This is a story from my wild imagination that uses the awesome characters from Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn. Stephanie Meyer owns The Twilight Saga and all its true glory.
CHAPTER 17: Hidden Wounds excerpt
"I think I'm a lot like one if the students in Freedom Writers, you know; Gloria. She's the one who wrote 'If you look in my eyes, you'll see a lonely girl. If you like at my smile, you'll see nothing wrong. If you pull up my shirt, you'll see the bruises. What did I do to make him so mad?' Only that for me instead of bruises its scars.
"Bella…" I said, but couldn't continue, nothing I said would prove her wrong; at least not at the moment, but I would prove her wrong, one day soon.
CHAPTER 18: Engagement
Edward's POV
I made sure Bella didn't turn onto her back all night, which wasn't very hard because she ended up asking me to get closer to her and keep her warm.
I was thinking about changing her, and the pain it would cause her, and I knew her scars would leave her but, I didn't want them to. I looked at those scars all night. I knew I would have to ask her permission to beat the fuck out of James; I wanted to make it so that you couldn't see his back, so that his entire back was full of scars. So that he knew that Bella had someone who not only loved her but also her scars and her past.
She began to stir but turned into my chest and just snuggled into my shirt more. "Bella," I chuckled, "come on it's time to wake up, we have school today," I said as I gently tried to wake her
"No, five more minutes, please" she said as she looked up at me with her chocolate brown puppy dog eyes.
But I turned my head from the sight because I knew that if I made eye contact I would give in, "No, come on, I'll help you up."
She finally got up and went to take a shower as I went to change and make her breakfast, she came down the stairs with Alice and Rose.
"Do we have to go back to school already?" she asked sleepily
"If you want to graduate with our class then we do." I said as I gave her forehead a kiss
When we got home from school that Friday I decided to take Bella to a clearing where I always went to think.
I carried her on my back and she held on tightly. When we arrived I set her down gently. I noticed she was already to get new bruises.
She saw me looking and said, "That's been happening more,"
"I've noticed," I said as I went over to a tree and hung my shirt there, then I went into the sun and I tuned towards Bella. We were always together now. I had gotten my schedule changed to mirror hers and only left her when we had to shower or she had to go to the rest room.
"Edward, will you change me?" she asked pleadingly.
I looked into her eyes and smiled my crooked smile, "With one condition," I got on one knee and continued, "Isabella Swan, will you marry me?"
She stared at me and tears began to fall from her eyes, but a huge smile was on her face as she whispered, "Yes."
I put my mother's ring on her finger and got up. I gave her a kiss which started slow and gentle. It quickly rose to something more intense and urgent. I pulled away and chuckled at our ragged breathing. (link to a picture of the ring is on my profile)
"Come on the others will be waiting to see what you said, Alice promised not to look," I said as I picked her up bridal style.
When we arrived at the house we went in only to find everyone in a weird mood. I looked into their minds but they blocked their thoughts. I let it go and announced our engagement. We were quickly swallowed in hugs. Bella being barely squeezed as they knew that anything made her get huge bruises now.
We celebrated and when Bella began to get tired I carried her up to her room and lay with her while she slept.
We have bad news but enjoy the moment. We'll talk about the situation tomorrow. Carlisle thought mostly for my befit.
I replayed the moment in my head all night, while I watched her sleep. She talked about strawberries again.
