Chapter Seven
Lullaby
EPOV
I had left Bella's side late last night upon her father's orders. Chief Swan was a kind man and even though I knew he could never hurt me, I had to make him believe that he could. So reluctantly I had left. I was planning on returning later tonight with Alice and Emmett when we were certain that he was gone.
It was odd that a human could have such a hold on me but Isabella Swan did. There were times where I could just get lost in her soulful brown eyes and I'd stare endlessly at her heart-shaped face. She was just as beautiful as any vampire.
And now here I sat at my piano, aggravated beyond belief.
"Why so frustrated?" Jasper's voice came from the doorway. I turned to glare at him. He wasn't alone. Alice was by his side.
This was the first time Jasper had really come within distance of me since yesterday's almost disaster.
"Is that a song you're writing?" Alice asked. I reached forward to hide the sheet music but was unsuccessful. It was already in Alice's hands. "You haven't written anything in a while, Edward."
"How can someone so small be so irritating?" I growled, snatching the music away from my sister.
She hissed angrily at me before taking it back. "Is this for Bella?" Alice exclaimed. Alice's face always lit up when she spoke of Bella. To her, Bella was the friend she always wanted that wasn't a part of the family but according to her thoughts and her visions, someday Bella would belong just as much as I did or Emmett or even Rosalie did.
"I don't think that's any of your business," I growled.
Her eyes sparkled and she pranced around the room, holding the sheet music tightly to her chest. "It is!" she cried. "Edward's in love, Jasper."
Jasper covered his mouth in order to hide his laughter and for a second, I thought we were all human instead of members of the eternally damned. I continued to glare at Alice and I knew I was fast. I was the fastest in the family but I would regret it later. Alice would find some way to torture me.
"Does it have a name?" I glanced from my piano to Alice. She was going through the pages. "Bella's lullaby? Are you going to play it for her, Edward? I'm sure she'd love it."
"You barely know her," I growled, finally deciding to snatch the music away.
"You have room to talk," she snapped. "Only saw her for a few days and already you're writing her a song? Edward, you're in love. Face the music."
I rolled my eyes and abruptly stood up, taking my music in my arms. "I'm going to see Bella," I replied. "Perhaps this time you and Emmett should stay here."
BPOV
I was resting my eyes when a knock sounded on the door and it opened.
"She must be sleeping," a deep voice said.
"Let's not bother her," another voice, this one higher pitched, said.
My lips curled upwards into a smile and I slowly opened my eyes. There stood my two best friends in the world. Angela Weber and Jacob Black.
Jacob was tall and somewhat lanky with russet skin. Sixteen and over six foot with beautiful long black hair that he normally kept tied back. A smile was always plastered on his face.
Angela was shy and only gave up to the middle of Jacob's torso. She was tan skinned, due to being Latina with dark brown hair and big brown eyes.
But yet they seemed to always be where the other was. I secretly think Jake has a crush on Ange and Charlie agrees with me but Angela has a thing for Ben Cheney, a guy from our school.
"We didn't wake you did we?" Angela asked, noticing that I was awake. Jacob glanced at me and a huge smile broke out across his face. He sat down on my bed, holding my hand gently while Angela sat in the nearby chair that Edward Cullen or Charlie would usually occupy.
"No," I croaked, a result of my latest treatment. "I was just resting. Treatments are making me tired but it's not as bad as chemo and radiation." I looked over at Jacob. "How's Billy?"
"Doing fine," Jacob said. "Emily Young is watching him so we could come visit you. Embry and Quil wanted to stop by but I convinced them it'd be better to wait. When are you going home?"
I gave off a small shrug. "Don't know. Doctor Cullen thinks I should be good to go by the end of the week then on bed rest for another week. You'll come visit me at home right?"
Angela and Jacob laughed. Jacob patted my hand gently. "Of course," Angela said. "You know we always come to visit you, Bella. I brought you you're work from school too." She lifted up the large bag she had been holding before placing it on the floor. "All the teachers say you don't have to start it until you are at home. They understand it's hard to do work when you're hooked up to machines with an IV in your hand."
"Thanks, Ange. You're a life saver."
"Gummy or hard?"
"Ha ha. You know what I meant."
All three of us laughed and we were eventually joined in with a beautiful laugh. I looked over at the door and saw Edward standing there; a bouquet of freesias were in his hand. "Hi, Edward!"
Jacob and Angela looked at each other before looking at the door.
"Hello," Edward said. He still didn't move from the doorway. "Am I interrupting?"
"No! Not at all!"
Angela looked at me, a knowing smile on her face. "A little too eager aren't we?" I heard her mumble. Edward glanced at Angela as if he had heard her before walking into the room. He replaced the old flowers that Alice had brought with the new ones.
"We better get going, Bells," Jacob said. He stood, causing the hospital bed to creak before bending down and kissing me on the forehead. Angela stood from the chair and hugged me.
"You're both leaving?" I asked.
They nodded. "We rode together."
I sighed and nodded. "Come back tomorrow?"
"Will do." Then Jacob wrapped an arm around Angela's shoulders and together the two left.
"Are they a couple?" Edward asked, now occupying the seat Angela had been seated in. he reached a hand forehead and gently brushed the hair out of my eyes.
"Nah," I said. "We think Jake has a crush on Angela but she's only got eyes for Ben Cheney."
"I've had the opportunity to meet, Ben. He keeps to himself a lot doesn't he? Like Angela."
"Yeah. So…" I bit my lip and looked around the room, looking at anything that wasn't him because when I looked at him, my heart felt like it was going to beat out of my chest. His eyes would look at me with such intensity. I felt like if I wasn't laying or sitting, I would surely faint. "How was school?"
"Boring," Edward chuckled. "I had the unfortunate opportunity to meet a Jessica Stanley and Lauren Mallory though. And that Mike Newton? All over my sisters."
I shook my head, trying to contain my own laughter. "Mike Newton used to be all over me too until he found out that I was sick that is. As for Jessica and Lauren, watch out. They'll do whatever they can to get what they want and I'm sure they want you, Edward."
Edward's cold hand engulfed mine, causing me to break out into goose bumps but it wasn't from his abnormally cold touch. Just him touching me in general caused this reaction. He was a God even more beautiful than Adonis. When he wasn't near, I feel like a part of me is missing even though we had just met almost a week ago.
"I'll keep an eye out for them then," he told me. I finally rested my gaze on him. His topaz eyes swirled with so many emotions. It was hard to tell how he really felt towards me but I could tell that he didn't feel obligated to be by my side. He wanted to and that was good enough for me. "You should rest, Bella." With his free hand, he began to trace the dark circles under my eyes. "It's not healthy to fight slumber."
"But –"
"Hush." His fingers now rested on my lips, causing me to blush. "Sleep now, Bella." Edward began to hum a tune that I had never heard before and surprisingly, my eyelids began to feel heavy.
When I finally did fall asleep, I dreamt of Edward.
