Chapter 3

Esme cooked me a lot of great smelling, Chinese food. She laughed as I ate every bit of what she made. "Was it that good?" Esme teased.

"Oh yes. It was really good. I haven't had Chinese food in so long. Thank you for making it," I said as I tilted my head back.

"Not a problem. Now Carlisle suggested you get some sleep so follow me and I'll lead you to the guest room," esme said in a motherly tone. She took my hand and took me up the stairs. "The guest room is right next to Edward's so if you hear anything, it's probably normal." She opened the door and the room knocked the air out of me.

It was a beautiful earthy room. Two of the opposite walls were a light brown and the two other opposite walls were a dark green. The bed frame was a dark brown and the linens were white. There was a canopy and a small couch in the corner and a bookshelf in the corner. "It's such a pretty room," I said with a smile. I sat down on the bed and closed my eyes. I laid back and I smiled. "It's so comfy," I moaned and I heard her laugh.

"Good night Max. See you when you wake up," Esme said as she closed the door behind her.

I fell asleep quickly and I don't think I'll ever sleep better.

I woke up when I heard someone crying. I should've just ignored it but I couldn't. I walked out of my room and went into the room next to mine. A guy was sitting on a white couch with his head in his hands. I knocked on the door and saw his face jerk up.

It was Edward.

"Hey," I said softly. "Do you mind if I come in?"

He shook his head and I sat next to him. "Are you ok?" I asked.

"No, I'm not," he said as he swiped his hand across his face.

I rubbed his back and he stiffened. "What's wrong? Not meaning to be nosey or anything," I stated.

"Bella was my girlfriend and she ran away with another guy," he said sadly.

"Oh I'm so sorry. If it means anything, I've never had an actual boyfriend," I said with a smile. He looked at me and chuckled.

"I don't see how you haven't. You're a very beautiful girl. I can't say that you're charming considering we almost bit each others heads off," he said with a smile.

I smiled. "Thank you very much," I said with a smile.

"You're very welcome," he said with a crooked grin. I knew I was probably going to like that grin. "How come you've never had a boyfriend?" he asked.

"Because… I… Um… I've just never really had that connection with anyone," I said with a shrug. Now I had my head in my hands. He started to rub my back but he stopped at my wing. I jumped up and he looked at me with shock.

"What is under your shirt?" he asked.

"Breasts?" I joked and he chuckled.

"No I mean what's on your back?" he asked again.

I backed up out of his room. "Um. I need to go somewhere," I said and turned away. I actually ran into Carlisle in the hallway. "Carlisle? I need to go fly," I whispered and he smiled brightly. He led me into Edward's room and opened the window.

"If you go out this room, you won't be noticed," Carlisle said with a smile as he urged me towards it. "Edward you've got to watch this."

I silently groaned and backed up to Edward's door. "You might want to move," I warned. I ran to the window and unfurled my wings when I was out of the window. I flew up towards the sky, feeling all the stress and worry fade away.
