AN: Thanks for the reviews, and alerts and the faves.. I'm running out of ideas so I might update a bit more slowly for the next chapters.. I hope you can tell me if you have any suggestions..
This is not true. It's all just a bad dream. I am going too wake up any minute now and find Edward waiting for me to open my eyes. Then, it will all go away. No Nathan and his stupid ability. This will all be a dream that I will forget when I wake up.
But no, vampires can't sleep. Which means they don't dream. And I am one of them now. So, everything that had happened, everything Nathan told me had been true, unless he is lying. Which is a stupid move, unless he wants Edward to tear him into pieces.
Wait, Edward. He had spoken to Nathan earlier, hadn't he? So he must know about this. But, why had he agreed then?
"Bella? Bella. Bella!"
I blinked. Nathan had both hands on my shoulder and was shaking me. He looked worried. His face was close enough to touch. But that didn't explain why my hand was reaching for him. My hand proceeded into brushing his hair from his eyes.
All of a sudden, I was seeing something. Something like what Renesmee can do. But this one felt familiar. Like seeing a memory from a distant time.
"Stop it!" I cried.
I was in third grade. And Greg Phyllis and his friends won't leave my hair alone.
"Come on. Let me give you a haircut. I promise I'll do a nice job." He snickered while his stupid friends laughed loudly behind him. He continued to approach me with a pair of sharp scissors.
"Leave me alone!" I could feel the hot tears in my eyes. But he still kept on advancing towards me. I backed away and the tears flowed as I hit the wall. He had me cornered.
He let out a big laugh and raised the scissors. I could do nothing but wait for it to make contact with my hair. But it seemed like ages and I finally opened my eyes to see what was taking him so long.
But there, in front of Greg was a the new kid. He placed a hand on Greg's shoulder and kept it there even when Greg tried to shake it off.
"What do you want?" Greg asked, annoyed.
"Didn't you hear her? She told you to leave her alone." he said in a low voice. Then, surprisingly, Greg backed up. He scowled at me before walking away with his obnoxious friends.
He watched them leave before turning back to me. "You okay?"
I nodded. He stuck out his hand and smiled, "I'm Nathan."
I smiled back and took his hand. "Bella."
I gasped as the scene ended. It felt so familiar that it seemed ridiculous that I forgot about it.
I looked back at Nathan who was staring at me with a doubtful expression.
"You okay?" he asked.
I nodded. Then I realized that my hand was still on his hair. I quickly dropped it back to my lap.
"So. What do you think?"
I took a deep breath. "Why'd you make me forget?"
He looked at me with sad eyes. "Cause you asked me too."
"Um… Why in the world would I do such thing?"
"I told you, I can't make you remember everything at once. Let's try again tomorrow, okay?" he said, standing up.
I nodded, and then I remembered something. "Wait!" I cried.
He froze mid step. He turned back reluctantly. "Yes?"
"You said you were my fiancé, well, almost. But is that true?"
He winced. "Yes." And with that he was out of the room before I can say another word. He left me there wondering what made me do such thing.
review?
