How Did I Fall in Love With You

Chapter 25

Bella POV

"GO! GO! GO!" Emmett yelled from the couch.

"Emmett! Keep your voice down!" Alice hissed.

"GO! You got it! Now RUN!" Emmett kept shouting at the T.V.

It was like any normal day for us in the house. Just relaxing and doing nothing. Emmett, fidgeting in the couch he was sitting at, was watching a football game that came on. Alice was trying ignoring all his remarks and was on the table, flipping through her fashion magazine. Esme had a convention for her job, and Carlisle went with her. I, on the other hand, was peacefully reading my book, until Emmett started yelling so loud, I couldn't even hear anymore.

I chuckled lightly at both of them. My family is so entertaining that you wouldn't even need to watch a comedy sitcom on the T.V. I glanced at the clock and it said that it was a little past 7.

Edward should be home soon.

My perfect and handsome husband, started his job a few days ago, and I was missing him already. He always left early in the morning, before I go to school and wouldn't come home until the sun has gone down. He's been so busy with working and trying to support us both, that I never actually got to spend some time with him. I felt distant from him, and I didn't like it.

I sat down next to Emmett, who was now bouncing on the couch with so much excitement.

"Bella, come here." Alice instructed and made me get up from my comfort zone. I got up and followed her to the kitchen.

"Alice is there anything you wanted?" I asked.

She grabbed the magazine she was looking at earlier and shoved it into my face.

"woah, Alice too close."

"sorry, that was a bit over the line. But anyway, how do you like the dress?"

I took the magazine and saw the dress she was talking about. To be honest, the dress was past beautiful. It wasn't to flashy and to plain, making it perfect for me. It was a deep blue two strap dress that ended a little higher than the knees. It had a neckline that was appropriate. It was tight in some places, making the areas pop out. The dress had some beading on it making the dress perfect.

"oh, Alice. Its beautiful!" I finally said after a few moment of silence.

"I knew you would like it! I just knew it! When I saw it, I knew that it was perfect for your graduation." she squealed.

I smiled at her and handed her the magazine.

"its perfect Alice. Thank you, you didn't have to." I eloped her into a friendly hug and she gave me a light squeeze.

"your welcome Bells, and I wanted to. Its another opportunity to dress you up."

The front door suddenly opened relieving the face I wanted to see this whole day. Edward was still gorgeous as ever, with his bronze- colored hair and green piercing eyes. His shirt was wrinkled from work and he seemed tired and exhausted. He spotted my face, quickly and walked to my direction.

"hi, love." he said taking me by the waist.

"hey." I whispered attaching my hands to his neck.

"okay, I'm out of here, before anything else happens." Alice walked out of the kitchen and went to the living room.

There was a slight gap between us, even though we were close to each other. Edward closed the distance that was separating us, and kissed me passionately. I can feel our love and passion poured in our kiss. I felt his tongue asking for entrance and I happily oblige. I could taste his sweet taste in my mouth. Finally we broke apart, both of us gasping for air.

When I finally got control of my heart rate, I rested my head on his chest, inhaling his sweet scent.

"how was work?" I asked casually.

"it was alright. Same old, same old." he replied.

"I missed you, a lot. It feels like you don't have time for me anymore."

"I'm sorry Bella, but I have to do this. I'm doing this for us, making a future for us." he lightly stroked my hair and kissed the top of my head.

"I love you." I blurted out.

I heard him chuckle and kissed my head once more.

"I love you too." he replied.

Days flew by so fast that I couldn't even keep up. The days were still the same as usual. I was busy with school and Edward was occupied with his work. He seemed to get more distant everyday, but I knew that he was doing this for the both of us. For our future.

Today was my graduation. Alice was stressing about it, saying that she wasn't going to have enough time to make me perfect if I kept spending all my free time with Edward. But to be honest I couldn't help it. Its been a few days since I have actually spent time with Edward, and I was missing him a lot.

"Bella, your perfect!" Alice finally said after the torturous hours of makeup and getting my hair done.

I looked at the mirror and my eyes popped wide open. I had on a the blue dress Alice was talking to me about a few days ago, matched with not so high heels. I had a minimal amount of make up on, revealing my natural look. Alice had curled my hair and left half of it up and the other half down. I looked unbelievable, that I doubted that was me in the mirror.

