Hey again! Hows everyone's easter break going? XD So, here's chapter 13! Hope ya'll enjoy!

Well, read on!

I might not die, I might not live, but if I did die…

I'm satisfied by what I lived through.

With that thought, I prepared myself for whatever was about to come my way…

BPOV

I knew I wasn't dead…yet. Death could not be this painful. Death was supposed to be numb, and just painless. But what I was feeling from the side of my body was beyond pain…it was agony.

I don't know how much time had passed since the incident, but I knew I was on the verge of dying one second, and the next searing pain ripped through my waist. This was torture. I had tried to cry out many times and hope someone, anyone, would hear my pleas and just end this.

But as usual, my requests were ignored.

After an immeasurable period of time, I started to feel my body and my mouth, which now gave me, will to speak, yet I was still too weak to even quiver them. Also, my eyes still remained closed no matter how hard I try to open them. But as more time passed, the pain diminished until I couldn't feel it anymore.

While I remained immobile, a few things ran threw my mind.

What was going to happen to me?

What had happened?

Was everyone alright?

Was…Edward ok?

Everything got clearer and clearer by the second. I was now able to distinguish that their was someone beside me, holding my hand, and that I was on a very comfortable bed. By the smell of things, I was at the Cullen household, and I could smell the venom that had been leaking from my wound wasn't there anymore. And I could also tell that…the side of my body was repaired?

I didn't feel the hole anymore, and I definitely felt less weak then what I had been.

Suddenly, whoever was beside me holding my hand moved somewhere, still holding my hand, and laid down beside me. After about a few more minutes, my smelling senses got better, and I could tell who was beside me. Edward.

I smiled to myself mentally out of happiness, and snuggled closer to him. He gasped quietly, but then wrapped his arms around me, and leaned his forehead against mine. Although I still couldn't open my eyes, I was able to move.

His hand reached up to my face and slid my hair out of my eyes, then rubbed my cheek, caressing my face, sending shivers throughout my whole body.

Finally able to open my eyes, I slowly opened them and was met by my favorite pair of topaz eyes. I smiled widely at him, which caused a smile to appear on his face as well. His eyes softened, and I immediately recognized the emotion in his eyes I hadn't been able to before.

Love. Perhaps more powerful.

"…is your leg and arm okay?" I asked. I didn't want to ruin the moment, but I was worried. His eyes softened even more, if that was powerful, and nodded.

"As long as you're here, I'll always be okay. Even more than okay." He smiled my favorite crooked smile, kissed my cheek, sending enjoyable warmth through my body. I chuckled slightly, and he became confused.

"What?" He asked softly, but amusement was clear in his eyes. I shook my head and looked into his eyes.

"You missed." I told him honestly. This only seamed to confused him more.

"What did I miss?" He asked clearly confused. I smiled softly, and placed my hand on his cheek and leaned forward until my lips were only a breath away from his. His breath hitched, but the way he was looking at me, his eyes told me how eager he was.

I closed the gap between our lips, and the moment they touched, it was like sending an electric current through my body…very enjoyable electricity. His lips began to move against mine in unison after a brief moment of shock….very brief.

His arms went around my waist, while mine snaked around his neck, and tugging slightly on the back of his silky hair. A slight moan escaped his lips at my actions, which made me smile slightly against his lips. I loved getting a reaction like that from him.

When we broke apart, we both were breathing hard. We didn't need air, but that had been quite intense….and I had loved every second of it. He looked back at me, smiling radiantly, and held me tighter in his arms.

"I love you so much…I thought I was going to lose you…" He said suddenly, his eyes immediately turning sad and pained. I placed my hand on his cheek and rubbed it soothingly, smiling encouragingly at him. He smiled too, but it didn't touch his pained eyes.

"I never left you. I never will. My heart and everything else belongs to you, and only you. I love you Edward. When I thought you were dead, I realized I couldn't live without you. I'll never leave you again. No matter what. I'm yours, and forever will be." I admitted, and watched as his eyes swelled again the happiness I had seen earlier.

"My Bella…" He said smiling brightly and capturing my lips again, sealing what he had said. I returned his enthusiasm, until we broke apart again, breathing slightly hard.

"Your Bella." I chuckled slightly, and he soon joined me in while holding me tighter and closer…

Absolute perfection.

Suddenly, his hand was pulling my chin upwards until I was staring into his eyes again. They seemed guarded and anxious…why?

"…Do you mind if we do something tonight?" He asked me carefully, and I could tell he was afraid I would turn him down. Never.

