Chapter Seven: In Which Edward Felt Jealous

Bella, who was awoken from her dream by the sound of an angel laughing, flicked on her bedside lamp. She turned back to where she had seen him, her chair, but he was no longer there. Laughing, she muttered to herself, "stupid fool; the next time you see Edward Cullen in your room staring at you, don't turn the light on, and just grab him before he disappears." She turned her light back off shaking her head as if she knew had it all been a dream. She pulled her covers back over her head and within minutes she was sleeping peacefully again.

Edward, who was still outside, smiled at the remark she had made to herself. He was glad that she didn't catch him, however a part of him wanted her to find him so he sit with her all night, just watching her sleep. He re-entered the room, quietly, so not to wake her again because the next time she woke, he wasn't going to leave, he wanted to stay, he had something he wanted to try. But he wanted to finish reading Bella's Journal before he did. He flicked the book open again on the next entry and began reading,

I knew he wasn't going to be at school today but I was hoping he would cancel his trip with Emmett so he could spend just one more day with me. I had so many questions I wanted to ask him. I just wanted to be in his company, I craved him company. Ever since yesterday, things were finally looking up, we were joking around; through he was still always cryptic. My dreams have come back, better than they were before, less dark and mysterious and more of the sound of Edward's musical laughter and his perfectly sculptured face. Quite magical really.

We were standing in the middle of this bewitching meadow, full of wild flowers and tall, evergreen trees. We were lying in the middle of the meadow; both our gazes were locking upon each other. We were laughing and smiling; he was holding my hand. Then, with a bright flash of light, blinding me like the sun, it ended, like all good dreams that you wish were real. I really wish it didn't, it was the closet I was ever going to get to him.

Today was pretty boring without him, Biology especially. The first part of the day went ok, quite fast but as soon as it hit lunch it just dragged. Mike was all enthusiastic about the trip to La Push tomorrow, me and Angela decided we were definitely not surfing, we were going to explore the rock pools instead. I couldn't help but think of what Edward had said about not falling into the ocean, however much I resented the comment, I suppose it was quite endearing, caring, sweet you could say. Jessica kept quizzing me about what Edward wanted yesterday, I simply told her the truth, he didn't get to the point. When lunch finally finished it was Biology. Mike tried to sit next to me but lucky our teacher put a stop to that luckily. I missed him so much then, the questions, the awkward staring, that bell-sounding laugh, I missed it all, what would I do if he left? Not that he would ever see me in the same way I see him, but I love him, and I'd be lost without him. Gym was indescribably terrible, I hate that subject and it dragged. I couldn't wait to get home but as I opened the cab of my truck, on the chair, was a delicate piece of paper, written in the most elegant of script was the words "Be Safe." I smiled at him everlasting worrying, it was truly romantic and sweet, well that's how I saw it, he was probably making fun or doing it on only friendly terms, but it didn't matter to me, I loved it anyway.

I drove home as fast as possible, I had a pile of homework and had to cook our dinner as well and all I wanted to do was sit and relax which I managed to do but it took ages. Anyway, La Push tomorrow, meeting outside Mike's parents store at 10am tomorrow. Let's hope the weather hold up. For now, I going to bed, to dream sweet dreams as they are much better than my reality.

Edward liked the fact that their friendship had began to blossom, he liked the fact she dreamt of him so often, and that the dream was of an exquisite time together, not like her first dream. He missed her so dearly that day; he wanted to cancel his all of his plans to be with her, so spend one last day with her before her trip to La Push the following day. Damn the treaty, he wanted to spend the day with her at the beach, to show Mike, Jake, Eric and Tyler just how much she meant to him, that he loved her with all of his being, and no of them, or his secrets were going to stop him, not anymore. He also loved the fact he was the reason for her days, what made them, not like when they first met and he ruined them. He smiled at what her thought and what she thought his thoughts were behind his little note. Obviously, what she thought was his thoughts were wrong; their thoughts were identical, almost, he was being romantic and sweet, as well as trying to protect and care for the one he loved. However, sadness began to seep through his happiness when she said her dreams are better than her reality, because he wanted to make her reality so much better than her dreams.

Trying not to dwell on this feeling of sadness, he began to the next entry, the day at La Push.

March 5th 2005

La Push. Well not exactly the beaches of California but it has its own beauty.

We met outside the store at 10am just as instructed. I had to bring my truck because I was one of the only cars that could handle the dirt roads of La Push, apparently. We arrived at about 12 and the weather had taken a turn for the worst. The guys still decided they were going to surf so Angie and I went to explore the rock pools. We got really close to edge; you could see the bottom the water was so clear. There was lots of life, mainly starfish and crabs but it was fun all the same. I remembered what Edward had said, not to fall in, so I kept a safe distance away, but close enough to see. I liked spending time with Angie, she always knew what to do about everything, and if you just needed quiet, she would happily give it. I asked what I should do if I like a guy, a much more attractive and intelligent person than myself, but this person doesn't feel the same way, what do I? All she said was have you asked him? When I replied no, she simply said how do you know then? Angie is the best person to have around when you have a problem.

