Edward and Charlie sat in the dining room saying nothing. It was very awkward while they waited for Emma  to get ready. Charlie looked to Edward before rolling his eyes and fiddled with the beer can in his hand.

" You know, I never got to thank you for saving my little girl." Charlie said looking to Edward seeing how it put a smile on his face." She could have died on that road, but you were there and now I have both my girls still. So, thank you."

" Sir, I would save her over and over again."

" Bella, I'm fine walking down some stairs."

" What if you fall and breaking something else ?" Bella said having the boys stand up and walk over to the to girls coming down.

Emma and Bella were to busy bickering to notice the boys. Charlie and Edward laughed a bit at the scene in front of them. Bella holding both Emma's arms while she had a very annoyed face.

" Bella, I'm not you. I can walk."

" Having a cast makes it worst."

" I think you make it worst." Emma said looking to her sister before looking to Edward." Hey, you ready to go ?"

" Wow. You look magnificent."

" Thanks. Alice lent me the dress. The cast is just-"

" Perfect." Edward said seeing it caused for Emma to both smile and blush. Charlie rolled his eyes, so Bella punched his arm lightly still smiling." I'll take care of her, Chief Swan."

" Ready Bella ?"

" I'm driving myself to the prom since your forcing me to go. Plus, Edward's your date i'm not third-wheeling." Bella said which made Emma laugh. She was ready to leave when her father stopped her.

" Hey, Emma, Bells. I put a new can of pepper spray in your bags."

" Dad."

" And, um you look beautiful." Charlie said with a smile seeing his twin daughters, who looked nothing a like, but sometimes had the same ideas and care for one another.

" Thanks." They said at the same time proving how they were similar ideas. They both left, Edward helping Emma in the car. He laughed getting inside it which confused her.

" What ?"

" Bella, is scared of you driving with me. I read her mind. She's scared of another car accident."

" That's my worried sister." Emma said smiling when she saw in the rear view mirror, Bella's truck. They got to the prom, Edward dropped Emma off near the entrance to rest her leg. Bella came over already parking her car.

" Hey. Be right back." Edward said and left while the girls smiled to each other about to talk when they heard someone.

" Bella. Emma."

" Jacob ?"

" Hey !" Bella said with a big smile on her face. Jacob smiled the same way and pointed to Bella.

" You look beautiful."

" You too."

" Are you crashing the prom or something ?" Emma asked cutting the tension between them.

" No. My dad paid me to come talk to you. Twenty bucks."

" Why ?" Emma asked seeing he walked over and sat next to her. Bella and Emma looked to him very confused.

" Just don't get mad, okay ? He wants you to break up with your boyfriend. He's just...He said, quote: 'We'll be watching you.'

" Okay. Well, tell him thanks ?" Emma said wanting to laugh, but she thought maybe it was not the time to do so. Why would Billy say that to me ?" And to pay up. It's only fair."

" Okay. Oh, let me help you."

" I'll take it from here." Edward said looking at Jacob like he was an enemy. It confused Emma a bit. Even more with Bella.

" I guess I'll see you around, Bella." Jacob said ignoring Emma and Edward before leaving. Bella waved goodbye to him and walked inside by herself. Edward smiled down to Emma while they walked carefully.

" Prom isn't bad so bad. Thought they would be a lot more girly girl's and booze smell." Emma said getting up to a place where they had to take their pictures.

" Smile." The lady said and took their picture. They walked into their prom seeing the loud music and the many people dancing. Emma looked around before laughing a bit.

" If I go to the dance floor. I'll die."

" I won't let that happen." Edward whispered while they walked around. Emma saw Claire and smiled. Claire saw her also and smiled from far excited to see her. Emma pointed to her dress before making an okay sign which Claire replied with a thank you from across the dance floor.

" Emma ! You wanna go ?"

" Yes, please !" She yelled getting outside to see a beautiful arch with people dancing inside. Edward took her hand which confused her.

" Shall we ?"

" You're serious ?"

" Oh, why not ?" Edward said before picking her up a little and resting both her feet on his. She smiled looking up to him." See ? You're dancing."

" At prom." She said and Edward could see the sparkle in her eyes. The other dancers soon left leaving only the two of them. Emma saw an open window and took it." Edward, why did you save me ? If you just had let the venom spread, I could be like you right now."

" You don't know what you're saying. You don't want this."

" You're right." Emma said seeing in his face, he looked a little hurt, but she shook her head." I don't want this right now, but some day I will. I want you. Always. I want to be a teenager now. I want to go to school, maybe even the beach, graduate, but you have to remember some day, I'm going to make the choice in being one of you."

" I don't want you to be. I don't want you to throw your human life away."

" I'm not. Me being a vampire can happen when I'm 18 or 19 or even 20. I get to chose. It's my choice. Not yours or anyone elses."

" Is that what you dream about ? Becoming a monster ?" Edward asked, but she shook her head.

" I dream about being with you forever. Knowing nothing can tear us a part and you won't be helping me with a cane or life support."

" Forever ?"

" Yeah, but right now, I rather live my human life in high school. I want to know my day's are counted for and spend it with Charlie, Bella and anyone who's not vampire. You just need to know, I want to spend the rest of my life with the boy who saved me." Emma said and in a heartbeat, Edward kissed her which made her smile into it and kiss back. It was like fire and ice when it came to them kissing, but Emma wouldn't trade it for anything. He laughed breaking the kiss which made her look to him.

" Let's start with now." He said which made her smile looking up into his gold eyes. Those eyes she stared into not long ago and fell into. The eyes that stared at her with so much love and protection.

" Yeah, let's start with now."
