Edward led me to the others. I opened my mouth to speak but I couldn't get the words to come out through my tears.
"We didn't want you to miss out on prom," whispered Emmett through his tears.
"We know how much you love shit like this," cried Rose. She wiped the tears off her face. I chuckled softly as I just let my tears fall.
"Yeah, cause I'm all for the prom," I cried. "Thank you. You have no idea….. This means so much to me."
"We know it does," said Jasper as he wiped away his own tear. "You clean up pretty good too."
"Gee, thanks, Jas," I whispered.
"You look beautiful, Bella," whispered Jasper.
"Thank you," I whispered.
"Well, enough of this," chuckled Alice. "Let's dance."
"Ok," I chuckled.
We all just chuckled as we made our way out to the dance floor. Edward wrapped his arms around me and we started dancing next to our family. He leaned down and kissed me softly. I laid my head on his chest as we danced for the next few hours together. He whispered in my ear that he loved me and I would whisper my love back for him.
After a while, Emmett cut in. Edward just smiled and went to dance with Rose. I wrapped my arms around my brother's neck.
"So I hear you are healthy enough to give me some marrow," I said.
"Yeah," said Emmett. "Who knew?"
"Are you sure you want to do it?" I asked. Emmett rolled his eyes. "I was just asking."
"Bella, when are you going to realize that there is nothing, and I do mean nothing, that I wouldn't do for you?" asked Emmett.
"I know, Em," I whispered. "I just worry about you."
"Well, don't," he said. "You are just to focus on getting better. We will take care of each other."
"Promise?" I asked. "Because if Rose tells me that you burn yourself while cooking dinner or that you ruin the laundry, I'm going to be pissed."
"One time," he muttered.
"I want you to promise me something," I whispered.
"What?" he asked warily.
"I want you to promise me that no matter how scared you get, that you will go college in the fall," I said. Emmett grimaced.
"I'm not smart enough for college," he mumbled.
"Yes, you are, Emmett," I said. "You are one of the smartest people I know. You can do it. If not for yourself then do it for me."
"Bella," he whispered.
"Please, Emmy," I whispered.
"Fine," he whispered. "But if I flunk out, it will be your fault."
"When you succeed, I will take credit," I smirked. He rolled his eyes. "Your eyes are going to get stuck like that."
"Yours haven't," he pointed out.
"Not yet," I chuckled as the song ended. "Thank you, Emmett, for the marrow."
"Anything, anytime," he said.
"I love you, Emmett," I whispered. "I don't tell you enough but I do love you, big brother."
"I love you, too, little sister," he whispered. He kissed my forehead. "I think Jas wanting to dance with you next."
"Ok," I whispered.
I watched as Emmett went over and wrapped his arm around Rose and kissed her check. Jasper came over and held out his hand to me.
"May I dance with my best friend?" he asked.
"I guess I could dance with you," I chuckled. "Just don't step on my feet."
"I step on your feet one time," scoffed Jasper as he wrapped his arms around my waist. I moved my arms to around his neck. "Remember when we were ten and you and Emmett somehow convinced me and Rose to runaway with you?"
"You mean how you and Emmett convinced me and Rose to runaway with you," I said. "All I remember was us getting about two blocks from the house when Emmett started whining about being hungry and Rose bitching about being bored."
"Sounds about right," chuckled Jasper. "Things were easier then."
"Yeah, it was," I said softly. "No worries."
"Nope," he said. "Just having fun."
"I don't think I know what fun is anymore," I said. "It's been so long since I felt free to just have fun."
"You will again," said Jasper. I rolled my eyes. "You will. I have enough faith for the both of us."
"I hope you're right, Jas. I really do," I said softly.
"You know you are a stubborn pain in the ass," he muttered.
"Yes, but I'm your stubborn pain in the ass," I whispered.
"You really are," he chuckled as the song ended. "I love you, Bella. You will always be my best friend."
"You bet your ass I will," I chuckled. "Promise to let Alice take care of you, Jas. She needs to do that for you, ok?"
"I promise," he whispered. "I wish I could go through this for you."
"I don't," I whispered. "At least I will go into the hospital knowing that my family is ok and that's enough to push me forward for awhile, I think."
"Suppose that's something," said Jasper. He leaned down and kissed my forehead. "I just…"
"I know, Jas," I whispered. "Me too. I love you, too. Now go dance with your wife."
