One of those teeny chapters that hardly count lol.
Enjoy!

Edward watches me from his bed whilst I get ready to leave —sleep rumpled and fumbling in my exhaustion.
"I'll …" I bite my lip, hand on the doorknob. "I guess, I'll see you tonight?"
Nodding once, he sits, bracing himself on his elbows. I watch as he battles inwardly with something, his brow furrowed. I wonder how bad his head aches. Scratching the back of his neck, he looks at me. "So, we're like, friends?"
The way he says it makes it sound like a stupid concept, but I nod anyway. "Friends."
One eyebrow raised, he smirks. "I can't hurt anyone who looks at you?"
Rolling my eyes, I open the door. "No."
"But, how do I keep them away from you?"
Turning to look at him once more, I smile timidly. "You don't. You trust me."
I don't wait around to see or hear his reaction.
