A/N: Here's chapter 2! Please read and review! Hey... That rhymes! I'm a poet and I didn't even know it!
Edward's POV:
I was running through the forest in Forks. In was sometime around midnight, so I knew there would be no hikers.
With ever step, I was getting more and more nervous. What if my angel saw me? If I revealed myself to her, would she accept me back into her life?
I was standing at the side of her house, right next to the tree that was under her window.
I took a deep breath and sprinted up the old tree, finding impossible foot- and hand-holds.
I looked through her window, which was slightly open. I could hear her heart beat, and my own heart, which felt non-existent, felt like it let out a few beats of its own.
Bella's heart rate picked up, and he started letting out little squeaks; miniature screams.
It was weird; I kept getting small flashes of what she was thinking (I know, he can't really read her thoughts, but for this case, he can), almost like she was projecting her thoughts to me, specifically. I saw small flashes of a forest, full of light, but getting darker. The view of the forest was always shifting, like she was running. I felt a jolt go through me when I realized I recognized the part of forest she was dreaming of; the part where I had lied to her.
"Bella," I whispered. I saw my angel shiver, and I got one last flash of what she was dreaming. She was on the ground, crying both in her dream and in her bed.
I silently opened her window and climbed in.
I walked over to her bed and wrapped my arms around her.
"No," she cried quietly. I felt her shiver in my arms and she moved closer to me. "Edward," she whispered my name, a small smile playing on her lips, but the smile was short-lived. The next second, she started sobbing again. "NO!" she screamed.
I let go of her at that second. The moments she screamed "no", she tried to sit up, which was when I let go, and her eyes snapped open.
She glanced around the room. She couldn't see me, of course, since I was running in a straight line from side to side, too fast for her to see.
She kept looking around her room, though. Her gaze rested on her window. I felt my face slightly drain of any color in it. I had left the window open all the way.
Bella got up and walked over to her window. She looked outside, turning her back to her room, and I took the opportunity to run into her closet.
"Edward?!" she called out her window. "Edward!" she sank to her knees on the floor and started sobbing. "Edward, Edward, Edward..." Her voice was getting softer and softer as she repeated my name. Bella drew her legs closer to her chest and sobbed into them, saying my name every few minutes. My entire being was aching to go to her; it was incredibly hard to resist the urge to comfort her.
"Bella," I breathed her name softly. Her head snapped up and she looked around her room, expectantly.
"Edward?" she whispered. I closed my eyes and tried to shut out all sounds. "Edward, if you're listening, I'm going cliff-diving tomorrow with Jacob. I'm really excited to see you in my mind. I hope that, this time, I'll see, and hear, you more clearly then ever before. The motorcycles where good for a while, but I don't hear you as well now, since I'm getting better at riding the bike." Bella paused and looked around her room again. "Honestly, I hope Jacob cancels on me. I don't want him to see how I act when I hear your voice and see you. I've only actually see your face in my delusions once before. I'm figuring, since you don't love me anymore, I'll just hope that the cliff-diving finishes my life." Bella let out a small, dark laugh. I stood in her closet, petrified that she might actually kill herself. "After all, what's the point in living without you?"
"Bella," I said softly. "Bella, my angel, don't go tomorrow."
"Why shouldn't I?" Bella asked.
"Because I still love you," I whispered.
"How can I believe that? You left me, and you didn't leave anything of yourself behind. I nearly died in the first month," Bella said glumly.
"Bella, I'm going to come back for you. I'll come back tomorrow; just don't go cliff-diving, my angel. Don't kill yourself."
"Do you swear to come back tomorrow?" Bella asked.
"I swear," I said. "If I came tonight, would you be happier?"
"Yes," Bella sighed. "My world would have meaning again."
"Then I'll come. Go back to sleep, my angel. I'll be with you when you wake up."
Bella looked around and went to her bed. She got under the blanket.
A/N: And that's chapter 2! I'll try to write chapter 3 while I still have the day off. Also, Grease ROX!
