"Okay Edward, I get it. What is wrong?" I asked getting a little flustered.

"Bella…"

Edwards POV

I couldn't do it! I couldn't do it! How could I ask her something like that? So selfish. So immoral! What was I thinking? I went with the first thing that popped into my head. Something that was true, and we had been keeping from Bella. Just not the same.

"Charlie wants to see you." The words were a rush and it took her a minute to process them.

"Wha-What?!" She asked, jerking away from me.

"Bella, baby, you don't have to see him. That's why we didn't tell you. We knew you wouldn't want to see him." I was too good at lying, she looked like she believed it all. Of course it wasn't a lie.

"Oh. Okay." Bella looked severely disappointed.

"What is it, love?" She was looking down at her hands and looked as if she was about to cry.

"I- I don't know. I guess I just expected good news for once." I couldn't do this to her.

"Bella, that's not what I had to tell you." Her face lit up once again.

"What was it?"

"I want-I don't want to do it now. Can we go out tonight? Do it then?"

"Yes!" I could tell that she was more excited about spending time with me then actually getting to know what was up.

"OH MY GAWD!!!" Alice sprung through the door and Rose all but tackled her.

"He hasn't asked yet!" She yelled at her.

"Oh." Alice replied embarrassed.

"Asked what?" Bella spoke up. I wanted to kill my sisters at that moment.

"Nothing Bella." Alice and Rose quickly exited the room.

"No! What is it Edward!"

"Bella, love, nothing." She was angry. Furious.

"Edward Anthony Cullen, if you do not tell me RIGHT now then you will regret it!" Now I was mad.. How could she make me confess something like this? I was so nervous. No. I would not do it. This was stupid. I felt like a five year old thinking it but, I did not care.

"And what are you going to do Bella?" I was right in her face. She gave me the dirtiest look I had ever seen her muster up and the slapped me across the face. Recognition of what she was doing came too late as her hand collided with my stone cold face. The pain instantly hit her as she started to cry.

"Bella? Are you okay?" That was a stupid question. I knew she wasn't. And this was my fault.

"No." She said.

"Let me see it." She held her hand out in front of me and I gently kissed it. "Lets go see Carlisle."

"No." She said.

"Why?" I said beyond confusion.

"I want you to do it." Bella knew that I had many medical degrees but, she also knew that I would never trust my self to perform even the simplest medical task around her.

"Why?"

"Because I love you." She stepped closer to me and cried into my chest. All anger I held melt away right then as I held her to me.

"I love you more than you can imagine Bella." I kissed her forehead and hugged her closer to me.

"Why don't you just ask Edward?" She asked quickly.

"Ask what love?" Maybe playing dumb would help.

"Me to marry you." I instantly went rigid. Who told her? Alice? No. Not even Ally would do that.

"Who told you?" I asked. Calmly, not so much anger.

"No one. I promise." Bella was never a good liar and I knew by looking at her face that she had known all along.

"Well, will you?" I almost whispered.

"Yes."
