I woke up to a cold side of the bed where Edward is supposed to be laying. I sat up and looked around. He wasn't in here. I smelt food coming from the kitchen. I put on a black cami and some plaid pajama shorts. I put my hair in a pony tail and then left the room, expecting Edward to be in there. I saw Alice over the stove. "Alice, where is Edward?" I asked.
"He's getting ready for tonight," she said. I looked at her, confused. "It's a surprise. He wouldn't even tell me. All he told me to do was get you ready in something really pretty and to meet him at a place I'm not allowed to tell you," she said, smiling.
"Meaning you know where he is taking me?" I asked. She nodded.
"We're actually meeting him at the location," she said. I smiled.
"When do we need to be there?" I asked. She looked at the clock and I did the same.
"Damn, you slept late. We need to be there in 4 hours," she said, noticing it was 3:00. I went further into the kitchen and then ran into the bathroom, throwing up. Alice got a rag and put it behind my neck, trying to help ease the nauseous feeling. I groaned.
"Sorry, Ali, but that food smelt revolting," I said. She looked at me with raised eyebrows.
"Bella, I cooked your favorite breakfast," she said. I groaned.
"The baby apparently doesn't like it," I said. She giggled.
"Well, go cook something that you think tastes good while I get your outfit and decide what to do with your hair tonight," she said. I nodded and left to go into the kitchen. I pulled out some leftover pizza. I looked around and got out the peanut butter with some salsa. I poured the salsa into a bowl and grabbed a spoon for the peanut butter. While the pizza was warming up, I was eating the peanut butter with the spoon. Alice walked in and her mouth fell open. "Bella, you hate peanut butter," she said. I shrugged.
"Baby was craving pizza, peanut butter, and salsa," I said. Her nose wrinkled up and she held her stomach.
"I think I'm going to be sick," she said, running to the bathroom. I ate up all my food and then ran into the bathroom.
"Alice, are you okay?" I asked. She nodded.
"Did you eat all of that food?" she asked. I nodded. "Good, I'll be fine now. That sounded like an awful combination," she said. I shrugged.
"It was good to me," I said. She shuddered.
"Get into the shower and brush your teeth. Edward won't want to smell pizza, peanut butter, and salsa on your breath when y'all kiss," she said. I smiled and hopped into the shower. I got out and looked in the mirror. I put my hand on my stomach and smiled. I put on a robe and sat down on the chair Alice laid out for me.
"Alright, Alice, I'm in the chair, come on in," I yelled. She skipped in and smiled.
"I just got off the phone with Edward and he told me everything," she said, smiling.
"So, I get to know now," I said. She smirked and shook her head. I grumbled.
"You'll love it and it'll be better a surprise," she said. I groaned.
"That doesn't help me at all, Alice," I said. She smiled. I sat in the chair for two hours while she worked on my hair and make-up. She handed a dress and told me to put it on. I did and then put on the shoes she handed me.
"Look at yourself, now," she said, smiling. I walked over to the full body mirror and looked at myself. I gasped.
"Alice, you did an amazing job," I said, hugging her. She smiled.
"The make-up is waterproof, so, if needed, you can cry," she said. I nodded. My hair was curled down and pinned half-up. It had white flower pins holding it up. I had a tiara on that was completely beautiful. It had the Cinderella carriage shape with a big diamond in it. My make-up was sparkly silver eye-shadow with a silver eye liner. I had blue mascara on. I lip gloss on. My dress was light blue. It tied under my breasts and then went down. It puffed out a little bit, but not much, and ended about mid thigh. The breasts were sparkly and silver. I had on silver sparkly heels that wrapped around my foot. She smiled. "Let's go. We can't be late," she said. I nodded and we left to go to her Porsche. We walked out and I locked the door to the house. She led me to the passenger seat. I thought I heard her mumble "I hate how far his safe house is from the city," but I could be mistaken. We drove for two hours. Sometimes I thought we were driving in circles, but I could be wrong. Alice knows her way around Los Angeles. We pulled up at the concert hall at 8:00. I heard music blasting out of it.
"Alice, what are we doing here?" I asked.
"This is where he's at," she said. She got out of the car. I followed and the press went crazy.
"Bella, why are you so dressed up for a concert?" one asked.
"Bella, did you just get out of rehab?" another one asked. I walked in and rolled my eyes.
"Really, they think I was in there for rehab?" I asked. Alice shrugged. Edward walked me to the point of where we could see Edward and he could see us. He smiled even brighter and winked at me.
"Alright, guys, now, this not song is something I wrote a few weeks ago, it's called 'It Will Rain'," he said. The music started and I smiled.
If you ever leave me, baby.
Leave some morphine at my door
'Cause it would take a whole lot of medication
To realize what we used to have, we don't have it anymore
There's no religion that could save me
No matter how long my knees are on the floor.
