Here's chapter 25, enjoy! Don't forget to review please! Means alot and makes me want to carry on writing :)

Bella's POV

As soon as his lips landed on mine, the world around me seemed to disappear. I had been dreaming about this moment for ages and it definitely exceeded all of my expectations. It was the most mindblowing and absolutely amazing feeling I have ever felt!

I was in complete shock when we pulled apart for breath and the whole room was staring at us just as shocked as I was. I of course went bright red. His family even looked to be in complete shock. Not that I'm complaining but like seriously why did he just kiss me in front of his whole family and the whole school. Yes we had been getting closer and closer these past few weeks but I really didn't expect this to happen!

'Your amazing Bella' he simply said like he didn't even realise that everyone was watching us. I didn't know what to say, I was in shock still and was starting to feel extremely uncomfortable with the stares we were getting. Edward got up and grabbed my hand and dragged me out of the room and took me back to where we were sat earlier.

He sat us down on the bench and held my hands in his. He had the biggest smile on his face which just made him look so young and happy that I couldn't help smiling back. His smile was one of the many reasons I had started to fall for him. He truly was amazing and I loved him but did he actually love me? What did that kiss mean? All these questions were swirling around my head and I started to become more overwhelmed.

'Bella I know I probably took you by surprise by kissing you like that but you have no idea how proud I am of you for standing up to Amy and the rest of them the way you did. I think it was the most bravest amazing things I have ever seen in my life. As for the kiss, I kissed you because I love you Bella. I really love you' Edward said.

HE LOVED ME?! I was definitely hearing things now. How could he love me, I know I love him but did he really feel the same way? God it was so confusing, I felt like my head was about to explode. So much had happened today and it was quite difficult to get your head around it all. Some parts like this moment felt too good to be true. I didn't have a clue what to say back to him. Should I tell him about how I feel? I decided to go with the truth.

'Edward, if I'm being honest today has been so unbelievable in so many ways. Ive wanted to do what I did in their for such a long time but I've never had the confidence or been brave enough to stand up to her but you and your family give me the strength to stand up because I knew that no matter what happened I would always have you all. I don't know what id do without any of you but Edward you have done more for me this past few weeks than anybody has ever done for me and that means the world to me. From the moment I met you that first time I fell in love with you Edward.' I told him looking him deep in the eyes the whole time.
Every single word I had just said was true. If I didn't have the cullens I don't think I would of survived any of this. I would probably still be with my father being tortured with his cruel words and his horrendous beatings. They had given me the strength I needed to get through each day. There wouldn't be a day that goes by that I won't remember everything I had been through but they give me hope that things will get easier and I will get through this but its just going to take some time.

'One thing you can be 100% positive about is that you will always have us no matter what happens and you will always be part of our family for as long as you want to be. You mean the world to all of us and I can tell you now that life would not be the same without you for all of us. I know today has been an emotional rollercoaster for you but I think you are dealing with it all amazingly. Bella I also fell in love with you the first I laided eyes on you and ive wanted to tell you for such a long time but I didn't want to overwhelm you' Edward said.

Another thing about edward I absolutely loved was how considerate he actually was. He was of course right about how today had truly made my emotions go all over the place. Not even an hour ago I was in Edward's arms crying and now I felt so happy that it felt surreal. I wanted to laugh at the fact that both of us fell in love with each other the moment we saw each other and have both been struggling to find the right way and time to tell each other.

'You know this whole two weeks I have been trying to find a way to tell you how I feel. I just couldn't seem to find the right time and to be honest I couldn't face the possibility of losing you if I told you how I felt. I know it sounds pathetic but I can't lose you Edward, ive lost too many people already and I can't face anymore pain' I said feeling a lump form in my throat. I didn't want to ruin this perfectly happy moment by crying but I needed him to know how much I actually needed him.

'Bella you silly girl, you wouldn't of lost me. I'm not going anywhere and neither is the rest of the family. I can promise you that love and I promise I will do everything in my power to ensure that nobody ever hurts you again. I will do everything I can to make sure you never feel the amount of pain you have had to deal with ever again. Your safe now Bella and I will protect you with my own life' Edward said pulling me to his chest and holding me tight and close. In his arms I felt completely safe and I never wanted to leave them ever again.

However his last words had me quite worried, the thought of anybody hurting Edward literally felt like someone was stabbing me through the heart. He promised to keep me safe but I would not let him or his family get hurt because of me. I pulled away from his chest and looked into his beautiful golden eyes.

'Promise me something Edward' I asked him.
'Anything love' he replied.

'I don't want any of you getting hurt not because of me so please promise me that you will be careful with Charlie. You have no idea what he is actually capable of and the thought of anybody hurting you or the others is horrible so please be careful' I begged him.

'Bella I promise. You don't need to worry about us, the only person I want you to looking after is you. I can't lose you Bella so promise me you won't do anything stupid or reckless' he said with so much worry in his voice.

'I promise' I told him and I hoped to god I could keep that promise.

'I love you Bella' he said and I felt my heart swell with love.

'I love you too' I told him before wrapping my arms around his neck and leaning in to kiss him. This truly was the best day of my life.
