Author Note: This chapter took me around 3 hours to write, so its pretty good at least in my opinion. This is a very important chapter to the story, the dream is one of the most important parts in this story and you have to try and remember what is being said for the future chapters. With that being said, the only way future chapters are going to happen is if you review, it also helps me to update quicker. Now on with the chapter.

Chapter 6
Dreams, More Notes, Blabber Mouths, and Tears.
The sun was trying to make it through the trees to where I was sitting. Its efforts only made the forest look greener through the translucent leaves. I could feel the wind blowing through my hair and kissing my skin leaving only goose bumps. The log felt rough and hard under my hands. The goose bumps were leaving as the sun beat the leaves and touched my skin, leaving a nice cozy feeling. I could hear every movement of the smaller animals in the grasses and underbrush through the serene silence.
"Why Edward?" I asked myself, "He is way too perfect. There's no way I could deserve him!" I yelled throwing back my head. I bit my lip before I could make myself cry. I almost lost my grip on the log when I heard something move behind me. I whizzed around, getting myself dizzy. Once my eyes regained their focus I almost screamed. I would have if I hadn't looked at his eyes first. The sheer size of him should have sent me running. The only thing that kept me in my place was the look of care and concern in his eyes. I looked him up and down and noticed that he something tied to his ankle. It didn't look painful; it actually looked more like denim so I forgot about it. He was a beautiful russet brown. I had to be dreaming because I put my hand out for him to smell. He smelled it and in one step for him (which would have been five for me), was up in my face and gave me the biggest kiss. I looked at him bewildered. He sat there panting with what I could of swore was a smile. Dogs, canines, wolves, whatever, couldn't smile. Well, this wolf was the size of my pick up truck so why not, let him smile. I opened my arms for a hug and he gently laid his giant head on my shoulder. He pulled away from me with a look of great concern like he knew I was doing something really dangerous. He pulled into the shadows of the trees. I thought I was going crazy just from that but what happened next should have pushed me off the edge. The wind shifted and gained strength. He walked into the sun. I will never forget the five seconds I got to look at him. After that he had a look of hatred and despair. He was looking to the left. I followed his gaze and, once again, almost lost my grip on the log. Before I could fall Edward was holding me up by my waist. The wolf boy, as I called him, was at the other side of the clearing in two seconds. He could have growled but I just saw his lips bear his teeth. I couldn't hear anything. He turned and ran through the woods. After a few seconds, Edward looked back at me with wonder and curiosity.
"I love you, Edward." I said laying my head on his shoulder. I shivered because of the iciness of it. The sky went black and it started to replay the first night when he attacked me until I woke up hyperventilating.
I woke up looking at the end of my bed trying to control my breathing. I couldn't believe it was a dream. It all seemed so real. The world around me, the feelings and the way everything looked. It was amazing. That boy, wolf, man, I didn't know what to call him. He had the face of a twelve year old but his body was that of a twenty seven year old. Once I woke from my daydream, I looked at my clock.
"Crap! I'm going to be late!" I ran a brush through my hair and put on extra deodorant, knowing I wouldn't have time for a shower. I had to be at the school and in the classroom in half an hour. I pushed my poor car to its limit of sixty mph. I was expecting the looks I got from the other drivers, considering I was speeding and that my dad was the sheriff in Forks. I got in the parking lot and almost cursed when I saw the silver Volvo. I brushed it off though, and focused on parking the car. When I got to homeroom, I saw a note at my seat.
Seeing as how you like to use notes,
I thought I'd write one asking you to dinner and you can tell me your answer in biology. See you then.
Edward Cullen
I was still staring at the note when class began. Angela threw a paper ball at me to break my trance before the teacher noticed. Mike still looked upset from my answer yesterday. Yesterday, it seemed like it happened a week ago. I was really getting irritated with the way the day would slip out from under my hands when I was expecting to see him. I wouldn't say his name. It gave me butterflies and I would probably end up at the nurse instead. Once we were out of class, Angela was on me like white on rice.
"What was with you?" she asked.
"I got a note that's all."
"It had to be pretty good to put that look on your face." I glared at her. "What?! I was just saying. So……. Who's it from?"
"Do I really have to answer?" She nodded so hard her head could have fallen off, "Edward Cullen." I said it in the smallest voice and she STILL heard me.
"ARE YOU SERIOUS?!" she practically screamed and I put my hand over her mouth looking around. Good. No one noticed. "I mean, we all know he is hot but he always acts like none of us are good enough for him. He has never dated a girl in the school!" she was babbling, assuming I was listening. That was until I yelled at her.
"Are you trying to make it harder for me to fit in or what? If that's the case, then you're not a very good friend."
"I'm sorry. It's just that…… Edward Cullen wrote you a note. WOW." She looked like a complete idiot as she mouthed the words. Then it hit me.
"Girl, you better not tell a single soul! I don't need any more issues." I gave her a stern look and her being her cheery, immature self, saluted me and walked away laughing. That just made me feel so much better.
When the lunch period came around, I was mad at myself again. I couldn't help but feel excited to see him at his table. I walked in through the double doors just to have my heart sink below the floor. He wasn't at his table. That might explain why he wanted my answer in biology class. I walked over to our table trying to be as cheerful as I could but it didn't work so well. I sat down and before my bag hit the ground I was bombarded with questions.
"What the note say?"
"Why are you so gloomy?"
"What are you going to tell him?"
"Bella, why won't you answer us?" I couldn't tell who was asking what questions but I was tired of them all.
"The note was and is none of your business! Now leave me alone!" I yelled and then stomped out to the court yard where no one could see me and sat on a bench. I hung my head in my hands and concentrated on not crying. After a minute or two, I heard footsteps. At least it meant it wasn't Edward. He seemed to be able to move without making a sound.
"Please just go away." I pleaded.
"I'm not going to leave you when you need someone to talk to. That's not what friends do." I looked up and saw that Mike was looking at me with a concerned gentleness in his eyes. "Know something's bothering you. You don't have to tell me you can just lean on my shoulder and cry if it makes you feel better. I know it feels better to cry on someone who cares than to cry by yourself." He told me while he scooted up onto the bench.
"Thanks Mike. You're a real friend you know that." I said. I couldn't hold it back any longer. I wrapped him in a hug and started crying. He hugged me back and told me it was going to be okay. It was if I was five again and I just broke my favorite toy. When I finally stopped I looked to the clear glass doors and saw no one was in the hallways. "Crap! We're late!" I said.
"Its okay. Our math teacher won't mind. Plus, I told Angela that if we were late to tell the teacher you were having a break down and I was trying to help." He said with a smile that made me laugh.
"I'm really glad that you're my friend, Mike. Most guy friends only want to stare at my butt." I said smiling. I was wiping my face so I didn't go into math looking like a complete moron when he said.
"I'm glad to hear it. Now, lets get to math and bore ourselves to death." I laughed and gathered my things. We were quiet until we got to the door of the classroom. "Bella, if you ever need someone to talk to, who won't blab to the whole school, I'm your guy." He said and we walked into math class and I was already bored out of my mind and the teacher didn't even start his lecture yet.
So that's chapter 6. If you want to know what Bella gives Edward as an answer you'll just have to wait for the seventh chapter. Which I do have finished, but in order to get it. Your going to have to review
