Okay, so I decided to post another chapter, it's really short, but the whole story can't be too long, or else I would just rewrite the end of New Moon.
Btw, in this chapter the two POV's are at about the same time.
So, PLEASE PLEASE review, I really want to know if you like it so far.
Disclaimer: I don't own these characters. Blah blah
Chapter 2: Just to Check
Edward's POV
I pushed my legs harder, darting through a break in the trees. I slowed slightly, seeing the soft light up ahead. The gentle breeze blew my hair back, as I made my way toward it.
Carefully, I pushed the branches aside, and stepped out of the dark forest. I froze.
Bella's house. Her dark, second story window was open slightly, and I could hear her soft, even heartbeat as she slept. Abruptly, The cool breeze blew across her window, toward me.
Her scent hit me as hard as it did the very first time. The feeling was so powerful, it almost knocked me to my knees. My eyes narrowed, and my hands balled into fists. I took a deep breath and shook my head slightly.
I was near Bella again. The thought ripped my heart apart, knowing I would have to leave again. She was better off without me. She can't know I'm here.
She can't know I'm here. The words tore through me, making my hands shake. I shook the thought.
Silently, I darted up the side of the house, and slipped through her open window. Bella was there, sleeping quietly, her back facing me. The urge to go near her, to get on my knees and beg for her to forgive me, and if she did, to hold her close and tell her how much I love her. To tell her I am sorry, and I won't leave again.
The words made me feel dizzy. I would have to leave again. I can't stay. I loved her so absolutely, so strongly, I would go through the pain of the last six months, a thousand times to keep her safe.
The sound of her soft heartbeat picked up softly. She mumbled something, and rolled over so I was facing her.
I tensed. Her face was so absolutely, strikingly beautiful, but it didn't look the same. She was extremely thin, and her face was pale white. Underneath her eyes were dark shadows, and tears were rolling down her face, though she was asleep. She rolled over again, and her steady heartbeat began to pick up. She mumbled something unintelligible, and her soft heartbeat continued to race. She started waking up.
Quickly, I slipped out of her window, landing near the tree in the front yard. I waited, listening to her heartbeat fly. In her room, I heard her wake up, screaming at the top of her lungs. The sound made my hands clench slightly, and start to shake. Her screams abruptly stopped, and she started sobbing uncontrollably.
I ran through the trees, trying to get away from the sound. Her crying began to get softer and I slowed my pace. I stopped, and leaned against a tree, closing my eyes.
What have I done? The sound of Bella crying tore me apart, I started shaking, and I felt dizzy. I slid down the tree, sitting on the wet ground, and pressed my head against my knees.
I came back, to see that Bella was happy and okay, so I could leave again. But she wasn't happy and okay. How could I do that to her?
What am I going to do?
Bella's POV
I had just drifted off to sleep, waiting for the nightmare to start. I was abruptly surrounded by the horrible nothingness, in the dark forest.
I let the nightmare play itself in my head, and woke up screaming, as always. Outside my window, I heard a small Thud!, the sound of something landing on the ground. The sound ripped the hole in my chest wide open, reminding me of when he used to leave my room from my window every morning. I wrapped my arms securely around my chest, and waiting for the throbbing to stop.
The screaming stopped, and I started sobbing uncontrollably. How long could I survive this? It was tearing me apart.
I let the tears course down my face, and waited to stop crying. When I did, I rolled over, and let myself fall asleep again.
Okay, short chapter, but I actually kind of like it. I want to know if YOU like it, so please review, tell me what you think!
