(Bella's POV)

I was in shock. Jasper, asking me to marry him? Was I even ready to be married?

I had been with Jasper for the last ten years, but, marrying him?

I looked down at him. He looked back at me hopefully.

I didn't know what to say. So, I thought about why I loved him so much. He was always there for me, he never left me, and he knew me better than I knew myself. And whenever I wasn't with him, I felt like shit...

That's when I knew my answer.

"Of course I'll marry you, Jasper!"

Jasper slid the ring onto my finger and stood up. Then he pulled me into his arms and kissed me more passionately than he ever had in the time that we'd been dating.

I broke the kiss and smiled up at him. "I love you."

He stroked my hair and planted a kiss on my head. "I love you, too."

Just then, Alice came running into our room and hugged both of us. "I had a vision!" She let go of us and jumped up and down and clapped happily. "You'll let me plan the wedding, won't you?" She gave me the puppy dog eyes.

I laughed. "Of course you can, Alice."

She hugged me again and ran out of the room saying, "I need to start planning!"

Jasper laughed and pulled me back into his arms. "I wonder how Max stands it."

"Stands what?" I asked, snuggling into his shoulder.

"Alice's major ADHD."

I laughed. "Who knows. But at least she found someone. But he's human..." I didn't have anything against Max for that, but I worried about whether Alice could handle being with a human. The only other person she'd been with had been Jasper, and he was a vampire.

"She'll be careful," Jasper reassured me.

I smiled. "You're right."

"I'm always right."

I rolled my eyes but didn't say anything.

I never thought I would ever get married. After what happened with Charlie and Renee, I vowed to myself never to let it happen to me.

But it was different with Jasper. I loved him too much to not want to marry him. I smiled at the thought of being engaged to him now.

"You're happy." He commented.

I pulled back to smile at him. "How can I not be? I'm getting married to you!" I was still trying to get used to the idea, but the more I thought about it, the more excited I got.

He didn't say anything. He just leaned down and kissed me.

It was a brief kiss, but it still made me go weak in the knees.

Jasper stopped me from falling. He laughed softly. "Careful."

I was still trying to get over being dazzled once again. Even when I'm a vampire, Jasper could still dazzle me.

"Bella? Are you okay?"

I snapped out of my trance. "Yeah. I'm fine."

"What're you thinking about?"

"How excited and happy I am about the wedding. And how much I love you."

"Funny. That's what I was thinking too."

Hours later, we found ourselves sitting on the leather couch, holding hands.

I rested my head on Jasper's shoulder. "Should I take the ring off for school?"

"Yeah. I guess."

"Well, at least I still have my guitar pick." I fingered the guitar pick around my neck. I never took it off, haven't in the ten years since Jasper gave it to me.

"Has it been giving you good luck?" He asked.

"It gave me the one thing I wanted most."

"What's that?"

I looked up at him. "Eternity with you."

If Jasper could've, he would've been blushing like crazy.

I could feel the weak morning sun's rays hit my back as dawn came.

I stood up. "I should probably go shower and wash this makeup off." I walked into the bathroom to take a quick shower.

The temporary red dye washed out, leaving me with my old brown hair.

After I stepped out of the shower, I stood in my walk-in closet, trying to decide what to wear.

I decided on a pair of skinny jeans, a Bad Religion shirt, and one of Jasper's hoodies.

I was too lazy to blow dry my hair so I just let it air dry as I walked downstairs to the living room.

I saw Jasper sitting on the couch noodling on one of his guitars. He looked up when I entered the room and broke into a grin.

I grinned back and sat next to him. "Keep playing," I demanded as I rested my head on his shoulder.

He laughed. "Ok." He kept noodling.

"Ever think about being in a band?" I asked.

He shrugged. "It would be difficult to tour if we were in a sunny state."

That's right. I knew that the one thing Jasper wanted more than anything was to go to the Warped Tour, just once. But it was always sunny wherever you went. It was as summer tour. He had never been able to go...

I changed the subject. "So I see you're back to being blond." He had taken a shower and changed. So now he was wearing his usual skinny jeans and band shirt with his honey blond hair still damp.

"Yep."

"I like you better blond."

He stopped playing and turned to smile at me. "And I like you better as a brunette."

We'd been sitting there longer than I realized because before we knew it, Esme was yelling, "Everyone get ready for school or you'll be late!"

Jasper and I stood up and went to our room to finish getting ready.


(Alice's POV)

To wear? Or not to wear? That is the question. I stood in front of my mirror with a shirt in both hands, holding each up to see which one looked best.

I couldn't decide and I wanted to look absolutely perfect today. "Bella!" I called.

She was standing in my doorway in a split second. "What is it, Alice?"

"Which shirt should I wear?" I held both up.

She looked at both and thought. "I say, that one." She was pointing to the black My Chemical Romance shirt I was holding in my right hand.

She continued, "If you wear that with your purple skinny jeans and Converse, that would look totally awesome!"

I smiled. "Thanks Bella."

"No problem." She disappeared and I changed my outfit before styling my hair and reapplying my makeup, no black lipstick, just lip gloss.

I grabbed my backpack and then rushed downstairs. Jasper and Bella were already there. We were just waiting for Rose and Emmett.

Bella smiled. "You look great, Alice!"

"Thanks."

Emmett and Rosalie joined the group a few minutes later.

"Which car are we taking?" Bella asked.

"My jeep," Emmett replied.

We all piled into Emmett's jeep and he sped to school. I was excited to see Max today.


A/N: K, so this chapter wasn't as great as I would've liked it to be. But hopefully you like it!
