elijah mate

chapter 20

Elijah POV

Ever since Bella helped Carlisle and Esme things have been quiet around here and I must admit that I love life free of drama. Bella finally admitted that she was the one that kept messing with my food and things and I can't be upset with her for that. What I did to her was much worse and she had every right to get back at me. The two of us are finally back on track and we were able to work everything out and I finally forgave myself.

Carlisle and Esme bought a house near by to try and fix things up with everyone but Jasper has still been keeping his distance and we can all understand why. Jasper looked up to them and respected and loved them both and then they turn around and want to kill and innocent baby that isn't even born yet. It made them no better then our parents and Bella, Rose, and Emmett have been having a hard time but they have been trying.

Other then that things have been going well for everyone else and Bella has been keeping an eye out to make sure there aren't any surprises on the horizon and we plan to leave for our European vacation early in the morning. I think it will be nice to get away for a little over two months with just the two of us and Bella has been pretty excited so as long as I can make her happy then that's all that matters.

For our trip our first stop will be in Dublin where we will stay for a week and then we will travel all throughout Europe from London, Rome, Barcelona, Monaco, Venice, Tuscany, Florence and then finally in Paris where I plan to propose to her under the Eiffel Tower. I wanted to make sure we visited a lot of the places that Charlie said Bella always wanted to go to and I hope she likes it. We will spend a week and each place so that Bella can see everything that she wants in each place.

As for her engagement ring it was hard trying to come up with a design that fits Bella and that she will really like. Where she likes simple I want to get her extravagant and unique so I had Klaus help me to come up with a design that will fit both simple and unique. Hopefully she will approve and if not then we can always come up with a design together that she will like better.

Since Bella will be queen of the supernatural Klaus and I came up with the idea to make her ring into the shape of a crown. It is gold with diamonds all the way around the bottom of the crown. It has a lapis lazuli stone in the center of the crown for when she makes the transition. Since she won't really need the lapis lazuli stone Klaus thought it would be a good idea for her to have one anyways. I thought it was a good idea and we would at least have similar stones in our rings.

Bella and I decided to stay at our house last night because everyone wanted to set the Family house up for the graduation party tonight and it also gave us some very needed alone time. Bella got a call earlier from her grandmother telling her that Renee had arrived at her house for Bella's graduation and let's just say that Bella wasn't too happy at the moment. At the end of the day I can honestly say that she has every right to be upset with her mom since they haven't talked since she found out she is a witch and Renee has the nerve to show up for her graduation like it's nothing new. Drama has arrived again.

Bella POV

Out of all of the days for Renee to show up unannounced she picks today my graduation day. We haven't talked since the day I found out I was witch and I still don't know how I feel about her. She's never really been there for me when I've needed her most and I took care of her more then she did of me. Now that I am finally happy with my life and new friends and new family she shows up out of the blue.

My nana asked me to come over and talk to her and the only reason why I'm even going is because my nana asked me. I'm glad Elijah is going with me because I know I'm going to need his support to be able to deal with my mom and that's no joke. I decided to go ahead and get my clothes that I'm wearing for graduation on before I leave because there is no telling how long it will take.
