We talked for a long time, just getting to know each other. He was an interesting person, but his looks attracted too many eyes for his own good.

We were walking by the bay, now. We looked ahead of us and looked at the water. It was already dark and the sea seemed calm, yet dangerous. I liked it. It seemed so inviting…

"Your parents will get worried," murmured Edward; his soft voice gave me chills.

"Yeah." I agreed, but didn't move, I just kept looking at the water.

He gave me a look; I just wish I knew what type of look it had been.

"What?" I said stupidly.

"What do you mean, 'what'? Aren't you going home?" he demanded.

Oh right…he didn't know…

"And who are you to tell me when to go home?" I said, looking up at him as I put my hands on my hips.

"I'm not telling you to do it. I'm asking." he said, grinning.

"It sure didn't sound like you were asking" I said.

"Well, I was…care to answer?"

"I'm not going home." I said, calmly looking back at the sea.

"Running away?" he guessed.

"No, I'm going back home in a week." I replied sitting on the ground.

"I don't get you." he said as he sat beside me.

"It's not hard to get, I'm just going away for a week to do as I please. Then I'll be going back home in a week." I retorted.

If I make it trough the whole week.

I was starting to feel tired, and my body ached.

"So you're just leaving for the fun of it?" he asked incredulously.

"Pretty much." I said brightly. I wasn't going to tell him my real reasons; it wasn't any of his business anyway.

"I see…and where are you staying?" he asked.

"I was thinking about under the bridge we passed a few minutes ago." I said, pointing behind me. I had the pleasure of seeing his eyes widen in disbelief; it was the most hilarious expression ever.

"I'm kidding." I reassured him before laughing. Seconds later he joined in.

"Seriously." he said when we had both calmed down.

"Well, I could go to a hotel, but that's too boring. I think my car should do the trick."

He gave me a look of disbelief.

"What?" I said, annoyed by his reactions, it made me feel like he thought I was retarded or something.

"Your car? Seriously?" he said. Can the boy's eyes get any bigger?

"Do you have a better idea?" I demanded.

"Well I do believe you said you could get a hotel room." he said. So he was listening.

"Yes but I do believe I also said that it was no fun." I imitated his tone.

"Well then what about my house?" he asked. Was he mental?

"If you're trying to get me to go to your house to rape me-"

"Whoa!" he said holding his hands out in front of him signaling for me to stop. "What makes you think I'm going to rape you?"

"Oh, I don't know," I said coolly. "it's just that I don't know you, you don't know me, for all you know I could be some demented killer, for all I know you could be some horny rapist." I finished shrugging.

"You could be right," he said as he chuckled. "but leave out the horny part, it sounds nicer."

"Okay." I said.

"But you could also be wrong." he murmured, no one should be aloud to have such an inviting voice. "Besides," he continued. "I don't think you're a killer. You look too innocent."

"Trouble is: I'm not innocent." I muttered. He laughed.

"Nah, besides, what about your parents?" I argued.

"They're away at some doctor's convention and they wont be home 'till Sunday." He explained.

"Wait, what day is it today?" I asked.

"Friday." he said.

"Huh, that's funny."

"You think Friday is funny?" he said, giving me a weird look.

"Nah, it's just that today I had talked to my math teacher and I promised her she would have my essay tomorrow; I guess we both forgot what day it was."

"Who gives an essay for math?" he said.

"Good, so I'm not the only one that thinks the same." I laughed.

"Yeah….so about our previous conversation…" he left the sentence hanging.

"Hmmm… you promise not to be a rapist?" I said, chuckling.

"I swear on my mother's grave that I'm not a rapist."

"Is your mom dead?" I asked, frowning.

"Nah but she will be eventually." he said shrugging, I chuckled.

"Fine. I'll take you up on that offer just don't make me regret it."

"You wont." he said. He stood up and then helped me up. As I got up I felt a stabbing pain in my chest and I gasped.

"What's wrong?" Edward said, concerned. My vision was becoming blurred.

"Nothing" I breathed.

"Are you sure?" he asked. I looked up at him but I couldn't make him out. Everything was blurry.

