Enough for Forever
Chapter One-
It was dark outside. Rain was pouring, and it was being whipped across my face by the ferocious wind. My hair and clothes were sticking to me. Looking around, I saw that I was in the forest. But, hadn't Edward been with me just moments ago? I was frightened. I didn't recognize my surroundings, and he was missing. I looked around hastly. I couldn't see him anywhere. I started to wander around the unfamiliar territory. "Edward!" I had called. "Edward! Please come back to me!" I had started to cry. I couldn't find him anywhere. I looked around me once more. Where could he have gone? I suddenly got a feeling of a presence behind me. My breath cought in my throat. Slowly, I turned around. Calm down Bella, I had told myself. You are going to turn around, and it will be Edward. I turned around, but what I saw, wasn't Edward. A lump formed in my throat as I tried to scream. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. She stood there, Edward was laying on the ground behind her. Tears started to fall down my face, and I froze in my spot. I couldn't move, I couldn't scream, and I couldn't breathe. All I could do was cry. "This," she hissed, "will teach you not to get involved with monster's. People who aren't like you." My eyes widened, as she started to walk towards me. "This, is payback." Slowly, her pale hand reached towards me...
"Edward!" I flew up in my bed. My comforter was tangled around my neck. Sweat mixed with tears were pouring down my face as I tried to detach myself from the deathly blanket. As I pried it off of my neck, I flung myself out of my bed. I stood in the middle of my room, tears streaming from my eyes. My hair stuck to my face, and I found I was burning up. I took deep calming breaths until my heart returned to it's normal speed. I turned around and quietly opened my door. I stuck my head out the crack, making sure I hadn't woken up Charlie, my father, and walked into the bathroom.
I flicked on the light and glanced at the young women staring back at me. My face was pale, except my flushed cheeks. My eyes were red, from crying, I suspected. Sighing deeply I turned on the bathroom faucet. I closed my eyes and started to splash the fresh, cool water on my face. I sighed as I started to dry off the water. I missed Edward. Sure I saw him yesterday after school, and I would see him later today. He was hunting, and I always missed him when he was hunting.
I silently padded my way back into my room. I left the door open a crack this time and made my way over to my bed.
Climbing into the warm, comfy bed, I glanced at my clock sitting on my side table. It read 5:45 AM. I groaned and rolled onto my side. I was grateful that it was a Saturday. Not only would I get to relax the entire day, but I would get to relax the entire day with my Edward.
Reaching into my side table drawer, I pulled out my CD player and headphones. I checked to make sure that Linkin Park was in there. My mom's new husband, Phil, had bought the CD for me. I had started to like it quiet a bit, even more so now that I knew Edward liked it also.
I slid my headphones over my ears, and hit play on the player. I pressed the repeat button, and closed my eyes. I let everything drain from my mind, so only the words to the lyrics were echoing through my head.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I woke up to my music blaring in my ears. I blinked a few times, allowing my eyes to adjust to the light streaming through my window. I looked towards my clock, noting that it was 9:30 AM. I smiled slightly. This was the perfect time to be getting out of bed on such a beautiful Saturday morning. I rolled out of bed, stumbled more like it, and walked over to my closet. I gathered up my clothes I would be wearing for the day, and walked into the bathroom to shower.
After my shower I felt refreshed and jubilant. I would get to see Edward today. I dried my hair, and threw it up into a ponytail.
Walking into the kitchen, I noticed a note attached to the refridgerator. I walked over to it and read through the note outlound. "Bella, Billy and I have decided to go fishing today. If I am not back by midnight, I will be home by tomorrow afternoon. I hope you don't mind me leaving you home alone. I will see you soon. Charlie."
My smile grew as I read through the note. Charlie would be gone, all day, and possibly all tomorrow morning. I could be with Edward the entire time, and I wouldn't have to worry about anything. This was going to be a great weekend.
After I had finished my bowl of cereal, I set my dishes in the sink. Turning around, I noticed a blood red rose sitting on the kitchen table. I giggled and looked around the kitchen. Edward had placed that there, I just know it. I walked up to the beautiful rose and noticed something attached to it. It was a message. It read: Go up to your room. Once again I smiled, but obeyed the words.
Walking into my room, I noticed nothing different. I sat on my bed, and just as I did, a rose appeared right next to me. I giggled again and picked it up. This time the message said: Look in your closet. A confused look swam across my face as I walked carefully towards the closet. I opened it, expecting to see Edward standing there with his gleaming teeth shinning through his wide smile. Instead, I found a stunningly georgous, gown. It was a black dress with a square neckline. It had spaghetti straps, a satin lace up botice, and a straight skirt with two slits. It was breath taking, and very sexy, to say the least. On the floor of my closet, I saw a pair of satin, stiletto heels. They had gems dangling from the strap. I was confused. Why would Edward do this? Why would he buy such lovely things? It wasn't my birtday, it wasn't an anniversery, it wasn't any sort of holiday. Reluctantly, I read the message that was pinned to the dress. It read: Put the dress and shoes on and then go to the into the bathroom. I was completely befuddled, but, nonetheless, I did as was told.
