First Chapter! Sounds really similar to Stephenie Meyer, but I promise it'll get better!
Anything familiar isn't mine.
His ice cold fingers entwined with mine.
"Good morning." He whispered into my ear. I smiled, feeling the cool breeze of his breath and lovely scent washing over me.
"Good morning to yourself." I retorted and stretched up for a kiss. He awarded me with a small peck before drawing something out from behind his back.
"Your gift?" He smiled, waving a thin silver package in the air. I frowned – I didn't want any more reminders that I was finally older than him. Edward's face dropped, and then lit up again.
"Later, then." He grinned, teeth flashing in the dim light of cloudy Forks. Alice skipped up to me and dragged me by my hand across the parking lot.
"It's your birthdayyy." She sang. I half-heartedly shushed her.
"Still a secret then? Alright. Just be sure to come over tonight." She smiled angelically.
"But I still have to watch Romeo and Juliet!" I insisted. She pouted, and Edward came back and laced his fingers through mine once more. He pressed his lips to my cheek once.
"Don't worry, Alice. I'll bring her around… 7?" Alice's bell-like laugh tinkled through the air as she ran off, waving her fingers at me.
I pouted, and Edward looked at me, reprimanding, and pressed his lips to mine once more before heading to class. "I love you more than the world." He breathed, his golden eyes burning into mine. "I know." I replied and leaned my head against his arm.
-Time lapse: The day after the party-
I awoke with my arm pressed against the soothing cool of Edward's skin. He gazed down upon me, pondering something. Suddenly, he dragged me out of the bed and pulled me up to his lips desperately. Faintly, I was reminded of last year, when James threatened my life, as my lips moved against him. Soon, as always, he pulled his lips away from mine and glanced out the window.
"I have to go." He choked out, throwing open the window. I reached after him, heart breaking – was he leaving me?
"Edward! Wait!" I cried hopelessly. "Are you coming back?" I choked up, tears filling my eyes. At the look of despair on my face, his eyes betrayed some sadness.
"I don't know." He whispered, barely audible to my human ears.
"You can't be leaving me. You can't!" I cried, tears flowing fully.
"I have to, Isabella Swan. I want to be with you in my whole entity – no restrictions, no fear, no danger to your life. And I refuse to return without figuring out how to accomplish that – how to be human again."
"And if that's impossible? If that day never comes? If I'm old and wasted and GONE when you come back?" I choked out, my heart continuing to beat painfully, despite my wishes to never be without him. I reached desperately after him, clutching at his shirt.
"Please, Edward. Stay."
"I can't." He said, voice completely void of emotion, and turned away. Carefully, he pried my fingers away from his shirt, and leapt gracefully out the window.
"Don't go." I choked out into the night air. And I thought, just maybe, I heard three words.
"I love you." It seemed to carry on the wind, and seal up my heart completely. Forever frozen until he returned for me.
