This one is short, really short compared to my others. I am also sorry it took me so long to get it out. I will be honest, I was being lazy, lol. The next chapter will be much longer, and I foresee sparkles.



"And just how do you know what they were thinking? Is this part of that big secret? I have figured it out you know. I know what is going now." He turned his unnatural, beautiful eyes to me. "So what do you know?"

I looked out the window beside me, trying to decide where to start. I could feel his eyes on me, burning into me as I looked away from him.

I sighed softly and looked at him, "Edward, you can't be human. There is just no possible way for you to be human; you moved too fast the day I was almost killed. I don't care what you tell me, I know you are not human."

I could hear him sigh softly, "You pay too much attention."

I looked back out the window, "I probably do but that is my problem. I just watch, and I let things sit. I was in Port Angeles using their library to look things up. You're a vampire aren't you?" I let the question hang in the air between us and he did not say anything for a while. We were almost to Forks when he pulled the car over, sitting there, staring out the window at the darkness ahead of us.

I didn't want to say anything, what would I say? I closed my eyes and then I felt his face right there with mine, close then he had ever let it get before. I could feel the coolness coming off him and I shivered a bit.

It was not from fear though; it was the thought of him so close. I opened my eyes slowly, looking at him, "You are, aren't you?"

He smiled, it was not a friendly smile though and I drew back a bit, "Would you like me if I was? Would it scare you to be in a car, alone with a blood sucker?" I blinked as he spoke, his breath moving across my skin, cool.

I sighed softly and pushed at him, he moved back as I pushed, "Edward, I don't care what you are, I just want the truth damn it. Yeah, I will be the first to tell you I play head games. I am a flirt and a tease. But this is too much for me. Games are one thing, outright lies are another. And that is what you are doing to me, lying to me." I think I hit a nerve with that because his face dropped and he looked sullen as he studied my face.

"Yes, I am a vampire. I have been one for almost 100 years or so. So I look 17, but am not." He turned from me, starting the car and pulling back onto the road. I sighed, and just shook my head. I kept from looking at him by looking out the window. I knew his big secret and yet I didn't feel better. I didn't feel closer to him, like this was what would bring us closer together. Actually I felt more alone at that point than ever. When he pulled up in front of my house I didn't even give him a chance to say anything.

I was not going to let him try and repair whatever it was that was broken at that point, "Look Edward, when I said I was falling for you I was not lying. The fact that you are a vampire does not change that fact. And your secret is safe with me, so don't worry. I guess I had seen this going differently." I climbed out of his car, slamming the door and heading to the house. He made no move to stop me or even say anything so I went inside.

Charlie wanted to know where the truck was and I told him the truth, it has broken down and that one of the Cullen boys was fixing it and said he would get back to the house as soon as possible. He nodded and went back to whatever he had been watching. I just sighed softly and headed upstairs. I got ready for bed quickly and lay there, under my blanket staring at the ceiling. I shifted uneasily in bed, it felt like I was being watched. I sighed and sat up; no one was in my room. I was just being overly paranoid again.

I climbed out of bed, roaming around my room before settling in the window sill. It was one of the more clear nights for the area; you could see patches of the sky through the clouds. I just say there, staring and I got that feeling like I was being watched again. I shifted a bit and there he was, the figure that had been there before and this time I knew exactly who it was. I just watched him as he watched me. And then he moved, he was there and then he was not. I knew he moved fast but it caught me off guard and I giggled a little bit as I moved away from the window back to the bed. I just curled up under the covers and let my mind wander. Of course, all my thoughts were of Edward. He was really starting to take over my life and that irritated me. I was irritated a lot by him. That thought made me giggle too.

"What is so funny?"

The simple question made me jump, almost screaming out as I heard it. I shot up in bed and there he was, standing in my room. He amber eyes locked with mine and I tried to not smile, "What the hell are you doing here?" He just gave me that half smile, the one that I can't help but melt when I see it. It was not fair he had that kind of effect on me.

"So, what is so funny?"

I just shook my head at him, I did not need to tell him everything. Though, honestly there were times I wanted too. I just wanted to yell at him, tell him everything I was feeling but then I would lose total control and there would be none of that.

I frowned at him, "That is none of your business. Now tell me what the hell you are doing here?" He stood there, the half smile never wavering and god I wanted it too. That smile killed me, and I am sure he knew it. I sat there on my bed, the blanket pooled around me. I didn't wear anything flashy to bed, a t-shirt and a pair of shorts. Who was I trying to impress in what was supposed to be an empty room?

"Well, I saw you in your window earlier and I decided I would come back and check on you. You are the one who left your window open. I just let myself in. I do it a lot actually, come check on you."

He what? "You what? You have been in my room before?" I was really trying to not jump off my bed at him. As it was I was having to control how I spoke so I would not wake up Charlie.

He stepped closer to my bed, "Look Bella, I have been drawn to you for a while. I just wanted to talk to you, watch over you and this was easier than trying to be your friend. But that is just not working well for me now, not since you know what I am. And well, since I know you like me I just figured I would let nature take its course." I sighed and closed my eyes, trying to wake up from this dream, because that is what this has to be, a bad dream with a great cast. When I opened my eyes he was still there, that god damn half smile still on his face.

"Go home Edward, we can talk tomorrow."

I laid back on the bed, making like I was going to go back to sleep. I heard him shift and looked at him, "Bella, skip school tomorrow and meet me at that place in the forest you found before. I need to show you something." I just nodded at him and closed my eyes briefly. When I opened them he was gone. This was just getting way too crazy way too fast.

Who was in control here? The little human or the big bad vampire?


I WANT REVIEWS PEOPLE. Is that too much to ask?
