{Okay here's another really fluffy chapter.}
Chapter 11: Reasons
We were alone for the first time in well... I couldn't really remember. We were staying in the Cullen's old house. The one in Forks, of course. I hadn't gone to see Charlie. Nor did I plan on it. If he saw a lot of me after all these years he would knw I was in trouble.
The cottage was still home. At least it felt more like home than anywhere else in the world. Edward and I were lying on the same bed that we had left. The white gauzy netting surronding us was a huge reminder of how life had been and how it would never be again. That's when I remembered the question my mind had repressed all these years.
"Why did you want to marry me before I became umm... like you?" I asked.
He said nothing for a minute. Then sighed, "First of all it was to give you more time to change your mind. Which obviously didn't work too well. Next, was the reason I told you all along. So that everyone would know that you are mine and no one else's. And lastly," He stopped.
"What? And lastly...," I insisted.
"You're certainly impatient tonight, love," He teased me, "And why do you want to know all of the sudden?"
"You promised that you would tell me why you wanted to marry me first in a century," I reminded him.
"Last time I checked there are seventy more years until a century has passed," he laughed.
I was still dead serious, "But what if we... ,I don't know, don't make it."
His smile faded, slightly, "I would never let anyone hurt you Bella."
"I know but you still haven't answered my question," I pressed.
" Fine, lastly I wanted to marry you for the same reason that you wanted me," He started, "I wanted to 'tie you to me in every human way possible' before you became a vampire."
He had remembered those exact words. Knowing they were mine and having them spit back in my face made me feel kind of weird.
Then I knew it. I saw it. The battle would be just like the last. Him and I standing hand in hand on the 'battle ground'. We would fight together and if we had to die together. We would.
{Okay so those last lines were a little dramatic. Sorry again about not answering most of the questions on your minds. Still review please and when I get a few my next chapter will hopefully be ready to release.}
