Again, i dont own twilight
Chapter 10.
I came home from fallowing Bella. I know, it sounded wrong and stuff but… I just feel so protective over her. Sometimes, I watch her sleep. She looks so peaceful. Well, usually she does. The other night, I was at her house…watching her like normal – and she kept stirring so I ran downstairs, just in case if she woke up. But she came downstairs and I had to leave there before she saw me, so I started heading for the door but the floor creaked and she spun around like a dumbass (and she fell)… anyways, she's really clumsy. But I love her. And she loves me; she says that in her sleep all the time. Once I got inside the house, Alice looked at me straight in the face. She said "Bella Swan is going to jump off a cliff." with fear in her eyes. But I couldn't let Bella do that! Not to herself, not to her family and friends, and me. I loved her. There was just something about that girl from the day we met at her house.
"I'd like to formally introduce myself." I smiled. "I'm Edward Cullen." I said, trying to sound as human as possible.
"Hi..." she croaked. She blushed. "It's er... very nice to meet you." She said as we looked into each other's eyes. Her eyes were a beautiful dark chocolate brown. "Um... would you excuse me?" she ducked out of the situation and ran off.
I loved her ever since then. I know that sounds insane, but it's true. You can't help it once it happens. Alice was still staring at me. "Edward, you have to do something!" She said shaking me by my shoulders.
"What am I supposed to do?" I held on to her elbows. Jasper gave me a look.
"I don't know…" He began sarcastically. "Maybe you could use your super powers to run extremely fast over to the girl and pick her up before she makes the mistake?" He blinked.
"Yeah," Emmett agreed. "Or you could stalk her again by reading her mind." I stared blankly at him.
"Emmett, I can't read her mind."
"What the hell? Why not?!" He was getting jealous. "You can read everybody else's." He raised his hands.
"I don't know." I said calmly.
"Who cares Edward?" Rosalie came down over the stairs. "You're a vampire, you can save her some how. Get out of the god damn house and rescue the poor girl!" She pointed towards the door.
"Yeah," Emmett agreed. "And then maybe you'll stop talking about her and actually talk to her!"
"You can shut up." I said as I pointed at his face and ran out the door. I decided I'd run. The car wouldn't be fast enough! I tied my laces tighter and took off. I knew I had to stop her. I reached LaPush in little over a minute. But I never got winded. Ever since Carlisle turned me back in 1918, I felt like a super hero – even though I was the villain.
I found the cliff Alice was talking about and jumped up onto the side. Still going about 100 miles an hour. I climbed up the side of the rocks. It would take to long to take the path way. And then I heard her heart. It was pumping really fast. I could hear her sharp breaths. She was really going to do this. I saw her then. She was tossing glass over the side of the mountain. (Who knows why?) Then – once the sun set, she climbed to her feet. Her toes were dangling over the edge. I thought she was going to do it then! But she backed up slowly, just until she reached the other side of the flat surface. I saw her counting. One, two, three, four…she mouthed as she stumbled backwards. I could smell the alcohol from where I was standing. She then nodded to herself and starting running back to the place she was sitting earlier. I stood then and got ready to move. We were both running, its just she looked so much slower that I did. I smashed into her fragile body, praying not to hurt her in any way. She was so intoxicated that she thought she was falling off the side of the cliff. I saw her lips move. She smiled and yelled "I love you Edward!" I stopped abruptly. This girl, who I barely knew just proclaimed that she loved me? I looked at her face. She was smiling so big, so bright! This woman actually believed that she loved me. And the truth was, I love her too. I slowed and took the path down the hill. Once we got to the bottom she started to wonder. "What the hell? Who is holding me? I just jumped off a cliff! Is this heaven?" she looked around in disbelief and when her eyes finally focused, she was able to see me. She gasped.
I love you too. So please, never do that again. Please, for me… sleep and sober up. Be safe,
Edward
I scribbled on a napkin and left in on the seat for her. I laid her in the backseat of the car so she could sleep and closed the door gently. I turned and ran away. I could feel her eyes on my back as I ran.
