DISCLAIMER: Hello, we meet again. Yeah, I updated fast. An apocalypse is coming. Lol. Just kidding. I don't own Twilight. And there is going to be a five month time skip so it is now early May. (It was January in the last chapter because they came back from Winter Break on January 3rd.) There is going to be at least five more chapters. Most likely. I do not own any songs that are in here. The song in here is Lucky by Jason Mraz featuring Colbie Caillat. If you are confused on how it went, just listen to the song. The other song in here is Blame It on the Alcohol by Jamie Foxx.

Chapter 24

A couple months passed, and now, I'm looking for a graduation dress. I can't believe I'm graduating. It seems like yesterday when I met Edward, when I became a pop star, and when I became friends with Alice and Rose.

The school had asked me to do a song of my choosing at graduation. I politely declined. I wanted to be normal for once. But, at the dance, I will sing a few songs. The dance is right after the graduation ceremony.

Graduation was two weeks away. A week after that, we are going to the beach for two weeks—Myrtle Beach to be exact. And a week after that, we were going to go check out Yale and Dartmouth because they seemed like good options.

Rosalie picked out a red dress that showed off her curves and—what she says is the most important part of a girl—her boobs. Emmett will love it. All of the guys are going to have to take cold showers or maybe picture their grandma in a compromising position to calm themselves down. Alice found a silver dress that made her legs look ten times longer. It makes her look taller.

They both looked like supermodels. Me? I had a light blue dress that came to my knee. It was a low cut but it didn't show much. And it was strapless. It also shimmered. But, it made me look pale. Alice and Rosalie insisted for me to get it, so I did.

"Bella, it looks fantastic on you. Trust me. Edward won't want to keep his hands off you. It'll be like prom. You never even made it to the prom kings and queens thing. You guys were up in that hotel room all night," Alice giggled.

"Shut up, Alice. It wasn't like you and Jasper weren't keeping busy. Same with you, Rosalie," I said.

"Bella is getting a little defensive. Was he not good?"

Prom was two weeks ago and Edward and I did the deed. Yes, he got the golden ticket. Was it perfect? Yes. Did it feel like magic when we were together? Yes. Yes, it did. "Alice, he was amazing."

Alice crinkled her nose. "Ew. I was not expecting an answer. That's disgusting. He's like my brother. I don't want hear that."

"You're the one who asked, Allie."

Rose and I laughed at Alice. We paid for our dresses and left.

Edward was acting strange. Whenever I would ask him what's wrong, he would say nothing, and he would change the subject.

I know he's either stressed or nervous because he's been pinching the bridge of his nose and running his hands through his hair.

What is wrong with him?

*One Week Later*

"Edward, I demand to know what's wrong with you. You've been all stressed out. It's worrying me. Please, tell me what's wrong. Please, Edward," I ordered.

It has actually started to piss me off. I mean, we love each other! He can tell me anything!

He smiled at me. "I didn't know how to tell you this, but I'm valedictorian."

"You are? Edward, that's fantastic!"

I put my arms around his neck and he swung me around as I laughed. I kissed him. "Can I read your speech? Have you written it yet?"

"It is going to be a surprise."

"Why?"

"Because."

"Because, why?"

"Because I said so."

I frowned. "But, I don't like surprises."

"You'll like this one. Trust me."

I pouted, he chuckled. He kissed me. "Wipe that pout off your face. You're going to love this."

Graduation night. We all sat down in alphabetical order. A few people gave speeches and sat down. Edward was up to give his speech.

"Thank you for being here today with the graduating class of 2012 of Forks High School. Thank you for everyone who made me who I am today. Without you guys, I would never have made it this far. Thank you, Mom and Dad, for giving me everything I ever wanted. Thank you, Emmett and Jasper, for being my brothers from another mother. Thank you, everyone. Even if you were negative in my direction, thank you. You made me stronger. And to those who were positive in my direction, thank you for building my confidence. Thank you, teachers, for helping me when I struggled. Thank you, Rosalie and Alice, for giving me fashion tips.

"When I was young, I contemplated suicide. I hated life ever since I was five. Ever since I met a certain Isabella Swan, I hated my life. She was so perfect and I knew I loved her then. It's funny. A little five year old who knew that they were in love with a girl isn't common. But, I knew that she would never love me, so I made a bad decision. Because she was perfect, I made up flaws. I made sure she was convinced that she was ugly, she wasn't wanted, and that she was so imperfect. I was a monster. Then, she left… She left because of me and that was when I wanted to kill myself. I made the love of my life leave because I was so mean. But, she came back. And she forgave me.

