Ok, first I wanna say, sorry for the updates going from daily to maybe daily, but kind off. Things are getting a little more complicated for me, and the writing is becoming tougher, but I promise I'll work it out soon; It's just a little bump in the road (=
But thank you for the great reviews and support, you guys are amazing!
Anywhoooo, I don't own any Twilight characters, I just make them sneak off to Chicago! (=
Chapter 11 .. Bella
"Bella? Bella time to get up, we have to go." I heard Edwards voice, but I was too tired to move. I hadn't gotten any sleep last night. I was afraid if I fell asleep at home I would sleep right through Edwards flight, and I wasn't gonna let that happen. I was going to Chicago with him. I made a promise and I wasn't gonna let Charlie's rotten attitude force me to break it.
I rolled over, and put the white pillow over my head, hoping he'd shut up for another couple minutes. Did I mention I'm not a morning person?
"Come on Bella, I don't think you wanna go to the airport in your pajamas." I could feel him sitting on the edge of the bed and I groaned into the mattress.
"Why not!" I was planning on getting up, but giving him a hard time was so much more fun.
All of a sudden I felt his two hands spin me around so I was on my back and he lifted me up and over his shoulder. "Edward!" I tried fighting it, but I knew it was no use so I just gave up and relaxed as he left the room and headed down the hallway.
"Ya know Edward, one day you're gonna get tired of doing this and just leave me be." He chucked and started walking down the first flight of stairs leading from the third floor to the second.
"Never Bella." He reached the bottom of the stairs and walked up to what I can only assume as Alice's door.
"NO Edward! Not Alice, it's too early for this! OK, OK, OK I give in, I'll go get ready! Now put. me. down!" That's when I started fighting again. If Alice got a hold of me, it would be hair, make up, the whole nine yards! It was way too early to play 'dress up Bella'!
"Bella! Goodmorning. Wait! What is she doing here?" I heard Alice's voice immediately after the door opened.
"Bella decided to pull one over on Charlie and come with me after all, but I need you to get her ready quickly so we can get out of here before Charlie wakes up. OK?" Edward walked in the door, and set me down in Alice's vanity chair. I didn't even notice he had clothes in his hand, but he turned around and handed them to Alice, obviously what I was gonna wear today. "And these are her clothes. I know it's just a t shirt and jeans, but we don't have time for a makeover, OK Alice?"
Alice nodded and took the clothes, pushing Edward out the door, "Half hour Edward." She shut the door and came back over to me, taking my hand and dragging me to the bathroom. She started the shower and put my clothes on the edge of the sink.
"OK, take a quick shower. Try not to take too long Bella, I only have half an hour." She smiled, and skipped out the door. Shutting it behind her.
After about 10 minutes I figured I'd tortured Alice enough and shut the water off, climbed out, dryed off, and got dressed in the clothes Edward picked out. I walked out of the bathroom and was instantly grabbed by Alice, and pushed back into the vanity chair. She grabbed a round brush off the vanity and a blow dryer and started on my hair.
"Ow Alice, jeez be easy." In her haste I don't think she was too worried about a little pain.
"Sorry Bella, but Edward didn't give me much time, and I have to make you cute for Chicago." She always took any opportunity she had to dress me and make me look up to 'Alice standard'. Junior prom she took 3 hours, and I didn't even wanna go!
Knock Knock
Thank god. Please be Edward!
"Come in Edward!" Alice put the blow dryer down and picked up a small thing of eye shadow, quickly sweeping a light brown over my eyelids and then she stood back and admired her quick work.
"Ohh Bella, you look so cute!" Alice squealed, and I looked over at Edward standing by the door.
"Beautiful Alice." Alice turned around to look at Edward, "She looks beautiful, that's better than cute." He was smiling, and Alice nodded and turned back around handing me a small cosmetic bag.
