Bella's point of view
June 17th Graduation day
"No. Yeah. I completely understand. Love you too. Bye mom."
I sighed and hung up the phone.
"What's wrong sweetie?" Edward asked brushing his teeth.
"Its official, they are not coming."
"It'll be ok." He said and spit out his mouthwash.
"No! I am their only child, I will only graduate once."
"What about graduating college?"
"OK. I will only graduate high school once!"
He had this certain look in his eyes that told me he was either up to something or hiding something. Or both.
I narrowed my eyes at him and he shrunk back.
"What?"
"Nothing." I chirped. I got up and got my black dress from the closet.
"Carlisle and Esme will be there right?" I called from the closet.
"Yes. Of course they will be. They like you more than me." He chuckled.
I rolled my eyes and slipped the dress on. It was simple, black, halter, silky, with a rose pinning to my hip.
I jumped when I turned around and saw him there.
"God! Would you not scare me like that?!"
"What can I not watch you get dressed?"
"I don't care about that. I care that you almost gave me a heart attack."
"You look beautiful."
"Oh don't even do that." I scolded.
"Do what darling?"
"Whenever you think you may be in trouble you just say 'you look beautiful' to me."
"I can't help it you look so incredible."
I blushed but continued to glare at him.
"Sometimes I wonder what the heck I am going to do with you."
He walked forward and kissed me on my lips.
"Love me."
"I already do."
"Forever."
"I promise to love you forever. Would I being wearing this ring if I didn't?"
"About that. I think we should tell them today."
"What?!"
"Bella." He sighed.
"Don't 'Bella' me! We've only been engaged for a little while!"
"This is the only time we will see them in a long time. They are taking us out to dinner, we should tell them now. I just know they will be excited."
"They only live a half hour away we can tell them any time."
There is that look again!
"Let's just go!" I said frustrated.
At the school they lined us up by last name and I kept fidgeting with my hands.
Edward gave me a look from the front of the line that said 'calm down'. I pouted out my bottom lip.
He smiled and mouthed 'I love you'. Before I got to do it back Jessica yanked me to look at her. She had tears streaming down her face.
"Oh my god! Can you believe this is the last time we will see each other?! You have to email me!!"
"Uh, ok." I looked over to Edward for help. He was laughing quietly with Emmett.
"Lauren!" Jessica screeched and ran over to her. I sighed and turned back to my space in line.
"Edward Cullen." I clapped loudly as Edward walked across the stage. He was probably the only guy that could make these ugly yellow gowns work.
Other names were called including, Roses, Alice's, Emmett's, and Jaspers.
"Isabella Swan."
Don't trip. Don't fall. Don't look away. Smile. . .
As I walked across the stage I had a faint smile on my face. Edward was smiling at me but I was really upset my parents were here.
"Woo! Bella!!" I looked back and grinned. My parents were here!! My dad was grinning at me, and my mom was . . . crying.
I looked at Edward and shook my head unbelievably. He knew all this time!!
After the last names were called everybody threw their caps in the air and Edward attacked me in a hug.
He picked me up spinning me around.
"I love you." I said. He kissed me hard.
"I love you too."
"Bella!" My mom gushed and hugged me tightly.
"I thought you weren't coming!" I said sarcastically.
"Well we had more important things to do like wash my car, but we decided to come here anyway." My dad shrugged.
"Gee thanks dad." I rolled my eyes. He hugged me and we all walked out to the parking lot where Esme attacked Edward and me.
Dinner was at The Lodge. A tiny little restaurant where most of the graduates were eating tonight.
"I can't believe it my baby's all grown up." Esme sniffed and pinched Edward's cheek.
"Mom!" He whined.
I giggled and he smacked my thigh lightly under the table.
After eating we sat there just talking.
Edward put his hand on my thigh and looked at me with hopeful eyes.
I shook my head no giving him a death glare. He gave me puppy dog eyes but I still glared at him.
"No!" I whispered lowly.
"We have to tell them sometime."
