Chapter 7
The rest of the weekend all I could think about was what Rosalie said. Then when Monday came I didn't know what to do about it. I could just flat out say I like you a lot, but I couldn't do that! I would probably freak him out. I guess I would just have to let it unfold by its self. In the morning it was wet, cold, and auspiciously dark. Great another cold day in paradise.
When I was on my way down stairs I could hear my sister talking to someone. Confused I stopped and listened to who it was. Surprisingly it was a male voice, and I knew who it was. It was Edward. What the hell is he doing here?! I panicked.
"Sky you need to hurry, you are going to be late." Amy bellowed at me.
Slowly I walked down the stairs and sure enough there was Edward smiling at me.
"What are you doing here?" I asked eye brow rose.
"I thought you could use a ride to school since you are still in a cast. But if you don't want one I could just leave and I'll see you at school." There was a glint of sarcasm in his voice and a hidden smile on his face. I was totally taken back by surprise and didn't immediately respond. "Well ok I'll see you at school then." He started to walk off.
"Wait!" He stops. "Ok I could use a ride. It is hard to get around on these things." My cheeks started to feel hot. I looked up at him and he just smiled and opened the door for me. "Thank you." Edward just smirked and ushered me out of my house. When we reached his car, like a gentleman he opened the door for me and shut it once I got in. Edward barely made a sound when he got into his car and started it up. We really didn't talk on our way to school, but my thoughts were racing. Who was this Isabella Swan, and why did she hurt Edward for? 'She must have been a grade A idiot to break Edwards heart'. I was so into my thoughts that I didn't realize we were at school until Edward stopped. I looked up at him and he was just eyeing me suspiciously.
"Who told you about Bella?" was the only thing Edward said.
Surprised at this question all I said was "Rosalie told me when she stopped by my house. But wait how did you know I was thinking about that?" I finished puzzled. Edward quickly realized what I asked and he gripped the steering wheel tightly.
"I just had a feeling someone said something." Edward said calmly.
Eyeing him suspiciously I just shook my head and asked. "So who is this Bella and what happened?"
Edward just sat and stared at me until finally he said, "It's a long story, and she is my ex-girlfriend."
"You don't have to tell me anymore if you don't want to, I understand." I looked up at him with a small smile, but I really wanted to know.
"Hey you want to just skip? I'll tell you about her."
"Hmm, go to school or hang out with you for the day? Pssh let's go!" Sounding a little too excited. He didn't say anything to me until we were out of Forks.
"Did Rosalie say anything about her besides I loved her?"
Biting my lower lip I respond, "No not really, just you loved her but she broke your heart." 'And she asked me if I liked you which I stated I did, and then she told me to not hurt you' I glanced up at Edward to see the expression on his face, but there wasn't a single thing on his face.
E.P.O.V
"Did Rosalie say anything about her besides I loved her?" I asked Sky cautiously. She looked at me biting her lip.
"No not really, just you loved her but she broke your heart." 'And she asked me if I liked you which I stated I did, and then she told me to not hurt you.' I was taken aback by what she thought but never showed it. I just gazed at her for a minute before I said anything.
"I did love her very much. I thought she was my soul mate, my everything. I was wrong though. I really don't want to get too much into it, but in the end she thought I was too dangerous." Sighing I turn to Sky, " Maybe she was right." Hanging my head down.
"Why would she think you are too dangerous? I don't mean to pry but you don't seem dangerous to me." Sky said glancing at me.
'Should I tell her the whole story? Would she understand? Would she run from me?'
"You know you can tell me anything. I won't judge." Sky smiled at me.
Thinking about what to say I cautiously ask, "Do you believe in supernatural things?"
'Supernatural things?' I heard her thought. "I actually do, I believe there are things out there that can't be explained or are hidden from us. I believe in spirits or ghosts and I also believe at one point or another there were witches, werewolves, dragons, vampires or any other creature."
'She actually believes in Vampires?' "Why do you believe in those things?"
She just smiled at me and said "How would people know what any of those things look like if they weren't real at some point? I actually have a very open mind and am not judgmental. It might freak me out for a minute or two." She chuckled and looked at me. All I could think was should I tell her or not.
'Screw it, might as well tell her'. Taking a breath and looking at her hazel eyes I said. "The reason I ask if you believe in that stuff is because…me and my family are vampires." Carefully I looked up at Sky trying to figure out her emotions. I tried to read her mind but it was blank, she wasn't thinking of anything. I started to panic thinking I made a huge mistake, but all she did was grab her crutches and walk in a circle.
"So you're telling me you and your whole family is vampires? That wasn't something I thought you were going to tell me to be honest." Sky turned to me and asked, "Do you feed on humans? How can you be in the sunlight or out during the day? Do you sleep in coffins? Why do you go to school? How old are you? When were you turned…?" I saw her eyes light up and then I heard her thoughts. 'Is he messing with me? No he doesn't look like he is joking. Am I in danger? No I doubt that.' "Sorry I just have a lot of questions. I mean I guess that would explain a few things." Her mind was going a million miles an hour.
