This year passed very fast. I made up with Alice and everything was alright. I still havent told Edward about the tour.I wanted to tell him on my birthday. I didnt then I said after Christmas. didnt happen and now today is the day I am graduating and I havent told him. If I do go I would be gone in four day's. I knew this was a oppurtunity that I should take. But I couldnt do this to my love. I was going to tell him tonight for sure. Everyone was going to be staying at Esme and Carlisle's. I told Esme about the tour and Charlie. Edward knew something was wrong, but I refused to tell him. It was a whole year without seeing him
I wanted to go so bad.
Currently I am sitting waiting to approach the stage. I am the valedictorian so I have to make a speech.
" And here is Isabella Swan the Valedictorian." The principle said. I took a deep breathe and stepped onto the stage
I went up to the mic and looked at all the people.
" Normally the valedictorian would say that our life is just starting but its not tecniclly true.
Our life started eighteen years ago and now we are here in our caps and gowns getting out diploma. About four years ago you guys were worrying about where to sit at lunch and now we are wondering where are we going to go to college and what job is the best for have out teachers to thank for helping us acheive the goal of graduating and the counselour who we dumped our problems on because we were scared." I paued and everyone laughed " A new chapter in our book will be starting but not the end. We are going to get a job and get married and take chances that we are waiting to take and its going to be exciting. I have only been here for two years. Freshmen and now. But it was an oppurtunity I wanted to take and I will never regret it. I have made friends, something I thought I would never make because, I already started my career. So here we are and now we are ready to take our chances. Try new things. I thank you all my fellow classmates and teachers." I walked off the stage and everybody was screaming and clapping. I started laughing.
The principle stood up.
" And now I present the class of 2008." Everybody threw their hat up.
Everyone cheered. I felt two arm encircle my waist. I turned around and saw Edward. I leaned up and kissed him.
" Congratulations." He mummled against my lips.
"You too." I said
I heard Alice in the distance "AAHHHH. We made it." She yelled. We all laughed. Emmett and Rose came towards us. We all gave eachother a hug.
We reached are parents and were bombarded by 'Congratulations'.
" So lets take this over to my house." Alice said.
We all headed over to the Cullens. They ordered food like Pizza, Chinese.
__________________
We all settled down after eating. We just talked and laughed.
" Alice remember when you panst Emmett in freshmen year." Jasper said.
" Yeah." Emmett pouted
I couldnt share the memories of sophmore and junior year with them. Only freshmen and Senior.
The words tell him were nagging at me. I decided to tell everyone here and now.
" I have an announcment to make." I said. Charie and Esme looked at me.
" Go ahead Bella." Carlisle encouraged.
" At the end of August I got a call. They want me and the Blue Tide crew to tour in Europe. I am sorry I didnt say anything earlier, If I chose to go I will be leaving in four days and I wont be back for a year." I told them. I heard someone stand up. I turned and saw Edward. He had tears in his eyes and he ran out of the room.
" Edward wait." I went after him. He darted up the stairs. I couldnt run considering I had black stilletos. I heard his door slam. I walked through the hallway to his door.
He didnt bother locking it. I opened it.
" Im sorry I didnt tell you. I couldnt hurt you but I already did. I wont go I'll stay with you." I said.
He looked at me. " No" He said simply
" No?" I said as a question.
He wiped his tears " I cant let you give up your dream for me. I am not worth it." He said
Not worth it? oh was he wrong.
" Edward. Thast not true. You mean the world to me, your the center of my universe as cheesy as it may sound. I love you and I want to be with you forever its all I dream about." I said my own tears falling down my cheeks.
" I feel the exact same. But I want you to go. I'll be here waiting, I dont want anyone but you." He said. I ran into his arms. He wrapped my arms around me.
" You want me to go?" I asked
" Bella. I will wait for you. Its not like I wont talk to you. I'll call you everytime you are free and when you come back. I will be waiting for you with open arms. If you accept something." He said
" What?" I asked. He took my hand and motioned for me to sit on my bed. He opened a drawer. He took out a small black velvet box.
He turned to me. He opened the box relealing a ring.I gasped. It had five emerald's going into a half circular shape and it had four diamonds. The band was gold. It was gorgeous.(ring in profile. It's gorgeous). I just stared at it
" This is a promise ring. It going to hold two promises. One- I will be waiting for you when you come back and two - I will marry you when you come back this will be replaced with and engagement ring." He said
I nodded and he slid the ring on my finger. He leaned in and kissed me. I kissed him back and wrapped my arms around his neck. He wrapped his around my waist. I leaned back. But then he pulled away.
