That morning I was already up and about, of course but for all they knew, I was an early riser. I decided to make breakfast for everyone. Pancakes and bacon, me, myself, and I would never eat this gruel. The smell of the bacon made me cover my noise. Renee was the first out of bed. I guess that she was the one to make breakfast.
"Oh" she said startled to see me there at the stove. "Good morning Edward, did you sleep well?" Her eyes looked over what I was doing.
"Yes thank you very much. How about you?" I was trying to be formal.
"I slept very well thank you, just the same old dreams." She smiled at me "Making breakfast I see." Her gaze went to what I was doing.
"I hope you don't mind." I said politely.
"No, no, no of course not. I try to get out of it as much as possible."
"Sit down and have some breakfast." I gestured to the table. She nodded and sat down at the small table. I placed the odd smell bacon in front of her and a plate of pancakes.
"Thanks. Oh butter, I always forget the butter." She was about to rise but I held up my hand.
"Let me." I walked over to the fridge and opened the door. I grabbed the butter and thought to myself, "This is nasty. I am glad I was not around when this came out." I put it on the table and sat down.
"Thank you Edward. Are you not going to eat?" Her question pushed me to talk.
"I already did. I have been up for a while." I looked out the side window. The beams of light were shining through, even with the citrons shut.
"Are you going to go with us today?" She kicked me out of my deep thought.
"I…" Just then my phone rang. I knew it was Alice. She would know that this was going to happen so she said she would call with a fake emergency, since I can't be out in the sun.
"Hello?" I asked nicely acting like I had no idea who it was.
"Edward, Carlisle was hurt trying to help a patient. He was shot, it is not bad but I need you to stay close to where I could call you just in case we need you here." Her voice was louder and sounded urgent for Renee.
"Okay I will." I whispered asking like I knew nothing and that I was confused and worried. I hung up the phone, eyes wide as I had seen "Her face" do so many times.
"What is it Edward?" She reached across the table at me, but then froze and dropped her hand.
"Do you get cell serves on the seas?" I asked trying to make it look real.
"No why?"
"Carlisle was shot by a patient that went psycho."
"Oh my! Is he alright? Do you need to go back?"
"Yes for now he is and I need to stay in cell serves just in case I do need to go home, so I am so very sorry that I can not go with you. You have fun alright?" She shook her head in agreement and turned back too her food. I got up and walked into the living room. I was trying to convince myself that I could let her do this, I had too. I could go 3 hours with out her there, or me there right? Well I was going to find out.
3 hours later
Everyone was up and about to leave. I caught "her" by the elbow and turned her to me, pulling her close to me. I whispered in her ear, "I won't be far." She pulled away to look at me.
"How will you do that?" She asked worried that I would go out into the sun.
"I can hold my breath you knew. I can swim too." She smiled at the words.
"I'll miss you." She breathed into my chest.
"Not as much as I'll miss you." When I realized what was about to happen, I let out a deep sigh.
"What?" She looked up at me, arms still around me.
"Nothing, you just take my breath away." I lied to her often. This little lie was the truth she did take my breath away, but that was thinking of leaving her.
"Ready to go honey?" Charlie stuck his head in and looked at us. She shook her head yes and he left. Her arms winded around me even more. She wewnt to let go. I grabbed her arm and pulled her back to me. I took her face in my hand and pushed our lips together. I lips meshed together and moved together. I let go to soon. She walked down the hall and out the door with out another word.
"Goodbye" I whispered. As the door shut I locked it and was out the window before they left the driveway.
