Something was wrong...
Something was very wrong...
Monday night has been amazing... Tuesday had been amazing... Wednesday had been good... Thursday had been awkward... And today has been miserable...
I bit my lip as I stared at the flashing images on the television screen. My whole family were running through the house, doing something, worrying about something, but I was too focused on Bella to listen to their thoughts.
Suddenly I felt a massive smack across the back of my head. I turned quickly to see Alice behind me, an angry look on her face, a very angry look...
I groaned, ""What Alice?"
"How could you?" she screeched, her voice higher than usual. She was definitely angry.
"I don't know what you're talking about, but I don't have time to worry about it... I need to figure out what's wrong with Bella..." I said turning around again.
Another slap filtered through my head, "You're what's wrong with Bella!" she moaned.
I turned fully to look at her, "You know what's wrong with Bella?" I asked wide eyed.
She closed her eyes and pinched the bridge of her nose in frustration.
"Edward? What is tonight?" she asked.
"Um... Friday?" I asked.
She let out a breath, "I've been going on about this for months Edward, even before Bella came..."
I shrugged, "I tend to block you out a lot Alice..." I admitted.
Her eyes flashed open and I could tell I was going to pay for that later.
"Edward the whole school has been talking about it."
"We weren't in school all week until yesterday." I reminded her, "It was sunny remember?"
"Edward, the school has been planning this for months!!" she shouted suddenly, her hands flapping in the air.
"Alice, just tell me." I moaned.
"PROM!" she yelled.
Prom.
"Prom..." I whispered.
She put her hands over her face, "Yes, Prom..." she said, her voice muffled because of her hands, "Prom, Edward... You know that dance that happens, the one everyone goes on about?"
I sighed, "I'm a guy Alice, I don't think about Prom 24 hours a day..."
"Whatever." She said pulling her face up again.
My shoulders slumped, "But we're just back after Spring Break!"
Her fingers curled, "Edward. Spring Break was in early April, yes?"
"Yes." I agreed, biting my lip.
"Right, it's been a week since then, yes?"
"Yes." I agreed again, biting harder.
"And prom in Forks is held just before the end of April... So that would mean?"
"Prom is t-"
"TONIGHT! You dumbass!"
"So that's what's wrong with Bella?" I asked.
She nodded hurriedly, "Edward it's every girls dream to go to Prom!"
The guilt began to settle in my stomach, "But I didn't realise! I was too busy worrying about what was worrying her to notice that you guys have been getting ready for Prom for the last few days!"
I stood up and watched in horror as Esme walked up the stairs with a dress in her hands and then Emmett came round the corner trying to do his tie.
Had this been going on around me for that long?
"How long has this been going on?" I asked, my eyes still on Emmett as he wrestled with the tie.
"For the past few days... And you've been blind to it!... Bella hasn't though..." she said quietly.
"What does she think of me?" I asked, "She must think I-"
"You don't want to take her to Prom because you don't want everyone to know you guys are together..." Alice said.
I looked at her, my eyes wide and my mouth hanging open, "She told you that?" I asked incredulously.
Alice nodded, "We had a heart to heart... And that's what she thinks..."
"But!" I shook my head, "I don't think that! I'm proud that we're together! I want to tell the world!"
"I know that..." Alice trailed off.
"And so will she..." I said walking up and down the living room, I turned towards Alice, "Alice, I need tickets to Prom, a dress for Bella and a tux for me."
"Done." She said simply.
"What?" I asked.
She smiled, "I saw it coming remember?" she said placing a finger to her temple.
"You knew?"
She nodded.
"And you still slapped me over the head? And shouted at me?"
"Edward." She said calmly, "Certain things need to be done to get results... If you take a shortcut, it will go wrong."
I shook my head, "Just get Bella to Prom and d-"
"Don't tell her you're coming." She finished with a smile, "Your ticket is in your room... And your tux is in your wardrobe."
"Where's Bella?" I looked around.
"Hunting." She answered simply.
I nodded and we both looked back at Emmett, who was still trying to fix his tie. His brows were furrowed as if it was the most difficult task in the world. Alice and I smiled and began walking up the stairs to get ready.
I walked in to the large hall slowly, keeping my eyes peeled for Bella. I spotted her suddenly, standing in the corner, beside the seats.
She wouldn't dance. Alice told me.
I nodded and began to walk towards her slowly.
She had her eyes on the floor and a sad expression on her beautiful face. I felt so guilty... But I would make it up to her...
I took the time to look at her as I walked across the long room. Her dress was gorgeous, and so was she. She was wearing a pale coloured dress, it was plain and simple, and so Bella. It was perfect... Her hair was up in a messy bun, with curls falling around her shoulders and her make-up was subtle but beautiful. She was so stunning, she took my breath away...
I walked over to her and she raised her eyes to the noise of my feet. Her framed eyes widened in shock as she saw me and I smiled timidly.
"W-What are you doing here?" she asked as I reached her.
"Well, I could ask you the same thing." I laughed gently.
"Alice dragged me here." She mumbled.
"Under my instructions..."
"What?"
"Bella." I took her hands in mine as I spoke, "I didn't know about Prom."
She looked at me with a disbelievingly expression.
"Honestly," I continued, "I spent all week worrying about you... Why you were so off with me... I never realised about Prom until Alice told me tonight..."
"Oh." She whispered, "I thought that..." she trailed off.
"I know what you thought." I said, hurt, "How could you think that I wouldn't want everyone to know we're together... Bella you're the best thing that ever happened to me!" I laughed.
Her face turned gentle, "Really?"
"Really." I said, "And I'll prove it to you..."
"What are you doing?" she asked as I pulled her towards the dance floor.
I smiled and continued to pull her. People were watching us from the corner of their eye as they danced.
We got to the middle of the dance floor and I pulled Bella close suddenly and kissed her fiercely.
She gasped and responded automatically, pulling her hands from mine and wrapping them around my neck.
Knew Cullen would have her.
Damn!
Why do the Cullen's always get the nice girls?
I. Hate. Edward. Cullen.
I pulled back from her as I laughed at everyone's thoughts. I smiled down at her and she smiled back, trying to catch her breath.
I laid my forehead against hers and looked into her eyes for a long moment. I bent down and kissed her again, taking the breath from her once more. Our lips moved perfect time, giving what the other was taking.
I pulled back and wrapped my arms around her waist, I began to move to the soft music that was now playing and she moved with me, neither of us speaking a word.
Her head rested on my chest and I closed my eyes as I held her.
I'm happy it worked out. Alice's thoughts filtered through to me and I opened my eyes look at her.
She was dancing with Jasper, her smiling eyes on me and Bella.
I smiled at her in thanks.
Don't mention it. She laughed.
Alice was wearing a light pink dress that had diamonds clustering down it, it was so typically Alice...
Rose was dancing with Emmett, both their thoughts on how gorgeous each other looked. Rose was wearing a fuchsia gown, that was tight around her body, unlike Alice's princess dress.
I smiled at my family and bent my head down to whisper in Bella's ear, "Are you enjoying yourself?"
She smiled, "Now that your here..."
I hugged her tighter and placed a soft kiss on her cheek, before continuing to dance once more.
Hope you guys liked it! In truth this chapter was supposed to be longer, but I decided to split this chapter and the next chapter in two so that the story would last longer! Haha.
