BPOV
Christmas.
They say it's the greatest time of year. I disagree with that completely. Who likes snow and ice covering the ground. It's seriously an accident waiting to happen.
Billy and Jake were already here. In the family room, chilling with Charlie. While I sat in the kitchen making dinner, with the phone inbetween my shoulder and ear. Talking with my Edward.
We got together exactly two weeks ago. But the less time didnt matter because we were together previous for six months and two days.
Today I was making turkey, corn, seasoned red potatoes, greenbeans, mashed potatoes and cranberries. All by myself, no help. The cranberries were ready and in the fridge. The mashed potatoes were cooking. Turkey in the oven as well as the red potatoes.
I leaned against the counter a sigh falling from my lips.
" I am so exhausted." I stated
He chuckled " I know baby. You'll sleep well though." He said.
I groaned.
" Maybe I'll sneak through your window to give you your gift."
I laughed " No, we have to wait til' tomorrow. I wrapped my present and I dont know if it can fit through our tiny windows and plus the porch is frozen ice." I told him
" I told you, I dont want anyting for Christmas but agreement." He said.
" You keep saying that. What do you mean. Wait! Your not asking me to marry you right? I love you and all but give me a year or twenty." I said.
He chuckled " You'll have to wait and see."
I heard the guys yelling at the television.
" Well I love you, tell Alice and your parents Merry Christmas for me. I'll call you later." I said.
" Alright, Love. I love you too." He said
I pressed the off button on my cell phone and slid it into the front pocket of my jeans.
----
Finally!
Dinner was all done and was on the table. The turkey was cooked and cut to perfection. The vegtables were all seasoned and the mashed potatoes were as fluffy as a freaking cloud.
I sat down at the table with a sigh. Jake had two plates and was stuffing them with food. Shoving it in his mouth inbetween grabbing turkey.
" Hey kid. Slow down. Savor it." I told him.
He stopped and glanced at me. I rolled my eyes. I made a plate for myself.
" Thanks for dinner Bells." My dad said.
" Yaw tanks." Jake said while chewing his food
" Thanks Bella." Billy said.
I nodded in response. I ate my food in silence, while they chatted nonsense about baseball. Something that didnt catch my interest at all. Then when everyone was done they raced out of there seats.
" Merry Christmas." I whispered while staring at the empty table.
What a nice Christmas. I cleaned up the dishes and put leftovers in containers. When I finished I washed the table down and walked back to the kitchen to set the rag in the sink. I walked upstairs into my room and locked the door. I stripped off my plaid button up and kept my racerback on, I slipped on a pair of flannel pajama pants and laid down in my bed. I heard my cell buzz.
Why arent you wit
ur dad?
Edward texted
He is to engrossed
in his baseball shw
I sent back. My cell phone then rang. I turned it on.
" Sorry." He said.
I sighed " Not your fault. Christmas always sucked for me after I turned ten." I told him.
" Well in the future we will hold a fabulous Christmas together." He told me
I laughed " You seem to be talking about the future alot. Now I cant wait til' I can just get out. I mean I love being here but I am just tired of it at times. Highschool is ending and I dont have to deal with Lauren and her friend Shannon. Sorry dont mean to complain."
" Hey its alright. I feel the same I just want to put highschool behind me, go to college and make a living." He said
" We sound like were miserable."
He chuckled " Seriously. I think I would go crazy if you werent around."
" Ughh I know. I wish I had a actual functional family to have an actual Chrismas. Seriously right when they were done eating, they just left." I sighed " I spent all day making freaking dinner for them."
" Esme and Alice worked on dinner. Quite good too. But of course I helped clean."
" See you have a nice family. The ladies cook and you help clean. I swear its like crazy. I would of just appreciated them just washing the table. Stupid baseball." I stated
----
Five Months Later
May 15th
Friday
----
I cant even believe that highschool is almost ending. Edward and I had sent out applications, of course the most important to both of us was NYU. Although we sent out to Dartmouth, Cornell, hell I did Harvard for the heck of it. I had straight A's throughout the whole entire year.
Edward and I have still been going for five and a half months. Happy as ever.
Christmas presents for people were handed out. Edward loved his new seat and I thanked my lucky star (not stars because I dont have lots of luck) that it matched perfectly.
I had gotten Alice and Rose necklaces. Rose had one that had a small purse on it. It had turquise gems in it and Alice got one that a diamond high heeled shoe, that hung from it. (Necklaces in Profile)
Edward had gotten me something special. Something that was between us.
FLASHBACK
It had been a day after Christmas. I already handed out presents but Edward made me come with him. He said it was something special.
