"I'm the reason my parents were killed, if that's not a monster I don't know what is" I say laying my head on his chest.

"No a monster would do that purposely, what happened with your parents was not in your control" he says kissing my forehead.

"What did I do to deserve you" I say hopelessly in love with the man in front of me

"Being born" he says with a smile as he leans down and places his lips on mine. I happily kiss back but pull away before things become a little two heated.

"Bella knows about us, not you just us" he says and I sigh. Doesn't she know that curiosity killed the cat.

"So what now?" I ask as we walk to our class. On the way, Alice jumps down from the stairs and hugs me.

"Happy Birthday Ember" Alice says as I hug her back. We separate as she hands me a box and I sigh.

"What did I say about gifts" I say

"Well I don't need to see the future to know that you'll love it" she says and I smile.

"Thank you" I say as Alice huddles up in Jasper and I internally 'aw' at the couple.

"Happy Birthday Ember" Jasper says lastly before walking away with Alice.

In English class, we're watching Romeo and Juliet and I can tell Edward is trying his best not to laugh at my teary state. I may be a powerful supernatural but I am very emotional. I hit him on the back of the head as I continue to watch the play.

"I'd hate to think so" I say

"for worse tragedies, oh Romeo killed his true love out of sheerness and stupidity, but I do envy one thing" Edward says

"Juliet is obviously perfect, if you like that beautiful kind of thing" I say with a hint of envy

"Not the girl, the suicide" he says and I give him a look making him chuckle and kiss my cheek before starting to explain.

"Its nearly impossible for some people, for humans. A little poison, a dagger to the heart, so many different options" he says and I look at him.

"why would you say that" I ask

"Because I had to consider it once,  I didn't know if I'd get to you in time. I had to come up with some kind of plan. " he says

"And what was the plan?" I ask him

"Go to Italy and provoke the Voltari." he says and my eyes widen. I grab his hand and make him look at me.

"If you ever try and kill yourself over me, I will make your ghost suffer" I say and he smiles.

"Now, who would like to repeat the last few lines of Iambic pentaamine just to show they were paying attention?" the teacher asks

"Mr. Cullen" the teacher calls out and I smile.

"a yes Mr. Burdie, oh hear while I set up my everlasting rest and shake the yolk of inauspicious stars from this world war of flesh. Eyes look your last, arms take your last embrace. And lips, known as the doors of breath, seal with a righteous kiss and dateless bargain to engrossing death." Edward says and I smile at our teacher's expression.

School had ended quickly, now I was getting ready to go to the Cullens house. Alice said I had to wear what was inside so I opened the box and gasped. It may have been a dress but it was gorgeous and luckily not a pastel color. 

Carefully taking out the dress I layed it on my bed and hurried to pair some items with it. 

Applying light makeup, I grab my bag and exit the house

Applying light makeup, I grab my bag and exit the house. Since no one was here, I used my speed and got there. Entering there front yard, I gently knock on the door and it opens revealing Edward standing there in a suit.

"You look beautiful" he says gently taking my hand. I thank him for the complement as he leads me to his bedroom. Once in he closes the room door as I lay my phone on his desk and take a seat on his reading chair.

"Why are you with me?" I ask 

"Because Ember your the most extraordinary person I've ever met " he says and I smile.

"If the Voltari knew about my existence, they would come after me. And you hiding it from them would end badly. And I can't stand the thought of them killing you" I say

"Ember, the only person who can kill me is you. I have nothing else to be afraid off. You are the only reason I wouldn't kill myself. I love you" He says 

"I love you to" I say back as the both of us hug. I sigh in content. I hear footsteps from downstairs and smile as Alice comes up.

"Its time" she says grabbing me by the hand and dragging me all the way downstairs.

I was greeted by a beautifully decorated living room with candles and all the Cullens dressed up. I smile at this and feel a tear roll down. Esme comes and hugs me, then Carlisle and then the rest of the family.

"Thank you" I say to them and they smile, well except Rosalie who tries her best to hide hers.

They were about to hand me a present when everything froze. I started trembling violently and looked up to see the Cullens trying to help me. 

Some of them were in shock at what was happening.

Soon I felt my ears ringing and I went to cover them but I felt a wet substance. Looking at it, it was blood.

 I looked up to see half of the family was kicked out and noticed Carlisle leading me to his office. I couldn't hear anything or see anything and soon, black.