"Anything." I answered simply, but it still made his eyes relax.

"Do you mind if I leave to set things up? I promise to come back tonight when I'm done." He asked worriedly looking into my eyes. I nodded simply and hugged myself to him and whispered in his ear.

"Come back to me quickly."

"Always." And with that, he leaned in and kissed me chastely, but still soft and passionate, and then he was gone. I sighed sadly at the loss, but it wasn't long until I wasn't alone. Before I could even blink, I was hurled backwards into the bed by 4 bodies that attached themselves to me for dear life. I laughed and looked up to see Carlisle, Caleb, Jasper and Rosalie entering while smiling at me and coming over to the side of my bed.

I looked down to see who had been my attackers. Alice was on my left side, clutching at me with all her will while dry sobbing with a smile on her face and looking at me like I was the thing that mattered the most. Then there was Myra leaning on my chest hugging my neck with dear life and smiling at me while burying her face in my neck. Then there was Esme, slightly on top of Myra, smiling motherly warmly at me.

I had to laugh at the fourth one. Out of all people, Emmett was on my right, clinging to me with a big goofy grin on his face. He ruffled my hair like I was his little sister and clutched even tighter to me.

"I missed you Belly-boo!" He bellowed at me, and noticed Rosalie rolling her eyes, but smiling warmly at me.

"I missed you too Emmy. I missed all of you…" I smiled at all of them individually; grateful I had this amazing family. They each gave me a hug, and a bear hug, and we ended up talking the rest of the day about how it had been for me after I had run away, and what had happened while I had been kidnapped.

Apparently, everyone had underestimated my father, and hadn't really thought about his gift. After a while, I had to ask the question that had been bugging me the most…

"What happened after I left? I mean with Tanya?" I had to restrain from sneering her name with disgust in fear that they were still close. Apparently by the way Alice and Rosalie were making a face, I guessed not.

"The whore had fucking drugged Edward to get him to notice her because she knew he liked you and not her. So, in a bonus way, she got rid of you. But you should have seen Myra; I swear if Tanya had not left, she would have ripped the whores head off!" Emmett said, laughing at the last part while Myra was glaring at him, but ended smiling smugly in the end. Sheesh, I did not want to go up against her.

"Ya, Myra was on a seriously scary rampage that Jasper had to leave from the fury radiating off of her, and the fact that he was scared, but won't admit it." Alice chuckled and hit Jasper on the shoulder, and he was looking away embarrassed but managed a smile at me.

"But, Edward was…beyond upset…I believe if Myra had not been there, he would have done something drastic…he really cares about you, Bella." Jasper said. Wow, he really did care…This only made me love him even more, if that was even possible.

Suddenly, Alice's face went blank, and everyone looked at her and waited until it cleared up. Once it did, she smirked evilly at me. Oh, shit. I knew that look.

"Everyone, out! I've got to get Bella ready for tonight." They didn't have time to ask questions, because the absurdly evil pixie pushed them out of the door in one swift movement, and slammed the door behind her. I was in for it…

"Okay. Go to your room and wait for me there. No arguing!" Yikes she was scary! I quickly opened the door and ran to my room, closing my door on the way in. I sat on the bed, and awaited the torture. Even though she was my best friend, I dearly hated it when she played Bella Barbie doll.

Just as I said the words, she busted through my door, with curling and straightening irons, a giant makeup case, a dress bag that wasn't clear so I had no idea what was inside, and a shoe box, and a shopping bag…I was in trouble.

She smirked at me, closed the door and dropped everything softly on my bed. And then the commands started.

"Go in the bathroom and take your clothes off. Knock when you're done and I'll hand you what you need." I did as she told, knowing I couldn't fight with the pixie, and made my way to the bathroom. I lightly closed my door and removed my dirty closed that I had been wearing over a week. I was actually surprised Alice hadn't changed me while I was unconscious.

Once undressed, I knocked lightly on the door, and she opened it slightly to hand me the shopping bad I had seen earlier. I took it and laid it on the counter and peeked inside.

"I. AM. NOT. WEARING. THIS!" I screeched out of fright, stepping away from the bag. I swear if I had been human, I would have been about 80 shades redder. She had bought me freaking lingerie! Why in the world would I need this!

"Yes. You. Are. And that's final!" Alice replied through the door, and I could tell she had a smug smile on her face by the way she said it. I was about to take control of her mind and make her take it back, but I thought for a moment. It wasn't like anyone was going to see it, so why not?

