Chapter 2
Where was I? I had absolutely no idea and as thought registered, my panic attack began. I ran wildly around trying to gain contact with another human in this quite otherworldly void that it seemed I had fallen into. I ran fast and hard with my feet making little rhythmic sounds against the pavement. Finally, I saw someone! As I was about ready to break down crying, I saw another person. A guy to be clear about gender. Not that I should actually be thinking about gender. I babbled on in my mind about totally random, irrelevant facts while wondering why he was the only other person around when he called me. More accurately, he lifted his hand and beckoned me over. I stood staring like a complete idiot until he motioned me over again. A bit more urgently than the first time and without thinking twice about it, I walked toward him.
I strode confidently up to him and was about to ask him what he wanted when he stood and enveloped me in a warm, tight, slightly-too-intimate-for-my-liking hug. I froze not being able to comprehend this stranger's actions. Feeling the tension in my muscles, he released me from his embrace and stepped back, his face pale. I took this as an opportunity to inspect him closer and I let my eyes rove over his body taking it all in. Sad thing was, that it was completely obvious that I was checking him out and he noticed for I could see him put on a smirk (that sadly would have beaten my all time favorite Draco Malfoy's by far) and the smirk just kept getting bigger and bigger.
I looked up to fire some sort of smart-assed comment at him but at that instant, his eyes met mine and my mind became foggy. His smirk faded and he slowly reached to hold my arms but the moment our sink made contact, I became dizzy and fell onto him. He gently caught me and we tumbled onto the grass. I lay on the grass beneath his arms as he supported his body weight above mine. I felt drawn to him but yet repulsed at being in such a compromising position with a stranger. A part of me wanted to remain this way forever but the repulsion won over and I pushed him off me, sat up on the grass and scooted a distance away from him to be safe. Something resembling…pain (?!) flashed in his eyes and he spoke, "You really don't recognize me do you?" Though realizing it was a rhetorical question I still said no.
He simply nodded but said, "Look around you where you are. You know this because you've been here before and I know this…because you told me." Taking his advice, I looked around. Properly, since I'd first been pulled into this seemingly foreign place but upon closer inspection, it seemed like home. Where I had lived with my mom, in Arizona before I had shipped myself off to my dad and confined myself to the tiny town of Forks. It seemed like autumn and tall trees swayed gently in the warm breeze and I took in my surroundings. It seemed I was in a park and there was a tiny lake and a playground with a swing set. The sun was just barely seen above the horizon and judging from the mist and foggy air, I assumed it was just the crack of dawn. Shocked at where I was, I looked back at the guy with wide eyes wondering how he had known where I lived before.
As though he read my mind, he said, "You text me often Bella! You know me! Think!"
And so I thought. Although I had already realized from the moment he mentioned texting. He was the only guy I ever texted! With a startled gasp, I mumbled, "Edward?" He nodded.
I stared at him shocked. So this was my text buddy! Finally I knew. Slowly a grin spread over my face and I launched myself at him squishing him to death in a supersized bear hug with a screamed, "EDWARD!"
He laughed lightly at my reaction and slowly detached me from his side, "Hi to you too Bella it took you long enough to realize! It was really hard to get through to you."
I stared at him puzzled at his comment. Hard to get through to me? Huh? My confusion was probably written all over my face because he said, "Bella, this isn't real I had to get through to you!" He emphasized the through but it still made absolutely no damn sense to me. I guessed it still showed on my face because he said again, "I'll explain it some other time to you because we are running out of time here!" He looked around frantically and as he did, I noticed that my surrounding were beginning to blur around the edges like a washed out photo.
He reached out to me but before his hand could grasp mine, the picture went black and I felt myself falling through and endless darkness and being me, I did the only logical thing I could possibly do in such a situation, I screamed.
I felt my feet hit solid ground and I opened my shut eyes still screaming until I realized I was safe. I believed so because I recognized my surroundings. I was in Forks and I know that if I only rounded the corner on which I stood, the third house down was mine. So I was safe right? I smiled and began walking toward my house when I suddenly froze. What had happened to Edward? I didn't know but whatever did, I couldn't go home without him. I turned around about to go look for him when I saw him walking toward me smiling. I smiled in return and began to say ,"H..i." But he didn't hear me. Or either he was just ignoring me. Or maybe he couldn't see me. But whatever the reason, he simply walked past me and I felt my smile slide right off. What was wrong with him? Why was he acting as though I was such a stranger?
I spun around to ask him those questions as he pushed past me however, only to see him march up to a fake blond with a simpering smile that I was guessing was supposed to appear sexy, and kiss her with so much passion that tears welled up in my eyes immediately. Why was he kissing her without so much as a thought or me standing there watching the whole thing? Before I knew it, the make out session became more and more heated and I knew what would happen next and I didn't want to stick around to see it.
