A little worried how Renee would react made me start wondering if I should even mention it.
"Bella, sweetie what did you want to talk to me about?" I could hear a hint of concern in her voice as I fumbled with my fingers hiding the ring until I wanted to show her.
"Well mom, I want to know what you think of Edward." I hated asking that as soon as it came out of my mouth. Renee's face fell, I could tell she didn't like him, maybe even hated him. "Mom please tell me the truth." I couldn't look at her anymore, the look in her eyes scared me, I didn't want my mother hating my fiancée. But none the less I would still marry him, he is my angel, my life, I cant life without him.
"You may not like what I have to say." There was pain in her voice. I looked at her with a small smile signaling her to continue. "Well don't get me wrong sweetie, he seems like a nice kid, but she is not good for you."
"How come?"
"Well I still think that he is too old for you."
"I am eighteen now mom, and besides he is only nineteen." I hoped she didn't notice I was lying; if only she knew how old he truly was. "And the most important thing is I love him."
"But you cant love him, your to young to understand what love is."
"I am not, and I do love him, with my whole heart."
"Bella that is just ridiculous! You're a child, and I don't think that he feels the same for you." That stung; how could she think that.
"You are wrong he does love me." I was fighting to keep my voice calm.
"If he truly loved you he would not have cause you pain. Do you not remember how he just up and left you like you were nothing a few months back." She was becoming annoyed that I was defending him. In her eyes he was not good enough for me, he left me once and what would stop him next time. Thinking this is shuddered but fought it back, he wouldn't leave me again, now that we promised to change and marry me as well.
"Like I told Charlie it was a huge misunderstanding, he thought I was the one that didn't care, that's why he didn't contact me." I turned away from her, besides the Cullen's, Renee was the only other one that could tell when I was lying.
"Bella, even if what you say is true. I still don't like him. You could do so much better, honey there are a lot of boys out there who would treat you much better."
"Damnit Renee!" I never called her by her name, she was taken back by this. "He loves me, I even think he loves me more then I love him. There are things between us that you could never even imagine. I died the day he left me, and when he was back it was like I was reborn. I could never do better then him, Edward means everything to me, I wish you saw that." Tears were forming as I fought hard to hold them back. After a moment of shock she began yelling at me.
"Isabelle don't you ever call me Renee again, did I not teach you any manners! This also must be something you picked up from that Edward! I have a mind to take you back with me after your fathers funeral." I was now infuriated with her, damn her for hating the man I loved.
"I will not go back with you, I am staying here with Edward. I love you mom but no matter what you say I am staying here with him, and I am going…" I stopped myself I didn't want to tell her this way. We sat in silence as we tried to both calm down, we normally don't fight like this and it hurt both of us.
"I understand that you have feelings for him, I do. But trust me when I tell you that they will fade with time. Honey, he has hurt you many times in the past and I am positive that he will do it again." She passed as if thinking whether or not to continue. "I don't want to upset you but I think it best if you stop seeing him altogether. Come back to Florida with me and trust me you will soon see things in a different light."
"No I won't leave. I am not like you, I won't run when things get complicated." Pain flickered in her eyes. "You left Charlie when things got complicated, and like many other things when they too became complicated you just gave up. I won't do that!"
"ISABELLA!" She yelled, "How dare you talk like that to me. Just for that I forbid you to ever see Edward again, he is a bad influence I see this now. And yes you are coming back with me and you have no say in this!" She as now standing over me. I could see the anger building in her.
"I am an adult now, and you can not make me do anything!" I stood to face her and I was waving my arms around in anger. "I will continue to see him, and there is nothing you can do to stop me!" I started to storm off but she caught me by my left arm.
"I am your mother and I will not allow you to…" That is when she noticed the ring. "WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?" Her face was turning red, but not from a blush. I pulled my arm away from her and hid my hand behind my back. "I ASKED YOU A QUESTION. WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?"
"My engagement ring to Edward. I am going to marry him!" I whispered, I knew what was coming.
"WHAT?" She fell back on the couch in shock. "You can not be serious."
"I am, and there is nothing you can do to stop me. I love him and we will be married soon. I love him and he loves me." I was still firm.
"That's it, we are leaving NOW!" She stood up and grabbed my left hand. Before I could stop her she grabbed the ring off my finger and threw it to the ground and started to drag me toward the door. I pulled free right before we hit the door.
"NO, I will not leave with you. And how dare you, that is my ring you have no right to take it off like that!" I was still holding the tears back. "Like I said I love you, but I love him and I will stay with him. Even if you don't approve!"
"No daughter of mine is going to marry a guy that Edward. I will die before I will let that happen!" She was scolding, I could tell that she was starting to tremble.
"Like I told you before I am going to marry him rather you like it or not. I was hoping it wouldn't be like this."
"And what is that?" She crossed her arms across her chest.
"I hate you for hating the man I love, and if you don't approve of me loving him then I don't want to be around you!" I was now shaking, I couldn't believe I was saying this to my mother.
"You don't mean that." There was shock in her voice.
