Jade POV

The months passed and the Cullen's left with Bella, never to come back. Everyone on the reservation was ecstatic with the news and held a bonfire on the First Beach, lasting until dawn.

My relationship with Paul became very serious. So serious that we decided to move in together at his place. We both finished high school and went to college where Paul studied engineering, whilst I studied Biological Sciences.

When we finally graduated from college, Paul proposed to me in-front of everyone in the hall. I really thought that I would combust from the heat in my cheeks as he kneeled down in-front of me with a black velvet box in his hand.

"Jade, this is not the way I wanted to propose to you," Paul began when I cut him off.

"Yeah, no shit Sherlock," I commented making everyone laugh.

"But when I saw," Paul continued, "all thoughts vanished and I knew from the beginning, even when I first met you, you were the one for me. When I first met you, I was a hot-headed womaniser that didn't care about anything or anyone. Until I met you. The moment our eyes met, I forgot about everything and made everything in my life be about you. There is no day or night when I don't think about you and our future."

At this point I began to tear up. I never thought that Paul would be capable of doing something like this. Why did I ever doubt my feelings for him?

"What I'm trying to say, in-front of you and everyone here....is that I love you and want to spend my life with you," Paul said as he opened the box and showed me the ring, a beautiful smile on his face. "Jade Black, you are the love of my life and I cannot imagine my life without you. Will you do me the honour of becoming my wife?"

I heard shouts of 'Say yes' and 'yes' and many more which made the two of us laugh. Suddenly a microphone appeared out of nowhere in-front of my lips. I looked at our headmaster who shrugged his shoulders, urging me on to answer.

I leaned closer to the microphone and opened my mouth.

"Yes!"

Everyone literally screamed, cheered and clapped as Paul stood up and lifted me up, twirling us around as loud claps of approval and praise were shouted. I looked at him with so much love that I didn't care about anything else happening.

He put me down gently and put the ring onto my finger, making me gasp at how beautiful it was. It is a golden-rose ring with a lavender diamond with tiny diamonds in the band. How could Paul afford this? It probably costed more then our rent.

"I love you Jade Black."

"I love you too, Paul Lahote."
