Movie Night

Friday

I smiled. It was the last school day of the week. I was also smiling because Jacob hadn't been back to class for the rest of the week after the little incident. Now, I stood in the dining hall trying to find my friends. I was having a little difficulty…

"Bella!" Emmett's loud voice boomed over everyone else's.

Oh there they are. I chuckled as I started to walk towards them. Leave it to Emmett to announce my arrival. I looked at the table and realized the person I wanted to see wasn't there. I could feel my face fall. As I was getting closer, I felt like someone was staring at me. I looked to my right and noticed that there was a table of girls and I realized they had all been with Edward at some point or another. They were glaring at me. What was their problem?

As I passed their table I should have paid more attention because out of no where, came someone's feet, and I tripped over it as they'd planned and braced myself for the impact. It never came, for I felt those muscular arms, his muscular arms, catch me and bring me back up.

"Thanks Edward" I said smiling. That was a close one.

"No problem. You do have a tendency to fall over your own feet" he said chuckling as we sat down at our table.

"Oh, I don't think it was my feet I fell over" I muttered, pointedly glaring at the blonde who'd done it.

Edward noticed who I was staring at and sighed.

"Who is she anyways?" I asked out of curiosity. Or at least that's what I convinced myself it was.

"That's Lauren. Beside her are Tanya and Victoria. I can't remember the other's names."

I looked away from their table and began to pick at my food when I realized the table had gone silent. I looked up to see all eyes on me.

"What?"

"Are you in or not?" Jasper asked.

"In for what?" I asked confused.

Alice rolled her eyes. "We're going to see a movie tonight. You want to come?"

"Oh sure. Wait, it depends on what genre."

Please don't say horror, please don't say

"Horror."

I let out a low curse that no one was intended to hear, but I could feel Edward laughing beside me so I guess he did.

"You know, now that you mention it Alice, I can't go. I have a lot of homework to do. A huge English paper due next Thursday. I'm afraid I just can't fit a movie into my schedule" I was hoping she'd buy that. I wasn't completely lying, I really did have a paper due next Thursday.

"What's this Bella? Don't tell me you're scared of horror movies?!" Emmett boomed so loud I got quite some curious glances from people around.

I shot him a glare and crossed my hands in front of my chest.

"NO, I'm not scared."

"Then prove it" Alice said with a smile on her lips.

"Well, who would I go with? Jayden's got basketball practice" I grabbed at the last excuse I could think of.

Rose smirked. "Edward's not going with anyone, and since you guys are such good friends…"

I looked up at Edward and he was smiling down at me.

I sighed in defeat. "Fine, I'll go."

"Of course you are!" Alice squealed. "Everyone meet at Bella and Edward's after school."

I stood up and waited for Edward so we could leave.

"You don't look too happy Bella" he noted.

"It's nothing." How was I supposed to explain to him that I always had nightmares after I watched scary movies? Well, he would find out tonight.

I was pretty distant throughout the class period and I think Edward noticed because as we were about to leave he said, "Bella if you don't want to go the movies with me it's all right."

I didn't have to look up to know he was lying, I could hear the hurt in his voice.

"Oh, I don't mind going with you Edward, but you'll find out why I'm acting this way in due time."

"Come on" he said, pulling me out the door. I stopped outside and faked being shocked.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"Edward! Do you see any females with blonde hair lingering anywhere around here?"

He rolled his eyes and walked away from me.

I stopped pretending and ran to catch up to him.

I should have known better than to run, especially since Edward was in front and not behind me. Next thing I knew, my foot slipped and I ended up landing flat on my butt. Hard. I could feel the look of shock cross my face as I sat there and said "Ow!"

Edward turned around and my face or the position I was in must have looked funny because he burst out with laughter and didn't even offer to help me up!

I frowned and stood up. Alice wouldn't like the grass stains on the shorts when I got back. I brushed at my pants and walked past a still laughing Edward.

"I'm glad you find this funny" I muttered under my breath.

"Bella wait!" he said, grabbing my hand and I suppose attempting to calm himself down. "I'm sorry, please forgive me."

I wouldn't look at him so he lifted my face, forcing my eyes to meet his. The worry that etched his brows made me smile immediately.

"You're forgiven" I whispered.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"Alice! I don't see why I have to dress up, it's only the movies! Can't I just wear jeans or something?" I whined like a three year old.

"NO! Now put them on" she pointed at the shortest shorts I have ever seen and a shirt that revealed a little more than I desired.

I sighed as she gave me a death glare and put the clothes on. How could someone so tiny have so much power over me?

As soon as she was done with my makeup, we went to the living room where everyone else was already seated.

