Chapter 1: Confessions

My thoughts were racing, trying to find the right thing to say to Charlie. I tried to keep my shaking under control, but when I felt the car stop in front of the house, I felt a deep tremor run through my frightened body.

Edward grabbed my hand and lightly brushed his cold stone lips against it, making me shake even more. "Don't worry love. Everything Will be Okay." His deep topaz eyes gazed into my dull brown ones and instantly emptied my head of all worries

With new found courage, I slowly got out of the car and walked to what was sure to be my doom.

As I was getting ready to open the door, Edward took my arms in his and pulled me into his chest. " You know that I love you more than anything in this world," he whispered in my ear so softly I could just barely understand him. I could only muster up a nod.

It seemed like we stayed in each others embrace for hours, neither of us wanting to let go of the other, before I finally broke away and opened the door.

"Bells?" Charlie called out of habit more than curiosity, from his chair in the living room.

"Yeah Dad, its me...and Edward."

I paused looking to Edward for much needed reassurance.

He stroked my cheek and mouthed, "Go ahead."

I bit my lip and stared at the floor. "Ummm dad...Edward and I have something to tell you."

Charlie turned off the T.V. and walked towards us with a wary, knowing look on his face. I smiled sheepishly and racked my brains for something to say. I gripped Edward's hand tightly and began. "Char-Dad, you know how much I love Edward, and how horrible I was without him. Well...we've decided that we never want to be apart again."

Charlie just looked up at me confused.

"I guess what I'm trying to say is that...EdwardaskedmetomarryhimandIsaidyes!" I quickly lifted my hand so Charlie could see my ring.

Charlie's face turned a deeper red than I thought possible as he furiously pointed his finger at Edward. "GET OUT OF MY HOUSE! YOU WILL NEVER MARRY MY DAUGHTER!"

I couldn't control myself. My anger boiled over, and before I could even think to stop myself, I was screaming at Charlie. "How dare you tell him to get out! Did you forget that if he leaves I leave? I LOVE him, Charlie, and there's nothing that you can do about it. So, get over yourself and except the fact that we are getting married."

As soon as I was finished with my rant, I regretted my harsh (but true) words. I was about to apologize, but Edward spoke before I could look up.

"Charlie, I love Bella more than you could possibly imagine. And I know that I've left her before, but I will never leave her again; I couldn't live through it if I did. With all due respect, Bella is 18 and can legally make her own decisions, but I know that she would be a lot happier if you were there to walk her down the isle."

Charlie still looked angry, but now his face showed signs of grief and immense frustration. He knew he couldn't argue with Edward's sincerity. He stood there for a few minutes trying to act difficult, but finally let out a harsh sigh of defeat.

"Fine. I still think you are way too young, but all I care about is Bella's happiness, and you are what seems to make her the most happy. So, you have my blessings. But, I'm warning you Edward, if you ever leave her or make her the slightest bit unhappy again, you will suffer," charlie said reluctantly, his face still a little red.

I threw my arms around Charlie. "Oh thank you Charlie! I love you so much!"

"I love you too, kid, "he said in a gruff voice. "Have you told Renee yet?"

I looked down."No."

He chuckled and grabbed the phone. "Well I guess now is as good a time as any."

I grabbed the phone and trudged up the stairs, with Edward behind me. When we got into my room, he sat on my bed and I crawled into his lap. I dialed the familiar number and anxiously awaited the light, airy tone of my mother's voice.

"Hello?"

"Mom? Its Bella, I have some news for you. Edward and I are getting married."

I heard a gasp on the other end of the phone.

"Isabella Marie Swan, No you are not! No, no, no, no, no! You are too young! Why do you want to make the same mistake I did?"

"Mom, I'm not making the same mistake! I know that Edward and I were made for each other, and I never want to be without him again."

She sighed. "I knew this was going to happen, I guess I was just in denial. I could see how much y'all meant to each other when y'all came to visit. I'm not going to stop you, but I wouldn't mind if you waited until after college."

"Sorry mom, but I can't do that."

"Well don't say that I didn't try. Call me later with more details, okay? I love you Bella."

"Okay. I love you too. Bye mom." I hung up the phone.

I turned towards Edward and he pulled me into his chest. I lifted my head and kissed his neck.

"I'm glad that's over. I thought it was going to be a hell of a lot worse."

I could feel my bed shake as Edward laughed. "We better go back downstairs before Charlie thinks that we're up to something we shouldn't be doing."

I let out a sigh. "Okay." I could once again feel Edward's silent laughing.
