Important! While this is based on my life and the events that have taken place involving me, this is a Fanfiction and there will be fiction in the story. Enjoy!
Last time:
Dinner is nice. We all talk about how our respective days were and other random things while we eat. After dessert, all four parents fall silent and look at Edward and I expectantly. Clearing his throat, Edward speaks.
"I asked for you all to come here tonight because we have some news. I know I should have asked your permission first, Mr. Swan. But, Isabella has agreed to be my girlfriend and we just wanted you all to know that we are in love." He exhales at the end. I look at each parent in turn and each face is blank.
Finally, Renee and Esme stand up and come around the table, kissing us both and telling us how amazing this is. Shocked, I smile, but I can't help but agree with them. This is amazing. Charlie and Carlisle share a look before telling us they're happy that we're happy.
"You better not get her pregnant, boy," Charlie states, making Edward freeze and our mothers laugh. I blush a deep red, mortified that Charlie would say something like that.
"I-I-I promise not to," Edward stutters, blushing, his face matching the color of mine. Our parents laugh as both of our faces slowly return to their normal color.
The rest of the evening is spent in the family room. Edward and I curl up on a chair while our parents take the couches. Everyone seems happy with the news. As Edward kisses me softly, I realize that I should never have been worried about their reactions. Since we were born, they had hoped Edward, Emmett, Alice, and I would all get along and our relationship brings us all closer together.
"Are you happy, baby?" Edward whispers in my ear.
"I couldn't be happier."
Chapter thirty-two.
Now:
"You're so fucking beautiful. I can't keep my fucking hands off of you." I hear Edward groan in my ear and gooseflesh erupts on my skin.
"Do you kiss your mother with that mouth, Cullen?" I ask, my voice breathy.
"Only you, baby. Only you." A soft moan escapes my lips when he takes my bottom lip between his, massaging it with his tongue.
"Will you two please stop it?" I pull away from Edward and look over at Alice as she smiles widely from her place under Jaspers arm.
"You're just jealous." Edward smirks, taking a sip out of his coke can and throwing his arm around my shoulders.
"Believe me, I'm not. I'm just trying to eat and seeing you two practically fucking is putting me off," she huffs, chucking a bread roll on to her paper plate. I chuckle slightly and grab my small salad, picking at the lettuce and putting small pieces into my mouth. I wash it down with some water.
"I wish you would eat real food." I turn to look at Edward and his face has fallen. His eyes are slightly angry, but they look somewhat sad. I peck his lips with mine and pull away with a long sigh. Since the dinner at his parents' last week, I have decided to go on yet another diet. It will make me feel better about myself if I lose some weight and, hopefully, Edward will like me better if I'm thinner.
"I am eating real food, Edward. Just because you think a greasy burger is better than salad doesn't mean I do too." I prove my point by sticking a carrot stick into my mouth. His eyes follow my movement and I see him swallow hard. Internally, I smirk.
"You're fucking perfect the way you fucking are. Why do you have to do all these shitty diets?" he groans. My stomach drops at the thought of upsetting him, but I want to be better for him. I want him to be proud to be seen with me. I want him to point down the hallways at me and say 'that's my girl'. I need to be better for him.
"I agree with him, Bella. You're perfectly fine and if I was a lesbian, I would so do you." Alice winks across the table at me and I blush at all the compliments.
"Could I watch?" Jasper smirks, opening a bag of chips. Alice giggles and whispers something into his ear, making Jasper shift uncomfortably. Poor guy, he didn't stand a chance after that comment.
"Can we just drop it? I'm fine with salads, and if I lose a few pounds, that's just an added bonus." Edward rolls his eyes and kisses my cheek before biting into a burger. Ketchup dribbles down his chin and I smile before wiping it off with a napkin.
"Aww, look, guys. Isabella is trying to eat Edward now, just like she did Richard. Poor guy couldn't get away in time." I look up to see Tanya standing there, with an evil smirk on her face and a group of people behind her. They all laugh at her comment that makes little to no sense what so ever. How am I trying to eat Edward? I'm taking the sauce off of him, not putting it on. I want to roll my eyes, but I resist. Wait, last week she was happy for us and now she is making a scene? I will never understand teenage girls. Well, other teenage girls.
