This was meant to be a part of chapter one, bear with me people I'm new at this
EPOV
There's the snow again…Right the minute I wanted to drive to the tattoo shop in Port Angeles. "Great" I muttered, "now I'll have to drive slowly" I heard Emmet chuckle behind me.
"You and your issues about slow driving" he laughed.
Rose rolled her eyes at me. I swear ever since those two got engaged and Rose moved in, they are even more annoying.
"Do you even have some space left on that body of yours?" Rose asked.
"That's none of your business" I replied.
As you can see Rose and I aren't the best friends. But she's my brother's choice so I have to put up with her. I'll be glad when the wedding is over in 6 months and those two move out!
As I walked over to my car in the garage I was stopped my Carlisle. "Be nice, son. I know you two don't get along, but your brother loves her" he said to me. "By the way, what are you going to add to that already artful body of yours?" Carlisle always liked my tattoos, because every one of them has a meaning.
"Follow your dreams in Chinese characters. I had the weirdest dream last night and I have a strange feeling about it. I can't shake it off. It's like it holds a message. There was this girl with dark brown waist-length hair and chocolate brown eyes. She took my hand and told me she was waiting for me. Like I told you…strange" I laughed at him.
"Maybe one day you will find that girl" he said meaningfully. "You need to get out more son. I know Tanya has hurt you in ways we can never imagine, but you need to put your heart back open for love. You have wrapped yourself in this little safe bubble."
Tanya…I haven't heard that name in ages because everybody seems to avoid it after what happened. We were high school sweethearts and I loved her with all my heart. That much that I proposed to her on our graduation day and she said yes. I thought I was the happiest man alive.
Man, was I wrong… Believe me, it didn't last long. After our graduation, we went to a party at Mike Newton's house. We talked and chatted with our friends and had a couple of drinks. Tanya told me she needed some air and went for a walk with the girls. After an hour I became very worried and decided to go look where she was. That's when I found her, in the garden behind a stupid tree as if she thought I couldn't see her there, giving Mike Newton a fucking blowjob! I lost my mind and pulled her off him.
"What the hell do you think you are doing?" I yelled at her.
Mike zipped his pants and ran off without saying a word; I could just see the terror in his eyes. He thought I was going to hurt him, which I probably was later, but now I only had eyes for Tanya.
"What does it look like I was doing?" she yelled back, "I'm giving a fucking blowjob as you can see!"
What in the world… she didn't even care I caught her. "Edward" she said without flinching, "this whole thing, us, was just a joke to me. A bet with the girls about who could get the bronze haired god." I couldn't believe what I was hearing. A bet. She never loved me.
"So these past 3 years have just been a joke to you?" I spat at her. "Yes" she replied "thank goodness for Mike otherwise I would have never been able to keep this charade up" she said with an evil grin, "I had to wait until you proposed; otherwise I would have lost the bet."
That was it for me. I turned on my feet, went to the nearest liquor store, bought me a bottle of whiskey and drained it completely. I collapsed and the next thing I remember was waking up in the hospital. Carlisle told me I had alcoholic poisoning and I needed to stay a few days.
I explained to him what happened and no one ever mentioned her name again after I came home from the hospital.
"Edward" Carlisle waved in front of me, because I was staring into the void. "Don't take a trip down memory lane, son. She's not worth it. Oh and I took an invitation for a dinner party tomorrow night at the Swan's place. The chief of police invited us. His daughters are home for Christmas." Just what I needed, a dinner party. Oh well I'll survive I guess… "Nice" I told him. "Can't wait" I muttered sarcastically under my breath as I got into my car and drove, slowly, to Port Angeles…
The roads were almost deserted because of the snow so I had nothing to fear. My Volvo XC 60 doesn't have any troubles with the snow so I didn't have to drive very slow. After an hour I arrived at the shop.
When I entered, Garret, the owner, waved me to the back. He already knew me very good because the last year he has done most of my tattoos.
"Welcome back" he laughed at me. "What can I add this time?" I showed him the signs.
