The Sworn Enemies … in Love?

Chapter 1

There I was, sitting in detention with my sworn enemy –Edward- waiting for the supervising teacher to leave. Like always, we were the only ones in the room –apart from the teacher. Eventually, he left and we were alone. A few seconds later, he was sitting on my desk, holding my hand and looking at me with loving eyes. I leaned forward and pressed a soft kiss on his lips. I loved these times where it was just Edward and Bella, the in love teens; not the soccer team captain and the stubborn girl who doesn't care, the enemies.

'How is my girlfriend today?' he asked. I kissed him again and smiled.

'Fine, thank-you.' I replied before turning back to my work but Edward was sitting on my textbook, which made the previous task quite impossible. 'Edward, do you mind getting off of my work?' he looked down at me with a bewildered face.

'You honestly think I'm going to let you work?' I sighed.

'I guess not.' I said more to myself but smiled at him. I put away my books and pulled my textbook from under his butt. I then sat on his lap and leaned into his built chest. I closed my eyed and breathed in his scent. 'How's your grandfather?' I asked.

His grandfather wasn't in the best of states right now. He had lung cancer from when he smoked in his early days. When I went over to Edward's house after school, I would go and saw hi and all he would say to me was: 'Take care of him.' And then he would turn around and fall asleep. Lately, he hasn't even had the energy to say that. I knew he was dying and so did Edward but we never say anything.

'He'll be alright for a few more weeks.' He said, his voice saying that there was nothing left so say about the subject. So I turned around and we stayed like that for another ten minutes –though it felt like hours. Edward would press a kiss on the top of my head and then squeeze me tighter to him –if that was even possible.

When we heard the heavy footsteps of the teacher coming down the hall, I scrambled back into my chair and Edward back into his and we pulled out our books and pretended to work. The teacher came back in with a steaming cup of what I could only assume was coffee. He looked at us and went back to his work. I pulled out a pen and paper and scribbled a note to Edward in my messy scrawl.

I'll meet you in the back when we get out. Love, Bella. I passed it to him while pretending I was stretching and dropped it on his desk. He looked at it and nodded briefly.

For the last twenty minutes of detention, I did nothing but think. I thought about how I was sure I was going to be dragged into shopping with my two best friends, Alice and Rosalie, this weekend. Alice was Edward's little sister who was in the same grade as us. She shared my public dislike for Edward and had no idea we were dating. Rosalie was in our grade and was dating Emmett –Edward's older brother. She too hated Edward.

At the beginning, I hated Edward with all of my guts. He was the most vile, repulsive being to have ever walked the earth's surface. And there was no real reason why I hated him, I just did. Then I got my first detention and he started to charm me. I fell for him and so we started seeing each other out of school and we both agreed to keeping this between us. None of our friends knew anything and it had been over three months. We had been getting detentions often now and I was surprised we hadn't been suspended yet.

When the teacher who was supervising us got bored and said we could leave, we didn't have to be told twice. We ran out and straight to the back of the school, where we met practically every day. We took separate paths that led us to the same place. When I arrived, he was already there. I ran into his open arms and he started kissing me fiercely. There were moments when we would just kiss softly but like in any relationship, the heat rises once in a while.

His soft lips were hot on my skin moving up and down my jaw before landing straight on my lips. I moaned as he opened his lips begging for entrance. I willingly let him in and put my arms tight around his neck and leaned on the wall to keep my balance. He was pulling me closer to him and he kissed me one last time before leaning his forehead against mine. He kissed my nose and we both smiled as we regained our breath.

'I'll see you tomorrow, love.' He whispered, 'I have to get home.' He kissed me once more before bending down to grab his bag from the floor. All I could do was watch. 'I'll call you later, I love you.' He kissed my forehead and hugged me. I leaned into his embrace wishing this moment could last forever.

'I love you, too.' I whispered into his chest and all too soon he pulled away and was off. I grabbed my bag and headed for my car. It was an old pile of crap and I loved it and would never trade it in for something shiny like a Mercedes or a Volvo. I got in, threw my bag onto the passenger seat and started the car with a roar.

