Chapter 2 -Waiting for you
A POV
Life was passing me by in a haze, well I say life but I'm not sure that's the right word because I'm not technically alive.
I felt so lonely, of course I had my family and they to some extent pushed away the hole that was in my undead heart but I new that I wasn't complete, something was missing and I knew what it was.
It was the other half of me the other half that could complete me, the rest of my family had it, Carlisle and Esme, Rose and Emmett and Edward and Jasper they all had their other half's, their soul mates but me I didn't have that, it has been over 80 years and I started to believe that I would never find them.
I remember laying on my bed in my bedroom a couple of months ago, deciding if there was any point to going to school at the moment that maybe I should go travelling for a while but then it hit me, it was the clearest vision I had ever had, I was sitting in English class at school waiting for the teacher to start the lesson and then she walked in, the teacher told her to sit next to me she nodded and walked over not looking up, I decided to be nice and say hello, she looked up and my eyes locked onto the most beautiful human I had ever seen, a heart shaped face with long brown hair that was a bit messy, dark brown eyes that looked like they could see straight through you and gorgeous red lips that I just wanted to kiss, wait kiss? Before I could see what happened next the vision was replaced with another, we were in my bedroom lying down on my bed facing each other, I was softly trailing my fingers up and down her arm making her shiver, I slowly took my arm away and got up slightly so I was leaning over her, she stiffened slightly but I ignored it.
I moved my face down towards her until our noses were almost touching, "Bella, I'm going to kiss you now." I heard myself say and then watched as I leant the rest of the way and press my lips lightly onto the girl below me.
The vision once again cut off before I could see what happened next but I didn't care, I felt myself smiling from ear to ear, I had finally found what I had been missing, one name was going through my mind over and over again Bella.
I was so happy and couldn't wait for school the next day, I remember practically dragging my family out the door, only Edward new why and was laughing his head off but I was too excited to tell him to shut up, today was the day I was going to meet her, my Bella.
English wasn't until 4th period and the day dragged by agonizingly slow, the bell rang for 4th period and I had to really control myself so I didn't use my vampire speed to get to English. I sat down in my seat and tried to calm myself down it wouldn't help to scare her the first time we met.
I was so deep in my thoughts that I hadn't even noticed that she was walking towards me, I suddenly smelt something so mouth watering that venom pooled in my mouth, I swallowed slowly before realizing that it was Bella, she smelled so lovely that the monster inside roared at me to drink from her but I silenced it's demand, picturing the visions I had seen and knew that I could never hurt her.
She had gotten to my table, "Hello." I said smiling at her she looked up at my greeting towards me and my visions didn't do her enough justice but before I could say anything else, I saw her stiffen and it sounded like her heart stopped beating for a few seconds, she looked terrified and I wondered what I had done wrong.
"Vampire." She said quietly and I felt the smile slowly slip off my face until I was just looking at her wondering what she was going to do next and how she knew what I was, she looked to be assessing the situation and then slowly sat down, scooting as far away as she could from me, which wasn't very far our arms kept brushing every so often.
I had so many questions to ask her but I knew that right now was not the right time, so I decided that at lunch I would get some answers, the main one was I needed to know if she was going to tell anyone and how she knew what I was, I didn't want to move from here plus, I wanted my vision to come true but at that precise moment in time it didn't look very good.
The bell rang and she got out of the class faster than I would of believed, I packed away my things slowly, before following her scent, it lead me outside and into the parking lot.
I saw her sat on the ground with her knees drawn to her chest her head down, next to a motorbike which I summarized must be hers; I walked to her quietly and waited for her to notice me.
As soon as she did she jumped about a foot in the air and then started to get up, to get away from me I assumed so I made a split second decision and grabbed her arm, as my hand touched her skin it was like a blaze was set alight on that one particular point of my body, it seemed that Bella's body was automatically to me trying to rid itself of the impending cold.
I remember telling her that I wasn't going to hurt her I just wanted to know how she knew what I was, she replied with a comment about it was obvious that she had met my kind before and for a moment I was taken aback at how harsh she had just been but I quickly shook it off and told her how the rest of my family wouldn't hurt her either and we only drink animal blood and that she was quite safe. She had looked at me for a while before shrieking about there being others; I had mentally chuckled at that part but just smiled at her and told her they were my family. Then we just stared at each other for what seemed like a couple of seconds to me but must of been a while for her, I could of looked at her forever but knew that if my visions were to come true then I needed to move it along.
So I had slowly extended my hand towards her "Alice Cullen." I had said she looked at my hand doubtfully for a minute before reaching out and slowly grasping it, I felt an electrical shock pass from my hand all the way through my arm and the same blaze of fire fill my hand, I was shocked that I wasn't burning, "Bella Swan." She had replied.
We didn't speak to each other for a week after that, although I really wanted to I didn't want to force her, I knew I had to wait for the right moment and it came though not in the way I would have liked. It was in the school parking lot, it was really icy and Bella was by her truck, I didn't see it until it was nearly too late, Tyler's van was out of control and skidding towards her, she was too paralyzed to move. Without a moment's pause I was by her side pulling her down, while sticking my hand out in front of us effectively stopping Tyler's van from crushing her. When I looked down to see if she was ok, I met surprised wide eyes, "I told you, you were safe." I had told her to which she replied "Thank you." Before I quickly stood up and hopped over her truck to avoid dangerous questions from the crowd that was trying to come around the van to get to Bella.
We started hanging around together after that, she came round to my house to meet the family and I could tell she instantly formed a bond with Esme; it looked as if Bella looked to her as a mother figure when she needed and Esme was happy to fill the role.
I did worry though, there were times when she would suddenly go all quiet or her breathing would become erratic but I was always there to help and calm her. I told her many of my secrets that not even Edward knew but she never told me any of hers and it hurt me a little that she didn't feel like she could confide in me but I knew that over time that would change. It carried on like that for 2 months and in that time my feelings towards her grew, it didn't help that my visions just randomly chose to show me snippets of a future with Bella and me together.
So I decided that it was time I told her, so here we are sitting on her bed in her bedroom crossed legged facing each other, our knees ever so slightly touching.
"Bella I need to tell you something and I can't see how you're going to react so you have to promise me you won't freak out." I said to her I sometimes couldn't see her and it infuriated me to no end but I knew that Bella found it amusing.
"Sure sure." She replied
"Well I um I kinda um well you see the thing am..." I'm stuttering I never stutter, just say it! I mentally shouted at myself.
"I love you." I say to her.
I see her freeze and I wait and pray that the next thing that comes out of her mouth is what I want to hear.
Well that's the end of chapter 2 sorry it took so long to update but I found it surprisingly difficult to write this chapter, the next chapters should come easier, that is if you want more.
Well do you want more, REVIEW and tell me what you think about this chapter and if I get enough I'll post the next one up hopefully in about a week although I can't promise it won't be a little longer than that.