"People can forgive you no matter what you do. If someone did something bad to you, whether it's stealing your pencil or something big, look in your heart and see if you can forgive them. Everyone deserves a second chance. Bella, you gave me that second chance. Can you come up here?"

Everyone looked at me. I walked up on stage, the blush rising to my cheeks as people murmured. Edward got down on one knee. "I remember I always wanted to know what I would be when I grew up. A fireman, famous, or to be a princess were most of my classmates' choices when I was young. Now, they want to be a famous whatever. A few months ago, I found out what I wanted to be. I wanted to be a husband. Isabella Marie Swan, I will love you for forever through our fights and through our love and through everything else in between. I know we will get into fights and that will be expected, but nothing will break my love for you, Isabella. I swear to you. Nothing will break it. You are my one and only love. Isabella, my best friend, my girlfriend, my hopefully fiancé, my hopefully wife, will you marry me?"

"Yes, yes! Absolutely yes!" I squealed.

Edward grinned and put the ring on my finger. Everyone erupted into applause. He kissed me and spun me around. We sat back down and everyone went to get their diplomas.

I was so happy right now. So happy that the word happy doesn't even cover it. I just graduated high school and I'm engaged.

I'm going to be a wife to the most perfect man in the universe. My one and only love, Edward Cullen.

We were on our way to the dance. I was going to sing a couple of songs. I just wrote a new song a few days ago with Edward. We'll be singing it when we get there.

A bunch of people were congratulating us on our engagement. I didn't have to sing for another thirty minutes. We sat down and I leaned my head on Edward. He draped his arm around me, pulling me closer. "I love you, Edward."

"And I love you, Bella… My beautiful fiancé."

Soon, I had to go sing. I sang a bit of my songs and other peoples' songs. Now, I was going to sing Edward's and my song, Lucky, that we wrote together.

"Okay. Everyone, grab your date. We're going to be making things all mushy gushy for the moment."

Everyone got into their date's arms and the people who didn't have a date just sat down and watched.

Edward sang, "Do you hear me? I'm talking to you across the water across the deep blue ocean, under the open sky. Oh my, baby I'm trying."

I started singing. "Boy I hear you in my dreams. I feel your whisper across the sea. I keep you with me in my heart. You make it easier when life gets hard."

We both sang," I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend. Lucky to have been where I have been. Lucky to be coming home again."

We both ooh-ed. I sang and Edward sang the words after me. "They don't know how long it takes waiting for a love like this. Every time we say goodbye, I wish we had one more kiss. I'll wait for you I promise you, I will."

We both sang," I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend. Lucky to have been where I have been. Lucky to be coming home again. Lucky we're in love every way. Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed. Lucky to be coming home someday."

Edward sang this part," And so I'm sailing through the sea to an island where we'll meet. You'll hear the music fill the air. I'll put a flower in your hair."

My turn. "Though the breezes through trees move so pretty you're all I see. As the world keeps spinning round you hold me right here right now."

Now, it's both of us! "I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend. Lucky to have been where I have been. Lucky to be coming home again. I'm lucky we're in love every way. Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed. Lucky to be coming home someday."

We ooh-ed for the rest of the song. Everyone clapped. The DJ stood back up and started playing pop songs. Edward and I sat back down. "Bella, do you want some punch? Pretty damn good stuff!" Emmett laughed.

I nodded, needing something for my throat. After all that singing, I needed a drink. "Thanks, Em."

"You're welcome, Bells."

I drank it all. Realizing that this was the best punch ever, I had poured me some more punch.

When I drank six cups, I started to wonder why it tasted funny. Then, the whole night was a blur.

EPOV

Oh, shit. Bella is drunk. What do I do? I need help. I looked around and almost everyone was drunk. Where were the teachers? I guess I don't have help. What do I do?

Meanwhile, Bella got on a table. "Bella! Please, get down from there!"

"Edward, this is fun! Want to come up here with me?" She giggled, almost falling off the table.

"I'll get on it with you!" Rose volunteered.

They started dancing and soon, Alice joined them. Following that, every drunken girl got on a table and started to dance on each other. The guys were cheering. Emmett was throwing money at Rose, Alice, and Bella while yelling," Yes! That's my hot girlfriend and her hot friends! I love you, baby, for being hot and having hot friends!"

