Chapter 25

(6 months later)

"Oh! You look so adorable, Elizabeth! Oh, and just WAIT until Josh gets here! You two will be the cutest couple ever!"

Tonight was a big night. It was the most exciting occasion that Alice got to dress me for, and believe it or not, I was actually excited about it. It was the night where I could dress up and show everyone that I was proud to be in Josh's arms.

It was prom night.

When I looked in the mirror, I was astonished at what I saw. Was that me? Was that beautiful, breath-taking being in the mirror staring back at me REALLY me?

The wonders Alice could do! She had found me 'the perfect gown', which I must say is as close to perfect as possible. It was a long, elegant, strapless, rich purple dress with a train in the back and beads going around the entire top half of the dress, making it impossible not to be noticed by others. Of course, Alice didn't stop at my dress. She did my makeup in an enchanting way.

So now, here I stood in front of the mirror. Even I couldn't deny how radiant my beauty was tonight. I only worried about the entire male population drooling on me all evening. Of course, Josh would probably beat them up before they got to me. Speaking of beating people up, Newton hasn't spoken to me or even looked in my direction since the whole incident. I think he even has a girlfriend now, but I've been too pre-occupied with my one and only to notice…or care for that matter.

"Elizabeth! Get down here! I need to take your picture before Josh gets here!" I was surprised to hear my mother's voice amplifying throughout the house. I didn't waste anytime at all running down the stairs. I tripped on my dress on the way down a bit, but it didn't stop my vampire speeds from keeping up.

My mother and father were standing at the bottom of the stairs, along with the rest of my family who stood behind them, everyone gawking at my beauty. My family was the most gorgeous people on the planet and they were amazed by my beauty! Just thinking of it blew me away.

After a few flashes of the camera, the doorbell finally rang. I wondered how Josh would look this evening. When Jasper opened the door, I was not disappointed. Josh was wearing a dark chocolate colored tuxedo, with a similarly colored tie and a formal white shirt underneath. I couldn't believe that this was my boyfriend. How lucky was I?

I ran, at a human speed, into his arms, smiling. He kissed me on the forehead softly, and quickly. Even though my father had accepted Josh and mine's relationship, that didn't mean that he was going to forget that I was his little girl and that I belonged to someone else now, too.

"Good evening Mr. Cullen, Mrs. Cullen, the rest of the Cullens." Josh let me go as he spoke to my family. Before anyone else could greet him back, Alice started squealing.

"OHHHH! You look even cuter than I imagined!!! Bella, give me that camera!" She snatched the camera away from my mother and started getting pictures of us on our prom night. It was so cute how she was freaking out more than my own parents! We got a picture next to my parents, and then we timed the camera so everyone could get in the picture together. Alice gave Josh a hug, and then ran over to hug Jasper, which is exactly what Jasper hated. It was amazing how everyone but me smelled these awful smells on each other, even Josh on my family. Ah well. I suppose this is what vampires and werewolves do.

It pleases me so much to know that they can all be friends for only five minutes, just for my happiness. I didn't think I deserved this, but it was nice to see them all so civil.

As soon as we got out of the door, I ran up to Josh and gave him a long, soft kiss on his lips. Of course, we were interrupted by my father, telling us to take it somewhere else or to keep off of each other. I giggled a bit as we walked to Josh's car and started to drive off to our prom.

"You look amazing, Elizabeth." Josh kissed me on the cheek when we got into the car.

"You don't look half bad yourself." Was I kidding myself?! He looked liked the most handsome thing that could have ever existed right now!

After we talked for awhile about how excited I was, I realized that we weren't driving to the school.

"Josh…the school is the other way…where are we going?"

"Well, I think we should have our own special prom. Not to be selfish or anything, but you look much too beautiful to share with anyone else…I think we should go somewhere special."
Where could he possibly be taking me? Josh probably knew me best nowadays, so there was no reason in the world not to trust him. When the car stopped, I think I started to cry.

We were having our prom in our meadow. Josh picked up a battery-powered iPod player from his backseat and grabbed his iPod.

"Surprised?" Josh snickered a bit as he got out and went around to open my door.

"Surprised?! Josh, oh my goodness! This is amazing!" We hadn't even gotten to the meadow yet and this was already the best night ever.

After getting to the meadow, via my back, Josh set down the player and the iPod and turned on a big light. I turned around and couldn't believe my eyes. There were balloons set up, along with confetti sprinkled around and two crowns sitting on some rocks with signs that said 'prom queen' and 'prom king' by them.

"JOSH! When did you do this?!" How did he manage do to all of this?!

"Well, now that I am a werewolf, it's a bit easier to get around the forest, rather than going on human-foot." Josh put the prom queen crown on my own head and wore the prom king crown himself.

"Joshua Black, you are amazing."

After a night of dancing at our own personal prom, we lay down in the grass and looked up at the stars through an open gap in the trees above us.

"Prom really isn't about getting dressed up and getting a fancy limo and all that, you know?" I took his hand in mine as I whispered this to him quietly.

"No? Then what is it about?"

"It's about having that special night with the one you love."

"Yes. That is true. And I love you, Elizabeth Cullen. More than anything on this entire planet."

"Promise me something?" We gazed into each other's eyes now.

"Anything."

"Promise me that…when we get old and ugly and I'll probably be blind and need a walker or something…that you'll still love me?"

Josh started to laugh.

"You think I would care? As long as this doesn't change," He put his free hand over my heart, "As long as your heart is always as gold as it is now, I promise to always love you."

"And I promise to love you. Forever and always."

"Forever and always."

After all that we had been through together, after all of the drama between our parents…even though I'm part-vampire and he's a werewolf…even though we'll both die sometime…

We'll always love each other.

Forever and always.

(AHHH!!!! I can't believe…that this is the end. I'm actually crying right now! Without you, there would be no 25th chapter. Without you, I wouldn't crying because I ended my story.

SO THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!

I might write a sequel someday…I don't know!
