Chapter 4
"Thoughts"
As I walked back into the house from my hunting trip I could hear Rosalie yelling at Emmett from upstairs. She was telling him how stupid it was to lie to her and blah blah blah. I shook my head, I knew that it was and is stupid to stay here but I couldn't leave. I may be putting Bella in danger but I can't find it in myself to leave. Her thoughts are to entrancing to me.
My eyes caught sight of my piano, which I haven't played in way to long. I slowly made my way up to my beloved baby grand piano. I smiled softly as my hand grazed the top of the beautiful instrument. I listened to the rest of my family to make sure that they were preoccupied enough, as not to hear me. I took my seat on the bench in front of my piano and set my long, white fingers on the ivory keys.
I thought about my family and how much harm I could bring them because of this one girl. I closed my eyes and allowed Esme's favorite song to flow through my fingertips. Whenever I played I blocked out all of the noise that wasn't coming from my piano. It allowed me to block out all the thoughts and sounds of my family. I haven't played in so long because I have been more depressed lately. My family has become closer to their mates and it makes me feel lonelier than ever.
I kept my eyes closed as I played through the rest of the song. As the song came to an end I opened my eyes and realized that my family had surrounded me while I played. "That was beautiful, Edward," Esme thought with love and pride dripping from every word.
Carlisle just smiled and Alice gave me small smile, "Time for school," she said softly, knowing that I was dreading this. I frowned but nodded anyway, "Meet you in the car." I replied quickly before running, full speed, to my room to get my bag.
I ran downstairs throwing a quick goodbye to Esme and Carlisle on my way out of the door. I jumped in the car and looked in the back to see that it was empty. I looked over at Alice, "They took the jeep," she said apologetically.
I sighed and shook my head, "It's okay, and I gave them a good reason to be mad." I retorted softly as I whipped out of the driveway.
Alice looked as if she was going to say something when we both got sucked into a vision, "I saw Bella and Mike talking and he looked sad. I saw her say something and all I could catch was the word Jessica. His face immediately brightened and he ran off, waving as he went."
As the vision ended I looked to her for answers, she shrugged, "I think he asked her out and she said no," she replied quickly. I sighed in relief, the Newton boy's thoughts could get vial.
As we pulled into the parking lot I could hear Bella's thoughts, "Should I ask him what his problem is?" she asked herself, biting her lip.
I frowned, who is she talking about? I asked myself with a sigh.
"She is talking about you, Edward." Alice told me softly.
That just made me sad, I looked at Alice with sad eyes asking her; Why?
She sighed and shook her head, "Because of the way you treated her yesterday." she thought at me angrily.
I flinched, "I didn't mean to, Alice." I said cajolingly.
She sighed, "I know you didn't mean to, but, Edward, she is going to be my friend. Please don't mess this up for me." She whispered pleadingly.
I nodded, "I won't, Alice. You do know that you're my favorite sister, right?" I asked jokingly.
She gave me a growl but nodded anyway. I chuckled and started to climb out of the car. Before I took the first step I saw Bella walking towards me. I gulped but forced myself to walk in the same direction.
I heard her thoughts before they came out of her mouth, "What is your problem?" she asked roughly, in her mind. It shocked me though when the words that came out of her mouth were completely the opposite.
Cliffy!i know it's short, and I'm sorry but my fingers are cramping because I had a lot of tests today. I promise I will write more tomorrow.