"Whatever, Tanya. Just walk away before you completely embarrass yourself," Edward sneers and I look down at the table. My face is hot and I can just imaging I look like a fire engine right now. I'm the right size for it.
"No, Edward. It's Valentine's Day and you just remember what you arranged with Mike at th…." He cuts her off before she can finish. His face is angry and he stands up quickly, making his chair hit the floor.
"Fuck off, you stupid bitch! What don't you fucking understand? Bella is my girlfriend, whether you like it or not." He is absolutely seething and they all back away, muttering to each other as they walk out the room.
I pull him to look at me and he does so before picking up his chair and sitting in it. He runs a hand through his hair before he turns, wrapping me in his arms and holding onto me tightly. I hold him back, putting my head into his neck. I breathe in his amazing scent, letting myself be comforted by him.
"Don't listen to them, baby. You're so fucking amazing, just fucking amazing," he whispers that last part and I nod, trying to make him calm down a little. He pulls away and puts my face into his hands, looking me right in the eyes. "Everything they say are all lies, everything. Do you believe me, baby? You have to believe me." His eyes are wild and I flinch. What is up with him?
"I believe you. Edward, please calm down, you're scaring me," I whisper, but I know Alice and Jasper can hear me. Edward glances over at them and seems to be having some kind of silent conversation with Jasper. I thought only women that did that.
"I'm sorry, baby." His lips meet mine softly and I can feel his anger slowly leaving his body. "You are so fucking perfect."
"You're just blind," I tease. He laughs quietly and just like that, the tension leaves the small bubble we have created.
"So, it's Valentine's Day." Alice giggles, looking pointedly at Jasper. He smirks at her, but doesn't say anything.
"Yeah, it is. And your point?" Edward asks, biting into the delicious looking burger. He sees me looking and holds it out but I shake my head, picking up an apple and biting into it.
"Are you guys doing anything?" she asks us, glancing at Jasper again. She has been talking non-stop all week about how Jasper forgot it was Valentine's Day and he hasn't planned anything with her. I bet that he has a plan, but he just doesn't want to tell her yet. In fact, I'm certain he has something planned. If he doesn't, Alice will make him beg for her forgiveness.
"I dunno, are we?" I look up at Edward and he shrugs, taking a sip from a can of something fizzy.
"I may have something planned." He winks at Jasper and I sigh, knowing that he probably has something big planned and won't tell me. Well, unless I make him tell me. I poke him just under his ribs; he flinches and looks down at me.
"So, do you have something planned?" He shrugs at me so I poke him again, making him laugh.
"You'll have to wait and find out," he whispers, placing a kiss against my forehead.

Flipping through the television channels, I glance out the window, waiting for Edward to show up. Renee and Charlie have gone out for the night. Charlie has arranged for them to go out to dinner in Port A. and they are staying in a motel for the night. Too much info, but at least I know they won't be home to ruin my evening with Edward. Emmett and Rosalie have also gone out for the night, staying at her house or something. I didn't really ask, to be honest.
Glancing out the window again, I see a mail truck pull up and put a load in our mail box. Charlie hates out mail being left out there for too long. He thinks that someone will come along and steal our identities. Why anyone would want to steal my identity is lost on me, but he's still paranoid. Sometimes, his being a cop is more of a burden than anything else.
I sigh and walk to the front door, unlock it, and walk to the mail box at the end of the driveway. Locking the door when I am home alone is a habit that I have always had. Getting the pile of mail out, I sort through it as I walk back to the house. Most of it is junk, but I stop when I come across a brown envelope with 'Isabella Swan' written on it in red ink.
I put the rest of the mail under my arm and open the brown envelope. Inside is a disk and a note. I furrow my brow and pull the note out, leaving the disk where it is. Unfolding the note, I smile when I see Edward's name at the bottom of the note. It has been typed, but even the font looks incredible close to Edward's handwriting.
Going back into the house, I lock the door and put the rest of the mail on the table by the door and take mine with me up to my bedroom. Falling onto the bed, I hold the note just above me as I read it.
'Isabella…..
The last couple of months have been amazing. You have turned out to be someone I never thought I would ever meet. We connected instantly and I will never be more pleased. You mean everything to me now and I just wanted you to know.
