When we pulled apart we were both breathless.
"I have one question. Why didn't you wait to ask me until I'm a vampire?" I asked looking up at his face. He was smiling, not seeming to be able to wipe it off his face.
"When you're a vampire you won't might not be able to remember as much. I wanted to marry you and have you remember happy times we had together. I didn't think I would be able to wait until it was possible for you to be around people, either. Of course there won't be many that we'll invite, just the coven in Alaska and the rest of the family. I just wanted it to be done while you were human," he answered.
"Oh," was my brilliant answer. It made sense, and I had nothing to add to it. We sat there for a long time, just soaking up one another's presence.
Eventually Collin stood up and said,"I think it's time we get back. Alice probably already told them, and the girls are probably going to attack you and force every little detail out of you." It was meant to be a joke, but he was right. That's exactly what they would do.
He picked me up and set me gently in the passenger seat, then ran to the driver's side. We held hands the whole way home. Once I turned my hand to admire my ring and he said,"That was my grandmother's. After I was changed I went back to my house and got it. I just couldn't leave it. I felt like I might give it to somebody later. I'm glad it was you." How did I deserve him? Really?
We rode in silence, and I stared at my ring. We got back to the house quickly, and it wasn't until then that I realized that I was nervous. The girls would be happy, but what about the boys? It didn't really matter, they wouldn't stop.
Collin picked me up bridal style and opened the door, and everyone was sitting on the other side, staring intently at us.
AN- That's my fifth update today. I'm going to finish this today, so please VOTE and REVIEW!!
