Chapter 25

Lover, I Will Not Give Up

Beep…Beep…Beep

Seriously? What is that annoying beeping? I thought my alarm clock sounded different…oh…god…

I heard new voices and saw blurs of people above me. "Carlisle,…blood…a lot…head." Alice's voice said.

My body started convulsing. "My wrist!" I screamed as best I could. I then clamped my teeth together.

"He bit her…?" Alice said almost surprised.

The rest was a blur and I think I blanked out for a bit before I heard.

"You have to Edward or she'll turn into one of us." Carlisle said.

"No! I wont let her be a monster. But I wont be able to stop." My angels voice said. He sounded so pained. I knew he could though. I hope he would hurry though. The pain the traveling up my arm. I heard a sigh then a whisper next to my ear. "I'm sorry, Ronnie."

It all came back to me. James. James torturing me. Edward crashing through the sky light. James biting me. Everything.

My eyes flickered open, but soon closed because of the bright light. That can only mean one thing…I'm in a hospital. Wonderful. I tried again, more prepared and succeeded but not without a couple of blinks.

I looked over to my side and saw my mom holding her face in her hands. "Mom?" I said, my voice resembling a man. I coughed to clear it but winced when a sharp pain went through my ribs.

"Ronnie? Oh my baby!" My mother looked up so fast I feared her head might spin off.

"Where am I?" I asked wondering if I was back in Portland or not.

"In Indiana sweet heart. When you left like that…" She trailed off. "Anyways, Edward told us that he and Dr. Cullen went after you to try and change your mind and come back. They found you at our old house. Apparently you fell through those old stupid stairs and broke your arm AND dislocated your shoulder. Once they pulled you out, you were still unstable and fell through a window and cut your head and bruised a couple ribs. What in the world were you thinking going back to that unsafe house?" She explained in a big rush.

"Wow." I sighed, getting annoyed at the oxygen tube thing in my nose. I also cant believe Edward made that lie up, I guess he had plenty of time to learn. "I thought it was safe to just stay there before heading to Grams."

"Oh honey." She pulled me into a awkward hug since I was still laying down. "I'm just glad your okay and that Edward and Dr. Cullen was there."

"Where's everyone else?" I asked looking around the empty room

.

"Your dad had to stay home with the kids and Edward and Dr. Cullen are outside waiting."

"Do you think I could talk-?"

"Of course honey." She stood up and walked out the door. Not two seconds later did Edward come in and close the door.

He sighed and sat down in the chair my mom was just sitting in. His eyes were pitch black and his face like stone. "What's wrong?" I asked.

He looked into my confused eyes. "Do you know how worried I was when you weren't there at the airport?" he asked.

"I had to. I thought they had my sister. Please, Edward, I'm so sorry. Please." I begged, tears gathering in my eyes.

Edward cupped my head in his hands. "Don't be. If it wasn't for knowing me you wouldn't even be in this mess." He looked away from my eyes. "Ronnie you have to ignore me from now on."

That's when I finally snapped. "What? Are you joking? How do you think I can just do that, after everything? How, Edward. No, I wont. I cant." I finished in a softer tone.

He squinted his eyes together and opened them again. His eyes showed his complete failure of taking care of me. I knew that's what he was thinking. Just the look on his face said it all.

"Please, don't make me forget everything we have. I love you so much." I said putting my hands over his.

"I don't think I could if I tried." He smiled lightly. "Oh, Ronnie, I love you so much." He brought his face closer to mine and brushed his lips with mine. The familiar cold making me smile against his lips. "I think we should stop before I give you a heart attack." He chuckled. That's when I noticed that my heart monitor was going berserk.

I laughed, smiling up at my beautiful…boyfriend? No that didn't do this relationship enough justice. Soul mate? To cliché. Lover? Eh, I'll just go with that.

"I love you my lover." I smiled.

He out right grinned. "Lover?" I nodded with a firm nod. "I love you too,…lover."

I slipped on my silver flats to complete my outfit for…prom. Yes, I'm going to prom, only because my mom and Lorraine are forcing me to. Believe me if Lorraine was old enough she would've gone too.

I turned around to face Lorraine, Sarah, Jessica, and Kim. "So...?"

"Woo!"

"HOT!"

"Pretty!"

