I WAS CRYING MY EYES OUT ABOUT ALL THE MISERIES OF MY LIFE TILL 4 IN THE MORNING AND FINALLY DECIDED TO TAKE A WARM BATH, THIS IDEA POPPED INTO MY MIND, RAPPING MYSELF UP I QUICKLY SEARCHED FOR MY LAPTOP AND STARTED TYPING THIS MIND BLOWING FIC.
AUTHOR NOTE (EXTRA) : DON'T THINK OF ME AS A SADIST, I AM PERFECTLY NORMAL BUT FREAK; CURRENTLY WRITING THE FIRST CHAPTER AND HAVING CHEESE OMELET, BREAD WITH A CUP OF HOT COFFEE.
TIME: 4:45 AM.
DISCLAIMER: I NEITHER OWN TWILIGHT NOR EDWARD.
CHAPTER#1: FIRST SIGHT
Today was not a good day to sit around the beach and take in as much sun as I can. Because I was not a big fan of hot and dry places despite that I had been living in phoenix for almost 17 years. Many people may not believe but I have always stayed out of sun despite living in few of the most sunny places of America. I have loved cold and wet places with clouds making gloomy shadows all day, my choice of weather had once worried my mother that I may have gone gloomy and disoriented probably the side effects of her and charlie's separation, But somehow I had made her believe was not the case. In real it was.
Rene has been under this impression for all these years that I adore cold because I was born in forks, Olympic peninsula of northwest Washington state, a small town exists under a near-constant cover of clouds. Despite its welcoming weather I had always loathed that town, that town took my childhood away, that town had burned my dreams to shred a dream of five year old to live along side his mother and father like a small happy family. A dream to be woken up by tickling of loving dad and fed spoonful of breakfast by a caring mother.
Rene and Charlie were loving and caring but not together that was the loose loop. There separation was torcher to me that I had been compelled to spend a month of every summer with charlie in California until I was fourteen. Its not that I distaste charlie I just couldn't bond up with him, he and I are quite same as we don't talk much second I am always worried about rene because she is irresponsible and get herself in trouble like some five year old. My worries ended after fourteen because I was always around her. But they were soon to be started because I was leaving for forks today at eve. I was pulled out from my deep thoughts by rene's shriek.
"Its almost four, an hour left for your flight" squeaked rene.
Eager to get away from sun I jump up, grabbing all my belongings that were a portable CD-player, a water bottle and a pull over, I made my way towards the car.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
I was wearing white sleeve-less T-shirt, black slaggers and was about to put a greyish black pull over on when I heard someone sobbing. It was rene, rain drop like tears escaping her brown eyes.
"Mom please" I pleaded because if this continues I would not be able to leave phoenix at any rate, I couldn't leave her in this state partially blaming herself for being a miserable mom which was all wrong.
"You don't have to do this" she broke in mid sentence as a heavy sob escaped her lips.
Pain crossed my face I very much wanted to tell her that I am doing this for her to live happy with her new wedded husband but I couldn't, this way she will blame herself more than before.
"I want to go" I lied.
I'd always been a bad lair, but I'd been saying this lie so frequently lately that it sounded almost convincing now.
"Tell charlie I said hi"
"I will"
"I'll see you soon" she insisted. "You can come home whenever you want- I will come right as soon as you need me".
"Don't worry about me", I urged. "By the way whose coming in land of sun when I got a whole year of rain and my personal clouds for me in forks?" I winked, making atmosphere a little light.
It worked she giggled, kissing my forehead twice she let me go.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
It was four hour flight from phoenix to Seattle, another hour in a small plane up to port Angeles, and then an hour drive back down to forks. Flying doesn't bother me; the hour in car with charlie, though, I was a little worried about.
Charlie had usually been quite like me but unlike me he had a few friends, like billy black his old buddy, they go fishing every weakened or held a small get together. On the other hand I was usually sitting in some park or some natural site, taking in the beauty of nature and thinking about my non-available possibilities to fit in that site. It's not like people don't approach me, they do as finding me physically attractive, mostly are the girls with beautiful face but no heart. My dislike of double standards had always kept me lonely and single which I think is better this way.
"Its good to see you Edward" charlie greeted giving me an awkward one armed hug. "How's rene?"
"Mom's fine. It's good to see you too, cha- Dad" I was not allowed to call him charlie on his face.
"I got you enrolled in forks high school and I bought a good car too, really good" Charlie announced when we were strapped in.
Charlie had been fairly nice about whole moving thing. He seemed genuinely pleased that I was coming to live with him, knowing charlie like me couldn't share emotion using words so we do through the side lines. So an enrollment and a car as home coming gift was his way of saying 'I am happy to have you son'.
"What year is it?" I could see from change in his expression that he was not expecting me to ask this question. But it was this way with charlie, he was a cop and earns enough to easily make both ends meet and suddenly buying a brand new car was not easy for him.
"It re-condition but looks like a new one" well that was less then I calculated it to be. "Do you remember old billy? he fixed it, It was his" Charlie finished sheepishly probably still embarrassed by my previous question.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
"Wow, Dad, I love it! Thanks!" I really liked that car, It was a Volvo, silver in color. I was more then grateful because tomorrow would be just much less dreadful. I wouldn't have to accept a ride in chief's cruiser, that glow multiple lights, red and blue in color to attract more attention to beat me to death.
Charlie was pleased with his choice that a tired smile crossed his lips.
"Hey charlie" a rather heavy voice spared me from uneasiness as I was struggling to say more but didn't had anything to say. The voice belonged to a man in his fifties, set in wheel chair and a cotton of bear can's on his lap, accompanied by a young boy around my age or less.
"Hey billy, you are as fit as ever" greeted back charlie.
"And you are as old as ever charlie" I bit back a laugh at billy's statement, They sure were close because I couldn't imagine a person on earth with enough spirits to encounter with charlie using such statement.
"They are always like this, It's more fun to watch with their bet's on their favorite player during a baseball match" spoke that boy sensing my amusement.
"Then I should be staying home this Saturday" I replied a smile pulled at the end of my lips.
"By the way my name jacob and that crazy wheels is my dad" introduced jacob as if he was sort of disappointed having billy for his dad, I let it pass for now.
"Edward" I replied and we shook hands.
oOoOoOoOoOoOo
It was 9 at the eve and the billy has moved out with his son after a wealthy dinner or I should call feast because there was too much to eat. Charlie and billy eat too much as I ate quarter of their normal diet, God knows how charlie keeps his tummy flat after all those junk foods because if it was me I would have been fat enough to never fit in my shiny volvo.
Shaking my head I observed my surrounding which was my room on attic floor, it was still stuffed with my childhood stuff which desperately meant to be moved out, neighboring my room was the only bath that for sure need to be a common. Moving to the window I jerked it open as it was quite stiff. I could see the dark street with little light provided by side lamps, deserted roads, sad sku above ahead as it was full of clouds and grey in color, well at least something was to my liking. Sighing I pulled out my towel and toiletries, stripping my cloths went to take a hot bath which was as welcoming as seeing my mom again.
Tomorrow was going to be a long day and I desperately needed a good sleep, I plopped down on my normal sized bed, closing my eyes shut I drifted to sleep.
'i will show you a sweat dream next time'
