Kay, so I was on another missions trip in Pittsburgh and I wasn't aloud on the computer at all. I'm sooo sorry. I'm gonna update two chapter this time!
BPOV
I'm seriously worried. Edward has been extremely distant ever since the day I woke up. It has me seriously worried! I mean, maybe he is having second thoughts about loving me. Tanya is a beautiful girl, I will admit that, and I can see why Edward would love her. I'm not exactly the prettiest girl, and Edward deserves someone far better than me. Some one who isn't always putting him in danger. I wouldn't blame him if he chose to be with Tanya, but it might break me to lose him.
I don't know anymore. Is he distant because he feels bad for me being in pain and suffering? I really have no clue. I was fully healed up a week after the accident, considering my rapid recovery skills. Hey, I'm like wolverine! Sweeeeeet. Blegh. I need to get back on topic. Anyway, I heal fast so I know Edward's not flipping out about seeing me in pain. What is it! Is he getting sick and tired of having to always come and rescue me like a damsel in distress? I don't know. I really don't know, and it's ticking me off immensely. Sigh. Maybe Edward's just having a mental breakdown. I mean I would break down too if I constantly had people's thoughts running through my head. Maybe I should talk to Carlisle or Esme about it.
Knock, knock. "Come in Bella. You don't need to knock, I'm always happy and willing to see and talk to you." I opened the door to see Carlisle sitting at his desk, just putting a medical book down. "Hey Car-lizzle. I need to talk to you about something important." Chuckling at my word play on his name, Carlisle nodded and said, "Anything you want to say, you can. Me and you are the only one's in the house because everybody is out hunting, so you can talk to me about anything." I breathed a sigh of relief. I had totally forgotten that Edward was out of the house and I had worried that he would overhear me and Carlisle talking. Looking up, I saw Carlisle's expectant and waiting eyes, leaving the floor open for me to talk. Here it goes.
"Carlisle, I think something's wrong with Edward. He's been distant ever since the day after I was almost killed. Do you have any idea what's wrong with him? I just need someone to quell my fears that he doesn't love me anymore or that he's getting tired of constantly rescuing me." Surprising me, Carlisle chuckled and leaned forward in his chair to talk to me. "Bella, I can tell you, confidently and truthfully that Edward does love you and will go to the ends of the earth to rescue you. I've noticed the same thing, but I think I have an idea about what's going on." I leaned forward in my seat too, getting excited at the prospect of finally getting to know what Edward's problem was, and possible how to fix it. I looked at Carlisle expectantly, but all he did was stare at me with a small smile on his face. "Well," I said, moving my hands in a circle to urge him to go on, "are you going to tell me what his problem is?" "Bella, I wish I could, but I think that Edward wants to tell you himself. He'll be back later tonight as I leave to go hunt with everybody else. He wants to talk to you in private." As I opened my mouth to protest, Carlisle's buzzer beeped at that exact moment and he looked at it. "Ohh. Sorry Bella, but I've got to take this. A patient of mine is awake from their surgery yesterday and I need to be there." Carlisle stood up to leave, grabbed his things, patted me on the shoulder, and left. Well this is just great. Now I'm confused, lost, and alone. Could this day get any better? Sigh. I'm gonna go to the library. I'm in the middle of 4 books right now, The Odyssey, Romeo and Juliet, Wuthering Heights, The Count of Monte Cristo, so I need to get reading and finish those books soon.

I am extremely nervous right now. All week I've been thinking about Bella, and I finally had a breakthrough. As I sat at her bedside, waiting for her to wake up and even after that as she slept at night, I had a lot of time to think, and I finally finished the song. I realized that not only did Bella inspire it, but it is her. It describes Bella in all her craziness, her gentleness, her loving and caring nature, absolutely everything about her! It's my Bella's lullaby, and I plan to play it for her tonight. I was running home after hunting to set everything up. Tonight had to be perfect. I only hope that Bella will forgive me about being so distant this week.
