I've given all I can
It's not enough
I've given all I can
Alice stuck to her 'surprise' and wouldn't tell me anything. I am sitting on my bed in room 3014, which will be the room I will soon see last. Alice came round at 5, she dressed me in a short black, dress but I refused to wear it. I went over to my wardrobe and picked the only dress she had bought me I would wear in public. It was 'Beny and Hizzin has a deep v-neckline and full-length sleeves, the mini length makes this dress perfect for layering or with tights and the soft shape of the dress and drop waist will accent your curves, God, Bella how could you not know that?' Alice's exact words, I was also forced into a pair of dark brown, suede heels and various necklaces and bracelets hanging of me. As well as the first dress I refused make up and anything she was going to do to my new hair, even if it did look too much like my old plain hair for my taste.
All my tests were finished and I was just waiting for Alice's big surprise. I started fidgeting with the end of my dress trying to avert my mind from anything that didn't have to do with the reason I was in the hospital. While trying to do this, it just seemed that my mind wonder to him. Edward Cullen. I am so weird and obsessed it's scary, I dream every night of what it would be like to meet him but I don't know anything about the guy for all I know he could be an evil bastard who hates everyone on earth and wants to kill everyone slowly looking into their eyes while sucking all the blood from their veins... well, maybe not that bad. But I didn't know anything about this guy and it just seemed every time I saw his picture or his name was mentioned everything made sense for a second and I felt like I knew why I was here. But as I said, I didn't even know the guy.
"Bella!" Alice shouted as she ran into the room, "Your surprise is in the elevator and will be here in 27... no, 24 seconds so close your eyes," Alice ran over to me and soon everything went black as her tiny hand covered my eyes. I heard a shuffle of feet at the door and then silence, I turned towards the noise, trying to figure out what it was.
"Well aren't you going to say hello?" I heard Alice's high pitched voice ring from beside me.
"Hi," I felt my heart beat suddenly increase at the sound of his voice, it was perfect, just like velvet. I didn't know who this was but I needed to see them, just to see if their face had anything compared to their perfect voice. I reached my hand up and peeled Alice's fingers away, I turned to Alice and saw her beaming towards the door and my eyes quickly shot in that direction to see what she was looking at.
Oh my god. My life dream had come true and I didn't know what to do, I was frozen staring into the emerald orbs I had had so many dreams about.
Edward Cullen.
THE Edward Cullen was standing in the doorway of my hospital room staring at me. As a reflex I shot my hand up to check that my wig was on properly. It was. So why was he just standing looking at me like that? I'm sure I was doing the same, pictures didn't do him justice. His hair was dishevelled and flew out in all directions, his skin was pale white but showed such contracted to the emerald of his piercing eyes, his mouth was opened partly but you could see the sparkling, white teeth from behind his pink lips, his jaw line was perfect and his body was just the same... perfect. His rippling muscles stood out from beneath the white of his shirt and you could see his legs were toned even from beneath his dark jeans.
I took a deep breath trying to steady my nerves.
"I'm gunna go I'll be back in a few hours. Have fun," I didn't really listen to what she was saying until she shouted from the hall, 'Remember protection!" I'm sure I blushed a hundred shades of red but didn't look away from his widening eyes. When I thought the lump in my throat had disappeared I tried to break the silence, "H-hi, c-come and sit h-here," I stuttered pointing to the chair I turned to face as he walked towards it. GREAT, I screamed to myself, now he thinks you're an idiot, how nice!?
He held out his hand for me to shake, " Edward Cullen," his voice rung through my ears like a lullaby I took his hand and felt a pulse of energy pulse through it, I gripped onto his hand tighter, as he did to mine, trying to keep the feeling there, "Isabella Swan, but you can call me Bella?" He realised my hand and I tried not to frown at the loss of feeling. He shot a crocked smile at me and I felt my heart flip inside my chest, I couldn't help but smile back.
"I'm sorry if I'm being rude asking but what are you doing here?" I asked and I am sure the blush on my already red cheeks shone more.
I thought I saw a frown on his face before he answered, "This is room 3014 isn't it?" he asked looking towards the door, "yes."