"oh my gosh. Wow I look, wow. Thank you so much Alice." I said giving her a hug.

"your welcome. Now get your toga and go find Edward. You guys can kiss all you want, but watch the lip stick!" Alice warned.

I smiled at her, while she walked out the door. I got up from the leather chair, I sitting in and grabbed my yellow robe and took one last glance at the mirror, before leaving the room.

This was it. The ending part of my life and a new beginning. A new chapter once again in my life.

I swiftly walked down the stairs with the cameras flashing in my eyes, and squeals I knew that belonged to Alice. Once down the stairs, I found Edward patiently waiting for me. He looked amazing in his dark jeans and button up shirt, that he matched with his usual messy bronze hair.

"you look beautiful, Bella." he whispered

"thank you. You look very handsome, just like always." I replied smiling.

"oh, Bella! You look amazing!" Esme shrieked in her motherly voice.

"thanks, mom." her eyes started to glow with so much happiness and love.

"Bella, your absolutely breath taking!" Rose exclaimed.

"Bella you look stunning" Carlisle said.

"damn, Bells you look hot." Emmett mumbled.

"you look very nice, Bella." Jasper said after Emmett.

"thank you so much, all of you." I smiled even wider now.

"okay, lets go. Or we'll be late!" Esme walked us to the garage and we went our separate ways. Alice and Jasper went in her Porsche, she loved so much. Esme and Carlisle went to his black sleek Mercedes. Rose and Emmett got into their big jeep, while Edward and I slid into his Volvo.

Since Forks wasn't a very big town, they really didn't hold their graduations n a big fancy location like most graduations are. Instead they were located inside the gym, that could probably fit the size of the parents and family members that were attending.

Edward parked the car next to Alice's yellow Porsche, and went to the passenger side to open mine. I could feel the nerves and butterflies now in my stomach, making me feel queasy. It seems Edward saw my distress quickly and wrapped his arms around my waist soothingly and planted a kiss onto my head.

"everything will be alright, love." he whispered.

"no, what if I trip? And I know I'm uncoordinated. I'm bound to fall on the floor." I could hear the panic that was in my voice.

"you wont. And if you do, I'll be there to catch you no matter what." he assured me.

I gave him a sweet and short kiss on the lips, trying to make the feeling in my stomach disappear and to my surprise it did.

Alice and Rose came to my side after the kiss Edward gave me. They both gave me a small, but tight hug, and wished me good luck. Emmett, patted my head, as if I was a little girl, and cracked a few jokes making me laugh so hard that tears were about to form. Jasper just gave me an assuring smile, promising me that everything would be alright. Carlisle hugged me, like he would his own daughter, and Esme gave me a quick peck on the cheek. After a one more shot of smiles that they gave me, they walked down to were all the parents and family members were and tried to find their seats.

We walked hand in hand towards the gym, and saw most of the senior class waiting in the line for the ceremony to start. I quickly found my spot, with Edward still in my side.

"I'm proud of you, my Bella." he said, after wrapping his arms around me, and gently placing his forehead onto mine.

"thank you. That means a lot to me, Edward." I whispered, looking deeply into his emerald green eyes.

"Mr. Cullen and Ms. Swan, please release your self from one another." Mr. Greene our principle ordered.

I quickly took my arms that were around Edward and took them off my body. I knew that he seemed hurt, but I was too. I could feel his warmth that was once pressed onto my skin, now gone.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Greene." I apologized.

Mr. Greene gave us one more menacing look, his eyes saying that if we tend to touch each other, he would be forced to separate us, before walking off towards the other teachers.

"well, that was embarrassing." I stated the obvious.

Edward chuckled and eloped his hand onto mine and rubbed circles on the back of my hand.

"at least we didn't get in trouble." he replied.

"yeah, that's a good thing."

"love, it looks like the ceremony's about to start and I have to go take my seat if I want to see up on that stage."

"okay, I'll just see you after it." I said sighing.

He gave me another quick kiss before leaving into the audience. I felt so empty without him. I know it sounds stupid that we were only apart for a few hours, but to be honest, it huts not to be around Edward. I'm so attuned to him and his ways that it was hard to be away from him.

"awh, Bella! You and Edward look so cute together." Jessica squealed with delight.

