{FORTY THREE}
AURORA FROST
Once James dropped me off I walked inside seeing my dad and Isla on the couch sleeping with each other. It made me smile a bit. I knew he was going to ask her to marry him soon and did I mind? No. Not really. Why? That's because after so long, he finally moved on from mom. He's finally happy and it made me happy.
"You know, it's true. People move on" someone spoke and instantly I turned around seeing Laila sitting on the counter with a smile.
"Well look who it is! You're not dead!" I spoke happily as she quickly got off the counter and hugged me. I haven't seen her in forever and it was just amazing to have seen her again.
"I haven't seen you in a while and I know. I know I should've came around but you know, me dating a wolf isn't exactly the best thing considering your boyfriend is a vampire that for some reason hates me" she laughed dryly as I gave her a sad smile.
"That's not true. He doesn't hate you" I spoke softly as she shrugged in response.
"You know he does I know he does. Honestly, it's fine. I don't really like him either" she giggled and I giggled too.
"Anyway, moving on. Edward told me what happened. You ran out because he didn't want to change you? No offense or anything but that's a really dumb reason to run out. And, on top of that, you hurt yourself. I haven't told Edward yet but, don't you know how heartbroken he's going to be? He's going to freak out Aurora. It's not good. Especially hurting yourself for something so small...especially that much..." she whispered with a sad look in her eyes. She looked like she was about to cry.
"Laila, before you flip out, even more, let me explain myself" I spoke gently as she nodded taking a seat back on the counter.
Gently I sat down into one of the kitchen chairs and looked up at her. Even if I was standing I would still have to look up. Again, I'm 5'2. She's like, taller.
"I know I shouldn't have done what I did and especially for something so small. It's stupid and I shouldn't have done that. Especially since I was getting better. Anyway, the reason why I did it wasn't because Edward said no. It was because he said he rather have me die a human and then him kill himself to join me in the afterlife. It sounds like nothing but he's willing to give up his sorta somewhat life so he can just be with me again. It's I guess romantic but it's stupid. It's stupid. Instead of letting me go he would kill himself. I understand him not wanting to change me and that's okay but I just don't want to live a full life with him but then have to be the reason he leaves everyone else behind. It's small and stupid I know but it's just...what happens in the afterlife when I'm dead and he soon joins me. Not because he died by some fatal accident but because he purposely pissed off the Volturi just to be with me. Trust me, I love him unconditionally but I can't be the reason he leaves his family. And what happens if we have a kid? I can't do that to him or her. That's why I did what I did. It was a lot to handle for me and I couldn't take it. On top of that, I started to think about Daniel...and Rose...and my mum...even my unborn child...all of them were taken from me in tragic ways. All of them died because of me and I just couldn't do it. I flipped out. I know, I shouldn't have done it but I lost it...I lost it and I'm sorry...it doesn't change anything but I'm sorry..." I whispered shakily as I felt her hug me tightly.
"Look. It's okay Aurora. It's okay. We all make mistakes but we learn from it. Now, I know James told you he had a surprise for you but that surprise isn't for me" she smiled as I pulled away completely confused.
"What do you mean? What is the surprise?" I sniffled as she looked upstairs smiling.
"Your surprise is upstairs. Kinda" she giggled as I gave her a weak smile.
"You're too funny" I giggled as she smiled in response.
"Yeah yeah yeah. Now go. Your present is waiting" she smiled as I nodded and ran upstairs quickly and once I opened the door to see Edward standing there with flowers and chocolates in his hands as he was in a tux.
"Edward...if you're going to take me out to eat I just ate three meals. James is already planning to fatten me up and give me to the evil witch in the gingerbread house and I don't need you helping him" I joked as he chuckled softly and smiled.
"No. It's more of a...date" he smiled as I looked up at him happily and then instantly looked down as he probably knew what happened too...shit.
"I-I-I'm sorry for hurting myself...I-I can explain just d-don't be mad" I spoke shakily as tears threatened to spill from my eyes. I was scared. Whenever I did something wrong Evan would hurt me and I was afraid he would too.
