A/N: Hey! you actually came to read this!!! XD Anyways, This is a little story that I wrote from Edward's point of view, let's just say is my little Midnight Sun :D
Edward is a guy who suffered a few bumps with relationships lately. He doesn't trust on his feelings anymore because everytime he thought he was in love, he realized after a month or so of relationship with the girl that he wasn't even close to loving her. Bella is a girl who recently moved to Forks so that her mother could enjoy her time with her new husband.
The day was cloudy and the sun barely showed behind a spot where the clouds seemed to open just a bit to let some rays fall through. Not that I wasn't used to this kind of days, but today it just seemed to me that the day was brighter than any other day. Classes were boring again, lunch time was just the same, but outside the building, something made me think that the day was getting brighter in all ways.
"… and I even hate that people either ignore me or just stare at the clouds for 10 minutes!"
"Sorry, I really got lost on my mind." I had to admit, ashamed.
"That's cool bro, but you've being lost since we went out of the building!" "Everything's ok?" Rosalie and Jasper turned to me as soon as Emmett asked, maybe because I'm constantly making silly comments over the whole conversation and trying to get a laugh at every chance I have.
"Don't worry, I'm ok" I said, smiling. "But tell me again about your plan for today." I added.
"Well, I've been trying to explain you the last couple of minutes that I think that we should have a party today because everyone seems on the mood!" He said, smiling.
"I'd like to offer my house, but I don't think my parents would let us have a party there, not since someone decided to take a ride on the Porsche." Emmett looked at Jasper with a grin and a weird silly expression. Jasper just gave a thumbs-up and a light smile back to Emmett, which took a short laugh from Emmett. To me that just meant that being grounded for taking out that beautiful cream white 911 Turbo for a little ride was totally worth it.
"So that's where you come in" said Jasper, almost trying to sell me the idea like a guy on those infomercials. "Besides, you should be throwing a party now that your parents are gone!"
"I guess they're right Edward" said Rosalie "There's no harm on throwing a little party at the house with some friends"
I was getting kinda excited with the idea, and those thoughts that ran into my mind a couple minutes before where making all that sound like fun, so even when I was not in the mood for any parties the last couple months, today I had a feeling that I could actually enjoy this party.
"So is that a yes?" said Emmett, realizing that I smiled to my own.
"Ok, I guess that you can throw a party at my house" I said, trying to sound defeated but actually failing to hide some excitement "But you have to promise that you'll only invite a few people!"
"Don't worry, is going to be like a real VIP party, I promise!" said Emmett, rushing out with the cell phone on his hands and losing no time to invite some people.
"Well, I guess I should be leaving too guys." said Jasper, looking back to where Emmett went and then to his car. "I'll try to restrain Emmett from inviting too many people, I promise"
"Thanks Jasper, see you tonight at my place" I said, as Jasper turned back and walked to his car to leave the parking lot right away.
Rosalie and I went home and had some dinner before going up to change clothes, and I had some time to think about the thing that changed my mood so drastically. I refused to think that my change was because of that girl, but everything else pointed out that way. There was nothing special about this girl - I mean - she was pretty, but nothing really outstanding, and she caught my attention since she was introduced by Professor Goldstein in my Biology class.
My shoes rebelled as I was trying to tie the laces, and with my thoughts on that girl the task took me even longer. I tried to bring a picture of her on my head and the first image that crossed to my mind was a quick glance I gave her near the end of the class. I looked at her beautiful brown eyes staring straight at the board, her pale skin that enhanced the beautiful color of her hair, and her mouth, which she suddenly opened a brief moment so that she could bit her lower lip.
"Bella" I said to myself, pulling the name of the girl from my memories. I guess that the way she crossed sights with me when I was looking her was the thing that changed my mind: she looked me straight into the eyes, stopped biting her lip and turned away slowly to get her attention back on the board, stretching her look to me as far as she could until she had to look up front. Immediately after that, the bell ranged and everyone rushed out except her. She took some time to take her stuff, and when she passed over my chair she glanced at me and gave me a cute smile, one of those smiles that someone gives to you when they are greeting you warmly, but that makes you feel a bit of flirting in it.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang and I rushed down to the door to receive Emmett and Jasper.