We walked into his room and he told me to sit on his bed. He went through one of his bedside drawers. He came out with a small black velvet box. He sat next to me. My palms were sweating.
" Bella, I love you and I know that you know that. Lately I have been thinking about my future." He opened the box. It held a gorgeous ring. The band was silver and it had crosses on it inbetween them there was a saphire diamond and then a regular diamond. Shit this must be expensive.
(ring in profile)
" Now. Before you jump, this is not an engagment ring. But it is a promise ring, if you accept it. The promise it will hold is that someday this will be replaced with an engagment ring. It represents that I am yours and you are mine." He said.
I felt tears well up as I looked at it.
" What do you think."
" I think I love it. And accept the promise." I said.
A breath taking smile formed on his face and he slid the ring on my ring finger. I kissed his lips sweetly.
Some may not understand, most dont. But we are meant to be
END FLASHBACK
I looked down at the ring and a smile immediatly graced my face. My father stared at it for a few days before asking me quote ' why the hell is that on your finger '. When I told him I knew he was angry by the expression he gave me. But in truth I didnt really care because he didnt understand. Alice, Jasper, Emmett and Rose were happy and Carlisle and Esme didnt think anything negative,. I got smiles. Which was better then nothing.
The school classmates. Well I was really happy they didnt see it as an engagment ring. Ahh the rumors that would of flown.
Today I came home from school exhausted. I went into the kitchen and sat down. I noticed a white envelope. My dad was smiling and he was next to it. He handed it to me
New York University, it read ontop
I went to open it but it was already open.
" Dad." I scolded
" Just open it." He said.
I lifted the flap and opened the paper
Miss. Isabella Swan.
I am happy to inform you that your application sent out to the University of New York has been accepted.
My eyes ran over the rest. A smile
" I seriously got in." I said.
My dad came over and gave me a hug.
" You did it." He said.
Then the doorbell rang. I set down my bag and walked towards it. I unlocked and opened the door. Edward right there. A smile on his face.
" You'll never guess what I got." He said.
" I dont know what you got but I know that I got an acceptance letter to NYU." I squeeled.
" Me too!" He said.
He wrapped his arms around me and lifted me up, pressing his lips to mine. He kissed me for a moment before pulling back to smile at me. He set me down on the floor and hugged me to him.
My father came into the foyer.
" I am guessing someone else got accepted." He guessed
" Yes sir, I was accepted to the same school as Bella." Edward said with a bright smile.
" Well congratulations." My father replied
" Thank you."
" Well Bells. I have a flight out to Washington for a case. I should be back in a few days alright. Keep out of trouble."
I nodded and gave him a hug. He grabbed his suitcase and trench coat, then was out of the house. I felt Edward's arms wrap around me, pulling me against his chest. I smiled.
" Want to go out for some food?" He asked.
I nodded " Sure, why not."
He grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the house, leading me towards his silver Volvo. He had the keys in his pocket. We got in the car and he sped off.
We went to a Red Robin. Simple and good. We got a table quickly and ordered drinks. He held my hand on the table.
" Excited?" He asked
" Yeah. Hey, whats your thought on photography?" I asked
He seemed to go into thought. " Whatever you want to do sweetheart. You have to go to work and do this job. What do you think?"
" I dont know. It would be kinda fun. Going to events and taking professional pictures. But I want to be a writer, write a book."
He sqeezed my hand " Do what you think would be you."
I sighed and stared blankly at the menu.
" I love you." He told me.
" I love you too." I replied
The waiter came back and we ordered our food. He left, but of course not before winking at me. A shiver ran thorugh my body.
" What kind of people do they hire now-a-days?" I asked
" I dont know but if he does that again, I may have a talk with him."
I laughed " It's okay dont worry about it. He's not man enough." I said while taking a drink of my pop.
" I'm man enough right?" He asked
" Yes, Edward."
He kissed my hand and set it down.
Our food came soon and we ate, chatting inbetween bites. Soon we finished our meal and Edward paid, ignoring my protests and complaints. We got back in his car and headed back over to my house. He helped me out of the car and we walked over to my house. I unlocked my door and stepped in, Edward right behind me. I closed and locked the door, setting my spring jacket on the hook.
Edward wrapped an arm around my waist, his hand brushed my hair out of my face. He leaned in and placed a kiss on my lips. I kissed him back softly, the kiss grew more passion filled. We somehow got up the stairs, lips still attached. We stumbled into my room, I heard the door shut. I wrapped my legs around his waist, trying to get closer. His arms held me up as he kissed me deeper and deeper. We fell onto my bed with a thump. I freed him of his shirt and ran my hands down his chest. He slid my shirt off me and kissed my neck. My body lay flat against my bed. I felt his hands on my pants zipper. He pulled away and looked at me. Asking if I was ready.
