Edward Pov:
Our senior year. It all went by so fast. Sure there where times when it all seemed to far away, but now that I look over all four years of high school, it all seemed to go by so fast. Maybe it was because I was so wrapped up in Bella to notice all the things going on around me. High school was hard. Not the school work, because Bella and I seemed to understand the curriculum easy enough. But the people were hard to deal with everyday. There where times where girls would hit on me or guys would hit on Bella and that would further complicate our relationship. But we didn't let that get in our way. We knew how we felt about on another, and trusted each other not to hurt on another's hearts. There where even times where Tanya and her group of girls would try and split us up. But that just made themselves look even stupider than they already where. As impossible as that may seem. No matter how much trouble Tanya and her group caused it seemed fruitless because of how everyone knew how she is and how she can be. No one believed any of the lies she tried to spread around, or whenever she tried to get Bella to believe I was unfaithful during our entire relationship, Bella just laughed in her face. Mostly because she tried to make Bella believe I was cheating on her a certain day but whatever 'day' I was supposedly 'cheating' I just happened to be with Bella that day, thus proving her accusations wrong every time. Everyone knew that Bella and I where almost always together. We lived together for heavens sake! Plus whenever Tanya tried to mess with Bella, Rosalie would take no crap and beat Tanya up whenever she took it too far. Rosalie would get in trouble but she insisted that it was cool, as long as she got to teach Tanya a 'lesson'.
Bella still misses her parents, and cries from time to time whenever she misses them too much, but she is way better than she was when she first got the news. Whenever she would start to cry, I would hold her and just be there for her. Emmett likes to tease me about how 'whipped' I am, but he wasn't any better when it came to Rosalie. I know Bella is the one, my soul mate. There was no doubt at all. I could just feel that she was the one. The one I am suppose to spend the rest of my life with. So, with this knowledge, and with everything in me telling me that this was right and is what I was suppose to do, I was going to propose to Bella. I know she would want to wait to actually get married, and I was more than fine with that, since we where going to college soon, but I just wanted her to be mine, officially, by putting a ring on her finger. I could just remember the conversation I had with my parents when I told them…
~Flashback~
I had to tell them, even if they don't approve they have to know.
"Mom! Dad!" I called.
"In the kitchen sweetie!" I heard my mom yell.
As I entered the kitchen I saw my mother standing on one side of the island and my dad sitting on the other side, facing each other talking. They saw me approach, as I took a seat next to dad, trying to find the courage to tell them.
"What's up honey?" My mother asked.
"Okay, well there is something I want to do, that I have been thinking about over and over for a while now. And I wanted your guises blessing."
"Okay, well what is it son?"
"I want to ask Bella to marry me." I quickly continued, afraid they will start to lecture me on how young we are. "I know we are young and still in high school, but I plan on proposing after our senior prom, and we wouldn't have to get married right away, we would wait after we get settled in college, or even after college. Until we get jobs, and settle down, whenever, I just feel like it's the right thing to do. I know that Bella is all I am even going to want and need. I feel it. I feel that this is what I am supposed to do."
My dad looked at my mom and they seemed to have some sort of silent conversation by just looking at one another. When they seemed to be done they looked at me and my dad started talking.
"Are you sure this is what you want?"
"Yes, Bella is who I want."
"Then we support you, 100%. As long as you're sure, and you know all the responsibilities that come along with being married."
"I do. And I am sure. I have known Bella my entire life, and I want to be with her for the rest of my life."
"This is wonderful!" My mother squealed. Now I know where Alice gets it. "I knew that you two would end up together. Renee and I both knew, when the day I met her and Charlie on the day you where born and when we saw you and Bella in the nursery hold each others hands, we both just knew that you guys where meant for each other. We talked and talked endlessly about it, and how we couldn't wait to raise our grandchildren together…Gosh I miss her." She trailed off in a sad tone.
"I know, I do too." My dad said as he went to hug her.
After that I left to find Bella and see what she was doing. That conversation went better than I thought…
~End of Flashback~
I was so glad they were supportive, because I knew that it would be hard to do it if they where against it. Tonight is the night. Tonight is our senior prom, then tomorrow we have our graduation ceremony, and then we are officially done with high school. I am also proposing to Bella tonight, after the prom. I'm taking her to this place I found, when I was hiking in the woods exploring not so long ago. It was enchanting and beautiful, just like Bella. And I was going to save it until the right moment to show it to her. Tonight was the perfect time to show her. It was going to be hard to get there with her wearing her prom outfit, but it was going to be worth it. I'd carry her if I had to. After putting on my suit, I went downstairs to wait for Bella. Once down there I see Emmett and Jasper on the couch talking, probably waiting for Rosalie and Alice. Sitting down I join in there conversation. Tonight everything would change.