"We are here earlier to get everything set up for the party buddy!" said Emmett, looking rather excited about the house and the things he bought for the party.
"Great" I said. "We'll put all the stuff you brought on the table and then we split to set up everything"
"And… where's Rosalie?" asked Emmett while looking at all directions to inspect every inch of the room.
"I guess she's still changing, but I don't think she'll take any longer" I said to Emmett, trying to get his attention to get the house all set up for the party.
"Well, I guess we should start setting up the house to finish before everyone starts to get here" said Jasper, and started looking to the stuff they brought.
Everyone started to set up the house quickly; I got all the food out at the table, Jasper was setting up the audio and Emmett helped Rosalie to get some decorations on the house and getting some lights on the roof to get some crazy lighting effects. People started arriving shortly after we finished and by one hour the house was filled with far more people that I wanted, but even so I kept somehow a good humor.
The party was going smoothly, and everyone seemed to be having some fun. Some people where dancing on the end of the hallway and in the dining room, others were near the table where the snacks and the drinks were and the rest where basically near the exit to the garden. I had a chance to saw Jessica and Lauren dancing near the dining table and looking at me, I just tried to be polite and smiled at them, but they used their hands to call me near them to dance. I had no intentions to go and dance with them, considering that both had a big attraction to me and I was not in the mood to deal with them anymore.
After a while with Rosalie, Emmett and Jasper, I decided to go to the back of the house into the garden to get some fresh air.
"I'll go with you" said Jasper, obviously stating that he didn't wanted to be left alone with Rosalie and Emmett. Even when they were not really something, nobody could deny that there was definitively something. I was not uncomfortable with that, because even when Rosalie was my sister and Emmett was my friend, I knew both had been sometime attracted to each other and that Emmett would do no harm to her.
We moved into the back of the house and into the garden, and back there we just sat into the chairs near the pool. The night was not too cold, and in the air a slight smell of dew ran into my nose, even when there was no rain today.
We started talking about the party and how everything was going smoothly until I felt a hand on my shoulder turning me around.
"Finally!" said Alice. "I found our dear host of this nice party!"
"Alice!" said Jasper, with a clear sound of happiness on his voice.
"Hey Jasper!" said Alice, with a big smile. "I got your message about helping you guys setting up the house for the party, but I was actually taking a ride with our new girl in town"
"That's fine Alice, don't worry" said Jasper.
"Anyways, let me introduce her" said Alice, while stepping aside so that we could see the girl behind her. The first thing I noticed was her red dress, getting all the way to her knees and her pale skin making the dress to look like an intense red. Exactly when I moved my sight into her face she turned from Jasper to me, and we had our same moment as in Biology class. She bit her lower lip and crossed her hands and legs at the same time, and I unconsciously let my jaw drop but quickly reacted and tried to give a little smile.
"Guys, this is…"
"Bella" I said, completing the sentence.
"You know her Edward?" asked Alice surprised.
"She's in my Biology class and Professor Goldstein introduced her" I said to Alice. I suddenly realized that I was rushing a bit by saying her name when someone else was actually introducing her to me. I almost unconsciously tried to avoid any other stalker-freaky act and zipped my drink to keep my mouth busy on something else.
"Yeah, I guess we are on the same class" she said, almost giving no importance to it.
"Well, welcome to Forks Bella" said Jasper with a smile.
"Thanks… Jasper, right?" said Bella, not hesitating but rather confirming his name to herself. "But I didn't got your name…" she said, while pointing to me with the same warm and cute smile she gave me when we left the classroom.
"I'm Edward Cullen, and this is my house, so feel free to take a drink and enjoy the party" I said, trying to give her the same amount of importance I felt from her a few moments ago.
"I'm going to take your advice and get me something to drink" said Alice, while turning into the house.
"Me too, I'm feeling kinda hungry" said Jasper with a hesitation that made almost obvious that he was just looking for an excuse to go with Alice.
