You have stolen my heart,
You have stolen my heart,
I quickly shut off my radio. If I had to listen to another love song, I don't even know what I would do. It seems like every song is a love song nowadays. There are no more "we are the champions" or "teenage wasteland", the classics. Now it's all about the "You have stolen my heart's." God, happy relationships make me sick, like Jasper and Alice together, all the love that oozes out of their eyes when they look at each other, I have to leave the room before I barf! I think my attitude towards love is because I cannot find a single girl that interests me, except for her.
Her deep green, beautiful eyes, flowing locks of wavy brown hair that compliments her sun kissed skin perfectly. Her infectious smile, the way her lips move as if wanting to torture me. I just can't get her face out of my mind, and her name, Madison, heavenly. I feel myself going to mush just thinking about her. And the way her hair seems to glisten in the morning sun when our cross-country team runs and those shorts she wears that I swear are meant to make me ogle at her amazing legs.
Why did I have to mess up our whole situation by telling her I liked her friend Jessica? WHY AM I SUCH A PRICK? I can't stand Tanya, and her revolting attempts to make me like her. The way she won't stop flirting with me, it just nasty! I was hoping to make Madison jealous by telling her I liked her friend, little did I know, she was all for it! She wanted me to be with Tanya because, and I quote, "Tanya's liked you forever! Now that you like her, her dreams will all come true! Edward, she will make you so happy! I want to set you two up, please Edward, please?"
So of course I had to make up some bogus lie as to why I didn't want to actually date Tanya, and crushed her spirits. She will never know how much that hurt me, seeing her upset, I wanted to pull her into my arms and make all of her problems go away, I wanted it to be just me and her. But of course, this is reality, that would never happen, she loves me like a brother, and that is all. I could feel my heart breaking all over again just thinking about it. Thinking about how she will never be mine, how I can never have more than a brotherly hold on her, how I could never kiss her like I want to, or just hold her for hours and not speak a word, just remain in the embrace.
All this was going through my head as I got up and decided to get dressed and ready for school. Quickly pulling on a white and blue Areopostale polo and Abercrombie jeans, I made my way out of my bedroom, and down the stairs, still envisioning Madison in my mind's eye.
"Is that you I hear on the stair Edward?" I heard Esme call out, "because if it is, get in the kitchen for breakfast dear, right now."
"Yeah mom, it's me, I'm not really hungry ok, I'll just get a pop tart and get to school ok?" I said as I appeared in our spacious kitchen.
"Okay honey, as long as you get some food in you, I'm happy." She replied as I grabbed the two pop tarts that sprang up from the toaster.
"Bye mom," I said as I jogged out of the kitchen and to my Volvo. My pride and joy, I loved it almost as much as I loved her (I couldn't bring myself to think the name in case I broke down in front of someone) , but nowhere near as much as I loved her in my Volvo. As soon as I got in, I was reminded of the last time she was in here, last night when I drove her home. The smell of her Versace Bright Crystal perfume still lingered on the passenger seat. I got her that perfume for her birthday, she's worn it every day since then, I used to think this was a way of her telling me she liked me as more than a friend but I was wrong, very wrong. She told me that Ethan, that vile Ethan Samuels who stole her from me, complimented her on it one day and was hoping he'd notice every time she wore it.
I sighed, and made my way to Forks High. Today was the day that the cross country and basketball sign-up sheets were going up. At least I had something to look forward to today; unfortunately Madison was going to be away so I wouldn't be able to see her. Any day away from her was bound to be a bad day.
I quickly parked my Volvo and started making my way to my family. I saw Alice, Jasper, Rose and Emmett all by our regular spot in the cafeteria.
"Oh look who it is, Fork's own drama king," said Emmett sarcastically.
"Shut up Em," I retorted. "Just because you already got the girl of your dreams doesn't mean you get laugh at me trying to get mine!"
"Edwaaarrddd!" whined Alice, "She is NOT the girl for you, why can't you accept that? You only THINK you love her, someone better will come along Edward, trust me on that."
"Alice, how can you of all people say that? You know about everything that has happened between us, EVERYTHING! You even suggested the jealousy thing, how can you say that there's someone else out there? NO ONE CAN EVER TAKE HER PLACE, she's my whole world," I stated then sighed, "She just doesn't know it yet."
"Okay Edward, whatever you say, but when something better comes along, then we'll talk." She replied.
