"Bella? Are you ready to go?" Edward asked me as he strolled into my empty and clean hospital room. I had been stuck in here for 3 weeks after Justin's particularly awful beating. But they were finally letting me go home, well to the Cullen's house anyway, but they're like family so it is home to me.

"Good, I'll but your stuff in the car and then come and get you. Can you sign yourself out, please?"

"Of course, thanks Edward." I said as I handed him the suitcase of stuff I had for my time in recovery and kissed him lightly.

He left and I went to the front office to check out. I was extremely sore, but I hadn't let anyone know. It was just from my bruises.

"Good morning Bella, glad to see you well today!" Carlisle said as he passed by me.

"Morning Dr. Cullen! You know, I've been meaning to ask you, whatever happened to Justin? I know he was arrested, but what happened after that?"

"They took him into court and based on your physical condition and the 'crime scene' he is now serving 20 years in prison. As for your mother, she was brought into court too, for some sort of charges for non-physical abuse or something."

Both of them? Well, America really is a good country! Sure mom wasn't who I was mad at, but those charges did make sense….at least I have nothing to worry about now. I think….

……

After getting me settled into the guest bedroom (which the Cullens insisted was mine now) and eating dinner, I was warming up to living with the Cullens! School started again tomorrow, but I had to stay home due to my lack of physical well-being…But a plus is that Edward is staying home with me, since apparently I can't fend for myself.

So after all the little Cullens headed off to school and Carlisle and Esme to work, it was just me and Edward.

"Now, Edward this is not going to be a day were you are my slave or anything, just because I'm injured. That's on Saturdays. And I'm not really injured. So how about we watch a movie or something."

Edward chuckled as he came up behind me and put his arms around me.

"Of course, but I'm not letting you do anything dangerous. And I say we should do the 'something'"

"Define 'something' please" I said with a smile.

"Hmmm. Something like this…" he said as he pressed his lips to mine.

"I like something"

Edward laughed and pulled me down on the couch. He kissed all over my face and down my neck. I knew then, that I loved Edward Cullen with every fiber of my being and wanted him, and only him.

"I love you, Bella, you know that, right?" He mumbled through his frequent kisses.

"Of course I do, and I love you."

He sighs ina happy way

…….

EDWARD:

Ohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygod. I coulden't belive my luck!!!! The girl of my dreams was going to be staying right down the hall from me!!! Right now, we were in my room listening to a CD I bought her in the hospital Gift shop.

"I love you so much, Bella" she smiled and laughed.

"I know. And feel the same way."

"Marry me, Bella. I know we're young, but there's no one else I want to spend my life with but you."

WOAH, Edward!?!??!?! Where is this coming from!??? I asked myself. But all I just said was true, it just happened.

BELLA:

Wow, I didn't think I could be this happy. "I love you so much, Bella." Edward's usual sweet talk warmed my heart and deepened my love even more.

"I know, I feel the same way."

But then he did the one thing I was NOT expecting.

"Marry me Bella, I know we're young, but there's no-one I want to spend my life with but you." Edward's eyes were sparkling with emotion and I'm pretty sure mine were too. Where had this come from?

"Edward, I'm 17! And so are you!"

"So is that a no?" he said and his face fell.

"I want nothing more than to marry you, but I'm not sure if this is the right time…"

"Well what if we're just engaged and we get married and plan all the other stuff later?" he proposed.

I like this, a lot. Because I love Edward but I can't get married in high school! I smiled and sat up. He wrapped his arms around me and I sat on hil lap and wrapped my arms around his neck.

"Hmm, I would love that."

"Do you realize that you are engaged, miss future Isabella Cullen?" he said with a laugh.

"Ha. Ha. Very funny, Mr. Cullen. Your just lucky to get a girl, aren't you?" I teased

"Yes, I am actually. And I'd say I did pretty good, considering the wide variety of choices."

"Can we please not talk about these 'choices'?"

"I have eyes only for you, love.'

I have 2 words and a symbol: Bella=*swoon*
