Starting Over
Nick's Point Of View
She said yes! Alexandra and I were officially engaged this morning. I know for both of us this is probably the best way for us to start over, Edward isn't going to think so. But that doesn't matter I am so tired of things standing in the way of how Alexandra ad I both feel about each other. Now that the truth is on the table nothing will stop me from loving her. And now I know she's the one, she had managed to look past the unforgivable thing I did to her and say yes. I now know I will be able to actually stand the rest of eternity, because she's with me. For the first time in almost six hundred years I was looking forward to tomorrow. But for today Alexandra and I needed to tell everyone, hopefully Alice hadn't already.
Alexandra was staring at me. I bet she was reading my thoughts. She looked scared then saw I was looking at her and she forced a smile. "What's wrong? Alexandra?" I was worried now.
"I just had a vision. Nick, you were so upset. I was scared and then I heard crying. I think I was crying. I don't really know what happened." She began crying. I had a feeling there was a part of this vision she wasn't letting me know about. I pulled her gently in my arms while I tried to reassure her that I would never do anything to hurt her. She stopped crying and smiled instead.
Alexandra's Point Of View
I couldn't stop thinking of the vision through breakfast. All I saw was that Nick was extremely upset, it was somewhere between grief and anger. I knew I was crying, begging him not to leave, and then I saw him go to the Volturi. He asked them to die and they refused, instead he joined them. I didn't know if it would come true but all the while I wore a fake smile. It wasn't right to upset him just yet. I knew he would never leave me especially not for the Volturi, but to be safe I was going to be perfect to him so that he had no reason to go. Nick and I were going to start over with the perfect marriage and the perfect family if we ever came to that.
I looked up from my plate at Nick. We were sitting alone in my kitchen, everyone else was waiting for us to deliver our news at the Cullen/Hale house. I was growing more and more nervous with each passing moment. It wasn't making it much easier with Nick sitting there just watching me eat. If my dad is in a bad mood I'm as good as dead. Nick took my hand.
"Don't worry Alex, it'll be ok. And don't you dare think about that vision, I would never, could never be mad with someone so perfect and understanding and amazing as you." He put a finger under my chin and lifted up my face. One look at him and my heart melted. There was no way I could be upset with him around. Especially since now he would always be there to make me feel this way. I would do everything to be the perfect wife.
