A/N: I know you all probably hate me for not updating. Let me explain though…

I started Driver's Ed last Thursday.

Monday I had driver's Ed till six. Tuesday I had driver's Ed till six but then had to be back at school for our chorus rehearsal at seven. It takes me thirty minutes to get home from school so I didn't get home that night till 9:30. The same thing happened on Wednesday.

On Thursday we had the concert, which meant that I didn't get home till around ten. Friday driver's ed ended earlier than normal but my parents are at a party so I've been a little occupied with my grandparents. Once again, sorry for my rambling.

Chapter 46

The door creaked open slowly and the hallway light poured in hitting Bella's beautiful face. She rolled back into my side and I couldn't resist but to wrap my arms around her. It still amazed me how accepting she had been about everyone's situation. Still, she loved me the same and I was a monster. I wasn't the prince coming for his princess; I was a monster who didn't deserve to be happy. You never hear about the vampire getting the girl do you?

"Edward." Bella mumbled in her sleep and I smiled leaning down to kiss her forehead. "I love you Edward." She smiled and cuddled closer into my side.

I felt my heart melt. She had no idea the effect she had on me. I would give her the world, if she'd let me. I was so stupid to think that leaving would make her any safer. James was still out there along with his gang. I wasn't going anywhere, not for a while.

"Edward?" Alice spoke softly as to not wake Bella.

I looked up to see Alice lithely sit on to the bed. She watched Bella curl up next to me and smiled. "You two are so cute together." She giggled.

I grinned and looked back to Alice. "What's up?"

She seemed to pull papers out of thin air and she held them all up for me to see. "Where do you want to go to school? I have to type some kind of letter out for Bella to send to Charlie." She explained.

I nodded. "Ah, um just pick a rainy place. I want to be able to be with Bella nine out of ten times."

Alice nodded. "England it is."

I'm sure my eyes bulged out of my head. "England?"

She twisted her body to reach something behind her and then was holding a passport. "Here's your passport Mr. Cullen." She paused. "You are now a senior at James Franklin Prep school."

I took the passport from her and flipped through it. Amazingly enough everything was there. My parents were Carlisle and Esme Cullen. I had four siblings and it stated my Forks address. She also handed me another one.

"This is Bella's." I opened Bella's to see her senior picture. It stated all her information and even had her mom's address in Jacksonville.

"How did you get her senior picture?" I asked a little amused.

Alice smiled deviously. "With Jasper's connections there isn't anything I couldn't get. I could probably get the code for the Bank of America if I wanted to."

Bella turned in her sleep so she was facing away from me. I watched as she turned again dangerously close to the edge. Her arms felt for something and then she frowned and sat up.

"Edward?" She asked while looking around. Her hair was like a haystack on her head and she looked around for me.

I watched as her eyes adjusted to the dim lighting and then reached my hand out to stroke away a loose strand of hair. The warmth was amazing as she pressed her cheek into my hand and sighed. "I thought you left me."

I leaned in and placed a soft kiss on her ear before whispering into it. "Only if you wish for me to go."

She wrapped her arms around my body and urged be back onto the bed. I complied with her and she laid her head back on my chest with her arms securely around my frame. "Never." She stated forcefully placing butterfly kisses up and down my chest.

"Then it shall be." I said in agreement.

"You promise?" She asked while looking me full in the eyes.

I hesitated. "Have I broken any promises yet?"

She shrugged. "I guess not. You did find your way back to me."

I leaned down to kiss her forehead and my arms wrapped around her. If someone could have taken a picture there was no doubt that you could see the intensity in every movement. She could do the simplest things and show me that she loved me. I on the other hand was trying not to kill her. One squeeze too tight or even a flick of my finger could send her to the grave I never wanted to see.

I glanced back down at her to see her eyes closed and her breathing evenly. That's when I realized the absolute truth. Bella's grave might not be far off. I knew that when she was gone that I would be no more. I had found my soul mate and knowing that she would be dead could nearly kill me. I didn't want her to die but she deserved the full coming of age experience.

I remember the nights that we use to climb in the back of my old truck and talk about growing old. We would've had a little house with a whitewashed fence. There would be a little boy and little girl playing in the yard with a puppy.

Speaking of puppies… there was a scratch on the door. Bailey's soft whimpers came from the other side. I hadn't seen her since I first walked into the door. I figured Emmett was taking care of her. He was so good with her I think Rose was secretly impressed. She'd always wanted kids.

He missed his mother though. I slid out of Bella's embrace and lightly padded over to the door leaving a puppy-sized crack for Bailey to get in. She sat at the door and tilted her head perking her ears. I smiled and picked him up pulling her into my arms. She licked my hand and bit it lightly.

I chuckled to myself and placed her on the bed next to Bella. I watched with amusement as Bailey wriggled her way into Bella's still arms. I leaned over and kissed Bella's temple and then once again wrapped my arms around her sleeping form. This was heaven.

The light poured into the window and I yawned rubbing my eyes sleepily. There was a light movement at my side and I looked down to see Bailey yawn and then she sneezed. I giggled and she looked at me like she was crazy. Suddenly the door burst open and the wind from it hit my face.

"Don't even think about it pup!" Emmett growled while darting for Bailey. He picked her up and then he was gone in a flash.

Edward strutted through the door holding a tray filled with various foods. "Good morning love, breakfast is served."

I ran my eyes over the foods and decided to have a little taste of everything. There were waffles, French toast, bacon, grits, hash rounds, and eggs. "I can't eat all this." I started in amazement.

Edward chuckled. "Don't worry, Esme didn't know what you wanted and she didn't have any chocolate chips."

I grinned. "You remembered?"

He nodded. "How could I forget chocolate chip pancakes at IHOP the morning after the dance. It was my reward."

I looked down at my hand to see the silver and blue engagement ring that was still prestigiously placed on my finger. I couldn't help that my thoughts lingered on the perfect wedding day that every girl had dreamed of. It was hard to believe that I could ever have a wedding now. I wouldn't be with Edward like I had so long waited for. I would never have the perfect wedding.

I frowned and then glanced at Edward who was watching me intently. "What's the plan?"

He shrugged. "England."

I smiled weakly. "Okay."

I finished my breakfast and Edward walked downstairs to put up the tray. That gave me a little time to think. Did Edward still want to marry me? I knew that he didn't want to change me but I was sure that he would warm up to the idea. A tear slid down my face.

Alice pranced through the door with a pen held in her ear and a multitude of papers. "Okay Bella, what do you want your electives to be?"

I quickly wiped away the tear. "Anything but PE?"

Alice giggled. "Lucky for you PE isn't required."

She thrusts some papers at me and then started moving around the room pulling out random drawers. "I was thinking you would like something like creative writing or maybe drama."

I scrunched my nose. "I don't know about drama."

She threw her hands up. "Live a little Bella. You can't always be shy. I'll even take it with you." She offered.

"I'll think about it." I settled it.

"Fine." She shot back.

I watched as Alice proceeded to pull out random clothes and stuff them into a bag she found in the closet. "Where are we going to live?" I asked.

She turned to me and her face fell. "Well, we found a really nice apartment right across from the school. It's actually the only apartment complex suitable with in a forty mile radius."

I smiled. "That's great!"

"There's only one thing." She frowned.

I tilted my head in confusion. "And that would be?"

"No pets allowed."

A/N: Okay so once again sorry for the late update. I've been super busy! Anyway the next chapter will be more discussion and then possibly England? I'm still not sure. There was a lot of fluff in this chapter and there will be a reapperance of James. I have a plan and everything… if you are curious about what it is, think "The point of no return" from Phantom of the Opera.
