Well guys we didn't make our goal, but can we try it again? Even just a little smiley face. And just to let you know again... people without an account on fanfiction CAN review on my stories.
So this chapter is in Bella's pov. And it takes place two years after she is on the island. Getting closer 'til school starts l-:
I've been here two years now and the things I know have changed. Like not only does Eddie hate me, but he wishes I would have died in the ocean. And Elizabeth was not just somewhat my new mother, she really truly was. She was the only person I could go to for personal problems. Edward has a crush on me, and I sort of have one on him too. And lastly not only would I be here for the rest of my days, my bones would be here for the rest of forever.
"Bella?" Edward said as he opened my door into my small room. "It's our turn."
I groaned but on the inside I was doing a little happy dance. I loved going to the pound to fish even if I had to sit there all day, because Edward was always the one to go with me. I couldn't show this happiness though. What would they all think about me if they knew I looked forward to these days?
I followed Edward out of the house but not before saying good bye to Elizabeth. We went out the kitchen door and through the woods. There was a small lake there and it was our only source of fresh water. I sat down with Edward and moved closer to him, without him knowing of course.
"So..." he tried to start a conversion. "Your officially a preteen know how do you feel?"
I sighed. My birthday was a month ago and he brought it up when there was nothing to talk about. "Fine," I shrugged my shoulders as if it was no big deal. But I was really actually exited. Being 11 meant I had only had two more years until I was a teenager, like him. He was fourteen which I guess was a little weird but he was the first boy I felt these feelings for. Back home a lot of girls 'liked' boys (really it was just what they thought they should be like).
I looked into his eyes. Only to have them looking at me. I looked away blushing. I have been wondering if this is how other 11 year olds act or it is just me. I would be going into sixth grade so maybe.
My old school, back home, only went up to fifth grade, so I would be going to middle school this year. I remember last year Emmett telling me things about it. He told me that a lot of the kids there date and he would, but he didn't find anyone he liked. I really missed him. As much as I wish he was alive and with me right now I would never wish this life on anyone. Especially Emmett. I just wish I would know if he was alive or dead. I've been guessing that he is more then likely alive and with the the Cullen's, because if he was alive and not there wouldn't the waves of pulled him in the same direction as me? Unless... no he's stronger then that. But I just can't help but think.
"Your thinking about him again," Edward said staring into the water that was in front of us. He was the only person I ever told about my family, and he had to swear not to tell Eddie or even Elizabeth. I knew Elizabeth wouldn't do anything rash, but she told Eddie her life and sole. He can't know. And I'm going to make sure of that.
I flushed and looked opposite of him before answering with a quite 'Yeah.'
He grabbed my chin and pulled my head to look into his eyes. Our lips were just centimeters away from the other's. I could feel his warm breath on my lips. His beautiful eyes were filled with sorrow (which was intended for me), sadness, (also for me), and something else I couldn't tell. Was it... no it couldn't be... love?
He leaned his head just enough so he could whisper in my ear, "He's fine. Stop worrying." His voice was full of love. It sounded like how Emmett spook to me... but somehow different. I just couldn't explain it.
He moved his head back to his original position, but not before brush his lips against mine. It wasn't a kiss but it like he did it on purposes not by accident. But what really surprised me is the motion its self. We both knew our feelings for each other but we had not expressed then more then meeting each other's gaze from a ways away.
He then realized what he did and shot up quick, "Sorry," he whispered just loud enough for me to hear, but then got louder. "That was uncalled for."
He started walking in the direction opposite of the house around the lake taking his fishing poll. "Where are you going!" I asked scared he was mad at me. If I would of pulled away then he wouldn't have done that.
He turned around to face me and looked at me as if the answer was obvious. We maybe it was, to everyone but me. "Aren't you mad at me?"
I laughed. "Do you hear me complaining?"
"Well, you might just of not brought if up..." he trailed off.
"I didn't mind." I said, still laughing.
"Well, I was not raised that way. So I do," his words said one thing, but his face replied another.
I sighed. "Well let's just pretend it never happened. Start over?"
He nodded. He practically ran over to me and sat down.
And that is how we were the rest off the afternoon. We pretended it didn't happen. But we were both thinking about it. We caught three huge fish and were about to leave when I got a bite. I could tell this one was bigger then the other one I caught today, but I had caught bigger. This one really wanted to get away, which made me struggle.
Edward noticed and started laughing, "Can't catch a dang fish, McCarty?"
I growled at him playfully. "You want to try, Mason?"
Edward shook his head and through his laughs said, "Stop being a wimp and get it out."
He then punched me in the shoulder. It was meant to be playfully, but it was just enough when added to the force of the fish to pull into the lake.
I lost grip of the fishing poll, and the fish. Obviously. The lake was about ten feet deep and freezing! I could swim so I made it to the top. By the time I did make it to the top I was gasping for breath. But my ragged breathing was not the first thing I heard. No. It was Edward's very unmuffled laughter. He. Was. Dead.
"Your going to pay for that!" I yelled before being pulled under again. This time I couldn't get up. I looked down. My right foot was tangled in some type of weed. That's when it struck. I was drowning. I started thrashing hoping Edward would see me and come save me.
I kept doing that. But I suddenly couldn't hold my breath any longer and without thinking I opened my mouth for a breath. I then felt water rush throughout my lungs. At the pain I shut my eyes as tight as they could go and screamed. I was under there awhile longer, thinking my last thoughts. When I felt something at my feet, and the next thing I knew I was panting for air.
There was two arms around me, holding me above the surface of the water. "Bella! Bella!" the owner of the arms called. "I'm so sorry, Bella. Please be ok."
I coughed once and turned my head to look, no glare, at him. "Sorry? Sorry!" I started to yell. Though my voice was horse. It sort of sounded like when I first landed here. "I nearly drowned because of you!"
Edward looked at me scared, but his face was filled with apology.
"Just wait 'til Elizabeth finds out..." I trailed off.
He looked terrified but then whipped the look right off his face and replied coolly, "And how do you plan to do that when you are laughing?"
"And why would I be laugh..." I started to say, but was cut off with the sound off my laughter.
He tickled me for a straight 3 minutes until he gave a break. "You were saying?"
After I caught my breath again I replied, "A little like this. 'Hey, Elizabeth? Yeah I just thought I'd let you know when we were out fishing Edward pushed me into the water and I almost drowned. So, yeah. Fell free to punish him for as long as you would like too.'"
"YOU DID WHAT, YOUNG MAN?" came Elizabeth's voice from outside of the lake. She was standing there with her arms crossed and an angry look on her face. I gave Edward a smug smile and slowly swam to the edge of the lake. Thank god I'm not him...
