Ch. 4 BPOV
Okay guys, they're going to get closer in this chapter. And I know I have spelling mistakes. I am actually a very good speller, but my computer doesn't have spell check so sometimes I miss the mistakes. Sorry, just bear with me. P.S. I do not own Twilight or any of its characters. That's Stephanie Meyer bay!
"No, get away! Don't die! Please! Uhhh! BELLA! Where are you?"
I heard Malerie cry out for me. I thought I was dreaming.
"Bella!" I heard again. Then I heard the door open. Cool lips were at my ear, and I heard his velvet voice.
"Bella," he whispered. "It's Malerie, I think she needs you. Alice doesn't know what's wrong with her," he told me.
I still thought I was dreaming. I rolled over and his face was less than two inches from my face.
"Huh?" I asked, still not fully awake.
"It's Mal…" he started, but he was interrupted with another shrill cry.
"Bella!" I sat upright in the bed. Malerie. Oh no. I scrambled, trying to get to my feet. Edward realized what I was trying to do and helped me out of the bed. I ran down the hall toward Malerie's cries. I ran to the bed and took Malerie into my arms. She put her head on my chest and sobbed.
"Shhh, Malerie. It's okay. It's over," I soothed her; she continued to sob.
I looked toward the door where Alice and Edward were watching me with curious eyes. I sighed and began to explain.
"This has been going on since we were five. She has very vivid dreams, but there is only one. It's where everyone she loves is killed. At first, she bears with it, but once I die, she can't take any more. She runs off into the woods. Then, she figures out that something is following her and she panics. When she tries to find out what is stalking her the dream ends," I told them. "It's the same dream every time. They don't happen as often now, and that's a good thing, because over the years we figured out that I'm the only one that can calm her down."
"That's terrible," Alice said, coming over to the bed and sitting down.
Malerie continued to sob. "You were in this one," she told Alice. She lifted her head off of my chest and looked at Edward.
"You too Edward," she said. "You both died," she said, throwing her head back on my shoulder and sobbing again. I rubbed her back soothingly.
"It's people she loves," I reminded them. "She obviously loves you."
Malerie's sobbing quieted. She fell kind of limp. I laid her head back on the pillow. I started to get up and so did Alice.
"Wait," Malerie mumbled, "someone stay with me."
Alice looked at me and shook her head. I gave her a grateful look.
"Alice is going to stay with you Mal," I told her, pushing the hair from her face.
"'Kay," she mumbled. Alice laid on the bed beside her.
I walked toward the door where Edward was still standing. I sighed as I walked down the hall back to the other guest room. Edward was suddenly walking next to me. We entered the room together. I went back to the bed and sat down. Edward sat next to me.
"You really love her, don't you?" he asked me.
"Yeah, what can you do, she's my best friend," I replied. I yawned then.
"Oh, you must be tired," he said, starting to get up.
"No," I said, grabbing his hand. "Please stay with me," I asked him.
"Okay," he said. I laid down on the soft mattress. He pulled the blankets around me then laid on the other side of me.
I then remembered faintly the question he had asked me before I had knocked out earlier. If I wanted to go to the dance with him. I turned to him. His face was once again two inches from mine. He was so beautiful, but I wasn't going to let myself get sidetracked.
"The answer is yes," I told him.
"To what?" he asked, confused.
"I want to go to the dance with you," I confirmed.
"Oh, you remembered," he said. "I thought you were out when I asked you that."
"No, I remember."
"Well good, I'm glad you want to," he said, smiling.
I yawned again. My eyelids started to droop. I snuggled into his chest.
"Sleep my Bella," he whispered in his velvet voice. And boy did I sleep.
EPOV
I had a beautiful angel sleeping in my arms. I couldn't deny anymore that I loved her. I did. I had been waiting so long for her. She was absolutely perfect. She stirred in my arms. She sighed, and then her eyelids fluttered open. I guess she didn't realize that she had fallen asleep in my arms. It took her a minute to figure out where she was, then she smiled. She was so beautiful. I smiled back at the angel.
