Whoa tons of homework this weekend
Whoa tons of homework this weekend. But it's over and done with. This is something that just popped into my head while I was listening to music. I hope you like it. it's in Edward point of view. For my Fans on Always Here I will make that in Edward's POV but I still have a lot of work to do on it and I really wanted to get this story out so here we go.
Enjoy!
It was a foolish childish thing to do, but I couldn't help it. I wasn't really running away I was just taking a break from them. My family always had arguments. Mostly among the younger siblings Esme and Carlisle never fought.
I mean they weren't really my siblings. We weren't blood related just by heart. Still the fights they got into were impossible to withstand. I liked the quiet and calm of the road. It was nice and secluded.
I didn't know where I was planning on going but I didn't care really, just somewhere else. I came across an empty park. The moonlight cast shadows across the cool green grass. I parked and stepped out of the car.
I walked over to a nice grassy spot and laid down. I looked p to the sky and just laid there. I suppose I lost track of my surrounding because when I heard a twig crack I jumped up to a sitting position.
I looked around my dark surroundings to wear a girl was standing looking at me with wide eyes. "I'm sorry I was just…I'll go," she said and turned around. "You don't have to. Nothing states the park is mine," I chuckled and she turned.
I studied her. She had wide doe eyes the color of melted chocolate. Her cheeks were a faint pink and her long straight hair was tied up in a low ponytail. She was a pretty girl I suppose. She had somewhat of a girl-next-door look to her.
She laughed and the pink on her cheeks darkened. The moonlight made her look almost white so I guessed she must have been very pale in regular light. She took a step forward and heisted.
"Edward Cullen," I said. She smiled and took another step close to me. "Bella Swan," she said. Huh? Bella seemed to fit her well. She walked closer and folded her self on the ground a few feet away from me.
"so why are you here?" she asked with a smile. I raised an eyebrow at her confused. "Well for instance I come here whenever my mom and dad get into an argument, it give me peace?" she said with a shy smile.
I laughed and lay back down on the grass. "I supposed I come here for the same reasons, only I doubt my parents ever had a fight. My siblings sometimes have a hard time getting along though," I mumbled.
"You're lucky," she said. "How so?"
"I've always wanted a younger sibling," she said looking down at her faint hands. It was silent for a moment except for the soft music of crickets.
"We'll I suppose I am. But I was also born a single child," I said. I had no idea why I was telling this girl my life story but I guess it never really did matter because we sure weren't going to stay in the area long.
We had to move yet again because of Carlisle's job and Jasper and Emmett weren't too happy about it. "So you're the oldest," she stated. I laughed and shook my head.
"No, not exactly," I said and turned my head to gouge her expression. Her brows furrowed and she seemed confused. "What do you mean," she asked.
"My parents died when I was a child. Carlisle and Esme are my foster parents. They also foster four other teenagers," I said sadly. "Oh, I'm sorry for your lost," she said. "Ah, I don't remember them too well," I said shrugging it off.
I heard her get up and walk closer to my side. Hesitantly she lay down on her side. Resting her head on hand. I looked up at her and the moon light shedding shadows on her face.
"Do you siblings fight often?" she asked. "Sometimes, not always," I stated staring in her eyes. They were warm and inviting and clear. They were very pretty eyes. "I come here all the time, wonderful place to just come and think, no?" she said her eyes bright.
I turned my head back up to the sky and smiled. "Yes it is perfect. I'm sorry I took your space," I said. "Don't be, tonight I wasn't alone like others," she said. I turned back to her. I took in her face again and noticed that she was quite pretty.
She had an earthy look to her. She smiled at me and I couldn't help but form the same grin. Her eyes widened slightly and her cheeks turned an inviting shade of pink.
I sat up quickly and got to my feet. "I should really go, my family might worry," I told her and turned to walk away. "Will I see you again?" she asked from behind me. I smiled and turned around. "I'll meet you tomorrow. Right here the same time," I said and she smiled.
I shouldn't have told her that. It was better I never made connections with the way I jumped from family to family place to place but I couldn't disappoint her.
She smiled and nodded and I walked away to my car.
When I got home the light in the house were turned off and all was quiet. I opened the door slowly and looked around. No sign of anyone. I quietly climbed the stairs and went to my room. I stopped when I reached my door. In a pretty curly scrawl there was a little note.
Edward don't worry, I covered for you. Esme and Carlisle just think you went to bed early.
-Love Alice
I smiled and pulled the sticky note off of the door. I opened it and stepped into my darkened room. I closed the door behind me. I changed out of my jeans and laid down on the bed.
I laid on the bed and stared at the ceiling. I closed my eyes and was met with an image of Bella's face. I barely knew the girl and yet she was stuck in my thoughts.
The next morning went by with out any arguments only a tense silence. I shot a glance at Alice who sat with her head down avoiding everyone else. She stirred at her now soggy cereal and rocked back and forth slightly. Oh no, not again.
Alice had a tendency to see stuff. She explained it to me and I could picture it sometimes. She said she would go off in a daze and suddenly see people she didn't know doing who knew what.