I watched as Alice skipped over and grabbed Jasper's hand pulling him towards the door and Emmett lifted Rose off his lap to walk with her out the door. I followed behind them, with Edward close behind me.

"Are we taking your car?" I asked. He nodded.

I watched Emmett and Rose get into his jeep, and Jasper and Alice get into her Porsche. I was suddenly curious to see what kind of car Edward drove. When we stopped in front of a silver Volvo, I smiled. It was the perfect car for him.

Edward caught my smile "What? My car not good enough for you?"

"No, that's not it"

"Well, it's nothing like yours" he muttered, sneaking a glance at my car across the lot.

I laughed and sat in the leather seat.

We rode to the theater in silence, but it was a comfortable silence and the classical music in the background made me forget all the worries I'd had before.

When we got out of the car and were headed for the theater, I notice a run down building that looked vacant and out of place. But squinting, I saw a sign above it that said 'Bookstore'. (foreshadowing) My love for reading soon made its appearance and I found myself getting excited at the prospect of buying a new book later tonight.

"Hey Edward does that bookstore still run?" Although the sign was still lit, the inside of the building was dark. And I couldn't tell if it was because it was closed for the day, or just closed.

"No," he answered, glancing down at me curiously as if wondering why I'd be interested in it.

I was a little disappointed that it was closed, but when we walked into the movie theater, all thoughts left my mind and I suddenly remembered why I'd been nervous about coming tonight. I fidgeted while I watched Edward pay for our popcorn and drinks and when we walked into the room, I pointed to seats towards the back. That way, I couldn't make too big a fool of myself.

I watched Rose and Emmett get into the row before us, and Alice and Jasper into the row before them.

"What's this movie called?" I whispered to Edward as the lights darkened.

"I don't really know"

Great. I faced the front and got ready for the movie to begin.

At the beginning, there wasn't any immediate action and I actually found myself relaxing for a little. I should have known it was too good to be true.

Before long, I had a death like grip on the container of popcorn before me and I was shaking uncontrollably. An unexpected scream from the movie caused me to rip the stupid paper bucket down its side.

Edward, noticing this, took the bucket out of my hands and put in an empty seat next to him. I think he was laughing at me. I turned around and shot him a glare that caused him to immediately shut up.

I was now gripping the armrests like my life depended on it and my breathing was coming out in ragged sounds. Why had I agreed to come?

Another scream from the movie and I reached my hand and snatched Edward's in a vice like grip. All too late, I realized my actions and waited for him to drop my hand. He never did. Instead, he rubbed the back of it with his thumb, causing me to calm down a little.

I looked back at the screen once more, determined not to freak out again but what I saw made me give a heart wrenching scream. The sound of a saw turning on and the manical laughter as the villain cut off a screaming human's head was the cause of my screaming. I wasn't the only one who screamed, but I was the only one who shot out of my seat and bolted out the nearest exit.

I found a bench just outside the door and I sat down, pulled my knees up to my face, and wrapped my arms around myself. I couldn't get the image out of my mind and suddenly I knew what I'd be dreaming about tonight.

It wasn't long before I heard the theater doors close and felt those familiar arms wrap around me.

"Bella" he said, trying to untangle me from the position I was in, but I was frozen in fear. I heard him sigh and then I felt myself being lifted off the bench and placed on his legs.

I opened my eyes to find his face less than an inch away from mine and his emerald eyes penetrated into mine. I was about to put my head back down again but he caught my chin and forced me to look into his eyes.

"Bella, it's okay. It was just a movie" he said in that smooth voice of his. "Ok?"

I quickly nodded and wrapped my arms around his neck, buried my face in his chest, and instantly became calm as he rubbed soothing circles around my back. My ragged breathing returned to normal and my heartbeat calmed down, at least to as much as it could considering I was still in Edward's arms.

"There you go" he said, noticing my tense posture relax.

"Do you want to go back to the dorms?"

I gave a quick nod and he told me to hold on while he went and told the others, so they wouldn't worry about us.

He came back out, reached out his hand to help me up, and led the way outside.

I gave a sigh of relief when the cool night breeze hit my face and closed my eyes. I opened them to see Edward staring curiously at me and I quickly looked down, feeling the heat rise up to my cheeks.

We got into the car and I relaxed in the cool leather, muttering a few incoherent words as I drifted asleep.

I woke up to a rocking movement and realized I was being carried back to the room. I was vaguely aware of my actions as I changed into some pajamas and went under the covers. It wasn't long before the nightmare started:

I was running full speed down a dark hallway. Looking for somebody, and listening for something. For who or what, I didn't know yet.

Then I heard it, the sickening sound of a saw being turned on and I knew that was where I was headed.

