I am all-alone in this life. I have no one anymore. After the accident I was left alone in the dark. I have no reason to live anymore but I promised her that I would, and me word is my life. That night so long ago was when my life ended, now I can understand Romeo when he sees Juliet died, but unlike that Juliet, mine will never wake again. It was so far 17 years ago, 3 months, 2 weeks, 5 hours, and 30 minuets ago. Renee was coming up on her and Phil's anniversary, and she wanted to do something with everyone, also it was a present for….I cannot even speak of her name. Her and Charlie where invited down to Jacksonville for a summer to remember. They had big plans and were so existed for it. They were going sailing and diving, there was a big beach party that was going to happen. I of course was invited, but I could not be in the sun. I made the excuse that I get boat sick and could not do that part, but the beach party was going to be at night, so I was fine with that. I went alone the plane ride with Charlie in between me and "her" so nothing as he put it bad happened.
When the plane landed Renee met us at the gate and Phil. Renee hugged Charlie and her daughter, and Phil did the same. They both shook my hand afraid to make to much contact. When the plane landed it was dark so I did not have to cover myself too much. When we got there, it was men in one room, women in the other. I was in a room with Phil and Charlie, what great fun. What they had on their minds was even worse then what Renee had put me through. They both thought of "her" as a daughter and wanted to be sure she was safe with me.
"SO, Edward, what are your plans in life?" Phil was the most supportive of Charlie's disapproval.
"I plan to go to collage and get a degree in music and become a pianist." It was not the truth, but they did not need to know the full extent of our plans.
"So you plan to support a family on a pianists money?" Charlie was not mad but not very happy with being in the same room as me.
"Well, each of us get a lot of money from Carlisle and well when I was adopted I had a large some of money. With that it would be quite easy. AND, I would fully support "her" in what ever she wanted to do in life." I knew that was their next question.
"Well that is good to hear." Both were not sure what to say next.
"Well, any was I am bushed and I need some sleep for tomorrow." Charlie said stretching out and lying down.
"Me too, good night Charlie, good night Edward." We said our goodnights and went to sleep, or so they did. I lay awake till I knew they were out cold. I listened for Renee to do the same. Soon enough she fell asleep. I listen as footsteps sounded in my ears. I laughed a little at the thought the she was trying to be sneaky. I got up without a sound. The door slide open and closed as I stepped out onto the porch. The moon was breath taking, as the stars danced around it in an unbreakable balance.
"There you are. I have been looking for you. I figured you would not be in a room with my fathers much longer." Her voice said as she walked up to me and grabbed me around my waist in a hug. I wrapped my arms around her and laid my head on top of hers. I kissed it lightly and took in her breath taking scent.
"You smell divine." I said as I lead her over to a set and pulled her around on my lap.
"Not was much as you do." She laid her head back down on my chest after she had said this. I could feel her smelling me.
"You know, if I were human that might tickle." I said. I little laugh came from her.
"It just might." She said. She turned her head to my and kissed my chin. Her warm breath was nothing that could be compared. She traced my skin up and down my jaw. I turned my head to her and smiled, her favorite smile. I kissed her gently on the lips and whispered,
"Love you. Not time nor space can change that, you know that right?"
"Of course I do. And you most know the same goes for you." We sat there a while taking each other in. There was nothing more to really take in or so you would think. For some reason there was always something more to take in, like when some one else learns a new skill. With her on my lap I felt whole, not one part of me was missing. With her here I knew that I could maybe possibly come to terms with what I was. I realized that she had fallen asleep in my arms. I kissed her head lightly, I never wanted to loss her. I loved her too much, I wish we could just stay here, like this forever. I picked her up as not to wake her. I put her next to Renee and kissed her forehead once more.
"I love you." Her muffled voice floated up to me.
"I love you too." I whispered in her ear. I walked out ready to let go tomorrow for their sailboat trip.