I smiled at her remark and thanked her. Before I knew it, the music started and Mr. Green went on stage. He said his speech, telling the audience the hard work that all of us had done, and with every mistake that we made, we always learn from that. The audience clapped after his speech and they called the students up to the stage to get their diplomas.

Names of the senior class were being called up and before I knew it, it was my turn.

"Isabella Marie Swan Cullen." Mr. Greene announced, and swiftly walked to the stage. I shook the principals hand and he handed me the diploma.

I heard the cheers coming from my family and instantly recognize all their voices. Emmett was cheering as loud as he could, with a smiling Rose at his side. Alice was screaming with so much delight that I thought she was going to explode of excitement. Japer was at her side, cheering for me as well. Carlisle and Esme both had proud smiles glued on their face.

I turned to the face I was wanting to see the most and I saw him. He was so happy and his crooked smile showed it all. He cheered and waved for me and it melted my heart, when he did that. I blew him a kiss before I sat down in my seat.

Once the diploma was in my hands, I couldn't believe it. All my hard work through high school finally paid off and I was done. I was done with all the studying, and all the struggling for high grades. High school was now officially finished.

"Now I give you the class of 2010!"

The whole class threw their hats in the air and hugged their loved ones. I was still in shock about finally finishing high school that I didn't realize it when two warm hand were wrapped around my waist.

"congratulations, love! You did it!" Edward said giving me a kiss.

"I know! I cant believe it! It all finally done." I got more and more excited as reality was setting in.

"Bella! Congrats! Oh my gosh" Alice said knocking me down with one of her hugs.

"Bella, Bella! You were amazing!" Rose screamed joining into the hug.

Once they both released me, Esme and Carlisle were the next to claim me.

"congratulations, Bella." Esme's motherly tone came into hearing and my heart melted because of her words.

"were so proud of you. Congratulations." Carlisle told me.

"You did great, Bells." Jasper came to me and gave me a quick brotherly hug.

"Bella! Your finally done with high school1 Congrats." Emmett's booming voice yelled at my ear and he grabbed me into one of his bear hugs.

"woah, Em. Cant breath!" I was about to loose all my air supply if he didn't release me soon.

"oh, sorry." he apologized.

"thank you so much." I told all of them, while giving them one of my genuine smile.

"okay, now lets go eat! I'm starving." Emmett's stomach started to growl, making all of us laugh.

"okay, okay, lets go. We cant let poor Emmett starve." I said sarcastically, receiving deadly stares from Emmett.

Dinner at the restaurant was a very amazing and unforgettable event. Alice was being herself, excitedly chatting away with everyone. Jasper had his arms around Alice, trying to calm her down as much as possible. Emmett and Rose were like in their own world, not paying attention to anything but themselves. Carlisle and Esme had smiles on their faces, happy to see the family happy and satisfied.

Edward had his arms around me and I felt secure and at home. He had his arms protectively around me, while plating occasional kisses on my cheek or hands. That would cause me to blush scarlet red, and Edward would chuckle with delight.

"oh Edward I forgot, to tell you something important, son." Carlisle said making all of us turn our attention to him.

"oh, what is it dad? Is it something bad?" Edward asked worried.

"no, of course not. Its about the hospital. They think you have the right potential to becoming a doctor and they want to give you the opportunity to attend the convention in New York, so you could have a feel of what business is like in the hospital. They want to give you this experience, so that if you want to become a doctor, you know what to expect."

Edward was still on my body, and I could tell he was going to burst with excitement and happiness. I always knew that Edward wanted to become a doctor, but he always thought that he didn't have the potential and that he wasn't good enough to become one. I always told him that he did, but I knew that he didn't believe me.

Finally Edward moved and gave me a tight hug and smiled.

"oh my gosh, Bella! This is amazing!" he sang with so much pride and happiness.

"I know! I'm proud of you Edward." I said kissing his soft lips.

"congrats man." Emmett said bumping fists with Edward.

Everyone congratulated Edward to his success and by the looks of it he seemed so ecstatic that he couldn't take the smile off his face.

"were all proud of you." Esme told him, with tears forming in her eyes.

"thank you so much, everyone." Edward said.

Dinner flew by fast and before I could keep up, we were home. The family all went their separate ways, and in their own comfort zone. Edward and I stayed in our room wanting some alone time with each other. I laid down comfortably on the bed, we shared and gently rested my head on the soft pillow. Once Edward was done getting ready for bed, he snuggled so close to me that I could inhale his sweet scent.

