Okay, heres my first crack at a fanfic. I undertand if its not that good, but thats what reviews are for. Please let me know what you think, because I plan on writing more in the near future, and Id love to know if theres anything I should work on.
Also: I don't own any of the characters of Twilight, Stephenie Meyer does.
I had showered and brushed my teeth slower than usual tonight, taking my time so I could concentrate on my thoughts. Lately I had one thing stuck on my mind: Edward. His name swam through my mind every second of the day, accompanying the face that I saw every time I closed my eyes.
I walked to my room slowly as well, because I knew who would be waiting for me when I got there. Edward is always there at night while I sleep. Before he started doing this, I always had really vivid nightmares. Now, I don't get them as much as I did, and Im sure that he's the reason for that. Its like I rely on him now for a good nights sleep. I always feel so comfortable in his arms, no matter how cold they might be. It just feels so right.
I opened my door to find an empty room. "Edward?" I asked into the dark, with no response. 'Where could he possibly be?' I thought to myself, crawling into bed and pulling the covers up to my shoulders.
This was weird. He NEVER missed a night without telling me, and I must admit, I was really disappointed. More than I should have been.
After many failed attempts at falling asleep, I finally reached over to my bed stand and grabbed my Ipod. When I chose a song to listen to, I closed my eyes and listened to the lyrics, trying not to concentrate on Edward not being there.
As I listened to the music, I opened my eyes. I couldn't help but think about him. The song reminded me of him. I didn't change it, I thought that maybe thinking about him would allow me to fall asleep without his actual presence. I turned up the volume.
I close my door at night
But they get in all right
And she turns on the light
I held her hand so tight
Cause words don't come out right
And she sees things at night
We are closer to the door
I don't get scared no more
But I don't know the score
If I could hold them in my hand
I'd make them understand
Im not a haunted mind
Im not a thoughtless kind
If I could put them in a jar
I know they wouldn't scar
I'd do it if I could
I hope you know I would
'I love this song', I thought to myself during the guitar solo. It just seemed perfect for the mood. I closed my eyes and turned over. 'Edward, where the hell are you?' I felt like saying into the night. I really missed him. The words returned in the song:
I close my door at night
But she gets in alright
So I turn on the light
I, I held her hand too tight
Too hard to make it right
So I could sleep at night
If I could hold them in my hand
I'd make them understand
I'm not a haunted mind
I'm not a thoughtless kind
If I could put them in a jar
I know they wouldn't scar
I'd do it if I could
I hope you know I would
I'd do it if I could
I hope you know I would.
I'd do it if I could
I hope you know I would.
I replayed the song when it ended. I felt really calm and relaxed, but still really frustrated about Edward. Is it really that hard to miss one night without him? I mean come on. I can't be that pathetic…….can I?
My music was so loud that it was a miracle I heard the faint "Bella?" coming from my window.
I sat upright fast, nearly ripping my headphones off. Edward grinned when I looked at him, and he entered my room quietly and cautiously. I didn't even realize that I was grinning too. "Sorry I'm late, love" he said as I pulled off my headphones and put my Ipod back. "Don't worry about it," I said, as he pulled me into a hug and rested me against his chest.
I was now perfectly content.
A/N:
Okay, that was my first fanfic. I really hope you liked it, so please let me know what you think by reviewing. You don't necessarily have to, but it would be nice.
The song used is Late At Night by Buffalo Tom. Its a great song, everyone should listen to it.
I hope to make more stories soon, so if you liked what you read, you can expect more on the way soon!
