Mysterious person: I'm reality!

Me: crap...

Reality: and you STILL don't own Twilight! Muhaha! –leaves the room­--

My boyfriend: what the heck...?

Chapter 15

"Bella..." I heard Edward whisper. I saw feet as he walked up next to me. I stood up quickly and ran up to my room. I slammed the door and leaned up against it, and slowly sank down so I was sitting on the floor. Then I began to cry even harder.

I heard Alice and Edward talking quickly to each other downstairs. I couldn't make any of it out, except for Alice saying one thing.

"Nice going, Edward."

I don't know how long I was in my room before Alice came in. When she did, she cautiously opened the door and then gracefully sat down next to me.

"Bella...are you ok?" she asked gently. I looked up at her.

"I know I shouldn't be this upset over it. He didn't come close to actually touching me or hurting me. But it still reminds me of my birthday...when Jasper attacked me. I just didn't think I would ever see my boyfriend like that."

Alice looked at me with sad eyes.

"But then I think...if you hadn't come..." I trailed off, unable to finish.

"...then you would be dead right now," she finished quietly. I looked away.

"No..." I whispered. "Then I would be becoming one of you right now..." I looked back at Alice. I was unable to read her expression.

"Oh...Bella..." she said. Then she pulled me into a much needed hug.

"Bella," she said, "don't worry about not being one of us. The reason I came over here was actually to tell you something about that."

"What is it?" I asked eagerly.

"I think we should be with Edward when I tell you. He is still in your living room, he feels extremely bad about the whole thing."

"Well, let's go. I have to make sure he knows that I forgive him." We walked downstairs, and when I reached the bottom I looked over and saw Edward. He looked up at me and our eyes met.

"Bella...I'm so sorry..." he said.

"It's ok, Edward. Really, I forgive you."

"But, Bella. That is the second time I almost killed you in the last week! If I hadn't promised that I would stay with you, then..." he trailed off.

"Then...what? Wait, were you going to say 'then I would leave'? Were you?!" I asked. He looked away from me, and I saw his expression turn into a frown.

"I would never do that, Bella. I was just...talking." He looked back at me and then walked over so he was standing right in front of me. "I swear to you, on my non-beating heart and non-existent soul, that I will never leave you. Ever. Even if I think it would be for the best. I know how much damage that did before, and I promise that it will never happen again." Then he leaned down and kissed me.

And he knew he was forgiven, because I kissed him back.

"Ahem," said Alice. "If you two love muffins could listen to me for a moment, I have some great news." Love muffins?! I let out a giggle, but neither of them seemed to notice.

Edward walked so he was standing next to me and wrapped his arm around my waist. "Go ahead, Alice," he said.

"I had a vision," she said. She looked like she was going to explode from excitement. "And in it, I saw something FABULOUS!"

"Just tell us already!" I insisted.

She let out a squeal of glee and then said "I saw us going on a ROAD TRIP!!!"

Edward looked at her with a stunned/confused/frightened look on his face. "R-r-road tr-trip?" he asked. I could barely hear him.

"Whats so bad about a road trip?" I asked him.

"You've never been on a road trip with Alice..." he whispered to me.

"I heard that!" she yelled. "But that's not even the best part of the vision!" she said with joy.

"I would hope not..." Edward muttered. Alice ignored him.

"The best part is that I saw you two love birds holding hands, and, Bella, your eyes were TOPAZ!!"

I gasped and ran over to Alice. We both grabbed each others hands and jumped up and down, while squealing with delight.

"Oh my gosh! Alice, are you sure?!" I asked, still in disbelief. She nodded.

"Not only were your eyes topaz, but your skin what a lot lighter, and you looked so different!"

"Like, different how?" I asked with excitement.

"Well, your hair was longer, and you had some beautiful natural highlights. And your eyes, of course, and your lips were also fuller. And," she leaned in to whisper to me, "the part that Edward will like best, your boobs were bigger." We both giggled. I felt like a immature four year old, but, hey, whatever.

"What?" Edward asked.

"Oh...nothing," I said with a mischievous grin. I saw him get a serious look on his face, and then he broke into his crooked grin. I looked at him with a questioning look.

"Sorry, Bella. I couldn't conceal my thoughts..." Alice said apologetically.

