Chapter 10

Disclaimer: I do not own twilight or any of its characters.

Sorry guys that I didn't update the last chapter sooner. I just had a whole lot going on, work wise that is. Because of that I decided to update chp. 10 sooner than I had planned. I just got sick so hopefully I get to stay home from school and work on the next chapter. Woo :D

"What's wrong Bella?" he asked as he saw my face.

"Do you remember the vampire that attacked Edward?" he nodded and I kept going.

"After I left, I went to where the attack took place to see if I could track him down. I did, it seemed like he had tried to lose me by the way he had left. Anyways I eventually found his scent again and there was this clearing. It was small but enough to feed off of someone. There seemed to be a struggle since there was blood everywhere. The blood couldn't have been more than a couple hours old. I had the feeling that something is going on. I don't know why or how but this is not normal. I mean it is but it just seems too thought out. The man that attacked Edward seemed to know what he was doing except when he fought me. As if someone had said do this and this. I don't know maybe I'm just being paranoid."

"No Bella, you may have a point. I'll ask Emmett and Jasper to check it out with me right now. We're going to need your help to get there." I nodded and waited as he called Jasper and Emmett. I was still trying to figure out why this seemed so familiar. Once Emmett and Jasper both agreed to go, we left. We all got into Carlisle's car and drove down to the alley. Before long we were at the small clearing.

"This is-" I began, "human blood." Carlisle said cutting me off.

"Yes." I said. They all looked around and I stood there trying to still figure out why this seemed so familiar. I sighed and let my mind wander. Of course the only thing it did wander to was Edward. It was already past 9 in the morning, I had to get back before he woke up.

"I got to go. I'll see you guys tonight." I ran out but not before I heard what Jasper said.

"I was starting to think that she was gay." I pushed his words to the back of my mind as I got closer to Edward's house. I sneaked into his room and just sat there listening to my I-pod. Not long after I showed up, he rolled over and yawned. A loud yell came from him as he leaned on his broken arm.

"You okay?" I said and he turned around so fast that he fell of the bed. Before he could hit the floor he was in my arms. I set him down on the bed and went back to were I was sitting. He looked at me almost as if he didn't believe I was there.

"What are you doing here?" he asked.

"Well, you said that last night had probably been a dream. So I decided to surprise you in the morning to show you that in fact it was not a dream."

"Did you even sleep?" he asked me.

"I wish. Vampires don't sleep." I said.

"So did you dream about me?" I asked smiling up at him through my eyelashes.

"You heard that?" he asked clearly embarrassed.

"I told you, I hear everything. So are you going to answer my question?"

"Yes."

"Yes what?"

"Yes to both." He said. I couldn't help it as a smile broke out across my face.

"So where you here all night?" he asked.

"No, I had some things to take care of. I actually just got back about a half hour ago." He looked down at himself and grabbed his blanket to cover himself up. "Would you mind if I go, you know change and stuff?" he asked.

"No, go ahead. I'll be in the living room when you're finished." I walked out of the room and into the living room. I noticed that there were pictures of a small boy that I was guessing was Edward. The pictures ranged from a couple months old to now when he was 17. I smiled imagining Edward as a toddler running around. I heard Edward coming down the hall. I quickly turned from the fire place and sat on the couch. He came in, in baggy pants and a black shirt. It made me laugh once I had read what it said. He looked at me with his eye brows burrowed and said what.

"I'm bad at names. Can I just call you dumbass? Nice." He smiled at me and walked towards the kitchen.

"Do you want something to eat?"

"No, I'm full." I said.

"Hmm, grizzly bears perhaps?"

"…no." I couldn't believe that he was actually okay with this, with me and my eating habits. It seemed unrealistic to me.

"I better go. I need to get back home." I said getting up from the couch and turning towards the window.

"What are you going to do at home?" he said with his back turned to me.

"Nothing, just try to pass the time. When you're a vampire that's pretty much all you can do.

"Well, do you…maybe want to hang out today?"

"Yeah I would love to but remember you are grounded and I'm not going to get you into more trouble."

"Who's going to know?"

"I'll see you on Monday." I said and headed for the window.

"Wait." I turned around so quickly that Edward stood there for about a half a second. "Um I was wondering when I get off my grounding if you maybe wanted to go out?"

"Let's leave that question for later." Before he could argue I crawled out the window and ran towards home.

That weekend felt like the longest weekend of my life. Rosalie and Alice kept making fun off me every time I spaced out. They would start to make kissing faces and start making a high pitched voice and saying, "oh Edward I love you." After about the 100th time this happened it was getting old. Thankfully Monday came a little sooner than I thought it would.
