A/N: Omg thank you for all the reviews!! i loved them! ok so here is the next chapter, everyone was getting mad at me for my cliff hanger so i had to hurry and write this :D it is happy just to let you know! :D Enjoy!
A part of me inside wanted to scream out "YES!'' But that part of me wouldn't come out.
"'Jasper, don't you think if he wanted to talk to me, he would?'' My tone sounded more icy than I wanted it to.
"Listen Bells, you don't know everything just give him a break.'' He walked away, but he sounded more concern instead of mad.
Tyler didn't come back for awhile so I sat and watched my sisters dance, and I couldn't help but stare at Edward. He was so dreamy. I tried studying Edwards expression to see what he was thinking, but I couldn't quite tell. To me he seemed confused, angry, worried... well pretty much everything except happy. Tanya on the other hand looked like she'd died and gone to heaven.. I hate her and I'm sure if she were dead she wouldn't be in heaven…
Tyler finally came back, with no drinks like he said he was getting.
"Hey Bella,'' he tried bending down to kiss me but I pushed him away.
I glanced over at Edward for a split second and his whole body expression stiffened.
"Oh Bella, come on what's your problem? ''He said with a 'what did I do, I'm too cute to do anything ' look.
I thought about that for a second and decided not to answer. "You want to dance Tyler?"
He picked me up from my chair and lead me to the dance floor.
He brought us close to Mike, who was with Lauren, and some other of his friends. Not the best place on the dance floor, but at least we weren't near Edward.
Dancing with Tyler wasn't bad, he was actually being truly sweet and fun. I soon found myself laughing but then I finally pulled myself from the dance floor and went to my sisters.
"Oh you look happy Bella, I'm really glad.'' Rosalie said smiling.
"Ya, and I'm having fun.''
"Good!'' Alice Chimed
The night went by quickly and nothing about it was dull. It was slowly coming to an end and the last slow song was about to play.
Tyler came up and grabbed me by my waist and pulled me to the center of the dance floor. The song slowly started, it was 'The Way You Look Tonight' by Michael Buble. I had my eyes closed leaning against Tyler' s head when I heard in a deep, velvety smooth British accent ''May I cut in?''
I was completely stunned. Tyler looked irritated but I slowly nodded my head yes and Tyler stomped away like a jerk. Edward smiled his crooked smile shyly. When he placed his hand on my waist and his other hand in mine, an electric shock shot through me. I loved the way it made me feel when he touched me, but I knew it would hurt more when he left.
I followed his lead as he twirled me around the dance floor. The magic of the moment was so exhilarating and romantic. It was one of those moments where your prince charming was holding on to you as the music played in the background and no one was in the room but you and the man of your dreams. Well I guess I really had a' prince' charming holding onto me. I didn't want this moment ever to end. Where's Tanya though?
Edward looked in my eyes with his dazzling stare and then he started whispering the words of the song in my ear as we swayed to it.
A/N: Listen to it while reading this part :D
Some day, when I'm awfully low,
When the world is cold,
I will feel a glow just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight.
You're lovely, with your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft,
There is nothing for me but to love you,
And the way you look tonight.
With each word your tenderness grows,
Tearing my fears apart
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,
Touches my foolish heart.
Yes you're lovely, never, ever change
Keep that breathless charm.
Won't you please arrange it?
'Cause I love you
Just the way you look tonight.
With each word your tenderness grows,
Tearing my fears apart
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,
Touches my foolish heart.
Yes you're lovely, never, ever change
Keep that breathless charm.
Won't you please arrange it?
'Cause I love you
Just the way you look tonight.
Just the way you look tonight.
Darling
Just the way you look tonight.
His mouth being so close to me made me tingle all over but I soon felt the tears start filling my eyes, but I didn't want them to come out.
Edward noticed the sudden emotion that had overcome me and became upset.
The song finally came to an end.
"Bella--" He choked on his words trying to talk. He sounded…nervous.
"Prince Edward your father is waiting." Mr. Pierce of course just had to ruin the moment! Dang him!
"Take this Bella, it's yours." He handed me the heart diamond necklace which he had given me earlier and slightly kissed me on the cheek. As I watched Edward walk away he turned back once more and said, "Please read the back of the necklace when I'm gone." and he left. If this wasn't such a dramatic moment I would so be drooling at how could he looked from behind…he was good looking in every direction. And then I became sad and broken hearted, he didn't even say goodbye. The love of my life was gone. Forever. I sat down on the ground and wept.
Edward's POV:
I don't know how I was able to walk away from Bella. Being so close to her just then made me know how I really felt. She was the love of my life and I would be back and beg her to take me back again. As I was following Niles and Pierce out to the limo where my dad was waiting for me I saw Bella's boyfriend Tyler with his buddies.
