Chapter 12- Dream Land
We got back to the car soon. Edward set me down on the ground and looked deep into my eyes. I was dazzled again. He held me close and kissed me again. It was as wonderful as the first one.
"we...we should... go now," I muttered in between the kiss.
"..mmm..." he picked me up into his arms and slid into the truck. He sat me down on the passenger side and started up the car.
"So...how was your day? Better then going to Seattle?" Edward asked.
"I don't know..."
He looked over at me, hurt and alarmed.
"I'm just kidding that was the best days I've had in Forks!" I exclaimed. He smiled, obviously pleased with himself.
I looked out the window and saw everything speeding past, faster then it should.
"Woah! Slow down! My truck can only take so much!" I warned.
"Relax Bella!" he teased. I shot him a look and he slowed down, with a chuckle, though. I rolled my eyes. Edward soon started up a conversation. Mostly questions though. Things like my life before I moved to Forks, people, favorite things and more. Soon we where home.
"Come inside," I suggested.
"Are you sure?" he asked.
"Yes,"
"Okay,"
We got out of the car and slammed the doors shut. We walked up the path and into the house. I shut the door behind Edward and slipped my shoes off placing them in the closet. Edward keeled down beside me, putting his arm around me and dropping his shoes next to mine. I smiled at him and lead him into the kitchen.
"Are you hungry?" he asked.
"Not really," I answered. I heard tires on the road down the street. So did Edward.
"Charlie is though," he said before running up the stairs.
"Edward?" I questioned. A car pulled into the driveway and I heard footsteps coming up the path. I rushed around the kitchen preparing food. The door opened and closed. I heard some noise as my dad took his shoes off and hung his coat up.
"Hey Bells!" he greeted walking into the kitchen.
"Hey dad! How was your day?" I asked while fumbling with the frying pan. I was making eggs and toast.
"Good, good...how was yours?" he asked, inspecting his plate.
"It was good. I spent a lot of time outside...it was..so nice out! I just had too!" I explained.
"Mmmm, these are really good! And different..." Charlie complemented. I made scrambled eggs, then put on some salsa and cheese.
"Thanks dad," I said. "I really am tired though so I think I'm going to bed soon, okay?" I told him as I walked past.
"Okay then.."
When I was out of sight, I raced upstairs and into my room. I shut the door and turned around.
"Hello," Edward smiled. He was spread out on the bed, on his side, propping his head up on his hand.
"...hi," I said it sort of like a question.
"Sorry, would you like me to leave?" he asked, worried.
"No..no it's okay," I argued.
"Well..." he sat up and patted the bed. I walked over and sat beside him.
"Back to the questioning," he smirked.
"Okay,"
"Have you ever had any pets?" he asked.
"...I had a cat once...but he ran away," Edward looked sad for me. "I also had a fish...but the cat ate him..." he looked shocked before he started laughing.
"Okay...moving on. What where your friends like?"
"Well, one was name Anastasia, she had beautiful sandy blond hair that curled a little and was hilarious! We called her Annie." I described to him. "I also had a friend named Jocelyn, she had dark brown hair. She was very athletic and drew amazing pictures. Another friend I had was named Olivia, she was also very funny and athletic. She had very light brown shoulder length hair. The last girl who completed our group was also named Anastasia. She loved music and was very quiet. She had long curly light brown hair." I finished.
"Do you miss them?"
"...Yes,"
So he continued asking me questions until Charlie went to bed.
"Oh...I'm sorry you should be sleeping.."
"It's okay," I assured him.
"No...I should leave now," he insisted. He got up to leave, I don't know why I said it or what came over me.
"No! Don't go!"
He stared at me for a moment, "Will you go to sleep if I stay?"
I was quiet for a few minutes before I said something I should not have said.
"Yes,"
He smiled and so did I. I rushed into the bathroom and got on some pyjamas. They where grey, with purple white and more purple dots on them. I brushed my teeth before tiptoe running back into my room.
When I got there Edward was sitting in the rocking chair beside my bed. I jumped onto my bed and Edward laughed again. He soon recovered.
"I'm serious Bella you really should go to sleep," he told me with a stern but teasing look.
I sighed. "Fine,"
So I pulled back the covers and got into bed. I let my head head fall onto my pillow.
"Edward?"
"Yes?"
"You will stay tonight won't you?" I asked him.
"Yes,"
I felt silly asking my next question. "...All night?"
He appeared at my side."Of course," he said before planting a kiss on my forehead. "Goodnight, love,"
"Goodnight,"
I closed my eyes and Edward walked back over to the rocking chair. I, of course, couldn't really fall asleep but having Edward there made me believe I was in dream land. His scent was so relaxing. It swarmed all around me and my room. I could feel his eyes on me the entire time. I made sure my breathing was even and my 'heart rate' slowed. I wish I still had a beating heart. That way Edward could hear it for real. What he was hearing now was a false sign of life. I was really just like him under my camouflage and I always will be. He began to hum a beautiful tune. It reminded me of a lullaby. I listened to it, memorizing the way it sounded coming from him. The way it would get softer and louder, how it would sometimes get high and low. I loved it. It seemed like hours had gone by since I last opened my eyes. Edward had long ago stopped humming, but I still replayed it over and over in my head.
Edward stood up and walked over beside my head. He bent down.
