Bella Swan

I couldn't see a thing. Oh no, my vision was absolutely fine, but Rose was covering my eyes with her hands. I had no idea what we were doing – all I knew was that we were standing in the hallway like total idiots. She and Alice had both played Bella-Barbie with me 2 hours earlier and I was not aloud at all to see my reflection. I got that, but not why they had brought me downstairs to stand in the hallway.

That was beyond weird.

A few seconds passed and I felt a cold breeze stir past me. It was that weak that I hardly believed it was there, but then it came again. This time, something touched me. I didn't jump; just let Rose remove her hands and spin me around.

I stared at what was standing in front of me. Not what, who. There he was; his messy bronze curls brushed loosely back, his emerald eyes swirling with anticipation and love. I opened my mouth but no words came out. I quickly shut it, knowing I looked like a gaping fish.

I looked down at my outfit, a blue prom-like dress that came out a little poufy at the bottom. It was beautiful, especially with the sparkles. I smiled inwardly; really happy that Alice and Rose had used their talent on me for once.

I looked up to Edward and couldn't help but smile at his black tuxedo, blue tie and flower in his hand. "You look beautiful." He muttered softly.

I laughed and looked him up and down again. "You don't look too bad yourself, Mr. Cullen."

He let out a small grin at that.

"So," I started on Rose and Alice. "I appreciate the outfits and all, but what is going on?"

Alice squealed in delight and grabbed both Edward and I by the arm. "You're going on a date!"

I shot a look towards Edward who had the same shocked expression on his face as I did. We both turned to glare at the little pixie.

She held up her hands in defense. "Hey! We all know that you love each other, so quit stalling. It got so bad your own sisters had to organize the first date!" She rolled her eyes at Rose who beamed innocently at me behind her.

I was touched tremendously to hear Alice call me her sister. It seemed to roll naturally off her lips.

Emmett came around the corner, sporting his own tuxedo with red tie. He shot me a quick eye roll before offering his arm. "Miss Swan," He nodded. "I'll be your…butler tonight."

I burst out laughing. I turned to Rose and she shot me a wink. "Someone had to do it!" She shrugged.

Emmett grumbled something unintelligibly and led me out onto the Cullen's back patio and down to the bottom of the yard where the lake was. Edward stalked quietly behind us.

The yard was absolutely beautiful. Clearly the little pixie had worked her magic. Rings and rings of fairy lights hung around all the trees like angels, and there was a blanket set down on the edge of the river with a picnic basic.

Okay, so we were going the old fashioned style. That was fine by me.

I took Edward's cold hand gently in mine and led him down to the blanket. We both sat, and I stared at the blanket awkwardly. As much as I loved Edward, I wish they'd told us beforehand we were having a date.

Emmett perched himself on the patio and sat there looking out across the yard – obviously giving us the privacy. Alice and Rosalie lingered in the upstairs windows, giggling like immature school children.

"So," I began, looking up at Edward through my lashes. "This is pretty neat, huh?"

"Alice is…" He pursed his lips. "Pretty much unpredictable, but she's a great person."

"She sure is." I peered into the picnic basket and pulled out a foil-wrapped package. I opened it smoothly and pulled out two fairy cakes. I shook my head with a laugh. "We had to have the full effects. Fairy cakes and all."

Edward laughed gracefully and took the fairy cake with the blue butter icing.

I don't know why, but seeing a person like Edward biting into a little icing covered fairy cake made me rather amused. Just like laughing at the top of my lungs at night-time back when I was a child had.

He raised an eyebrow at my laughter. "What?" He mumbled through some more cake.

"You," I stated as I climbed onto my knees. "Have some cake…right there." I reached up and swiped the cake away quickly.

He sat there for a few seconds, bone stiff, and I was starting to think I'd done something wrong. He shifted slightly and then beamed at me. Before I could blink again, he was on top of me, pressing me into the cool grass.

I stared up at him, into the pooling emerald orbs. "You are so damn beautiful…"

"As are you Miss. Swan." He murmured as he pulled us up and twirled us around. "You," He poked my nose playfully. "Are one dangerous girl."

I grinned.

Edward was a good dancer, much better than I was, and we had to stop a few times because I nearly went stumbling to the ground. He had enough and whipped my shoes off of my feet. He pulled me forwards so that my feet were on top of his, and he slowly began to spin us around.

I rested my head against his chest, my arms wrapped around his back. I felt content here. I realized that this is what I needed – peace, love, comfort. As if there was nothing else but us in the world. "You know, it's been really stressful lately." I confessed.

