Adam's Pov
I looked at Lisa in awe, she had just made a joke about Emmett eating a bear; she didn't seem to be afraid of us. Carlisle finished stitching up her arm and told her she would be fine. The wound didn't look too bad but it wasn't something I wanted to explain to her parents, they trusted me to keep her safe, I hadn't done that. Instead I had been selfishly focusing on just her, I had used my gifts to turn off the world around me and she was injured because of it. I felt a guilty knot form in my stomach; I took in a deep breath and stared at my ski boots.
"You and I need to talk" she pointed at me. I looked up, getting lost in those magnificent green eyes.
"Okay" I croaked out and walked over to her on the couch; I took her hand in mine and helped her up. I walked with her up to my room. She sat down on my bed and stared at me for a moment; when she opened her mouth to talk I raised my hand. "Hold on" I dug through my bag and got my iPod out and its portable speakers. I sat them down and turned up the volume as Pink Floyds album The Wall blared out.
"What are you doing?" She looked at me confused.
"Aw that's not fair Adam!" I heard Emmett booming from down stairs.
"We have really good hearing, this way they can't eavesdrop as easily" I explained with a soft smile.
"Right…" she took in a deep breath, anger building in her face. "Why didn't you tell me?!" her voice rose as she shouted at me.
"I…." I was at a loss for words; this is what she was upset about?
"You what? I thought we agreed to tell each other everything." She got to her feet and approached me. I was a little afraid of her; she was small but I've never heard her shout before.
"It's not something you mention on the first date Lisa" I explained in a whimper.
"We are well past that point and you know it" she pushed her index finger into my chest as she scolded me. I took in another deep unnecessary breath.
"I'm sorry, I'll understand if you don't want anything to do with me, I can take you to the airport right now" I offered; this only pissed her off more.
"Stop it, I didn't say that and I would appreciate if you didn't put words into my mouth, I want to know why you waited so long to tell me? Are you afraid I'm going to tell people? I hope you have a little more faith in me than that." She looked incredibly beautiful when she yelled.
"I…I just…it's not exactly normal" I stammered out.
"How about you let me decide what is and isn't normal okay?" she pushed her finger into my chest again. "No more secrets okay? None" she emphasized it with another poke into my chest. I looked at her very surprised.
"You aren't afraid of me?" I asked softly.
"I thought you were a vampire, not stupid. Damn it Adam I love you, can't you see that?" She was still yelling. I groaned as I heard Alice "Aww" from downstairs. "You aren't going to hurt me, I know that" her tone was softer now. She pulled me into her arms "I trust you, you destroyed a freaking bear to protect me" I looked down and into her eyes; she was smiling at me now.
"I love you too" the words rolled out of my mouth like it was the most natural thing in the world.
"Good" she smiled and brought her lips to mine; we stayed like this for a few minutes before I felt her shiver. She was freezing. "You need to get warmed up" I said finally breaking our embrace. I walked her to her room and helped her get her jacket off. She gave me a quick kiss before heading into the bathroom for a shower. I went back into my room and changed out of my torn ski attire, I changed into a thick sweater and a pair of jeans before waiting on my bed for her to finish up.
