I awoke covered in sweat. I knew I had a nightmare, and I knew that they heard me. I asked them the last time I had a nightmare not to rush to my side next time, because I have stupid nightmares. Although, Edward said he still wasn't going to hesitate to ask what it was about. I stared at the ceiling. There was no storm. No monster. Morning sunlight shined into my eyes from my curtains. I groaned and sat upright. I thought I saw a shadow flicker across the glass of the window- a humanlike shape. On a horse. . . .with wings? Then Edward called me ," Rise and Shine, or we're going to be late for school." It must've been my imagination. A third-story window with nothing to climb on the way up here . . . . there couldn't have been anyone. I got up and dragged my feet across the carpet, probably creating static with the friction. I quickly undressed, and aimed my clothes for the hamper. "Kobe!" I said excitedly, just before missing it. "Oh, I Lebron'd it ," I thought outloud. Laughter filled throughout the house and then I heard a very grumpy "What?!" . I quickly grabbed a towel and covered myself up, just before a very disgruntled Emmett bursted in,
"What do you mean 'Lebron'd it'," adding quotation marks as he spoke ,"he is one of the best players alive!".
"Ok, Emmett. Whatever you say."
I passed him up, giving him a pat on the back as I approached the shower. I opened the bathroom door , looking behind to see Emmett with a smug look on his face. Confused I shrugged it off, until I turned around to see Edward frozen, with a towel around his waist his body covered in water from his shower and holding a wet toothbrush. I didn't even think that someone might be in here. I assumed he was brushing his teeth before I bursted in. Seeing him relax when he realized who it was, I relaxed too.
"Hey"
He brushed past me, giving me a kiss on the cheek. I swerved around in time to see the surprised and disappointed look on Emmett's face before I smirked and locked the door behind me as I began my shower. I got finished with my shower and slipped on clothes quickly. Throwing my hair into a bun , and putting on some jeans and a band tee. I whisked on some mascara and chapstick and took my time down the steps, grabbing my backpack as I went out of my bedroom door. I could hear Alice, disappointed that I didn't wear the outfit she picked out for me while I was in the shower. I could see them all staring at me walking down the stairs, probably because I was taking so long. When I reached the bottom, Emmett annoying said "Finally!"
Conveniently, at the same time, Edward whispered "Beautiful."
I blushed. Just then, the shadow from earlier appeared right at the top of the window, and I saw a glimpse of black hooves. This time, the Cullens looked too. They rushed outside. It was gone.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing, love, let's get to school."
The school day went relatively fast, I received a few glares from Jessica and her friends at Lunch, but it didn't bother me in the slightest. I just wanted to rush back home and spend time with Edward in our meadow. As soon as Edward dropped the others off at home we pulled out of the driveway. I could hear Emmett complaining. While the rest of them stared as the car pulled out in awe.
"Am I the only one who didn't know about them?!"
"Nope, You know now. Don't you?" Then I heard a slap and an "Ow, Rosie. What for?"
"For bursting into Bella's room while she was only wrapped up in a towel."
I glanced at Edward. If he heard Rose like I did, I wondered how he would react to that tidbit of information. He seemed calm, like he already knew and beat up Emmet. He chuckled and sighed reminiscently. Hmm, maybe he did. I could just picture Edward beating Emmett with whatever was conveniently around. We approached our meadow while I was lost in thought. I jumped out of the car and rushed into the woods smiling and laughing, gracefully avoiding branches and trees.
"Bella, wait!"
I heard him chuckle and chase after me.
EPOV
I raced after her, going half speed so she would feel more accomplished. I looked at her to see her huddled up on the ground the light reflecting on her as she began reading her favorite story 'Romeo and Juliet'. I smirked. I ran past her and grabbed her book.
"Let's see what part Bella's reading."
" Aww, c'mon Eddie I just want the book." She said smirking and starting towards me.
She knows I don't like that nickname, Jasper thought it up to annoy me. My name is Edward . Nothing else.
"You pulled the name card." I grinned "Well, Bells, now you can't have it."
I know she doesn't like that name, makes her feel like a helpless little kid. Emmett thought it up to annoy her.
Maybe I shouldn't have called her that, however, because then she tackled me. And I fell. Granted, I fell on purpose, but If I was human that would have knocked me down and broken my rib. She's not fat though, just really strong. She straddled me and swiped the book at of my hand, before grinning triumphantly. Did she really think she knocked over a vampire with no help from me? That's cute. I decided to let her enjoy herself. We were there for awhile, slowly realizing her position on me. She leaned down, as I pushed a loose hair behind her ear. When we kissed it was- . Second thought, I won't let her think she knocked over a vampire. I'll show her. I grabbed the book from her, and gently (but quickly) removed her off of me. As much as I loved her presence there, she needed to know. Before, either of us knew it , we were chasing each other back and forth and eventually we chased each other to the car. We drove back home in laughter.. . . . . . I just wish I had known then , what I know now. If I had, I would have taken us to Esme's island and never looked back . We both had secrets, of that I knew. But If I had known. . . . . If only I knew.
Sorry guys, I wanted to leave a bit of mystery in this chapter. There are a lot of clues as to what will happen in this story in this chapter. Maybe not throughout the whole story, but throughout the next few chapters. Sorry for more unanswered questions. I'll answer more questions in the chapter after next. :)
