BPOV
Run. Run. Run. "You can do it, Bella!" Edward's voice echoed in the dark forest. I was sprinting as fast as I could, hardly able to feel my legs. Although considering such a klutz I am; it was shocking that I hadn't fallen once yet. "Don't give up! Please, Bella!" I heard him again.
"Edward!" I called. I knew he was there, but where was he? I knew I was running, of course, but where to? It was too dark for any human to see anything in. Maybe animals, yes, but me? No. I heard the twigs snap beneath me as I ran over them, but I still didn't know why I was running. I was in a forest, but was it Forks? It was dark; but how did I know I wasn't just blindfolded? "Bella, keep running straight! Don't lose track." Edward replied. He sounded extremely close, yet loud. This was utterly absurd. "You're almost there!"
"Where?" I asked, still sprinting as fast as possible. "Oh!" I gasped as my knees harshly hit the floor; twigs cracked beneath me.
"No!" Edward roared. "Bella!"
I won't fail. I won't fail. Whatever this was, I had to win. I just had to. It felt like not only mine, but Edward's and god knows whom else's life was on stake; and I was the one who could set them free. I got to my feet quickly and picked up my pace from where I had left. I ran faster each time I heard Edward's encouraging, yet warning words echo.
I saw it. A bright light not to far away from me. I saw a figure stand in the middle of the light, with his arms stretched forward. It was Edward.
"Come on, Bella. Just a little more." He begged. My body began to quiver greatly. I felt a pair of hands squeeze my shoulder. I gasped aloud.
Pitch black snapped over my eyes for a quick second before Edward's beautiful face was inches before mine, his expression unreadable. "Bella? Are you okay?" He whispered.
I nodded almost too quickly. "What... What time is it?" I asked breathlessly.
"Did you have a nightmare, Bella?"
"Yes." I admitted foolishly, biting on my bottom lip.
"It's six-fifteen a.m." He replied my question. "No one's awake yet."
I nodded again, not knowing how to continue the conversation yet. My head was woozy from the weird dream I'd had. "Do you want to get ready? Alice will be up soon, too."
"I-I'll go in a minute. I actually wanted to ask you something."
He nodded. "Go ahead."
I bit my lip. This was going to be foolish, but I needed an answer. "So... after last night, does it mean... does it mean that we're, you know, a couple now?" I sounded like such a clown. How embarassing! Gah, Bella!
Edward chuckled taking my hand in his. "Silly, Bella. If you want us to be, I'm more than willing."
I squeezed his hand. "Then let's. We don't have to hide anymore, Edward. You don't have to hide anymore."
He smiled at me crookedly; my heart skipped a beat. He grabbed me by my waist and pulled me on his lap. "I love you." He murmured in my ear. "As I love you." I murmured back. His lips found my temple as he tightened his grip on me. I sighed leaning my weight on him, wanting this moment never to be over.
Sadly, fate did not agree. I jumped in his lap on hearing his loud alarm fill the room. Alice's head jerked up, she gasped aloud. "What the hell, Edward." She murmured sleepily. "What time is it?"
Edward chuckled. "It's six-thirty, Alice." He replied.
"What? I wake up at seven!" She huffed. "I'm going back to sleep. So wake me up, okay? Please?"
"Sure." Edward replied as she laid back down beside Jasper and snuggled in closer to him.
"I'll go get dressed." I informed, getting to my feet.
"I'll get your sleepover bag." He stood up after me and walked out of his room. Edward got me my bag and I took a quick shower in his room. By the time I got ready, everyone was awake and having breakfast, though Edward still stayed in the room.
"How long did I take?" I asked sheepishly.
"Just around ten to fifteen minutes. Everyone decided to wake up. Alice is still getting ready and so is Rose, but everyone else is downstairs. I couldn't leave you alone." He smiled shyly.
I returned his smile. "You got ready already?" I eyed his new clothes and wet hair.
"Yeah. Emmett took over." We both couldn't help but chuckle at the line. As if it were to be a duty to watch over us. Silly, Edward.
"Shall we?" He asked stretching his hand towards me, gesturing us to go downstairs with the other stretched out toward the door.
"We shall." I said in a movie-like peppy voice, placing my hand in his. Our fingers locked together as we walked down the stairs.
