If rose is green and grass is red
Will you remember what I said?
Baby don't forget before you regret
Stuck in my mind
A needle through my head
I sat on my bed staring at the floor waiting for Edward to climb through my open window. Shut it whenever you don't want me to come, he said. As if that would ever happen. My best friend, the one person that I wanted to have more of, I wanted him. I began to fall in love the first day I saw him, I just didn't know it yet.
He walked through the preschool door, his messy bronze hair and sparkling green eyes and a crooked smile on his face, a short pixie like girl skipping into the room beside him. I didn't think much of him at first until he came and sat next to me.
"My name is Edward." He said in a musical voice, I turned to look at him surprised when the short pixie hopped next to him and squealed excitedly, "I'm Alice!" I smiled; no one ever tried to talk to me before.
"Do you like to go shopping?" Alice asked. I shook my head. Alice looked at me horrified and gasped.
"Please come with me afterschool, my mommy will take us and then we can take you home." She looked at me pleadingly, I grimaced and she pouted.
"I need to ask my mommy first." I said shuffling my feet.
Her face brightened and she began to bounce happily. "I hope you know what you're getting yourself into." Edward mumbled.
"What do you mean?" I asked puzzled.
"She loves shopping she made me run around the store looking for a pink skirt once when it was right next to her and when she says she's going to get one thing she gets a bagillion." He said. It was my turn to look horrified.
"Don't worry I'll protect you." He said, hugging me. I blushed. I had a feeling we would get along just fine.
The rain poured down outside of my window and the wind howled. I got up and shut the window. There's no way Edward would try to come in through THAT. I plopped onto my bed my favorite book, Wuthering Heights in hand. I opened my tattered book and began to read but getting distracted by my thoughts of Edward.
Over the years we became closer, I could tell him everything, almost everything except for the fact I was absolutely in love with him. He was always sweet and caring, just like when-
I heard knocking on my window. I turned around to see Edward drenched. I rushed, trying not to trip, to open the window for him. He climbed through dripping.
"Are you absolutely insane?" I asked him.
"Yeah." He said grinning.
"Aren't you cold?" I asked, worrying about him.
"I'm fine." He said. It was then I noticed how hot he looked. His wet t-shirt clung to his body, making his lean muscles noticeable. Tiny raindrops stuck to his eyelashes and his hair. He looked like a model while I would look like a wet dog.
The light you shine into the night
You take away my fright
And for every time you I see you I try
What I try to say is stay with me tonight
Thunder boomed and lightning flashed. I jumped. His wet arms wrapped around me. I squeaked.
"You ARE cold." I said shivering.
He grimaced, "Sorry." He said.
"Let me get something for you to change into." Before I did something stupid. I looked through my drawers and ended up getting him an oversized sweatshirt and a pair of sweatpants.
"I hope this is okay." I said, biting my lip.
His eyes darkened, "They're fine."
I sat back down on my bed as Edward walked into my bathroom to change. I looked towards to see if he was almost finished. To my delight and possibly his dismay he left the door open. His back was to me allowing me to see his toned muscles on his back. He was wearing the sweatpants I gave him and was putting on the sweatshirt.
I gaped at him but quickly recovered as he began to turn around.
"Enjoying the view?" he teased.
"More than you know…" I mumbled. "So how did you get out here, aren't your parents home?"
"Nah, they're out for dinner."
"You left Alice at home!?" I screamed.
"No! She's at Lissy's." Edward said.
I nodded relieved. We weren't little kids or anything but we were still pretty young to our parents at the ages of 14 and 15.
"Bella, I have something to tell you." He said nervously.
For what I really feel inside
My eyes won't let me hide
Every time I see you they start to cry
Cause this time, my love,
It could mean good bye don't say goodnight
"Sure." I said. Oh god he must want to say that he doesn't like me and we can only stay friends.
"I- We have been friends for a long time and- I- uhh- I've gotten to know you like a sister," My heart dropped. "But I don't want you to be my sister, I want you to be more than that. From the day I saw you I knew you were the one for me. We might have been young but I just felt differently towards you unlike Alice and all the other girls. What I'm trying to say is that I love you Bella."
My eyes widened. "I understand if you don't return my feelings," he apologized, criticizing himself under his breath. "it's just that I feel like something bad is going to happen and-"
"Edward," I said stopping him. We looked at each other a worried, pained expression on his beautiful face. "I love you too."
He smiled, his hand caressing my cheek bringing our faces closer together. I felt his cool breath on my skin. Our lips came closer and closer together when-

"Bella!" we moved away from each other stunned. My mother stood in the doorway looking heartbroken. I was disappointed that we didn't get to kiss but my parents never went into my room unless it was something important.
"Edward," she broke down into tears.
"Mom, what's wrong?" I asked worriedly.
"His parents- car- slid off the road- crash." She said in between sobs.
I gasped and my eyes filled with tears. Edward had a look of disbelief on his face and realization of what my mom just said. His face contorted in sadness and he began to cry. "They can't be gone!" he cried into my shoulder as I hugged him, my tears falling onto his hair, our newly found happiness replaced by despair.
The light you shine into the night
You take away my fright
And for every time I see you I try

I rubbed soothing circles on his back as he continued to sob into my shoulder. "It's going to be okay." I whispered into his ear. He looked up at me for a second, his eyes showing what he felt inside. The thunder and lightning continued to flash and boom, fitting the mood of the late evening. I tried to get up but Edward held me down.
"Stay with me." he whispered. He sounded so defenseless. I nodded.
"Lay down." I said. He placed his head on my pillow and I lay in his arms. He wrapped his arms around my waist gently as my head lay on his chest. And we fell asleep as I wondered, "Will this be goodbye?"
