I stared across the foggy waters of Lake Michigan, and then looked back at Edward. I wanted this last moment with him to be forever. I couldn't handle being alone. Not now.
He looked back at me with his strange red eyes. It was too much to bare. My vision went blurry, and he pulled me into an embrace in his cold, rock-like chest. I glanced up at the painful expression on his face. Like he was trying to hold something back. Something that he definitely didn't want me to see. He struggled on some words. "Don't be afraid" he whispered to me as he wiped the newest tear from my wet face. "It won't be forever. "Just until I get better enough to be able to see you again".
He told me after mom died a few days ago, his condition of the flu got so bad, that he had to be quarantined into another state for a while. My eyes widened, and I struggled to get out of his arms. "Eddie!" I whined. "I might get sick too!" He put his icy hands on either side of my face, and pecked me on the forehead. I shivered, for the tenth time. "Your heart is too precious to turn cold". I blinked. I thought about asking him what he was talking about, but I was too concentrated on his face. This was the first good look I've had it. He didn't look like my brother. Not my Eddie. He tucked a loose reddish-brown curl behind my ear. "I want you to be happy. You won't get that if you come with me".
I was kind of shocked to how chimy his voice sounded. And I wanted to know why I'd be so "unhappy". But I didn't ask questions. I knew I wouldn't get my answers, anyhow. I just nodded, and I sat there in his lap for what seemed days as we watched the sun gleam over Chicago.
