Starlight: Chapter Two
I don't own Twilight or New Moon!
We got to the cliffs to see that the others were already there. All five of them were standing on the edge looking down into the ocean.
"So, you're sure that they won't go and get themselves killed?" I asked Will.
He laughed, "Yes Mel, besides if one of us did get hurt, we heal fast." I bit my lip still not sure if it was safe.
"Mel," he whispers. I turn my head and looked Will in his deep brown eyes, "would I ever lie to you?" I shock my head. "So when I say we'll be fine, we will be fine." He then smiles at me. He then turned and opened the door and got out. I quickly followed. We walked over to the others by the cliff.
"Are you ready Mel?" asked Josh wiggling his eyebrows.
"No," I said stepping away from the cliff. Josh shrugged his shoulder then jumped off the cliff shouting something that I couldn't hear. Max was next, then Ian, and then Ashley.
"Are you going?" asked Will looking at Jack.
"I don't know, you can go," said Jack. That shocked me. Jack would be one of the first people to go.
"Suit yourself," said Will then he jumped off the cliff. I stepped closer to the edge looking down at the blue ocean below. I saw Max and Ashley on the beach and Ian, Will, and Josh in a water fight.
"So you're not going to jump Jack?" I asked still looking down.
"No, I am, just after you go first," he said then I felt him push me off the cliff. I couldn't help but scream and close my eyes. I soon hit the cold water. It shocked me to how cold it really was. I quickly started to kick up to the surface. My head popped out of the water and I was freezing. There was another splash next me. Then Jack came up laughing his head off.
"J-J-Jack, t-that w-wasn't f-f-funny," I said with my teeth chattering.
"Yes it was," laughed Jack.
"W-w-well I'm g-g-glad th-that me be-being cold i-is s-so a-amusing," I chattered.
"It is. Now I can warm you up Mel," laughed Jack. I pouted and started to swim to the shore.
"Jack you didn't do what I think you did!" yelled Ashley.
"Yup I did," said Jack proudly.
"I-I h-h-hope you're ha-ha-happy now th-that I'm g-going to f-freeze death," I chattered. I got to the shore. I wrapped my arms around me trying to warm up again. I felt a warm arm around my shoulders. I quickly looked up to see Will. He looked so worried. I tried to smile to show that I was going to be fine only to have my teeth chatter.
"Jack, I am going to kill you," said Will turning his head a glaring at Jack. Ian and Max were starting to build a fire. I love drift wood fires, with all the colors, and how the fire would dance and no matter how hard you tried you couldn't look away from the flames. Slowly the fire started. Will brought over a log for me to sit on.
"Thank you," I whispered sitting down not looking away from the warm fire. Will sat down next to me. I felt the heat come off his body. They were all talking about Josh's next surprise but I wasn't listening. I was thinking, about my father. Where was he now? What do you look like? What does he like to do? Does he still love mom? I thought and stared at the fire but for how long, seconds, minutes, or hours?
"Mel?" I heard Will whispered pulling me back.
"Huh?" I asked turning my eyes from the flames to look at him.
"Are you coming?" he asked smiling. I stared at him of a second.
"Huh?" I asked again. He just laughed.
"Josh found this old abandoned house outside of Forks, and I was asking are you coming because the others around left," he said kindly still smiling.
"Sure," I said but it sound more like a question. Will just chucked. He got up and then helped me up. He put out the fire. He turned and smiled at me again grabbing my hand and leading me to his truck. We got in and he started the truck. He put on the heat for me and turned on the radio. I softly sang along to the songs I knew. Bu the songs that both Will and I love we turn the radio up and sang our heads off.
"So, how do you know were we are going?" I asked. He rolled his eyes like it was such a stupid question.
"I just do," he answered. He put his arm on the back of the seat like he normally does. I feel so relaxed with Will. Knowing that he wasn't asking for more then just being friends, but I don't know if he wants anything more then just that. I looked out the window to just see trees. Then suddenly Will turns down a driveway that you would hardly knew it was there. We drove for a little longer then there was a beautiful house. It was at lest three stories tall. I saw that Jack's Jeep is already here, but no one was in it so I guess they are all inside already.
"So, no one lives here right?" I asked making sure that no one was going to come home and see us it their house.
"Yup, I'm positive," said Will.
"Only fools are positive," I said.
"Then I must be a fool," said Will smiling. We got out of the truck and walked into the front door. The house was breathtaking. Even if no one lived here for a hundred years it was like they only left yesterday. The room was so opened and welcoming. I was that there was something with a white sheet over it. I walked over and pulled off the sheet to find a beautiful grand piano. I gasped. Why would someone leave this here? I sat down on the piano bench. I gently ran my fingers over the ivory keys. I then pushed one of my fingers down on a key and sweetly the note came out and rang through the air. I then started to play. Never in my life had I played the piano but it just came was naturally. I played a song I never heard before but it was so sweet and gentle. I turned my head to see Will leaning against the door flame staring at me smiling. I jerked my head, inviting him to come and sit next to me. He walked over and sat on the bench staring at the keys that I played. I hit the last note and let it linger in the air until it was nothing.
"I didn't know you played the piano," said Will.
I laughed, "Neither did I."
Will chucked and shook his head, "You really are something Mel." I smiled and got up. I walked to the stairs. I heard Will follow me. I walked up the stairs. I saw that Ian, Max, Josh, Jack, and Ashley were all on the second floor. I climbed the stairs until I was on the third floor. I walked down the hall a chose a random door and opened it and walked in. Inside there was a couch with a white sheet covering it, the floor was carpet and the wall was too. There was bookshelf filled with CD cases. One of the walls was a window. I walked more into the room, looking at the CD cases. There was a section with all burned CDs. I pulled one out, all it had on it was #1. I put the CD back to see some sort of book behind the CD cases. I reach back to pulled out the book.
"Mel?" I heard Will say. I jumped about a foot off the ground. I quickly pulled back my hand and turned to looked at him
"Yes," I said.
"Are you ready to go?" he asked. I nodded my head and followed him out the door. I didn't know why there was something about that book. I need to come back here later and get that book.
