Chapter 10!
Oh my god! What did I tell them!? Did I tell them everything?
I could hear the damn beeping machine start to beep faster.
"What's wrong?" Edward asked frantically when it became faster and faster. Dr. Cullen was looking over me.
"What did I tell you?" I was able to whisper.
Edward was stroking my forehead now, "it's ok. It won't happen anymore."
I could feel the tears coming. I didn't want them to come. I had told them everything. Now what am I going to do? I curled up in a ball facing Edward.
"What's gunna happen?" I thought it was too low for him to hear but he answered anyway, "You will stay with us." He told me. I looked up at him. He looked so sad.
"Why are you sad?" I asked him.
"No one should have to go through that." He told me.

I had been staying at the Cullen's place for about 2 weeks now. I meet Edward mother, Esme. She was a lovely lady. She had taken in all of these children and she claimed them as her own.
I had immediately bonded with all of them, except Rosalie. For some reason she just didn't like me.
Alice helped me pick out my clothes every day. Jasper, with his advanced knowledge of the wars, helped me get through the class that I was having the most trouble with. Emmett had taught me how to play his many games, and was like a big teddy bear once you got past all of his muscles. Carlisle and Esme became my parents. And Edward…well I couldn't really say that he was my brother, because in these last 2 weeks, ever since I came home from the hospital, he never left me alone. And I wasn't bothered by it at all. Cuz to tell you the truth I was really starting to like him.
In all the time that I was staying with the Cullen's I noticed something. They all had the same color eyes, even though they weren't related. I was confused by this. Was this a family thing and they all got contacts so they could look like they were related? I also noticed that they never ate! How could you not eat and stay the same weight?!
I was standing in the room that they let me move into. It was next to Edward's so there was a whole wall of glass on one side. I was standing there, looking out the wall of windows, watching the sun go down, and thinking about this lovely family. Oh how I wish I was a part of it.
My thoughts were interrupted when I felt two arms wrap around my waist. I felt his head rest next to mine on my shoulder. I smiled.
"What are you thinking?" he asked me quietly.
"How lovely this family is and how beautiful the sky looks tonight." I told him. I didn't want to keep anything from him. For some reason I knew that if I did he would find out anyway, like he could read my mind or something. He chuckled next to me.
"What?" I asked trying to look at him. I moved so we were chest to chest.
"Nothing is as beautiful as you." He whispered and brought his lips to mine.
***
Ever since that night, Edward and I have been together. I had told him everything about me.
How after me my parents had wanted another child. But unfortunately something went wrong when she had me and couldn't have any more children. They both got upset and turned to alcohol for comfort. I was 7 when this started. They would come home drunk, angrier than anything. I never thought they would come after me, until that one night.
They both came home drunk. I was in my room reading for school. My dad came storming up the stairs yelling about something, but I couldn't make sense of it. My door flew open and there stood my dad. Angrier than hell. I came over to me and started to hit me, saying things like, "why did you have to do that to us?" and "you shouldn't have been born."
Ever since that night, about 10 years ago, they came home that way. I learned to have about 10 locks on my door so they couldn't get in.
The whole time telling Edward the story, he didn't say a word, but I could tell he was angry.
I told him I didn't want to go back to my house. He didn't blame me and said that I could stay with his family for as long as I wanted.
***
We walked into school together hand in hand. Sean, Squirl and Oreo still didn't know why I hadn't gone back to my house. I knew I was going to have to tell them soon but I just didn't want to. If they asked I would tell.
That's what I kept telling myself.
I could tell by staying in the Cullen's house that I was starting to change. I was talking again to everyone, even friends that I hadn't talked to in years. My school work was becoming better and better each day.
But there were still those questions in the back of my mind:
Why did none of the Cullen's eat?
Why was I stuck at school on sunny days when they all said they had some type of appointment?
Why were their eyes the same?
I never got the chance to tell Edward. But I knew I was going to ask him soon, if not tonight. I knew everyone was going somewhere but him.
Tonight was the night.