"I love you, sweet Bella," he whispered in my ear. Then he lightly kissed my forehead for the second time that night and brushed my hair away from my face with his finger tips. He stood up and walked away. There was a small soft noise no human could detect, I could though. I opened my eyes only a little and saw the top of Edward's head disappear, as he jumped out the window. I heard Edward land and begin running away and into the forest.
I stared at the open window as Edward's footsteps faded. The thin curtains blew in the wind and reminded me a lot of a movie where something bad happened. Only this wasn't a movie.
Edward left. He left. After I asked him if he would stay, twice. I looked over at the clock. 2:54AM. Almost 3.
I stayed frozen in the same position for a very long time. Edward's scent was fading and blowing out the open window. I really wish I could cry. I don't understand why he left. I don't know when he was coming back. Or was he even coming back. I did know that it really hurt when I could no longer hear his footsteps. Just silence.
I strained my ears, desperately trying to hear something. I could only hear the crickets chirp though. I could hear the wind blow, the animals sleeping. The leaves, the branches, the water dripping off them. I could even hear cars on the highway, far behind my house. Then a familiar sound crept back to my ears.
Crunch. Crunch. Crunch. Crunch.
That was the sound of footsteps in the forest. A pair of fast feet stepping lightly on leaves and twigs, not caring how much noise they made. It was getting closer and closer. The wind blew in through my window and it was carrying my new favorite smell in the world!
EDWARD!
He stopped below my window and I closed my eyes again. I heard a very soft thump as he landed in the room. Edward came back! He shut the window and returned to his rocking chair. I was so beyond happy! I had to be careful though. I'm just not ready to tell him yet. His scent was soon surrounding me again. I was back in my happy little dream land. I breathed in his scent and replayed his humming from earlier. I could feel his eyes on me again.
I didn't know when I should 'wake' up. Charlie got up so I knew it should be soon. For now though, I just listened to my dad get ready to go fishing. That was a good thing because I was probably going to spend the day with Edward anyway. I hear my dad's car pull away from the driveway. I didn't know how early it was so I didn't know when to get up. To be safe I waited, at least, another hour and a half before I opened my eyes. I rolled onto my back and looked up at the ceiling. Then I turned my head to the side where Edward was sitting in the chair smiling.
"Good morning!" He exclaimed.
"Edward!" I screeched throwing myself out of bed and into his arms.
"Hello," he chuckled.
"Hi," I smiled. He held me on his lap and hummed that lullaby again. I rested my head on his shoulder as he slowly rocked the chair we where sitting in. After he was done he asked,
"Are you hungry? Do you want breakfast?"
"Um well...I'm really not that hung-"
"Bella! You need to eat something! You haven't had food since yesterday morning! You did eat yesterday before I got here didn't you?"
"Um...ya, I did eat," I lied.
"Alright good, now you need to eat again," Edward decided.
"Umm.. alright.." I murmured getting off his lap. He stood up and took my hand. I looked up at him and he grinned before pulling me downstairs. We walked into the kitchen and I went to the pantry. I dug out some cereal and set it on the table. Then I reached up into a different cupboard and grabbed a bowl. I opened a draw and picked out a spoon before getting the milk out of the fridge.
"So what are we doing today?" I asked as I sat down at the table. Edward sat down across from me before he said anything.
"I was thinking about taking you to my house,"
"...With your family?" I half whispered.
"Yes. Are you afraid?" he asked.
Yes!
"What if they don't like me?" I asked him.
He burst out laughing.
"Your afraid they won't like you?" he wondered.
"Well..yes,"
He laughed again.
"It's okay Bella. I'm sure they will love you," he assured me. "I also think you should introduce me to Charlie,"
"You do?" I exclaimed worried.
"Yes," he said.
"...Alright.." I agreed.
"So eat up Bella! We have a big day ahead of us!" he joked.
I opened up the box and inwardly gagged. Edward made a face as the smell spread over to him.
"Your really going to eat that?" he asked.
"I guess so," I muttered.
(AN:I was going to end it here but I decided to give you guys a little more)
I opened the bag and dumped a small amount into the bowl.
...Ew
I closed the box right after not wanting to smell it anymore. Edward stared at it in disgust.
"You don't have to stay if you don't want to," I told him.
"I...Well...You see it's not that-" Edward started but I cut him off.
"Come get me in a few hours. I'll need time to get ready. How about you come back around 12:30ish? Go hunting or something okay?" I suggested.
"Alright," he sighed. "I'll see you later," he said. He started to walk away to the door. "I'll go hunting, there's enough time to go somewhere out of Forks and get a bear or something good before telling the family Bella's coming," he murmured as he closed the door. I waited until his footsteps faded and he was out of hearing range before I dumped all the cereal back in the box. I put everything away and went upstairs to my room.
What should I wear today?
I looked through my closet and dresser draws. I decided on some simple jeans and a grey hoodie from American Eagle. I had a pink T-shirt to match the writing on the front to wear under it too.
I picked it all up and went to have a shower. I put the clothes on the counter and the towel on the ground in front of the shower door. I got in the shower and relaxed in the warm water. I finally let my body be what it wanted to be. It's a good thing I told Edward to go hunt. I wouldn't have been able to stay human for much longer then this. It felt good to be normal again. Especially in the shower. A side from the forest, this was the one place I could be me. I shut off the water when I was done and stepped out. I wrapped myself in a towel and glanced at the clock. Wow. Only 7:47AM. I got dressed then walked back into my room.
What am I going to do for almost 5 hours?
Then it hit me!
Of course!
