The Gala and Reopening Old Wounds
Dean's Point of View
The entire ride to the museum was strained. Jo and Sam played referee between Edward and me. "You two just need to shut up. I have been around you two for three hours and now I realize why B left the house in the first place. You two are driving me up a wall and I'm sure Edward your family has had it with you." The other leeches just nodded. "You know what Jo…." but she cut me off, "Dean I'm not B I will not give you a warning and I have no problem cutting off your pride and joy got it. I am sick of your bullshit, so here's the plan; we are going to play nice from here on out. Otherwise I will throw you out of the limo while we are going 80 miles an hour got it." I shut up. Edward was smiling and I was about to say something when Sam said, "We're here; it's show time."
Bella's Point of View
After I saw everyone leave I put on my dress and assessed myself in the mirror. I had parted my hair on the side and put it in a side bun with roses. My dress was a red halter that plunged in the front, and completely exposed my back. Cas had made it to where my tattoo on my neck didn't show. I wore three inch red peep toe heels. My make up what natural except for a tiny bit of eye liner and my red lips. I decided to wear the necklace and earring set Rose had given to me on my 18th birthday. They were simple, yet elegant and I had never worn them. I heard the chauffeur honk and I grabbed my clutch. I was so nervous the entire drive about seeing Edward and Dean. We arrived at the museum and I took a deep breath before I stepped out of the limo.
Edward's Point of View
When we went into the museum we immediately looked for Gordon, but saw no sign of him. The exhibit didn't open until ten and we still had an hour left. We found the others and huddled deciding what to do. Sam (W.) spoke, "Here is the deal we need to get back there and get the athame. We have to be on the lookout for Gordon. If we can I want to use him as a distraction and than someone grab the athame." We agreed to the plan and now all we were doing was waiting for Bella. They were playing music and there was dancing I heard Dean think, "I wonder if Bella would dance with me and we could talk. Hey leech get out of my head!" I just looked at him and he then proceeded to mentally cuss and insult me so I tuned him out. We were all standing around until a gust of wind blew a wonderful aroma my way. I turned towards to entrance as did my family and the wolves.
Bella's Point of View
I walked into the museum and was directed to the elevator and I stepped inside. I was the only one in the elevator and I started to fidget, "Not use to going to theses things are you?" the man operating the elevator asked me. I smiled, "No it's not that. My ex and someone else will be here and I'm just a little nervous." He laughed, "Well Miss in that dress I'm sure you will wow them and make them regret whatever it was they did." I thanked him as the elevator doors opened and he directed me to go down the hall. There were ushers waiting for me, "Could you wait for a minute before opening the door?" I asked them and they nodded. I counted to three took a deep breath and nodded for them to open the door.
Dean's Point of View
When the leeches and pups turned the rest of us followed their lead and I saw the most beautiful woman in the world at the top of the stairs. I didn't pay attention to anything else, but Bella. She looked like a Greek goddess in red. The only make up you could tell she had on was the red lipstick on those beautiful soft lips. Sam leaned over to me, "Bet you wish you hadn't screwed up now." and I just nodded. Bella scanned the room until she found us and than smiled shyly; something I haven't seen since she was 18. Than she started down the stairs and I couldn't move. I just stood there hoping she would come my way and if I had to I would get down on my knees and grovel.
Edward's Point of View
I couldn't believe my eyes; there at the top of the stairs was my angel in red. Dean had said it best; she did look like a Greek goddess. This was the first time since I had seen her Bella looked innocent, but there was something else. When she smiled I knew it was the old Bella tonight; the shy one. She looked nervous, but there was no reason for her to be. I smiled back at her and I saw her cheeks blush. I loved that I was still able to do that; maybe I did have a chance to win her back. My eyes never left her as she descended the stairs, but the voices in my head kept me from keeping my full attention on her.
"Oh my god; B looks awesome. Eat your heart out Edward and Dean." (Jo)
"She looks like a woman tonight. My little Bells isn't a little girl anymore. Charlie would flip if he saw her." (Bobby)
"Wow Bella looks amazing. She does have a sense of style. I have to remember to thank her for our clothes." (Alice)
"She reminds me of someone, but I can't place my finger on it." (Jasper)
"She looks all grown up and regal. There is something faintly familiar about her." (Carlisle)
"My daughter is so graceful." (Esme)
"Oh my gosh; Bella is so gorgeous. I know her from somewhere; If only I could remember." (Rosalie)
The wolves' thoughts were the same except they were filled with more respect and gratitude; while my family and I couldn't get pass how beautiful she looked. Sam (W.) was trying to keep from laughing at our expressions and pushed pass us to go meet Bella at the bottom of the stairs. I don't know how I was going to do it, but I have every intention of getting Bella back.
