His hand rested on my cheek. His gental touch calmed me. I leaned into it, begging for more. He chuckled and wrapped his arms around me, holding me to him. "Don't let me go," I whispered. "Don't ever leave me."
His chuckle echoed through the small vehicle once again. "So I guess that means you love me back?" he murmured, hope dripping from his voice.
This time it was my turn to laugh. "No," I said sarcastically. "I just made out with you for nothing."
Edward's head turned to the side as if he were trying to read me. But I was unreadable. "Wording it that way is..." he trailed off, unable to finish. "Strange," he finally found a word. "Very, very strange."
"How so?" I whispered.
"Well there's the fact that we were best friends since we were eight and now we are... making out as you put it."
I laughed. "And how would you put it? You are the one who started the kissing."
Edward nodded, contemplating. "Yes," he said. "I started it and I'm glad I did. It's just different is what I meant by strange. But it's different in a good way."
I leaned back to look at Edward and smiled. My fingers brushed over his should and ran donw his arms, down his stomach to rest at his hips. He leaned his head back against the head rest of the seat we were both still sitting in.
"Different in a very, very good way," Edward smirked.
I laughed quietly. "I do," I whispered, answering his question from before. "I love you, very, very much."
Edward's eyes widened for a moment before he unbuckled his seatbelt and pulled me to him again. He crashed his lips to mine and we started where we left off before. I pulled the seat back so it was reclining enough to lie down on. I tried to pull Edward down onto it but he quickly pulled away. My hands were on the buttons of his shirt, I suddenly realized. I didn't even know that I had put them there.
Edward reached for my hands and pulled them away. "Not here," he said. "Our first time should not be in our car. But if we got you home-
"Charlie," I cut him off, quickly. "Charlie would hear us."
Edward nodded slowly, cotemplating for another moment. "Well how about we don;t do this tonight. What if we jut talk. We haven't seen each other in such a long time and I finally got you back."
I giggled and werapped my arms around Edward. "I missed you so much," I whispered.
Suddenly the wonderful scenery of the forrest, the car, Edward began to fade away until it had dissapeared completely. I began to understand that it was a dream, just a dream. But was it all a dream?
Edward's sweet voice was quickly replaced by fantic talking and a loud... siren? Where was I?
"Bella," a voice said franticaly. "Bella can you hear me?"
Everything was so dark. I tried to pull towardst the voice, but I couldn't find it. "Bella!"
I groaned loudly, that would have been quite embarrasing, had I not been so confused.
Why was it so dark? Where was the voice?
"Bella, sweetheart. Can you hear me? If you can, I need you to open your eyes."
My eyes! That's why it was so dark. I tried to remember where my eyes were, and the second I did they began to crack open and light engulfed them. I groaned. Too bright!
"That's it. Open your eyes."
I knew that voice. It was so familiar. I tried to reach out, tried to find it.
My eyes slwoly opened and adjusted to the light. At first I couldn't make out the blurry figure. But as it got less and less blurry I knew who it was.
"Charlie," I mumbled.
"Oh Bella!" he gasped. "Oh thank God!"
I wanted to ask what happened, I had so many questions. And then suddenly everything came rushing back at me at once.
I remembered being in Edward's volvo. We were talking. Then we were kissing and Edward was saying he loved me. And then... oh no!
I remembered crashing through the windsheild, hitting my head hard on the ground, looking up and seeing the car in flames, seeing that Edward was still inside... Edward!
"Edward!" I gasped, my head joulting upwards. My head ached too much and I quickly fell back onto the flat surface that my body was on and blacked out within the next moment.
Beep, beep, beep...
The annoying sound was the first thing I heard. It was confusing, unsettling. Where was I?
There was talking and rustling around the room. A hand kept taing mine. People kept saying my name.
Where was I?
"I think she's waking up," a voice gasped.
"Get the Dr. Cullen!" another one agreed.
Dr. Cullen? I knew that name from somewhere.
"Bella! Honey! Please open your eyes!"
My eyes slowly began to work again, slowly cracking open. Again I blinked furiously aginst the horrible light. But eventually my vision began to get better.
"Mom?" I whispered as my eyes locked on her. hey moved to Charlie as well. "Dad?" I sighed.
They both let out a long sigh of relief.
My eyes roamed the room. Mom and Charlie were sitting next to my bed, holding my hand. Mom's new husband, Phil was on the other side of the room. But the room seemed too empty for some reason. Someone important was missing.
Edward!
Everything spun back into my mind and I gasped out. "Where is he?" I rasped. "Where is Edward?"
Mom and Charlie shared a look before turning back to me. "Bella..." Mom trailed off, shaking her head. Tears came ino her eyes.
"No," I whispered.
Charlie looked down at the ground, hiding his tears. But he couldn't help it. Edward was like a part of the family. We all loved him. He had known my parents so well since I was only eight.
My heart broke at that moment. I could literally feel it throbbing in my chest painfully. I cried out in true agony. My best friend, love of my life was gone.
"No!" I cried, boulting upright. "No!"
My back throbbed and my head spun with the sudden change of movement!
"Oh gosh nooooooo! Edward! No!" I cried.
I began to sway, feeling dizzy and I felt arms wrap around me. They weren't the arms that I wanted. But I fell into Charlie's arms and cried anyway.
"No!" I sobbed. "No! this h-has t-to b-e a-a dream!" I cried.
More like a nightmare.
