This is my first Twilight/New Moon fanfic, so please bear with me. This takes place sometime after Twilight, before New Moon. Sorry for any mistakes!
I do not own these characters.
Full Summary: Edward and Bella's relationship is perfect, except for a few conflicts that need to be resolved. But, when a new vampire enters, the Cullens are acting really strange. And what's up with Bella's strange nightmares about fires?
"Edward…" I whimpered, "Could you please just…listen to me?"
Edward sighed, as if his sigh would release all the tension and anger inside him that he harbored inside, "Bella, be reasonable-"
"Why are you so against this?" I interrupted, trying to keep the same, even tone.
He turned toward me, his eyes penetrating mine. Suddenly, I forgot my point and my heart lurched forward. Why was it always trying to escape?
"Bella," He repeated, closing the eyes that held me in a trance, "I will not be the one-"
"To change me into a vampire?" I spat, "There is nothing wrong with this. You wouldn't have to be careful around me anymore. Isn't that what you want?"
Edward's eyes snapped open. "This is nonsense. Ask my entire family, they did not want this. None of them. I will not destroy you."
My lips were set in a straight, unhappy line. "What about Alice? She would change me."
Edward stood from my bed, dropping my hands. His velvet voice fumed, "She wouldn't dare."
My face shot downwards into my lap as guilt washed over me. Why should I be guilty? Because this beautiful, unworldly creature in front of me was angry. And what was the source of his anger? Me.
He sighed and bent over to kiss my forehead. His cold lips pressed against my hairline, jumpstarting my heart. I looked up at him.
"I've got to go," He announced, heading toward the window.
My heart plummeted through my stomach. "Won't you stay…?"
"I can't." He answered, "I have errands."
"Okay…" I sighed. I stood walked toward, and put my arms around him and pressed my body close to his. He pulled me closer, breathing into my hair as the moonlight shaded us.
"One day, you'll realized how much of a threat I am to you," He whispered, making my heart tremble, "Then you'll never want to see me again."
I chuckled slow and quiet, "I doubt it."
We released each other and he was out the window in a flash, fading away in the darkness. I popped in an Evanescence CD and skimmed through the songs until I came to 'Going Under'. Then I collapsed into a hopeless heap of flesh on my bed.
I was under the covers when the music started.
Now I will tell you what I've done for you - I dive again I'm going under (going under)
50 thousand tears I've cried.
Screaming, deceiving and bleeding for you -
And you still won't hear me.
(going under)
Don't want your hand this time - I'll save myself.
Maybe I'll wake up for once (wake up for once)
Not tormented daily defeated by you
Just when I thought I'd reached the bottom
Drowning in you (drowning in you)
I'm falling forever (falling forever)
I've got to break through
I'm going under
I sighed and stared to the empty spot beside me. It was my fault, I drove him away tonight. Now I would have to suffer…alone.
Blurring and stirring - the truth and the lies. I dive again I'm going under (going under) I'm... So go on and scream I dive again I'm going under (going under) I'm going under (going under)
(So I don't know what's real) So I don't know what's real and what's not (and what's not)
Always confusing the thoughts in my head
So I can't trust myself anymore
Drowning in you (drowning in you)
I'm falling forever (falling forever)
I've got to break through
Scream at me I'm so far away (so far away)
I won't be broken again (again)
I've got to breathe - I can't keep going under
Drowning in you (drowning in you)
I'm falling forever (falling forever)
I've got to break through
I'm going under (drowning in you)
I'm going under
I wasn't near sleep by the time the song had ended. At that point I knew, that I wasn't going to sleep for a very long time.
I entered my 1953 Chevrolet pickup truck and the door slammed shut. After fastening my seatbelt, I jolted the truck to life. The roaring engine deafened out Charlie's goodbye from the porch. He had not left for work left.
As I drove down the road, I looked at myself in the review mirror. I had bags under my eyes and no make up. I was paler than normal and feeling overwhelming guilty from mine and Edward's argument.
I figured that it was just me and that everything would be back to normal when I got to school. The ride was slow and boring. My face flushed with vibrant color when my noisy truck entered the parking lot, everyone's head turning my way.
And sure enough, I was right. Waiting in front of Edward's Volvo was Edward himself and Alice. The both greeted me, Alice with a hug and Edward with a kiss.
It was just me.