Bella's Point of View
I walked in and stopped at the edge of the stairs. I looked around to find everyone and I there they were in the very back of the room. I noticed all eyes in the room were on me and for the first time in a while I felt self conscious. I saw Dean; he looked great in his tux and gave him a small smile and he grinned. Even though he hated being dressed like he was I found him to be very suave and handsome. I saw his eyes light up with something other than lust and I was confused. I saw Jo nod in approval and everyone else just looking at me in awe. I found one pale face with gorgeous golden eyes and I quit breathing. He looked amazing and he gave me that lopsided grin and my heart quit beating. I finally started down the stairs being careful not to fall. Sam met me at the bottom and offered me his arm and I gladly took it. "Thank you Sam." He smiled, "You looked like you were going to have a heart attack." I laughed, "Already had one of those today." He looked at me funny and I just shook my head, "Never mind. It's a long story. Have you seen the athame yet?" I asked him. "No we haven't had a chance to. The exhibits won't open for another hour. So we decided to fan out look for Gordon and blend in." I laughed, "Well you guys aren't succeeding by standing back in the back alone." He laughed, "Well you know I think that with you here we won't be so noticeable. Bella I have got to say you are the most beautiful woman here tonight and I know two guys that would agree with me." He pointed to Edward and Dean. Alice ran up to me first, "Bella you look amazing and thank you so much for our dresses." I laughed, "Alice thank you and you're welcome." I went over and hugged her showing everyone that it was ok and I wasn't mad at them anymore; just Edward and Dean. At that point everyone hugged me and kissed my cheek. Emmett and the pack complained about having to wear tuxes and I laughed. After we had our chick flick moment, (god I'm becoming like Dean.) Sam asked me to dance. We went to the floor and The Goo Goo Dolls Isis played. "Why Sam Winchester I had no idea you could waltz." and he laughed, "Well Isabella there is a lot you don't know. Like there is a lot I don't know about you such as what you're hiding from all of us except Jo." I looked away from him. "Do we have to do this now Sam?" he shook his head no and offered me his hand. I knew if I shook it I would have to tell him later, if I didn't shake it he was going to keep pestering me, so I shook it. "I believe my dance is about to be interrupted." and he spun me around and I ended up in Dean's arms. "I was hoping he would do that. I always like catching you." Dean said with a smirk and I straightened up, "Well Dean you don't have to worry about catching me anymore." I turned to walk away, "Bella please dance with me." I turned to look at him. His face was distraught and riddled with guilt and his eyes were pleading with me. I sighed and took his hand the hand he offered. He pulled me to him and we started to sway, "Dean I thought you didn't like to dance." I said to him and he chuckled, "Well just because I don't like to doesn't mean I don't know how to. Bobby taught Sam and me when we were younger." I laughed, "Uncle Bobby taught you two." He nodded and pointed me over to where Uncle Bobby was. Uncle Bobby and Ellen were waltzing around the dance floor. I smiled, "Wow he is really good." Dean nodded and we continued dancing. After the song ended I started to walk off the floor, but stopped when I'll Be by Edwin McCain came on. It was the very first song dean and I had ever danced to, but back then dancing to us was swaying side to side. He came up behind me and turned me to face him and we danced. Finally he spoke, "Bella I am so sorry I broke my promise to you. You're right I am the biggest douche bag alive and I deserve to have the crap beat out of me. I am willing to get down on my knees right here, right now or do anything else you ask me to if it will make you forgive me." I sighed, "Dean I forgive you, but that doesn't change anything between us. Right now I'm hurting and there is some other stuff going on I need to sort out first. Please understand that." He nodded, but I knew if hurt him and looked away towards Edward. "Dean this has nothing to do with him got it. Damn you get so possessive over me when I don't even belong to you and yet when you go and screw up I'm suppose to just forgive you. It doesn't work like that Dean; you can't expect me to play by your rules." He looked at me, "This other stuff it's really not about leech boy over there." I laughed, "No Dean it's not. I won't lie to you yes I'm still confused about that situation, but it's not the pressing issue at hand." He smiled, "Well than I guess I can learn to be patient. Patience is a virtue right?" "You know I'm not so sure; go ask Cas I'm sure he knows." We busted out laughing and the song ended. We walked back over to everyone and Sam (W.) looked