"Yeah," I said. "can you walk me to my car?" I asked, knowing that my blurry vision would remain there for some minutes.

"How about we leave it where it was parked and we'll come for it tomorrow?" He told me.

"Okay." I said and I held out my hand for him to take it, I needed him to guide me. He took it and he began walking, I followed.

It was hard; I could barely see anything so I kept tripping.

"April?" said Edward after a while.

"Huh?" I said.

"Are you usually this clumsy?" He asked.

I decided to tell him the truth.

"No it's just that I can't see clearly."

"Do you use glasses?" he said stopping.

"No, this is normal for me you know? My vision becomes blurred sometimes"

"That's not normal" he said, I merely shrugged.

"It will come back to me in a little bit" already things seemed to get slightly clearer.

Then suddenly I was swept off of the floor and into Edward's arms.

"What are you doing?" I asked. A stupid question to ask, I realized.

"Saving you from injuries." he said as he carried me bridal style.

"You're going to get tired." I warned him as I wound my arms around his neck for support.

"Well first of all we're almost at my car, and second of all you don't weigh a thing. Are you anorexic or something?" he joked.

"No I just have no control on my weight" I said and chuckled.

I rested my chin on his shoulder while he carried me, I could feel his breath on my neck.

He stopped walking and I heard the sound of a car alarm. He set me on my feet and guided me inside the car. Things were becoming clearer by the minute.

"You know I just remembered, I left all my stuff in my car."

I heard the engine come to life.

"Where's your car?" he asked.

We were at my car in five minutes and by now I could see, but Edward insisted that I shouldn't drive right now. I would have argued but he was probably right.

"So did you sneak out of your house or something?" asked Edward as he sped towards his house.

Okay maybe it was a stupid idea to agree to go to the house of a guy I didn't know, yes I knew it could be dangerous but hey what's life without a risk?

"Yeah I just left them a note" I said

"Oh, that's reassuring." He said sarcastically.

"It's better than nothing!" I defended.

"I guess, so when did this happen?" he asked, looking straight ahead at the road.

"Today." I said. He nodded as if in approval.

"So what are you going to be doing in this week?" he asked.

"Good question…let me think about this."

Well I want a change in scenery right?

"I think maybe I want to drive down to California and I'll see what happens after that."

"Interesting." he said as his car stopped right in front of a big white house.

"So you live here?" I asked.

"Yup" he said stepping out of the car. I unbuckled my seatbelt and Edward opened the car door for me.

"Thanks" I said. He led me to the house and once inside he turned on the lights. The house was really big, like a mansion and it was really….white.

I mean, the walls were all white as were the couches and what not. Whoever decorated the house had good taste.

"Nice house" I complimented.

"Thanks," he said "my mom decorated it."

"Ah," I said interestedly. "so there's no one here?"

"Nope, just you and me, my sister went to a sleep over at her friend's house."

"Cool" I said.

"You want to change?" he asked.

"Oh, yeah." I said.

"Up the stairs; second door to the left." he told me.

"'Kay." I said as I made my way up the staircase.

As I changed into my grey pajama shorts and a black long sleeve shirt, I suddenly felt exhausted. I sat on the floor and then I didn't have the force to get back up again. I felt that tired.

After some minutes I gained enough strength to get up and brush my teeth. There was something seriously wrong with me.

I swear I almost crawled down the stairs. I just wanted to sit and rest.

"You don't look so well." commented Edward as I made my way down the staircase. He had changed into black flannel pants and a white t-shirt.

"I'm just a bit tired" I panted.

"Really? You sound and look like you just ran a marathon." he said in a concerned voice.

My legs gave out and I fell on the last step of the staircase.

"April," Edward said worriedly as he rushed to my side. "What's wrong?"

Many things were wrong: I couldn't get up, I was super tired, and I could feel a headache coming, I just wanted to go to sleep.

"I want to sleep." I panted. My bottom left the floor as Edward lifted me and took me upstairs. I was dozing off but I felt it when he laid me down on a soft bed.

"Go to sleep, I'll be here." he whispered.

I managed a small smile. "I just pray you're not a rapist." I joked. He laughed, and then I drifted away into oblivion….
