Chapter 25
"Edward?"
Bella's POV
Edward? My match? Impossible!
"Noo way, Edward! I'm not letting you donate your bone marrow to me! Find someone else!"
"I told you so, Alice!" Edward told her.
"Bella, why can't you accept the fact that Edward is your match?"
"Because," I began. "You know I hate troubling people to help me! Especially him."
"He's your match, deal with it," Emmett spoke.
"Can't you find another match?"
"You know that it's hard, Bella… to find another match. It's Edward or death!"
I folded my arms across my chest.
"Fine, just note that I'm doing this against my will!"
"All of us noted that already, Bella…" Edward said.
Soon after, I fell into deep sleep. After a while of shut eye, I was waking up when I heard…
"Alice, when are you going to tell Bella that you're her match?" It was Edward. "Or is it that you still don't forgive her?"
I chose to fake my sleep to listen more.
"You don't understand…" she finally said.
"Alice, she's got leukemia! When are you going to forgive her? It was all a misunderstanding!"
"I know, Edward… I'm working on it… And shut up before you wake her up."
It was all silent after that. Minutes later, I chose to open my eyes. Then the full impact of their conversation hit me.
Alice was my match? Why didn't they tell me? Was it because Alice still didn't forgive me?
Little did I know that my thoughts turned into words. They stared at me wide eyed.
"Why don't you still forgive me, Alice?
She froze.
"I know what I did was wrong… I know that it hurt him and the rest… But I did it to protect all of you from the truth…"
"You could have just told us, Bella… If you did, you wouldn't have ended up like this… You would have found an earlier match…" she said with her eyes glistening.
"I know what I did was stupid… I'm sorry… Friends?"
"I'm sorry too, Bella," she said and pulled me into a hug.
(AWW! The crowd goes. LOL!)
"Aww!" I heard the others say. "Friends again! How cute!"
"Bella, the operation is tomorrow and it's already 7 p.m. You should get plenty of rest…" Alice said.
"You too," I said, nodding.
She nodded and bided goodbye. The rest trailed after her and said their goodbyes too. The last one to leave was Edward. He stayed a little longer than the rest. He bought me something to eat because he knew I hated hospital food.
The next day…
Edward's POV
I got up at about 8 a.m. and took a shower then got dressed. We ate breakfast and set out to the hospital almost immediately. This time, the whole family was going including Jasper and Rosalie. They're practically family now. They're already making wedding plans. When we arrived, her parents were already there. The operation started at 10 a.m. Although the doctor told us the risk of the operation was minimal, I was still worried.
I waited anxiously outside the operation room with the others. After several long agonizing hours, the doctor came out with a smile plastered on his face.
"The operation was a complete success!"
I wanted to jump in joy. I did, silently. Bella and Alice were reeled out of there. Clearly still unconscious from the anesthetic given. At least they didn't wake up halfway the operation. Ouch, that would seriously hurt. I followed them to their room.
Alice woke up first, smiling and was her cheerful self again. She woke up at about 1.00 p.m. which was an hour after the operation ended. Bella woke up 30 minutes later, smiling. I went out to buy lunch for everyone which was a lot to carry. That's why I asked Jasper to tag along. If I asked Emmett, my wallet would have been wiped out long ago.
I bought the food and went back to the hospital. I bought extra for Emmett so I didn't have to go out again. He can't stand it if he doesn't get a snack every hour. I wonder… What will happen to Rose when she marries him? Good luck is all I have to say. She can't even cook! I guess the whole family will have to force him to go to the Biggest Loser (I do not own it!). It's a program that helps people lose weight.
If he's eating outside every night, we're gonna ship him off there or drag him there. If we could drag him or ship him without going over the maximum weight, that is. We gave everyone their food and ate quietly next to Bella. There wasn't much to talk about, though. I knew everyone just wanted to jump in joy or open a bottle of champagne or something like that. But then, they have to settle with only a smile.
Bella constantly looked up at me and smiled her best smile. I couldn't help but smile back with a dazzling smile. Then, I forgot that I had to ask something that was locked at the back of my mind all this time.
"Um, Bella?"
"Yes, Edward?"
"Who is Jacob?"
She froze and I felt eight pairs of eyes on me. But I was only looking at Bella. Like there was nothing else in the world.
"Um… I just made him up… So… that you'd want to break up with me even more…"
"And I thought you understand…" I muttered.
"Understand what?"
"Understand that nothing will want to make me break up with you… No matter what ever you say or do… I will never, ever break up with you…"
"What about… if I said… that… you left your phone here just now… and… I flushed it down the toilet?"
My jaw practically dropped. The eight pairs of eyes shifted from me to her.
"Just kidding!"
I smiled at her and ruffled her hair.
"Oh yeah! I forgot to tell you! I just saw a guy hot wired your car not thirty minutes ago!" she said.
"What?" I practically shouted.
She laughed like she was inhaling super strong laughing gas all day long. She could have rolled on the floor and laughed. When her laughing settled, I wiggled my eyebrows.
"No, n-no, Edward! PLEASE!"
Too late. I tickled her as best as I could.
"STOP IT! STOP IT!" She said between her giggles.
I finally stopped.
A few days later…
Bella's POV
Finally, I could go back home! I hate to be in hospitals. Edward drove me home and helped to unload the bags. After that, when he settled the bags down, he led me into the small living room and asked me to sit on the couch. I did what he said, confused.
He got down on one knee and held a box in his right hand.
"Isabella Marie Swan, I promise that I will love you and protect you forever… Will you marry me?" he opened the velvet box and revealed a sapphire ring with two small diamonds beside it.
My hands flung to my mouth. I didn't know what to say. It was so surreal.
Say yes, you idiot!
"Yes!" I said as he slid the ring onto my finger, where it will stay forever.
I pulled him to a hug. Which I think took him by surprise. He hugged me back.
"I want to make you mine forever…" he mumbled in my hair.
"I'm already yours…"
"To make it official," he shrugged.
This was my perfect fairytale… Finally, all the pieces in their right places.