Everyone had breakfast before leaving for school and such. Of course, Emmett was the one to tease Edward and I about us being together now- he'd always been looking forward to doing that. But I loved him; he was the best brother anyone could ever ask for, and of course not to forget Jasper. I already considered them my family. All of them.
We reached Forks High shortly and walked to our first classes. Edward and I had English so we walked together. And of course, all eyes were on us as Edward wrapped his arm around my waist while we walked. Many gawked at us. I hated the attention.
We took our seats when we reached English. But I had to be seated with Jim instead. He'd given me the most disgusting look ever, as if I looked like a dead mutt on the corner of the road, just lying there to rott. I shuddered at the image I imagined whilst I thought that. Disturbing, indeed.
I'd forgotten all about the filming of the project we'd gotten. Whatever happened last night had completely erased my memory of anything that occured so far in my life. It was insane, but special at the same time. As soon as Banner announced us to get together with our partners, without a thought I quickly walked towards Edward. Jim followed us slowly, I could feel his eyes watching me as I walked towards him. I didn't hate him, no, but he was acting so... different today. He wasn't himself. What was with him?
"Do you want to start filming? It's due next week." Edward said as Jim approached us.
"Yeah, we should, I guess." Jim said carelessly. Edward grabbed my hand and led the way to the forest. We stayed near the school, of course, after yesterday there was no way Edward would let me out of his sight. Especially in the forest. Jim followed silently without uttering the word the whole way. Apparently we were filming this for majority of the day, Mr. Banner had asked permission from other teachers for us to be excused at least for today. We would have to film on our own time after tomorrow.
We took out our scripts and began to memorize as many likes as we could. The first scene starred Edward and I; Gabriel and Mark. Jim was in charge of filming the scene. We would alternate every scene, of course. Edward and I sat in the woods as said in the description of the scripts. Acting was not me at all, but this was the biggest project of the year.
"Okay. 1. 2. 3. Action!" Jim yelled, positioning the camera in his hands. He, too, sat on the ground opposing us.
"Why can't you tell me?" I said angrily, as said in the script. It was tough to do that with Edward now that our feelings were out in the open and we weren't foe's any longer.
Edward looked intimidating. "I can't!" He hissed his dialogues. My eyes widened at how real he made the scene look.
"Why not?" I tried to stay in character, but his look was blanking my mind. Silly Edward.
"You just can't know."
"I demand to know, Edward." I huffed. It was a challenge for me to control my laughter and not let it affect my annoyed facial expressions from the script, but Edward acted greatly, it all felt beyond real. This project would be great, I'm sure.
We continued to shoot random scenes till lunch. We'd done pretty good- half of the script was already filmed, though we'd stopped just where the conflict occurred. Almost like a cliffhanger. The three of us walked back to Banner's class to return the equipment. Edward walked to Mr. Banner since he had most of it. That left Jim and I. Awkward. Unwanted. Unnecessary.
"So you and Cullen, huh?" He said with a hint of bitterness in his voice.
"Yeah." I replied carelessly.
"Why him? You hated him until yesterday. What happened now?" He spat.
"It's my personal life, Jim." I ignored his attitude. I know it was hard for him right now, and I didn't want to make a big deal out of it; It'd hurt him more, which would hurt me back. I didn't want that. Not for me, and especially not for him.
"So, what, now you're just going to butt me out of your life, permanently? I asked you out; you reject me. I pull a prank on you; you date Cullen and forget me?" He scoffed.
"I didn't butt you out, Jim!" I argued. This was ridiculous!
"You're doing that right now. I know you going out with Cullen is just something to get back at me, but don't you think that's just fucking crazy? What are you trying to prove, Bella?" He snapped.
I was about to snap back but Edward came in our way. "Get lost, Thompson!" Edward warned.
"Oh, you can stop that little act of yours, you hypocrites!"
"I don't care if anyone believes us or not; but you come anywhere near Bella again, you'll deal with me." The threat was clear in Edward's voice. I heard Jim grunt loudly and the last thing I remembered was Edward's head bumping into mine, and literally pushing me to the floor. Edward fell beside me, growling. I looked up at Jim smirking wildly at us.
"Guys!" Banner yelled. He stood at the door glaring at us angrily. Jim's expression turned confiding. "What is going on?" Banner's eyes flickered from Edward and I towards Jim.
Yep! Had another writers block there. Hope you still liked it though! Thanks for all the support! =)
