I slept a sleepless night, waking up groggy and tired.
I'm afraid, I'm afraid of everything right now.
The only thing keeping me from crying, is the sleeping boy next to me.
I curl up to his back, one arm over his waist, and I inhale his scent.
I have to remember him, just like this, if I can't see him again.
If I can't see him again...now I am afraid of those words.
I couldn't hold it in anymore, and finally, the tears came.
They rolled down my face, and I muffled my cries against Edward's back.
I love Edward so much; I can't be away from him. If our parents break us up, life as I know will be destroyed.
Maybe it was doomed to be destroyed in the first place.
I let out a startled squeal when Edward rolls to his side, and he pulls me to his chest. I relax, my tears weakening against his neck, and I can feel myself become drowsy.
"Don't cry Bella. No more tears." Edward whispers in my hair, and more warm water fell off my chin.
"I'm scared, Edward. What if Renee and Mom take you away? What if I'm not Charlie's? What if-"
Edward cut me off, his dry, warm lips locked on mine. I let go of it all, all the tears I was holding escaped, and I cried harder, and kissed harder.
"I don't care about any of that, Bella. I know the only thing I should, that I love you, and you love me. Everything else is useless to me." Edward held me so tight, our body heat mingling together.
With his words carrying me to sleep, I dreamed knowing 2 things I wasn't afraid of.
I loved Edward.
And Edward loved me.
Blankets wrapped around me, toasty warm, and soft. Yet, I woke up uncomfortable and cold. I pushed my wild bangs out of my face, blurry vision coming in focus. Edward wasn't there, and that's what woke me up. Looking around the room proved that he wasn't here. I got up on pins and needle legs, and walked to the bathroom. On the way there, I saw Edward sitting on the stairs with Esme.
"I love her, I love her so much. I can't leave with mother, I just can't. Bella is my life." Edward looked at his hands, his voice quiet.
"But you're so young; you don't know what love is." Mom murmured, watching Edward with wise eyes.
Mom never looked so understanding in her life.
"I do know love. I know it every time I see her face, her smile, when I hear her laugh. Everything about her makes me happy, and she has become my life now. I can't live without my life." Edward's gaze pulled away from his hands, and he looked at Esme. She smiled at him.
I ran to the bathroom, I didn't want to interrupt them. Crying out of happiness tends to be loud when I do it.
Edward came back to the room a few minutes later. I was back in bed, teeth brushed, hair combed, and wide awake.
"Hey babe." He kissed my forehead, smiling down at me.
"Edward...you are my life too." He stopped moving after he heard my words.
"Bella...you heard-"
"I didn't hear everything, only the sweet parts." I teased at him.
"I meant what I said, I really did."
"I know, and I meant what I said too."
"When did you become the center of my world? When did you start to understand me so well?" Edward grinned at me.
"Probably the first time I slapped you. You fell for my fast reflexes, and angry eyes." Edward snorted at me.
"You know what? You're right. Right then and there, after feeling the sting of your hit, and the fury in your eyes, I knew I loved you. My feisty, brown haired angel." His lips were on mine, moving quickly. My arms were around his neck, his arms around my waist, our bodies moving in harmony.
We are two angels, in love and in lust.
The phone rang, and lucky for us, Edward had a house phone in his room.
The caller I.D said 'Victoria Smith' on it.
I picked up quickly.
"Hello?" I winced at my breathy answer.
"Bella, its James." A familiar voice spoke from the phone.
"James, hi, umm....what's up?" I winced again at my fumbled answer.
"My mother spoke to your father. I told her not to, but she did anyway. He must have been working with her, at the hospital, and she told him everything."
I dropped the phone.
I looked at the phone.
I screamed at the phone.
"You have to be fucking kidding me! What did she say?! Did she tell him how his son is screwing his new daughter right under his nose?! Why is it when we finally get something good, something shitty happens?!" I ranted at the phone, which was still on the floor.
Edward picked it up, and spoke to James quietly. After a couple minutes, he hanged up.
"James says Victoria accidentally told Carlisle. She told him about how she met a boy at the restaurant yesterday. And how he was in love with his sister, and how she was going to do a DNA test for them. Carlisle asked what the sister and brother looked like. Victoria describes them, and Carlisle stormed off. He is on his way right now." Edward's gaze was hard, and anxious. He wanted to see what his father would do.
I didn't.
We are two angels, falling down into the darkness.
"Edward...what are we going to do?"
"We should start packing, if they try to split us up, we are leaving." Edward went into his closet, pulling out a suitcase.
"Are you sure, Edward? I'll leave with Charlie instead; you shouldn't have to abandon your house for me-"
"Bella, don't you dare. You are worth abandoning my house for. If you are gone, there is no reason for me to stay. I need you, Bella. And I won't leave without you." Edward gazed into my eyes, and they watered up.
"You're right, Edward. We can do this together. I won't let them send you off." I kissed him desperately, needing the love that he gave me.
I heard the front door open, and then slam shut loudly.
"Bella! Edward! Get downstairs, now!" Carlisle sounded fucking furious.
Edward even flinched from his tone.
I grabbed his hand, squeezing it reassuringly, and he smiled sadly at me.
We are only two teenagers, who love with each other.
We are only two siblings, who wrongly love each other.
Edward helped me up, and we walked hand in hand downstairs.
Carlisle stood in front of us, his golden eyes a blaze, anger so strong in them, that we could feel it.
Esme, my mother, stood by his side, clutching his arm, and she looked scared to death.
Edward and I are two lovers, who aren't afraid to fight for our love anymore.
And we are two angels, who aren't alone, and who would never be alone anymore.
What happens when angels fall?