Today, as you know, is Valentine's Day. In this envelope, I have added a disk. I want you to watch it and I will be there later tonight to spend the Valentines evening in with you. When you watch the video, I want you to know everything on there is 100% true. I love you.
Forever yours,
Edward, xoxo.'
I smile and jumping off the bed, I run to the DVD player and put the disk in. I sit back on the bed when the DVD is in the player and I press play. A black screen comes up and I frown. Where's the video?
The black screen shifts and a crowded room appears on the screen. I smile, glad it's working now. In the corner, the date and time shows it's just after ten on the Twentieth of December - the day before he started talking to me. The camera pans around the room, showing everyone getting drunk and smoking.
What looks like Rosalie and Tanya are bending over a table, snorting lines of cocaine through what look like tubes from a tampon. Emmett is under Rosalie - she's sitting on his lap - with a beer in his hand and a joint hanging from his lips.
I can already tell he is high or drunk, probably both. He's smiling, watching Rosalie with adoration. She straightens up again and makes another line of cocaine on the table. She says something to Emmett, but the music is too loud for me to hear. He nods and she gets up, allowing him to move.
Tears spring to my eyes when I see Emmett take that line and attach his mouth to Rosalie's, kissing her with passion. My stomach churns and I look away, until I hear the music get lower. I look back to see the camera go black again.
When it comes back on, the camera is in a different room. It's not as crowded, but I can hear everyone else in a different room. The time in the corner has skipped an hour and everyone looks more blazed. The camera pans the room, showing everyone. I see Alice in the corner on Jasper's lap, her head on his shoulder, looking the most sober out of everyone.
"So, Mike, it's your dare, dude," A guy says from behind the camera, obviously the one filming. It sounds like Tyler, but I can't be sure. Every one of his friends is sitting around in a circle, taking different things and drinking from brown glass bottles and beer cans.
"M'kay." The camera is on Mike as he scans the crowd, looking from face to face. His eyes stop just to his left and he grins.
"Edward," he slurs. The camera goes to Edward; my heart drops. His beautiful green eyes are red rimmed and he is taking some kind of tablet. His hair is a complete mess and he has Tanya hanging on him, biting all over his neck. Edward looks at Mike and tries to focus on him through his haze.
"Do your worst," he sneers playfully and everyone laughs. I even smile a little. Trust Edward to try and act tough, even at a game of dares.
"I dare you to…." Mike pauses and I can see him look at Emmett. Emmett seems to have passed out, snores loudly coming out of his open mouth. Rosalie, who is with Emmett, catches Mike's eyes and nods at him, telling him to continue. With one last glance at Emmett, Mike turns back to Edward.
"I dare you to take someone's virginity within the time limit I give you." I frown, but continue to watch
"What?" Edward chokes out, looking at Mike with disgust.
"You have to take someone's virginity before the day after Valentine's Day." Everyone laughs and my stomach churns. Why would someone want to take something so precious to someone for a dare?
"No way, man. I ain't no doing that." He laughs, but Mikes face stays serious.
"If you do, I'll give you my car." Mike looks smug and Rosalie whistles one long note, almost as if the car was too much for simply taking someone's virginity.
"Ah, man. You know I love your car," Edward whines and I smile a little. Seeing this fun side of Edward with his friends makes me feel like he doesn't pretend with me. Maybe I do know the real Edward.
Edwards looks around at everyone, almost as if he was at war with himself. Surely he can't be considering it? The car must mean something to Edward if he was willing to do this dare. Surely he wouldn't agree to it. Why would he want to take someone virginity?
"Who's?" he asks. Everyone has stopped talking and is now listening to the conversation taking place.
"Fatty Swan's." Mike smirks. Edward looks disgusted. My stomach churns. He wouldn't do that. Right? He didn't agree to it. Right? He would say no and tell Mike to shut up. I know Edward. He wouldn't do that.
"Okay, I'll do it."
Yes, I know you all probably hate me, but just stick with me for a bit. I promise things will look up for our favorite girl.
Thanks, RuthPerk.
Thank you all for reading and please leave me a review, even if it is just to yell at me.