I saw Jasper. Finally, someone who is sober! "Jazz, get the girls and Emmett home."

He nodded at me.

"Bella, babe, we're going home."

"Edward, no! I don't want to! I'm having fun!"

"Bella, the paparazzi could be outside listening to this. Do you want the next headlines to be `There's a wild side to Natalie? ` No? I thought so."

"B—"

"Charlie is going to be furious at you guys."

"Edward, how about we don't go see Charlie? We could get a hotel room and… You know," She said, suggestively in my ear.

"Okay… Wait! No, Bella. Let's go home. I'll take you to my house so you won't get into that much trouble with your dad."

"NO! Edward! I don't want to—"

Bella covered her mouth. She ran to the bathroom with me hot on her heels. She was in the first stall, puking her brains out. I pulled her hair back. She passed out and I caught her just before her head hit the toilet. I picked her up and took her in my car.

Please, God, don't let her vomit in my car, I silently prayed.

Surprisingly, I didn't see the paparazzi, but that didn't mean they weren't there. I made it home without any conflict. Well, until Esme heard me coming up the stairs.

"Edward, what happened? Where are my sons? Is Bella okay?" She questioned.

"Someone spiked the punch. They are still at the high school. Jasper is trying to get them home. Bella just got drunk and passed out."

She frowned. I knew she didn't like drinking and I know I so just got everyone in trouble—even my Bella.

Esme woke up Carlisle and he made a few calls. I brought Bella up to my room and we fell asleep.

BPOV

I opened my eyes and immediately closed them. I groaned. The light hurt. "Bella?" Edward asked. "I thought you would sleep forever. Do you want—"

"Shhhh."
"Oh, right. Hangover."

I nodded. I slowly sat up and opened my eyes. The light still bothered me. "Can I just lie in bed all day?" I asked.

He laughed. "No, Bella. You have to see Emmett with a hangover. It is hysterical. Um. Do you want some sunglasses? I heard they helped."

"If it helps, then sure."

He gave me his sunglasses and I walked downstairs. I sat on the couch and Edward pulled me on his lap. Emmett came in also with a pair of sunglasses. He kept mumbling that he hated his life. I don't think he even saw us. Edward pulled out his phone and started recording.

Emmett turned on the music and started dancing and making pull out a drink. "Bloody Maries," Edward whispered.

That was when Emmett started singing Blame It on the Alcohol by Jamie Foxx. I tried not to laugh. One, because of my hangover and two, because I didn't want Emmett to know we were watching until we send that video to everyone and put it on YouTube and such.

Emmett was soon done and he looked straight at us as I giggled. His mouth dropped. "NO!" He screamed.

He and I looked at each other and groaned whilst holding our heads. "Do you want a Bloody Mary?" He whispered.

"Hell no. I cannot deal with anymore alcohol."

"It helps your hangover."

"It actually does, Bella," Edward said.

"Fine."

Emmett poured me a cup. "Now, Edward. Delete that video."

"Okay."

Edward deleted it. "Did you send it to me?" I quietly asked.

He nodded.

"Isabella, Rosalie, and Alice. I am very disappointed in you. I cannot believe you got completely intoxicated out of your minds! Anyone heard of alcohol poisoning? Yeah, it kills thousands of teens each year. You guys could've died."

"Dad, trust me. I will never drink again. Hangovers suck," I moaned.

"Charlie, I will drink because I had a good time, but never with idiots like Newton and Stanley. Once Bella left, we played spin the bottle and I had to kiss Stanley and Mike about keeled over because he was so horny. I was disgusted," Rosalie remembered, crinkling her nose.

"Charlie, most of us didn't know we were drinking in the first place. Someone spiked the punch. Be glad Edward told Esme who told Carlisle who told the cops that the party had gotten out of control otherwise something bad would probably have happened," Alice rambled.

"I do not want this to happen again until you guys are 21. Some of you could have gotten arrested. The people who spiked the punch are going to get arrested, I can tell you that. I'm disappointed in all of you and the boys, too."

"We're sorry, Dad," I apologized.

I hugged him. Oof came out of his mouth because he was surprised. "Well, just get up to your rooms."

We went up to our rooms. My head still ached so I finished my left over alcoholic drink and threw that away. I put on some classical music—on low—and fell asleep.

What a weird graduation. I got engaged, graduated, and got drunk beyond belief. Minus the hangover, it was actually kind of fun.
