🌛CHAPTER 17🌜

*°Eden's POV°*

I made my way downstairs, where Derek and Edward were awkwardly standing in each other's presence. Derek ended up volunteering to stay with me, until they knew of someone else that could come and live with me permanently, too protect me.

Derek still wasn't very open to the idea of vampires being apart of my life, but he respected my choices, and that was why he was my favourite out of everyone in my family.

Edward and Derek's heads snapped in my direction as I came down the stairs. "I'm just glad my bones healed so quickly, otherwise I would've been attending prom with two cast." I state jokingly, but they didn't seem to find it funny at all.

"You're perfect." Edward says, I could feel my cheeks heating up, he stepped forward holding out his arm, which I gladly took ahold of. "I'll take care of her, Derek." He says to my cousin.

"You better, or I'll rip your head off, with my teeth." Derek states, it sounded more like a threat.

"Derek." I scold him.

"I'm joking. Eden you look absolutely beautiful, and try to enjoy your night." Derek tells me, before letting me leave, so that we can get to prom.

When we arrived at the venue, Edward quickly went to park the car, when Bella and Jacob approached me.

"Eden." Bella spoke up, grabbing my attention.

"Hey, Bella, Jacob." I say with a small smile.

"This might be weird, after all I am Bella's date, but my dad has a message for you." Jacob says, staring at Bella nervously.

"What's the message?" I ask confused, as to why a strange would want to tell me anything.

"Just don't get mad, okay? He wants you to break up with your boyfriend. he said, quote, 'We'll be watching you'." Jacob says to me, I couldn't help but chuckle at that.

"Message received." I say, I mean I had already people watching me, a few more won't be a bother, I think.

Edward finally appeared at my side once more, as he and Jacob were having some sort of stare of. "You guys should enjoy your evening." I tell the two, before Edward and I started walking towards the entrance. "I leave you alone for two minutes, and the wolves descend." Edward states, making me smile up at them.

Before we could enter we had to stop for a picture, the very idea of it, was just hateful. "Why are you making me do this?" I ask him.

"Just smile." Edward says, as our picture was taken.

Inside everyone was already dancing and having fun. I spotted Angela and Jessica, waving at the two girl's who were enjoying themselves already.

"This is all way too much." I mutter softly,

"The prom is an important rite of passage. I didn't want you to miss anything." Edward says loudly, so that I can hear him over the music.

"It doesn't look like I'm missing much." I say pointing at my surroundings, Edward smiled down at me. We walked around to look around, and see what everyone was doing, but I was starting to feel anxious, with how close everyone was too me.

"Do you want to go?" Edward whispers in my ear.

"Yes, please." I say.

That's how we ended up outside by the gazebo, with Edward holding out his hand to me. "Shall we?" He asks.

"We shall." I say putting my hand in his, as he pulled me close to him, and we started slow dancing. "I can't believe I'm dancing at prom." I mutter, it was still a shock to me that I was here at all.

"But you are." Edward says, I saw everyone else leaving, which only left me and Edward out here, alone, dancing under the stars, and honestly I felt like I didn't deserve him.

"I've been wondering, Eddy why did you save me? I mean I'm glad you did, and by not taking my choice away, I'm even more grateful for that, but still why?" I ask him softly.

"Because I didn't want to be the one that ends your life for you." Edward says.

"As for now, I'm happy being by your side, just as we are." I say, staring into his beautiful golden eyes.

"I couldn't have said it any better." Edward says, as I placed my lips on his, stealing a sweet and gentle kiss. I could feel him smiling against my lips, we ended up dancing outside in the gazebo, most of the night, and I couldn't ask for a better way to spend my prom night.