"Hey your royal highness." Tyler said as he bowed down to me in a mocking tone. He had definitely had more than a couple of beers.
I just kept walking until he opened his big mouth again. "Thanks for leaving her so broken hearted dude! Now I'll really have fun with her tonight if you know what I mean…"
"Ya, maybe all of us can get something out of her Prince Edward." The vile Mike Newton added.
When I heard them say that I stopped dead in my tracks. A burst of rage shot right through me as I slowly walked up to Tyler who had his back towards me talking to Mike.
"Dude, I get Bella first. She is my girlfriend." His words were slurring together from the alcohol.
Mike pointed to me and Tyler turned around. I looked him straight in the face and then my arm swung from behind me and I pounded Tyler in the face. I heard his jaw crack from the blow of my fist. He flew onto the ground and yelled holding his jaw.
I stood over him. "Try and kiss her now." and I turned around and walked off.
As I leaned down to get into the car I turned to Pierce and Niles. "You better watch Bella 24/7. Keep a close eye on her, especially tonight."
"Yes, Prince." They answered.
I shut the limo door and Tanya snuggled up close to me as we left. "Please stop Tanya."
Bella's POV:
Emmett and Jasper came to my side first. They helped me up off the ground and then Emmett wrapped me up in huge bear hug. Then Alice and Rosalie ran up to me too. I felt like this moment of me crying and having to have people pick me up happened a lot lately. I don't think I was quite coherent because I kept saying "He left. He's gone." I finally got a hold of myself when Tyler came stumbling into the room with Mike.
He's drunk! Jerk!
"Bella, that Cullen kid just broke Tyler's jaw." Mike complained sounding like a little kid, he was drunk too.
Were they talking about Edward? I looked at Tyler's jaw, and sure enough it looked pretty broken to me. Haha. I just had to laugh.
"Tyler. It's over with us." I said sternly and walked off. Tyler had changed over the past couple weeks, and now realizing that he drinks I didn't want to put up with it. Who needs guys, like I said before…they all suck.
Laying in bed that night I realized I had never looked at the necklace like Edward asked me to. I didn't know if I should, or even if I should keep it for that matter. But it kept bugging me as I laid there so I decided to take a look. I walked to the bathroom and shut the door so I could turn the light on without disturbing my sisters. It took a second for my eyes to adjust but when they did I held up the necklace in the light. Inscribed with tiny cursive letters on the back read: Bella, I give you my heart forever. Love, Edward.
It was at that very moment that I knew Edward Cullen would come back.

A month had gone by and I slowly was losing hope of ever seeing Edward again. Maybe he did love me but her was still going to marry Tanya. I don't know if I have mentioned yet or not that I hate her, well I do.
Then, just a couple weeks after Edward had left we had heard the terrible life changing news. Jasper and Emmett had to leave back to England, not being able to take Alice and Rosalie with them. They didn't know if they would come back either.
My sisters died that day, and have never been the same since.
Strangely enough Mr. Pierce was still head master of Cushing, along with Mr. Niles as his assistant. I hardly spoke to them, just when absolutely necessary. They never did punish Lauren, but probably because MTV showed the whole concert scene on air for weeks after, which was definitely torture enough.
When I got to Geography class our teacher said a guest speaker would be arriving soon. Hm, I wonder who. My thoughts were answered though when Mr. Pierce walked in.
"Good afternoon class."
"Good afternoon Mr. Pierce." the class said back in unison.
"Now I know this is a geography class but my lecture today is about countries' laws."
Everyone let out a loud groan.
"Now now class, this is actually very interesting." My teacher said to us. "Please continue Mr. Pierce."
This was something I wasn't in the mood in to I completely tuned him out. Looking at him also reminded me of Edward, which hurt like crazy.
I finally tuned Mr. Pierce back when he started talking about English laws. The way he began to talk about it got my attention.
"And in my country we have some very unique old government laws."
Maybe I'll just listen to this…
Mr. Pierce looked straight at me the whole time he spoke about this certain English law. "You see, when a prince is crowned to become king he must marry a royal princess from another family in order to take the thrown. But, in fact there is a loop hole. If the prince catches the princess cheating on him he is allowed to marry anyone he chooses and still become king." When he finished he winked at me and then moved his gaze to the rest of the class.
Is this a sign? Nah, it couldn't be…could it? Was he trying to tell me something about Edward? It is a really weird way to find out.
Then he continued on about more world laws that I didn't listen to.
I couldn't concentrate for the rest of the day, my mind was on what Mr. Pierce had talked about. It was bugging me so much I decided to go confront him on it.