My father was waiting for me when I got home. I said I didn't feel like talking and that I had a lot of homework and sprinted up to my room before he had time to say anything. I turned on my music as high as it would go and pulled out my homework. An hour later, I was done and knew that I had to get started on dinner. Just as I was turning off my music, Charlie knocked on my door and handed me the phone with a mad face that said we needed to talk.

'Bella?' I heard my boyfriend say from across the line. That was why he looked so disappointed. He obviously didn't want me talking to the 'bad boy' in town. 'Can you come over to the hospital?' he asked. He sounded scared and he was not the kind of person who would show emotions.

'What happened? Are you all right? Is it your grandfather? I'll be right over.' And I hung up. I ran down the stairs telling my father I had to go and I would be back later. I was in my car and speeding –that wasn't something I usually do- to the hospital.

When I got there, I asked for the Cullen family. The woman at the desk told me to go to the waiting room. I ran there tripping a few times but picking myself up every time. When I got to the waiting room, the whole Cullen family was there, Alice and Esme in tears with Carlisle and Jasper comforting them. Edward was pacing and Emmett was holding a worried Rosalie on his lap. I froze. Edward had called me, why in the world would Edward call me. We were sworn enemies for God's sake. He caught sight of me and looked around him and mouthed 'oops'. I nodded in the way of the corridor and left. Soon after, he was holding me in his arms and his head was on my shoulder crying. I could only rub his back and whisper that everything was going to be all right. I was pretty sure I knew what was going on but I couldn't be sure.

He lifted his head. 'I'm sorry.' He said wiping his eyes.

'No, no. It's all right.' I said in a caring voice. 'What's wrong?' he didn't answer. He only pulled me towards the end of the corridor. We stopped in front of a door and he opened it. Inside, there was his grandfather lying on the bed with God knows how many machines attached to his arms and chest. I turned around to Edward and he collapsed again. It was like when my mother had dies and I had the awful job of comforting my father. Except this time, it was Edward… and that changed everything.

Two hours later, I was sitting on Edward's lap who was sitting on the chair right next to his grandfather. Ha was sleeping so I got up, kissed the top of his head and left the room. I didn't know where I was going but I passed in front of the waiting room to see all the Cullens, none daring to go inside the room. I walked straight and into the elevator. I looked at the levels and picked one. I went up to the third floor and found myself in the natal unit. I walked forward and straight to the nursery. Ever since I was a kid, I had wanted kids. Not just one or two. Five or six. In a way, it was to make sure that my children didn't have to suffer being an only child like I had to. In a way, I resented my parents for that. So I always promised myself that I would have kids.

As I looked through the glass to the babies, I thought about when I would be looking over my child like this. I thought about ten years, twelve maybe. There was a baby in the corner who was kicking his legs around and his little blue socks were seconds from falling off. I chuckled and looked around the nursery. There was a little girl who was looking around with wide eyes. Oh how lucky she was to think everything was still perfect.

'Hey.' I heard from behind me and I knew immediately who it was.

'Hi.' I replied, 'How are you holding up?'

'I'm all right.' Replied my angel. 'It's still sinking in though.' I felt his arms snake their way around my waist and him kiss the top of my head.

'How did you know where I was?' I asked genuinely curious.

'You would be surprised at how much you can learn about someone in their sleep.' He said with a hint of amusement in his tone. 'You never told me you wanted a big family.' I blushed. I thought no one knew.

'Yea…' he leaned down and I felt his lips at my ear.

'I've, always wanted a huge family too.' He stated. I turned around in his arms and kissed his cheek before leaning into his chest. I don't know how long we stayed there but the interruption we received was not welcome at all.

An idea for a story I came up with. It was meant to go in for a competition but I read it to my sister and she told me that it was meant to go in a children's book so I decided to change it to twilight.

I saw the movie the other day. THE MEADOW SCENE… WHERE DID IT GO? I was really disappointed.

I know that last part about the children was totally random but I'm going ot try to get one secret in each chapter.

Also, my story 'mixing feelings' is on hold right now because I have no idea where the story is going so… yea.

Review!! And I don't care if I don't know who you are… hint hint…
