Chapter four. Floating.
Over a week passed since my little visit from the gorgeous group. I imagined it. That was it. My life was getting too boring and I decided to use my wild imagination to create some silly weird gorgeous characters. They weren't real. It didn't happen.
But it did.
Because even I wasn't as creative as to make up beautiful creatures as them. Their names were also weird. Their appearance was different. They spoke like they were from a different time.
Who were they?
Who was he?
The person who looked like an angel. Edward. The picture of him stuck to my mind and I found myself floating through the days that came. Not going through it. Floating. I wasn't aware of anything. I couldn't keep my attention alert. Because he kissed me.
And I didn't know him.
But the kiss was different. Not like any kiss I had ever kissed. His lips were different. Different but somehow similar. Amazingly soft and gently. He kissed me with love and passion but oh so tender at the same time.
But now he was gone. Him, along with the gorgeous Rosalie. The strong muscular Emmett. The calm jasper and the bright bouncy Alice.
They were gone.
Were they to return?
"Izzy? Are you listening? Hello? Earth to Izzy. Come in, Izzy…"
Bright pink nail varnish brought me crashing back to reality. I turned to see Jessica's annoyed face staring at me.
"Oh…did you say something?" I sighed shaking my head. We turned the corner and walked free of the school grounds.
"Yea. I said it's Friday", she said in an irritated tone. Friday? Already?
"Oh, um. Ok…"
"So? You wanna come shopping with me tomorrow?" she asked impatiently. Shopping. Right. Not really my scene.
"Where are you going?" I asked.
"Town's shopping centre", she answered automatically, "I've been telling you about my dilemma." Jessica shoved a magazine in my face.
"Oh, I didn't catch it. What's your problem?" I asked trying to pay attention this time. She sighed heavily then pointed at the magazine.
"Ok, there's these two dresses, they're both gorgeous but I can only afford one", she explained, "these two"-she pointed at two blue dresses on the magazine-"which one should I get?"
I observed the dresses. They were both alike.
"Jess, they're the same thing", I pointed out. She sighed.
"So you see my dilemma?"
"Oh…um, right. Well, get this one", I said randomly pointing to the dress on the left hand side. She squealed.
"Oh my god, you're right. This one's miles better!"
"Er…you're welcome. But, er, I can't come shopping with you tomorrow. I think I'm just going to spend the day in", I explained to her. She nodded.
"So are you gonna tell me?" Jessica asked.
"Tell you what?"
"Tell me why you've been on cloud nine all week", she said, "Seriously Izzy, you're quieter and paler than usual. Are you ok?"
"I'm fine", I answered quickly, "seriously. Fine."
Jessica stared at me for a couple of minutes before the shrugging the thought out of her mind.
Was I fine?
I got off the bus and walked through the road leading to my road. To Parkington avenue. As I rounded a corner suddenly three figures appeared.
"Gotcha!" said a high-pitched voice. Two pairs of strong hands grabbed my shoulders.
The next thing I knew a something sharp had been shoved into the side of my neck. I didn't even get time to scream as darkness soon overwhelmed me and I drowned under…