" Not now. Come on." He grabbed my hand and we walked back down the stairs.
I went back to the family room and everyone looked at us.
" Well I am going on the tour." I told them.I felt two small arms wrap around me.
" I am going to miss you so much." She said.
" I'll miss you too Pix." I joked at her name.
She smiled " I'll let you pass for that one."
Everyone gave me a hug.
___________________________
Dinner rolled around and we decided to go out to Red Lobster. Just Em, Jazz, Rose Ali, Edward and I.
Edward and I took his Volvo. While the rest took Alice's Porche.
" So..." I said
" Are you excited?" he asked
" I am, But I am also not excited." I said
" Why?" he asked
I sighed " I'm really going to miss you." I said truthfully.
" As I said I'll be right here waiting for you. I actually have some news also." He told me.
" Shoot."
" Well. As you know I got accepted to some great colleges, Alaska, Cornell, Dartmouth and so on. Yesterday I got an acceptance to NYU. I have always wanted to go there. So while you are away, I will be studying medicine." He said happily.
I smiled at him " Thats great." I told him.
"Whats wrong?" he asked. He knew me to well.
" Just sometimes I wish I wasnt famous. You know? Just so I could go with you." I said
He sighed. " I wish that also. But it's going to be alright." He grabed my hand and held it through the rest of the ride.
When we got there everyone was all seated. I sat down and looked over the menu.
" Oh my god your Isabella Swan." The waitor said.
" Yes and if you start a riot and everyone see's me your dead." I commented. He frowned
He took everyones order. I got a cup of New England clam chowder it has always been a favorite of mine. As meal I got Calamari with marinara sauce. Alice, Rose and Jasper got Lobster. Edward got a shrimp salad and Emmett got snow crab.
" Salad, Come on Eddie what are you a girl." Emmett said.
" Well sorry but I dont want something so exclusive." Edward said sarcasticly
I laughed. I put a hand on his knee. " It's alright." I told him. We talked about our future. Alice was going to Design school. Jasper said he wanted to be a lawyer. Rose said she wanted to work at a adoptive agency where they take care of children. Emmett just laughed when we asked him. Edward obviously said Doctor.
" So Bella if you didnt have a career of fame what would you want to do." Alice asked
"Well. I would love to just go to New York at work at Times newspaper. I love to write. That was my original plan before singing." I said. They all stared at me.
" What?" I asked
" Do you like singing." Rose blurted out. She covered her mouth. " You dont have to answer that." She finished
" No I will. It's just sometimes, I want to be like you guys go to college have a job get married have kids. I can have kids and get married. But college It would be so hard to study with the press all over me. I would have to go in hiding or something. I do love singing, Its my passion. But yes sometimes I do wish I wasnt famous." I said truthfully
" Oh" said Rose.
" Dont be afraid to ask guys seriously we are best friends." I said. I traced circles on Edward's knee.
The waitor came and set our food down. He winked at me and Edward put his arm around my shoulder. He stared the waitor down. The waitor left instantly.
Everyone laughed "Thats why I love you." I kissed his temple and he relaxed.
We ate in comfortable silence.
After we ate I insisted on paying the bill. Edward fought with me. But I told him that I am leaving soon and he had to make me happy that made him turn to mush.
We all decided we were going to stay over at Edwards and Alice house for a sleepover.
Edward and I stopped at my house first to get clothes. I walked intomy room and chucked my heels on the floor. Edward chuckled
" They hurt." I whined. I layed on my bed. Edward sat at the end and started to massage my feet.
" That feels amazing." I told him. I groaned.
He continued to massage my foot. He then went to my ankle.
" You should be a massage therapist." Then I thought about it "Scratch that. I dont want you massaging anyone but me." I finished. He laughed.
He stopped the massage and crawled up to the bed beside me. I pecked his lips.
" I love you babe." I told him.
" I love you also, Love," He responded.
I got up and went to my closet. I grabbed my small dark blue bag and put some clothes in. I grabbed a pair of black shorts and a white tanktop for pajamas and a pair of jeans and a fitted black long sleeve shirt. I slipped out of my dark blue dress and put on jeans I was about to put my red racerback on when Edward walked in my closet I only had a bra on my top half
" Uhh Edward?."
" Sorry.I uhh sorry." He said. But he didnt leave. He was frozen in spot.
" Babe. Are you okay?" I asked warily.
He walked up to me and wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed me. I kissed him back. He started walking backwards out of the closet.
" Babe as much as I want to continue this love fest. Alice will kill me if we are not there in fifteen minutes." I said. He pulled back
" Fine but get a shirt on please." he asked
" No Edward I was going to walk out of the house like this." I rolled my eyes.