I ran towards the sound and could now see the shadows on the wall. I watched as the saw was raised over the head of someone being held down.

NOO!! I was too late!

I turned the corner and watched the head roll out to meet me, while maniacal laughter filled my ears.

I looked down at the head and screamed.

"Edward!" I sat up in bed immediately and could feel the perspiration on my face. I got off the bed and dragged my blankets with me to the living room where I could hear him breathing softly.

I walked over to where he was sleeping and squeezed myself into the nonexistent space in front of him and pulled the blanket over us. I felt his arms wrap around me and I instantly fell asleep.

I felt the rocking movement and knew I was being moved again. I felt myself being slowly lowered unto the bed but just when he was about to leave, I caught his arm.

"No Edward, please stay" I mumbled before falling asleep.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I opened my eyes to see sunlight flooding the room. Memories of last night came rushing back to me, but one especially made me blush. I looked around the bed, it was empty. I'd asked him to stay with me hadn't I?

Worry etched my brow and I quickly stood up to go find him.

"Edward?" I called, rubbing my eyes to get rid of the sleep. He wasn't in the living room. I poked my head into the kitchen, "Edward?" he wasn't there either. Where could he be? I was just about to turn around and go back to the bedroom when I felt myself being lifted off the ground.

I screamed, memories of the movie rushing to my mind.

"Chill Bella, it's just me" he whispered into my ear.

"Edward! What'd you do that for? Where were you?" I questioned as he set me on top of the kitchen counter so we were eye to eye.

He chuckled. "I was in the bathroom. So is that what you meant by I'd find out the reason for your behavior in due time?"

I could feel the heat rising up my cheeks and I looked down, swinging my dangling feet back and forth.

"Edward, I'm sorry about ruining the movie for you last night."

"You didn't ruin the movie for me" he said smiling, "in fact, you made it quite interesting."

I groaned, "What did I do or say last night in my sleep?"

He frowned, "about that, you know you sleep walked to the couch to sleep with me?"

"I wasn't sleep walking." I watched his eyebrows rise in delight. "I did it on purpose. I had a nightmare and I had to make sure you were okay. Sorry if I bothered you."

"I didn't mind. But what do you mean you had to make sure I was okay?"

"My nightmare was about the movie. Except you were the one getting your head sawed off." I could see the amusement light up his eyes.

"You cared so much you came to sleep with me?" he asked smiling.

I reached up to rub the back of my neck and gave him a sheepish grin. Thank goodness Emmett chose that time to stalk through the door with Rose, Alice, and Jasper trailing behind.

"Oh my gosh Bella, what happened to you at the movie theater?" Rose asked walking into the kitchen.

"Nothing happened" I mumbled.

"Well it sure didn't look like nothing!" Emmett boomed from the living room. "I don't think I've ever seen someone run faster than you did out of that movie theater!"

I could feel my cheeks getting warmer and I ignored him to look at Edward.

"So what's for breakfast?" I asked smiling.

"I made pancakes. I'll take them to the living room and you can grab the syrup." He said, taking out a huge stack of pancakes out of the microwave and walking out of the kitchen.

I was about to jump down from the counter when I realized just how high up I was.

Great. There's no way I can jump down without landing flat on my face.

"Bella what's taking you so long?" Edward called. "Emmett's already eaten half the pancakes by himself and without the syrup."

"Edward I need help" I called back.

He walked back into the kitchen, "help with what?"

I put out my hands towards him, "getting down" I said.

He laughed at me for a while before finally lifting me up and setting me on the ground.

"Thank you" I said, smiling up at him.

"Any time" he said grinning.

I walked over and snatched the last pancake off the plate before Emmett could take it.

"Jeez Emmett. I know Edward's a good cook and all, but you couldn't leave me more than one?"

He just gave me that boyish grin of his while running his hand through his curly hair guiltily.

"Bella are you going to the basketball game next Wednesday?" Jasper asked.

"Well, of course she's going" Alice replied for me.

"I am?" she looked at me like I was stupid.

"Well, yeah Bella. You're kind of dating the captain. How would that look if you weren't there?"

I glanced at Edward, and caught his eyes as he glanced at me.

She was right, I was dating the captain. But why did I feel so uncertain all of a sudden?

Well, now that we see Bella's getting some feelings for a little somebody, what say you we get rid of a little someone:) I think the next chappie is what you've been waiting for, though I can assure you not to get your hopes up too high! (sorry I'm so evil)

still got some virtual cookies for anyone who guesses what Jake is up to!

Sorry if there's mistakes but i have a time limit since i'm still grounded and all. so what'd you think?
