I ran to her house, which would normally be about a 15 min drive from my own. Another perk of being a vampire, we were incredibly fast, and personally I was even faster, I was the fastest in my family and the fastest of any vampires that I had been acquainted with. Within a few minutes I was standing in front of her house starring up at her window. I jumped up into the tree just outside her window. It took me a minute but I finally got the moxy to look into her window. I peered in but all I could see was a rocking chair, a computer, closet, and the foot of her bed. I must be at the opposite end of her room. I slid the window open quickly. It whined and protested as I moved it. I would have to bring some oil for the next time I would visit. Look, now I was already planning on coming back, this was a bad idea. I stepped into her room and my breath caught. It smelled so powerful. I didn't know if I would be able to control myself, it was almost unbearable. With my intentions wavering I glanced over to see the sleeping beauty. She lie there still and calm, as if she was dead, but the colour still filled her cheeks and her lips were full and a lovely shade of pink. Suddenly the thought of her cheeks being pale and her lips blue was enough to take me off my feet. She could never die, not as long as I was with her. I wouldn't be able to live through it. Then I felt it; the smell that had been burning my throat did not let up but instead gave me a different feeling. It was no longer a sent accompanied by thirst, but a lure that pulled my world to hers. Without thinking I took a step toward her but stopped briskly.
"Edward." She mumbled in her dream. It made my heart melt and the sleeping birds sing. It was if nothing in my world mattered but her anymore, and it didn't bother me one bit. It was no longer hard to accept, I needed her, I loved her, and I would love her forever. Suddenly she sat up straight and starred right at me. My heart stopped and I ran toward the closet the second her eyelids closed to blink away the sleep. She looked confused and annoyed as she starred at where I had once stood.
"Ugh, not again!" she exclaimed hitting the bed with her fists. She was so cute when she was frustrated. The way her brow pulled together; disappointment? No, I was just flattering myself.
"I don't even know you!" she screamed to no one. Little did she know that it was not to no one. That I was there, I was the one she had been yelling at, and I did indeed hear her. Her words broke my cold hear. Made me want to run to her and hold her, to tell her every detail of both of my lives. I didn't want to be a stranger to her; I wanted her to know me, just as much as I wanted to know her. She looked over at her clock frustrated. It was 5:00am. She stood up and stretched yawning as she walked over to her window to close it. She shivered as the wind blew through and caressed her skin. Oh how I wished just for that one moment that I could have been the wind, to be able to caress her, to touch her. She left the room and I heard a shower turn on just down the hall. A part of me wanted to stay, wanted to watch her forever. However just as she needed to get ready for school so did I. I looked down at myself to see my cloths dirty from the eager run here, and I knew that my hair was a mess. Not like it was normally in place, it wasn't really my style. I opened her closet door and ran to her window, then opened the window and vanished into the early dawns sky. I ran into my room through the door I had that opened out to the porch that surrounded the outside of my room. Alice was sitting on my couch waiting for me.
"Have fun Eddie?" she asked in her all too annoying sense of 'humour'. I rolled my eyes at her as I opened my closet and walked in. usually I would have chewed her out for calling me anything but my name, however I was in too good of a mood today. In about an hour or so I would see her again, and knowing that truth I couldn't come down from cloud nine.
"Want me to introduce the two of you?" Alice asked trying to be helpful. That pulled me down in a second flat.
"No! Don't say anything to her!" I freaked as I whipped around to face her. I was inches from her face when suddenly my whole family was in my room. I was quickly facing jaspers chest instead of Alice's face while my temper cooled.
"You can't have that temper around a human, Edward. You will kill her." Rosalie sneered at me as I turned away from jaspers glair. Yes he was my brother and yes we both loved and respected one another; however when something or someone threatened Alice that was all that mattered. Emmett elbowed his wife while Esme and Carlisle both shared warning glances at her.
"Rosalie, even your heartless remarks cant effect me today." Was all I said as I disappeared into my closet once more. Once I had picked what I was going to wear that day I ran into the bathroom to have a quick shower. Usually the bathroom was just for show purpose considering our bodies don't function like normal peoples do. Well I guess that would make sense considering we weren't even people. However the shower did come in handy on the occasion that we would get dirty.
It was 10 to 7 when I was finally headed out to my car. I had changed my outfit about 5 times this morning and organized and reorganized my music choices for the car today. We were all about to hop into my Volvo when I suddenly had a better idea.
"Actually, you guys take my car today." I said looking over at Alice who had already taken the keys out of my hand and was sitting in the drivers seat. I walked back into the house to see my father on his way out as well.
"Carlisle, would you mind switching cars with me for the day?" I asked curiously. I had my 'occasion' car that anyone in the family would beg me to allow them to drive. I was willing to allow my father to drive that car in return to drive his Mercedes. I would have taken my own amazing car but it was too inconspicuous to drive to school in, even though I was looking for the extra attention.
"Of course son, however I don't really believe the car you drive will really matter to her." He said patting my shoulder as he walked by me. I took his key off the rack and got in the car. I weaved through the little traffic that would take me into town; I was at school in about five minutes arriving at the exact same time as Damien and Bella. They were both standing beside his car talking, however I could see that there was something else on her mind. She was looking over at my family who were all standing around my Volvo. She searched every face and her eyes lingered waiting to see me emerge from the car later than the rest of them. I pulled into the parking space my family had been saving for me, not like anyone ever parked beside us. I looked around to see everyone's eyes on me. That didn't matter. It was her attention I was looking for. I looked into my rear mirror to see her and Damien both starring at my car wide eyed and drooling in Damien's case. Today I had chosen black jeans and a cream turtleneck to wear. This outfit won over the others because the sweater fit snugly, contouring all of my curves, and my jeans… well they looked my butt look good (says Alice) witch would just be an added bonus. I stepped out of my car locking it behind my back as I walked over to Alice.
"The newbie tries to hard." Emmett whispered to Jasper glancing at me making sure I could hear. Jasper started to laugh just as I reached them. Alice and Rosalie joined in the laughter as I gave Emmett a good kidney shot. The family broke out in howls of laughter (while keeping low key of course) as Emmett very obviously pretended it hurt. We were all joking and laughing when the bell finally rang for school to start.
"I won't forget that shot." Emmett warned as he rushed past me wrapping his arm around Rosalie. I glanced over to see Bella starring after me while Angela tried to grab her attention. I looked away again just in time to add a smart comment to something Alice had said. She jumped on my back making me 'stumble' for balance.
