Mine By Taylor Swift: Twilight Version

"NO CHARLIE!" screamed Renee

"YES RENEE!" yelled Charlie

"WHY DID I EVER MARRY YOU IN THE FIRST PLACE?" shouted Renee

"WHY DID I EVER PROPOSE?" Charlie hollered back

Well, that's all you ever hear through their doors. Fighting, yelling screaming. I sighed. I love them both to death but why can't they just divorce? It would be so much better if they weren't in each other's lives.

I was sitting on my bed locking myself away from the rest of the world.

I wonder why people bother with love if it never lasts. Like my parents love, or Angela and Ben's love. What happened to it? Why do people get hurt because of love? Unanswered questions pooled through my head. I decided to not fall in love. I mean what's the point? It never lasts.

I called my best friend Alice to see if she wanted to go out for dinner tomorrow. It was dinner Tuesday she usually did.

"Hello?" she answered

"Hey Alice, are we still on for tomorrow night?" I asked

"Um, Sorry Bella but I got a date…" she said

"Oh. Um Okay?" I said but it came out a question

"Yeah, maybe later" she said after a really awkward silence. Then she hung up.

I sighed and slid down my wall to sit on the carpet.

After a while I decided to read, and I fell asleep.

The next morning I slept in, to get away from Charlie and Renee. It was the first day of summer break from college and I wanted to make it last memorably.

When I finally got up around ten thirty I went to eat breakfast. As usual Renee and Charlie were at work. Charlie was a police officer and Renee was a nurse.

I got myself some cereal and wild and ate it lifelessly. Spoon, eat, chew, spoon, eat, and chew. The same thing everyday. Eventually I was done and I washed out the bowl and walked back to my room and read, went on the computer and drew. I checked my clock and it read one. It was time for lunch so I decided to just go out and eat.

I got in my faded rusty Chevy truck and drove around town. I saw a sign that said 'Love Diner' and I walked in and sat in the corner seat. I waited for a waiter or waitress.

I eventually put my head down on the small retro table.

A throat being cleared forced me to look up and I blushed immediately.

My waiter was very handsome. He was tall, standing around six feet, tousled copper hair and flashing green eyes. He smiled warmly at me and asked, "Miss, are you ready to order?"

"Uh. Yes...-I took a quick look at the menu and picked the first thing I saw- I would like to order a mushroom ravioli please" I said, blushing

He nodded and scribbled it down on his notebook. "I will be right back with that miss" he said before walking down to the 'Employees Only' part.

I sat there waiting for him. Oh. Uh I mean my food. Yeah. Food. Yum.

He came back fifteen minutes with my food. He put it in front of me and smiled again.

"Thank you." I managed to breathe

He chuckled and my blush came back full force

"You shouldn't be. It's my job" he said. So he was only talking to me and being nice for his job! I sighed and my heart sunk deeper into my chest

"Yeah, I guess…" I choked out and stabbed ravioli with the fork and popped it into my mouth. I looked back at him and he was looking at me attentively.

He looked uncomfortable for a second and asked, "What's your name?"

"Bella Swan, is this for the bill?" I asked

"Uh, yeah that and I wanted to ask you out…" he said

I thought about it and smiled at him. "It depends. I need to know more about you… What's your name?"

He smiled a crooked grin and pointed at the nametag. I blushed and felt stupid.

It read Edward. Nice name.

"So Edward, favorite book?" I asked

"Hm, Withering Heights"

"Really? Mine too!"

"Cool! Favorite movie?"

"The Last Song"

He laughed shaking his head.

"Yours?"

"The Mall Cop"

It was my turn to shake my head and laugh.

The rest of the time that he was free talked to him. He had a lot in common with me. For instance we both came from the small town of Forks and we moved to Seattle for college.

We made a date for Saturday at the lake, and exchanged phone numbers.

The rest of the day's before Saturday was a dream. He called me every time he could and I called him when I could.

Saturday rolled around and he picked me up at five.

We drove into the mountains to a lake he found on a forgotten trail.

On the way we talked about meaningless chatter I probably would forget when I got home.

I almost choked when I saw the scene before me. It was a beautiful lake sparkling and clean. He smiled and we sat down on the blanket and looked at the scenery. It was fairly quiet and we didn't touch except for our hands folded in each other's.

It was pleasantly awkward. Then, we started telling jokes, and funny events in our life.

We got up and walked along the shore. A few minutes later he slung his arm around me, for the first time. I was fitting in his arms perfectly, almost like we were made for each other.

After the amazing date he drove me home. My parents were still at work so I was all alone. Again.

Six months later, Edward and I have gotten a lot closer. Then one day Edward asked to move in together. We both had a job that could cover the cost for the rent. I agreed. I was never surer about anything.

Now, when I think how I was six months ago-so against love- I laugh. I guess I never knew how to love. I sighed. It's great.

Then one day we had our very first fight. It was brutal. We shouted at each other till two AM. I ran out of the apartment crying and he ran after me. I braced myself for the good bye cause that's is all I ever known.

Then he spoke. I winced and waited for him to break up with me; but he took me by surprise and said "I will never leave you alone"

He said ""I remember how we felt, sitting by the water. And every time I look at you, it's like the first time. I fell in love with a careless man's careful daughter.
She is the best thing that's ever been mine."

I gasped and jumped into his arms and sobbed into his shoulder whispering "I love you" with every breath I took.

Since that fight, Edward and I were a whole more closer. I love him with all my heart.

Four months later I came home from my part time job Edward surprised me with a very romantic home cooked meal. It was in our dining room, he set up the table and everything. He gave me a single blue rose. Blue, so different from the usual reds and pinks.

After we ate, he got down on one knee and pulled out the navy blue velvet box. I started to cry. A lot.

Then I considered it. Wait! What about if we become like my parents? I would not live like that, fighting so much.

"Edward, I want more than anything to say yes." I cried

"But…" he prompted, hurt clear in his voice and eyes

"I don't want to us to be like our parents" I choked out

"Which is?" he asked

"They did not have a happy marriage. They fight constantly." I murmured

"Oh, Bella. Dearest, we will not make their mistakes!" he said, a determined and final tone.

"Then, Yes. I will marry you!" I gushed and the water works stopped

He smiled and leaned down to kiss me.

After we said our 'I dos' we were now officially husband and wife. I looked down at my ring (which was his biological mother's ring-he was adopted) and smiled.

"Edward?" I called for him

"Yes, love?"

"You are the best thing, that's ever been mine" I said. And he was.

He smiled brightly and kissed me.
