It's been a year since Victoria had died and James had been arrested, and everything was for the better. It was my senior year in high school, and I was so glad for that fact. I couldn't help but smile. I had been living with the Cullen's, since they wouldn't accept for me to live anywhere else. I was perfectly fine with that fact, especially since I was able to live with my boyfriend. We all loved each other just as a family, something that I hadn't been a part of for the last 12 years. I was always grateful for the fact that I didn't have to wake up with the fear of being beaten that day as James was in prison for the next 95 years, since he was charged with three counts of first degree murder and child abuse. I was just glad that I didn't have to worry about that anymore.
"Bella," Emmett yelled as soon as he saw me. I smiled at him in dressed up slacks and shirt. Today, Alice, Edward and I were going to graduate. Jasper, Rosalie and Emmett had graduated last year, and we all were going to the same college, just so we'd be able to stick together as a family. Esme and Carlisle were going to come live close to the college, as Esme couldn't stand losing all her children, as she liked to call me and the others, at once. Carlisle was able to get a better job out of it too.
"What are you thinking about," Edward questioned as he wrapped his arms around me, and my smile grew.
"Just spacing out," I stated.
"As usual," Rosalie smirked. I was known for it. They used to worry about me spacing out so much, but now, they know that it's harmless.
"Well, you better not space out on stage, especially with those killer shoes," Emmett joked. It was also known that I was clumsy. Carlisle has had to help be because of my ankle plenty of times, all because of Alice.
"She'll be fine!" That's what Alice always says whenever she gets me to wear heels. We all just roll our eyes.
"Alright, ladies and gentlemen," our science teacher yelled as he came over. "Get in line for the march!" We all went to our places, and Edward blew me a kiss, which I blushed at, as I walked towards the S's. I took my spot, and I waited to march across the stage. It didn't take long before we all were making it across, and soon it came.
"Isabella Swan," the principal announced.
"GO BELLA," I heard Emmett and Jacob yell from where I was standing. There were whistles from them, and I couldn't stop the blush, even if I wanted to. We listened to all of the speakers, and what they had to say, and soon, it was our time to throw our hats. I screamed with joy at finally being able to get out of this town, with my family.
"Bella," I heard, and I turned around just in time for Alice to grab me into a hug. "We made it!"
"Yeah, we did," I smiled. I watched as Edward came over my way, and I felt Alice disconnect. I walked over to where he was, and I of course tripped.
"You know," Edward smirked as soon as he caught me. "I'm starting to get used to always catching you."
"Is it a bad thing," I inquired. His crooked smile appeared, and it felt like my breath went away.
"Never," he whispered as he leaned his head down, to capture my lips in a passionate kiss.