"Yummy!" Sarah finished off. I laughed at them and turned around to face the mirror again. I saw myself with a navy blue floor length dress that has this silver design under the bust and for the straps. My arm was still in a sling from my 'little adventure' but that was all that was noticeable. My hair was down in its usual waves and my make up was natural but with blue eyeliner to accent my dress better. I smiled.

"Come on, time to show everyone else." Sarah announced, grabbing hold of my free hand and dragging me out of my room and down the stairs. My mom was there snapping pictures already while I blushed. I also noticed Charlie there in a tux beside his date Jenna. I like her, she had brains and she was beautiful.

"Oh honey you look gorgeous." My mom gushed. She took me into a tight hug.

"Thanks."

The doorbell rang and I never knew my heart could beat this fast. My dad opened the door and let in Edward. He was beyond gorgeous in his black tux with navy blue tie. His hair was as crazy as the day I met him and his eyes the topaz color I love.

His eyes immediately met mine and his crooked smile took place on his perfect face. He closed the space between us, avoiding the kids littering around everyone, and brought me into a hug.

Flash.

"Mom!" I groaned. I turned to her accusingly and she hurriedly turned around and started snapping photos of Charlie and Jenna. I sighed and faced Edward, pecking his cheek.

"You look beyond beautiful." He whispered in my ear.

I blushed and responded. "As do you, lover." I smiled.

After a half an hour of pictures with every possible combination between everyone in the whole house, Charlie and Jenna left in his old green car and Edward and I in his Volvo.

Once Edward parked and we were walking through the parking lot to the school gym I was already excited. For a girl who loves to read and likes being alone, I love school dances of any kind. I never missed one in middle school or high school back in Indiana.

"Hey, Ronnie?" I heard behind me. Edward visibly stiffened when he saw who it was.

I turned around and saw Jacob. "Oh, hey Jacob." I smiled walking toward him.

"I'm going to go talk to Alice, I'll be right back, love." Edward said walking away.

"So what are you doing here?" I asked smiling.

"Um its kind of embarrassing." he said nervously. "But you look great by the way."

"Thanks." I blushed. "Hey, no changing the subject!" I smacked his shoulder playfully.

"Sorry. Well, its just my dad kinda paid me twenty bucks to come here and tell you this," He made quotation marks in the air with his hands. "'We'll be watching.'"

I chuckled nervously. "Well, alrighty then."

"Yeah, well have a nice time, Ron." He stepped forward to hug me, but when he opened his arms I felt a arm slip around my waist pulling me back slightly.

"Ready, Ronnie?" Edward said glaring at Jacob.

"Uh, yeah." I sent an apologetic look toward Jacob. "Bye Jacob.

"Bye."

Once the ridiculous prom photo was taken we headed into the balloon covered, decorated gym. I smiled looking at everything. It looked like Casino Monte-Carlo.

"Excited?" Edward asked.

"Yes! I always loved dances, except the loud music!" I said raising my voice for reason.

He laughed. "Wanna go outside?"

"Definitely." We waved as we passed some of my friends and smiled at others who waved.

When we made it outdoors, it was like there was fairy lights all over the place. Edward led us into the gazebo that was decked out in lights.

"This reminds me of fairy lights." I said randomly, still looking around.

"Yeah, it does." Edward said looking around also. Then Edward extended his hand smiling his crooked smile. "May I have this dance?"

I smiled and nodded, wrapping my right arm around his neck and having my left arm in the sling stay between us, which was really bothering me. Edwards arms incased around my waist, sending shivers down my spine.

I looked up into his eyes, a question that's been bothering me coming to the front of my mind. "Why didn't you let the venom spread?"

His brow creased. "Because I don't want you to be a monster. I don't want you to become soulless."

"Your not a soulless, Edward. Believe me, I am grateful you did though. I wasn't prepared." I said leaning my head on his shoulder.

"You don't need to be prepared." He said simply.

I jerked my head up. "What? While I grow old and wrinkly and you stay young a beautiful. I don't think so. And are you just going to let me die?"

"Ronnie, please, not now. We'll discuss this when the time is right." I sighed, giving up, for now.

But as I stared up at Edward I knew that's all I wanted in my life. A future and forever with him, my lover. I wont give up, but for now I will. I'll let us enjoy ourselves this one night and maybe in a couple of years the time will be right. All I know is that I'm not getting wrinkly and old while Edward will forever stay young a beautiful. I will not give up my love for him, because I know without him I will be nothing but a empty shell.

The End
