FANFICTION COMPETITION ENTRY.

[ShootingStar]

(This is my FF from Angela's POV, I don't really like the title to be honest, but I couldn't think of anything else. I just thought, we always tell the vampires stories, but what about our lovely regular humans? Shouldn't they get their own perfect piece of forever as well? =])

 

 

 

 

 

Our storybook house was glazed in snowy, glittering icing, aglow with the twinkling lights Ben and I had strung up, he and I both balancing on a rickety ladder in hysterical laughter, the snow soaking our clothes through, I grinned at the memory and opened the door.

 

A lit candle stood flickering on the cabinet, beside a gorgeous bunch of roses.

 

Warmth spread through my veins as I read the note next to the candle, written in his messy script.

 

Because you make me a better person.

 

I smiled, and buried my face in the roses, the sweet smell made the moment almost surreal. I clasped them to my chest and walked into the living room to hug him, only to find another candle, another note.

 

Because you’re the first thing I think of when I wake up, and the last thing before I go to sleep.

 

I felt light on my toes, even after eight years, I still felt like my heart would burst every time he said how he felt about me, but he had never done anything like this before. I continued through the house, only to find note after note.

 

Because of the way you laugh.

 

Because of the way you look at me.

 

Because you’re the most beautiful woman in the world.

 

Because I can’t imagine needing anyone more than I need you.

 

Because I will love you always.

 

My insides felt like melted butter, it was glorious. I heard his soft breathing coming from our bedroom, and I raced to the door, my heart skipping.

 

Ben knelt on the floor beside our bed, a cautious smile written on his face.

 

“A-Angela..â€

 

My mouth opened slightly, to speak, then fell open like a goldfish as I realised how he was kneeling, I felt my eyes well up as my hands shook.

 

“Angela –“ He tried again. “For all these reasons, and every single other that makes me wake up every day and know I am the luckiest man on Earth, I will love you forever, you will always be the reason for my life. I want to grow old with you, and spend every waking second trying to make you as happy as you’ve made me. I love you...†He stuttered, a tear dropped down his cheek.

 

“I love you so, so much. Will you marry me?â€

 

I could do nothing but nod, the tears streaming down my face, as I bit my lip and threw my arms around him.

 

 

Outside, on the street, Edward Cullen smiled, at the thoughts he had just heard.

 

“What are you smiling about?†Bella asked, and squeezed his hand adoringly as they walked to her car.

 

“Nothing, I just realised I’m not the only one who got a happy ending†He said mysteriously, and kissed her forehead.

 

Bella shook her head, she was used to Edward talking cryptic nonsense about the things he heard in people’s heads.

 

Edward smiled, he couldn’t have wished anything better for Angela.

 

 

 

Abi Smith, age 16

You're right, we do under-value the humans =]

Love the happy ending!
