I feel like walking the world, Like walking the world
You can hear she's a beautiful girl, She's a beautiful girl
She fills up every corner like she's born in black and white,
Makes you feel warmer when you're trying to remember, What you heard
She likes to leave you hanging on her word,Suddenly I see
This is what I wanna be, Suddenly I see, Why the hell it means so much to me

Chapter Eleven--------Suddenly I See
I watched Carlisle come out of the room later that night. He had told me my results and I had given him permission to tell Edward. After all Edward was my mate and he took care of me. I had never imagined giving the reigns over to someone else before. Not completely of course, I was still as free a spirit as always, but just letting someone take care of me. Help me shoulder my burdens. Carlisle had said that I was dehydrated and needed vitamins. I just shrugged it off. I was already drinking more fluids. Of course, I was on another fast too, so I'm not sure if that counts. Oh well. It'll have to. If I drink anything I'm positive that I'll blow chunks. I couldn't possibly hold any more water. I loved a good fast. I loved the way it made me feel and how the number on the scale dropped when I did. I flipped my ipod on. I didn't wanna hear whatever Edward had come up with to lecture me. I wasn't three years old. I didn't need any of that. I was a perfectly consenting adult. At least in the wizarding world. He didn't say anything, however. He merely came and sat down beside me on the white couch, wrapping me in a blanket and his arms. I ended up laying on him, half in his lap. I liked that about him. We could be so comfortable with each other. I wonder what he would think if I ever told him about the life I used to have, about Voldemort and Dumbledore and the prophecy. I wonder if Alice knew and was just preserving my own privacy. She was good like that. I leaned over and gave Edward a tender kiss, my own way of showing I appreciated him not chewing me out. Maybe someday I'd be able to tell him who I used to be. Maybe.

Sirius,
I know you're never going to read this because you're gone now. Carlisle told me that it may be good for me to get my feelings out, even if it is on paper. He told me I should keep a journal, but as soon as he suggested it, I thought of you. I wanted to write to you, to tell you all of things that have happened and all of the things I've been feeling since then. Here's the current situation. I'm sitting on my bed in, you'll never guess it, Forks, Washington. It's a small out of the way coastal town in America. Yep. I did what we always joked about. I ran away! From Dumbledore, from Voldemort, from everything. Now I know you are probably cheering me on from where ever you and my parents are chilling but tell mum not to worry. I'm acting at least alittle bit responsible. I'm going to a muggle school and doing pretty well for myself. I even have a boyfriend! Just don't tell dad that he's a vampire. Carlisle (the aforementioned gentleman) is his father. Well, sire, but they really are just like a family. I adore him so much, Siri. He's so…perfect. And don't worry. They're vegetarian vamps. All seven of them. Yes! SEVEN! I was surprised too. I miss you so much, Siri. I don't know how I got by without you there beside me. It was really hard and I hated myself for so long. I hated everything about me. I blamed myself for what happened until I realized that it was Dumbledore and Voldemort's fault all along. I realized that I shouldn't bitch about things if I have the power to change them. I got a new look and I started a diet. I feel great now! You should see my hair, it's even longer than yours was! I snuck away in the middle of the night and picked a random spot on the map near the sea. It rains everyday here almost but it's just like home. The sea is lovely even. I'm going to try and con Edward (the perfect boyfriend, btw) into going with me on a hiking/picnic excursion to the shore. It would be wonderful. Now, I know what you're thinking and no, we haven't slept together. We decided to wait for awhile. Edward is over a century old so he has A LOT of self control. More than you, no doubt, you sly dog! Now that I've laughed to myself so hard I officially fell off my bed, I'm afraid I must say goodnight. I have school tomorrow after all and we cant ALL stay up partying like you did. Tell everyone I said I love them. I love you too, Sirius. I have my freedom now, and I know that you would be proud of me for that.

Harrison sighed, rolling over. With his eyes still closed he smiled, burrowing into the coolness he felt there.
"Morning." Edward whispered with a smile.
He grinned, wrapping an arm around his boyfriend's neck languorously. With a mischievous smirk, he started to lightly cough and clear his throat.
"I seem to be coming down with something, Edward. Maybe we should stay home today. After all, being in the same bed and all, you probably caught it too. We should stay in bed and relax all day." He said offhandedly.
Edward laughed out loud, scooping him up for a big morning kiss on top of him.
"You think so?"
"Oh yes. We should call Carlisle right away, in fact. Just so he knows to let the school know."
"Well, I'll get to that right away. Then we can get to…resting." Edward chuckled, his hand sliding teasingly down his spine beneath his nightshirt.
Harrison couldn't help the small moan that trickled from him at the touch. That damned tingling drove him crazy. He buried his face in Edward's neck, blushing furiously. Not for the first time, he was glad that Edward couldn't read past his Occlumency barriers because his thoughts were not so appropriate. He knew it was silly to be embarrassed because when they finally did mate, he would be making more sounds than that. And he knew that the sounds he made nearly drove his boyfriend wild because of the way his eyes would fade to black whenever he let even the smallest moan loose. They were both cursing their abstinence decision at present. Edward reached into his back pocket to retrieve his phone, hitting the speed dial he had for Carlisle's cell. All the while, he was trailing a hand along Harrison's sensitive sides. He heard the vampire sire pick up the phone.
"Edward? Is Harrison well?" Came the kind voice on the phone.
"Oh yes, he will be fine. He's not going to be able to make it to school today though so I'm going to watch him."
Harrison had no doubt that he would too. Edward looked as if he would do anything at the moment to watch every inch of him. His boyfriend probably wouldn't let him out of bed even if he wanted to go to school though. Carlisle must have heard his soft gasp as a cool hand dipped for a second beneath his waist band, teasing him all the more but never touching the way he wanted him to. His voice came across amused and disbelieving.
"Is that so?"
"It is. So if the school calls, will you let them know that Harrison and I are in bed with a fever?"
They smirked at the laugh that Carlisle burst out with at his excuse. A fever indeed.
"I'll tell them. Oh and Edward? The two of you be safe."
He was laughing again as Edward hung up and turned back to his willing prey. Harrison was a shivering, sensitive mess, glaring at him for teasing so much. He wasn't the only one in a situation though. He could feel Edward stretched tight beneath him and he had never seen his eyes so dark before. Harrison had resigned himself to a cold shower when an elegant hand slipped into his boxers and stars burst behind his eyes. Maybe the day wasn't a waste after all. Edward touched him and he was suddenly a pile of writhing, panting needy goo on the bed. Merlin, their decision was going to be difficult to keep. Oh well. Harrison fully intended to give back as soon as Edward's sinful hand was giving.
