Thank you again for the reviews!
Right before I pulled out I noticed a little girl stepping towards Edward. As she got closer her happy face turned to disgust. I took out my phone and pretended to read my text message as I silently tolled down the window a fraction of an inch.
As she got closer I noticed that she wasn't a little girl. She was around my age. "Where were you? I waited for like 10 minutes!" she screeched at Edward.
He shrugged and turned away from her looking in my direction out of the corner of his eye. "I got held up."
She scoffed and rolled her eyes, "Yeah, smoking weed is being held up. Go take a shower before Carlisle gets home. You don't want to be even more of a disappointment."
I saw pain flash though his face as he flinched. It was like her words physically hit him. He sped walked though the front doors of the house.
The girl noticed me for the first time and came up to he car. She motions me to roll my window down all the way. I guess my disguise didn't work too well. "Thank you for giving him a ride home. I'm Alice." She said, offering me a small smile.
I smiled back at her even though I was kind of mad about how she talked to Edward. "Bella. It's no problem. It's on my way anyways."
She nodded and shook her head, "I heard about what happened at the cafeteria."
I started. "What? What did you hear?"
"That you and Edward announced your engagement while Mike begged you to come back to him." She started laughing. Thank god. At least she knew it was just a rumor.
"Yeah, let me tell you. Edward's packing his bags right now and we're headed to Vegas." I said in a monotone so she could sense my sarcasm.
She laughed delight, "Ha! I knew it wasn't real! Who would pick Edward over Mike? Ridiculous."
I gave her a sharp glance. "Edward took up for me this morning. He's a nice guy."
She gave me a look and said, "Yeah, but was Edward the instigator? I bet he was involved in it in some sort of way."
I opened my mouth to prove her wrong, when I though of the jacket I was still wearing. I looked down and muttered, "Not exactly."
She smirked and cocked her hips. "He's always the hero when it comes to his own messes."
I was still looking down when I asked, "May I come in and give his jacket back?"
She eyed the jacket speculatively. "Sure."
I turned off the car and followed her up the enormous porch. When she opened the door I gasped quietly to myself. This place is huge.
She pointed to a spiral stair case and said "It's the fourth door to the left.
I nodded still taking in the room I was in. As I started walking up the stair case I noticed Alice wasn't following me. I shrugged and decided not to worry about it.
When I counted to doors I lightly knocked on the fourth one. When he didn't answer I opened the door slowly. In the small crack I made I looked in and saw there was no Edward.
Where was he? I opened the door all the way and took a step in. The first thing I noticed was how neat it was.
The bed was made military style and there were no posters on the wall. I walked up to his desk and saw there was a single picture frame. The frame said, "Dream Big" and in sharpie next to it, it said, "#1 Goal in life."
In the frame sat a picture of a young man and woman. They were exceptionally beautiful. I smiled as I saw the absolute adoration they had towards each other. If pictures can tell a story of a thousand words, this story tells a million words. I could write an essay of the feelings I saw coming out of their eyes.
As I looked around again I felt a light breeze and turned around. I stared towards an opened window. I walked up to it and stuck my head out. I could instantly smell sweet smoke and covered my nose.
I stepped out onto the slanted roof. Edward sat on the edge of the roof with his legs dangling down. I walked towards him and was stunned by the view. All you could see was trees for miles. In the distant background you could see the mountains covered in snow. I smiled and continued walking towards him. I sat down next to him, very carefully, and handed him the jacket without saying anything.
He looked surprised to see me, but accepted the jacket without a word. We sat in awkward silence until I saw him bringing a joint to his lips. "Really?" I asked incredulously.
He sucked in a long drag and held his breath. I waited for him to blow it out but when he didn't I started to get annoyed. He lifted a finger and blew out slowly.
His eyes looked even more bloodshot than before. "You're on my roof and you want me to stop smoking when this is where I come to smoke?"
I nodded.
He snorted. "Remember when I said you were funny? Well, your freaking hilarious."
I rolled my eyes and snatched the joint from his lips. I smashed it against the roof and threw it off. I raised my eyebrows. "Am I still funny?"
He looked to where I threw it and made a quick glance at me. "What gives you the right to do that?"
I thought for a moment. I smirked and told him, "I just saved minutes/hours of your life. You should be thanking me."
He looked away and said, "No, I shouldn't be." He glanced back at me. "Would you believe me when I say I smoke to die faster?"
I shook my head. "Negative."
He leaned back and rested his head on his hands. I did the same and looked into the gray clouds. A few minutes passed as we stared at the sky.
"I see a blanket." He muttered.
I turned towards him confused. "What?"
He looked at me confused as well. "I forgot you were here."
I looked back up and murmured, "Thanks."
He put his head back and whispered, 'It's something me and my mom use to do when I was younger. We use to come out here and look at the clouds. She would tell me to find a shape. We would both agree that it looked like a blanket."
I smiled. It was such an innocent memory. Then I frowned. Why would he taint those memories with this disgusting habit? I shook my head even more confused than before.
I sat up and sighed. "I better be going."
He nodded and closed his eyes. "Bella…we shouldn't be friends. I'm nota good guy. You should go back to Mike and go sew a sweater or something."
I snorted. "Yeah, because I always sew sweaters."
He didn't laugh. "I'm serious, Bella."
I smirked at him. "So was I."
He cracked a smile.
I sighed again and told him, "Look, Edward, you can tell me to go fuck off for all I care. You're not getting rid of me this easy. You're the first exciting thing that has happened to me in a really long time. "
He smiled at that. He was still smiling as a raindrop hit his nose. Before I had a chance to react it started pouring. I shrieked happily and got up. He grabbed my hand and helped me through the window. I was laughing with glee as we dripped on his floor. "See what I mean? Exciting."
His face got closer and I could see every rain drop on his face. "Is this exciting you?" He asked huskily.
I nodded.
"Good." He replied simply as he brought his lips to mine.
I hope y'all enjoyed this! I'll get to writing soon!
Love,
Taryn
