Epilogue – A Reason To Smile

A year later

Krystal's POV

"Alice Cullen," Everyone cheered when Alice's name was called as she came on stage to receive her diploma from the principal.

"Edward Cullen," More cheers erupt as Edward came on stage. A few more names have passed as I saw Nathan go up to receive his diploma.

"Krystal Diamond," I can hear my friends and family's cheers as I walked up to the principal and receive my diploma from him.

"Congratulations Krystal." Mr. Fulton said to me.

"Thank you." I smiled and went back to my seat as more names were called.

I saw Carly and Danielle later on the stage receiving theirs. Soon they were at the S's when,

"Lucas Stone." I cheered the loudest as Lucas went up and got his diploma. When he received his, he looked over at the crowd until his eyes met mine and smiled at me before he exited the stage.

"Bella Swan," More cheers came as Bella went up on stage.

After all the students were called, we waited until the principal gave the words. I can't believe this is happening; I'm graduating out of high school. It was rough throughout my education but I made through in the end.

"Students, rise from your seats." Mr. Fulton said as we did so. "Please move your tassels from right to left." We did. "Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the Port Angeles High graduates."

The whole student body cheered as we took off our caps and threw them in the air. We did it. We've graduated.

"WOOOOOOOO!"

Alice was sticking her head out the window of Edward's Volvo from the passenger's seat with her graduation cap in the air as Edward drove me, Lucas, Bella, and Alice home from graduation. I still couldn't believe that I graduated high school a few minutes ago.

"Alice, you keep this up, you might fall out of the car." Lucas teased.

"Like I could ever have an accident." Alice said as she climbed back in sitting next to me.

Lucas, who is sitting on my other side smiled at me and kissed me as I smiled back.

"Anyways, the real fun is gonna happen at home." Alice said.

Alice threw a big graduation party at our place. It would be a party for us but since Lucas and the others have been through high school already, it's a party technically for me.

I looked at Lucas who was looking out the window and he appears to a bit nervous about something. He's been acting like that for a few days.

"Lucas, are you okay?" I asked him.

"Yeah why?" Lucas asked looking at me.

"Oh nothing. Just want to make sure." I shrugged deciding not to push him further. If something's wrong and he wants to tell me, he'll tell me.

Edward was eyeing Lucas suspiciously through the mirror and so was Alice. They seem to notice something.

"You've been keeping your thoughts from us for the last few days with your aura on. What's going on?" Edward asked as he pulled over on our driveway.

"What, can't you have two less minds to read now a day?" Lucas shrugged. Edward continued staring at Lucas but shrugged off in the end as we got out. Something's really up?

We quickly got out of our gowns and soon met up with our family setting things up for the party. The house was soon packed with many students we invited especially Miley's friends who seem to be glad to be out of her shadow. Jacob and his pack also came along with my friends. Everyone was enjoying the celebration with the drinks, snacks and the music. Most students are excited to be here. Probably because no one ever gets invited to the Cullens house, hold on, our house. Most of the time, I've been with Lucas but other times I'm with my friends. All in all, it's the best graduation party that has ever been made.

Everyone left as night has fallen leaving me, Lucas, my family, my friends and Jacob's pack stayed. While everyone was cleaning up the place, Lucas surprised me when he took my hand and dragged me out to the backyard.

"What are you doing?" I laughed.

"What, can't a guy bring his girl out just to enjoy the night sky?" Lucas said.

"Of course you can but you got to at least warn me about it." I said as we watched the starry nights with our hands locked together.

There was silence between us while the only noise I hear are from inside the house as everyone was almost done cleaning up.

"Krystal," I turned to Lucas who was speaking. "You don't know how happy I am to have you in my life."

I smiled. "I could say the same thing." I said as Lucas nodded. To think that it's been over a year since Lucas and I have been together and we're still going strong on our relationship. Nothing has change between us and nothing will. I love Lucas with all my heart. I don't know what could make this even more perfect.

"You know throughout my life, I always feel like I was missing something. Something my family has that I don't." Lucas continued. "I always felt left out. I couldn't understand why and what it is I was missing. Then everything made sense when I met you. You've helped me find what I was looking for. You gave me all of you. I could never thank you enough."

Even as a vampire, I blush and I'm sure Lucas can see that from my aura. "I'm glad I was able to help you find what you needed." I smiled.

"That you did." Lucas said. It appears like everyone inside was listening since there was silence. They all seem curious to what's going on. "I now need your help with one more thing."

I was curious to what it is. Then Lucas got down on his knee still holding my hand with his eyes still on me. He pulled something out of his pocket and I gasped at what it was.

It was a diamond ring with two sapphire gems on each side. Oh my gosh, is Lucas doing what I think he's doing? If I was human, I would be holding back some tears if they came out. My unbeating heart was going million miles an hour.

"Krystal Sapphire Diamond, I love you more than anyone would ever love. I want to be with you for the rest of my eternal life. I promise to always love you now and forever. Will you do the honor of marrying me?"

I can't help but cry. "Oh my gosh Lucas, yes, yes, yes!" I cried as Lucas slid the ring into my finger.

As Lucas got up I threw my arms around him so hard while Lucas hugged me. I couldn't get rid of the smile on my face as I remembered everything that has happened between us. From the first day he came into history class, having lunch together for the first time, to our first date together where I found out that he's a vampire, to the moment we both confess our love to each other, to how he just lay there and watch me sleep next to him, and everything that has happen since. I can't believe that Lucas proposed to me. Remember how I said that my life is complete, well now my life is complete.

We broke apart and I looked at my ring that is on my finger.

"Where did you even get this?" I asked. There's no way he would spend so much money on this.

"It was my mom's." Lucas explained. "She left that for me in her will. That ring has been in my family for years and traditionally the bride-soon-to-be has to be proposed with that ring."

"It's beautiful." I said admiring it.

Lucas gave me a peck on the lips. "It totally matches you." I seriously can't stop blushing. I mean come on, my name is Krystal Sapphire Diamond. "Come on, I'm sure everyone is waiting for us to give out their wishes."

We came inside and saw everyone cheering at our big news.

"Congratulations you two!" Esme cried as she hugged us both.

"Oh my gosh congratulations!" Carly squealed as she and Danielle hugged me so hard.

"Dude, that's amazing. Congrats!" Nathan said as he hugged me too.

"Now I'll really have a sister!" Nessie said through all the hugging.

"I cannot believe you kept that from me!" Alice said slapping Lucas's arm. I guess she wasn't pleased that she was unable to see that from her vision.

"I had reasons." Lucas defended as Edward chuckled while giving him a congrats pat on the back.

"Well at least this means I can plan the wedding!" Alice said excitedly.

"Hey, don't leave me out of it." Rosalie said.

Carlisle soon appeared with a couple of bottles of champagne to celebrate. A toast of congratulations was made from everyone as we drank the champagne giving this to an amazing, beautiful night.
