Hello everyone. So…I realize that I told you all I wouldn't be updating this week. That was a lie though. I am updating now.
The reason? Today, I have a slightly smaller homework load, so I have some time on my hands. Also, I have to take a break from school crap or I think I might go insane. Pretty sad considering it is only Tuesday, and I still have three more days of Finals Week. But yesterday was AWFUL! I had to get up way early just to finish all of the homework I had! STUPID END OF THE SEMESTER!
Sorry about that. Now on with the story!
Forswear: I do not own Twilight, New Moon, or Eclipse.
JAR:
So when it stopped again, I expected it to start back up. But it didn't. I realized that it was over. It was done. Bella relaxed even further and fell into a much-deserved sleep.
Bella's Point of View
"Is she okay?"
"I don't know. Isn't she supposed to be awake by now?"
"She had a rough change. Let her sleep."
I awoke to many voices. They seemed to be very near, but I seemed to be far away. For some reason, I couldn't open my eyes.
"Carlisle, why isn't she awake yet?" It was Edward. I wanted to tell him that I was awake, but I couldn't find my voice.
"I told you Edward. She had a very rough change. She needs to sleep," Carlisle answered.
"But she has been asleep for a whole day now. Wasn't she supposed to wake up right after her heart stopped?" Edward was panicking, and I couldn't comfort him. Why couldn't I comfort him?
"It is different for everyone. There is no reason to worry. Give her a few more hours."
"What if she doesn't wake up though?"
"Edward," Carlisle said. "Calm down. She will wake up. Just let her rest right now."
Everyone was quiet, and I thought for a moment that I was now alone. But then, Alice spoke up.
"She will wake up in exactly one minute." she paused. "And she can hear us all right now."
I felt cool hands running along my cheeks. "Bella honey. I love you."
It was Edward. I started to feel myself becoming more conscious. It was as if my soul was flying back to my body.
"Ten seconds," Alice said.
I felt my soul connect with my body, and my eyelids fluttered.
"Oh Bella," Edward said. "I was so worried."
"I told you that you had nothing to worry about," Carlisle said.
I opened my eyes all the way and looked around me. Everyone was here. Carlisle, Esme, Alice, Jasper, Emmett, Rosalie, and…Edward.
I smiled. "Hi," I whispered.
Edward smiled back. "Hi to you too." He leaned over and kissed me lightly on the lips.
"You don't have to be so careful anymore," I quietly reminded him. Everyone in the room laughed, and Edward got a mischievous look on his face. He leaned over and kissed me like I had never been kissed before. He never once parted from my lips. If I were still human, I would have passed out by now from the intensity of it.
If I were still human…I smiled against his still moving lips.
After what seemed like only a minute, Emmett let out a whistle. "Dang man! I didn't know you had it in you!"
Edward reluctantly pulled away and just smiled at Emmett. He turned back to me and gave me the most breathtaking smile I had ever seen. It filled his whole face and lit up his eyes with such light that I thought they would explode.
I stared back at him. What had I ever done to deserve someone so wonderful?
"Stop it!" Jasper suddenly screamed. I unwillingly turned my gaze to see him lying on the ground, twitching. "Stop it now! I can't take all the love!"
I turned my head in embarrassment but was surprised to find that my cheeks didn't flush.
I turned my head back and smiled apologetically at Jasper who was now standing, only his arms twitching. "I'm sorry Jasper."
He smiled. "It's fine."
"Bella?" Carlisle said. "We need to test a few things now that you are a vampire."
I smiled. Vampire. I'm a vampire!
"Okay," I said softly.
"We need to see what your range of feeling is now."
My smile faded. I had forgotten about that. Now that I thought about it, I couldn't feel anything below my neck still.
"Okay."
Edward patted my arm, and I was saddened at the fact that I still couldn't feel him.
Carlisle walked over to me and sat down on the bed. "Now, I am going to tap you lightly starting at your neck and working my way down. I need you to tell me if you feel anything."
I nodded my head and watched as he began tapping. I closed my eyes and concentrated.
Never once did I feel anything. Not once.
Carlisle sighed, and I opened my eyes. "You didn't feel any of that?" he asked.
I just stared at him, wide eyed.
"Don't worry Bella," Jasper suddenly blurted. "Remember what I told you?"
I nodded my head and put on a forced smile.
"You told her?!" Alice shouted.
"Told her what?" everyone besides Edward asked.
"Alice, I had to. She was so sad. I wanted to make her happy. Please understand Alice," Jasper begged.
A smile began to form on her lips. "Oh I forgive you." She gave him a hug and turned to me.
"Just remember that then. Everything will be fine."
"Remember what?!" Emmett shouted.
"Everyone come downstairs, and I will tell you. Bella and Edward need some time alone," Alice said, winking at me.
Everyone came up to me to give me a hug before they left. Then, it was only Edward and me.
He lay next to me, stroking my hair. "How do you feel, love?" he asked.
I turned my head and looked at him. "Fine," I said. I felt strong, but I was still sad at the fact that I couldn't move yet. I couldn't use that strength.
He frowned. "You will be able to move again Bella. Don't doubt that."
I smiled lightly. "I know." I sighed and then grinned. "Can you take me to the mirror? I want to see myself!"
Edward laughed at my excitement and hopped gracefully off the bed. He picked me up bridal style and carried me into the bathroom.
"Close your eyes," he whispered in my ear. I closed them and waited.
"Okay. You can open them now." I opened my eyes and looked straight into the mirror. I gasped.
Edward chuckled. "You like it?" he asked.
I looked myself over. "Can you stand me up?" I asked, not answering his question.
Edward smiled and stood me up, keeping a firm grip on me the whole time so I wouldn't fall over.
I looked back into the mirror and stared at myself. My hair was a richer shade of brown now. My face no longer had any sign of imperfections on it. My body was much the same, but I had more pronounced curves. Over all, it wasn't too much. Until I looked at my eyes.
Everyone had told me they would be red. I had expected them to be red. The odd thing was, they weren't. They were still brown, but they were more pronounced, more 'creamy' looking.
I looked over at Edward and noticed him looking me up and down. He looked up at me and smiled, embarrassed.
"Sorry. You are so beautiful," he said.
I smiled. "Now I am."
"You always were."
I smirked. "Sure."
"Honestly Bella. I don't understand how you ever thought you were less than beautiful."
"That is all in the past now. Let's move on."
He smiled and kissed me on the lips.
I looked back into the mirror at my eyes. "Edward, why are my eyes still brown?" I asked.
He turned my head and looked deep into them. "Hmm. I don't know, but I wouldn't complain."
I smiled. "I'm not complaining."
He stared into my eyes, and I felt myself melting. The only thing I saw was Edward. My love.
Out of nowhere, I collapsed. I fell in a heap on the floor.
"Bella!" Edward shouted, picking me up into his arms. I looked up at him and shook my head.
"Jeez Edward. Turn it down a little."
He looked at me confused, so I clarified. "You made me melt!" I exclaimed.
He laughed and carried me back into the bedroom. He placed me in my bed and lay next to me.
"Sorry I made you fall. You dazzled me too."
"Yeah right."
"You did! You made me forget about everything except for you. So I forgot about my arms holding you..."
I laughed. "I dazzled you?"
He nodded enthusiastically.
"I love you Edward Cullen," I said.
"And I love you Bella Cullen." I smiled as he placed his lips gently against mine.
I hope you liked it. If it was bad, don't get mad at me. I am way tired, so I am probably half asleep.
Anywho…Please Review. Only two more until there is 100!
