*^*^The Last Night^*^*
Slow it down, Angie come back to bed
Rest your arms, and rest your legs
And when she stood she stood tall
She'll make a fool of you all
Don't ask for cigarettes
She ain't got nothin left for you
I never, she never, we never looked back
That wasn't what we were good at
And when it came to love
We were not good enough
Slow it down, Angie come back to bed
Rest your arms, and rest your legs
Don't you frown when you're feelin like that
Only love can dig you out of this
-Slow It Down, The Lumineers

"Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, and fuck you, too." I mumbled as I read through my e-mails, deleting each spam letter that showed me how to enlarge my non-existant penis.
"Is that porn?" Edward questioned, opening the door from the bathroom, steam rushing to greet the cold air in my room. His hair was a wet dripping mess and he was only clothed in blue flannel bottoms. Water droplets rested on his bare shoulders as they dropped from his now dark hair.
"No, just spam." I mumbled, my cheeks red as I quickly deleted any other spam, shaking myself from my thoughts.
"White is see-through when it's wet." Edward stated triumphantly while I swiveled my chair around, my eyebrows drawn in confusion.
"Um, yeah, I know?" I questioned him. He glanced down at my shirt and then back to me, smirking while his eyes sparkled mischeviously.
"I really don't think you do, Miss Blue And Green Striped Bra." He quipped as I looked down. My long wet hair had stained my white long-sleeved waffle knit top.
"Mother trucker." I growled as Edward began howling with laughter. I blushed as a brilliant idea came to me.
I stripped off my shirt, causing Edward to stop in mid-howl. He stared at my chest while I smirked. Men were so easy sometimes.
"Um, yeah, uh, mhm." Edward mumbled and groaned, flopping down onto the bed as I begun laughing my ass off.
"Payback's a bitch." I retorted and grabbed a shirt.

"Can I come visit?" The stern female voice asked as I held up the old house phone up to my ear and shushed Edward as he came into the room.
"I don't think I'm ready for that yet." I answered quietly, avoiding Edward's searching eyes as I continued my conversation.
"Isabella, we miss you. Michael wants to see you." Mrs. Newton pleaded as I shuddered and resisted a snort of disbelief. Her husband just wanted to see me so he could harrass me with innapropriate comments and try to grab my ass.
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Newton, I'm trying to adjust." I mumbled as Edward stalked towards me. I glanced up with wide eyes, knowing what was about to happen as he clicked the speaker button, causing Mrs. Newton's nasally voice to fill the kitchen.
"Isabella," The one word was filled with so much venom that I barely managed not to wince. "I am not 'Mrs. Newton'. I am, for all intents and purposes, your new mother. I hope that you realize all that we have given up to take care of you and keep your special needs met. We have asked nothing in return of you except that you be a gracious daughter and do everything we ask of you, which includes referring to us with respect and using our proper titles."
"Yeah, well, you and your husband can go fuck yourselves." Edward grolwed and slammed the phone down with a satisfying thunk, grabbed my upper arms, and crushed my minute body to his. I wrapped my arms around his neck as his arms squeezed my shoulders tightly, as if he were afraid that I would disappear. I kinda was afraid that I'd disappear, too.
I was afraid that I'd lose myself in the rabbit hole of depression. I was afraid that I'd lose this feeling of comfort and caring. I was afraid that I'd lose that I'd lose this scrap of normalcy. I was afraid I'd lose my sanity. I was afraid I'd lose everything.
"I'm afraid to lose you." Edward mumbled into my hair quietly as my arms tightened around him.
"I'm not afraid. I'm terrified." I replied and squeezed him tighter until the space between us was non-existant.
So far, I hadn't questioned anything with Edward. We had known each other for less than twenty-four hours, yet we were utterly comfortable around each other. Normal people wouldn't understand because we were not normal. What we had so far did not resemble anything normal. Normal people had doubts, but I promised myself that I would never doubt anything that involved Edward.
