Heya:)
So, I've been really excited about this story. So excited that I originally wrote
6
freaking
pages.
And do ya know what happened?
My sister exited off of word while it was saving, and in the process somehow corrupted all of my other stories and the book that I was writing.
Sad to say(and hear, I hope!)
I couldn't recover them.:'(
*Sob story over*
Welp, I hope you like it!
*Chuckles darkly, watching from behind a tree*
Edward's POV
Oh. My. GLEE. Edward gasped, but quickly arranged his features into a half smile as he pulled Bella up into a standing position.
"Sorry-" they both mumbled at the same time. Edward chuckled at the beautiful blush that started to show on Bella's cheeks, giving her features even more beauty.
"Hey Dullen, the lines moving! Get your excuse for a body moving!" shouted someone from the back of the line. Edward's face flushed, but not of embarassment. He strode quickly through the line, gathering random items, and paid. When he arrived back at his table, Jasper and Alice were smiling at him from one side, while Rosalie and Emmett were in their own little world, not sitting far off from his usual spot. Edward sat, and glanced curiously at Jasper.
"What?" He asked finally, eyes darting between Jasper and Alice. Alice giggled while Jasper cleared his throat, covering a cough. Emmett, seeing the charade, chimed in, equally amused.
"Well, aren't you just a romeo? You all lovey-dovey catching the new chick like that." Emmett started to dance in his seat. "You wanna kiss her, you wanna love her, you wanna-"
"Emmett!" Rosalie yelled, before he could say anything else. Edward's face flushed once again, before he lowered it and nibbled on his food.
Jasper turned to Edward, a serious look on his face. "Edward, life is short. Don't let this one get away." Everyone at the table looked at Edward, their expressions ranging from hurt, to worry, to a mask of emotions.
"I've just met her-" Edward began.
"And I saw the way you two looked at each other. It's a crush for both parts. Love can come fast into your life, or it can ease in. Either way, you have to be ready to let it in. Don't be afraid, Eddie." Alice whispered, using her nickname for him. "What would happen if-" Alice's voice broke, tears springing to her eyes. She quickly stood and darted to the restroom with Rosalie at her heels.
"She just cares about you, Ed. We all do." Edward stood as the bell rang, quickly leaving the cafeteria before he showed any emotion to his brothers.
"Through the trees, I will find you. I will heal the ruins left inside you. 'Cause I'm still here breathing now. I'm still here breathing now. I'm still here breathing now. Until I'm set free, go quiet through the trees."
Edward finished the song while walking into the school parking lot, whispering the last three words of Low Shoulder's Through the Trees. Jennifer's Body may not have been as good as Titanic, but it wasn't as bad as Dragon Wars. He chuckled to himself as he remembered the bland plotline in his mind. His silver Volvo morphed itself into the head of the evil dragon, trying to attack him. A familiar voice broke Edward out of his reverie.
"EDWARD!" Rosalie bellowed from half-way across the parking lot. She looked cold in her lilac tank top and hip-hugger jeans. The gladiator heels probably didn't help either. Edward started to sprint towards the Dark Princess, when a terrified scream of "Bella!" came from his right.
Edward sprinted full force towards her, and the next thing he knew, she was on the ground, gasping at him with an open mouth. Their gazes locked before a sickening screech sounded from somewhere near. A sound like thunder erupted only feet from Edward and Bella as an oncoming van collided with the front end of Bella's truck.
The last thing Edward heard was the sound of Bella's screams.
Bella's POV
"You know, you're lucky to be alive, Ms. Swan." Dr. Cullen said. He had asked her several questions and inspected her thoroughly; she only had a headache and a need to see Edward, to know that he was okay. "Your position at the end of your truck was lucky enough to only bop you in the head, not trample you." He smiled, but it didn't tough his eyes.
"Is Edward OK?" Bella asked.
"I hope so," he murmured. Dr. Cullen cleared his throat and looked over at Bella. "If you would like to see him, you could secretly follow me to the second floor where Room 238 is." He winked, and started out the door.
Bella darted after him, tripping over her own feet in the process. As soon as she was out of the elevator, she hurried to Edward's room, stopping only to gather herself. Before she pushed open the door, she heard voices from within the room.
"…and I know you don't like the idea, Edward, but HIFU has cured three cases here in Forks alone of Prostate cancer. Please, just consider it because…"
And the rest of the noises were lost whispers, until a chair scraped across the floor. The door opened suddenly to reveal a beautiful woman. She had curly brown hair, bloodshot-almond eyes and lips like frozen rose petals. But on the face of Edward's mother was a deep sadness, as if Edward had died. She paused, looking Bella up and down, before smiling a 100 watt smile. "You must be Isabella!" She cooed, pulling Bella into a hug.
"Bella," Edward and Bella mumbled together. He chuckled, looking as white as the sheets he laid in.
"Bella, this is Esme, my mother. Esme, this is Bella, a Soprano from Ohio." Bella was glad Edward didn't use the phrase "new girl". She smiled warmly at Esme as she shook her hand.
"Well, Bella, it was a pleasure meeting you, but I'm afraid I have to run. I have furniture to design!" And with a smile and a look at Edward, she left, leaving them alone in the room.
