CHAPTER 3
Edward
EPOV
This morning we're moving. We used to live in Chicago, where I was born but now my dad wanted us to move somewhere better so he accepted the Fork's Hospital's offer.
So now, here I am , unpacking things in my new room. I must say, it's a really nice house. Very big and open and surrounded by trees. The walls are white and the windows are big. We even have a pool in our back yard.
My room is more my style. White walls as well, a big window where my bed will be put and it has enough room for all my CDs and my guitar of course.
I look out my window and I see some kids talking to my brother and sister. Ah, my siblings. They look a lot alike because they have both taken after my father whereas I look like my mother. They both have blue eyes and blond hair and they're beautiful. But most of all, they are the best siblings a brother could ask for.
Jasper is quiet and very passionate. He can play the guitar almost as good as I can and he is really interested in World War I and II. He loves history in general, it has always been his favorite subject.
Rosalie now is another story. She can be bitchy and cold sometimes but deep down she's one of the best people I know. People are often intimidated by her because of her appearance. She's really beautiful, like a supermodel.
As for my parents, my dad is a doctor. When I was younger he wanted me to follow his steps but when he saw how much I loved music, he couldn't argue with me anymore. He is very protective of us and he really loves us. I guess I got something from him too. He is wise and I always go to him first when I seek advice.
My mother is an interior designer and she adores her job, but not more than she loves us. She's the most compassionate person I have ever met and she is the only one I can really trust. I remember that she was always there when I needed her, even for the smallest things, like a cut.
So now I go downstairs to introduce myself to our new neighbors but I stop in my tracks when I see her.
She must be really young, fourteen, fifteen maybe? But she is most definitely the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. Even Rosalie holds no chance against her. She wears a gray T-shirt that says "I'm not normal". Hmm she's smart and funny.
So I go on and introduce myself. She seems a little distracted at first but then we shake hands and I feel an electric current flow throughout my body. I don't know what it was but it felt warm and…nice. I look into her eyes and I see the answers to all my unanswered questions. They are chocolate brown and so big I could lose myself in them.
When she turned around I noticed that she had a Beatles pin on her bag. She's got a nice taste in music too. So I ask her if she likes them and she says yes. I ask her then what her age was . Fourteen huh? I thought so. She doesn't look older physically but mentally, she may be even older than me. You can tell as much just by talking to her for ten minutes.
So the conversation shifts and I grab any chance that gets to me. I wholeheartedly agreed to teach her how to play the piano. This meant extra time trying to figure out my little mysterious neighbor.
By the end of our conversation I realized one thing. Bella Swan is definitely not a normal person. She's more than that. She's perfect.
I keep thinking about her all night and all day, fighting with myself. My most noble side tells me to leave her alone and ignore her so that she could go on with her life and don't have someone so much older than her be with her and feel what I feel for her.
But my most selfish side won, the one telling me to stay with her and be her friend because I wanted to get to know her and I wanted to be the one to solve the puzzle that was Bella Swan.
But how do I feel about her? I mean, she's too young to like her…romantically. All I know is that I want to be with her and protect her. Am I so bad because I want her to be happy? She seemed happy when I volunteered to be her teacher so I don't feel guilty for doing it. But I couldn't love Bella…at least not yet.
Next morning I woke up in a good mood, waiting all day for Bella to arrive. And when she did I couldn't be happier. We started our first lesson and everything went smoothly. Every time we touched I felt the electricity again. I wonder if she can feel it too. But no, she would never like me that way. She would be disgusted if I told her and she would think I am a pervert. But I don't want anything from her. I just want to be near her.
Yeah, good one Edward, start talking to yourself now. This shows you are totally normal.
I walk her to her door mostly because I didn't want her to go so soon but also because I was afraid that something bad would happen to her even if her house was across the street.
The thing that amazed me most is how comfortable she seemed to be around me. Our conversations came easily and even if we didn't know what to talk about, the silence wasn't awkward or uncomfortable. It was just relaxing and soothing.
The next weeks passed really quick and Bella and I became more and more closer each day that passed. We now had daily piano lessons.
This may sound strange but I one of the reasons why I got the job was because of Bella. I wanted to have a reason to spent more time with her during the day. I would never tell her that though.
So, she seemed happy when I told her that I could drive her to school every day. Monday morning in my car we had a really good time, laughing and singing along to our favorite songs. I wanted more of our time so when I was at work I decided to do something I never expected I would do. I called her father.
"Hello, police department, chief Swan speaking."
