§Bella POV§
I was having the strangest dream. It was like I was in this game and I had to get coins and beat up mike -which of course, made the game even cooler. I don't know were my destination was or why I was even collecting coins, but somehow I ended up in this big fire world. And there he was, Mike Newton. Only this time he was HUGE!
He was smirking down at me and he leaned all the way down to press his enormous lips to, well me. I jumped up with amazing speed and punched him in the stomach yelling "DIE YOU BASTARD!"
And he did. He fell over with an evil smirk on his face. I hopped over his dead body and ran threw the school doors.
Edward was talking with the teacher and I came up behind him. He was holding a green moldy cheese in his hand, bringing it up to his mouth.
"DON'T EAT THE CHEESE!" I yelled at him, kicking the cheese out of his hand. He smiled gratefully at me and then kissed me. In front of the whole school. Suddenly, we were in the gym.
When we broke apart he looked at me with pure love.
"Edward…I love you." The whole robot school said a curse of 'Aw' And then they melted from crying.
"I love you too, Bella." He whispered. He leaned in for another kiss, and so did I. Just then I woke up with pain in my side.
I groaned out loud. Why did I have to wake up from the best dream I had EVER had in my entire life?! That was just not fair!
I was about to get up, but something was holding me down. I looked down and saw too strong pale arms holding me. One around my waist and the other two holding my wrist. I looked behind me and saw that Edward was sleeping holding me.
Well, as long as he was here, sleeping, holding me….I snuggled up to him, inhaling his sweet, delicious smell.
"Did you have a good dream." An amused voice whispered in my ear. I jumped a little, startled. Wasn't he sleeping?
"The best dream I have ever had." I sighed dreamily. I felt him shake and I turned around in his arms, placing my hands at his chest. He was laughing at me?
"You do know that you…um….well….talk in your sleep?" He asked with a chuckle. I could feel my face fall as it dawned on me. He heard me say it. He heard me say that I loved him, AND I just admitted that it was the best dream I had ever had. Stupid, stupid, stupid. Why do I always open my mouth before I say something?! Is it that hard for me to think?!
"What did you hear?" I asked innocently. More like a devil placing a halo on her head trying to hide her horns.
"Well, it was 'die you bastard'--" Good, that I can explain."--Don't eat the cheese--" Again, explainable."---And….um….I--I love you Edward." I buried my head in his chest, blushing with all the blood in my body. I was sure the rest of me was white from all the blushing.
"I--I--I don't know what your talking about." It sounded lame, even to my own ears.
"Riiiiiiight." He dragged it out in disbelief. He took my face in his hands and made me look up at him. He was not smiling, but he wasn't mad or annoyed ether. He looked like he was debating something, like one part of him said "do it, do it, do it, do it." While the other part was more like. "Don't be an idiot, don't you dare do that! I'll kill you! I'll kill you with my bare hands!" I really hoped he was going to go with the first one.
Slowly he leaned in and kissed me, softly. I closed my eyes and kissed him back. Just when I was about to attack him with a deeper kiss, someone cleared their throat and we jumped apart.
Emmett and Jasper were leaning in the doorway, causally looking at us, smirking and examining there nails.
"That probably isn't the best plays getting caught kissing now is it?" Emmett smirked at us. I rolled my eyes and blushed from the embarrassing position we were in. Our legs were tangled, under the sheets, and he was holding me close to him. But we did have our clothes on! So they couldn't say anything about that.
"Is there something you wanted?" I asked with a forced smile, not trying to hide it. They just snickered and Emmett dragged something out of his pocket. He threw it at me and I caught it in my hand.
"Carlisle said that if you swim it would help you get in shape again. You only have one lung that works fine. You need to build up the other one too. So Alice told us to give you that bikini so you could go out and swim in the pool." I looked at the garment in my hands and it was a black bikini with Lenore the cute little dead girl on it. Didn't know that they even existed…
I blushed and banged my head in the pillow.
"Get out Emmett, before I tell them what you did three weeks ago." I threatened. I heard him run down the stairs like he had Satan on his heels.
"You too Jasper, or I swear I'll tell the whole school what you WANTED Alice do to you." He was running behind Emmett in seconds.
"So, what did they do?" Edward asked curiously. Should I tell him? It was Edward soooooo…. It didn't matter, maybe he could use it to his advantage like I did just now.