Her eyes were close and she just kept moving back and forth. I was the only who noticed. I stood up and grabbed her shoulders. I stood her to her feet and led her out of the kitchen into the empty living room.
I was the only one who knew of Alice's visions as I called them because whatever she saw usually ended up happening. Alice and I had been together longer than any other of the family. We were first together when we were ten and I had never left her side no matter how many family hops we did.
Alice's visions were usually the reason we ended up with a new family. The Cullen's were a great couple and we hoped to stay with them for quite some time. So far I was the only one who knew of the visions and was able to take her somewhere private when they happened.
Sadly she never knew when they were coming. They would come and go and she could never keep them away. This one didn't seem like a bad one. When they were bad she would scream and cry but this was a good one. She was only rocking back and forth and humming.
Alice was afraid to tell anyone because when we did they usually sent us away. So after a while we learned to keep it a secret until the family found out there was something quite not right with Alice.
Alice's eyes opened suddenly and she looked at me. "Where am I?" she said and looked around. "Oh, another one huh," she said. I nodded and she looked down ashamed.
I put an arm around her shoulder trying to comfort her. I was glad Alice and I had each other to help suffer the hardships of being a teenage foster child. She looked up at me and suddenly smiled.
"I know where you're going tonight," she said and I froze. I was going somewhere tonight? Oh yes of course but I was hoping on doing that in secret.
"She's pretty," she said with a grin and I looked away. My heart beat increased a bit at the mention of Bella. "I'll keep cover for you," she whispered and I smiled. "Thanks," I said and she grinned.
"Promise me that when I go. You'll stay in your room," I said just in case she had another vision and I wasn't here to disguise it.
She nodded and I relaxed a bit. One less worry off my back. "So where are we going?" I asked and she looked up at me with sad eyes. "A town called Forks," she said. I sighed. "When?"
"Um, well Carlisle said he's going to pack today and then we should be heading out today," she said.
"All of us?" I asked. She nodded and my heart swelled. Carlisle was actually going to keep all of us. No one had done that before. We had been living with the Cullen's a little over a year now. When Alice and I had come, Rosalie, Emmett and Jasper were already living with them.
They had fostered five kids and weren't going to send us away when they moved. I really did like the Cullen's, but I didn't dare care anymore for them. I learned to never ever get attached with foster parents or anyone living with them.
Of course Alice had decided to ignore the rule completely. She had certainly grown attached to Jasper.
I sighed and headed to my room to pack.
Later on that night when everyone was asleep I snuck out. When I got to the park Bella was sitting against a tree trunk eyes closed while the wind blew at her hair. It was tied with a barrette so only had was picked up to keep away from her face.
She really did look beautiful. She opened her eye slowly and she looked at me. A small smile playing on her lips.
"So you came," she said. "Did you have doubts?" I asked though it was clear in her eyes. Yes she did. She nodded slightly and I walked toward her. I sat on the ground next to her and she turned her head toward me.
"You shouldn't, I told you I would come," I said sternly. She shrugged and smiled. "How could I be sure. I only met you yesterday," she said. I laughed.
We talked for a while. I found out her parents were going through a divorce. I told her how I was moving. I learned she was a book worm and she was extremely clumsy. I laughed when she described an incident in where she had accidentally knocked down the setting to the kindergarten school play.
We talked for what seemed like hours until I noticed it was time to go. I stood up quickly and she stood up along with me. "Leaving so soon," she said in a sad voice.
"We've been here for two hours," I told her and she blushed a light pink. "I guess this is like a permanent goodbye," she said and looked down. "I guess so, but…" I trailed off and she looked up waiting for the rest of my response.
I grabbed her chin lightly with my finger and leant in slowly. Her eyes widened and her lips parted ever so slightly. I pressed my lips to her and it was like a shock ran though my body.
He lips were soft and warm as they moved with mine. I pressed her closer to me she wrapped her hands around my neck. I could feel her body pressed up against mine and I didn't wan to let go.
Without giving much thought to it I pushed her against the tree trunk and felt her smile under my lips. I broke away for air and she pressed her lips to me ear. "Goodbye Edward," she whispered and kissed my neck softly. I shivered and pulled away.
"Goodbye Bella," I said staring at her eyes. They were wide and glossy. I kissed her softly and ran away to the car. I entered the car and rested my head against the steering wheel.
"Bye Bella," I whispered to the darkness.
I drove home in complete silence and parked the car. I got out and headed to my bed without even tying to be silent.
"Edward?" a voice called. Crap! I turned slowly and saw Carlisle on the reading chair a think book in his lap. He had a lamp on and was wearing a navy blue robe.
He looked up at me his golden eyes concerned. "I thought you would be asleep," I said like a child. To my surprised he smiled and shook his head. "It's…hard for me to get to sleep but I presume you don't have trouble," he said.
"No I was just saying good bye to a friend," I explained. I had gotten in trouble with previous foster parents for my sneaking out but Carlisle only smiled. "Well get to bed we have a big day tomorrow," he said I rushed up the stairs.
I laid on my bed and let pain take over me. It hurt for me to think about her and know I would never see her again but I couldn't be with her.
Goodbye Bella.