"It's fine, Alice." I turned to Edward. "So...are you going to like the new me?" I asked him in an alluring voice.

"Oh, most definitely," he growled in the sexiest voice I'd ever heard. Alice cleared her throat.

"Um...hello...I'm still here..." she said. We both glanced at her, us with apologetic looks this time.

"Sorry..." we both muttered. I looked over at Edward, but his expression had changed. Now he looked...sad.

"What is it?" I asked. Then it hit me. Edward would, of course, be sad that I was for sure going to become a vampire. That I was going to be "damned to a life of darkness". He looked up at me from where he had been looking at the floor. His eyes were full of sadness, anger, and another look that I couldn't quite place.

Alice looked at him, understanding too. She walked over to comfort him. She put her hand on his shoulder and then whispered something too fast and quiet for me to hear. Edward nodded to whatever she said, and then whispered something back just as fast and quiet.

"Whats going on...?" I asked suspiciously. I had the feeling that their conversation had moved on from him being upset.

"Nothing," they said together. They answered too quickly...it made me even more suspicious than before.

"Bella," Edward said. He didn't sound as nervous that I would figure out his plan, but he seemed to have a certain excited edge in his voice, "what time do you think Charlie is going to be home? I have to talk to him about your mother's visit."

"Um...he gets off work at 6 tonight. Why, what do you have to talk to him about?" I asked.

He walked over to me again and put his face very close to mine. "That is for me to know," he breathed, "and for you to find out," I could smell his breath, and inhaling so much of his wonderful scent made me dizzy.

"Um...right...ok..." I said, still disoriented. He grinned.

"Bella, I'm so very sorry, but I need to go. I drank from a squirrel after you went up to your room just to be on the safe side, but I still haven't gone on a big hunting trip in a while. I need to go."

"It's fine, Edward. Please, please, please go hunt. I know you really need it," I said as I smiled at him. He still hadn't moved his face away from mine, so it was very hard to get that entire sentence out without fainting.

"Alice?" he said, still without moving his face away from mine. I thought I saw Alice glide over to us, but I couldn't be sure. I was a bit preoccupied with Edward's gorgeous face. "Alice, will you please stay here with Bella? I don't want her to be alone..." he trailed off.

"Sure. Oh my gosh, Bella, we can go SHOPPING!" she squealed.

"No!!!!!!!" Edward and I shouted at the exact same time. Alice pouted, but then nodded.

"Fine. But I AM going to give you a makeover, whether you or your boyfriend likes it or not," she said, a bit angry that she couldn't take me shopping.

"Fine, fine, fine. You can give me a small, minor makeover. But not a huge over the top one! I still want to look normal when your done with me!" I said. Alice giggled.

"Alright with me, I just like putting any amount of makeup on you!"

Edward then leaned down to whisper in my ear. "I'll be back later, my love. Probably at around 6:15 or so." I looked over at the clock, and it said 3:03. Three hours, not too unbearable.

"I'll wait for you," I whispered back. Then he moved his face so he could kiss my lips. But before he could, Alice grabbed my arm and dragged me towards the stairs.

"Chop chop! We don't have all day, Bella!" Alice said. Edward raced over to me and grabbed my other arm. Then they began to play a game of tug of war with me.

It hurt.

"Guys! Stop! Ow!" I yelled. Finally Alice let go. Edward and I, not expecting her to let go, flew across the kitchen and landed on the ground, with him lying on his back and me on top of him.

"Well, this is nice," Edward commented. I blushed, and he chuckled. Then he reached up and kissed me gently. We seemed to forget that anyone else was in the room, and we began to deepen the kiss. Then I heard Alice "ahem" again, and we quickly broke apart.

"Sorry," we both said, breathing heavily. She laughed, and then grabbed my arm and dragged my towards the stairs again.

"I'll be back before you know it," Edward said to me before he was out of my sight.

"Bye, I love you, have fun!" I yelled, and heard him laugh. I heard my front door open, and then close again.

Yay!

Don't ask why I write "yay" at the end of every chapter. I just sorta think "yay...the chapter is done!" or "yay...this chapter owns!" whenever I finish. So then I write yay.

I'm random. It's pretty awesome.

Next chapter out 1-4 days I hope!

Luv yall...till then —
