Book 3- Chapter 3: Edward
Heads up: Edward's Point of View through the whole chapter. I've actually never written his POV for this fic! Should be interesting!
Bella in a white dress, the red eyes, more clear. It was coming near. I was frightened, for once. We can't let this happen. She cannot leave your sight ever, she stays in one of our sights. Alice thoughts pop into my head and I nod, determined to keep her out of harm's way.
I just had to act normal, not like about fifty or more thoughts were popping to my head. Easy. "Like the colour clash?" Bella asks, humour in her voice. I grin.
"No I don't but that's not why I'm upset…angry more like. The vision of you with red eyes, it was so much clearer now. It's coming Bella, and I don't think there is any way to stop it." Alice grumbles and I sigh, of course she would tell Bella. "But now Edward will never leave your sight, I'll ask Charlie, since he is a lot nicer to me, if you can move in. I'll explain everything. You stay in Edward's room or mine if you like, there will be absolutely no need for clothes. Yes, Charlie will let you go…" Alice says with a nod as her eyes go black before returning back to its full focus. She walks and sits down next to Edward. "And you will hunt as much as possible" Alice says and Bella nods as she curls up to my side and my hand brushes over her back.
"I won't let anything happen" I whisper and she turns to look at me. I kiss her forehead and she lets out a quiet moan, so quiet so only that I can hear. Nobody notices. "I love you" I whisper in her ear. "And In around two months, just think about it. Us all alone, on our honeymoon" I whisper again and she shivers involuntarily, I smile. "That ought to do it" I say, a smirk plastered on my face. She smiles.
Jessica's speech just sounds like a blur to me, I was just focused on Bella the whole time. Stop staring at her Edward, or you'll miss your call. Emmett thinks and I grin. I walk up, take my diploma with a smile and walk over to my Bella. We throw our hats in the air, Bella laughing having the time of her life before turning to me and kissing me. I kiss her back, and start to feel something going through my nervous system. As always I end the kiss and we walk, hand in hand, back towards our families. I quickly kiss her again and walk away with a smile on my face. "Congratulations Bells" Charlie says as he smiles at her. "Your officially graduated" he says and Bella smiles at him before hugging him tightly and awkwardly.
"Congratulations Bella" Renee whispers before hugging her. I forgot she was so cold. Renee thinks and I frown. Edward…Bella's thirst…Jasper warns me and I nod. I turn to look at Charlie. We can't really go out together because of the fact that she can't eat. I hope she doesn't run off after Edward. Charlie thinks and I turn to Alice.
"Alice has planned a party, tell them" I whisper only loudly that she would hear. She nods with her eyes.
"Alice is throwing a graduation party at the Cullen house. I'm going strait there in about five or ten minutes to help set up. Will you be good if I leave?" she asks and they nod with a smile. She smiles back at them and hugs them all again, flinching at her cold, hard skin and she bids them goodbye before walking towards me.
"You'll go with Rosalie and Emmett in their car. I'll have to stay with Alice and Jasper to explain why you need to move" I say and she nods. With a sigh, she kisses me and walks away into Rosalie's red convertible and drives away. Good luck Edward, you're going to need it. Rosalie thinks and I sigh and turn to everyone that remained. Edward you'll have to introduce us when they come over in approximately…twenty one seconds. Alice thinks and I nod. I sigh and turn to the others who appear to be deep in conversation which they aren't.
"Hi Charlie" I say and he looks at me, he drags Bella's mother and Phil over with him. "I would like you to meet my Family. This is Carlisle and Esme, my mother and father" how are they so young? They look in their mid-thirties! Renee's thoughts pop into my head and I flinch. "My siblings, Alice and Jasper. Rosalie and Emmett are the ones that left with Bella." I clarify as they all smile, all except Alice, who is practically glowing in her grin.
"Hi, you must be Renee and Phil, Bella's parents from back in Jacksonville. Bella's told us everything about you. I hope you won't mind if Edward, Jasper and I talk to you three at... Charlie's house would you?" Alice asks and they look bewildered.
"Sure Alice, we'll meet you there" Charlie says and I couldn't be more thankful for Charlie in this moment and his enthusiasm for Alice or was that Jasper. I'm not doing anything Edward. Jasper clarifies and I grin as we walk into the car and drive towards Charlie's house.