"You stayed with me?" she asked, still smiling.
"Of course," I told her, "Did you sleep good?" I asked her.
"Very," she said, then she laughed. The sound was so sweet and she was even more beautiful when she laughed. As if that was possible.
She yawned and tried to stretch. I unwound my arms from around her and allowed to sit up.
"I guess I'll let you get dressed," I told her.
"Okay," she said.
I walked out of the room and shut the door behind me. I went downstairs. I saw the big piano and I started thinking. I went over and sat on the big bench. I began to play a melody and then thought of words to go with it. I began to sing. Now we all know that David Archuleta sings this but let's pretend that crazy-talented Edward wrote it.
I hung up the
phone tonight And we know he didn't hang up any phone.
Pretending remember?! 'Cause the
possibility Why do I keep running from the
truth? Do you ever think when
you're all alone Do
you catch a breath when I look at you? Has it ever crossed your mind See it's a chance we've gotta take Do you ever think
when you're all alone Do you catch a breath when I look at you? Why do I keep
running from the truth? Do
you ever think when you're all alone Do you catch a breath when I look at
you?
Something happened for the first
time deep inside
It was a rush, what a rush
That you would ever feel the same way about me
It's
just too much, just too much
All I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized, so
mesmerized
And I've just got to know
All that we can be, where this thing can go?
Am
I crazy or falling in love?
Is it real or just another crush?
Are you holding back like
the way I do?
'Cause I'm trying and trying to walk away
But I
know this crush ain't goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy
Goin'
away-ay-ay-ay-ayy
When we're
hanging, spending time girl, are we just friends?
Is there more,
is there more?
'Cause I
believe that we can make this into something that will last
Last
forever, forever
All that we can be, where this thing can
go?
Am I crazy or falling in love?
Is it real or just another
crush?
Are you
holding back like the way I do?
'Cause I'm trying and trying to
walk away
But I know this crush ain't goin'
away-ay-ay-ay-ayy
Goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy
All I ever think about is you
You got
me hypnotized, so mesmerized
And I've just got to know
All that we can be, where
this thing can go?
Am I crazy or falling in love?
Is it real or
just another crush?
Are you holding back like the way I do?
'Cause I'm trying
and trying to walk away
But I know this crush ain't goin'
away-ay-ay-ay-ayy
This crush ain't goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy
Goin'
away-ay-ay-ay-ayy
Goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy
Goin'
away-ay-ay-ay-ayy
"Wow, did you write that?" I heard her ask. I hadn't heard her come downstairs. I turned around on the piano bench.
"Yeah," I told her.
"It's beautiful," she said. I motioned for her to come and sit next to me on the bench. She did and I looked into her brown eyes.
"It was inspired by you," I told her.
"Really?" she whispered. She was quiet as she thought about the lyrics again. Then, silently, a tear rolled down her cheek. I wiped it away with my fingertips.
"Why are you crying?" I asked her.
"Oh Edward, I didn't know you felt that way about me. And yes, I do catch a breath when you look at me and I was holding back because I didn't think you cared about me as much as I cared for you," she said. "And Edward I… I love you," she said, throwing her arms around my neck. Now how could you not love someone that just wrote and sang that song to you?
"I love you too," I said, putting my arms around her.
"Awwwwwwwwwwww," we turned around to find Malerie, Alice, and Emmett on the stairs with huge smiles on their faces.
Alice danced down the stairs towards us.
"Ahhh! I knew it! I knew this was going to happen!" Little did Malerie and Bella know that this had a double meaning. Wink, wink.
"You guys are so cute together," Malerie said, following Alice.
"Yeah, you guys are just the cutest," Emmett said in a girlish voice. He rolled his eyes and walked into the kitchen where Esme was talking to Jasper and Carlisle. Alice and Malerie skipped after him.
