CHAPTER 2! ENJOY ENJOY ENJOY ENJOY!
Ow...when i started to regain consciousness i felt a spurge of pain comeing from my head. what happened last night? i slowly opened my eyes to find myself in my bedroom...undressed. once again mike got what he wanted against my deranged monster! i slowly shook off the names i was calling that monster in my mind as i realized it was 7am. i had to be at work in 1 hour.
Man was i in pain! i could barely move out of bed but i had to examine myself anyways. i slowly limped to the bathroom and flicked the light on. what i saw in the reflection the mirror held, i couldnt believe my eyes. there, stareing at me, was a girl with a black eye, claw marks on her neck, a swollen wrist, and a badly bruised thigh. this would be hard to cover up.
crap! there goes the last remains of my makeup on my eye. i still had the bruise on the corner of my eye showing. i terribly hope no one notices.
i quickly wrapped my swollen wrist with gauze and got dressed, mike wouldnt be here this morning but he would be here tonight. i slowly walked down the staires in my work uniform, grabbed my coat and walked to work.
"hey angela" i spoke to my cheery friend as i entered the bookstore.
"hey bells." she smiled and looked at me as she layed her head on her hand while she sit behind her counter.
"um, whats up." angela giggled softly, walked over to my counter, lifted a purple colored bag, and walked away. strange...
i walked over and looked at the bag suspicously. there was a note, i took it and read it to myself.
Bella,
roses are red, violets are blue,
coffecake is delicious, heres some
for your beauty is unique, that
no one can mock, ill be there to see you
at 11o'clock.
-Edward
i suddenly caught myself smileing. Edward had wanted to see me again. but why was i so happy? i really dont know. but right now its 10:55am and he would be here any minute. i sighed in happiness, lifted the coffecake out of the bag, and began nibbleing on it.
"Excuse me miss, but do u happen to know where i can find a clumsy brunette?" he whispered to me, i spun around and found him behind me with a rose in his hand.
i smiled slightly."hey" he hugged me carefully for some reason and placed the rose in my hand.
"this is for you."
"thank you" i sniffed the rose. it smelt lovely.
"can i ask you something." he spoke with a hopeful look in his eyes. now how could i say no to that?
"of course."
"well i was wondering if youd like to come with me to dinner later." he asked in a low mumble. but of course this struck me. i wanted to say yes but...i had to be home early and...why would he want me? im clearly un-wanted by the male gender (according to mike.)
"umm...it depends, how late."
"it doesnt really matter. whatevers ok with you." he grinned the flawless grin and i had to act quickly.
"one sec." he nodded as i walked over to angela.
"hey ang?"
"si?"
"can i get off of work early?" i asked her as i bit my bottom lip. which hurt she just smirked and giggled.
"sure, but for what? you have a date with ed-" she suddenly stopped and got a confused look on her face. oh god.
"bella...why is there a bruise next to your eye." CRAP! she saw it! think bella think!
" i um...ran into a door but yea thnz ang gtg back to work bye!" i walked off after that. would she believe me? would she question me? oh god stupid stupid bella!
as soon as i got back to edward i pulled myself back together.
"sooo...tonight?" i asked with a smile. i swear i saw his eyes light up.
he nooded once."tonight." he grinned and stole a piece of coffecake and popped it into his mouth.
"u gonna stick around for awhile?" please say yes.
"ofcourse." he said as he jumped and sat on top of my counter. i giggled and shoke my head as i got back to work.
- 5:40pm-
"hey ang im leaving ok." i yelled to her on my way out. i couldnt face her after wat she saw.
"so where would u like to go ."
"can we go take a walk in the park first?" i had to ask. that was like my daily routine.
"ofcourse." we silently walked to the park. altho through the silence, i felt as if i could hear what he was thinking.
"so bellsy, tell me, which do u enjoy night or day.?" edward asked with mock curiousity.
"day definately." i smiled at him.