"Edward? What are you doing, trapped up in your piano room all day?" I look up from writing and hear Bella's light footsteps coming down the hall towards my piano room. Hurriedly, I hid all my sheet music before Bella could come in and I quickly began to play Claire de Lune. "Hey silly. Why are you in here so often! You only really leave to hunt and at night," Bella said, coming up behind me to kiss me on the cheek. I really wanted to kiss her, but my mind was working double time to try and finish this composition I was working on. For my plan to work, I need to have it finished by the end of the week. "Ya, I know. I'm sorry. I should be done later this week." I felt Bella back up from me in surprise. "Um, okay then. I'll, see you at the end of this week. Bye Edward." Bella walked out of the room, and I could tell that she was feeling upset. Sigh. In a couple days we can talk freely and without distraction.
I turned back to my piano and started to play from the beginning. As I played, I thought about Bella. Her smell, her smile, her personality, her beauty, her powers, absolutely everything about her. Before I knew it, my fingers had begun to play of their own accord and the went past the point where I had last finished. I listened to the notes played carefully and memorized each note. Within an hour, due to the many stops I took to write everything down and play the song all the way through to make sure that I had it right, I had finished the song. I leaned back, thrilled that I had finished the song. And it sounded like Bella, in every aspect. It was beautiful, just like her. Now, I only had one more thing to do.
"Carlisle, could I talk to you for a minute?" I opened the door and stepped inside, closing it softly behind me. "Of course Edward. What do you need?" "Well, you see, it's about Bella…"
Snapping myself out of my reverie, I quickly went to work. Everything must be perfect, and I knew Bella wouldn't bother me because she was busy finishing her books. I ran around the house in a flurry, grabbing everything I needed and started to set everything up on the patio…

"For never was a story of more woe, Than this of Juliet and her Romeo." I closed the book and sighed. Ever since I was little, I've always had a copy of Romeo and Juliet. I absolutely love that book, and the movies aren't too bad either. Looking at the clock on the wall, I see that I have been here about three hours. Wow. Time flies when you're reading. Getting up, I realize that Edward should be back by now. I plan to confront Edward as soon as I find him. He's got a lot of explaining to do for the past week.
"Edward!" I call as I walk out of the library. Suddenly, my phone rings. I look at it to see that I have a text from Alice.
in ur closet thers a dres I bot u put it on now ull thnk me l8r ily chica. xoxo -Alice
Alice bought me a dress? And why do I need to wear it now? Whatever. I've learned not to ponder on the things that Alice does. She always does have a good reason for everything she does. I walk to my closet and see a sign from Alice, telling me to thank her later. Putting that into a far part of my mind for later, I open the closet and see a gorgeous midnight blue mid-thigh length dress. Taking it off the hanger and putting it on, I look in the mirror and see that it looks even more gorgeous actually on someone than on the hanger. I looked up and saw that there was a bag on the corner of the mirror, which I saw held shoes, a necklace, and a gorgeous pair of earrings. Thank you Alice.
I had just finished getting dressed when I heard Edward's velvet voice calling me. "Coming," I replied before I took one last look at myself in the mirror and started to go downstairs. Before I could actually get out of me and Edward's room though, I saw that there were blood red rose petals creating a path down the hall. I followed them down the stairs. The rose's led me to Esme's giant French doors and they soon turned into full rose's, not just petals. Small candles were lighting the way, and I saw that they led into the woods. I had a feeling where Edward was leading me to, so I opened my wings and flew very carefully, as to not ruin my outfit, towards our meadow.
I finally arrived at the meadow within ten minutes, and the sight I saw left me speechless. All around the perimeter of the meadow there were white Chinese lanterns everywhere. Roses littered the ground like a carpet. To the side of the meadow there was a baby grand piano, and it wasn't as big as Edward's grand piano. In the middle of the meadow there was a table that had two candles, a bottle of what I think is wine, abut I have no idea what is in the other bottle, although it looks like wine. But what took my breath away was the sight that stood ten feet in front of me: Edward in a tux, looking like Michelangelo's David. My eyes started to tear up, and I was instantly glad that I had decided to put on waterproof mascara this morning.
