A/N: Ah! It's the last chapter. *tear* It's sad to end my first fan fiction, but I am excited for the sequel and my other story with Jared as the star. FYI, I don't go into great detail of the prom, sorry. I didn't attend my senior prom, so I can only go off of the movies and the homecoming dances I did attend. Plus, I figure you want to skip to the good part. ;) Nevertheless, let Prom begin…

P.S. Don't hate me at the end. Remember there is a sequel coming.
Last thing I promise. I just wanted to say that this is one of my favorite chapters that I have written in this story.
I looked in the mirror nervous. The only time I had been out of the house in less clothing as I was currently wearing, was at the beach, or a pool. I was internally cursing Angela and Alice as I stared at the girl I couldn't recognize. What if he thinks I look slutty? He wouldn't want to take a whore to the prom. Why did I do this to myself?
"Bella, stop doubting your dress, and get your little butt out here." Alice can be so pushy.
"I wasn't. I'll be right there." We both knew that I'm lying. Sometimes, I hate being so utterly predictable. Well, at least the dress helps on that forefront. I take one more look and head for my door. Alice is waiting for me just on the other side.
"Okay, so more look over." She twirled me around. "You look all set. Try and not trip down the stairs and ruin your hair or dress. You have one minute to collect yourself, and then our immediate future disappears and you know what that means."
"Embry." I said with a smile. I turned back to my room to find my clutch. The doorbell rang as I grabbed it. I felt my heart beat begin to race. Alice had pre-warned Charlie that my dress was a little racy. She reminded him that I was an adult and that this was my night. He simply huffed and turned back to his baseball game.
I heard the door close, and let out a breath I didn't realize I was holding. Why am I so nervous? It's just Embry. He loves me more than anything. He would accept me if I showed up in a potato sack. I drew in a deep breath and took the first step down the stairs. My shoes were making loud clanks against the wooden steps. I should never have agreed to heels, even if they were only two inches. I should have gone against Alice and gone with flats. I took the next step and the next. As I reached the bottom, I could see Embry. He was more beautiful than I had ever seen him. I had wondered where he and Jake would find tuxes that would fit. Obviously he had, and it looked good on him, too. It was a simple tux, only black and white. Alice made sure that we would match, I'm sure.
I was so busy taking him in, that I didn't really notice his own expression. His jaw was hanging open, and his eyes wide. He shook his head a few times, and then closed his mouth. He opened it again, only to shut it. I was beginning to worry. I couldn't tell if this was a really good reaction, or a really good one. He breathed in a large gulp of air.
"Bella, you look- I mean- that dress is- you- wow. " He barely managed to get out in a low and husky voice. He swallowed hard. I could see the strong desire and lust glowing in his eyes.
Charlie approached us with a grim expression. I think he thought that tonight might be the first time for us to be intimate. I wasn't about to inform that he missed that boat months before.
"You look…nice, Bella. You too, Embry." I could tell how much he didn't think my dress was nice.
"Thanks Chief."
"Thank you, Dad."
"Ah-hem. Well you kids have fun. Be back by midnight, Bella."
"Midnight? You have to be joking, Dad. The dance doesn't even get over until then."
"So twelve-fifteen."
"Charlie, I am an adult, I don't think I need a curfew. I graduate in a week."
"Yes, you are, but he's not. Embry, what time is your curfew?"
"Oh, I don't have one, Chief." Embry didn't mention that was only because after months of trying, his mother finally gave up on the concept. Wolf protectors don't get bedtimes.
"Well, Curfew Ordinance Number 390 says Embry has until midnight, but if you get caught and it's your first violation, you'll get off easy with an oral warning. I'll be fair and say one thirty, that way Embry is home by two. No later." I looked to Alice. She nodded her head, indicating I should take the deal.
"Fine, we agree to that."
"Then have a nice time." With that we left. We were meeting Jacob and Angela at the restaurant before heading to the school. Embry had a hand touching me the whole way. He would run it up my arm, and then down to my naked thigh.
