Chapter One
I woke up to the grey skies of Forks. For some reason though, I was extremely cold. I looked to my right to see if Edward was there. He wasn't. Normally, he would have stayed until I woke up. Where was he? I got up from my bed, me bear feet hitting the cold ground. I shivered. Why was it is cold?
I walked down the stairs, still in my flannel pajamas. I looked in the living room, looking for Charlie. Then, I went into the kitchen. He wasn't anywhere. I looked out the window to see if his police car was still there. It was. Was he still asleep? I walked back up the stairs and cracked open his door. I peeked inside, expecting to see him asleep. The bed was perfectly made. That was odd for Charlie.
Where was he? And where was Edward?
I closed the door and turned to go back to my room when I heard a crash from downstairs. I ran down the steps, grateful for not falling. I got to the kitchen and saw that the window was blown open and the wind blew a vase off the counter.
I stepped carefully by the glass and reached to close the window. I finally noticed why it was so cold. It was snowing. I closed the window, having to force it closed because the wind was fighting me. I locked it into place. Making sure it couldn't be blown open again.
I started sweeping up the glass when a thought hit me. If it was snowing, then why isn't the heater on? And why was Charlie's police car still here, but he wasn't? Something weird was going on; something very weird.
I finished sweeping up and turned the heater on. I went back upstairs and grabbed my back of toiletries. I showered for a few minutes then climbed out. I wrapped a towel around me and started blow drying my hair.
I walked back to me room and got my underwear and bra on. I peered into my closet and tried to decide what to wear. I picked a pair of dark blue jeans and a white T-shirt. Alice would probably throw a fit. I pulled on a pair of white socks and my tennis shoes.
I sat on my bed for a bit, thinking about where Charlie could be. Then, an idea came to me. Why don't I ask Alice? I went back down the stairs and picked up the phone, dialing her number. It didn't even ring once before she answered.
"Hello?" she said in her bell like voice.
"Alice? It's Bella."
"Bella! What's up?"
"Alice, I need you to do me a favor. I can't find Charlie anywhere but his police car is still here. I was wondering if maybe you could see him anywhere."
"What am I? A human detector?"
"Please, Alice? I'm really worried."
"Alright, alright. Hold on."
I waited a few moments before Alice said anything.
"Bella? I can't see Charlie."
"What? Why not?"
"I don't know. Maybe he's with Jacob's dad?"
"I don't know. I haven't called them yet."
"Well try. Maybe he's there."
"Alright. Thanks, Alice."
"No problem, Bella. Hey! Edward says he'll be at our house in an hour."
"Alright. Thanks again, Alice."
"You're welcome, Bella. Bye."
"Bye."
Then I hung up. Only to call Billy's place. It rang three times before Billy answered.
"Hello?"
"Billy? It's Bella."
"Bella, how are you?"
"I'm good, Billy. Hey, is my dad there by any chance?"
"Yeah, Jake went and got him about an hour and a half ago. Charlie's car wasn't working right."
Jake was here? Why didn't he say anything or left something?
"Oh, okay. Thanks, Billy. I was worried."
He laughed a bit.
"You're welcome, Bella. Charlie will be home later."
"Okay. Bye."
"Bye."
Then, again, I hung up. Well, that solves on mystery. But why his bed was made and why the heater wasn't on, were still bothering me. Well, at least Charlie was okay.
My stomach grumbled, telling me to eat. I went into the cabinet and got a box of cereal. I was eating and scanning the newspaper when two hands covered my eyes. They were cold. One name went through my mind.
Edward.
"Hey." I said.
He chuckled and removed his hands, sitting next to me.
"Hello, Love."
"Why did you leave so early?" I asked.
"Alice called. She had something to tell me."
"What was it?"
"Something about the woods. But she couldn't really see."
"Oh." I said looking back down at the paper.
After a few moments after silence, Edward grabbed my hand and pulled me into his arms.
"What the--?" Was all I could make out before he crushed his lips in to mine.
When he finally pulled away, I was panting.
"What was that for?" I asked, trying to catch my breath.
He smiled his crooked half smile, trying to look innocent.
"That mutt's sent was on you. I wanted to replace it with mine."
I stared at him.
"What? That can't be. I haven't seen Jake."
"Well, it was on you somehow. I didn't like it."
I smiled and snuggled my head into the crook of his neck.
"I love you."
"I love you too."
We stayed like that for a little bit before Edward said something.
"Come on. I want to go to the meadow today."
I smiled. We haven't been there in so long.
"Okay." I said nodding.
