After a long lecture about responsibilities from my father, I ducked out gracefully to go to bed. Mostly because I was waiting for a call, I rushed up over the stairs, and into the bathroom, turning on the warm water and quickly washing my face, removing all the makeup Alice had previously applied. Once I was finished, I patted my face dry and pulled my hair back into a ponytail, brushed my teeth, and then shut the water off. After putting everything away, I left the bathroom and headed towards my bedroom, where I unzipped the dress and wiggled out of it, resting it on the back of my rocking chair, dressing quickly in my flannel pyjamas.
I curled up on my bed, on top of the covers, and held my pillow tightly to my chest, I was conflicted with emotions, I was happy, of course, Edward made me happy, from the day I first met him online, to right now. And now he was my boyfriend. Boyfriend. I had a boyfriend. And he was actually an amazing guy.
But that's where my heart sunk. My first boyfriend, this is one of those times a girl definitely needs her mom. I sighed sadly and glanced up at the photo on my nightstand, of her and I, when I was only four. I wonder what she would think of him.. I bet she would have liked him. My mom liked everybody, but I bet she would love him.
My phone rang, snapping me out of my train of thought, I glanced down at my cell phone as Edwards number before I answered it, lifting it to my ear.
"Hello?" I breathed into the phone.
"Bella?" He asked, seeming worried. "Why are you crying?"
"I hadn't realized I was," I answered truthfully, sniffling and wiping a tear from my eye.
"Did I do something?" He asked cautiously.
"No," I was quick to assure him, "I was just thinking about my mom,"
"Oh, Bella I'm sorry," he told me, having known she passed on from a conversation we had a few months back.
"Don't be, I'm glad you called, I already feel better." I stated.
"Oh really?" He asked, teasingly smug.
"Yeah."
"I thought you didn't like talking on the phone?" He taunted in a soft voice, causing me to bite my lip.
"I could definitely make an exception." I answered, a grin growing on my face.
"Good, cause I like talking to you." He told me, causing me to laugh. "Can you get your computer?"
"Mhm," I replied cautiously, crawling out of bed and grabbing my computer off the desk, carrying it back to the bed with me, "why?" I asked as I sat cross legged on the bed, placing it in my lap.
"Log into facebook." He told me.
"Okay" I replied, booting my computer up quickly and opening the web browser, typing in Facebook quickly and logging into it just so fast.
I noticed immediately that I had a friend request and opened it up to see Edwards name. I accepted immediately.
"I just made a new friend!" I said, grinning. I heard him laugh.
"Me too, funny thing isn't it?" He told me, I clicked over to his page, and my heart sped up in overtime as I seen the photo of us, taken earlier, as his profile picture.
"Who is that with you in your profile picture?" I said, hiding my excitement in a teasing manner.
"My beautiful girlfriend, you should meet her." He chuckled.
I pressed my lips tightly together, a smile spreading across my face.
"Some people would say it's to soon, I don't think so." He went on to say. I clicked on the photo and seen he had the description set as a heart eyed emoji and a red heart.
He already had a bunch of likes, and pressing my lips together, I realized how popular he probably was. He had some comments there already. I didn't bother reading. I didn't want to. I reacted with a heart myself and then went back to my page.
"I've never been in a relationship before." I said, randomly.
He just laughed "and?" He questioned.
"I don't know," I said "I'm just saying."
"Do you think it's to soon?" He asked me.
"I feel weird." I admitted. "I know your heart so well, your mind, and I know you know mine, to the point I don't see you as a stranger at all. While we were talking all those months, all I could think about was being with you. So no, I don't think it's too soon. I just think it's weird, that a wish of mine came true. This never happens to anyone."
"I feel the same way with you," he paused for a beat, "you're my dream come true."
I blushed hard, I was speechless.
"Get some sleep, okay? Be ready for 10 tomorrow." He said
"Why?" I questioned.
"I wanted to go out for breakfast, I want you to come." He said simply.
"Okay," I said shyly, biting my lip.
"Night, beautiful." He said.
"Goodnight," I breathed. I waited a minute, hearing his breath on the other side, before I pulled the phone away from my ear and hung up, laying it on my nightstand.
I sat back, covering my face with my hands, I was grinning widely, my computer still sat on my lap. I might have been there five minutes before I heard a ding from my computer, it was my notifications. I opened it up to see that Edward had a request. I clicked it and accepted before I breathed deeply and flicked back to my profile, where it said single, it now said I was in a relationship with his name at the end.
I shut my computer quickly and laid it aside, moving the blankets down I curled up underneath them.
I didn't feel wrong about moving this quick, but I knew there were people who would have something to say about it.
With that weighing in on my mind, I turned over on my side and curled up, eventually falling asleep.

Edwards POV.
I woke up early the next morning, and had my shower, got dressed, and dried my hair, I was ready well before nine, and paced my room as I anxiously wait for the acceptable time to leave. I watched the clock tick to nine, and figured Bella would be up now, so I texted her ;
"Morning, beautiful."
She didn't answer until 9:30.
"Sorry, I was getting ready, morning, you."
I sighed, relieved before answering.
"Leaving now, see you shortly."
I told her, as I left my room and headed down over the stairs, shouting out to my parents to let them know I was going out for breakfast.
I opened my Facebook, noticing I had a couple messages and some notifications. Checking the notifications I noticed they were mostly about my photo and newly updated relationship status. Bella's friends, and my old friends from my old home.
I climbed in my car and hooked my phone up to my Bluetooth, and went on my way, I was barely out of the driveway when my phone rang, I looked at the number and grinned, answering it, and speaking through the bluetooth.
"Kate! Hey!" I greeted excitedly. My best friend. I was happy to hear from her.
"Who is she?" She said simply, sounding upset with me.
"What's wrong?" I questioned, frowning.
"You've been there for like a week! You already have a girlfriend? What happened to the girl online?" She questioned.
"Funny story." I murmured.
"Did you get catfished?!" She demanded, "I'll hunt them down."
"No, I found her." I said, my grin coming through into my voice.
"What?" She said shocked.
"I'm on my way to get her now, bringing her out for breakfast." I said.
"The Bella girl?" She questioned.
"Is indeed my online sweetheart."
"Whoa," she said quietly, "how?"
"It's a long story, but I'll tell you all about it later," I said as I pulled up in front of Bella's house, "I got to go though, I just got to her house."
"Okay, bye Eddie!" She said, "call me later, and have fun!"
With that she was gone, and I was climbing out of the car, walking up the path to Bella's door, I knocked on the door, waited a moment, and then was face to face with a beautiful Bella.
I took in her look and smiled, she was wearing converse sneakers, a pair of black jeans and an oversized black sweater with a faded superman symbol on the chest, her hair was pulled out of her face and in a ponytail but she had some falling from the sides, framing her face.
I smiled widely. She looked incredible. Even more so than last night, I think - I could tell this was more her, and that, that was beautiful.
"Good morning," I said again.
"Good morning," she replied, blushing.
"Ready to go?" I asked, holding out my arm for her.
She nodded her head softly and looping her arm around mine, she closed the door behind herself and we began towards the car.