"You look so hot tonight. You don't know what you're doing to me."
"I think I have an idea." He turned to look at me.
"Can we skip the dance?"
"No! Not after all the time I spent getting ready, plus the money you spent on the tickets."
"I don't care about the money.
"I think you can keep it in your pants for a few hours." Horny werewolf.
"I don't know about that with you looking like you are." He mumbled under his breath.
Soon enough we arrived at the restaurant. I was hoping it would lighten the sexual tension that was building. I had to admit he looked pretty damn sexy in that suit. Screw James Bond, I want Embry Call. We walked in and sat with Jacob and Angela. It only took a few minutes to see, that the tension had not decreased. Instead it doubled. Jacob was looking like he would take Angela on our table if she'd let him. Angela and I shared a look. We shook our heads and said together…
"Men." We laughed a bit. Our food arrived, and the table was pretty quiet. Angela and I talked about how we did on finals that week, graduation, and Peninsula next year. The only time the boys talked were to acknowledge one another with a simple 'hey' and to order. The rest of their time was spent stuffing down their meals and staring at their respective imprint.
Around eight we started to make our way to the school. Forks isn't exactly large, and the gym was the only real place to hold the event. When we arrived the place was all decked out in black and white, with splashes of red throughout the gym. We took a couple shot and then one with Jake and Ang.
We walked around the room and spoke to others in our graduating class. The boys followed us around, always keeping an arm or hand on us. I could see people looking at us and whispering. Neither Angela nor I were taller than five foot five, while our men were towering everyone at five foot five and five foot seven. I knew we looked like odd couples. Not to mention that the boys being Native American gave them that sexy 'tall, dark, and handsome' look. And while many of our classmates had heard that we were dating some of the huge guys from down at La Push, seeing was believing.
"I can't believe that you would show up in that." I heard Lauren's nasal voice behind me.
"Really, Bella, you look like a bit of a slut in that dress." Jessica added.
"A bit, more like a total skank." I could feel Embry vibrating slightly.
"I'm sorry you don't like it, but I didn't pick it out for you."
"Trying a little too hard, to get laid, aren't we, Bella. If it takes that much work, then he probably doesn't want you." Lauren turned her attention to Embry. "I could do things to you that you've only dreamed of."
"More like what I've had nightmares about. You can't compare to Bella, in the least. Even your dates seem to think so or maybe they just have drooling problems." I could see Tyler and Mike close their dropped jaws. Mike tried to discreetly wipe his mouth. I heard Jacob laugh next to Embry. "Trust me, when I say that Bella can satisfy me like no one else can." I could feel my cheeks darkening with that comment. Jessica and Lauren looked at me with surprise. "And even more importantly, I love her with everything I have, and I would never forget how lucky I am to have her and waste my time with someone like either of you two." They both looked horrified. Lauren scowled at us and stormed away, grabbing Tyler in the process. Jessica looked too shocked to move. She silently turned and left, leaving Mike gapping at what just happened.
I was brought out of the scene, as Jacob pulled Angela onto the dance floor. Embry and I followed close behind. The music was some rap song banging away. While the rest of the dance floor was grinding and humping one another, Embry pulled me close to face him. We began to sway to our own beat, moving sensually, not sexually.
"I love you." Embry said staring into my eyes.
"And I love you."
"I'm sorry if I embarrassed you. I just couldn't stand to hear them saying such things like that."
"It's okay, Embry. I probably won't see most of these people again for a few years, if ever. Well, besides at graduation." We continued to dance for awhile. We took a break and got something to drink, and headed back out to the dance floor. I never had to worry about falling, because Embry kept a good hold on me. I was surprised at how much I was enjoying myself, even with the Jessica and Lauren deal.
"I'm glad you're going to Peninsula first. I think it will be a good transition period and get us, or at least me, ready for when you are in Olympia." Embry said while were dancing to a slow song.
"I'm really going to miss you, Embry. We haven't spent more than a couple of days apart."
