CHAPTER 2:
I was sure it was a dream. I really didn't want to open my eyes and face reality. It was just so real! And the thought of Ethan's smile made my heart flutter.
I eventually opened my eyes to look at the time seeing as my alarm clock hadn't gone off. When I did I noticed that there was somebody in my room, as I spun around in bed, I saw him! Ethan! Ooh how his name could just make my heart beat harder. Geezz Bella get a grip!
"Umm Morning" I said awkwardly, he was staring at me like I was something he had never seen before.
"Good morning, did you have a good sleep? I must say your sleep talking is so amusing, who would have thought…" at that my face turned a tomato colour. Oh no! I could vaguely remember dreaming about him! Who knows what I must have said!
"I'm glad you found it amusing" I said acidly, as I walked past him to go to the bathroom. When I came out fully dressed and clean I saw he was standing exactly where he was when I left the room.
"I'm sorry if I upset you, I didn't mean to it's just been so long since…" I cut him of right there "It's okay, really, I was being a bit dramatic".
Charlie had already left so Ethan followed me downstairs and watched me while I ate some cereals. The silence was getting a bit too much for me so I decided, seeing as yesterday I told him everything I could about me, today I'll get my questions answered. As I was about to open my mouth he said "We'll talk about it later Bella, I'll answer all your questions later. Now hurry up or we'll be late".
I finished up quickly still wondering how he was going to follow me around at school. He got into the passenger side of the truck. When we were on our way to school he was muttering that once we got to Volterra he'll get me a proper car, anything better than an old rusty truck. I chose to ignore all his comments, and when he finally was quiet I looked out of the corner of my eye to see what he was doing. And he wasn't there! How can he not be there? I didn't hear the door open, he couldn't have gone! How can he disappear?
"Be careful Bella you are going to drive us into that tree" Said his melodic voice from the empty seat next to me. Sure enough I had been driving off the road while I had been looking for him. I looked around again but where is he? He just talked to me! I must be going insane. I'm starting to hear voices.
I heard his laughter from my right, "It's okay, your not going crazy, you wanted to know how I was going to follow you around all day, well I decided to show you. I can control my appearance I can turn myself into anybody I want to, animal or person. And I've lately learned to turn invisible. What do you think?" he said turning back to his normal self.
"Wow. You scared the shit out of me". He of course thought it was extremely funny and could hardly stop laughing.
"But wait, you said you've lately discovered it, then how old are you? And what do you really look like then?" I asked.
"You've always got questions. You should have seen your face when you couldn't see me" he chuckled and I couldn't help but laugh along with him. "This is my true appearance, and as for the rest… why don't I tell you everything about me tonight? It's only fair".
My heart rate picked up after that, Edward never wanted to share too much information; he thought it was better if I knew less to protect me. And Ethan is willing to tell me everything tonight.
He started to chuckle no doubt to hearing my heart rate. Damn vampires super hearing!
As I pulled in to the parking he turned invisible again. I parked up and had to leave my door open for a bit longer than normal, while he got out.
"Are you still there? This is so weird" I whispered walking to the front doors.
All I got as a response was a chuckle. Okay this is going to be a weird day…
"Glad somebody is happy about a new boring day in class." I hissed
"Don't worry you've only got 5 days left" He whispered back.
The classes past by in a blur. I was completely in a world of my own thinking about what Ethan had said only 5 days left, I still didn't know when I was going to be changed and I was getting quite nervous to tell the truth. I don't really know them, why am I moving all the way over to Italy? When I was with Edward I wanted to be changed immediately but now I want to wait a bit, I want to be older when I'm changed, I want to be in my twenties. I don't want to spend eternity at the age of 18. I know it's stupid but I would look better with Ethan if I was closer to his age when I was changed. He probably doesn't even feel that way about me… Apart from that, I still wanted a few human experiences to enjoy while being human; I could now see what the Cullens meant.
Ethan could sense my distress, or perhaps it was my overactive heart, but he put an invisible hand on my shoulder during trig to calm me down. At his touch I felt another electrical current not as strong as yesterday's but it was still there. I would have to ask him about that as well later.
I followed Jessica to grab food at our lunch break. And then when we sat at our usual table. It was the first time I saw Angela that day because we hadn't had any classes together.
"So Bella, did you like the film?" It took me a while to figure out what she was talking about. Yesterday I was supposed to go home to watch a film on TV, yeah that's it, before I ran in to the head of the Volturi.
"No, I was tired so I went straight to bed" I answered. I was a really bad liar but I hoped she believed me. And luckily she did.
At the end of lunch Angela came over to me "Bella is everything ok? You seem a bit out of it today." She always was the observant one, dang now what do I say? "I'm okay, it's just… I just… I didn't sleep well last night. I had a nightmare."
After Edward left I had nightmares frequently so she knew what I was talking about.
"Oh Bella, if you want to talk about it I'm here okay?" "Thanks" I managed to mumble. I hated having to lie to her. She'll be another person I'll miss when I leave.
School was finally over, I went hurriedly to my truck eager to get back home and receive my acceptance with Charlie.
As soon we were out of the school parking lot Ethan turned visible again.
"Wow, I've got to say it's been a while since I've been to High School but I think it's getting worse!" I was glad I had him with me. He made me laugh. And even though I still wasn't sure about going to Italy, I couldn't help but feel excited, I was leaving the country, hell I was going to a different continent to start a new life and I'll have a new family. Deep down that's what was important to me. Ethan seemed a really good guy/ vampire I'm sure he wouldn't be with the Volturi if he didn't want to.
As I parked the outside my house I noticed that Charlie was home. Oh well let's go and tell him the good news.