I got my clothes on and a pair of socks and converse shoes.
_________
We got to there house and walked in the family room. I saw four bowls of popcorn a twelve pack of coke, three bags of chips and two bags of pretzels. There were blankets on the floor everywhere along with pillows and piles of movies.
Everyone was told to get there pajamas on
" Alright get comfy find your spot." Alice shouted. Everyone got there okace before me and Edward of course. Edward and I went and layed the the left of Alice and Jasper then Em and Rose were on there right all cuddled up. Edward sat with his back against the couch and a pillow and I laid between his legs and my back against his chest and my head on his shoulder. He put his arms around my waist his hands resting on my stomach.
We watched a number of movies.
The Dark Night
Disturbia
Pirates of the Caribbean 1-3
Five movies and it was three in the morning
Everyone was sleeping exept Edward and I.
" Want to go in my room?" He asked. I nodded.
He picked me up and I giggled.
" You didnt have to but thank you." I kissed his lips sweetly. He continued walking up the stairs and he kissed me.
He pulled away after he laid me on the bed. He took his shirt off.
" What are you doing Mr. Cullen?" I asked him.
" Well Miss. Swan I cant sleep with a shirt on." He told me.
I laughed. But instantly covered my mouth I didnt want to wake Carlisle and Esme.
"What?" he asked
" I dont want to wake your parents." I whispered.
He laughed " Sound proff they cant hear anything. I could blast music and they wouldnt hear a whisper." He said. I nodded. I crawled under the covers and Edward got into his bed next to me. He wrapped his arms around my waist pulling me closer he placed kisses up and down my neck. I giggled. He leaned up and pressed his lips to mine. I kissed back eagerly. He deepened the kiss.
(a/n: Yeah you can probably guess that they had ahh... I am shy so I am embarrased to say that they uhh... Okay you know what they did.)
____________________________________________________________________________
I woke up and the sun was shining in my face. I looked down and the comforter was twisted around me. Edward's head was laying on my stomach and his sheets were over his body I smiled, I heard someone knock on his door. Crap.
" Bella?" I heard Rose ask
" Yes." I said
" Why is the door locked?" she asked.
I got up really fast being carefully of Edward's head on my stomach. Then got dressed.
" No reason." I said.
I ran my fingers through my hair. I put the comforter over Edward. I ran to the door and opened it.
" Sorry" I said.
" Oh. Sleep well?" she asked
" Yeah." I said with a smile.
" Wel since Carlisle, Emmett, Jasper and obviously Edward are still sleeping Esme was going to cook breakfast come on." She grabbed my hand and we walked downstairs.
I saw Esme at the stove and Alice just chattering away.
" Good morning."I said
" Looking chipper this morning are we Bella." Esme commented
We all sat down.
" Bella you are positively glowing." Alice said
I blushed
" She's blushing." Rose said
" Whats going on sweetheart?" Esme asked
Oh god thats his mom.
" Nothing. Nothing is going on. Does it seem like somethings going on because really everything is great. Just spactacular." I said really fast
" Okay Bella spill?" Rose said
" Nothing to spill." I said.
She sighed " Do we have to tickle it out of you." Alice asked
" No" I said
" So Bella why werent you with us when I woke up?" Rose questioned.
" I couldnt sleep on the floor. So Edward and I went to his room and slept." I said
" Why did it take you a couple of minutes after I asked you why was the door locked?" she asked
Oh god they are on to me.
" I tripped." I said simply
She sighed " Why was the door locked?" she questioned
What do I say.
" I uhh. Umm" I said incoherantly
Esme, Rose and Alice just stared at me.
" What did you and my son doing last night Bella?" Esme asked
" Nothing." I squeeked. Damn.
Rose looked at me " Did you and Edward do what I think you did?" She asked
" NO" I yelled as I jumped up.
Alice smiled " You totally did. If you didnt you would of said what." Alice said
Damn it they always catch me.
" Uhh okay fine yes. Happy. Now I am embarassed for life." I comlained
" Innocent Bella not so innocent anymore." Rose said
I groaned.
I heard people coming down the stairs. All the guys appeared.I felt two arms encircle my waist.
" HE'S GLOWING TOO." Alice shouted the same time Emmett said
"SHE'S GLOWING TOO."
I groaned
" So whats for breakfast?" Edward and I said at the same time. I slapped my forehead.
" So Bella?" Emmett started
" Dont wanna hear it." I said
" Aww our not so innocent Bella is . And Eddie is blushing." He said.