I nodded in response
----
I woke up to the sun shining brightly through my windows. I groaned and stretched out. I was a tad sore, but not bad. I opened my eyes and saw feathers covered me and my bed.
What the hell?
I looked next to me and saw Edward. He was laying on his stomach, his bare back to me. My blanket was covering him waist down. I ran a hand through my hair. It was all tangly. I laid back, still exhausted. No surprise there.
" Uggh someone turn down the sun." I heard him mutter
I stiffled a laugh. I brought the blanket over me and rubbed my eyes. Suddenly my ipod alarm went off, playing music. Have a Nice Day by Bon Jovi playing out it. I reached over Edward and clicked the snooze button. I went to pull back but he grabbed my arm and kissed it.
" Edward?" I asked.
He turned around to look at me.
" Why are there feathers everywhere?"
He blushed pink. " Well it's better the pillows then you. I was going a little crazy."
I couldnt help it, I laughed. It was funny.
He glared at me playfully and rolled onto me. He kissed my lips.
" Edward, I need a shower." I whined
" Fine."
He reluctently let me go. I kept my blanket wrapped around my body. I walked into the shower and threw it out then shut the door. I started up the water and stepped in when it was hot enough. Last night was obviously my first and it hurt so bad at first, but not for long. I washed my body and feathers came out as my hair got wet. I plucked them out and scrubbed my hair thoroughly. When I was finished I shaved my legs again quickly. When I was all done I stepped out and dried off. I put the towel around my hair and rubbed quickly. I flipped my head up straight and combed it out. I ran my hands through it and grabbed my robe, I slipped it on, then opened my door to get some clothes. Edward was sitting on my bed, all dressed. My bed was made and my waste basket was full of feather.
" You can go home and shower." I told him.
He stood up and gave me a hug and a kiss " I wanted to say goodbye. I'll see you later. Alice said she was taking you shopping with Rose." He said.
" Yeah." I said.
" Alright, I love you, see you later." He said, then walked out of my room. I sighed and grabbed my lotion from my bedside table. I rubbed it on my legs, making them nice and soft. It was pretty warm outside. We have hade a few days where it is really warm, here and there. I put on a pair of skinny jeans and a dark blue tanktop. It had silver sparkles on it. It clung to my skin nicely. I put on a shrug, the sleeves ended about a inch above my elbow and it was a silver color. I slipped on my navy blue converse and went back into the bathroom. I threw my hair in a pony tail and slipped on my glasses. I brushed my teeth, then I smoothed on my chapstick and smiled.
When I was done I bounded downstairs. My cell rang. It was laying on the floor in the foyer. My bad.
" Hello." I said
" Bella, whats up?" Alice asked
" Nothing much." I answered
" Well, you better be ready in ten." She said sternly.
I laughed " Got ya."
With that I hung up my phone and headed towards the kichen. I ate a apple and right when I threw it in the garbage, the door bell sounded. I grabbed my purse off the small table and shoved my phone in it. I opened the door, revealing Alice and Rosalie.
" Hey guys wha-"
Alice grabbed my arm. " Well talk when we get to the mall. Lets go." She said.
They dragged me outside and all but pushed me into the car. Right when Rose shut the door Alice sped out the driveway.
" Shit." I muttered under my breath.
She turned the radio on and started singing, loud. Her and Rose sang the whole way and I thanked go once it was over. I had a killer headache when I awoke this morning. Also, no surprise there.
Alice parked her Porshe and we stepped out of her car. We walked side by side together.
We walked into the mall and I slipped my sun glasses off. We walked through the mall going up the escalator.
" So Bella, your absolutely glowing today. Edward said you got into NYU." Alice said.
" Yeah."
" Did you guys celebrate?" Rose asked with a smile.
I smiled " Yeah after my dad left for his trip, Edward took me out to dinner and we hung out at my house for awhile." I said.
Evil smiles formed on their faces, shit maybe I should of mentioned Charlie leaving.
" What?" I asked innocently.
" Did Bella lose her v-card?" Rose asked
I thank god I could control my blush.
I stepped on the flat ground " Thats for me to know and for you to never find out." I said
They squeeled " So was it sweet or the opposite?" Rose asked
Why lie to her " First two times not the one after." I muttered
Both jaws dropped
" Lets shop." I said happily, my headache sudddenly dissapearing.