Bella Pov:
Tonight was the night. Everything was going to change tonight, I could just feel it. Edward was taking me to prom and I couldn't wait. I couldn't wait until he saw me, I couldn't wait until he held me while we dance, I just couldn't wait period. But I couldn't help but feel nervous too. What if Tanya did something to ruin this night? What if my klutziness gets in the way and I hurt Edward in the process? What is if I fall down the stairs? This was why I my leg would not stop shaking. Alice and Emmett were coming too even though they were juniors, because they were going with Jasper and Rosalie who happened to be seniors. Alice saw me shaking as she was doing my hair and said,
"Will you stop, everything is going to be fine!"
"But what if-"
"But nothing! You will shake off those nerves and have fun tonight! Or so help me I will drag you on one of my big shopping trips!" Just the thought gave me shivers.
"Alight…" I said defeated.
Once she was done with my hair she finished my makeup and told me to get in my dress while she got Rosalie ready. When I finished getting dressed I sat on Alice's bed and waited for Alice and Rosalie to be done. When they entered the bedroom, they both looked great. Alice looks like some sort of pixy/fairy thing in her teal strapless short chiffon dress. The bottom ended in ruffles, and around her waist was a flower. The length of the dress made her look taller despite her shortness. With the dress she wore teal and black ankle heel sandals, a green, blue, and teal butterfly necklace and earrings, a teal bracelet, and a blue moonstone ring. She had painted her nails, and her makeup was bold and would most defiantly stand out. Rosalie looked like a siren in her red strapless draped gown. With that she wore red patent leather bow sandal heels, a gold embossed heart necklace, and a 'rose' ring. Her makeup was done to give her that 'cat eyes' look, and a red lip, and her hair was long blond and wavy.
"Wow you guys look amazing!" I said.
"Thanks but Bella you seriously look stunning. Have you seen yourself yet?" Alice asked.
"No not yet."
"Well then look!" Alice said while pushing me towards the mirror.
When I looked in the mirror, I honestly didn't recognize myself. I wore an white A-line Strapless Empire Floor-length White Chiffon Backless dress that had silver sparkle lining the bodice, with white strappy heels with silver sparkle on the strap near the toe, pearl ring, a diamond bracelet, and a diamond pendant necklace. My hair was curled and pulled back with a diamond clip, and my makeup had silver shimmer eye shadow, my eyelashes top and bottom where culled to make my already big brown doe eyes look even bigger and stand out, and my lips were a shimmery candy apple red. The whole outfit gave me a heavenly/innocent kind of look.
"Wow…" I said in awe.
"Yeah, if we weren't best friends I would so hate you right now." Rosalie joked.
"Yeah you probably would." I laughed.
"Okay let's go! We don't want to keep the boys waiting." Alice said.
Rosalie and Alice went down first and I stayed behind trying to get a hold of my nerves. Once I was sure I was okay, I went down the stairs slowly, trying desperately not to trip. When I got in to everyone's line of sight I heard a gasp. I looked and saw it was Edward with his jaw slacked. That made me smile, and when I did I heard him mutter a 'wow'. When I looked at him my breath hitched. Edward was wearing a suit and it made him look so…debonair. Just looking at him made me feel so lucky, just to have him in my life. I still couldn't believe that he was mine. When I reached the bottom of the stairs he pulled me into his arms.
"Bella you look…angelic."
"Thank you, you look handsome yourself." I said smiling up at him.
"Okay everyone lets go!" Alice and Emmett said at the same time. Huh, must be a twin thing.
"Wait! I want a picture!" Esme said, gathering us all together.
Edward Pov:
Once we where done taking the picture, we all left in our cars. Since Bella's car was nicer we took hers, but I insisted on driving. Alice and jasper took Alice's new Porsche, and much to Rosalie's irritation, Emmett took her in his new but unsuitable for prom, off road jeep. Once we got there, the parking lot was packed. As we entered the gym everything was decorated to its theme, The Enchanted Forest. The party planning committee thought it was clever given the fact that Forks is right next to a forest. Now that I see the entire room I couldn't help but laugh at how much Alice seemed to fit in with the theme. After we got our drinks and talked for a bit I asked Bella to dance when 'Flightless Bird American Mouth by Iron & Wine' came on. As we danced slowly Bella rested her head on my shoulder, and I buried my face in her hair. By this time we were very close and holding one another very tight slowly swaying to the song.
