Hey, guys! Here's another story for you. I just thought of it out of the blue -- literally, it just hit me. Enjoy!!
Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight, New Moon, or Eclipse (unfortunately...) The wonderful and creative Stephenie Meyer does. : )
Bella's POV
Edward had left on a hunting trip. And guess what? He took his whole family with him. I had the entire Cullen house all to myself for the weekend. I was so proud of myself.
Edward, for some reason, had begun to trust me with being alone, and not to try and kill myself somehow...
Anyways, the point was, I was completely alone to think for the whole weekend. I was free of vampires, werewolves, and God knows what else. Just me and my thoughts.
After I finished putting away the dishes from my lunch - grilled cheese and milk - I went upstairs to Edward's and my room, plopping down on the bed, trying to decide what CD to listen to, relaxing myself completely.
Edward's POV
I left her to herself in the house, my mind set on the fact that she wasn't completely dependent on me: she could take care of herself for one weekend. It was only two days. She could handle that, right? Of course. But could I?
"Edward, stop worrying! Bella's going to be fine," Jasper said to me, feeling my distress at these disturbing thoughts.
I looked up at him gratefully. "Thanks, Jasper. I really hope so."
Emmett drove up in the big Jeep, tires squealing, jumping out saying, "Come on, people! Let's go!" He was eager to get going; he was hungry.
We all piled into the big car, and off we went to some reserve in Florida...
Bella's POV
After I finished listening to the seventeenth CD, I thought I might as well take a shower, and get dressed. I was going out tonight.
I don't know why I thought about this now. If anything, I should take Edward along when I go someplace. But no. I felt really independent tonight, so I wanted to show it off. I didn't know where I would go; I just wanted to go out.
I skipped merrily to the bathroom, once again surprised momentarily by the enormity of it. Alice really did go high-hog when she wanted to.
I stripped, getting ready to make it into the shower. When I finally did, the warm - almost hot - water ran over my bare skin, making me feel warm and fuzzy inside. Then I heard something, something that made me jump really high and hit my head on the sprayer.
"Ow!" I shouted to no one in particular, cursing myself for my stupidity.
Then I heard the same bumping sound again, making me wonder what the hell it was...
AN: I know, I know, cliffy. But sorry. I'll try to do more next time!!!
