I could hear Rain pounding on the roof of my car as I sped down the highway, so fast that I couldn't even read the sign posts that were blurring past my window it was getting nearer to midnight as I slowly got further away from my own living nightmare. I didn't know where I was going or where I would end up all I knew was where ever It was it would be better than were I was leaving from.
It was nearing 1:30 and I started to hear my car motor failing, my first thought was that I was out of gas but then I realised as I looked down at my ……. That I still had nearly a full tank since I had only topped up 17 miles ago. I kept pushing my big old Chevy truck down the high at a ever decreasing speed it had lasted me for a few years now (to my utter surprise) I had got it off a man who had brought second hand from a guy who got it in the late 50's. every time I drove I always half expected it to fall apart if you weren't gentle but truth be known she was truly a sturdy beast and off course with my bad luck she decided to brake down the one time I needed her the most…but shit happens right?
My truck was now going at a crawl and it finally hit me I was 100% screwed here I was in the middle if know where, my car was about to die from god knows what and I only had another $205to my name, but I guess there were upsides. I was FREE. away from HIM and of course his personal slave, my mother and I could do anything I wanted in the budget of $205 as my car shuddered to a stop my positive thinking flew out the window. As I stared ahead into the blackness, gripping the stirring wheel for what seemed a eternity I finally realised what this meant. I was going to have to walk to the next town and well I'm not quite sure what I needed/had to do once I got there but it was all I could really due since I cant sit in this truck for the rest of my life.
I groaned out load using all my weight to shove the old truck door open I jumped down slipping on the wet gravel cursing under my breath I heaved my self up and shivered pulling my hoddie down over head and stared to walk through the pounding rain.
I kept cheeking my phone every 5 minutes to cheek if I had service but of course I had NONE (typical). after 2hours of walking I stumbled across a secluded drive way and figured that who ever lived down the end of it would at least have a phone…who I was going to ring I was still unsure of who I was going to ring, maybe a mechanic if I even had enough money to fix my truck if it off course was fixable. Well at least I could get a tow to town. After another fifteen minutes I was shocked to walk into a clearing with a big lawn in front of a 3 storey white house or maybe the appropriate word would be mansion, not wanting to be out in the rain any longer I cut mu ogling short and with the last ounces of my energy I jogged up to the front door without hesitating I rang the door bell but immediately regretted it was 4:05 in the morning for goodnes sack and the people who lived here were probably rich snobs who would immediately turn there nose down at me when the answered the door. Just as I turned to go the door opened and in front of me stood the most gorgeous man I had ever seen in my entire life. He had bronze hair which was sticking up in every direction but it suited him and as I made my way down his body I noticed he was shirtless only wearing a pair of pajama pants I immediately felt heat rising in my cheeks and I can only hope that it was to dark for him to notice.
"hello?" his amazing voice broke the silence and I shoot my eyes up to his face only to be meet with the most intense emereld eyes, I felt as if I could be lost in them for the rest of my life and I didn't even mind.
I suddenly realised I hadn't said anything back so I opened my mouth to say something but he immediately cut in asking me what I wanted.
"oh…erm…I broke down …and well…I …well was wondering if I could use your phone?" I finally managed to say.
"ahh..ohhhhk" he spoke slowing standing aside to let me in I immediately froze the interior was even more amazing then the outside.
"my mums and interior designer" he explained obviously noticing my wide eyes "ill just go get the phone then"he mumbled as he walked out of the room coming back with a cordless phone and the local phone book I could only guess.
"I guessed youlld need this to" he said handing it to me.
The front of the book said 'FORKS DIRECTERY'
"so that's where I am" I chuckled
He looked at me with a confused look and asked "you didn't even know where you were?"
" long story" I replied starting to flick through the book looking for the nearest mechanics number.
Finding it and thanking the big man up stairs seeing that that it was in forks I dialled the number and plonked down on the couch forgetting that I was soaked right through.
After nine rings I got to the answer machine and hung up angrily
"and the shitty night goes on" I grumble mostly to my self but of course Edward heard.
"answer phone?" he asked, I nodded lazily "well I wouldn't be surprised it is 4:15 in the morning" he laughed "your lucky I fell asleep on the couch other wise you would have been sleeping on the door step until mourning"
"mmm…lucky me" I replied sarcastically
He chuckled and cracked the most sexiest crooked grin I had ever seen. "I'm Edward Cullen by the way"
"bella….erm…swan.. I guess" I replied not knowing It took me so long to say my last name…I must remember to ditch when I get out of here.I don't really wanna be trackable.
"nice to meet you bella swan I guess" he joked "wow… your soaked how long have you been out in that?" he asked pointing his head in the direction of outside.
"erm…just over 2 hours" I replied
"jezz…you must be freezing"
"yeah actually" I giggled
"wait here Ill go get you something dry to wear till morning" I went to protest but he had already dashed up the stairs on the west side of the house,
He came back 5 minute later carrying what seemed to be one of his shirts and a pair of grey track pants
"sorry…my sisters asleep so I couldn't get you any of her stuff…hope it fits"
"yeah..they'll be sweet"
"um the bathrooms the first door on your right just up the stairs"
I nodded and headed up the stairs going through the first door on my right.I turned the light on and stared in owe and what could be a bathroom to fit kings and queens. After the initail shock I quickly striped out of my wet clothes and into the overly large dry ones. I scooped up the pile of soggy material at jogged down stairs falling straight into Edward in one off my all to familiar klutzy moments.
He caught me round the waist stumbling backwards nearly falling over himself once he had steady us I came to realise that I could feel what I could only describe as a pleasant electric shock running through my body I immediately looked up and saw in his emerald eyes that he felt it to.
"oh..erm..sorry' I said stepping back but stumbling over the first step of the stairs and landing with a thump on my backside.
He looked at me in utter shock but then I saw that sexy crooked grin start to spread across his face and next thing I knew we were both in hysterics.
"ill just go put that in the dryer" he chocked out once we had managed to get our breaths back.
"oh…choice…thanks" I said putting my wet clothes in his out stretched hand which of course like the rest of him, were perfect.
He came back a couple of minutes later carrying a white pillow and and a duvet.
I guess he saw my puzzled expression because he said "I figured that you didn't have any where to stay for the night since you didn't even know where you were…so I thought you could crash on the couch…if you don't mind?" he said shrugging
"oh…I love you…thanks so much" I squealed jumping up and hugging him tightly, realising what I had just down I quickly pulled my arms back and stumbled into the couch, sitting down.
'oh…sorry…that just probably the best thing that's happened to me all night or day wait I actually thing its been 36 hours" I laughed
"oh ohk…if you don't mind me asking whys that? I mean why didn't you even know were you were? Aren't you driving somewhere?" he questioned
"as I said it's a long story"
"well we do have till the mechanics open. And you can always stay for breakfast" he suggest
I smiled, taking a deep breath "well basically you could say im running away, wow that sounds like im ten. What I mean is I turned 18 36 hours ago and well decided I had to leave so I packed what I could in ten minutes and jumped into my Chevy with the small bit of cash I had and well put the pedal to the meddle" I joked
He stared at me mouth hanging open I managed to stuttur out "so your homeless"
"well it sounds worse when you say it like that" I mumbled
"I bet your tired so let you get some sleep before morning"he smiled at me sweetly before departing the room.
I flopped back onto the couch and immediately fell into a dream about the amazing beautiful man I had just meet.