"I know. It'll work it out. I'll come and visit every weekend I can. Plus, we still have the next year to be together before you leave."
"Can you take me home?" I asked.
"Home, Bella, it's only ten o'clock. Don't let the future interrupt our night." He didn't understand my question.
"Can you take me back to your home?" I purred in his ear.
"Oh. I think I can do that. If fact I know I can. Let's go." He pulled me toward the door.
"Wait."
"For what?"
"First, I have to get my purse, and second, we need to say goodnight to Jake and Angela."
"Oh, okay." We walked back over to the table and I saw Angela grabbing her own purse.
"Hey, are you two having a good time still?"
"Yeah. Bella, how about you and Embry?"
"Yep, but we're going to going to head out now."
"Us too." We walked to the doors, where Jacob and Embry seemed to find one another.
"Okay, well, see you two later." Embry said as he pulled me closer to the doors. I pulled back.
"Would you hold your horses for a second?" I turned back around and gave Jacob a hug and kiss on the cheek. Then as I hugged Angela she whispered in my ear.
"I think someone is anxious to get out of here."
"He actually asked if we could skip the dance after he saw the dress."
"I bet he did. See, Alice and I told you that that dress would drive him mad."
"Yes, you did, and you were right. So, now let me go and put the poor guy out of his misery. Bye."
"Bye, Bella." I turned to find, Embry gone.
"He went to get the car. You were taking too long in his opinion." Jacob informed me.
"I swear. I have half a mind to make him take me straight home."
"Well, I think that would be the one time, you wouldn't get one you wanted from him. You are playing with fire, with that dress, Bella. You can't really expect the guy to keep it in his pants with you looking like you are. He told me he was a couple seconds from taking you right on the stairs at Charlie's."
"Oh. I'm glad he didn't."
"Yeah, I'd hate to see Charlie after that. He's pulling up, you might want to head out, before he heads in here and carries you out caveman style." I began to get worried and rushed out to the truck.
"In a rush are we." I said as I climbed into the truck.
"You have no idea." I could tell it was taking everything in him, to not break the speed limit, at least not too badly. In the dark cab, I could see his profile. He was so unbelievably handsome. I unbuckled my seat belt and slid to the center of the bench seat. He stiffened and kept his eyes glued to the windshield. I slowly leaned in, nibbling on his neck. Slowly, I began to undo each button on his shirt. After the last button, I pressed my hands up and down his hard, smooth chest. I leaned over his chest and began to plant kisses all over, occasionally making small bites and licks. I heard him gulp. I reached my hand over his pants, and moved my hand back and forth, just touching the material enough for his to feel. I began to suck on his earlobe, when he moaned. I pulled myself closer, so that I was almost sitting on his lap, and began to unbuckle his belt.
"Bella." He moaned. I unzipped his dress trousers and let my hand find its way. He was already getting hard for me. I stroked along his shaft, and then tighten my hold and began to pump him faster. I was kissing every part of him of him I could reach.
"God, Bella. Baby, you got to stop."
"Why? I know you like it, Embry."
"Why, because I'm either going to crash the truck or we're pulling over, because there is no way I am going to make it home with you doing that."
"Then pull over." I said into his ear. He looked over at me with wide eyes.
"What?"
"I want you now, Embry. I don't want to wait another twenty minutes." He slowed the truck as we made a turn. I didn't take the time to look to see where we were headed. I just kept kissing him all over. The truck stopped and he attacked my lips. He moved on top of me and I heard a thump.
"Ouch. Damn it." Then heard the door open, and I felt myself being lifted. I stopped kissing him to see what was happening, but the only light we had was from the moon. He apparently he understood my confusion. "Truck" Kiss. "Too" Kiss. "Small." He kept up walking, until I felt my back hit up against something hard and rough. I could tell it was a tree. We must have walked off into the woods. Embry's hands were roaming all over my body. I pulled my hands through his hair as my tongue fought for dominance. I felt him pull my dress up over my hips. He then ripped my panties off. I was slightly shocked for second, but soon forgot as I felt him ram his fingers into my wet core. I wrapped my legs around his waist.
