Disclaimer: I do not own the original twilight series nor do I own the characters. This plotline is my own idea, and there may be OC's.
READ:
A/N: It's a pathetic excuse for a chapter, I know, and I know that it's three days late PLUS really short, and I don't have any reasoning for that exept writers block. I couldn't think of this chapter really well.
To help things like that from happening again, any input on what you think should happen throughout the story would be great. Esp. if it's something you think should happen in the next chapter. I'm going to start writing out the chapter contents before I start writing them so it'll be easier, but yeah, I will do everything I can to keep the shortness from becoming a regular thing.
Chapter Seven: Learning to Fall
B.P.O.V
I awoke the next morning with a pair of arms around my waist. With no recollection of whose arms they were exactly, I shifted my weight so that I was facing the boy next to me. I noticed the bronze hair that covered his face and immediately recognized him as Edward, and he wasn't wearing a shirt. With that realization, last night's events also replayed themselves in my mind. He looked so peacefully. You could see his muscles flex slightly with every breath he took. I noticed it was about 6 am on Monday morning, and today there was no school. I was still too tired to actually maneuver myself out of his grasp, so instead I snuggled back into his chest and fell back asleep.
By the time I woke up again, the arms were gone and it was 9 am. I faintly heard the shower running in the bathroom attached to the room I was in, which I'm assuming was Edwards. I crawled out of the bed to find out I was still wearing my clothes from yesterday. I walked silently out of Edward's room and downstairs towards the kitchen. Alice was sitting at the table bouncing as she ate a bowl of cereal.
"Good morning, Bella. Sleep well?" She sang with a mischevious smile crawling across her face. I just groaned in reply.
"I fell asleep in Edward's room. I talk in my sleep. What if I said something embarassing Alice?" I rambled while I felt the blood rush to my face.
"Bella, he said the only thing he heard you say was something along the lines of 'No, Emmett, don't irritate the grizzly bear. They might climb out of your soup and eat me.' " She laughed.
I glared at her as I turned around to grab a bowl and some cereal. I placed them on the counter and went to grab the milk. When the fridge door was closed there was a figure standing beside it staring at me. I screamed and almost fell on my back but the figure, which I know saw was Edward, grabbed me and held me steady. "Uhm, thank you. Uh, sorry I fell asleep on your bed last night, you could've woken me up."
"You're welcome and it's fine. I don't mind." He replied with a breath taking crooked smile.
I nodded and went back to the counter with the milk still in my hand. Edward had also grabbed a bowl and took the cereal and milk from me while I went to sit down. Alice stood up, placed her bowl in the dishwasher after rinsing it out, and danced out of the room. I rolled my eyes at her chipper attitude this early in the morning while Edward chuckled, pulling the seat across from me out. I sat silently as I ate the cereal in my bowl.
"So, have you always talked in your sleep?" Edward questioned.
"Perhaps. I don't remember much from when I was really young, but ever since I was atleast, eight years old." I answered as my cheeks began to heat up.
"I see. Have you always had such, uhm, strange dreams?"
"Have you always listened to people while they're sleeping to see if they talk or not and make fun of them for it if they do?" I snapped.
"No. I was lying on my bed and you just started. I didn't mean to. What Alice doesn't know is you also said something about running Tayna over with, but don't tell her about last night, I don't plan on telling her about everything, and she'd force me to if she found out you knew."
"Alright then." I said in a bored tone. I finished the last of my cereal and went to put my dishes in the dishwasher. Then I ran up to Alice's room.
E.P.O.V starting when he woke up.
My head hurt when I woke up. I vaguely remember Bella falling asleep last night and talking about Emmett and Tanya. It was actually funny. My arms were wrapped around her waist and he face was against my chest. I released her as gently as I could and slid out of bed. I put on a shirt, and walked downstairs to see if Alice was up. Of course she was, and she was watching the news in the living room.
"Good Morning Edward, my dearest brother. How was your night?" Alice sang.
"Fine. Yours?" I groaned.
"Perfect. I noticed Bella was missing this morning, any idea where she is? I hardly even saw her yesterday."
"She fell asleep in my room. We were talking, about nothing in particular, and she fell asleep. I thought it would be rude to wake her. Did you know she talks in her sleep?"
"Hahaha, yeah. That was nice of you. Yes, she was talking Saturday night, too. What was she saying?"
"Uhm, 'No, Emmett, don't irritate the grizzly bear. They might climb out of your soup and eat me' or something like that. It was hard to hear, she was only mumbling. I'm going to shower." I climbed the stairs and walked silently into my room incase Bella was still sleeping. Sure enough, she was still laying there, snoring softly and breathing deeply. I walked into my bathroom and turned the water on. After I undressed I stepped into the shower, which was the perfect temperature. The water pounding hard on my back was comforting, I couldn't explain it, but it was.
I felt more relaxed when my shower was finished. I turned the water off and grabbed a towel out of the cabnet. I wrapped it around my waste and walked into my room. Luckily Bella had gotten up and was no longer in there. I dried myself off and got dressed, wearing a pair of jeans and a white T-shirt. I towel-dried my hair and then combed through it. That didn't really do anything, but it was a habit. When I was ready, I walked into the kitchen again, this time intending on eating. By the time I was down there, Bella had a bowl and cereal out and was getting milk from the fridge while Alice sat at the table. As the fridge closed, Bella noticed me standing there and screamed, almost falling on her back until I steadied her.
"Uhm, thank you. Uh, sorry I fell asleep on your bed last night, you could've woken me up." she said quietly.
"You're welcome and it's fine. I don't mind." I replied with a smile.
She nodded and went back to the counter with the milk in her hand. I grabbed a bowl and took the cereal and milk from her when she was done as she went to sit down. Alice stood up, placed her bowl in the dishwasher after rinsing it out, and danced out of the room. I chuckled at her while bella rolled her eyes at her and I pulled the seat across from her out.
"So, have you always talked in your sleep?" I asked.
"Perhaps. I don't remember much from when I was really young, but ever since I was atleast, eight years old." She answered and her cheeks began to blush.
"I see. Have you always had such, uhm, strange dreams?"
"Have you always listened to people while they're sleeping to see if they talk or not and make fun of them for it if they do?" I snapped.
"No. I was lying on my bed and you just started. I didn't mean to. What Alice doesn't know is you also said something about running Tayna over with, but don't tell her about last night, I don't plan on telling her about everything, and she'd force me to if she found out you knew."
"Alright then." she said in a bored tone.
I chuckled as she pulled her chair out and rinsed her dishes before putting them in the dishwasher like Alice. I actually waited for her to speak of course, but that would seem weird to her. It was weird to me too, I didn't know her, but she was sort of amusing, especially with the part about Tanya. I was glad I told her. I may not know if I can trust her to keep everything I said a secret, but she didn't seem like the type to lie, and getting everything off my chest was great.