"hmmm...why?"
because he causes less pain to me in the mornings. "because i enjoy the sunlight and stuff." i smirked at him and got lost in his eyes. until i hit something hard.
"OWW!" i ran into a tree getting lost in his eyes...wat the hell? errrrrrrggg that tree hit me hard in my head.
"are you ok." he spoke as he helped me off the ground i slowly nodded.
"y-yea i think so." i wasnt ok tho i had a strange feeling in my head but i ignored it.
-5 minutes later-
"...but ofcourse if one wasnt as clumsy as i, this would never have..." i slowly stopped speaking.i felt pain comeing from my head. excrutiateng pain. and then i felt something wet falling from my head to my face.
"omg bella your bleeding!" edward exclaimed as he came to a stop. i lifted my hand to my cheek to take off the substance but by then i was loseing consciousness, and began my way to the ground.
-9:45pm-
"bella please wake up." i heard a whisper as i came close to awakening. the voice sounded so angelic. was i dead?
"mmmm...where...am i." i was so confused. suddenly i felt stong arms wrap around me and pull me into a hug.
" oh bella thnak god your ok! i was so worried i would lose you!" Edward? what the hell happened?
"Edward...where am i?"
"your in my appartment bella, do u remeber what happened?" i was in his home. ofcourse. it smelt just like him.
"ummm...i think i ran into a tree or something?"
"ok you remember...good." there was worry and curiousity on his face. but then i realized something and became extreamly alarmed.
" OMG EDWARD WAT TIME IS IT?" mike is gonna murder me if im late.
"um, 9: 49 why." OMG!
" oh god i REALLY have to go." i tried to get up until i felt strong arms stop me.
" bella stop freaking out you-"
"NO NO NO I HAVE TO GO!" i got out of his grip and started running out of his bedroom.
" bella please whats wrong, stop freaking!"
i suddenlt tripped and hit the floor with a loud thud.
"DAMN!" just my luck. fearing my fate for when i arrived home i just stayed laying on edwards liveing room floor sobbing.
" bella! bella please dont cry whats wrong!" edward spoke as he held me as i cried.
i spoke without thinking "IF I GO HOME NOW HES GONNA GET ME, HES GONNA GET ME EDWARD PLEASE DONT LET HIM GET ME!" oh god what did i just blurt out!
"bella dont worry i wont let him get you." he didnt question me but he just holding on to me as i sobbed into his chest. being with him seemed to make me feel alive and comfortable. was i falling for him?
-3:34am-
Edward stayed up and held me until i fell asleep in his arms. he must have carried me into his room to sleep. thing is i couldnt. i was to terrified to sleep. but also..i wanted him to be laying beside me...he wasnt.
all i did was look at the cieling since 2am. thats it i cant take it anymore. i need him next to me. i slowly got up out of bed. and walked to the liveing room. i saw him sleeping on the couch as i walked infront of it. he looked so angelic. i slowly kneeled beside him and poked his shoulder.
"Edward?" i whispered his name. suddenly his hand grabbed mine and he placed it on his cheek. then his eyes opened slowly.
"yes isabella?" he grinned.
" um...im scared to be alone...can u come sleep with me please?" i asked him with pleading eyes.
"ofcourse bella." he smiled and got up off the took my hand and we walked to his room. i was first to sit on the bed. Edward just looked at me.
"what?" i had to ask. i was wondering why he just looked at me. he then kneeled down besides my legs and took my hand.
"bella please be honest with me."
"umm...ok." oh god dont tell me.
"bella...after i carried you from the park to here, i checked you over and washed your i was cleaning your face i saw scars all over your face, and scaratches all over your neck. and then when u freaked out saying 'he was going to get me'...bella is someone hurting u at your house?"
oh god."w-what?"
"bella please if someone is hurting you, u need to tell me." he looked at me with pleading eyes and squeezed my hand alittle. should i lie? should i try to run? should i trust this guy who i have fallen for?
