Maybe it's intuition
But some things you just don't question
Like in your eyes
I see my future in an instant
and there it goes
I think I've found my best friend
I know that it might sound more than
a little crazy but I believe
[chorus:]
I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life
There's just no rhyme or reason
only this sense of completion
and in your eyes
I see the missing pieces
I'm searching for
I think I found my way home
I know that it might sound more than
a little crazy but I believe
[repeat chorus]
A thousand angels dance around you
I am complete now that I found you
I Knew I Loved You by Savage Garden
(My Favorite song in the whole world.)
I drove to Clair's house slower than normal dreading the moment I had to go up her front steps and ring the doorbell. I looked at the dashboard clock to see I was 3 minutes away from being late. I stopped at a red light and looked around I stopped when I looked at a house where I saw a guy In front of some girl on her porch they seemed to be arguing. The girl turned on the porch light and I got a good look at the people, it was Jacob and Jessica and just when the light turned green she jumped on him and they started making out.
I swallowed back a gag and continued driving wondering why I didn't just tell Bella that Jacob was cheating on her instead of living in a life of secrets I thought some more and just before I turned on to the street of Clair's house I found my answer; I didn't want to ruin our friendship. If I told her and she took it well she would most likely brake up with Jacob her dad would be mad because he is best friends with Jacob's dad and their friendship between him and Billy would break apart because of me, and after she breaks up with Jacob I would feel obligated to tell her that I was in love with her and she defiantly won't take well to that because she just broke up with Jacob and she would think I was taking advantage of her even though that's not the case it still wouldn't play out well.
If I told her and she didn't take it well then you already know that won't go out well I sighed in frustration and went up Clair's walkway to her front door she opened the door after the first bell (eager much?) and smiled widely at me, "Hi, Edward!"
"Hi Clair, you ready?" I looked down and saw that she was wearing a faded jeans and a pink tight fitted shirt that sad 'Bite Me' on it, "Yeah let me go get my jacket." She came back after a minute turning to lock the door we walked to my car and I opened the passenger door for her out of pure habit. She said thank you and blushed but it wasn't as appealing as Bella's blush. I said you're welcome and walked around the front of the car and into the driver seat. I started and the car and made sure that Clair had her seatbelt on before going off to the diner.
"So how's life going," I ask trying to make small talk.
"Life is fine, I guess." She said this with a small smile on her lips.
"Hey let's play a game of 20 questions so I could get to know you better, cool?" I asked.
"Yeah you go first." We arrived at the diner and I stepped out of the car opening the door for her and walking to the door also opening that door for her too.
We went in and got a seat in the back she sat down in the booth and I sat across from her, "Ok so, what's your favorite color."
"Um yellow,"
"Yellow? Why yellow?" I asked as the waiter came and put the menus in front of us and asked us if we wanted anything to drink. I asked for a coke and she asked for water. When he walked away she answered, "Because yellow stands out."
"Oh, ok what's your favorite book?" I asked.
"You know I've only read one book cover to cover in my whole life. To me reading is a waste of time." She said taking a sip of the water the waiter just put on the table he asked us if we made up our minds on what we wanted to eat. I picked the first thing that popped in my head which was a hamburger and French fries while Clair ordered a salad.
He wrote down our orders and took our menus then walked away, "You've only read one book cover to cover? What book was that?" I said looking at the table tracing random patterns on it.
"Cat in the hat by Dr. Seuss." She said unfazed.
I looked at her and almost laughed but kept it inside of me, "Really when?" I said.
"This summer it was really good I mean that guy is a genius." She replied.
The waiter came with our food and placed it on the table for us. I took the bottle of ketchup and placed it on my burger and fries.
"How are you eating that?" Clair asked.
"Like this," I said confused as I ate a French fry.
"Eww do you know how much fat and calories are in those?" she looked like she was about to throw up.
"Um no?" I said.
I want to stand with you on a mountain.
I want to bathe with you in the sea.
I want to lay like this forever.
Until the sky falls down on me.
She was about to say something else when I heard my phone ring. I took it out of my pocket and looked at the caller ID to see that it was Bella calling me, I should have known by the ringtone, Truly Madly Deeply by Savage Garden, but I really wasn't paying any attention to that.
I picked up the call and said, "Hello?" I knew it was rude to Clair but this is Bella we're talking about here.
"Hey Edward," Her voice sounded as if she had a cold and that was weird because Bella never gets sick and when she does you should be scared.
"Hey," I said, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing it's just I'm not feeling well and my mom and Esme went to this thing in Port Angeles and our dads went with them and they won't be back till tomorrow and Alice, Jasper, Emmett, Rosalie, Logan, and Spencer all went out together and Jacob is over his Grandmas house and I know your busy but," She coughed, "I need you."
Those words made my heart soar in false hope but I could dream right?
"Yeah, That's ok I'll be there in half an hour ok? Drink some cold medicine." She said ok and hung up.
I stood, "Um, Clair I have to go, I'm sorry to cut this short." She looked at me probably waiting for more information but I wasn't going to give and right now.
She stood too and I left a 50 dollar bill on the table and almost ran from the diner. I didn't even bother to open the door for Clair so I just went straight to the driver seat, put my seat belt on and started the car. I drove to Clair's house and said sorry a couple of times and threw in an 'I had a great time tonight' and went to the pharmacy. I got some more chough medicine and cough drops before paying for them and running back out.
I reached Bella's house in less than 10 minutes and let myself into her house and bedroom.
When I saw her she looked so pale and frail. Her hair was in a messy bun but she still looked beautiful. She was wrapped in one of those Snuggie things that I bought her for Christmas last year, and she was watching TV. I heard her cough and then I walked to where she was sitting on her bed.
"Hey Bells." I said putting the bag of medicine on her bed side table.
She looked up at me and smiled, "Hey Edward," I sat down next to her on the bed and said, "How you feeling."
To which she replied, "Bad."
"I brought so cough medicine. Did you take it when I told you to?" I asked softly.
"No, I didn't want to get up, sorry." She said with a little pout that melted me inside.
I took it out of the bag, "First of all do you have a thermometer?"
"Yeah in the bathroom,"
"Be right back," I got up and went into the bathroom I looked in the medicine cabinet and took out the thermometer. I went back to Bella and told her to open her mouth.
"You have a temperature of 104, Bells."
"I know." She said looking up at me.
"It's ok I will be your doctor until your better." I gave her some chough medicine and told her it might make her drowsy. I turned out the lights in the room the only source of light was the TV. I lay down next to her on the bed her head resting on my chest.
"Thank you Edward for everything." She said quietly.
"No problem Bella, I'd do anything for you."
"I love you, Eddy."
"I love you too."
What was your favorite part, line? I would really like to know.
Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!