"Well, Emmett went to the office during lunch and copied pictures of his butt. Then he was suppose to send it home, but he accidentally sent it to old Miss. Rellies, and she died of hart attach opening the mail. She lived in Port Angeles and was walking down the street when it happened. After that, the copies went flying down the road into a copy-shop and the guy working there copied 100 of them and sent them as flyers all over town. Saying 'Emmett Cullen's Butt was here.' on the top."
"Did that really happen?" He didn't look like he believed it.
"No, I just made that up. I honestly do not know why he ran out of the room like that. I just made something up so he would leave, I never thought he did anything three weeks ago. Just lucky, I guess."
"And Jasper?" He prompted.
"Well, I actually do know something embarrassing about him, Alice told me. He wanted her to give him a facial mask and pluck his eyebrows. He even shaved under his arms!" Is it just me, or is that WAY girly?(AN: A guy in my grade did that, and he is dating a girl...Ew.)
"He did that!" Edward was laughing uncontrollably, almost falling out of bed in the process. I grabbed the bikini and when into the bathroom.
My face was flushed and my hair was one big mess. I brushed through it with the brush that was laying on the counter. It looked better, but not quite. I am just swimming anyway. I thought to myself.
I put on the bikini as fast as I could. Only wincing a couple of times. I grabbed a towel and put it around myself. Walking out, I saw that Edward was sitting on the bed, waiting for me.
"Aren't you swimming with me?" I asked a little disappointed. He smirked at me and shook his head no. I rolled my eyes and walked past him out to the pool. When I got there I was panting heavily like I had just run a marathon. I just walked down the stairs!
(AN: I know this because when I was in the hospital with lung problems I walked down to the cafeteria, I was so exhausted I almost passed out. AGAIN!)
Edward came up behind me and looked at me with concern in his eyes. I threw the towel away and jumped into the water, splashing water at him. He sat down in a chair and watched me swim around.
"So, when do you want to get your stuff? If you do not wish to see him, Jasper, Emmett and I could go get your stuff for you."
"No, its okay. I have some stuff I don't want you or your brothers seeing. And when I can walk up and down the stairs without panting like my life depended on it, I'll go get my stuff."
"I really don't feel comfortable with you going to him alone."
"I didn't say I didn't want help, just not you guys doing all the work." I had stopped swimming and was hanging on the side of the pool, looking up at the god sitting before me. How could someone be so beautiful? And the rest of his family was too, but they were all adopted. Esme and Carlisle are so young, how could they possibly have adopted five kids. Teenagers at that.
"What are you thinking?" Edward questioned me.
"Esme and Carlisle. Don't you think it's a little unfair? They don't get a chance to be in their twenties, where they're suppose to be out parting and coming home drunk every weekend. Instead they're responsible adults with jobs and five kids. It's a pretty tough job." Edward looked a little taken aback with what I said. His eyes started dancing with amusement and he looked mischievously down at me.
He jumped over my head into the pool, with all his clothes on. I was suddenly turned around and he was holding me in his arms.
"Is that what your going to do when your twenty? Get drunk every chance you get?"
"Why grow up as fast as you can when your only staying a kid for a few years. I would like to not be responsible before I'm thirty. So yes, I would get drunk every chance I get as a twenty year old. As fun as it sounds digging your hands through a cut up human to drag out a kidney, I'd rather pass. So, what about you? What do you want to do in your twenties?"
"I think I am going to protect you from your drunk self." He teased me. I hit his arm playfully and mock scowled. He laughed and it was like the best music you could hear.
"Why is your skin so hard?" It was like it was made out of rocks, or marble. OH, maybe he was a marble man! He couldn't possibly be human. He tensed and his eyes got black.
"And your eyes, they just got black. That just isn't human….Are you a marble man?"
"Marble man? What the hell is a marble man?" I looked at him like he had just asked if a gym sock smelled good.
"A man, made out of marble. I honestly thought you were smarter than that. It really isn't so hard to figure out." I stated dryly. He squirmed a little, like he was uncomfortable.
"So, what's up with your eyes then? I just saw them turn black."
"No you didn't." He stated. Did I look that stupid?
"Yes I did."
"No, you did not."
"Did too!"
"You did not see my eyes change color because that is not possible."
"I know what I saw, and I saw your eyes change color."
"Maybe you got something in your eye?"
"Dammit Edward, I know what I saw! Are you calling me a liar?!"
"No, I'm calling you blind." He said calmly. Oh, the nerve!