"These, on my inner wrist" I told him.
"Ok, give me a minute to set up my station and make a stencil of this" he said as he took my print of the characters.
I was flipping through the tattoo magazines on his desk, taking in the smell of the shop at the mean time. I loved the smell of fresh ink. Getting tattooed hurts but it's so addictive. But I think it's a great way of imprinting things you never want to forget!
"You can come over" he called to me. I stripped back the sleeve of my sweater and laid my wrist on the table. "Are you ready?" he asked.
I cocked an eyebrow at him "don't you think I have enough to know I'm ready?" I said sarcastically.
He laughed and pressed the needle to my skin. In 15 min the whole thing was done and I got to admire it. "Looking good" I praised him. I paid and took off to go home. I hope it stopped snowing.
When I got home, nearly 2 hours later (it hadn't stopped snowing, on the contrary the snow had thickened since I left the shop), I saw my mom was making dinner. "Hmmm, smells good mom". She looked up and smiled at me. "Dinner will be ready in 10, son. Will you set the table for me?" she asked.
"Course I will mommy dear" I said as I kissed her on the cheek.
Right at that time Rose came in with Emmet in her footsteps. There goes the light mood. "So where's the new tat?" Rose asked. "None of your damn business" I replied angrily. I don't know why but Rose always wakes up the worst in me.
"I don't get you obsession with those tattoos, I think you are abusing and damaging your body!" She complained.
"Rose, just shut it, it's MY body, not yours!" I yelled at her.
I was so tired of this. I finished setting up the table and I stalked off to my room. I saw my mom looking annoyed with Rose so I couldn't help the smug smile that light up my face as I walked up.
After dinner I strode back up to my room. I laid myself out on my bed with the intention to watch some TV. But I fell asleep dreaming of the brown haired beauty again. She was right there where I left her last night. I took her hand and gazed into her eyes. "I was waiting for you too" I told her as I ran my thumb up and down her knuckles. She didn't even looked away but kept staring into my eyes. I felt warm inside and I knew she was the one. I embraced her, bent my head and tried to kiss her.
That's when I woke up. UGH! I hate it when this happens!
I looked at my alarm clock. 7 am, way too early… But all my hopes of falling asleep went down the drain when I rethought my dream. Would there really exist such a girl? It was only a dream after all.
I went downstairs, to find my mom making some coffee. "Good morning son, what are you doing up so early?" she said bewildered. "Couldn't sleep anymore …" I muttered to her. She gave me a cup of coffee and I took it gratefully.
Jasper came down and gave mom a quick peck on the cheek. "Good morning Bro, you look tired…" he said. " I AM tired Jazz! The nights are just too short" I laughed. "I think I'm going to go back to bed" and I took off looking for my bed again.
I slept dreamless this time when my father woke me up. "Son, you need to get up, we need to get ready for the dinner party at chief Swan's". Oh crap, I forgot all about that. I brushed my teeth while jumping into the shower. Speeding myself, I was ready in 10 minutes and found everybody waiting for me.
We arrived at the chief's house and his daughter opened the door. I couldn't see her, but I heard her. There was something familiar about that voice.
I was the last to enter the house, that's when I saw her. She looked right at me.
"This can't be" I thought to myself.
This was the girl I have been dreaming about. I gave her a smile as I entered, too bewildered to say anything. How could this be, how could this beauty out of my dreams live in the same town? I was woken by my thoughts when dad introduced us all and Bella told us she was going to get some drinks. I couldn't let her get out of my sight so I followed after her.
When I saw her stretch on her tiptoes to get the glass out of the cabinet, I could help my thought wandering off. Hmmm, that's a beautiful sight. Edward keep yourself in control!
"Do you want some help with that?" I asked. "Thanks" she muttered, turning a shade of red.
I took the glasses for her and helped her fill them. That's when she accidentally touched my hand; it felt like electricity flowed through it. I felt sparks flowing through me from where she touched me.
That's when I looked at her and saw recognition in her eyes. She has seen me before too…
I hope you like it so far
