We pulled apart after an immeasurable amount of time to see the faces of our friends beaming at us along with quite a few strangers.

"I guess this means you're staying then?" Emmett asked, hopeful.

"There's nowhere else I'd rather be" I told them.

Alice threw herself at me and Edward clearly delighted, soon after Rose joined in followed by Jasper and Emmett, who announced loudly "group hug!"

Edward then gently took my hand in his and together, with our friends we walked out of the terminal and to the car park.

"Bella, can I drive you home?" Edward asked me.

I nodded, smiling making him smile too. Seeing him, smiling like that made my heart soar.

He opened the passenger door for me and helped me into the Volvo before loading my bags into the trunk.

Edward claimed my hand again once he had joined my in the car. We didn't talk much on the ride back, but when we arrived home he asked if I would come over and talk.

I agreed so after he put my bags in the hallway of my place he led me over to his and up to his room, so we could have some privacy.

He sat on his bed and I sat beside him. We talked for hours, going over what had happened, how it happened. We dissected every little moment over the past couple of months.

"Bella" he said seriously after we had talked it all through, "I promise you that for as long as we live I will never ever doubt you, I am so sorry baby and I will make it up to you, I'll prove it to you."

I nodded; I didn't doubt him or a single word he said.

That night I fell asleep in his arms, feeling safe, happy and loved.

The next day

I went home for a while, since I knew that Alice and Rose would be dying to know what was going on, where Edward and I stood now. Edward smiled when I told him they would probably hunt us down and torture it out of them if I didn't fill them in.

"You know what, I think Alice has started to rub off on Jasper because he'd probably do the same" he said with a chuckle. Oh how I'd missed the sound of his laugh.

"And as much as Em would never admit it, he's just as bad."

I laughed.

That made him smile, "You have no idea how happy you laughing makes me my love" he told me reaching out to touch my cheek.

I leaned into him, soaking up his warmth.

"Don't take too long" he said.

"I won't" I told him.

"Good because I have a lot of making up to you to do, starting now" he told me kissing me softly.

I headed next door and quickly showered and changed before going down to the kitchen where Alice and Rose were now waiting. They must have gotten up since I'd arrived home.

"Are you okay?" Rose asked concerned.

I nodded a wide smile breaking out on my face, "I'm better than okay."

Alice squealed, "Tell us, tell us!"

"We worked things out" I told them, Alice's excitement was very catching, "We are going to be just fine, better than fine" I half squealed.

"Oh Bells we are so happy for you!" Rose exclaimed happily, reaching out to hug me.

After a chat with the girls, I headed back to Edward's eager to make up for lost time. Alice had said they were all going to stay at our place tonight to give us more time alone.

I packed an overnight bag, which seemed a little silly since I live right next door to him. But my reasoning was I didn't want to leave his side for another minute.

He was waiting for me, in the living room. He jumped up when I walked in and wrapped his arms around me.

"I missed you" he murmured against my neck.

"I missed you too" I replied enjoying the sensation of being in his arms once again.

We spent the afternoon trying to watch movies but really just making out and enjoying each other's company. Not that I was complaining about that, at all.

Five weeks later

Things were back to normal now, Edward and I were happier than ever together, still savouring the time we spent together, remembering what it was like to be apart.

We were all sitting in our living room, waiting for the mail. Today our results arrived, today we would find out if we were graduating in two weeks' time.

Being ever confident in their only child both Renee and Charlie had made plans to be at my graduation, with Phil and Sue by their respective sides.

Renee was beyond thrilled, one because I was graduating, which she had according to Phil been bragging about to anyone that would listen and two because I was back together with Edward.

She loved Edward.

"Mails here!" Alice screeched running into the room waving a bunch of envelopes at us.

"Gimme!" Rose yelled grabbing her envelope.

"Okay on three we all open our envelopes" Jasper instructed.

We all nodded, getting in position.

"One, two, three!" he yelled as we all tore into our envelopes.

"Oh I can't look" Alice squealed peeking through her fingers at the letter inside. "Oh oooo I passed!" she shrieked jumping up and down with excitement.

"Jazz?" she asked.

He grinned and nodded, while Alice shrieked some more.

"I passed too!" Rose piped up, clearly thrilled.

"And me" Edward beamed.

"Bella?" Alice asked, impatient.

"I did too!" I squealed.

"Oh shit I have to call Emmett" Rose announced jumping up and grabbing the phone.

We celebrated that night, dinner at a restaurant and far too many drinks in the best company anyone could ever ask for.