"Well, I am not blind I can see perfectly well. And guess what?! I know your not human! And I couldn't care less! The fact that you guys try to hide it from me is really starting to get on my nerves. And that's not a good thing since I can't smoke anymore! So you can take that blind comment and shove it up your---" I didn't get to finish my sentence because he started to kiss me again. I was surprised to say at the least, but I kissed him back anyway, snaking both my arms around his neck.
"You talk way to much for your own good." He gasped when we broke apart. I took a fist full of his hair and crashed his lips back on mine.
"Aw! Look at that! Isn't that the cutest thing you've ever seen?!" Alice squealed. I let my knees go under me and Edward did the same, so now we were kissing underwater instead.
I still didn't know what they were. But, it didn't matter to me. They were friends, and someone more then friends--Edward---Like the family I never had.
We broke apart and we came up to breath. His whole family were there looking at us. I blushed and hid my head in Edwards chest. He didn't blush but he hid his face in my hair.
"Jasper, Emmett, one word and I swear I'll tell on you. Not just to the others, but to everyone at school too." I looked up and they gulped, shutting there mouths in the process.
"The reason why we came out was because there is a Jessica Stanly, and a Lauren Mallory at the door. They wanted to speak to you."
I groaned out loud and they chuckled at me. Not fair. They were not the one who had to speak to Miss chatty and Princess- I-want-it-and-I-want-it-now-or-else-I'll-start-screaming.
Edward lifted me out of the pool like I didn't weigh a thing.
"See, that is not human." I winked. His face drooped and he looked at his family. They were tense and eyed me suspiciously.
"Relax, I'm not telling. I don't know what you are, but its not human." I started walking to the house, leaving the nonhuman people behind.
"Like, we heard what you did to Mike. Like, its so not cool." Jessica started when I got there. They looked me up and down and when I looked down I was only wearing a bikini. Oh well, like they could do anything about it.
"I don't really...care." I said in a bored tone, that hinted to 'GET THE HELL AWAY!' But, they were oblivious.
"You better watch out Swan. We are so goanna get you for what you did to him." Lauren threatened. I rose an eyebrow at her, and then I got mad. There really wasn't a reason for getting mad. Except not getting a smoke.
"You want a piece of me?!" I asked, swinging my little fist up in the air.
"Like, don't get all bitchy on us. Like, that's so totally stupid." Jessica said.
"Do you really think you're in the position to talk about stupid?!" I asked threw clashed teeth. I had to cross my arms around my chest so I couldn't hit them. She cocked her head to the side, like she didn't get it. No shocker there.
"Don't you dare talk to her like that you hobo!" Lauren yelled at me. I lounged myself on her ready to attack. Suddenly two huge arms caught me in mid-air and I got dragged back.
"Let me go! I'm goanna beat the crap out of you, you little plastic face! Come here! I'll show you not to mess with me!" I yelled at a smirking Lauren and a frightened Jessica. They walked over to the car and drove away.
I turned around in Emmett's arms and glared at him with all the hate I could muster.
"Why did you hold me back?! I so could of taken her! She could have had a broken nose right now! And you let her go! Oh, I'll get her. I'll get the little plastic faced Barbie doll with ugly teeth. I'll rip her to shreds and then I'll burn the rest of her, lay the ashes on her parents steps and then I don't know what I'll do but I'll do something!" I felt a wave of calm wash in over me and I eyed Jasper. The rest of the family noticed but pretended not to.
"Why do you care so much about what they say? And I don't doubt that you could of taken her. I know you could. But, you don't need any more trouble." Emmett asked amused.
"I don't care about what they said! I don't know why I blew up like that! I just really want a smoke, anything! English man, please. Give me my cigarettes back! Just one. Pretty pretty please." I gave him my best puppy dog eye look. It almost worked, but he looked away, shaking his head no.
"Alice, give Bella some gum." Carlisle said quietly.
"Breakfast is ready dear. Come eat." Esme said kindly. I nodded and followed her into the kitchen. Edward and Alice came too. The rest of them went and did god knows what.
So, I'll see you guys in a week. But, with my luck, I'll probably end up braking my arm and going to the hospital. Good thing i have a laptop, so i can take it with me!
Review me! I will not be able to answer right away, because I'm leaving in the morning and i won't have time to look at the Review's right away ( That does NOT mean i do not want them, cuz i do!)
I love you!!!!
