He waved as I got inside and slowly drove away for the last time.
Chapter 7
August 8, 2007 Cullen Home
I woke up again to the face of my true love. It knocked the breath out of me as I looked at his angelic face. He was so beautiful. His eyes were staring into mine. I couldn't breathe again. I was going to have to get used to that, because it was going to happen every day, now and forever.
"Hello beautiful, how are you? I had a wonderful night, and I suppose you did too." He smiled his crooked smile at me. I couldn't help but smile back. He leaned in to kiss me, but it was quick. He got up off the bed and walked over to the side where I was laying.
"You're carriage has arrived, madam." He held out his arms and I giggled and jumped into them. He kissed my forehead and then took me downstairs. Esme and Alice were in the kitchen talking. I heard words like 'today' and 'over' and 'Bella.' I got a few glances in my direction.
That's when it hit me. Edward put me down and I felt a little dizzy. I was being changed into a vampire TODAY. I couldn't believe it was going to happen. I got dizzier, and then everything went black…….
….. ….. ….. ….. ….. …..
"Bella, Bella?" I could hear the worry in his velvet voice. "Alice, when will she wake up?"
"She'll be waking up in 54 seconds, Edward."
"Oh Bella, please open your eyes. I need to see them again." My eyes fluttered open and I saw Edward's face relax.
"Edward," I choked out his name. "Edward?"
"Oh Bella, my love. Do you know what happened?" His eyes searched my face for any expression at all.
"Well, I was listening to what Alice and Esme were saying, and then I got dizzy and everything went black." I cringed as I tried to lift my head up.
"Exactly what were Esme and Alice saying, love?" He glared over at Alice and she stuck her tongue out.
"I don't remember anything before that, Edward. How long have I been out?" I searched around for a clock, but failed. My head throbbed ferociously with pain. Tears started to drift out of my eyes.
"Bella, it's okay," He pulled me up carefully, and held me in his arms. "You were out for 2 hours." His face looked pained as he said the time.
I started to sob. "Oh Edward!" I sobbed again. "Can we talk alone? I need to talk to you." I looked up at his face. He kissed my forehead, careful not to hurt it.
"Of course, Bella. I'll carry you." I couldn't object to that. He swiftly pulled me into his arms, not hurting me at all, and he ran up the stairs.
We got in his room at no time at all and I was on his bed. My head hurt and my back hurt. "Edward, how come I hurt so much?" I didn't even remember anything that happened this morning.
"Well, my love, you fainted and fell to the ground fairly hard. I guess I didn't have fast enough reflexes to catch you," He smiled, and I smiled back. I had to talk to him about the whole vampire thing. Everything was coming back to me. What Alice and Esme said, why I fainted, it was all here!
"Edward, I know why I fainted. I remember what Alice and Esme were saying," He looked at me with a confused face. "They were saying 'today' and 'over' and 'Bella' and they kept looking at me. I fainted because I'm being turned into a vampire TODAY!!"
"Bella, honey, you don't have to do it today. Don't think you have to," He trailed off. I was guessing he was looking at my face, because it was covered in tears.
"That's the thing, Edward. I DO want to become a vampire today, and that's why I fainted. I was so excited and then, kerplunk! I was down. Edward, I want to become a vampire," I studied his face. He had no expression whatsoever. Then he smiled his crooked smile and held me in his arms.
"Bella, honey, you are to be changed at noon." I looked at the clock. It was 10:00. I felt a little queasy. "We better go and say goodbye to Charlie," He kissed my hair. He stood up and walked over to the door, "I'll let you change, and then meet me downstairs. I love you." He closed the door and he was probably downstairs already.
After I showered, I put on a beautiful electric blue dress, it was strapless with a boned bodice, and it had a fitted drop waist and a fully lined and zip back. I couldn't believe how I looked in it. It was like it was destined for me. I looked at myself again and again in the mirror. It was already 10:30, so I ran down the stairs.
Edward was waiting on the couch and when he saw me, it looked like his jaw was going to drop.
"Bella, you look gorgeous! You are beautiful in every way!" I blushed and smiled. He came over to me and took my hand. He led me to his Volvo, and I said that he could drive fast this time. He was so happy, that he was up to 110 in ½ a second.
"So Bella, what are you going to say to Charlie?" He looked over, taking his eyes off the road.
"I'll say goodbye, and that I love him. I'll also say I'll be sending him letters, and our Christmas card. We better take it now so I don't look gorgeous in it."
"I think you look gorgeous now, Bella." He smiled at me and turned his eyes back to the road. We were pulling into my driveway. The cruiser was already there.
We walked up the steps of my house and up to the front door. I looked at a clock through the window. It was 11:00. I took a deep breath. Charlie walked up to the door and opened it.
"Hello Edward, hey Bells! What are you wearing?! You look astonishing!" I blushed again. "Hey, Bella, there's no need for blushing. So guys, why are you here?" He looked at both of our faces, and we walked in and sat on the couch. Charlie sat down too.
"Ch- Dad, did you know that, um, we're leaving to Alaska today?" I looked at Charlie's face, and it drooped into a sad face.
"Are you really leaving? I can't believe my little girl is going off to college," He stood up and pulled me into a hug. I tried not to cry.
"I'll send letters, and Christmas cards, and everything! Dad, I love you and I'm going to miss you so much." Tears started flowing out of my eyes.
"I love you too, Bells. I hope you'll come to visit." He pulled back and looked at me. "Bella, I'm so glad you chose to come and stay with me." He hugged me again. He let go and walked over to Edward, who stood up.
"Edward, take good care of my little girl. I know you'll do fine." He shook hands and then I took Edward's.
"Goodbye, Dad! I'll miss you!" I yelled. Right as I was walking out the door, I saw a tear drop out of Charlie's eye.

"Bella, are you ready?" Carlisle asked me. I looked up at his face and nodded. I looked back at Edward's and smiled.
"Bella, I'm so proud of you. I'm glad you chose to come and live with us." Esme kissed my forehead and stepped back.
"I love you Bella, and I can't wait until I see you as a vampire!" Alice took my hand and held on.
Now it was Edward's turn to speak. "Bella, I'll love you always and forever. I'm glad that you chose to live and love me forever." He smiled his crooked smile, and I smiled back.
I looked at the clock. It was 11:59! "Edward, it's time." Carlisle was speaking to Edward. Alice held tight to my hand. Edward leaned toward my face and next to my ear.
He whispered, "My bounty is as deep as the sea, my love as deep; the more I give to thee, the more I have, for both are infinite. My heart is ever at your service." Tears dropped down my face. He was saying Shakespeare to me!
"I love you Edward, forever and ever!" I smiled. Edward pulled his face away from mine and down to my hand. This was the hand where James had bitten me. He didn't want me to have another scar like that.
He bent down and put his lips against my scar and I felt his cold lips touch my warm skin for the last time.