"Um good morning sir. This is Edward, Edward Cullen"
There was a pause at the other end of the line so I thought he was registering what he was hearing. It must seem really weird to get phone calls from me.
"Hello Edward. Did something happen?"
But of course, as a father he would first think of his daughter's safety. "No sir, everything's fine, Bella is at school safe and sound."
"Oh," he paused "So is there a reason you called?"
"Um yes sir, I just wanted to ask you if I could pick Bella up from her school too. This way you won't have to live your office earlier and she can come right to my house to start our piano lessons. It's not a problem for me as I get off my work the same time she finishes school and it's on my way so" I was starting to lose it, too nervous to stop talking but I somehow managed.
The long pause on the other line told me that he was contemplating what I was saying and he was assessing every information I gave him. I finally heard the magic word that made me the happiest man.
"Ok. But be sure that if anything happens to her or she isn't back when she is supposed to, I will hunt you down." Wow .
"Um ok sir I promise you. I wouldn't want anything bad happening to Bella anyway. Thank you very much. Have a nice day sir."
"You too Edward, you too." And with that he hang up.
When I arrived at her school, I turned the engine off and got out to wait for her. When I spotted her she looked…anxious to leave? And that's when I noticed a blond boy running to catch up with her but he didn't have the chance because she saw me and rushed to me.
Hmm who is that boy? Her boyfriend? I already despise him. I should ask her about it later.
When I told her that she was stuck with me from now on she hugged me…and I couldn't be more content. The electricity was stronger than before and I just wanted to hold her forever. She smelled so sweet, like roses and freesia.
So we got into my baby, my car that is, and we drove. Just before we left the school parking lot, I saw that blond boy from the rearview mirror and he was looking at us. He looked angry and…jealous. Could he be jealous of me? I smiled at the thought.
During our short trip to my house I kept thinking of this boy. Maybe she liked him too. And then she would be his girlfriend if she isn't already that is. He was cute. Puppy face, blue eyes, short spiky hair. Yeah I hate that kid.
"Just say it Edward." Her sweet voice interrupted my thoughts.
"Say what?"
"You've been torturing yourself with something since we left. So spit it out." How well she knew me. I smiled internally at that.
"Well, I couldn't help but notice the boy that was behind you when you came."I said, looking at my hands that were on my lap.
"And?" she urged me.
"And I wanted to know if he…if he was your…boyfriend or something." I looked up at her when I finished.
She seemed to contemplate that and then she answered "No".
"Oh" I said lamely "it's just that you know, if he was then you should be careful because you're young and he's a boy" I was rambling without really knowing what I was saying. Thank goodness she knows me so well so she laughed and said
"Edward, I understand. Don't strain yourself anymore." She teased me while still laughing.
"Oh you think you're funny don't you?"and with that I started tickling her. I knew Bella was very ticklish so I took advantage of it every time I could. "Say you're sorry Bells" I said.
"Ok! Ok! I surrender! I'm sorry!" she laughed. She had turned red from laughing so hard so I stopped and I looked at her. I mean , I really looked at her.
Even now, with her cheeks red and a little sweat on her forehead from all the laughing, she was the most beautiful being on earth. I couldn't help myself from smiling. She smiled too.
"Bella I …" I started to say but she cut me and said "We should go inside and start our lesson."
"Okay" I said.
Today, we didn't practice as much as we normally do. We just sat down and we talked and talked for hours, analyzing every bit of each other's lives. We talked about interests, our childhood, our families, everything.
By the end of our lesson I had learned that Bella's favorite color is green, she likes junk food, she hates sports, she has had three concussions (note to self: be extremely attentive and protect her even more. Yeah like that was even possible.) and she has a soft spot for puppies.
But all those things couldn't compare to what I saw every day: her real self with all her flaws, well if she had any. I loved that side of Bella, the carefree one. I liked the T-shirt she wore that first day we met and I liked that Bella would never be normal as other kids are.
She would always be my Bella.
ok so that was chapter 3!!!what did you think??
ok so i have some questions...i have the whole plot figured out in my head but i need a little help...so bella won't be 14 for ever cause that would be illegal and wrong on so many levels...but i need your opinion...do you think Edward should be her 1st kiss when she's 15 or not because she's too young? nothing will happen between them until she's at least 16...sorry!and what did you think of epov??isn't he like the sweetest??lol hmm what else...oh i would like to apologise because in the next chapters i'm gonna run a little...and by that i mean i will go faster because i have so much i want to right and bella must get a little older, don't you think?ok that's all and sorry for the long note!!:P please review and tell me what you think.