I felt him rest his chin on the top of my head. "I know. I'm sorry about how I've been acting; I just don't know what I'm doing. I don't know whether I want to keep going or if I want to give up."

"I want to give up sometimes too." I tried to hide the emotion in my voice, this was the first time I was truly speaking how I felt. "When I'm left alone I'll try so hard not to cry. It's like when everyone leaves and I'm alone I get so hopeless. I just want to give up. But then I think about how amazing your family are – how you are – and I just…I can't think of letting go. It'd be devastating for the others."

"That's whats stopping me." He agreed. "I really don't want to be here – I feel trapped – but the love I have for my family is really pulling me. I couldn't leave knowing I'd hurt them…"

I murmured in agreement and reached up to brush away his tears.

We continued dancing for a few more moments before he lifted me off of his feet and pulled me towards the river. "You want to go for a swim?" He asked, and I realized this had been the first time he'd spoke with no pushing.

I nodded and looked down at my dress. "I would…but I'd hate to ruin it."

He grinned and shook his head with amusement. "Bella, Alice and Rose don't care if you ruin the clothes. They have a rule – only wear special clothes once. Some clothes you can wear twice, but only if you really like them. They'll just be given to charity after this. Of course, if we swim, they'll go in the trash."

I was appalled. Beautiful clothes like this would be thrown out or donated to charity? The Cullen family were absolutely bizarre, I decided.

Before I could think about protesting, Edward pulled me forwards and we went flying into the icy river. "You know," I said thoughtfully. "You really have a thing about diving into water with your clothes on."

"Yup," He grinned playfully. "That's how I roll." He stirred up the water around him and flung it in my direction.

The coldness of the water sent shock through my veins but I quickly recovered myself and splashed him back.

He swooped me up by the waist and span me around, causing the water to swirl along with my dress. We were both laughing, letting everything go for a while and just having fun.

A while later, I was shivering wildly and trying so hard to catch my breath.

He shot me a concerned look and lifted me into his arms bridal style. "I'm sorry, Bella. I think we got a bit carried away. I hope you don't get sick."

He was shivering too, but not as wildly. I was a little tired too, so I stared into his emerald orbs the whole journey to the house.

Emmett followed behind us, happy that he didn't need to do much through the whole date. Poor him had to sit outside in the cold and watch us have fun. I was sure he'd have the girls back later.

Rose and Alice were already waiting downstairs with blankets, and whilst Rose wrapped me up, Alice wrapped up Edward. Carlisle and Esme sat on the couch, Carlisle watching us wearily.

I huddled in the warm blanket and cuddled down next to Edward. "It was a little silly of us going swimming in such weather, but it was really nice to have some fun."

He leaned into me and placed a cold kiss on my forehead. "I agree."

"Well?" Carlisle asked, crossing his arms. "I hope you two don't get sick from that. Or…" He pursed his lips. "Actually I do, your idiotic behavior is the only reason for this."

Esme smacked him and came over to give us both hugs. "Ignore him; he's just jealous I didn't take him swimming." She winked. "Why don't you two go up and get out of those wet clothes?"

I was surprised when Rose moved and took Edward by the arm and both disappeared upstairs.

Alice grinned at me. "Yay! Now I can play Bella-Barbie again."

"Um Alice…I'm only getting ready for bed."

She huffed. "Why are some girls so incredibly hard to deal with?"

I chased her upstairs, mumbling to her the whole time that I did NOT want to play another game of Bella-Barbie.

Well, I was feeling generous :') I was so happy with the 6 reviews I got, that were supporting me. Your words really did make me feel a little better, and that's probably why this chapter is so positive. It's clear though that I've lost reviewers and viewers, but I'm just grateful for the 6 that did stay and review! Thank you! :) I didn't mean to sound horrible when I said I was ashamed of Kristen…I still love her, just not as much now, cause she hurt Rob…is that so bad?

READ;

ANYWAY; I'm thinking of ending this story on chapter 30 or something, and then I might start a sequel. What do you guys think? Any ideas? Be aware, this story may not have a happy ending*

I had a lot of hate reviews from the last chapter…not because of the story, but because of my opinion at the bottom. I'm sorry about what I said, okay? I just had my opinion, and I still love Rob and Kristen so very much. I care that she cheated yes, but I still love her. I'd never hate them. I know I've lost readers because of this…and it breaks my heart. I couldn't even muster up a new chapter….so that's why it sucks so bad…sorry…can you please give me ideas for the next chapter?

Thank you so very much for all the support, favorites, reviews, story alerts, favorite author. It all means so very much to me and helps me to continue this story – and my others – to the best that I can!

Keep reviewing :')