We went into Holister, American Eagle, Aeropostale and many others. I couldnt buy anything, but once those words slipped out of my mouth, Alice just scoffed and said she would take care of it. I didnt get much though. A few shirts and a pair of shorts. Then Alice convinced me to get a pair of black stilletos.
Rose and Alice on the other hand went nuts.
Over all we had a great time and bought clothes, it was fun to have girltime.
-----
Monday came soon. But today wasnt just a day, it was crazy day. And oh yes I plan to go all out. Not all crazy, but who I was, all weird.
May 18th live it up.
I walked to my closet and got out all of my clothes I needed. I slipped on a pair of white and black stripped leggings, that went down to the ankle, I put on a black skirt and a white shirt with a black skull design all over it. I slipped on my old combat boots and laced them up. I went to my bathroom and grabbed my black hair spray stuff. I combed and curled my hair and sprayed it on. Once I was done my hair was all black. I grabbed black eyeliner and went along my lash line then when I came to the end I kept going to my temple and swirled it out on both eyes. My lipstick was also black, I smoothed it on.
When I was all finished I walked downstairs. I accidentally bumped into Charlie
" Shit mother of god." He yelled.
I laughed.
" Hey dad."
" Bella dont go back to your old makeup style." He begged
" Crazy day." I said in a 'duh' tone.
He nodded.
----
Soon it was time to get to school. So I got into my car and sped off. When I parked in my normal spot I looked around. Lots of unmatching shoes and hot pink hair. Wow. I got out of my car.
" My baby went goth." Edward said when I approached him.
" Hey." I said.
" Wow." Alice said
" YOUR HAIR!." Rose said.
" Fake dye." I stated
----
School was interesting, even the teachers went crazy, hair dye and what not. It got old soon and I was happy when school was over. I needed a shower. Edward came in with me when I got home.
" I am going to shower." I said.
He looked over my body " Good. I need my Bella back."
I laughed and walked up the stairs to my bedroom. I set my bag on the floor by my bed and slipped my shoes off. I walked to my bathroom and shut the door once I was in. I turned the water on and stepped in when it was nice and hot. I scrubbed my hair and face really good. I washed my body and stepped out, feeling clean. I dried off and slipped into the clothes I put in here in the morning. I slipped on the jeans and my grey v-neck shirt. I put on my socks and walked out. Drying my hair. Edward was sitting on my bed eating a granola bar. He looked up when he saw me.
" Bella?" He asked nervously.
" What?"
" Are you sure that that wasnt permentant color dye." He said, now mortified.
" What?"
I didnt wait for a reply, instead I raced to the bathroom and grabbed the spray off of my counter. I read the small print.
Permenent
I couldnt help it, I screamed.
My hair!
I looked it the mirror. It was black
BLACK!
Edward raced in.
" Your hair." He said.
" My hair." I repeated, mortified as he was.
I ran a hand through it. " My pretty hair, not that I am conceeded but I had pretty hair." I said.
His hands ran through it " Your beautiful hair." He said. Man he was really upset about this.
I sighed " I'll have to grow it out." I said.
" Call Alice." He said.
" Why?"
" Maybe if you really scrub it."
I raced out of my room and grabbed my combat boots. Edward and I raced downstairs. I saw Charlie.
" Bella. What did you do to your hair?" He asked
" It wouldnt come out." I said
His eyes widdened " You better fix it. You always had nice hair."
I rolled my eyes and laced my shoes up. I handed Edward and pony tail and he put my hair up for me.
---
So here I stand. My head over the Cullens sink. Alice scrubbing my hair with shampoo, she had about half the container in there. Rose had tried also, no luck. Hell Jasper even tried.
" Ughh. I cant get it." Rose whined.
" Move." Edward said.
I felt Alice's small hands leave and Edward's hands massage my scalp trying to get it out. He rubbed a little to hard and I squeeked
" Careful."
" I want your hair back." He whined
Alice giggled " I think he is more upset then you."
After a few minutes of scrubbing, he finally rinsed my hair. I saw black come out.
" Wait. Keep going." I said.
" Why?" They asked
" I SEE BLACK." I yelled at him.
I felt more shampoo hit my hair.
" Thank god." He said.
" He's got it." Rose said.
" Yup" Jasper agreed.
After a few minutes of scrubbing, black was running out like crazy. Finally it ran clear and they wrapped a towel around my hair. I walked to Edwards room and ran to his bathroom. All of them behind me. Alice handed me a comb. I let my hair out and combed it. I still saw no black. That was a close one.
I combed threw it and put it in a pony tail.
" Thanks boys and girls." I said.
They all nodded and laughed.
What a day.