"I packed you a couple things, since I know you wouldn't have packed your own makeup." She shoved the bag and me and grabbed my hand, dragging me over to Edward. "OK, you can have her now. Have a great trip." She gave us both hugs and we turned out the door to head downstairs.
In the kitchen we said goodbye to Esme, which was rather questioned by my being there, but didn't looked too shocked.
"Make sure you say goodbye to your father. And Bella, if Charlie calls?" She didn't look pleased that she might be asked to lie to my father. Esme hated lying and was fairly bad at it.
"Mom, please don't say anything. I'll take good care of Bella. You don't have to worry. Just tell him she's with me." Edward squeezed my hand. "We'll take care of it when we get home." She smiled a little and nodded. I didn't expect Esme to lie to my father, and I'd never ask her to. I'd face him later.
We went down the hall to Carlisles office and said our goodbyes there. He didn't even question me, he just gave me a hug and wished us well.
All the way to the airport I was anxious. I was worried Charlie would call at any time and I'd be caught before I even got there. I knew he'd catch me eventually, but I wanted to at least be out of Forks before he did. It's not like this was my first time sneaking out, but it is my first time sneaking out of the state!
Before I knew it the car was coming to a stop and Edward was getting out. He came around to my side and opened the door while I gathered my purse and stuffed my phone in my pocket.
"Ready Bella?" I nodded and got out of the car. He grabbed our bag and we hurried into the airport. Everything went pretty quick after that, and we only had to sit at the gate for 15 minutes before we were able to board the plane. I turned my phone off and shoved in it my purse, then put it on the floor under my seat. If Charlie called I think I'd rather my phone be off and away.
"Nervous Bella?" I looked up at Edward sitting next to me and nodded. "Charlie or flying?"
"Both." I loved flying, but the take off scared the crap out of me.
"Why don't you try and get some sleep. I know you didn't sleep a lot last night, so sleep now. We'll be there before you know it." I nodded and laid my head against the window. I was just about to drift off to sleep when I felt the plane jerk and start down the runway. I squeezed my eyes shut and gripped the hem of my shirt tight. As the plane turned around and started picking up speed I felt Edwards warm hand on mine, making me stop fidgeting. He put his hand on the side of my face and gently pulled my head onto his shoulder and told me to relax.
It helped a lot and I felt better at once. I don't know how Edward did it, but I always felt 100 percent better when he was around. There was just something about him, that I couldn't quite place just yet.
We finally reached full altitude and he let go of my hand. For just a second I had the urge to take it back. My hand didn't feel so warm without his in it, and it felt kinda.. empty.
"Better?" I nodded my head and sat up straight. But he grabbed me right back and placed my head back down. "Sleep Bella." The next thing I remember is him asking for a small blanket and pillow and I was out.
"Edward, what are you doing?" I was giggling and chasing Edward around the playground by our house where we used to go all the time.
I don't know why I was chasing him, but I started heading into the woods just on the outside of the the playground.
"Edward, where are you?" I broke through a small clearing and gasped. It was beautiful. There were small, colorful flowers growing all around and the air smelled sweet. There were rays of sunshine streaming through the breaks in the trees, making it well lit, but also dim in the shadows. It was perfect.
"Do you like it Bella?" I turned to the side to see Edward standing just in the shadows. He took a step forward and his beautiful face lit up a bit. Wait, beautiful face? Yes, who was I kidding. Edward had a very beautiful face, but that wasn't it. He was perfect, just like this meadow.
"I love it Edward, but what are we here for?" He walked over and took both my hands in his, pulling me to the middle of the meadow.
"I want to tell you something Bella. There's been something I've been needing to tell you, and I think I've found my perfect opportunity." His emerald green eyes were sparking and I couldn't look away. It's like I was mesmerised.
"Well go ahead Edward." He smiled and pulled my left hand up to kiss my knuckles.
"Bella, I.. Bella? Bella?" What?
