It's Never Over 19
Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight or any characters. I wish though a girl can dream, can't she?
My updating is going to be at random times know, because something came up and I need to be there first and foremost dealing with it, so sorry if this annoys you but no worries I'll still update.
Anyway getting on with it . . . . . . . . . .
Last Time:
Edward – POV
I placed Bella gently on my bed and gently pushed some hair out of her face that had fallen on the way up the stairs. I kissed her forehead and then her lips. "Bella, honey, please wake up." I rubbed the back of her hand with my thumb and was relieved when she groaned.
"Why do people always want to wake me?" She glared sleepily at me.
I chuckled "I'm sorry, love but you had me worried and I needed to see those beautiful eyes." I gave her my best crooked smile.
I paid little attention to Carlisle as he fixed Bella up. "I'm fine, I promise."
"Okay, Bella, just sleep for now." I kissed her forehead and started stroking her hair.
* * * * *
It had been over seven hours and Bella hadn't even moved. I looked down at her and smiled, she looked so peaceful. Her burns had healed significantly and her bruises had disappeared over three hours ago.
All of a sudden her heart started picking up pace slightly and her breathing grew more shallow and uneven. I looked down at her again and smiled, leaning forward to kiss her lips. She smiled against my lips.
I reached into my pocket and pulled out my velvet box. "Bella I know you're awake so open your eyes."
"Okay, I'm up, so what is it that you want?" She asked turning so she was laying on my chest; she pecked my lips and smiled at me.
"Isabella Swan, I have known you for only a short period of time, but I know you're the one that is for me. I planned to do this on Saturday but I can't wait anymore, I had everything planned but Bella will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?"
Chapter 21 (Alice – POV)
I waited with baited breath. It had been two minutes now and Bella still hadn't said anything. My irritation was growing, just answer already!
"No," It was barley a whisper and even I had a hard time hearing it. I probably would have missed it if I hadn't been listening so closely. I heard Esme and Rose gasp. I could have sworn I heard Emmett gasp too, but I'm not sure.
My eyes widened. "W-why not?" I heard the hurt and pain in Edward's voice. She is so dead when this is over! Was the only thought that made it to my brain before Bella started explaining why she had said 'No'.
"Look Edward I love you, more than anything. But really think about it, I get 'kidnapped' as you think about it even though I was the one who kidnapped Zander, and then you propose? It's like you're just worried I'll leave but I won't, I promise you that."
"Bella, that's not true, I'm asking because I love you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you." I could practically hear the desperation in his voice.
"Edward now you want me, but what about in ten years or even a hundred? Someone else might catch your eye but you won't be able to go after her because you are stuck with me." Bella sounded angry and a little hurt like she actually believed what she was saying.
"Ugh, Bella, listen to me. There is nothing in this world that could pull me away from you, not even some other girl because you are the only one for me. I have waited over a hundred years to found someone that has even one tenth of the power you hold over me and I never met anyone that came close. I was so disinterested in them; Emmett started thinking I was playing for the other team as he put it." I heard Bella giggle. "So please say you'll marry me."
I heard Bella let out a sigh. "Edward, I can't I'm sorry. At least not until your positive without any doubt and you have a clear head." I heard her stand up and start walking to the door heading towards my direction in the living room. I had a moment of panic and forgot how my legs work in fear of getting caught. My eyes widened when I saw Bella turn the corner. She past me and I still hadn't moved.
"You know Alice, Eavesdroppers will only ever hear ill of themselves and if not they have bad hearing." She didn't glance at me while saying it.
"I was not!" I lied, trying-and failing-to defend myself.
Bella stopped and turned slightly. "So you didn't hear me say how incredible sexy Jasper is in the jeans he wore today."
"Nope because you guys didn't even say Jasper, so ha! Wait crap!" I hit myself in the head over my mistake.
Bella giggled slightly. "Alice, relax the whole family including the wolves were listening waiting for my next reply. I'm not going to hurt you."
"Oh good, because we need to have a serious talk." I put my hands on my hips and glared at her.
Bella smiled. "Okay Alice but not now I need to think."
I sighed. "Fine, but soon."
After Bella left I went upstairs to find Edward reading a book, well trying to. It was kind of obvious he wasn't really reading because he had the book upside down. "Edward, you okay?"
Edward looked at me sadly. "How Alice can I be okay, the girl I love doesn't believe me and I can't seem to do things right." He chucked the book across the room. I ducked narrowly avoiding a hit to the head by the book.
"Yes you can. Edward you two belong together no matter what. You have to go after her convince her you're the guy for her and she's the girl for you."
Edward looked at me and chuckled. "You're not gonna give up are you?"
I walked over and slapped him up side the back of his head. "Does that answer your question?"
EPOV
I rubbed the back of my head and grumbled a thank you to Alice. Ugh, she always has to take the violent route. I started running before the she devil pixy could continue to abuse me. I stopped when I reached about five miles into the forest. I looked around trying to find any sign in direction in which Bella could have gone. I smelled the air around me; nothing.
I was about to yell in frustration when I caught sight of a broken tree branch about ten meters away from me. I ran over and looked at the branch it had a patch of white fur attached to it; crap. I hadn't expected her to change into her wolf form; she's much faster than even me normally. Now how am I supposed to find her?
I decided to just keep running in the direction I assumed she went from the broken branch. My hair was a complete mess and it was only getting worse in the wind. "Bella?!"
I continued yelling for the next three hours. My mind was racing and my ears tried to pick up anything. I was about to give up and go home to see if she had gone back home when I heard howling. I looked around trying to find the source. "Bella?" I yelled again. I heard another howl coming from the west. I started running not even bothering to move the branches out of my way. I ran like a mad man searching for gold.
I finally made it into a small man made clearing. I could see Bella lying on the ground staring at the sky, she hadn't noticed me yet. She had tears the size of baseballs falling from her gorgeous brown eyes. "Bella," I called gently.
She jumped slightly before looking at me. I'm sorry, she sent the message into my head but I was already shaking my head.
"Don't be I was just over excited I guess. I love you Bella and if you're not ready than I won't push you into anything. I just want you to come home with me, please?" I begged walking over to her. I fell to my knees and started stroking the fur behind her ear.
No Edward I'm ready, but are you sure you are? I chuckled and ruffled her fur again.
"Bella like I said earlier I have over one hundred years to find you and now that I have I don't want to let you slip through my fingers." To prove my point I gripped her fur and let go after a few seconds.
She looked up at me she huffed sending twigs and leaves into the air. I followed an auburn leaf into the air and felt a rain drop land on my forehead. Within seconds it was raining. Not hard enough that we couldn't hear each other, but hard enough to soak us.
The sky was let up with lightening seconds later a resounding BOOM echoed through the forest. I stared at Bella as she was illuminated by the moon I hadn't realized had appeared. It soon faded behind another black cloud. Another bolt of lightning streaked across the sky and the thunder followed soon after.
My eye never left Bella. "Bella, please I love you, will you please do me the honor of becoming my wife?"
For several minutes she just stared at me. I heard her sigh softly, yes. As soon as the word flitted across my mind another BOOM filled the air.
Okay this chapter took me a while to write for some reason. R & R