"I'm very proud of you, Edward. Congratulations." I mumbled while yawning softly.

"thank you, love. That means a lot to me." he said kissing the top of my head.

And with that we fell into a sweet slumber, wrapped comfortable in each others arms.

I felt so bad when I woke up, this morning, and that was unusual. I felt nausea creeping onto my stomach and I honestly didn't feel to well. I laid down on the bed trying to calm myself and the pain that was coming from my stomach area. Edward left an hour ago for work, and I felt too weak to even get up.

Finally my stomach started to twinge and I ran as fast as my feet would allow me to the toilet. Thank god I made just in time. There I emptied out all of what was left in my stomach and rested my cheek on the cool tile. That seemed to calm my stomach enough and I didn't want to move.

"Bella? Bella? Hello?" I heard Alice's voice enter my room.

"oh my gosh, Bella! Are you alright?" she asked going to my side as fast as she could.

I couldn't find my voice, too weak to even speak, so I just nodded. My head started to ache because of the noise, and it wasn't really helping me right now. I tuned out Alice trying to relax and calm myself before my stomach started to churn again.

"Emmett? Emmett?" I felt Alice run out the door.

I stayed in my position for quite sometime until I felt a rock hard body pick me up from the floor and I landed gently on the bed.

"is she alright? What happened? Maybe we should call Dad, he might know what's wrong with her." Alice asked worriedly.

"we should, but she needs rest right now. Lets leave her to rest and if she's still feeling bad, we'll have dad look at her." Emmett replied and I heard their footsteps leave the room.

I felt slightly better, I felt the headache about to pass and my stomach finally settled itself. I was feeling really tired and exhausted fast and I fell asleep quickly.

"Bella? Bella, love?" I knew that voice anywhere. That velvet voice only belongs to one person and it was Edward.

I opened my eyes and found him sitting next to me in the bed. He still had his uniform on for the hospital and I knew that too well that it was too early for him to be home.

"Edward, what are you doing at home? Aren't you suppose to be at the hospital, saving lives?" I asked.

I heard him chuckle faintly and he lightly pushed the hairs that were on my face away.

"well, I was. But Alice called, she said you weren't feeling good today, and I needed to see for myself that you were alright." he said worriedly.

"I'm alright. Its probably just from the food I ate yesterday. You worry too much, I'll be fine." I promised him.

He smiled at me, but it didn't quite reach his eyes. I looked around the room and I saw the whole family there. Alice close to the door with Emmett beside her. Carlisle and Esme were a little closer to us then Alice. They all had the same look on their faces, worried for me.

"oh Bella! I'm glad your alright!" she ran to my side and was about to hug me, but stopped.

"thanks, so am I." I replied.

"what happened to you? I was down stairs looking for, because I know you usually were the first one to wake up, but you weren't there. I waited for an hour but you still didn't come down. So went to your room and found you passed out on the bathroom floor! I was so worried!" she blabbered on.

"Alice, shh.. Its alright, I'm fine." I stopped her.

"and thank god your alright." she sighed happily.

"Bellie! Its good to see your alright." Emmett cheered and went to the bed to give me a soft hug.

"thanks Em."

"oh Bella, sweetie. We were worried about you." Esme said coming close to me.

"thanks, mom. But I'm alright." I reassured her.

"Well, Bella it seems that you might have eaten something bad yesterday, resulting your trip to the bathroom. But don't worry, I checked everything and you'll be alright." Carlisle informed me.

"see, what did I tell you guys? You got nothing to worry about." I told them jokingly.

"yeah that just means were going to have to watch you more closely than usual." Edward said smiling, showing off his perfect white teeth.

The rest of the family just gave me one of their humble smiles and went out of the room. I could tell that relief washed over them and they could finally just relax.

"Bells, I was so worried. To be honest I was scared. Scared that I was going to lose you and I cant lose you, Bella." Edward admitted.

"Edward its nothing to worry about. It was just something I ate. I'm not going to die." I promised him.

"okay, just as long as your alright."

"I'm perfect. There's nothing to get worked up about." he held out his hands and I happily wrapped myself in his embrace. Once again I felt the peace and serenity go through me and nothing else mattered except for Edward and myself.