"Not. Now."
"Bella!"
"Edward!"
I started chatting up a storm with Esme and my mom ignoring Edward. Carlisle and my dad were talking about cars so I hoped they wouldn't pay attention.
"Ahem. I have something to say." Edward announced.
Everybody kept talking completely oblivious to him. Thank you!
"Mom. Dad?"
Still ignoring him. Score!
He growled lowly and glared at me.
"Bella and I are getting married!"
The whole table got quiet and our parents slowly turned to look at him. Damn. Two out of three aint bad.
I started banging my head back on the back of the booth.
"Really?" Esme smiled.
"Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow." I said each time I hit my head.
"Son. This is . . . wonderful, but-"
"But what?" Edward demanded.
"Calm down. It's just that I just told everybody you had a girlfriend. Now you are getting married…"
"So?"
"Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow." I said again.
"Bella would you stop it!" Edward said.
"Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow."
He put his hand behind my head so it didn't hit the hard booth anymore.
I glared at him.
"My baby's getting married!" My mom gushed.
"Dad?" I squeaked.
"Well . . . at least it's not to Newton."
"That's all?"
"On one condition."
"What?" I asked carefully.
"I get to walk you down the aisle."
"This is going the exact opposite of what I planned." I said suspiciously.
"Hmm." I nodded narrowing my eyes at them.
"You are a little young though." Carlisle added.
"Well we decided to have a fairly long engagement."
"How long?"
"Sometime next year."
"Good just enough time to plan Bella's dream wedding!" My mom giggled.
I glared hard at her. She better not mention that!
Edward raised an eyebrow at me and I dug into my piece of chocolate cake.
"Mmm. Have you tried this cake? It's like a freakin cocoa cloud." I gushed.
Edward snorted and wrapped his arm around my waist.
My dad paid for our meal and we all went outside for 'air'.
Edward's point of view
While Bella was talking to her dad I snuck off to talk to Renee.
"So what's this about Bella's dream wedding?" I asked casually.
"Oh no. I can't tell you Bella will glare at me for months."
"Please. She won't tell me anything about what she wants for a wedding. She says something reasonably priced and small."
"Trust me that's the exact opposite of what she wants Edward." Esme smiled.
" She's so stubborn."
"Ok, fine I will tell you. Ever since Bella was 12 she loved to you know plan weddings with me. So one day we decided to plan her imaginary wedding. We found the papers just two years ago and Bella gushed about how perfect the wedding would be if it was like what she said."
"And what did she say?" I pressed.
"A beach wedding. The bridesmaid's dresses would be blue like the ocean. An ocean themed but elegant cake."
Renee laughed quietly to herself.
"What?" I asked.
"Once I asked her what her husband would look like."
"Uh oh." I laughed.
"No. She told me he would have pretty bronze hair. And a body to die for. But she told me that when she was about 9."
Renee and Esme giggled as she motioned to me.
I think I just blushed. Bella moment.
"No way." I rolled my eyes.
"Aw she knew she was going to marry Edward back then!" Esme laughed.
"You people are insane." I shook my head and walked off.
Bella was in the middle of an intense conversation about BMWs with my father and Charlie, she looked like she had no idea what was going on so I decided to save her.
"Yeah yeah, I totally get it! So interesting!" Bella said nervously and slowly walked away from them.
She backed into me and jumped.
"Ow. You're like running into a pole." She laughed.
"Teach me how to speak car and driver." She gripped the collar of my shirt desperately.
"Please." She begged.
"Ok, baby doll." I chuckled and kissed her lips.
"So what were you talking about with Esme and my mom?" She asked.
"They want to plan the wedding." I shrugged.
"Can we dear?" Esme bounced up and down behind me.
"Can you two get along?" Bella questioned.
They linked arms and grinned.
"Ok. Only if you can play nice kids." Bella barked out a laugh.
Esme squealed and kissed my cheek.
"Aw, this wedding is going to be perfect!" Renee smiled.