"Embry." I moaned. It felt so good, him pumping into me hard and fast. I could feel my climax coming on fast. The adrenaline was pushing it faster. The fire was burning as he moved his mouth to cover my breast, sucking roughly on my nipple. I could feel my breath hitching. I was getting so hot and finding it hard to breath. "Harder." He complied readily, moving his mouth to my over nipple. "I going to cum, Embry. So hard."
"Cum for me, Isabella. Right now." The fire finally took me over, I screamed out his name in pleasure. Embry didn't let me come down from my high, though. As soon as hit my peak, I felt him ram dick into me. I didn't know when his pants had come off.
"God." He growled into my neck. "So fucking tight, Bella." He was thrusting into me so hard, so that I could feel my back scrapping against the tree bark violently. He grabbed my breast and rubbed it roughly. I could hardly think straight, everything felt so intense.
"Fuck. That feels so fucking wonderful, Embry. Don't stop."
"Never, baby." He drove himself into me harder. I wrapped my legs around him tighter, pulling him as close as physically possible. The fire was returning. I tried to regulate my breathing. I wasn't ready for it to be over. I pulled his mouth back to mine and pulled hard on his hair. He growled in response. Then he drove himself deeper and deeper with each pump. We both moaned together. I knew that by the end, my back would be tender and scratched up, but I didn't care. I should have gone with a dress with a back, but this felt amazing. We had never been so rough. We usually we're more gentle and loving, like we were making love. Tonight we were fucking, and it was mind-blowing. I could hear his breathing start to become irregular. I knew he was as close as I was.
"Fuck, Em. I'm fucking close, cum with me, baby." He groaned and tightened his hold on me, thrusting a few more times with everything left in us. I finally let myself go, I could feel my muscles contracting inside around him.
"Isabella." He growled as he emptied his seed into me. He pumped into me a couple of last times. We stood there for a few minutes catching our breaths, recovering from our climaxes. He buried his face in my now messy hair. "I love you, Bella, more than anything."
"I love you, too." He lowered me down, keeping his hold on me. "Sorry about your panties. I just couldn't get them down fast enough." He said sheepishly.
"It's fine. That was- that was pretty intense." He kissed the back of my neck.
"Pretty fucking hot, if you ask me. I've never heard you say fuck so much. It was sexy as hell."
"What can I say; you bring it out in me."
"Can I bring it out some more at my house?"
"You certainly, can." He pulled his pants up, and we walked back to the truck. He picked up his shirt along the way. I couldn't remember discarding that either. As I was loading up into the truck, I heard Embry suck in a breath. I turned to look at him. He looked pained. "What, baby?" He looked down.
"I hurt you." He whispered.
"What? No you didn't, Embry, I'm fine."
"No, your back, its all scratched up. I hurt you. I'm so stupid. Why didn't I stop to think? Of course throwing you up against a fucking tree would hurt you." He looked so mad and disappointed in himself.
"Embry, I knew that that could happen as soon as I realized I was up against that tree. I didn't care, so I didn't stop you. I wanted it as much as you did. I could have stopped us, and didn't, so don't you go all guilty on me. You did nothing wrong, quite the opposite. I have never felt so unbelievably good, as just then. That was the single, best experience of my life and you are not about to ruin it, Embry Call." He looked up me with a grin.
"Single, best experience, huh?"
"Yes." He pulled me into a long and heated kiss.
"Mine, too." As soon as we got to his house, we repeated our best experience again minus the tree. I was never so glad, that his mom always worked the night shift. We barely made back to my house by the curfew set by Charlie. As I walked into the house, I felt like I was on a high still. I saw Charlie sitting in the recliner, asleep. I went over and gently woke him up.
"Dad, I'm home." He looked at me threw slighted eyes. I couldn't tell if that was because he was tired, or suspicious. He looked over at the clock. 1:29
"Cutting it a little close don't you think?" I just smiled.
