Chapter 7- Funeral

I couldn't stop all the tears of sorrow that were falling down my face. It was almost my turn to make my speech about Charlie.

The whole town of Forks was here for Charlie's funeral. The pitiful looks people were giving me weren't helping my sorrow.

I stood up slowly as Charlie's friend, Billy had finished his speech. I made my way up to the podium and adjusted the microphone to my height. I wiped the tears off my eyes and started my speech. (I have no idea how a funeral runs, I've only been to two in my whole life and I was about six)

"Hello, my name is Bella Swan and as you all know, I'm Charlie's daughter." I couldn't stop my sniffling as I continued.

"When I came out here to live with Charlie, I expected my life to be boring. But Charlie was the one who started my music career. He's the one who told me to follow my dreams. He was the greatest man you could ever know. I'm gonna miss seeing Charlie's smile and hearing his laugh. I'm always gonna feel like something's missing. Charlie is a hero, he lost his life trying to arrest a drunk driver. I'll always miss you daddy," I whispered the last line, hoping Charlie could hear me.

I walked off the stage, crying once again. I made my way to Edward's open arms. I hid my face in his shoulder, not paying attention to the speech going on. I missed Charlie with all my heart. I instantly relaxed when Edward kissed my forehead and slowly rubbed my back.

"Bella, everything is going to be alright. Are you sure you want to watch them bury Charlie? You don't have to if it's too hard for you."

I nodded my head, unable to speak without bursting out into sobs.

I heard the last words of the last speech, emotionally preparing myself for Charlie's burial.

Edward held my hand as we walked behind the black vehicle carrying Charlie's body. I still couldn't believe he was gone. I also couldn't believe Renee couldn't make it out here for her ex husband's funeral.

The tears just kept on coming as Charlie's body was laid into the ground. I was the last to drop a flower onto his coffin before he was buried.

Edward and I were the last people to leave the funeral.

Edward held the car door open for me and I sat down in the car quietly. Edward got in the driver's seat and drove us to my apartment, being quiet the whole way there.

Instead of taking the stairs to my room, we took the elevator.

"Thanks for going with me Edward, I don't know what I would have done if I went alone."

"No problem, well I think I'm gonna head home now. Bye Bella."

I stared at his back as he made his way to the elevator. I was surprised Edward was so understanding. God, I love Edward! Oh my god! I think I'm in love with Edward Cullen! I realized that I was in love with Edward Cullen. But how can that be? I haven't even known him for a week! I needed to tell Edward, even if he doesn't feel the same way.

Edward's elevator had closed so I started running down the stairs, hoping I could make it down before he got to his car. Oh shit! It's raining outside! Ah, screw the rain! I need to tell Edward!

I got to the bottom of the stairs right when Edward was about to unlock his car door.

"Edward! Edward wait!," I shouted, causing him to stop unlocking the door. I ran to him not giving a damn about the rain even though I was soaked. Edward was wearing a jacket so he wasn't that wet.

"Bella, you should get back inside. You will get a cold if you don't."

"Edward, there's something I need to tell you and it can't wait." Edward gave me a questioning look, but nodded for me to continue.

"Edward, when I first saw you, I thought you were a god. You were the most gorgeous guy I had ever seen. I realized, after today, that I'm... in love with you."

Edward's face held many emotions, happiness, love, sadness, and many others. But I also noticed that he looked guilty. I left that thought alone the second I heard Edward speak.

"Bella, when I first saw you, I thought you were an angel. You're the most beautiful, caring, and intelligent woman I have ever met. When I found out how clumsy you were, I wanted to be the person who was always catching you. Bella, I'm in love with you."

I could stop the smile that came upon my face. Before I knew it, Edward had lifted me up, spun me around, and planted his lips on mine.

His lips moved along with mine. Edward moaned when I slid my tongue against his bottom lip. He opened his mouth and we kissed more passionately as our tongues danced together. He tastes so good!!

Edward pulled his mouth away so we could breathe. He leaned forward so our foreheads rested on eachothers.

"I loved you Edward Cullen, with all my heart." That was all i could say before his lips crashed onto mine again.