"Speaking of new people, you guys heard about the new girl yet?" asked a very uninterested Rosalie, out of all the people I considered family, she was the only one that said she hated Madison and that I deserved something better than a tramp from the get-go. She was lucky she had my brother for a boyfriend that day because I would have ripped her head off for saying something like that.
"Omg, OF COURSE! Everyone in the whole school knows about that! I can't wait, she is going to be my new best friend!" stated a very confident Alice.
"Of course Alice, whatever you say, I mean who could resist your addiction to shopping and hyper attitude?" joked Jasper.
"OH!" exclaimed Alice, "I thought you loved me Jasper, I'd expect that comment from Emmett but from you? I'm really hurt!"
We all cracked up as Alice crossed her arms over her chest and left with a grunt. Jasper quickly followed her and Emmett and Rose left for their class, leaving me standing all by myself in the cafeteria. I sighed and started making my way to English, a class I would have with Madison and would look forward to any other day when she would be at school. Today English was like a torture chamber meant to miss her even more. The others just didn't get it, I know I love her, being away from her makes me physically sick and being in the same room as her makes me the happiest person alive.
As I entered the English building, and went to sit down at my desk, I stared at her empty seat right beside me, wishing she was in it. I had known her since the first day of school freshman year and we instantly became best friends through our love of running but I knew I fell for her as soon as I looked into her eyes and saw myself in them.
I could not wait until Lunch, at least then I had an excuse to not be around my awful family and have to listen to their "opinions" of my business. Finally the bell telling us to go get food rang. I couldn't even remember anything of what my teachers said the past 3 periods. All my thoughts revolved around her. Every single, infinitesimal thing she said or did since I've known her. How she would always smile and rush into my arms for a hug as soon as she saw me. I remember her saying my name in at least 10 different situations.
I made my way into Building 3 for the cross country sign up, and for the basketball sign-up that would be at the end of the day. I was one of the first people inside and when I saw the coach setting everything up. He looked up to see who entered and saw me.
"Oh, hey Edward, ready for the season to start?" he asked with a smile on his face. "You know that you're our schools pride and joy when it comes to running. You and Madison are the best runners we have."
"Hey coach, yeah I cannot wait to run for the team again and I know Madison feels the same. However she's not at school today so I'm going to sign her up, is that ok sir, I know your policy on signing another person up," I said.
"Oh of course, you know my policy doesn't apply to you two, this team would be nothing without everything you two have to offer," he said with a smile.
"Thanks coach," I answered smiling. Soon enough, other people started coming inside. I saw Ethan and his varsity basketball jacket and wanted to rip his open his throat. I mean sure we were teammates and co-captains but that doesn't mean I have to like him. Since when did he start to run cross-country anyways, he always complains when we have to run laps around the track during basketball practise.
"Hey Ethan," I said as I approached him, faking a smile. "I never knew you liked running, why the sudden change of heart?"
"Oh hey Edward, no I don't like running, but Madison asked me to run with her so I thought I would give it a shot, I'd to anything for that girl," he replied.
"Oh, well that's great," I managed to say through my teeth. Thank goodness the coach started his speech then or else I would have ruined my "friendship" with Ethan.
"Ok guys, I'm really glad so many of you wanted to try-out for the team this year. Cross Country is taken very seriously here at Forks High and I expect you to try-out with your A game. Only a select 10 will actually make the team and with that said, the sign-up sheet is over on that table, and the practice schedules are right beside it." He said pointing to a table at the very back corner of the room.
Everyone ran towards the table, thinking that weather they were first or last on the sign-up actually makes a difference, it doesn't. So I hung back and waited for the crowd to die down.
"Oh my gosh, I'm so excited," I overheard two girls talking. "I can't wait for try-outs, Edward in a skin-tight running outfit, eek!" one of the girls squealed to her friend.
I scoffed and turned towards the thinning crowd. I always got girls admiring my body, and I hated every single one of them. They didn't even know me, why should they ogle my body, did they have nothing better to do that they'd waste their time on some who only had eyes for one girl.
Just then I saw this really muscular senior, I think his name was Chad, or Shad, or something like that, push the poor girl in front of him while he was going to the pen to write his name. I quickly rushed to help her up so that she wouldn't get run over by him again when the person writing was done. Her face was towards the ground and as soon as she lifted it, a wave of some new emotion took me over. What I saw, took my breath away.