Bella and I turned to each other, and I quickly offered her a chair, she sat and fixed her look on the pool and the decorations that were floating on it.
"This house is amazing" she said after a while after turning to me. Her brown eyes showed the lights shining on the pool and for a brief moment I was sure that I could look there almost like a shining beautiful mirror.
"Thanks, I guess that Esme and Carlisle have a nice taste"
"Are they your parents?" she asked, showing on her face confused.
"Yes." I said while turning my chair to her. "I know it sounds weird from me to call them by their names, but I couldn't get used to call them mom and dad"
"So you are… like a…"
"Say it, adopted" I said to her very casually. "I don't mind being adopted, in fact I'm glad that they adopted me when my mother died, they take care of me and love me very much"
"Well, that's good; at least you don't feel like an outsider with them"
"Do you feel that way with your family?" I asked, feeling a sudden urge to know what she meant.
"I don't know" she said, with her sight lost on the horizon. "My parents divorced like 10 years ago, and I went to live with my mother, but now she got married and…" she stopped and hesitated.
"You don't like the guy?" I said, trying to guess what she kept for herself.
"No, he's really cool, but I just want them to have their life and be happy, that's why I moved here with my dad" she said, turning to me with a smile.
"Edward!" said a sudden voice in a high pitch, and I almost went nuts to the owner of that annoying voice.
"I've been looking for you Edward!" said Jessica, almost screaming into my ears. The smell of her breath made me obvious that those bottles of expensive whisky where getting empty.
"You should dance with us Edward!" said Lauren, who seemed almost as drunk as Jessica.
"I... I'd love to girls, but I don't want to leave Bella alone" I said, trying to shield on Bella to escape from those two.
"Don't worry Edward, I'll do just fine here" she said, lightly pushing me to those girls, who immediately pulled me out of my chair and dragged me nearer to the back door of the house so that we could hear the music inside.
Jessica went in front of me and started dancing, while Lauren basically hugged me from behind to take her shoes off. A few months before, I wouldn't be uncomfortable with the situation, but this time I was somehow concerned on what Bella might think about it.
"Eyyyyy…. It seems that your friend already found some company" said Lauren, still hanging on to me to keep from falling.
I turned my head to Bella, and I saw her on the same chair but now talking to a big guy. He had long hair, muscular but not ripped, and with a tanned skin. I instantly felt a twitch on my stomach as I had the most precious thing from me stolen, and stopped dancing with Jessica and Lauren. I went inside the house for a drink and I found Emmett on my way.
"Great party, right buddy? All the people is happy, there's some nice music and no drama from anyone so far" said Emmett, holding a big smile.
"Yeah, I guess it's ok" I said, still walking to the table where the drinks were, leaving Emmett behind.
I took some whisky into a glass and drank quickly all of it.
I was very pissed with the fact that someone else spoke to her, but I had no obvious reason to do so. I totally tried to deny the fact that I was actually falling for her, especially because I thought I had the same feeling so many times before. But it all ended the same way; I date the girl, she, somehow, fell totally for me and after a month or so I get bored from the relationship and end up everything with some silly excuses.
I know that it makes me look like a jerk, but I was merely looking for that special someone that everyone else found so easy. I was almost all the time with Rosalie, Alice, Emmett and Jasper, and the four of them were in love deeply, so being surrounded with that just frustrated me. I could only see myself as a very selfish child, like the ones that see their neighbor with a new toy and they instantly want one for them.
After my third glass of whisky, I found myself some courage to go look Bella, so I turned to the backdoor of the house, but before giving a step away from the table, I saw Bella entering to the house with the big guy holding her hand and dragging her through the people dancing near the dining room. Bella turned into every direction and then said something to the big guy, but he just gave a quick answer and pulled Bella in front of him. They both crossed quickly through the people dancing, went to the hallway to fight their way through some more people, and left the house very quickly.
My arm unconsciously moved fast to the side and I crashed the glass to the table behind me. I felt some drops falling to my shoe from my hand.
