(A.N. I Hope you all like it and Please R&R. Bella is being temperamental because Edward broke her heart twice and now he wants her back. The fight was really OOC but in the story how would we know how Bella would act if she was a vampire. )

Chapter 10
"Leave Me Alone"
Bella POV
After my outburst I snuck out my window and went for a walk. I walked down the same path Lucas and I called 'our path' because it looked like that one back in Washington where I had my first hunt.
I sat on the base of a large oak tree and closed my eyes.
I heard rustling in the bushes then quickly opened my eyes and jumped up to my feet. Then guess who emerged from the bushes! Edward Cullen.
"Leave me alone," I said.
"Not until you admit we belong together," He pressured.
"Then I guess you're not going to leave me alone," I chuckled.
"Never," He exclaimed.
"You already did, twice," I reminded him.
"What is your problem Edward??! You want me, you don't, you want me, you don't ... What is this to you - a game?? I'm not that indecisive. I don't want you. I'm supposed to sit around and wait for you to want me? That is not how it works Edward Cullen. I will always care about you, but I don't love you. I'm sorry!" I screamed at him.
He leaned down and pulled me into a kiss. He then pulled away.
"Tell me that didn't mean anything and I'll leave you alone," He yelled.
"It. . . . . Meant . . . . Nothing," I screamed the anger building in my throat. With that he disappeared.
I collapsed on the ground. I replayed memories through my head of me and Edward then memories of me and Lucas. With Edward because I was human I always felt inferior to him. With Lucas I never felt that feeling I was always his equal. But the playing field was never the same because Lucas didn't really know me when I was human. I am not considering leaving Lucas because I love him, I need him. I needed Edward once to, but then he left for my own good, and then pushed me away for my own good. I wonder was it ever for my own good.
I walked back to the house slowly, quietly, replaying every though and every word I ever shared with Lucas. I really did love him. I opened the door to the house and everything was quiet. Little by little Itrudged up the steps. I walked down the hall to my room passing Brigitte and Luigi bickering over vacation destinations, Cheyenne and Ethan cuddling, Connor and Colin wrestling, Sophia dyeing her streaks pink, Dmitri watching Sophia dye her hair pink, Lexie playing with her dolls, and Nicholas and Abigail sharing a warm embrace.
This was my family. This was my life. In a way I thanked Edward for leaving me all those years ago, because if he didn't I would never have found these amazing people that I love. These amazingly crazy people that I am proud to call my family. I would go through the process of changing again 10 times before I would leave them.
I reached the last room, mine. I walked in to find the man I want to spend eternity and a day with, Lucas. I sat down on the bed beside him.
"Lucas, I am ready to shout it from the rooftops. I am yours and you are mine and no one can ever change that," I whispered into his ear.
"Bella, I love you," He whispered in mine.
"I love you too, Lucas. Will you marry me, again?" I asked hopefully. He was speechless. I took that moment to stare at his gorgeous face and beautiful hair.
"Of course, it would be my pleasure Bella Swan Mitchell," He said then took my face in his hands. He looked at me for a second then kissed me. We stayed there in each other's arms kissing till the sun came up.
Today was a Saturday so we decided to go tell everyone the news. Everyone was excited and couldn't wait for the wedding.
"Have you chosen a date?" asked Abigail.
I looked at Lucas, "How about next Saturday, the sooner the better," I asked shyly.
"That sounds great," He said with a smile on his face.
"Everything should be the same as the last wedding. Since Abigail was my matron of honor last time I would like someone else, no offense Abigail," I said.
"That's fine, dear," She said quietly.
Brigitte, Cheyenne, and I went into the unused dining room and started talking. We wanted this to be a small wedding done quickly. Lexie would be the flower girl, Conner and Colin would share the title of ring bearer, Sophia would be my junior bridesmaid, Dmitri the junior groomsmen, Ethan would be the best man because Luigi was the best man in the last wedding. Luigi would still be the groomsmen. I decided I want Cheyenne and Brigitte to be my bridesmaids and I had someone else in mind for my maid of honor. Nicholas would perform the ceremony.
We decided we would have the wedding in 'our path' under the trees. We would set up benches on the sides for any guests we might have. I decided that I wanted to invite the Cullens.
Brigitte and Cheyenne insisted on leaving right now to go look for dresses. Most people would think I was rushing into this wedding but I knew in my heart it was right. I had a stop to make before we went to the mall.
We pulled up to the large mansion and I hopped out of the car. I walked up to the mansion and knocked on the door. Less than a second later the person on the other side of the door opened the door.