"Bella, wake up. We're here." My eyes fluttered open and looked straight into the same green eyes I just saw. "Goodmorning sunshine. We're here. You ready to get off the plane?" He laughed a little and stood us up, taking the blanket and setting it back on the seat. I reached under the seat and grabbed my purse and took Edwards outstretched hand without thinking. My hand started tingling a bit, kinda like a spark, and I jerked it back immediately. I didn't mean to, it's just, that had never happened before. I looked up and saw Edwards face look a bit hurt, so I returned my hand to his and walked off the plane.
All the way through the airport, from the gate, to the luggage claim, to the rental car counter, my head was swirling. I don't know if it was because of the dream, or the lack of much sleep, or the fact that my hand felt just right in his, but I couldn't stop the thoughts spinning around in my head.
What was the dream all about? And why all of a sudden was I feeling this way? Me and Edward had been best friends for how long, and I was just now thinking about any of this? And most importantly, why was I thinking about any of this? We were friends, and it's not like that could ever change. I needed to stop. I don't know where these feelings were coming from, but I couldn't allow them to go any further. I had too much already.
"Bella, you OK?" I came crashing back to the present and noticed we were standing infront of a car, and Edward had the passenger door opened.
"Yeah, I'm fine." I smiled and got into the car. He walked around the front and got in, starting the car and taking my hand back in his. The spark was still there, but I didn't jerk away this time. He looked down and smiled, and it seemed like he was ok with holding my hand, so I was too.
When we got to the hotel and got our room, we decided we'd rest a little, then go out and explore. I sat my purse on the table and decided to take out my phone and turn it back on. I knew it; 3 new voicemails and 2 text messages. Text messages first, they might be less brutal.
Bella, just wanna let you know Charlie called here at about 9:15 this morning looking for you. I answered and said I didn't know where you were ;) (technically I don't lol)
Love, Alice.
I couldn't help but smile at Alice's effort.
Bella, please call me. We need to talk.
- Jake
Ugh, please tell me that wasn't starting already. It hadn't been 24 hours yet.
The phone was off, so I didn't know who the voicemails were from, but I bet I could guess.
"Message one, sent at nine-thirty four a.m: ISABELLA MARIE SWAN! Where are you? I told you, you were not to go anywhere with Edward. If I find out you're in Chicago right now, you're grounded!"
Busted.
"Message two, sent at nine-forty six a.m: Hey Bella. It's Alice, I'm sure you got my text, but I wanted to let you know that Charlie called again, and Esme couldn't lie. She told him you were with Edward, but you were safe, and you'd call as soon as you got there. She said as a parent herself it's not right to not know where your child is and yadda yadda, but goodluck, love you guys! Have fun!"
Great, now I had to call him.
The third message was the worse; even after Charlie's.
"Message three, sent at ten-fourteen a.m: Bella, it's Jacob. I miss you. Charlie said you weren't at home this morning, and that he knew you were with Edward. What you're doing is not right. If you left me to be with him, you're making a big mistake. Come home. You shouldn't have run out on us like that."
Us? Since when did he categorize himself with Charlie? I deleted all three and turned the phone back off. I looked over and saw Edward sitting on the edge of the bed on the phone. Obviously with Esme. I heard him say we made it safe and that he'd call later tonight after we got home. When he hung up he looked back at me.
"Sorry, they were supposed to give us two beds," He motioned to the one king sized bed he was sitting on. "But clearly, we're stuck with one." His face turned down a little, and I knew he felt kinda bad.
"It's OK Edward. Just stay on your side." I laughed and winked at him jokingly before climbing onto the bed and laying down on top of the comforter.
The weekend was going to be perfect.
Soooo ?? Sorry, this chapter isn't my best, but it's kind of a 'filler' chapter, it's just pretty much them getting there, I promise some kinda of action in the next chapter (=
And about that poll I was talking about.. It might take a little while for that to be up cause I can't make up my mind! Lol but once I do, I'll be posting the pros and possibly cons to two different types of cars for Bella (since in my story, the truck is non-exsistent lol)
Thank you guys! (=
