I miss you.
Bella was unnerved. Should she answer the phone, should she not? What would be the consequences? Obviously, she got up and did what she had to do. She held the portable phone to her ear with a shaky hand. In a sleepy, crackly voice she managed a "Hello?"
'where are you? And i'm so sorry, I cannot sleep I cannot dream tonight'
"Bella. Its me. Im sorry." Said Edward. The usual seriousness of his voice was nothing new to her.
"What do you want from me? You wanted me out of the house, and now you want me back? I'm done with this Edward, goodbye."
"WAIT. Bella wait. Victoria is looking for you, your not safe with the wolves! Please come back to me. If you want to live."
Many thoughts circulated through her brain. She decided to ask Jacob. "Hold on." Said Bella, running upstairs. "What do I do, Jake? He .out."
Jakes eyes wouldn't meet hers. They rested on the hardwood, his hands clenched into fists. "Go. Please. I'll see you soon enough."
Alice must of had a vision or something, because the Volvo was parked outside with an impatient-looking Edward in the drivers seat.
"Well.." Bella said, "Thanks for having me Jake. Thanks for everything." They embraced for what seemed like a millisecond, and he placed a soft kiss on her forehead.
"I'll see you later Bells. I promise."
The Cullen house was awkward as ever. Rosalie wouldn't even leave her 'sleeping' quarters, Jasper tried his hardest to handle the severe attitude of a pissed off Alice, Edward sat on the opposite end of the couch from Bella, and Emmett.. well, Emmett was Emmett. He was throwing a football around the backyard, asking Bella if she'd like to join. Kindly disagreeing, she went into the kitchen to see what Carlisle and Esme were up to. Carlisle looked up at her, still in his hospital scrubs. "You'll be safe here, for now. You must rest. Battle could begin at any time. Our nearby vampire friends are on the hunt for Victoria and will call us if they have anything. Alice hasn't had any visions. Please, sleep."
As much as she'd like to kindly refuse, her body was telling her otherwise. She trudged up the stairs and went into Edwards soft, victorian bed. She pulled the blankets over her and was peacefully drifting off when she felt someone climb in beside her. She wasn't so warm under the covers anymore.
"Sorry Bella. I miss sleeping beside you."
Okay, she thought to herself, i've been in TWO different beds with TWO different guys in the past hour and a half. Should I start embroidering a red A on my clothes?
Edward began to speak again. "I just wanted to tell you, I-"
"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?" Emmett shouted from downstairs. "Who do these italians think they are? GTL? What IS that? Im gonna make sure that Mike guy has a situation to deal with, all right.."
Edward chuckled quietly. "Sorry. He gets caught up in reality television. Anyways as I was saying, I love you. I sincerely apologize."
Bella looked at him and couldn't be mad at him for a second longer. She kissed him passionately and went back to sleep.
