Chapter 21

Do you?

Edwards pov:

When she screamed my name and opened those chocolate eyes, my life was once again complete. Our family were overjoyed and everyone couldn't be happier, Jasper was practically bouncing. That was until she told us she wasn't coming home. Again the tiny fragments of my heart shattered even more. I left that room and told the still ecstatic Carlisle I planned on leaving still, he agreed and gave me his car keys. I drove away as fast as I could. I had no specific destination until I was boarding Alaska, so maybe a visit to old friends won't be a bad thing, even if it is Tanya.

Have I done the right thing by not biting her? Surly the venom hurts less than this gaping whole in my chest. I didn't want to take her life away from her. But when she way lying in my arms bleeding and dying her heart stopping I would have there and then, if it wasn't for the doctors ripping her from me. I was that close to changing her, why couldn't I do that now? Make that decision, make her forever mine. I was begging my sanity to give me a reason why I shouldn't turn back now and create a beautiful monster.

The snow got heavier as I drove and as predicted, Alice phoned to tell them of my arrival and I was welcomed with open arms. I talked through our current situation and Bella's current condition and they all listen intently. Eleazar of course aired his worries just like he had done all those years ago, Tanya had removed herself from this conversation, she was insanely jealous of my love for a human girl. Bella was undoubtedly loved by this coven and their concern reminded me to much of home. I left to hunt and Tanya tagged along. I had on numerous occasions told her that I wasn't interested but she did would not give up hope. She was good company when her thoughts were in the right place and she was very easy to talk to.

"So these wolves huh? Much trouble?" They have the love of my life and worst of it, it's all my fault. I pushed her to half-breed pups.

"They keep their distance and we keep ours, but there is always that possibility" I answered not really paying much attention.

"Why don't you go to the Volturi and have them removed? " She has her heart in the right place.

"Bella, I won't have them near her, that's the reason she left. Somehow they found out about her, but she left us before that could happen and anyway the wolves are just unlucky kids. Not all of them are a problem, just one" I recapped Tanya on the missed conversation.

"She left you? Stupid girl." I bit my lip to avoid growling at her, she missed that it's just the one wolf I strongly dislike. My appetite had died due to this conversation. I returned home thinking, not before I phoned Alice asking for her guidance and what she told me just confirmed my thoughts.

Right now Bella was leaving hospital straight into the arms of that waiting mutt. Her scent was back to its intoxicating perfection whilst she was in the hospital, now it would be once again coated in dog. Jacob's thoughts of his love for her were strong; it would only be a matter of time before she felt the same way for him. In some bizarre world I felt this was meant to happen. Something Carlisle said to me when Bella was first part of our family, something along the lines of she was born to be a Cullen. Rose called her my soul mate, what if I do, by some miracle, still have a battered excuse of a soul and it did belong to her, as she belongs to me. She was the perfect match for me and I could not imagine her any other way, simply mine. Say her parents did survive that accident; Jacob would be part of her life. Maybe he is always meant to be part of her life in the same way I am meant to be? She was born a Swan to become a Cullen, it just happened sooner than if her real parents lived.

I knew what to do, how to make things right how to have my Bella back. I got straight back into car and drove straight to Forks.

To my future.

Bella's pov:

My happiness was temporary, back at the Black's was even lonelier than my coma state, at least he was there. I have to get over him, he doesn't want me. Billy was out with the Clearwater's and Jacob was out patrolling the woods. I was in pain when I walked, I was in pain sat and I was in pain when laid down. The pack had allowed my dad over the boarder at certain times to check on me, such a big step up for Sam. Maybe I could go for a walk, first beach wasn't too far. My life was boring and I've only been home for a few hours. How could I spice my life up? Maybe indulge in cliff diving; the La Push boys love it but I don't think that would go down well with my family, Edward would kill me or himself if anything happened to me. There I go again Edward dreaming.
I'll walk to the beach, through the trees; hopefully I'll bump in to Jacob's furry butt and I can explain my disappearance, but I'll leave a note anyway. I was writing when my phone started buzzing and I jumped a mile.

"Hello Alice" Thank god for caller ID.

"HEY!! What you doing?" She can't see me and this annoys her. I muffled a giggle.

"Just about to go for a walk, why? I really can't be bothered to shop" I moaned being Alice it would be a too-girly-for-Bella activity

.
"No meet me by the border, near the main road by La Push and you'll know what to do. See ya" What was that? Stupid hyper-short-ass and her riddles.

I left my note and headed out. What was Alice on about? I'll know what to do? To do? Won't she be there? I tried ringing her countless times, no answer. I'm going to kill her or well let's be honest die trying. I got to the boarder and I saw what she meant, there were fairy lights leading into the woods, it looked like a sparkly garden path. There were red roses on the ground I was walking. What was Alice doing? I hope I don't walk in on her and Jasper. Vampire sex no, no. I was scared for life when I caught Rose and Emmet at it and was explained the birds and the Bees.
The path carried on until I was completely surrounded by lights and roses.

"Alice? What are you doing?!" I laughed nervously. It didn't help that I heard her giggle on the wind.

"Bella" I turned to the voice and it wasn't the person I was expecting. My heart stopped as did my breathing.

"Edward" Was all I managed to daze out. He was smiling that smile at me and was wearing the same black tux in my dreams, even had the red rose in his pocket. The lights shone so brightly I would've missed the angry wolves just behind the boarder until their snarls gave them away. Even Alice was oblivious to me until she danced past. Edward was in front me holding my back and my hand as though we were dancing, he slowly leaned his head to my year.

"I have loved everyday of your existence and will love you more everyday of your natural life and what ever afterlife you chose. I could try to live without you but that would no life. I want you, no I need you. I offer you my soul and my everything so.."

I was stood there shocked and on the brink of crying when his hand left my back and he stepped back, I was about to protest when he fell to one knee.

"Isabella Marie Swan will you marry me?"

WHAT WILL SHE SAY?? OOOM!!
