Author's note: Yeah um sorry for not updating I was so busy. Anyway I don't own Twilight
Chapter 28: Arrival.
Edward POV:
Bella looked as pale as she did when her life was being sucked out of her. She was frightened of the strawberry-blond vampires whose affection was annoying and very deep. She always worried about my relations to Tanya, but it wasn't my fault she tried to make a move on me. I crushed her quivering form to my chest.
"When is she coming Alice?" I asked her sullenly. At least if I knew I could get out of there in time. Alice frowned.
"She'll be here for prom Edward. She wants to go with you." She stated bleakly. I had no choice but to comply. Tanya didn't know I was in love and no longer wanted her affections shown towards me. Her coming on prom made it worse. I thought things through about my relationship with Bella and I came down to one thing. I loved her and wanted her to be mine. I was planning on asking her hand in marriage at prom. She would be stunningly dressed in her blue gown, her chocolate locks spilling out of a messy bun. Her make-up would be a minimum coat, only mascara and eyeliner to make her doe-like eyes pop against her pale skin, which would have a faint flush of excitement and embarrassment. I would lead her to a pavilion out near the school gym so we could be alone. I would kiss her softly and gently, my ice lips meeting her irresistibly warm ones, and then I would go down on one knee and ask her hand in marriage. I, of course, fantasized her saying yes, but I had pictured her saying no. I would have no choice but to let her leave.
"Edward. EDWARD!" Alice yelled.
"Yes Alice? I'm right here you do not have to yell." I said, mockingly annoyed.
"Well sorry you zoned out. We have a situation on our hands. She'll be here in……."
"Oh Edward where are you? I know you're shy but I'm here now." That voice, that speech. It could only mean one thing. I was in so much trouble.
Bella POV:
Tanya's voice was not like any other voice I heard. It was the same honey sound, but it sounded nasally like Lauren or Jessica. It sickened me, turned my stomach. This was the vampires that loved—loves—Edward. I don't want to lose him to her, yet I feel as though I can't. I don't know. She walked into the living room. Looking at her, I could tell she was stunning. Her locks were rich and silky, cascading around her pale shoulders. Her eyes were wide with child-like joy, though I knew it would be gone soon and it would be my fault. Her body was perfectly toned and her smile was extraordinarily white.
"It's been a long time Edward." She spoke to my other half, her bell-like voice entrancing and seductive. I wondered how Edward ever chose me over her. He didn't smile when he responded.
"Yes it has. I have a girlfriend now. She is right here. Her name is Bella." He said. He looked at me and nodded encouragingly.
"n-nice to meet you." I stuttered out. She smiled a predator's smile. She knew she could take me out in under a second. I extended my hand for a shake, and she stuck hers out, crushing my human bones. She didn't break any, but her hand was like a vice.
"Yes a lot has happened hasn't it? Here I am, coming all the way from Alaska to take you to your prom and you're on the arms of another girl." She said. It wasn't in a mean tone, but rather a mocking tone. Edward stiffened.
"Yes well I am sorry but I have to escort my lovely girl. Who knows who would advance on her at the prom? Besides, she would not leave the house if I was not her boyfriend." He said confidently. I on the other hand felt like he was digging my grave.
"Let me show you to a room you can stay in." Alice said her eyes unfriendly and cold. She was no less thrilled than I was that Tanya had appeared. Somehow as the strawberry blond heartbreaker left the room, I a feeling of sudden doom over Edward's and my head. I tried to convince myself nothing would happen, but I couldn't shake the feeling. I pondered this thought until stone-cold lips met mine in a sweet kiss, telling me everything was alright, and I couldn't help losing my sense in that kiss.
A/N: I am so sorry. I truly am cruel, but I have been busy studying for finals. Our English teacher has me on the edge freaking out about learning 100 definitions from my English book. Anyway the next chapter is prom. Leave a review on the way out. I have to go to a friend's house. PEACE /\_/\
