Somewhere Love Remains

Chapter Three: Turning Page

Don't trust too much. Don't love too much. Because that too much will hurt you so much...

I awoke to the faint morning light of Edward's room.

I smiled to myself when I realized that last night wasn't just my dream or my imagination. I snuggled to him even closer and I felt him tighten his arms around me. This was pure bliss, just how I wanted to wake up every morning of my life.

"Morning," he said with a weak smile on his face.

"Good morning," I said back, looking up at him who still had his eyes closed.

"Edward?"

"Yeah?"

"Thank you so much for yesterday. You don't know how much you made me happy. It had been so long since I last celebrated my birthday."

All of a sudden, his beautiful green orbs opened and stared at my brown ones. He looked at me intently, removed his arm around my waist and cupped my cheek.

"What? Why is it that you don't celebrate your birthday?" he asked confusedly.

"My parents kept forgetting it and I don't feel like celebrating it alone or without them. I really don't know, guess I'm just used to it," I answered truthfully.

"What kind of parents do you have?"

"The worst ones I guess," I said jokingly.

He just shook his head and held me close again. Ever so slowly, I could feel his face inching closer to mine. I could feel my cheeks heat up as I remembered all that happened last night. It was the first time that we made love, the first time that I had done it with anybody. Not like I'd been with somebody before.

Last night had been more than perfect. Nothing had been planned; it was like it was really meant to happen. And last night, I realized how deep my feelings for him were…that this wasn't just a simple crush or that I just like him. It was more than that. I had never felt more comfortable and safer with anyone but him. I would be insane if I left him get away.

I know this was too soon because we met just six months ago in Victoria's birthday party, but hell do I care. Nothing about my life was normal—nothing about me was normal. She and Edward had been friends since they were in high school, but they never had a relationship. They were more like siblings and they were hilarious once they get together.

I met Victoria during my first day in college. God knows how lost I was during that day. I didn't know that outside life would be that hard, or I wasn't just used with it. There were so many people around me, but I didn't know who to ask. I was too shy and embarrassed of what they would think about me. And then there came my red head friend. She approached me ever so nicely and helped me get to my classes, and turns out we had three same. After that, things became easier with and I started to trust her.

Two months passed and we were like sisters. She invited me to her birthday party, the first party that I have ever attended. That moment when I entered her house was also the moment when I laid eyes to the most handsome guy that I had ever seen. I really felt that 'spark' that they describe in books and in movies and I knew he felt it too. Maybe love at first sight was true…

Speaking of love…I think I already love him. I know I barely know him. His name was Edward Anthony Cullen, he studies at NYU, his birthday was June one, he loves blue and brown, he could play piano like an Beethoven, he was allergic to crabs and he loves strawberry as much as I do. Though it seem like they were many, they were just basic. I didn't know the name of his father, his mother, his sister and other members of his family, neither have I met them. But those things didn't matter. I know that as time passes, we would get to know each other more and he would tell me all about them and maybe I'd meet them too. There was no harm in dreaming.

Suddenly, I felt his warm lips on mine, making all my thoughts and doubts fade away.

"I love you," I said when he pulled away.

And then there was silence.

More silence…

Seconds, minutes or hours may have passed, but he remained silent.

I could feel tears welling in my eyes again, but this time it wasn't because of happiness. I didn't know that things would change that easily with those three words.

Those three words that came out from my mouth for the first time.

I never said that to my mother, to my sister, to Zafrina and her daughters.

He was my first.

And He just rejected me.

I shouldn't have thought that he would feel the same way about me. I should have known that it would hurt a lot. I thought I was being careful in choosing people who would appreciate me more. I thought I already found someone who could love me. Well, maybe I was wrong.

I got up, got dressed, him still not saying a thing. He just stared at the ceiling blankly.

I hastily wiped away the tears which were falling on my cheeks. This time, he wasn't there to comfort me or wipe them away.

More than his rejection, I felt so used and it was the thing that hurt me a lot. I gave everything that I had and this was what I got in return.


So, please don't hate me! Things will get better soon...I hope. :)

Please review? More than ten is enough...just wanna know if you loved the chap. :)

Thanks for reading and happy rainy summer,

Ishi :)