"Alice all going to plan?" I ask her and she nods.
"Yes, He'll let her move. We'll have to explain the wedding situation to Renee and Phil first then grab Charlie alone, we could send Jasper out of the room… no that won't work…I'll leave the room with Renee and Phil. If I try…yes I'll get Renee involved on the wedding plans. That should give you approximately five minutes and thirty seven second to talk" Alice says and I nod nervously.
There's no need to be nervous Edward. Jasper calls from his mind. You're just casually talking to your Fiancé's parents. No biggie. Jasper says and I immediately become calm. I would probably feel annoyed later. We arrive at the house, not beating Charlie, Renee and Phil there. They are already in the living room when Charlie lets us in. We walk at a fairly normal human pace and sit across from him. Charlie sits down and looks at us, hoping for any of us to say something. "Jasper, aren't you supposed to be in Canada studying?" Charlie asks and Jasper smiles.
"Yes sir, I decided to come see the rest of my siblings graduate today. They let me take a day off" Jasper explains and I turn to him and I sigh.
"Ok so as you already know, Bella and I are getting married…" I start and Charlie turns to look at me. "There's no stopping it. I promised to make her happy and this is what she wants. I know Charlie knows more about us than Renee and Phil but Charlie…there are somethings you can't tell them about us" I say and Charlie starts to protest. I cut him off. "Trust me Charlie, it's for the best. And I'm sure Bella doesn't want to hurt you or get you killed" I explain. Why telling Renee and Phil wouldn't about their daughter be so endangering to us? Charlie thinks. "If the volturi knew about that you three knew Charlie, it would be catastrophic. You see you aren't supposed to know about us." I say and Charlie frowns with a nod. I understand, for Bella. He says and I nod.
"But she barely knows you" Renee says and I saw her eyes go to me and Charlie. She can't marry him. I don't care, I'll threaten her or anything. Renee thinks then I hear Alice thoughts. Edward, be careful, the futures going slightly off track…of course Bella's eyes are still red. Alice thoughts go towards me.
"She knows me more than my family does. She's made me who I am and I truly love her. And I understand your views of marriage at a young age Renee but Bella and I aren't like you and Charlie. I can assure you." I say and it seems to calm them down. "Renee, Phil, I ask you to leave with Alice for a minute, I'm sure Alice has numerous wedding plans to devour you in" I say and Alice bounces up, an Alice smile you couldn't refuse on her face. Renee and Phil followed her out.
"What more is there? You're asking for your blessing? A bit too late for that" Charlie says and I grin.
"True…as you know… I can read thoughts…Alice can see the future…she has seen Bella with red eyes. Charlie? Do you know what that means?" I ask him and he shakes his head. No I don't… he thinks and I sigh. "It means she's killed a human. We're eliminating all possibilities that it could happen, so Bella…she can't stay, not until after the wedding. Which by then we'd probably be moving. You can visit is you want, just make sure you call and them Bella can hunt. Don't come if any exposed blood is around you. It would be bad." I say and he sighs with a nod.
"I understand. For my safety?" he asks and I nod. I wonder if this is what it feels like for Bella's thoughts to be read a lot, irritating. Charlie's thoughts pop into my head, I laugh.
"I can't hear her thoughts, it's great to herm but sometimes it drives me insane" I say and Charlie raises his eyebrows. Really? He asks me and I nod. "Yeah, yours are a little harder to read than normal, I guess she inherited it" I say and he looks down at his hands. "and back to the topic at hand, yes for your safety. I don't think Bella could ever forgive herself if it was you or anyone else she knew or loved" I murmur and he nods.
"Sounds like Bella, she's ok with this?" he asks me and I nod. "She's not going to be staying in your room is she?" he asks and I laugh.
"Actually no, Alice or Rosalie would be happy to take her in. she'll probably not have the need to pack any clothes, Alice has that covered. She actually spend more time in my room than the others or the music room. Bella is very stubborn about clothing" I say and he grins.
"You know Edward, I'm kinda liking you more than before and I can see that you're the one she wants, and you'll make her happy. I give you my blessing or whatever you call it now days" he says with a laugh and I grin.
"Thank you Charlie, I guess I should say thank you for bringing her to Forks too, otherwise we wouldn't have met" I say and he smiles.