"You're not scared? Or going to run away?" I asked hoping she wasn't scared of me.
"No, I'm not scared and I can't run anyways." Sky laughed. I love that laugh.
"Well to answer your questions, my family and I feed on animals and the whole can't go out during the day is shit. We don't sleep, ever and I'm about 115 years old. I was turned when I was 17. I had Spanish influenza and would have died from it if Carlisle wouldn't have turned me. I won't deny that I have fed on humans before, just not innocent people, always criminals or someone who is going to do something bad." The whole time I was explaining all this Sky's eyes never left mine.
S.P.O.V.
I really didn't know what to think when Edward told me he was a vampire and so is his whole family. I knew he wasn't lying though, I could feel it in my heart that he wasn't lying. "So you're over a century old?" Edward shook his head yes. "Wow, I bet you have seen a lot of things in your life. The only thing is, why are you telling me all this for?" I looked up at Edward and waited for an answer.
"Vampires have destined mates. Someone who is meant to be with them as their equal, friend, lover. Alice and Jasper are mates, Rosalie and Emmitt are mates too same with Carlisle and Esme."
"What about you? Don't you have a mate?" For some reason that thought hurt my heart. I was really starting to like Edward but what if he has his destined.
"I don't have a mate yet. I thought Bella was it but I was wrong. Now it looks like there is a possibility in someone else." When Edward said that I wanted to cry until he said "You are my mate Sky." Snapping my head up to him I eyed him curiously. 'Is he really serious?' I thought.
"Yes, I am very serious." My eyes got big. 'How did he know I thought that?' "I can read minds." He said tapping his head.
"This whole time you could read my mind?" I honestly did not know what to think about that. Then a thought occurred to me. 'Oh my god he then heard me think that he was cute and that I did like him! Oh my god.' I wanted to run, but then I heard Edward laugh. "What's so funny?" I said defensively.
"You are more worried about what I have heard than the fact that I can read minds and am a vampire." Edward just laughed.
Pouting, I folded my arms to my chest and stuck my tongue out at him. "Yeah ok I guess I was surprised at the vampire thing and the fact you can read minds but I don't even know what I've thought about you…well a lot actually but you actually knowing is kind of horrifying." I said honestly, but all Edward could do was smile.
"Everything you have thought about me I feel the same way. I would never, NEVER hurt you. I would rather jump in a pit of flames than ever see you hurting. You are amazing, smart, funny, kind everything I have ever wanted in a mate and so much more."
By this time I am in tears and my heart feels like its swelling with every word he says. "I have never had anyone say that to me before." I whisper still crying. Edward came up to me and put his arms around me looking right into my eyes.
"I mean everything I said Sky. You are the most amazing person I have met in my long life, so strong and beautiful." Edward said wiping the tears from my eyes. 'Why me? Why did you pick me' I thought. "I didn't pick you, destiny did that. I just figured why mess with destiny. If I'm destined to be with you, I'm not going to fight it. I don't want to fight it, all I want is you." With those words I started to cry even more and jumped into his arms giving him a hug.
"I'm glad you told me everything, and I'm not scared of you if anything I'm starting to like you even more." I whispered in his ear and kissed his cheek. He looked surprised by my action and what I said that all he could do was hug me more.
"That makes me happy that you aren't running away from me or pushing me away. I don't think I could handle that." He said honestly.
"I would never push you away or run. I've had these feelings for you since we first met. I didn't know why I did because usually I don't fall for someone that quickly but with you, it was like something inside me was telling me to let you in and to be with you." Edward put me down and just stared in my eyes. 'Did I say the wrong thing' I wondered.
"No, not at all just surprised at what you said. I've never been told that before by anyone nor had my feelings returned."
"That Bella really did do a number on you didn't she?" I asked sadly. Edward looked at me and nodded his head yes. I couldn't help but feel horrible for him. No one I mean no one deserves what that bitch put him through. 'I just hope I'm good enough for you.' I thought with tears in my eyes. With that thought Edward hugged me and told me "You are perfect for me." He whispered kissing my cheek. All I could do was giggle at him.
"I think we should probably get to school before our parents get called" Edward laughed.
"Ugh that means I gotta see Mike huh?" I groaned into Edwards's neck. He just laughed and told me yes. He picked me up bridal style with me complaining that he didn't have to do that but he just ignored me and smiled.
When we arrived at school it was already lunch. 'Wow we were gone that long?' I thought to Edward.
"Yeah I didn't realize that either."
