I jumped, my heart rate quickened its pace and my eyes darted towards the small window. It was a full moon tonight and there was a storm on its way. The gnarled branch of the big oak tree thumped and clawed its way down the window and my body shivered.

I hate this house. I thought to myself. It's an old house with thin walls and squeaky floors, it's always cold and the lock on my window is broken. As if on cue the tree attacked again and I twitched. Throwing the covers off me I slipped out of bed and pulled out the drawer of my night stand with excessive force. The sticky drawer resisted at first and then came crashing out spilling its contents on the floor and landing on my big toe. Surprisingly, a vast assortment of crude words came rushing to my tongue but I slapped my hands over my mouth and sat forcefully on my bed. My toe nail was turning an awful purple color and I could feel my heart beat throbbing under the now swelling nail.

It could have been the storm, or the full moon, or the fact that I just killed my toe, but out of the corner of my eye I saw something move in the window. By the time I turned to look at it, it had vanished. It couldn't have been a person…there's barely a ledge out there to stand on… I crouched to gather the contents of the drawer and the floor boards groaned in protest. Sssssh! I thought. Charlie is sleeping down the hall and the last thing I want to do is explain to him why I can't sleep. I can't exactly tell him I can't sleep because I have been dreaming of the amazing vampire whom I'm desperately in love with. The vampire who left me alone in the woods, who said he didn't want me. I cringed at the memory of those words coming from his perfect mouth. The worst part of it all was the fact that I could have sworn he was just standing in my window. I really am going crazy. I shook my head at my own stupidity as I dropped the last of the items in the drawer. To be honest, I couldn't remember why I had opened the wretched drawer in the first place.

I thought about trying to sleep but I was paranoid now…what if I hadn't been seeing things, what if he was outside, what if he still cared, what if he had come by to check up on me. You're being absolutely ridiculous. I tried to convince myself. I wanted to be able to let it go, pretend I had never seen anything, but I couldn't, I loved Edward, I would do anything to have him back, even just to see him tonight. I have to look outside. I quickly shoved the drawer in place and stood up, careful to avoid my throbbing toe as I walked. The old window frame was cold to the touch and the glass fogged from my breath as I peered nervously outside. I shoved the window open and a gust of cold air wafted in blowing my hair around my eyes, blocking my view. I struggled to get it out of my eyes and inhaled a deep breath of the cold air. It filled my lungs and cleared my head. Carefully, I leaned further out the window. See, I told myself, he's not here, all there is a nasty old tree and an empty back yard.. I started to close the window, fighting back the rim of tears threatening to spill over, but something stopped me. Movement. Something had just moved in the shrubs at the edge of the grass and that something was big, not the size of a raccoon or the neighbor's cat, no, this was human shaped. It moved quickly, so quickly that I could barely see it. I strained to find the shape again but I couldn't see it, what ever it was had disappeared. "Edward?" I desperately whispered, feeling foolish. Suddenly a thought struck me. What if it wasn't Edward, what if it was Victoria? Coming for revenge. I tried not to but I ended up slamming the window down and leaping back into bed like a child, hiding from the boogey man under the safety of her sheets. I was shaking and as soon as my mind wrapped its self around the idea that Edward was not there, I began to sob, My entire body shook, I couldn't breathe, I couldn't do anything except gasp for air and wipe the tears from my eyes, after about a half hour of that I couldn't stand it any longer. I leapt out of bed. "I don't care what's out there! Victoria you can just HAVE me!" I said, a little too loud. I wiped my eyes with the sleeve of my shirt for the hundredth time. Limping to the window I shoved it open, the cold air swirled around my room and knocked some papers off my desk. I didn't care.

I stood there, freezing in my Pajamas and I let the air filter my room, I let it carry my sent out side, down to the lawn and beyond the shrubs. I couldn't stop the tears anymore, at least I wasn't shaking. "Edward, please come back." I pleaded. "How could you leave me, you said you were fighting fate keeping me alive, so you gave up, let fate have me?" I could feel the ach in the pit of my stomach, the ach I had fought for so long, it was slowly creeping its way back into my body, and I could feel it taking over. In a desperate attempt to reach Edward I clambered onto my windowsill and reached out to the tree branch. I managed to grab on and I slowly climbed out onto the unsteady limb. I stumbled over branches and slipped on the icy bark but miraculously managed to stay up. I shivered against the freezing temperature and the tree crinkled as the weight of my body broke the tiny ice crystals forming on its surface. I had gotten to the lowest branch only to realize that it was still too high. I had never climbed this tree, or any tree for that matter. I was hanging for a minute or so, but my hands started to get so cold I couldn't hold on any longer I dropped to the ground, surprisingly landing on feet, but only for a short time. I heard a sharp crack and a dull ache began creeping into my foot. The pain in my foot was a welcome sensation compared to the devastating pain in my heart. I collapsed to the hard ground and rolled onto my side. The pain in my chest was stronger than ever before and I let it have me. I lay there for some time, letting the cold air chill me to the core and for an instant I thought, What if I died? What if I froze to death?