"Fine. But you owe me big time!" She squealed as I said this, and I sighed and put on the nice but embarrassing midnight blue lace lingerie.

I actually didn't look half bad. The skimpy, but beautiful, lacy bra accentuated my pale skin nicely and fit my curves nicely. The…practically thongs…made my hips look nice and feminine and really brought out my hair all together nicely.

"Ok, Alice, next." I said exasperated, and she handed me the dress bag and shoe box. I hung the dress bag and slowly opened it, expecting Alice to have put a dress that didn't cover my ass, but I was shocked when I saw it was a midnight blue silk halter dress, with frills at the bottom which stopped bellow my knees. I slipped it on, and when I looked in the mirror, I gasped lightly when I saw how nice it looked on me. The plunge neck line was a tad deep, but exposed only minimal cleavage, and it fitted all my curves perfectly.

Now for the dreadful shoe box, I thought to myself. I opened it and rolled my eyes when I saw it was a pair of silver stiletto heels. It strapped around my foot and ankle, which were studded with diamonds and a diamond flower on the left side of each, close to my big toe. I put them on, and was surprised when I could actually walk back into the bedroom without killing myself.

Alice gasped and squealed when she saw me. She pointed to a chair she had placed in front of my mirror, and I went to sit in it. She turned me around so I couldn't see myself, and began by curling my hair slightly, and then straightening my bangs. She then added some luster to make my hair smooth and rid it of frizzes, and some hair spray to keep it in place. Since my skin was already perfect and flawless, she didn't put on foundation and cover up. She applied some dark pink lipstick, and topped it off with some invisible lip gloss to make them shine. She applied light blush, and then put some dark blue and black colors on my eyes.

When she smiled smugly to herself and spinned me around, I didn't even recognize myself anymore. I was…holly crap, I couldn't even describe it! I smiled widely and turned around to give her a hug.

"I take it you like it?" She asked it like a question, but it seemed more like a statement. I nodded vigorously, and pulled away.

"Thank you so much, but I don't get why I needed to dress up like this. Especially the lingerie." I eyed her suspiciously at the last part. She smiled innocently before she replied.

"You'll see soon enough. 3…2…1." Just then there was a knock on my door, and I went to open it. I gasped lightly when I saw Edward, and the way he was dressed. I needed better compliments…

He looked at me…dazzled?

When he snapped out of it, he smiled brightly at me and held out his hand to me, and I greedily took it. He pulled me closer and hugged me tightly while whispering in my ear.

"You look absolutely heartbreaking tonight. It's a good thing where were going its only going to be you and I because I think I would be pulling and ripping men from you if we were going to some place else." I rolled my eyes at that but a smile was spreading across my face. He pulled my chin upwards and leaned down and gave me chaste but sweet kiss.

He leaned away and grinned at me before he pulled my hand running out of the house and into the forest. For a moment I was confused. Where the heck were we going?

I decided to keep quiet until we arrived. After a few minutes of running, he spun around and placed his hands over my eyes.

"Hey! What are you doing?" I said shocked and shaking my head to remove his hands. No such luck. He chuckled behind, and leaned close to my ear because I could feel his breath on my skin…

"It's a surprise. No peeking, ok?" I nodded slightly, and he began walking me towards wherever we were going. Then he suddenly stopped and leaned back in.

"Are you ready?" I nodded again, and he slowly removed his hands. I gasped loudly at the sight in front of me. It was his meadow, but the trees had bottled candles pinned to the branches all around, tall polls with long candles at the top all surrounding the meadow and a large mattress covered with a dark red blanket and red rose petals all around the place. It was absolutely gorgeous! And the moonlight illuminating everything nicely just made things even more heart breaking. I turned slowly around to tell him how much this meant to me and how beautiful it was, but I ended up staring at his hair, which was bellow me.

I gasped again when I realized he was on one knee and a small black velvet box was in his hand, opened to expose a beautiful silver ring, rimmed with diamonds and a large sapphire in the middle cut beautifully, and it was surrounded by larger diamonds circling it. It was…breathtaking.

He looked up at me through his long lashes and he seemed anxious and scarred out of his mind, though he didn't show it, his eyes told me everything.

"Bella, I love you, and I promise to spend every day proving how much you mean to me. I promise to love you forever, and every single minute of forever. You mean the world to me. Will you marry me?"

Wow, you guys must hate me for the cliffy, butyou guys deserve it, but next chapter will make up for it.....in more than one way. Ok, i'm just going to say it. WHY!?!?!?