I ran past Edward and the blond still making out now on the pavement and ran as fast as I could toward my house. Behind me I heard, "Bella!" I froze and spun around immediately. Edward was looking at me even though the blond was still all over him. His eyes bored into mine as I heard him say, "We were always meant to be! You and I and someday I will find you!" I stood still captivated by his eyes as he spoke and before I was able to reply to his comment, my world went black.
#*Stalker Alert*#
I awoke with a startled gasp and my heart racing frantically then for absolutely no reason, I began to cry. I was puzzled. Did I have a nightmare? I seemed I had but something seemed off. Had I finally met Edward? I wasn't sure although I would have loved for my green eyed Edward to really exist as my text pal. As though right on cue, my phone chimed.
I snatched it up and flipped it open.
To:Bella
From: Mystery Guy
Are you ok?
I stared at my phone. How did he know? I glanced at my clock and did a double take. It was only two in the morning as in Saturday morning and Edward knew something was wrong? That didn't seem too right so I opened a chatbox and continued my conversation.
Bella: Why do you ask?
Mystery Guy: I felt something was wrong. Are you ok?
Bella: I'm fine.
Mystery Guy: You're lying.
Bella: Am not!
Mystery Guy: Are too!
Bella: Ok I am I won't lie to you but again, how do you know?
Mystery Guy: I've just gotten to know you well over the years.
Bella: But I feel I barely know you!
Mystery Guy: Trust me you know more than you think!
Bella: Ok if you say so.
Mystery Guy: What happened? I just felt like you were scared of something.
Bella: I had a bad dream.
Mystery Guy: A bad dream!
Bella: Stop laughing at me!
Mystery Guy: I am not laughing Bella!
Bella: You are too!
Mystery Guy: Ok yes I am but seriously I'm sorry I guess it must have been really scary to be able to frighten you!
Bella: I'll let that taunt slid but yes it scared me. I never had nightmares before!
Mystery Guy: Never?
Bella: Stop laughing at me!
Mystery Guy: I'm not laughing!
Bella: Do we really have to do this again...yes you are laughing!
Mystery Guy: Ok fine! Yes I was laughing! But seriously...do you want to tell me about the nightmare?
Bella: No...it's too vivid...I just can't talk about it now...sorry.
Mystery Guy: Don't worry I'll always be there for you Bella...you can't tell me anything never forget that.
Bella: Thank you.
Mystery Guy: No problem.
Bella: Um...while we're doing this...I want to say you can tell me anything too.
Mystery Guy: Thanks...I'll remember that.
Bella: Er...random question...do you have a blond girlfriend?
Mystery Guy: No...why?
Bella: No reason...it was just a random question.
Mystery Guy: Okkk...you're really a random girl you know that right?
Bella: Is that a compliment?
Mystery Guy:...I think so...
Bella: Well in that case...thank you very much.
Mystery Guy: My pleasure...while we're at it...you talk funny...
Bella: WHAT!?!?!
Mystery Guy: Just kidding...
Bella: YOU BETTER BE!
Mystery Guy: I was...sorry.
Bella: :P I can't stay mad at you! You're too much of a moron!
Mystery Guy: :( So now you can diss me?
Bella: Sorry? :)
Mystery Guy: Hahaha...
Bella: You're probably tired...I woke you up pretty early go and sleep.
Mystery Guy: Yes mommy.
Bella: EDWARD!
Mystery Guy: :P
Bella: :) You bad boy! Go to bed and I'll bake you cookies when you get up!
Mystery Guy: Ok night night mommy!
Bella: Night...but seriously this is really weird!
Mystery Guy: Tell me about it...but I'm too tired to care...so 'nite!
Bella: Goodnight...sleep tight! ...Thanks for being there for me.
Mystery Guy: No problem Bells...love you.
I stared at my phone. Did he really just say he loved me? Wow. I mean really? Wow. I think I was in a state of happy shock. He didn't have a blond girlfriend and he just said he loved me! How could my morning/ night get any better than that! My texting crush had said he loved me! Yay! Oh crap! And me being the moron I was I hadn't replied! Oh shoot! I hurriedly sent a reply.
Bella: I love you too. Now go to sleep.
Mystery Guy: :) Yes mam!
I smiled as I closed off and deleted my conversation with Edward. I didn't want my dad to find it...he was well known for snooping and reading my messages if I ever left my phone lying around. Talk about possessive. It was annoying but I couldn't exactly say anything unless I wanted to get kicked out from the house. Trust me...I wouldn't put it past Charlie to do something drastic like that. He did it to my mom. So why not to me?
I got up and stretched my sore muscles before sitting back down on my bed. My clock read 4'o clock so I snuggled back under the covers and before I knew it, my tired body was motionless and my mind roamed dreamland.
I was free. I was happy. I was in love.
