Sunday 29th September 2011

Today was a really good day. Rather than go out today we spent the day watching films. It was a nice relaxing day after such a busy week. Edward's family has invited us to dinner next week and if I am being honest I am totally petrified. I have no idea why because I have met Dr and Mrs Cullen before and they are both really sweet. I suppose because I am Edward's girlfriend I just feel like I have more to prove to them this time. Anyway back to our nice relaxing day. Edward had plans with his family and was really upset that he couldn't spend the day with us. I assured him it was fine and to be honest it was nice. I didn't have to dress up, we spent the day in our PJs sprawled out on the sofa.

I did miss him though. Things would come on during the adverts or something funny would happen in the film and I would think about how Edward would have liked it. I am beginning to worry about how attached I am to him. I mean that is not a problem so long as we are together but what happens when we break up. I hate to be a pessimist I really do, nevertheless I cannot ignore history. This is not the first time someone has showered me with love and affection only to take it all back when he was bored. I promised you more of my story so and I intend to keep that promise. Where did we leave off? Oh yeah, here:

I decided that I wanted all my homework done so that when he wanted to go out I would be able to. I was on top of the world and nothing could have brought me down at that moment. The good old days huh. Later that night he called me, asking if I was free the next evening to go to the cinema. Of course I agreed and this made me even happier. The whole next day I was on cloud 9, flying high. I went home from school and spent hours getting ready. I got dressed up as well as doing my hair and make-up.

My mum was so happy that I was finally doing something she deemed normal for a teenager – dating. She was nothing short of ecstatic when she found out who was taking me out. He was known around town for his athletic abilities and his mom was friends with my mom. When James came to pick me up he was just as charming as ever. He opened the car door for me and helped me into the car.

We went to the movies and he paid for the tickets. We went to see 'Life As We Know It'. We had a lovely time throughout the movie, and it still remains to be one of my favourite movies of all time. Even back then I had no idea that things would turn out to be the way it did. He complimented me all the time telling me I was pretty and sweet. Something should have twigged but it never did.

He dropped me off home and again was really gentlemanly. He walked me to the door and kissed me good night. The next day at school he held my hand around the corridors and sat with his arm around me at lunch. At that point in time everything was perfect. Too bad these things don't last.

That is enough about him right now. Maybe I should talk a little more about someone who deserves attention – Edward. When I found out about you I put the idea of dating on hold thinking that it wouldn't be possible for at least a few months. I was prepared for that, I understood it. What I was not prepared for was to meet someone like Edward and fall in love so quickly. I admit it. I am absolutely head over heels in love with him. That was totally unexpected.

For a while at least it seems as though life is settling down for us. We have a stable home, I am on my way to getting my qualifications, and we have a great guy who cares about us. I am not saying life is perfect because we still have our challenges but life is better than it has been in a while. They never said life was easy they just promised it was worth it – and it definitely is.

Lots of love

Mummy