at me, "Hey we just spotted Gordon going behind the curtain where the exhibits are, but there is some guy over there guarding the entrance how do we get by?" I looked over and saw the guard than looked at Jo. She sighed, "I guess I can go play ditz for a little bit." Sam (W), Dean, Bobby, Jake, and Paul would go behind the curtain. Ellen, Jared, Sam (Uley), Quil and Embry would stand guard outside. The rest of us would stay out here and pretend like nothing was going on. I went over to get a drink; after about five minutes I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned to see Emmett, "What can I help you with Emmett?" He smiled widely, "Will you dance with me Isabella." I groaned, "Don't call me Isabella." He laughed that booming laugh, "I won't if you dance with me." I sighed, put down my drink and took the hand he offered. Love remains the same by Gavin Rossdale started to play and we began to dance. "You have changed a lot haven't you Bella?" I let out a dry laugh, "What was your first clue Emmett? Truth is when I moved to Forks I promised my dad I would tone it down, which is why I dyed my hair, put in brown contacts, and dialed down my personality." He looked at me, "I don't believe that Bella. I think that even though you dialed it down it was still you. Sure maybe you weren't being as much as a smartass as you really are, but I think that that quiet girl is you." I smiled, "You're right it was me, but I'm that girl anymore Emmett. I barely even remember her." "I remember her and I don't think she is completely gone." I couldn't help but laugh, "Emmett Cullen I never knew you could be so serious." He laughed too, "Well Isabella Swan I have my moments and now I believe Carlisle would like to cut in." he spun me around and this time I was ready. I caught Carlisle's hand and we didn't miss a step. Carlisle smiled, "Well I'm glad to see you aren't as clumsy as you used to be. I did bring my bag just in case though." I laughed, "Well with Gordon here you might get to use it." His expression turned grim and I quickly spoke, "Carlisle you have nothing to worry about, except maybe a few scrapes." He still didn't smile, "What about your side Bella that is something to worry about." For the first time today I remembered I had been shot last night. I laughed, "Carlisle it comes with the territory." "I know Bella, but we are responsible for what has happened to you. If we…." I cut him off, "No you're not. Candice would of found some reason to do it to me in the end and the results would have been the same." He looked at me, but decided to drop it. "I believe my time is being interrupted." He spun me and I expected to see Edward, but instead it was Jasper. "Is it alright if I steal you from Carlisle?" he asked me and I just nodded. "Bella I am so sorry for what I did on your birthday. I wish…." I cut him off, "Jasper don't I never once hated or felt any anger towards what you did. I understood it if anything. You have nothing to be sorry for." He smiled and we danced in silence. He spun me and I was caught off guard and stumbled into Edward's arms. The song ended and he helped me straighten up. We stood there looking at each other. I started to get lost in those gorgeous golden eyes when the next song started to play and I felt my heart start to break. It was the song Edward and I had danced to at prom; Flightless Bird, American Mouth by Iron & Wine. I remember that night so well and I wanted to cry. I started to walk away but I felt Edward's hand wrap around my waist, "Please Bella dance with me. I beg you." I felt my heart tug and I turned towards him. We started dancing and I felt like I did when we were at prom. "Do you remember this song?" he asked me where only I could hear him and I just nodded. I couldn't speak because I was afraid my voice would break. "Please Bella talk to me." he was pleading with me. I took a deep breath, "Yes I remember. I remember everything about that night." I felt my chest tighten and I let go of his hand and went outside to the balcony. I started to breathe heavy, Come on Bella get a hold of yourself, I told my head and heart. "Bella?" I turned and saw Edward right behind me. We just looked at each other; I wanted nothing more than to have his arms around me like he had on that night, but it couldn't happen. "What can I do for you Edward?" I said as I turned to look over the balcony. He came to stand next to me, "I remember that night too. After I left you it was always in my head. Bella I know I will never be able to say sorry enough. I don't know if you will ever forgive me, but Bella… Damn it look at me!" he shouted. I turned to him and he continued, "But Bella I love you and you're all I have ever wanted. I was stupid to leave you and I can never make up the four years we have lost, but I want to try." My heart tugged at me and I couldn't move. He leaned into kiss me; our lips were barely touching when the sound of glass shattering made us stop.