He stopped next to Rosalie's car and before we got out I grabbed Edward's hand. He looked at me concerned when he saw the look on my face. "What's wrong Sky?"
Biting my lip and looking at that handsome face I slowly asked him, "What are we exactly? Friends or something more?" I was a little scared of the answer. Edward glanced at me and I felt the blood rush to my cheeks.
"What would you like us to be Sky? I don't want you to feel obliged to be with me because of the whole mate thing. If you want to be friends and that's it then I would be happy to be just your friend." Looking at him I could tell that he was sad.
"To be completely honest with you, I really don't want to be just friends with you. I know that I don't have to be with you because of the mate thing but I would like to be with you because I really like you." I said shyly blushing too. I could feel Edward's happiness at what I said. He grabbed my hand and turned to me.
"I would love nothing more than to have you be just mine and to be just yours. So, with that I would like to know if you would give me the honor of being my girlfriend." He just flashed his perfect smile and I melted.
"Of course I would love to." I smiled and jumped into his arms. He hugged me back and then kissed my forehead. "Well we better get into school I guess." I really just wanted to stay there with him just how we were the rest of the day.
"But we can't love, but after school I'm all yours." He grinned at me and all I could do was blush.
When we got into the cafeteria, we were bombarded with the rest of the Cullen's asking us questions.
"Where were you two?"
"Where did you go?"
"Did you two make out?"
"Emmett shut up!"
"Sorry, they just seem happy."
"Of course there happy they got together and she knows about us." That was Alice's answer. 'How in the world did she know that?' I thought to Edward. He just chuckled and said, "Alice can see the future, so of course she already knows."
"Oh, really?" I questioned Alice. She giggled at me and said "Yeah, I saw it all and I must say it was ADORABLE!" she squealed. "I told you Edward. I so told you." Edward just glared at her but smiled none the less. Too bad the happy moment was interrupted by Mike.
"Hey Sky, could I please talk to you for a minute please." He looked terrified being around Edward.
Edward grabbed my hand and squeezed it. 'I'll be right back. If anything happens I will yell.' Edward didn't seem too happy about it but nodded his head. "Ok, let's go outside and talk." Mike looked trilled.
Hobbling my way outside I could hear Rosalie asking Edward how in the hell he could let me go with him. I just smirked and continued to follow Mike.
We stopped next to a tree and he turned to me looking sad and scared. "I just wanted to say that I am truly sorry for what happened to your leg and what happened on our date. I really wish that things turned out differently."
"If you are sorry than why in the hell did you take that waitresses number and continue to look at other girls?" I was getting irritated.
Mike looked at me and it seemed like he didn't know how to answer. After a few moments he finally spoke. "I don't know what I was thinking." That sentence pissed me off like no other.
"You didn't know what you were thinking? Really? That's the best you can do? I don't know what I was thinking?" all I could do is snicker at him. I couldn't believe that he actually said that.
"What more do you want from me? I told you that I was sorry and I really am. I really like you Sky and I would like nothing more than for you to give me chance." Mike's voice said he was sorry but the look on his face and in his eyes said he was full of it.
"I'm sorry Mike but I really don't want to be with you at all. You're so full of it I can smell it. I don't even think we can be friends. I'm sorry." I turned to leave and he grabbed me by my shirt and pulled me to him. "What the hell are you doing?" I raised my voice but before I could say anything Mike was up in my face.
"I want you to fucking listen to me and stop being such a bitch." My mouth dropped opened ready to say something when he put his hand over my mouth. "I said to listen to me! I am in love with you Skyla." He kept looking at my body. "I would love to rub your body and fuck you and I always get what I want and I want you." My eyes went big and yelled in my head, 'Edward!' Before I could even blink the whole Cullen clan was outside ready to kill Mike but Edward grabbed him by the throat and lifted him up.
"You will never and I mean NEVER touch Sky again do you hear me Newton? You so much as look the wrong way at her I'll string you up in a tree and leave you there. She doesn't want you and never will. So I suggest you leave her alone for now on. Understood?" All Mike could do was choke out a yes and then Edward dropped him. Mike hurried and ran back into the cafeteria. Edward turned around and hurried to me. Alice and Rosalie were holding me while I cried. "Are you ok Sky?" Edward asked gently grabbing me close and stroking my hair. I just looked up at him through watery eyes and shook my head no.
"What he said was vile and the look on his face was terrifying." I just clutched onto Edward's shirt for dear life.
"I would have been out here sooner but Newton's mind was going a thousand miles an hour. It was difficult to decipher his thoughts. I'm so sorry, so so sorry that happened." Edward said strained like he was about to cry, and stroked my hair softly. The only thing I could do was just cry into his shirt. By this time Rosalie and Alice were over by me comforting me as well. "I'm going to take you home ok?" Edward said softly.
"I would like that very much." I said through sobs still clutching his shirt for dear life.