"Yes, ma'am," he chuckled.
I watched as he went over to Alice and wrapped his arms around her and kissed her. They would be ok. No matter what, they would be ok as long as they had each other. I felt Edward wrap his arms around me. I laid my head back on his shoulder.
"Are you having fun?" he whispered in my ear.
"Yes," I said. "I can't believe they would do this for me, for us."
"They love you almost as much as I do," he chuckled. "Almost."
"I love you, too, Edward," I said as I turned into his arms. I laid my head on his chest. "I'm sorry I've been a crazy bitch lately. I know I haven't made this easy for you."
"It's ok," said Edward. "I know this is a hard step for you to take but I think it's worth it."
"I do too," I whispered. "I just don't like not being with you."
"I will be there all the time, Bella," said Edward. "I am not leaving you."
"Do you promise?" I whispered through my tears. "I can't lose you too."
"I promise," he whispered. "You and I are a package deal, love. Where you go, I will follow."
"Where you go, I will follow," I whispered.
I leaned up and pressed my lips to Edward's. He tightened his arms around me as he deepened the kiss. I wove my fingers in his hair and pulled my body closer to him. We heard someone clear their throat behind us and we broke our lips apart and I turned to see Mr. Stevens smirking at us. I felt my entire face turn bright red.
"Well, this is awkward," he chuckled. I rolled my eyes. "I, um, just got from Olympia, Edward."
"You did?" he asked. I looked up at Mr. Stevens. He handed Edward an envelope. I looked back at Edward as he slowly opened it with shaking hands. He pulled out the paper and read it. He smiled as he looked down at me. "I did it. I passed with 93%."
"You did it?" I asked with a big smile. Edward's smile grew as he nodded his head. I jumped into his arms and he swung me around. "OH MY GOD, YOU DID IT. I'M SO PROUD OF YOU, BABY."
"Thank you, Baby," chuckled Edward before he kissed me.
"Congratulations, Edward," said Mr. Stevens. "If it's ok with you, I would like announce it everyone."
"That's fine," said Edward.
Edward tightened his arms around me as we watched Mr. Stevens' make his way over to the stage. He whispered something to Peter before he grabbed the mic and stepped up onto the stage. Peter cut off the music and everyone turned their attention to Mr. Stevens.
"I'm sorry to interrupt the party," he chuckled. Everyone chuckled with him. "As you all know, Bella Cullen will be started the conditioning phase for a bone marrow transplant soon Because of this she has opted to graduate early. Edward took the Washington State High School Exiting Exam today in hopes that he too could graduate early and be able to be there for Bella. I personally took his test to the state office in Olympia as soon as Edward finished. It's my honor and privilege to announce that Edward passed his test with an average of 93%. Hopefully, Edward and Bella will be able to join their graduating class in June when you all walk across that stage."
He stepped off the stage as everyone started cheering for Edward. Carlisle, Esme, Emmett, Rose, Jasper, and Alice all came over and congratulated him for doing so good on the test. In this moment I knew it was the right choice for him to make. I would need him and he was proving that he would do anything to be with me every step of the way. The way we were meant to be.
I excused myself and made my way over to the bathroom. Rose and Alice came with me.
"Are you enjoying the prom?" teased Rose.
"I am," I chuckled. "Thanks for doing this for us. I never thought I would want to go to the prom so badly."
"I couldn't risk getting stuck here by myself," chuckled Rose.
"Yeah, I would have had to listen to her bitch and moan the whole time," chuckled Alice.
"Well, we can't have that," I teased as I looped my arms in with theirs. "I want to dance with my sisters."
"Ok," they chuckled.
The three of us made our way out to the dance floor and started dancing together. It was nice to just be able to laugh again. To feel like laughing one more time. I grabbed one of Rose's hands and one of Alice's hands as we danced. Angela and Kate came over and joined us.
"We want in too," chuckled Kate.
"We always have room for our sisters," I chuckled as a tear slipped down my face.
"Hey, no tears allowed at the prom," said Angela, wiping it away for me.
"They're happy tears," I cried. I took a deep breath. "I'm sorry. I just feel really happy right now."
"Good," said Alice.
"We want you to be happy, Bella," chuckled Kate.