I walked down the hallway until I reached Mr. Pierce's office. The memory of Edward Cullen James Bond flooded my head. I could still hear Edward's voice speaking with such couth.
"Miss Swan?" My day dreaming was interrupted my Mr. Pierce.
"Uh, can I talk to you?" I asked him.
"Sure."
I sat down in the leather chair in front of his desk. I felt kind of strange and embarrassed being here.
"Umm…well, today in class…when you were talking about those laws, you were starring right at me when you said the one about the king marrying."
He smiled slyly. "Yes I was. And I'll tell you why. I guess that was kind of secret code from Edward to you. He wants you to know the truth…but, a non-Brit cannot hear of loop holes unless learned through a class. If I were to personally tell you the loop hole of the law, there would be serious consequences."
My mind became overwhelmed.
"The truth…?" I asked quietly.
"Well…I'm afraid that is as much as I can tell you. I suppose you will know more, later that is."
"Oh, okay." Was all I could get to come out. I stood up and thanked Mr. Pierce and left his office to go think. What if?…no I couldn't be…

A few more weeks had passed by and I made up in my mind that Edward did not love me, I did not love him and I was going to move on.
Ever since the night of the dance Tyler has been bugging me, and kind of stalking me to get back together with him, and every time I would refuse.
I was another unusually sunny day when I was sitting by the window in US Lit. It was about halfway open so we could listen to the noises outside from the birds and animals while working.
I heard a purr, or more of a whine kind of roaring sound from car engines, and they sounded like expensive car engines. All the boys' ears in my class perked up as they heard the noise of the cars. I looked out the window and saw a shiny red Ferrari and a shiny yellow Lamborghini. Then a black Aston Martin V12 Vanquish pulled up beside them. My mouth dropped to the desk as I starred at the cars.
I watched the doors slowly open up at the same time and then I saw Jasper get out of the yellow Lamborghini, and then Emmett step out of the red Ferrari and then…Edward Cullen, no wait make that Prince Edward Cullen, the sexy British James Bond man, yes a very manly man…a very drop dead gorgeous manly man stepped out of the Aston Martin. A light gust of wind lightly tousled his bronze hair. I swear I heard 'The Boys Are Back In Town' by Thin Lizzy start playing. (listen :D)
My heart collapsed in my chest. I saw Emmett and Jasper leave their cars, most likely heading towards Alice and Rosalie…boy will they be surprised! Edward didn't move though. He looked scared almost.
Something combusted inside me and I flew from my seat as fast as I could and darted out the door. I ran all the way until I reached the parking lot. I saw Edward looking down at the ground leaning against his Vanquish and I yelled out his name, almost out of breath.
"Edward!"
He shot his head up in my direction and I took off after him. I ran all the way until I reached him and before I knew what I was doing I leaped into his arms. I threw my arms around his neck and started kissing him. WHAT AM I DOING?! WHAT IF HE'S NOT HERE TO SEE ME?! WHAT IF HE CAME FOR MR. PIERCE?!
Instead of pulling away like I thought he would he pushed me closer to him, and kissed me even more. When we were both out of breath he took my face in his hands.
"Bella! I'm so sorry for everything! Please forgive me! Please! I'll do anything! I just want you to know that I love you more than anything, and I am a complete jerk!"
I let out a slight laugh, and he looked a little hurt.
"Edward Cullen! I'm pretty much making out with you in the middle of the parking lot…and I think that means I forgive you!"
He smiled his crooked smile and wrapped me up in his strong embrace and kissed me.
"I'm sorry, I'll never hurt you again…I just had to get rid of Tanya." and he chuckled.
"And how did that work out?" I asked him.
"I got her to cheat on me, and then I told my dad that I loved you more than life itself and left to come back after you." He was absolutely glowing with happiness.
"After I read my necklace after prom, I thought you would come…but I eventually gave up hope, even when Mr. Pierce came to talk to the 'class' about 'laws'.
"How could you ever think I wouldn't come after you?"
"Hm, maybe it was when you told me you didn't love me and you were marring Tanya."
His face looked like someone had just stabbed a knife through his heart. "Oh."
I immediately felt guilty for saying that. "No Edward, I'm the one who just assumed stuff."
"No. I didn't tell you the truth and I hurt you."
I looked up and smiled at him. "Are we going to sit here and argue or make up for lost times?"
He grabbed my hand and pulled me around to the passenger side of the car and helped me in. He got into the drivers seat turned on the car and sped out of the parking lot.
"Where are we going Edward?"
"Anywhere Bella, from now on…the world is yours."
A/N: I hoped you liked it and it didn't go to fast! It's not the end though!! Nope, I still got more to the story!! :D Please review!! Thanks!!