"Mi amore" he spoke gently as I watched him set the flowers and chocolates down. He instantly walked over to me engulfing him into his arms.
"I'm not going to hurt you, love" he whispered softly and kissed my head. "I came to take you out on a date" he whispered once more as his voice was gentle and smooth. It was...inviting.
"A-Aren't you mad...a-aren't you angry that I-I l-left?" I choked out between my light cries as my face was buried into his shoulder.
He sighed and started to pet my head as he placed another kiss on my head.
"Auri...I'm not mad or angry. I'm sad that you ran away like that and I'm sad that you hurt yourself like that" he answered sadly as I felt him gently rubbing the cuts on my arms and wrists. I felt his cold fingers going over the scratching scars too as it lightly stung.
"Sorry" he spoke gently pulling his hand away and laced them back in my hair as I didn't realize I winced from his touch.
"I-It's okay" I whimpered as he sighed gently and pulled away. Gently he lifted my face up so my eye could meet his eyes and ever so gently he placed a small kiss on my lips.
"I love you. So much" he whispered as I nodded pulling away as all I wanted was him in my arms right now.
"You mean everything to me mi amore" he spoke and suddenly picked me up carrying me to my bed where he sat down with me straddling his lap and my arms wrapped around his neck not ever wanting to let go.
"Y-You're not even disappointed in me...disappointed for hurting myself...disappointed for breaking our promise..." I sniffled as he shook his head and held me closer.
"I love you so much. You could never make me hate you as I would never feel disappointed by you. The only thing you can make me feel is happiness and sadness" he whispered softly as I felt him rub up and down my sides gently. It felt good.
"I love you too" I whispered back as he smiled and gently pulled away.
"Are you ready for our date yet?" he smiled happily as I gave him a nod in response.
"I just need to get dressed and-" I started but he instantly cut me off with a box that was beautifully wrapped.
"What is this? It's not even my birthday...or a holiday...is it?" I spoke in a confused tone as he chuckled softly.
"I can't give my beautiful girlfriend a gift? Plus, it's for the date" he smiled as I nodded slowly.
"Open it" he spoke with the smile clearly still on his face as I again nodded once more.
Quickly I opened it to see a very deep cut black one-piece swimsuit with millions of other holes in it. I looked at him confused a but as he only chuckled.
"Keep looking, Darling" he laughed as I nodded and moved the swimsuit seeing a beige champagne colored deep low cut dress that had these beautiful patterns.
"Uh, I mean no disrespect and I love them b-but, t-this is very...showy" I whispered as he laughed kissing my head gently.
"Alice helped pick so kill her. Not me" he joked and smiled. "Also, before you ask, it's for our date. Wear the swimsuit and then the dress. Okay?" he smiled as I nodded grabbing the clothes and got up walking to my bathroom and changed.
Once I came back out I saw as Edward was pacing around. He looked...afraid?
"Edward, are you okay?" I asked gently as he nodded and picked me up with a smile and before I knew it he ran out of the house with his vampire speed while I was in his arms. I giggled happily as I clung on tight smiling the whole way through.
A while later I was set down onto the floor as I was completely and utterly confused. I didn't know where I was at or what was really happening. But then, that's when I remembered I'm barefoot. Opps.
"You look confused" Edward chuckled as I couldn't help but nod as I continued to look around. My brain couldn't even fathom where we were at.
"I know how much you like the water and the things in it. I know how much you like pasta and carbs and I know that even though you hate yourself for eating it you don't care because it makes you, you. So, I decided to make you dinner. I don't expect you to eat since James had the bright idea to make you ripe for eating but, we could skip the dinner and just...swim" he smiled as I looked over at the lake seeing the clear blue lake and the small fishes swimming around.
"Would you like to go for a swim?" he smiled as I nodded instantly stripping off my new dress and ran into the water without saying anything more. I just wanted Edward. Edward and the cool clear blue water.