"Then promise me that you will take care of each other," I said through my tears. "Make sure those boys don't do anything stupid but when they do, don't be too hard on them, ok?"
"Ok," said Kate.
"I think we can do that," said Angela.
"Yeah," said Alice.
"Well, I make no promises because we all know how Emmett is," chuckled Rose. We all chuckled with her. "But I love him enough to handle it."
"I guess that's as much as I can ask for," I chuckled.
"Hey, is this a girls only dance?" asked Garrett as he came up and wrapped his arms around Kate.
"Or can we join in?" asked Ben as he came up behind Angela and kissed her neck. Emmett wrapped his arms around Rose while Jasper pulled Alice into his arms.
"You can defiantly join us," I said.
Edward wrapped his arms around me. I wrapped my arms around his neck and laid my head on his chest as we danced for the next few hours. I could barely hear those around us as we danced. I just listened to Edward's heart beating as we slowly moved our feet together slowly. After a few hours, I leaned up and pressed my lips to his.
"I'm ready to go home," I whispered. He smiled softly.
"Ok," he whispered. "Let's go."
We told everyone goodnight and made our way out to the car. Edward helped me in and ran around to the drivers side. He climbed in and we headed back home. He parked in the garage and came around and opened my door. He held out his hand to me. I placed my hand in his and he helped me out. He held my hand as we made our way into the house.
We went straight to our room. Edward pulled me into his arms and kissed me softly. He shrugged off his jacket and tossed it onto the floor. I slid my hands up his chest and pulled off his tie and unbuttoned his shirt. I pushed it off his shoulders and brought my lips down onto his chest. I felt him shudder slightly as he lifted his arms to the back of my dress.
He slid the zipper down slowly and let it drop in a puddle at my feet. He smiled as he looked over my body. I reached down and pulled at his belt. I quickly undid it and his button. I unzipped his pants and let them drop to the floor along with his boxers. His erection sprang free and I wanted to taste him.
I fell to my knees and took him into my mouth before he could protest. He moaned and grabbed the back of my head as he thrust his hips into me slightly. I used my tongue on the underside of his cock. I pulled him out and sucked just on the head of his cock before I took him all the way in again. I could feel him starting to tense up as I relaxed my throat. He shuddered as he came down my throat. I swallowed every drop.
Edward pulled me to my feet and laid me on the bed. He kissed me before he moved down and slipped off my shoes, letting them drop to the floor one at a time. He pulled off my bra and tossed it over his shoulder with a chuckled. I couldn't help but chuckle with him. He lowered his lips to one of my nipples and my hands went straight to his hair.
Edward sucked on my nipples for several minutes, alternating from one to the other. He started kissing his way down my stomach until he reached the top of my lace panties. He slid them down my legs and tossed them onto the floor. He looked up at me and winked before he lowered his lips to me.
"Oh, Edward," I moaned.
"I love the way you taste, Baby," he moaned.
I just moaned as I felt him thrust his tongue in to me. I lifted my hips, desperately trying to get more of him. Edward moved his mouth to my clit and slid one of this long fingers into me. He curled his finger inside of me as he bit down softly on my clit. I pulled on his hair as my body shook with my climax.
"Fuck, Baby," I gasped. "I need you now."
Edward kissed his way up my body and kissed me hard as he slid his cock into me slowly. I moaned into his mouth and wrapped my legs around his waist, locking my ankles. Edward started thrusting faster and harder inside of me. Tonight was just about us. It was our need for each other that was feeding into our love making. Edward moved his lips from mine and down to my neck and collarbone, lightly nipping and sucking as he made love to me. I threw my head back into the pillow beneath me as I came again.
Edward rolled us so that I was straddling him. I sat up and started lifting my hips up and down. Edward met me thrust for thrust. His hands roamed from my hips to my breasts and back several times. I could feel my third orgasm starting to build deep inside my stomach as I rode Edward harder. He was bucking his hips up to meet me and I knew he was getting close. I pulled Edward up to me as I came again and plunged my tongue into his mouth. He shuddered as he moaned into my mouth and came with me.
I rolled off of him and laid down next to him as I tried to catch my breath. Edward pulled the blankets up over us and wrapped his arms around me. He leaned his lips down to my ear.
"I love you, my Bella," he whispered. "Forever."
"I love you, too," I whispered as I nestled myself into his arms. "Forever, my love, forever."
