Edward's Nightmare

Chapter 38:Promises

Bella's Point Of View

Pleased to announce that I am now a beta Reader, Such joy comes from completing my accomplishment of becoming a beta .

I spent the next hour talking to Jacob then he fell asleep, exhausted from the day's events. I decided that this was as good as time as any to go home, I knew by now that Edward would be extremely worried, I was surprised he had contained his anxiety I half expected him to come running to me at any moment.

I knew where the boundary line was so, when I saw him sitting on a rock I wasn't surprised in the least. I slowed the car to allow him to get in; once the door opened he went in to a flurry of words.

"Bella?" he asked, my unease was clearly written on my face.

"Edward." I said, acknowledging his presence without taking my eyes off the road.

"I should have told you, I'm sorry."

"We can talk when we to your house." I said harshly.

I don't know exactly why but he closed his mouth, not saying another word the whole way, he did not take his eyes off me either.

I parked Alice's car in the garage and I got out and walked over to the porch where I settled myself onto the top step. Edward closely behind me.

"What I don't understand is how you could keep this from me. I may not be happy with Jacob but the hell I deserve to know they found him and what happened." I yelled.

"Bella, I wasn't sure how you would react to the news and I didn't think you were ready to know." He said.

"That's exactly it Edward, you didn't think. Yes it may be a overwhelming but for god sake he is my best friend, I am going to be there to help him. I'm not going to cower away because it may be a little hard on me."

He stayed quiet the whole time I was speaking; he listened carefully and watched my face. I could tell he could feel just how angry I was.

"I'm sorry Bells, I really am." He pleaded.

"It just makes me wonder what else you're not telling me." I admitted.

Edward's arms were around me in seconds and he was holding me in a warm hug.

"Bella, I'm not hiding anything from you. Yes I do realise it was a mistake keeping you away from Jacob that little bit longer than I should have but Bella you only just got out of the hospital last night. One mistake I will never make again, in my entire existence." He pledged.

"I know, I just wish you told me." I muttered, my head leaning on his chest.

"How is he anyway?"

I looked up at Edward.

"Haven't you spoken to Carlisle?" I asked.

"No, not about Jacob."

"According to Carlisle the "wolf gene" has been burned away by your venom. He is now completely human and is coming to school with us on Monday." I added the last part hoping he would catch on.

"School?"

"Yes, Billy enrolled Jake to start at Fork's high tomorrow."

He seemed a little distracted by something going on in that gorgeous head of his. My anger almost completely vanished.

"There was something else I wanted to ask you." I began, drawing his attention back to me.

"Anything Bella." He said as he smiled at me. I think he felt guilty.

"I want to stay with you. I want to become a vampire." I said the delicate words lightly it felt like I was tiptoeing across a rope high in the air.

"Anything but that." He said sharply.

He tried to look stern but I could see a hint of joy in his eyes.

"Why not? I love you, I love this family and I want to stay with you forever."

"It makes me happier than you can imagine that you want to spend forever with me, but I will not let tenuous circumstances influence your decision. When everything is back to normal and you still want to change, I will gladly do it for you. But not before." He said.

I couldn't stop the grin that formed on my face. I stared into his eyes and knew that he was telling the truth about being happy that I want to stay with him, forever.

"Really?" I asked, still a little shocked.

"Yes, really." He said with a smile.

I couldn't hold in my joy any longer. I turned to Edward and hugged him, more like squeezed him.

He kissed my forehead.

"I have to tell Alice."

We walked hand in hand into the entrance hall, then to the lounge room where I found Alice and Jasper sitting watching a movie.

Strangely the movie was on pause; Alice jumped off the couch and ran to me.

"He said yes!" I exclaimed.

"I know I saw it, oh this is such a happy moment. This calls for a shop."

"Whoa, hold on their Alice." Began Edward.

"Shopping for what?" I asked.

"The perfect dress for you to wear when my dear brother Edward changes you." She said as she smiled, her perfect teeth shining through.

"What colour?" Jasper asked.

"Blue, its Edward's favourite on Bella."

I turned to look at Edward, he looked slightly embarrassed, I raised a eyebrow.

"Siblings." He muttered.

Emmett came strolling in with a large book; the sight looked a little odd. Emmett the prankster was doing a Sudoku book, strange.

"What's all the fuss?" He asked.

"Bella' joining the family!" squealed Alice.

Edward and I shared worrying glances.

"He finally proposed did he?" Emmett said.

My mouth dropped open; I looked at Edward who looked like he was going to kill Emmett.