"Bella I love you." I whispered close to her ear.
"I love you too Edward." I heard her whisper. It was a perfect moment.
As the night wore on I could tell that it was time to go. I asked Bella if she wanted to leave, and she said yes. When I drove past of where we were supposed to turn to go back to our house, she asked me where I was going.
"It's a surprise." I smiled crookedly at her.
Once we got there it was almost dark, just about Twilight. I got out of the car and went over and opened Bella's door and helped her get out.
"What are we doing here?" She asked.
"We have to hike it from here. Come on."
"Wait, are you sure? I'm wearing heels, by the time I get there it will be morning and I'll probably have broken my foot."
"Okay hop on." I said turning my back to her.
"Are you sure? What if I'm too heavy for you?" She asked concerned.
"Are you saying I'm weak?" I said in a shock tone, pretending to be offended.
"No! No! That's not what I meant, I'm sorry-"I cut her off,
"Bella its okay I was only joking." I laughed. "Now get on." She didn't say anything else just hopped on my back and wrapped her legs around my waist. As we were walking I couldn't help but notice how light she was. When we got there it was still light out, which was good because I really didn't want us to walk back in the dark. As Bella walked into the meadow she gasped out loud. It truly was a magnificent sight, the soft dark green grass, the purple and yellow flowers scattered all around forest floor, the trees surrounding the meadow making it look all the more secluded, and the fog that encased the floor making the entire thing look mysterious and enchanting.
"Oh my god, this place is beautiful, how did you find it?" She asked in awe.
"The one time you were too busy shopping with Alice and Rosalie, and Alice insisted we give each other some space and told me to go away. So I went hiking and stumbled upon this place and I have been waiting for the right moment to show you." I confessed.
"What makes this the right moment?" She whispered. Well, here it goes.
"Because of this…" I said then went down on one knee. I thought of all the things to say to her like how much I loved her and how much I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her, but I had the rest of our lives to show her that everyday. Right now I was too eager and just wanted to ask her already so I could get her answer.
"Will you marry me, Bella?" I asked with all the love I had for her in my voice.
I heard her breathe hitch and then she stared at me wide eyed. Just by looking at her I was afraid she was going to say no, but then she smiled with love in her eyes and said the one word I felt like I have been waiting forever to hear.
"Yes." She whispered.
I couldn't help the big smile on my face. Grabbing her and twirling her around and around, I laughed with delight and Bella started laughing with me. When I set her down I grabbed her head in between my hands and kissed her with love and passion. When pulled her away I said,
"Bella I love you. You have made me the happiest man alive. And I know that your concerned since we are going to college in the fall, but we don't have to get married right away. We can wait for as long as you like. It just feels like the right thing to do, and I want nothing more than to spend the rest of my life with you."
"I want that too. I'm glad we both are going to the same school and we won't be separated. And Edward, I love you too." She said then smiled her heartbreakingly beautiful smile.
After kissing for a while we decided to leave since it was getting dark. By the time we got to the car it was starting to sprinkle and was now completely dark outside. We were almost home and it was poring down rain and I had to turn the window wipers on higher because I couldn't see a thing. It was raining so hard I could see a car that for some reason was in our lane coming straight for us.
Bella Pov:
As Edward was speeding down the road like he usually does, I stared at my ring in admiration, it fit me perfectly and I couldn't wait until the day where I get to call Edward my husband. I am just so happy. Probably the happiest I have been since my parents died, and Edward was to thank for that, for my happiness. Edward was my soul mate and I couldn't wait until we got to spend the rest of our lives together, have his children, and grow old with him. I was so caught up in my thoughts I didn't see the car in our lane. I saw Edward turn the wheel sharply and miss the car that was coming for us, but that didn't leave us out of the blue. When he turned away from the car, our car went off the road and right into a tree. Before we crushed into the tree I heard myself scream,
"EDWARD!"
Then I felt my body slam into something on impact. As I felt the pain traveling over all of my body, I looked over at Edward to see him passed out and covered in blood. I sobbed then stared to cry harder, partly because of the excruciating pain, but mostly for Edward. I looked down at myself and saw my white dress covered in blood and my engagement ring was covered in both Edward and I's blood. I held onto Edward's hand.
"Edward" I called to him in a small voice. He didn't respond. I tried again and still nothing. Eventually the pain became too much and I felt myself slip into darkness, never letting him go.
AN: What do you think? I am thinking this story is almost done. Maybe, I am still thinking over what to do. Sorry it took too long to get this out. I had it almost done, but my computer crashed and it erased everything I had been working on. So I had to start all over.