After I had slipped the dress and shoes on, I carefully reported to the bathroom. I walked extra carefully, as to not fall and break my leg again. I had just gotten my cast off, and I wasn't ready to get stuck into another one.
I finally reached the bathroom, completely unscathed in anyway. I opened the bathroom, eager to see what was awaiting me. When the door was fully open, I saw a delighted looking Alice standing in the middle of the small bathroom, curling iron and blow dryer in hand. My eyes widened, as I backed up into the hallway.
"Oh no! I am not being your experimental Barbie doll again. Once was enough for me Alice Cullen."
Alice pouted, and stuck out her lower lip. "Bella, I don't remember anything from my human life, and as you can see," she pointed to her own, well groomed hair. "I have nothing to work with. Please Bella." She was good at begging. "And besides," she continued, fake remorse in her voice. "I promised Edward I would do it."
I sighed and walked carefully into the bathroom. "Let's see you work your magic."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A full hour and a half later, and my hair and make-up were done. My hair was thrown up into a messy, loose, curly ponytail. It was casual, yet formal and elegant at the same time. For my make-up, Alice brushed a light shade of brown eyeshadow across my lids, and placed an even amount of eyeliner and mascara. Quickly, she brushed a light amount of face glow and shiny lip gloss. She finished up by puting some hanging diamond earings in my ears and hooking a necklace around my neck. I gaped at myself. I looked...beautiful. The last time I looked anything like this was when Edward had drug me, unwillingly, to the prom.
Alice ushered me dowstairs into the living room before she left. She told me to wait here, and that Edward would be here to pick me up at any minute.
By the time I was all ready for my mysterious date, it was already 5:30 in the evening, and it was starting to get slightly darker outside.
I flopped down onto the couch. My nerves were starting to kick in. I hated surprises, and there was no doubt in my mind, that's what Edward was up too. As soon as I sat down, there was a knock on the door. I jumped, startled, but quickly jumped off the couch and ran to the door, almost injuring myself in the process. I flung the door open and Edward was revealed.
He was wearing a a black button down shirt, along with black slacks and a black leather jacket. His bronze hair was hanging in his face. His eyes were the deep gold that I loved.
He smiled warmly as he looked me up and down. I blushed slightly, and he noticed, causing him to smile even wider.
"Shall we?" he asked as he held his arm out to me. I smiled, nodded, and then hooked my arm into his.
As we walked outside, I noticed that Edward had brought the Aston Martin, his "special occasion" car. My heart fluttered briefly as I thought about what he could have planned.
Edward walked me to the passanger's side of the car and opened the door. He waited for me to get comfortable in my seat and then closed the door softly.
As he climbed into the driver's seat, I looked towards him and tried to summon up a mad face.
"What is it Bella?" he chuckled. Apparently my mad face wasn't at all intimidating.
"Where are you taking me?"
"Now now Bella. That's a surprise." He leaned over and kissed me softly on the lips and my heart was sent into a frenzied rush of palpitations.
"You know I dislike surprises," I whispered as he pulled away and started the car. He chuckled again and backed out of the driveway. Within seconds, we were rushing down the street.
I layed my head against the window as I watched the trees rush by us. I was dazed, in my own little world, until I felt Edward's cold hand brush past mine and settle on my thigh. I looked down at it, then back at him. His golden gaze was locked on me, and I smiled wholeheartedly.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We pulled into the driveway of an exquisite mansion. It was huge, and amazing.
As usual, Edward was by my side, my door open, within seconds. He held out his hand and I took it graciously. I was dumbstruck as we walked up the beauteous landscape before us. I started to walk towards the door, but was pulled out of my daze, yet again, by Edward. He was tugging softly on my arm, and started to lead me around the building to the back.
When we arrived, I was awstruck. The sight was beautiful. I looked around, noticing that there was a small table for two, sitting right ontop of the pool. I started to cry as I heard the soft melody of the lullaby Edward had composed. My lullaby I thought to myself. I sniffled, and Edward had heard. He turned towards me, worry in his eyes. "Bella, are you okay? We don't have to do this-we can do something..."
"No," I interrupted him. "No, Edward. This is wonderful. I love it." I stared into his eyes and smiled. He smiled back and kissed my forehead. Once again he took my hand. He lead me over to the pool.
"Come on," he said. He stepped out onto the pool, but instead of sinking, he stayed. I stared in bewilderment. "There's plexiglass ontop of the pool," he said simply. I smiled, and carefully stepped onto the pool. It looked like I was floating above the pool. It was amazing.
He walked me into the center of the pull and turned me so that I was facing towards him. He grabbed my hands and slowly wrapped them around his neck. Then he slid his hands around my waist. Pulling me close, he started to move back and forth. Reality began to dawn on me as I realzied what he was doing.
"No, Edward." I tried to pull away but to no avail.
"Bella, don't ruin the moment," he whispered in my ear. My heart melted and I lay my head on his shoulder, allowing him to lead me to the beat of the music.
"How is it so far?" he asked curiously.
I lifted my head from his shoulder and gazed into his eyes. "It's wonderful Edward."
"I love you, Bella."
"I love you too Edward. But, why?" I asked skeptically.
He started to rub my back softly. "All in good time, my love."
