Two weeks later…

EPOV

I woke up to an empty bed and hearing my angels voice arguing with Alice. "I'm not the one who thought that would be a good idea!" Bella Whispered with anger in her voice. "I know, but come on, you have to go!" I was curious to what they were saying and decided to pretend to still be asleep.

"I don't want to go with you! No one goes on these "trips" of your and comes back alive!"

"Bella… Please! For me!" Alice whined.

"NO! I'm gong to stay here with Edward!"

"Then your going with me because so is Edward!" Alice said with laughter.

Time to get up. I wasn't really sure what they were talking about, but I had a feeling that I needed to go help Bella. "So were am I going?" I asked Alice. Bella looked like she was in shock. Were going to visit mom and dad and I told Bella it would be nice if she visited with her parents too and she had a fit." Alice stated. Bella shook her head and headed to my room, slamming the door behind her. Emmett and Rose suddenly appeared. "Hey everyone!" Rose came in looking her usual perfect self. "Where's Bells?" Emmett asked. I pointed to my room. "Bells? Hey you still asleep? Get up!" Bella opened the door with flames in her eyes. "They want me to go to Forks. And visit Mom…and Dad!!" She yelled. I was shocked and Everyone but Emmett seemed to be on the same page as I was. "Oh…you don't have to." Bella nodded and shut the door, locking it behind her. "Does anyone want to explain?" I asked. Bella always seemed so close to her mother. I wasn't so sure about her dad, but I knew she loved her mother very much. "She doesn't have to go if she doesn't want to. She can stay here." Emmett said gravely. "give me one good reason." Alice said, hands on hips. Emmett turned with flames in him eyes, but before he could answer Bella stepped out and looked calmer, but yet was still scarier than her brother. "You want to know why I don't want to see my parents? Because moms not there, she in Florida with some guy named Phil, and I don't ever want to see my abusive father again. He scares me a hell of a lot more than James." She started crying and Emmett stared at her. "Bella." was all he said. She looked ready to run, but instead she ran over to me and started crying. "I don't want to go back to him! Please!" She looked up at me with red, puffy eyes and tear stained cheeks,

"Edward. Please. I'll go see your parents fine sure. But I don't want to see HIM ever again." she pleaded. She was slowly breaking my heart.

"You never have to." I said kissing the top of her head. She sighed and snuggled closer to my chest.

"Edward. You are going to see Mom and dad. They haven't seen you in two months." Alice said still on a mission. I turned toward her. "I'm not leaving Bella. If she wants to go that's just fine, but I'm not leaving her." Emmett smiled and wrapped his arm around Rosalie. "Hey bells," she turned toward him. "Maybe it would be good to go home. I'll go with you and I know you hate dad…" He stopped when she started to shake her head and looked up at me. "Bella, maybe you should face your father. You left James and now you've got all the people that love you here and I know we all want you to be happy. Me and Em will go with you. How's that sound?" I looked in her eyes and they were filled with sorrow and pain. I held her tighter.

"Okay, I'll go… but you have to be with me the whole time. You cant leave me." She warned.

"Wouldn't dream of it. Alice started to jump and Bella looked at her and fear came into her eyes.

"Oh…no…no Alice!… No way in HELL!!" I looked at them both.

"What?"

Rose smiled. "Alice wants to go shopping."

BPOV

"Alice, come one. I'm Gong with you, isn't that enough?" I asked. I wasn't really happy about it but Emmett and Edward would be there. "Nope. We are shopping for at least four hours! Get over it!"

"Alice, please!" I whined, It had only been one hour and I was dying. Alice had been in 5 stores and we had 10 HUGE bags of clothes. Much of which were for me and I had no choice in whether or not I got to buy them. To make matters worse, Edward had told Alice to not let me spend a dime of my little existence for money. (I really needed a job.) and therefore, Alice bought it all. I hated it. Also, I hadn't seen Edward in 2 hours because he and Emmett and Jasper had 'Guy errands' to run.

"Rose, tell Bella that she can live to be in the mall for four hours!" Rose turned towards me, but before she said anything, I started to talk again, "Rose! Tell Alice that I miss-" Alice cut me off.

"No! you can be away from Edward for awhile. Its not that bad."

"Maybe you should both stop telling me to tell you something then talk to each other.…" Rosalie said, irritation in her voice. Alice and I frowned.

"Alright Alice, you want me to shop with you no matter what? And as long as you want, without complaints?" She looked shocked but smiled and nodded. "Alright? What do you want?" She was so smart… sometimes. "Okay, narrow it down to 3 hours and I'll shop as long as you want." I stated and she looked to be considering it. Then her phone started to ring.

"Hello… yeah… ok… you here already… ok…. Around Macys…Kay's…" and she looked at me. "Hold on Edward". She walked away. I turned to rose. "Okay rose? What's up?" She smiled and shook her head. Alice came back towards us, smiling at me. "Edward and the boys are on there way over here." She replied smiling.

EPOV

"Do you think that she'll like it?" I asked Emmett. We were in the middle of Kay's Jewelry store and I was trying to pick out an engagement ring for Bella. I had decided on my last business trip that I was going to, but I came home and things changed, but I recently realized that I wanted to, more than thing, be with Bella forever, and ask her to marry me, and I planned to do so this weekend. I realized that even though I had been dating her for a short amount of time I wanted to be with her since I saw her that first day of high school. She had told me once that she had loved me just as long and I could see in her eyes that she was telling the truth. I loved her and that's all that mattered to me. I just hoped she would say yes. "Edward…Earth to Edward! You alive?" Emmett's hand waved in front of my face while jasper was talking to me. "Umm… Yeah, I'm fine."

"Are you getting old feet already? 'Cause really-"

"No, Emmett. Not cold feet. Just…thinking… What if she doesn't want to marry me?"

Jasper and Emmett started to laugh out load, causing every one in the store to turn towards us. "Edward, Really! That's like saying that Alice doesn't want to marry me!" Jasper laughed. I knew how much Alice and Jasper wanted to get married and were trying to save up as much money as they could for Alice's big wedding. I found it Funny that Jasper put up with her. "You think?" I asked buy the ring I wanted and walked away. "Yes. I think, she loves you. Her eyes light up when you enter the room. She smiles all the time now and she seems like the old Bella. That's all do to you guys love." Emmett smiled. I guess he would know best.