"You should head up to bed, Dad. You have work in the morning." He huffed at me and silently went up stairs. I followed shortly, heading straight for the bathroom. I took a nice, long shower. I didn't think my life could get any better. If someone had asked me six months ago if I would be happy and over Edward, I would have laughed at them. Well, maybe not have laughed, seeing as I was zombie, but you get the point. I dried off and pulled on my robe. I entered my bed and saw the window was open. I frowned at it. Then, I felt large, warm arms enclose around me. I smiled.
"After tonight, I wasn't ready to say goodnight, yet." I turned around and looked up at him.
"Me neither." We crawled into my bed and held on to one another through the rest of the night.
A week later it was graduation. I fought Alice tooth and nail and won. I didn't have to wear any kind of heal, only flats. Alice was far ahead of me with the C's and Angela was a little ways behind me. So I was stuck next to Jessica. I silently cursed the person that came up with alphabetical order. She talked on and on like we were best friends still. Apparently she had forgotten all the things she had said about me with Lauren, including the Prom comments from just a week earlier.
"I'm really going to miss you, Bella. Whenever I come back into town, we'll have to get together. You coming to Forks really made things more interesting." I was happy to learn that she, Lauren, and Mike were all attending Washington State University, on the other side of the state. I tuned her out and waited for my turn to walk across the stage. As they called my name, I could hear Dad, Billy, Jacob, and of course Embry yelling for me. The two large and very loud werewolves called quite a bit attention to themselves as they yelled out for both me and then a few minutes later for Angela. As I walked down the stairs, I could see Embry's huge smile. I think he was more proud than Charlie. It was a little disappointing to hear that Renee couldn't make it due to Phil's broken leg, but Embry filled any void I ever felt.
An hour later, we were having a graduation cook out in La Push for Angela and me. It took a little convincing to get her parents to go for it. They had planned a simple family dinner for the day, but knowing how much Jacob had come to mean to their daughter over the last few months, they agreed. The whole pack was there, along with their imprints. It was loud and crazy, with tons of food, and I wouldn't have had it any other way. This was my family and I loved every bit of madness that came along with them.
I was just watching as the guys started to play a game of football. Embry pulled away from the other guys, and got a few shouts for it. He ignored them and came over to me with his hands in his pockets.
"Care to take a walk with me?"
"Of course, I will." I took his hand and he led me toward town. That confused me.
"Good, 'cause I have to give you your gift."
"I told you no gifts, Embry."
"I know, but I need to give you this one." I sighed and looked around wondering where he was leading me. I knew where we were and assumed we were heading for the general store to pick something up. Once the store came into view we stopped. I looked at him questioningly, but he wasn't looking at me. He was looking nervously down at the ground.
"Embry, what's wrong?" He looked up at me.
"Nothing." He gulped. "I love you, Isabella."
"I love you, too, Embry."
"I mean I love you, more than should be allowed. You consume my every thought and dream. When I became what I am, I thought my life would forever suck. I didn't see much good coming from it. I was hurting because my Mom was always yelling at me, and I couldn't talk to my best friends. Then, I saw you in this exact same spot." I looked around to see that he was right. It felt like ages ago, that I stalked up to him and told him off for abandoning Jake and Quil. "In that moment everything else went away. You've made my life so much better, you've made it perfect. There's only one thing that would make it better." He went on one knee, and I couldn't hold in my gasp. He was kneeling holding a box with beautiful, emerald cut solitaire ring.
"Isabella Swan, will you marry me?"
THE END!
A/N: What will she say? Guess you'll have to read the sequel to find out. Reviews are always cherished. They are like little drops of sunshine on a very cloudy day. Which I did have today, it stormed really badly where I am. So I could use some sunshine!!
So if you want to see the ring here it is: http://images(dot)calvinsjewelry(dot)com/Images/Products/product/3592(dot)jpg
Embry made sure that it was simple enough for Bella to like and that it didn't cost a fortune. We all know an extravagant ring would have led to an immediate 'no'. So, Embry went with this simple but beautiful ring.