When it started to rain, me and Angie went back to the truck as we were walking back we bumped into a familiar face, well for me at least. It was Jacob and a couple of his friends. The rest of the guys had come up from surfing and where crowded around a bonfire when me, Angie, Jake and the guys sat down. We all sat around talking when Jessica was talking to Mike about me inviting a date. Eric's face was so funny at the thought of me having a date, I had to try my best not to laugh while explaining I had invited Edward because no-one ever does. Angie thought it was nice, but Mike just laughed saying he was freak which he isn't and Jake's friends agreed saying "The Cullens don't come here," in a very cryptic tone, as if it was forbidden to come here, and their tone let a rather strange nagging in the back of my mind which I tried to ignore to no anvil.

Soon after that Jake asked me to go for a walk with him, I accepted obviously as he is my friend but I had some crazy idea that maybe I flirted with him, I could get the information out of him, why they couldn't come here, why they thought they were freaks. So we were walking along talking about Forks and then about his friends. Then I asked the question, what did he mean, the Cullens don't come here. He said he wasn't supposed to talk about it much I made an effort to give an alluring smile and he continued about the legend of his tribe being the descendants from wolves and the Cullens were from an enemy clan, the cold ones. They claimed to be different from their true enemies and his great-grandfather made a treaty with them. They had to stay of Quileute lands and they won't expose them to us. I asked if the Cullen were descendents of the family who they made the treaty with and he replied they are the same family, just with two new members. Then I asked the final question, what I really wanted to know, what are the cold ones? He simply replied vampires. Then fell about laughing at the fact I had goose-bumps, I laughed along too complimenting his storytelling. We agreed not to tell anyone about what we talked about and continued our walk until Mike came along and said we were packing up. I said goodbye to Jacob and thanked him for a nice time and I'd come back and see him soon.

I had a great day, especially with Jake. But what we spoke about was whirling round my head. Was it real? Is it possible? What if it was? What if they are the family the Jake's great grandfather made a treaty with? That would make the Cullens…Edward…a vampire. I couldn't think straight, it was all too confusing so I'm going to put some music on and drowned out my thoughts.

Edward was happy that Bella had had a nice time with her friends. He was pleased that she was so close to Angela she could talk about her feelings with her instead of keeping them inside. Edward always like Angela, she was one of those sensible girls who liked everyone. He was particularly pleased with the advice that she had given to Bella. Maybe she would find the courage in her to ask him out, then again, maybe not when she had such absurd views on him, like him being "godly", etc. He also liked the fact the lad were in shock that Bella had actually asked a "date" to go, though she just said she was being nice, from her talk with Angela, he knew she wanted more.

His good mood was soon ruined when Bella started talking about Jake, and he was enraged when they went for a walk alone but he just had to laugh at the thought of Bella trying to flirt with Jacob for information, it was a ludicrous idea and plainly hilarious. I didn't like the idea of Bella trying to find out what he really was but Jakey-boy just broke the treaty, which could come in handy at some point, he thought as a devious smile played across his lips. Anyway, he had to admit Jacob could tell the story well, he got that from his father, but Bella wasn't easily scared, or at least he hoped she wasn't, so he was surprised when he read that she had goose-bumps.

A wave of jealous rage swept over him as he read that Bella had a nice time with Jacob. Of course, she was allowed to have a nice time but with Jacob, when he knew how he felt about her, the thought of Bella and him being alone, having time together that he wants to be spending with Bella. Forcing his way into their relationship, Edward didn't like this. He tried to resist running down to La Push and ripping Jacob's head off, but he was just so angry. He didn't want to believe that he was jealous, he didn't like the fact he was jealous of a dog, and he knew Bella, hopefully, would never leave him and choose Jacob but he couldn't help feeling this way. Edward hadn't felt these human emotions for so long and now, now he had Bella to bring his heart back to life, the emotion had come back 10 fold. He could resist tearing Jacob apart for trying to force them apart.

He placed the diary on the chair and jumped out the window. He began to run. He ran and ran until he met the invisible border line into Quileute lands. There he stopped.

(A/N: OME is Edward going to kill Jacob? (I do hope so :P) Or will he see reason and run back to his Bella? Who know? I DO!!! Anyway hope you like it, I dedicate it to all my lovely reviewers because your reviews mean the world to me. Next Chapter will be up as soon as possible. Love ya all xxx)
