A/N: Thanks for the reviews. I thought that a creepy cliff hanger was in its place, since its Halloween soon. Enjoy!
Nice one Bells!
"Hey friends! We lost you on the way, but we found you!" It was Tanya and James. Yeah obviously you found us. Everyone- besides Tanya and James- laughed and I realised I said it out loud. I giggled and threw my hand over my mouth to stop them from coming.
"Nice one Bells!" Exclaimed Emmett. I blushed but gave him a big smile. Even Esme and Carlisle couldn't hold in their laughter, and soon all of us Cullens were clutching our hurting stomachs. They were hurting because we laughed so much. Tanya huffed and glared at me. I was raised by Esme so what I said next didn't surprise anyone: "Sorry Tanya. I didn't mean to say it out loud. It was just a quick thought." I laughed again, and tried to get a hold on myself. "Yeah but you thought it!" She snapped. "That was what I just said." I snapped back. She was at a loss of words and I started laughing again. My siblings followed. "Man Bells! You're on a roll today!" Emmett practically yelled. I bowed and they cheered.
"Can we please move on?" Tanya said annoyed. I nodded. I was afraid that if I opened my mouth I would say more mean things to Tanya, and I wouldn't want to disappoint Esme with my bad behaviour. I noticed that she was wearing heels again and I couldn't help but say: "Eeeeh Tanya?" I asked. She let out an annoyed huff and turned to me. "What?!" I nodded my head towards her shoes. "Are you sure you can walk in those shoes? You might fall." She smirked and then it dawned. She was hoping she would fall, so Edward would catch her! That bitch! Mind my language. "If I fall Edward would catch me."
Edward turned white as a sheet as he realised what she was saying. "Sorry. I am only here to catch Bella." He put his arms around my waist and nuzzled his head into the crook between my shoulder and neck. I smiled and put my arm behind me, so I was nuzzling his hair. Tanya glared at us as well as James. I was getting tired of their looks. "Is there something you wanna say?" Edward asked. He must've been thinking the same as me. "Yeah actually. Edward there is. Your so called girlfriend does nothing but saying bad things about me." I could feel Edward shrug. "So what? You deserved it." Tanya gasped. "What have I done?!" She asked. I giggled. "You've glared at my girlfriend, ruined our morning and said bad things about her. So don't come to me and play innocent! I would choose Bella before you every single time!"
My heart melted as Edward stood up for me. I thought it was impossible for me to love this man more than I already did. But I just fell even more in love with him. I turned in his arms and placed a light kiss on his lips. Then Emmett boomed: "No kissing!" I blushed but smiled at Edward, who just smiled back.
Tanya let out a frustrated scream before saying: "I could be so much better for you than her. I'm smart, pretty, funny and nice! She is ugly, stupid, boring and has a bad sense in fashion!" I was hurt. Nothing else could describe the feeling. But the worst part was that she was right. Tanya wasn't the one who was supposed to be with Edward. But neither am I. I broke away from Edwards embrace, and ran as fast as my legs could carry me. I was surprised that I didn't fall one time. I could hear my family yell my name, but I didn't care. When my legs were burning from the run, I stopped and sat up against a tree.
I realized how stupid my act was. Not the part about running away from Edward. It was for his own best. On the other side I was alone in a huge dark forest and utterly and completely lost.
I heard leaves rustle and immediately thought it was some kind of animal. I was both scared and relieved to find out it was James. How did he found me? I voiced my thought and he just shrugged. Then he said something I didn't think I would ever hear him say: "Bella I am so very sorry for both my own and my sister's behaviour. I know we kind of ruined your holiday and I am sorry. I'm not sure Tanya agrees but I don't care. Can you forgive me?" I nodded glad I at least ended on good terms with James. He didn't seem so bad at all. I was still mad at his comments yesterday but he seemed really sorry.
"Could you do me a favour?" I asked him. "Of course." He replied with a smile. "Don't make Edward mad. I don't know what my plan is, but don't make him feel guilty and make sure he doesn't kill your sister." He laughed at my last statement, but promised me he would. Then he looked confused. "What do you mean about your plan?" I looked down. "I can't go back. Your sister was right. I don't belong with Edward. He deserves someone better than me. I would miss my hole family dearly, but I can't do this to them. It would tear apart their family if Edward and I couldn't get along."
"Bella you are tearing their family apart right now. Edward was screaming at Tanya when I left. Alice and Jasper went with Rose and Emmett. They were all determined to find you. Esme was crying, begging for you to come back. Come with me. Let's go back and clean this mess up." He was right I couldn't run from my problems. I would fix this. One way or another. Luckily James knew his way in the forest, so we were soon back were I left the family.
What I saw touched my heart and made me sad at the same time. Edward was on the ground, head in hands and I could see the tears stream down his face. Esme was crying at Carlisle's shoulder and I saw him cry a little bit himself. Emmett and Jasper were trying being strong for the family, while Alice and Rosalie was having breakdown. I felt my eyes spill over with fresh tears and I cleared my throat to get their attention.
Rose and Alice ran to me, as soon as they noticed me. They hugged me tight and told me to never do that again. Esme and Carlisle did the same as well as Emmett and Jasper. When they were finished Edward was still on the ground looking shocked at me. When he saw that his family was done with me, he hurried off the ground. He ran to me and pulled me into his arms. He whispered sweet nothings in my ear, while I cried. I could feel his tears on my shirt, so I wasn't the only one. When we were both calmed down he asked for an explanation. I was hesitant at first but looking into his deep green eyes made me blurt out everything.
"Tanya told me I didn't deserve you, and I believed her. I mean, I am ordinary. A real plain Jane." Edward made a move to say something, but I held up my hand signalling him to let me finish. "You are so amazing. You play the piano better than anyone. You're nice, caring, loving and the list just continue. You deserve someone better than me. Not Tanya, but someone better." Tanya started yelling at me at my last statement: "I so deserve him! It is him who doesn't deserve me!" We all looked annoyed at her last sentence. She didn't change her determined facial expression. She actually believed in what she just said.
We all ignored her as Edward turned to me. He looked… angry? "Isabella Marie Cullen! How can you believe something like that! It is I who doesn't deserve you! You are stunning, your blush is beautiful on your skin and if you decide something, no one can change your mind. You are tough on the outside, but soft on the inside. You are everything I ever wanted and I am never going to love anyone else! And that's why I want to ask you this." He got down on one knee. I gasped. "Will you marry me?"
A/N: The last thing about marriage was something I thought of in the moment I wrote it. I do think it fits though. Please review and tell me if you think the same. Peace!