So keep in my mind all of the sacrifices I'm making
To keep you by my side and keep from walking out the door
'Cause there'll be no sunlight, if I lose you, baby
There'll be no clear skies, if I lose you, baby
Just like the clouds, my eyes will do the same, if you walk away
Every day, it'll rain, rain, rain
I'll never be your mother's favorite
Your daddy can't even look me in the eyes
Ooh, but if I was in their shoes, I'd be doing the same thing
Sayin', "There goes my little girl walkin' with that troublesome guy"
But they're just afraid of something they can't understand
Ooh, but little darlin' watch me change their minds
Yeah, for you, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try
I'll pick up these broken pieces 'til I'm bleeding if that'll make you mine
'Cause there'll be no sunlight, if I lose you, baby
There'll be no clear skies, if I lose you, baby
Just like the clouds, my eyes would do the same
If you walk away, every day it'll rain, rain, rain
Ooh
Don't just say goodbye
Don't just say goodbye
I'll pick up these broken pieces till I'm bleeding if that'll make it right
'Cause there'll be no sunlight, if I lose you, baby
There'll be no clear skies, if I lose you, baby
Just like the clouds, my eyes would do the same.
If you walked away, every day it would rain, rain, rain
Ooh
The song ended and I was bawling. "That song was written for my lovely princess, or as y'all know her, Bella Dwyer," he said, making the audience go wild. "Will y'all help me invite her out here?" he asked, looking directly at me. They started chanting my name. I smiled and walked out, wiping the tears away. "Now, Bella, Alice and I got together to bring you here so I could see about something," he said. I looked at him, confused. He smiled. "Bella, I've experienced life without you after I had you and I never want to experience that again. I love you and I want to spend every waking moment with you and start a family with you, but before all that happens. I need to ask you one thing. Isabella Marie Swan, would you do me an extraordinary honor, high privilege, and make the happiest and luckiest man alive by marrying me?" he asked, getting down on one knee. I gasped and started crying. I put my hand on my mouth in amazement. The crowd started cheering for me to say 'yes'. I nodded my answer. Edward smiled and kissed me, spinning me around in his protective arms. He let go of me and slipped the ring on my finger, making the crowd go wild. I looked at ring and gasped. It was gorgeous. It was round with silver diamond covering it. Suddenly, music started. I looked up at Edward, confused, and saw he was smiling. Alice came out, along with Rosalie. They grabbed me and smiled.
"You can dance in those heels, right?" Alice asked. I looked at her.
"I dance better barefoot," I said, taking off my shoes and kicking them backstage. Just then, Edward started singing.
"It's a beautiful night. We're looking for something dumb to do. Hey, baby, I think I wanna marry you. Is it that look in your eyes or is it this dancing juice? Who cares, baby, I think I wanna marry you," Edward sang, grabbing my hand and starting to dance around randomly. The back-up dancers started doing a rehearsed dance with Edward, while Alice and Rosalie were dancing randomly with me. "Well, I know this little chapel on the boulevard we can go. No one will know. So, come on, girl… Who cares if we're trashed, got a pocket full of cash, we can blow, shots of patron and it's on girl," he sang, winking at me. I laughed. He started jumping around and clapping. "Don't say no, no, no, no, no. Just say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah and we'll go, go, go, go, go, if you're ready, like I'm ready," he sang. I smiled. He sang the rest of the song while we all danced around, completely unrehearsed. The crowd was clapping along to the beat and the song ended. I smiled and then all of my happiness was shattered when a random guy jumped on stage and jumped on Edward, tackling him to the ground. I gasped, as did the entire audience. I ran over to him. "Bella, get back," Edward chocked out since the guy had his hands around his neck.
"No, Edward," I said.
"For the baby," he said. The audience's gasps were so loud at that point. He still had his microphone on so they heard that. I went backstage and sat down. A few minutes later, I heard the ambulance pull up and the stretcher being pulled from the stage. I gasped when I saw the locks of bronze hair on the stretcher. The guy walked backstage.
"I'm sorry," he said.
"Go to hell," I snapped, running after the ambulance. I jumped in the back with him and held his hand the entire time we were on the way to the hospital. They had just stuck the IV in his arm when I felt him squeeze my hand. "He's waking up," I said. They looked at me, skeptical. They didn't look that way for long before he groaned.
"Where am I?" he asked. I giggled.
"In an ambulance," I said. He looked at me. "You were attacked on stage. He choked you until you were unconscious," I explained. He nodded. We arrived at the hospital and Edward went to the room. I sat patiently in the waiting room. The doctor walked out.
"Edward Masen's family," he said. I stood up. Alice and Rose left after I told them he was fine. The doctor smiled and walked over to me. "Edward will be just fine," he said. I smiled. "He has a concussion from the fall, but everything will be okay," he said, smiling. "He is getting ready to leave now. He's on some serious pain medication. He's a little loopy. Don't worry, he'll be just fine. You might want to record it, though," he said, chuckling. I nodded. All of a sudden, Edward stumbled out of the doors.
"Bella!" he said, running up to me. I giggled.
"Hey, Edward," I said.
"Did I ever ask you to marry me?" he asked. I laughed.
"Yes, baby, you did," I said.
"Oh. Well, I guess you said yes since you're in the hospital with me," he said. I laughed.
"Let's go home," I said. He nodded. We walked out of the hospital and Edward turned to me.
"Am I gonna get laid tonight?" he asked, once in the safety of the car. I bit my lip to keep my laughter in, but failed terribly.
"Nope, sorry, Hun, you've got a concussion," I said. He sighed.
"That sucks," he said. I laughed. God, I love this boy.
How many people love when Edward is loopy off pain medication? I do! He is so freaking funny! Love you guys! Review and let me know what you thought! They're engaged! Edward is such a sweetheart! Oh! The crowd knows Bella is preggers! Lol!
