Disclaimer: I still don't own twilight… this is a sad day
A/N: Gah I know I've been really bad about updating but I'm going to try and be better with other stories. So yeah this is the epilogue. This is really sad for me because this is the first story I've ever finished, cause I've only written 2 stories and I've been worse about updating with the other one than with this. So yeah, read on!
Epilogue
It was the night after graduation. College graduation. We had all gone to the same college, Dartmouth, not being able to be separated. College life was easy; we had had practice at Coleman's Academy. Alice, Rose and I were roommates again and so were the boys. We liked it that way.
I had a major in journalism, and was going to start as a journalist for a New York paper in the fall. Edward was a medical student, he was still going to med school but soon his dream would be accomplished. Rose had already opened her car repair shop where she could work to her hearts desire fixing up cars for people. Emmett was on his way to opening a new night club that was to be called Eclipse. Alice was interning for a fashion designer and she was hoping to be able to open her own line sometime in the future. Jasper was going to become a psychologist; he was always good at reading other peoples emotions.
We were spending a couple weeks in New York City before we ventured out into the real world. We decided to stop by Sunset, the club we would visit during high school, for old time's sake. Of course, Alice planned so we would go on karaoke night, again.
We were sitting in a booth, watching drunk men sing horribly and laughing at them. Of course the drunks loved it because they thought they were wonderful. I could remember a night like this a while ago, when I refused to sing in front of Edward after he sang Because You Live by Jesse McCartney. I smiled at the thought of Edward singing to me, not that he hadn't sung to me plenty of times since then but the memory was nice.
Obviously, Edward and I had stayed strong through the rest of high school and all through college. Like normal couples we had our ups and downs and there were some doubts here and there but what's a relationship without a little fight right? I still couldn't believe how lucky I had gotten with Edward, to have passed our 6 year anniversary a few months ago and still feel so strongly about him. He still looked at me the way he did when he first laid eyes on me, if not the look was stronger, more sure, and that was how I liked it. I was completely confident that he loved me as much as I loved him, if not more…. No definitely not more.
Alice and Jasper and Emmett and Rose were still couples and the three of us girls couldn't be happier. We were all just as much in love as we were through high school and college. This had to be a dream, everything was too perfect. Well, if it is, I hope I never wake up and I have this feeling that I never will.
Alice and Rosalie had just been up on the stage singing off key and got a huge round of applause from the drunks. They came down laughing with huge smiles on their face and I sat back into Edward's chest with a smile of my own. I felt his lips touch my hair and I sighed, I was home. In his arms was my safe, my comfort.
The night grew on and I knew I had to do something for Edward…
Next thing I knew I was up on the stage, doing something I never did without Alice and Rose at my side.
"Hi everyone. I want to dedicate the song I'm about to sing to my boyfriend of 6 years… you showed me how to love. And I love you" I said with a smile before taking a deep breath. The song began…
What you got if you
ain't got love
the kind that you just want to give away
It's
okay to open up
go ahead and let the light shine through
I know
it's hard on a rainy day
you want to shut the world out and just
be left alone
But don't run out on your faith
'Cause sometimes
that mountain you've been climbing is just a grain of sand
What
you've been up there searching for
forever is in your hands
When
you figure out love is all that matters after all
It sure makes
everything else
seem so small
It's so easy to get lost
inside
a problem that seems so big at the time
it's like a
river thats so wide
it swallows you whole
While you sit around
thinking about what you can't change
and worrying about all the
wrong things
time's flying by
moving so fast
you better make
it count 'cause you can't get it back
Sometimes that mountain
you've been climbing is just a grain of sand
What you've been up
there searching for
forever is in your hands
When you figure
out love is all that matters after all
It sure makes everything
else
Seem so small
Sometimes that mountain you've been climbing is just a grain of sand
… all those years I tried to find how to break down my own walls, built up by problems in the past…
What you've been
up there searching for
forever is in your hands
… Edward was right there all along, always faithful, never deserting me…
When you figure
out love is all that matters after all
It sure makes everything
else
Oh it sure makes everything else
Seem so small
… oh do I know that all too well…
Yeah, Yeah
I looked up and my eyes met two emerald ones. They were filled with happiness, wonder, adoration, excitement, and… love. I smiled and set the microphone back on the stand. I walked down the steps off the stage and was practically knocked over by my best friends.
"Aw Bells! We knew you had it in you!" Alice squealed as she hugged me.
"Yeah, and you said you couldn't do it!" Rose laughed. I joined in on the laughter and walked back to the table with them.
Edward immediately stood up and grabbed me before crashing his lips down on mine. I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him back. Remembering that we were in public, the kiss slowed and our foreheads were resting against each others. We heard an "awww" behind us and Edward turned his head. He nodded and turned back to me. I had no idea what that nod meant.
I looked at Jasper and Emmett who took Alice and Rosalie by the hands and walked them to a spot a little ways from the table, they started to kneel down and my eyebrows scrunched in confusion. I heard a throat clear and my eyes went back to Edward.
He was a lot lower than usual. He was down on one knee… my eyes widened in realization, he just grinned that crooked grin I love so much.
"Isabella Swan… Ever since I met you I have been under your spell. You are the most beautiful, caring, loving, sweet, amazing woman I have ever met. No one in this world could ever compare to you and no one in this universe could ever match my feelings towards you. You are my other half, you are my strength when I am weak, you are my voice when I can't speak, you are my eyes when I can't see, you see the best there is in me, you give me strength because you believe, I am everything I am because you love me…"
I couldn't believe it, he was quoting Celine Dion's Because You Loved Me. It was so romantic, it was so… Edward.
"… Bella you are my heart and soul, I love you with everything I have and will always love you with my whole heart, I will always, always, always love you with everything I am. Isabella Marie Swan… will you do me the honor of being my wife?" He opened a little black box which held a beautiful diamond ring. It was a simple circle cut with smaller diamonds all around it. It was beautiful.
I was stunned. Edward Cullen just proposed to me. Edward freaking Cullen just proposed to ME! My mouth was agape and my eyes started to water. The corners of my mouth turned up in a smile.
"Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Of course I'll marry you, Edward!" His face lit up and he smiled. He straightened up, picked me up and kissed me. We broke apart and I turned around to see my friends in the same state as I was. They squealed and we ran over to each other hugging and laughing.
I never thought someone would love me the way Edward does. I never thought I would ever get married. I never thought my life could be this perfect.
Well, call me crazy, but I love being wrong.
A/N: And CUT!!! The end!! So sad. Okay well I've actually had a lot of people asking to write a sequel not just an epilogue and my reasoning for that is this: I really don't have anymore to write with this story. I don't want to ruin the storyline by writing a sequel just to write a sequel. The only way I would write a sequel was if I could come up with a plot for their married lives, and at the moment I can't. So as always ideas are welcome but I probably won't write a sequel to this. I'm also trying to wrap up another story I have that was completely neglected while I wrote this one so I'm going to finish that and then put a poll up for which story I'll write next. I'll post the summaries to each of them so you can decide which one you want to see first, they will all get written just in a matter of time. So thank you thank you thank you to all my faithful readers I know I haven't been the best updater but I thank you anyway!
Love you all!