He turned back to me before the questioning in his eyes disappeared, "Oh yeah I forgot, your friend, Alice I presume, signed you for the 'Time Flies foundation' as I surprise, I kinda forgot," he shrugged, "Surprise?" I laughed at the puzzled look on his face and it was like I forgot who he was.
"Surprise?" I asked through my giggles, "great opening line Edward." I laughed and saw a variety of emotions pass through his face until he settled on humour.
"Well, I try my hardest," he said his hand flying over his heart.
"So, tell me about yourself if what Alice said about coming back in a few hours is true I need to know something about you," I said folding my legs and gesturing for him to start when I was comfortable.
"Well, my names Edward Cullen, as you know. Erm... I turned 18 on the 20th June. I have a brother called Emmett, who needs serious mental help, he's engaged to Rosalie whose brother is my best friend Jasper, who is obsessed with the civil war for reasons unknown. My father is a doctor, Carlisle and my mother, Esme is an interior designer and... I play the piano and listen to music most of the time," he sent me a quick smile before gesturing towards me, "what about you?" He smiled again and I couldn't deny him.
"Yeah, I'm Bella. I am 17. I live with dad here in Forks. My best friend Alice is basically my sister, I either sleep at her house or she at mine so we are never apart, we do everything together and basically have one brain. We even finish of each other's sentences sometimes," I laughed along with him and suddenly I felt comforted, like I could tell him anything and that's when it just ran out of my mouth and the tears started forming, "my mom died a year and half after giving birth to me of lung cancer, the same thing I have. I miss her loads but I don't want to upset Alice by talking about it. I know I should be able to talk to Alice about everything but when it comes to my cancer I don't want to make her carry the burden as well so I don't talk about it even though its burning up inside of me," the tears were rolling down my cheeks of their own accord and they wouldn't stop. I felt horrible that Edward just sat there listening to me babble on about something he wasn't interested in but then he just came over and wrapped his arms around me. I lay my head against his hard, warm chest and I felt the same shock pulse through my system. I clung to his shirt trying to keep the sensation there and he let me.
By the time Alice came back into the room, 7 hours later declaring that we had to leave or else Charlie would kill her, we were still in the same position. Although I wasn't crying, I was just looking up into his sparking eyes laughing at some story from his thrilling childhood with Emmett. I told him everything about me it just all spilled out and when I told him something about my mom or my cancer he just held me tighter making the electricity pulse through us faster. My heart was accelerating and doing summersaults for the past 7 hours and I hadn't minded, it felt amazing.
His arms unrevealed from me and I held back my wince at the loss of his touch. I looked up into his eyes which were staring straight back at me, an emotion buried in them I couldn't figure out. We just continued to stand there looking into each other's eyes, I was content and happy without the touch of his skin and would have stayed like that forever if it wasn't for Alice's whine in the back of my thoughts, "Bellaaaaaaa," her voice rattled through my brain and I blushed wondering how long I had been staring up at the god in front of me.
I felt a cold, finger lift up my chin, an electric shock pulsed through me once again, "Do you mind if I could back?" my heart skipped beats thinking this Adonis would ever want to spend time with me.
I just nodded knowing my voice would fail me if I ever tried to talk. He shot a crooked smile in my direction and I held onto the bed tighter for support since my legs seemed to have given up.
"Well, I will see you soon, Bella," he lifted my hand up to his mouth and his smooth, cold lips pressed against it. My hands gripped the bed tighter.
He started moving towards the door and just before he turned the corner I whispered, "soon," I felt the grin slid onto my face and I kept my head towards the door silently hoping for him to make a return. My eyes fluttered down towards my hand, the wonderful sensation was still flickering through it from where his lips had touched. I stroked my fingers across trying to keep the feeling.
I heard come from behind me. I turned finally remembering my best friend would have been there, witnessing the whole thing. The familiar blush crept onto my eyes and I couldn't meet her gaze.
"So..." she started, "did you like my surprise?" I looked up and saw the grin that had spread across her face. I let out a giggle but it came out more as a sigh, "yes."
For a minute there
I lost myself
See, for a minute there
I lost myself