"Oh, Edward! Did you do all this? This is amazing, and beautiful, and…I don't know what to say!" Edward smiled his gorgeous crooked smile and said, "I think I know what I need to say. I'm sorry. I know that I have been distant this past week, and I'm sorry. But I am going to promise you, right now, that I will never put you through that again. Now," Edward said, walking forward and putting his arm out to take mine, "shall we go milady?" Putting my arm on his and kissing him on the cheek, I replied, "Yes, good sir. I do believe we shall."
Edward had made me my favorite fancy food, chicken parmesan and spaghetti, and it was amazing. I found out that he had put rabbit's blood in the other bottle for him to drink. We talked about everything, but he never explained why he was so distant. I was so caught up in eating my German chocolate cake he made me before I remembered to ask him. I waited until he had put everything into a garbage bag before asking my question.
"So Edward, why were you distant this week? Was it something I did, or are you just preoccupied." Edward sighed. "I knew that we would be getting to this, but could I please know you what I've been working on in my piano room?" I nodded, and took his hand as he stood up and led me to the piano. Edward sat me down on the bench beside him and began to play. My mouth fell open as I listened to the beautiful piece that Edward was playing. It made me want to laugh, cry, smile, frown; it made me feel every emotion at once. I never thought that any song could affect me so deeply as this composition just did. When Edward's fingers finally drew to a close, I reached up to find that my cheeks were wet with tears. "Did you like it?" Edward asked as he turned to look at me and wipe away my tears. "Edward, that was beautiful! I've never heard anything like it! What is it called?" Edward chuckled and what came out of his mouth surprised me more than anything I've ever heard. "It's called Bella's Lullaby, and I wrote it for you. That is part of the reason why I've been so distant this week. I never meant to hurt you or make you feel lonely. I just didn't want you to find out about it."
I looked up at him and leaned up to kiss Edward chastely. We continued this for a couple more minutes before Edward pulled away. Laughing at my pouty expression, Edward said, "Don't worry, you can kiss me later. I wanted to tell you the main reason why I've been so distant this week. Now, you remember last week when you almost, well, died." I nodded, but I could see how hard it was for Edward to talk about it. I reached out for his hand to comfort him, and Edward's eyes softened a bit as he smiled at me. Taking a deep breath he restarted where he had broken off. "Well, I had a lot of time to think during that time, and I thought about life and death, and don't worry, I totally abandoned all thoughts to kill myself once I thought about what you would say to me." That's ri-ight. You better forget those thoughts Edward Anthony Masen Cullen. "And that's when I realized, that I don't ever want to worry about you being hurt again. I know it's inevitable, but I thought of a, I guess you could say 'solution' to my problem. I don't ever want to live without you, so I talked to Carlisle, and he agreed with me and gave me tips on how to go about putting my plan into action. Alice helped me with your outfit for tonight, and I must say again, you look absolutely beautiful. And now that you're here, I know that I made the right choice." "Edward, what are you talking about. I'm already yours forever, what do you mean?" "Silly Bella," Edward said, and proceeded to get up from his chair.
After getting down on one knee, and pulling out a velvet box, Edward asked me a question that stopped my heart. "Isabella Marie Swan? From the day I met you, I knew that there was something special about you. It took me a few weeks to realize that I had fallen in love with you from the first time I saw you. Everything about you makes me happy, and I want to make you mine, legally, so that there is no doubt in anyone's mind that you belong to me wholly and completely. Bella, I promise to love you forever, I promise to go to the ends of the earth for you, and I promise to stand with you during your upcoming journey. Isabella Marie Swan, will you marry me?" A thousand romantic and gushy responses flashed through my mind, and a lot of them could have worked for this moment, but I responded with the classic and probably most romantic way I could think of. "Yes, Edward. I will marry you." Edward flashed me a blinding white smile, opened the box, and pulled out a gorgeous ring that I could tell was from Edward's family, considering the look of antiquity that the ring has. Edward placed it on my finger, kissed each of my knuckles, and finally met my awaiting lips.
I don't know what is to come in the future. People will get hurt, some people will die, but I knew that I could face anything that came my way. Edward is my destiny, and with him I know that I can do anything. Sure, the journey will be hard, but it's a path that I am willing to travel, with my destiny, my love, my Edward, by my side.
THE END