"But I do, if you are going to stand in-between me and my happiness then I would rather disassociate myself with you!" I turned I could no longer look at her, it hurt too much. She placed a hand on my shoulder.
"Bella, please try and see this from my point of view. One you are way to young to get married, take it from one who has been there. And two I am completely sure that these are not real feelings, he is not worthy of you." I pushed her off and turned to her full of anger.
"NO I WONT!" The tears were fighting even harder to fall but I just pushed them back. "I love him, and he loves me. Nothing will change that NOTHING! Why don't you try seeing things from my point of view."
"Isabelle come on, grow up. I will not let this happen and I am sure that his parents will not allow it either, you are to young!"
"That is where you are wrong, they have given us their blessing. You are the only one that disapproves of this. If only you weren't so stubborn!"
"WHAT?" She was shaking her head. "What has happened to you? You use to be a sweet girl and now look at how you are talking to your mother!"
"Mom I don't like fighting with you, but there is nothing that you can do or say that will change this. I love him and I always will I just wish you could see that."
"I see my daughter being taken for a fool!" Her voice was beginning to rise again.
"How could you? I HATE YOU!" I yelled her face feel, normally I would say sorry for hurting her like that but she hurt me deeply and right now I didn't care. The tears had begun to spill over as I pushed past her and out of the room. I started down the hall when I tripped, I fell hard on my hands a knees. I tried to get up but I couldn't I was sobbing and shaking too hard to even think.
"Bella!" Edward cried as he turned me around and held me tight in his arms. I looked over his shoulder to see Renee standing in the doorway. The pain faded from her eyes as she glared in our direction, how could she hate him, he was my everything, couldn't she see that?
"Get me out of here…please." I begged him. He nodded as he picked me up and walked down the hall and around a corner, then he took me into another room were Alice and Jasper were playing chess.
"Edward, Bella what's wrong?" Alice worried as she went to get up from the game but Edward shock his head and told her to stay put. Then I saw Jasper out of the corner of my eye twitch, I had so many feelings hitting me at once that he must be going crazy. Edward then carried me into the bedroom.
"I am so sorry." I whispered.
"You have nothing to be sorry for Bella." I could hear the pain in his voice, I pulled back a little from him and noticed that there was nothing but pain in his beautiful golden eyes.
"She has no right. I could she, she doesn't even know you."
"But she is right, I don't deserve you. You could do so much better then me, maybe I should…" The tears began to fall again, he cant leave me not again.
"Don't Edward please. It is me that doesn't deserve you, and if you leave again I would die. I don't care what Renee thinks, I love you. I want to be with you and…" He then kissed me.
"Bella I won't leave you, never again. I am not strong enough too and besides I think that she will come around." The look in his eyes made me doubt him, after that fight I don't think that she will ever come around.
"I know you were listening, and I am sorry you had to hear that. But she hates you, and I hate that, how can she I mean she just, she's wrong and I hate it." I began sobbing in his chest again, how could she it just wasn't fair.
"She doesn't hate me, she just thinks that I am using you. And she doesn't want to see you hurt like last time, and I don't blame her."
"She doesn't hate you, but I thought." I was shocked by his words, I thought she hated Edward.
"Trust me Bella, she truly doesn't hate me. But she doesn't trust me. She knows there is something off with me, she doesn't know what it is but something tells her that I am not safe." He forced a smile I could see that.
"I guess, but she is wrong."
"Not completely." I looked at him in shock. "I am not safe to be around, you know this. I am dangerous to any human, but even more to you."
"You would never hurt me." I took his face in my hands. "I trust you with my life. I love you and that is all that matters. Some how I don't know how, but I will make her see that." He smiled a little but the pain still held in his eyes. "Please don't look like that."
"Like what?"
"I hate seeing you hurting, and worse of all it is because of my mother. I am sorry."
"You have nothing to be sorry for. I am sorry that I have brought yet another complication into your life."
"Stop it Edward! Don't talk like that, if anything you make my life worth living. I don't want you feeling guilty or sad because of me. I love you and that is all that matters." I pulled him closer to me and kissed him slightly before placing my head on his chest to listen to his breathing.
"I love you too, and don't worry things will work out." I nodded and then we sat like till Alice walked in.
"Is everything okay?" She was concerned.
"Yeah, things are going to be fine." Edward answered.
"Are you sure?" She pressed
"Alice what are you getting at?" He snarled.
"Well Jasper had to leave, he said that he couldn't take it anymore." I looked at Alice feeling guilty.
"I am sorry Alice. I didn't mean to make him leave."
"Its okay Bella, but I think it wasn't just you." She eyed Edward.
"Alice it's complicated."
"And how so Edward? I mean what could…" Then her eyes dazed over, Edward let go of me and jumped up and caught Alice before she fell over. He had a worried look on his face as held her up, her expression was becoming alarmed. I could tell she was having a vision, not only cause I knew the reaction she had to them, but only that or me being in danger would Edward let go of me like he had. A few minutes later she came back around and looked at me.
"Oh Bella." I couldn't tell if that was worry in her tone or not but then Edward smiled and it actually touched his eyes.
"What did you see?" I was alarmed even though Edward seemed happy almost giddy.