Bella turned to the piano. "I didn't know you played," she said.
"Yeah," I told her. "Do you like music?" I asked.
"I like to sing," she said
"Oh really, do you have any songs?" I asked.
"Uhhh, maybe, I'll have to show you sometime," she said, smiling. I smiled back at her and leaned down to kiss her cheek.
BPOV (later in the day)
Edward loved me, and I loved him. I was blissfully happy. I didn't want to leave the Cullens' house, but I had to get more clothes and talk to Charlie. Esme said that we could stay as long as we liked. She was happy for Edward and I. Edward drove me to my house.
"Go inside and prepare Charlie to meet your new boyfriend," he told me. Sound familiar?
I got out of the car and went inside.
"Hey Dad," I called, closing the front door.
"Hey Bells, did you have fun?" he asked.
"Yeah it was cool," I said. "Malerie was her usual self," I laughed.
"Oh, fun," he said.
"Oh it was," I replied.
I went upstairs and put my dirty clothes in the laundry room and hung up my new dress. I went back downstairs, planning what to tell Charlie.
"Um Dad?" I said. He was sitting at the kitchen table.
"Yeah Bells."
I decided to get it over with. "I'm going to Alice's house and my boyfriend is coming to pick me up," I said in a rush.
He choked on what I guessed was his own spit.
"Boy…boyfriend," he stuttered.
"Uhhh, yes," I said.
"Since when do you have a boyfriend?" he asked.
"Since, like, two hours ago," I said.
"Two hours ago, and who would this, um, lucky boy be?" he asked.
"Um, Edward Cullen," I said sheepishly.
"Ed… Edward C… Cullen," he stuttered. "As in your friend Alice Cullen's brother," he said.
"Uhhh, yeah, that's the one," I said.
That's not going to be awkward that your dating your friend's brother?" he asked.
"No," I said.
"I don't want you to see him," he said flatly.
"What, Dad, why not?" I asked.
"I don't like those Cullen boys, they look to old for you," he said.
"Edward's the youngest, we're in the same grade," I said.
"Well, I still don't like it," he said.
"Well it's not your decision," I said back. "And he's going to be here in a little while to meet you so you better be nice," I said firmly.
I went upstairs to pack more clothes. I heard a pebbles hit my window. I looked over to see Edward in the tree next to my window. I walked over and opened it.
"I can't get in unless you open the window," he said smiling and swinging into my room.
"Wow, how did you get up here?" I asked.
"I climbed," he replied simply. Ha, ha. We all know he used his vampire abilities to get up there, but Bella doesn't know that!!
"Well you better get back down and pretend like you just got here to meet Charlie," I told him.
"Fine," he said, giving me a quick kiss. He jumped onto the nearest tree branch. I rolled my eyes and waited for him to knock. I ran downstairs when I heard it and shot Charlie a warning glance. I opened the door.
"Oh, it's been so long since I've seen you," I whispered so that Charlie couldn't hear.
"I know," he said, smiling.
We walked toward the kitchen. Charlie motioned for Edward to sit down.
"Hello Chief Swan. I'm Edward Cullen," he said politely.
"I see. Well Edward, I'm going to give it to straight. Stay away from daughter," Charlie said harshly.
"Excuse me?" Edward said.
"I don't want you to date her," Charlie replied.
"Dad, I told you that is not your decision. And if you can't live with the fact that I am dating Edward then... I'll move out," I said firmly. Charlie's face got really red.
"Oh no you won't," he said.
"Well then, I am going to date Edward," I said.
"I don't like it," Charlie angrily, but giving up, knowing he couldn't win.
"I'm sleeping at Alice's," I told him.
"Why?" Charlie asked.
"Because you made me mad and I don't want to be in this house with you," I told him. "There's sandwiches in the fridge."
I ran upstairs, grabbed my bag, went back down, grabbed Edward's hand, and stormed out of the house. Well, at least I could be with Edward.
