Chapter 6
I took in all the details of this wonderful house as we pulled up to the front porch. This house was massive! Saying I was shocked isn't the right word to explain this house. Majestic maybe would suffice. If it was this gorgeous from the outside, I couldn't even fathom what it must look like from the inside.
Edward came around to my door and reached for my hand. Electricity jolted through my arm and straight to my heart when our hands touched. I wondered if he could feel this magnetism between us as much as I could. And I although his hand was much cooler than mine, the touch of it gave me a warming sensation I've never experienced before.
He continued to hold my hand all the way up to porch. I could hear music coming inside that sounded very familiar. Not until I stepped inside did I realize it was Clair De Lune. "Edward do you like Clair De Lune?" I asked.
"Of course. Who…who doesn't?"
All I could do was smile thinking I had something in common with this man beside me. Boy was never the correct term for him. He was much more mature than any kid our age. And the fact that he let James terrorize him day after day still flabbergasted me to know end.
"It's this way Bella." He motioned up the stairs. Was I actually going to see inside his room I thought. Those butterflies came back with a flash and the feeling was that they must have doubled. I tried to distract myself by looking at all the paintings around the room and as we ascended up the staircase I saw to my left a huge class case with hundreds of graduations caps. I stood there puzzled wondering what kind of art this must be. I made a note to myself to ask Edward who the artist was or if it was something they came up with on their own.
We continued to the top floor until we were standing in front of what must have been his door.
He opened the door and said "Yea, this…this is my room."
I walked in and was amazed by the shelves of cd's on his case. There had to have been over a thousand. And again my heart started to thud in the realization that we had something else in common. However my cd collection was stuffed away in storage in Arizona.
"Wow, I thought I had a lot of music. This is amazing Edward. This must have taken you your whole life to collect." I exclaimed. I heard a him laugh thinking it must be some kind of inside joke or he may just be making fun of my amazement. I continued to walk around and noticed there was no bed. There was a small couch but that was all. And laying beside this couch were hundreds of journals. How could someone so young have written in that many journals. Even me who rights in hers almost everyday only has around ten. And I started when I was six. Making another note to myself to ask Edward what must be in those journals. Maybe stories. Or poems.
"Here Bella…Bella." he said as he handed me the book. The cover was worn and the pages turned easily. He must have read it more than a few times.
"Edward, can I ask you a question" I asked thinking back to my mental note.
"Yea, what…what is it?
"The glass frame, on the way up the stairs. What is it? It has hundreds of graduation caps. Is it a piece of art?" I asked as my curiosity built seeing the shocked look on his face. What is it that would make him react this way to such a simple question.
"Well, it's hard…hard to explain. Bella. There's some…some..something we need to talk…talk about. But, to…to do that…you have…have to trust me."
"I trust you Edward." I proclaimed.
And in a split second I was flying! How could this be. As I opened my eyes I was shocked at what I saw. Some how we had gotten to the top of a mountain in a matter of seconds. I started panting and hyperventilating.
"Edward, how? How is this possible."
"Bella, I'm not a good…good person."
"You have superpowers! How does that make you a bad person? I don't understand." I stammered off quickly trying to make him see just how amazing he really is.
"NO! Bella, you…you…don't understand." he started to unbutton his shirt and again my heart felt like it was going to burst out of my chest. And as I began to stair at that gorgeous chest of his I realized something was off. His chest was sparkling like diamonds. It was astounding at the sight I took in.
I slowly made my way towards him and as I reached out to touch his chest I said "Your beautiful. It's like thousands of diamonds. How? I don't understand."
"Bella, I'm…I'm not good for you. I'm…I'm not who you…you think I am." he stammered as he tried to explain it to me.
"No Edward. You are all right for me. I knew it the first day I met you. There's no way you AREN'T a good person. I know how James picks on you and your twice his size and you never fight back. That's a good person. James is the animal. And for the little while I've know you, I know you are nothing like James" I exclaimed still not making him understand. The look on his face was shock.
"Bella, I'm the worlds most…most dangerous predator. All this is a cam…camouflage. Everything about me…me invites you…you in. My voice, my fa…face, even my sm…smell." He explained and still I had no clue what he was getting at. "Bella, I am…am a vamp…vampi…vampire." he said finally getting to the point that he was trying to make. "It's no…not like I nee…need any of that." And in a flash he was gone but I could still hear him. "As if you could out run me." And in a millisecond he was back standing in front of me. He continued, "As if…if you could fi…fight me off." He screamed as he pulled out an oak tree four times the size of him. I was stuck, as if I was in cement. All I could do was watch him and try to fully comprehend what he was saying. "I am…am designed to ki…kill Bella. "
All I could say was, "I don't care."
"I've…I've killed people be…before Bella." he said.
"Edward, it doesn't matter to me what you are or aren't." I exclaimed trying to get him to see how I felt about him.
"Th…that first day in the cafet…cafeteria, I want…wanted to kill you…you. That's…that's why I storm…stormed off. Your…your scent is like…like a drug Bella. Like…like my own…own brand of heroine. I've never…never wanted a human…human's blood so…so…so bad in all…all my existence."
"I trust you Edward. I know you would never hurt me." I said.
"Don't!" Was all he said to me.
"I'm here. I trust you." I yelled. How could I make him understand I wasn't going anywhere unless he didn't want me.
"My fam…family. We are…are different. We drink an…animal blood to cont…control our th…thirst. I don..don't want to be…be a monster."
"Edward, as crazy as this may sound, but I love you. I know we haven't known each other very long but my mom always said 'when you know you know'. And I know I love you. And if you don't feel the same, then that's fine. But, I can't help the way I feel about you. And before you say anything, you being a…..vampire doesn't matter to me. I trust you with my life. Do you understand what I am saying?"
"Bella, I'm a…a wreck. I twitch all…all the time. I can bar…barely talk right. How could you…you love someone so…so hideous and a mon…monster all in one?"
"When I touch your hand", I said as I grabbed his hand, "I feel a warmth I've never felt before. When I'm close to you I feel a magnetic pull towards you. And when I look into your eyes, I see a future. I've never felt this way about anyone in my life. And if you don't want me, it's fine." I said putting my whole heart on the line. I didn't care what he was, I loved him and I know that is why it hurt so much when he ran away from.
"I…I love you too! I never…never imagined you would feel…feel the same about me after I…I told you my secret. So the lion, fell in love with the lamb" he said.
"What a stupid lamb" I added.
"What a…a sick masochistic lion." He said with a grin.
Well, there ya go! Finally he's told her. But, what now? Guess you all will have to wait and see! ;)
