AN: Ok so the first chapter didn't really have a plot and this one doesn't either, but I promise in the next chapter Edward's secrets about Lillie will be revealed by none other than… (Drum roll please) Alice. Hehe, I'm so mean.
All of the characters in this story belong to Stephenie Meyer, except Lillie of course!
CHAPTER 2I awoke to find Edward sitting on the floor reading Hamlet, his pale skin glittering in the buttery sunlight that now flooded the room. " Good Morning Bella," he said looking up at me, his eyes filled with excitement.
" Good morning," I mumbled groggily.
" What do you think about going to our meadow today?" So that's what he's so excited about.
" Sure." I still wasn't quite awake yet.
He got up and placed the book on his desk. I notice that he was now carrying a pile of clothes.
" Alice was bored last night, so I told her to go get you some clothes, I hope you don't mind." I grabbed the clothes and headed for the nearest bathroom. Just what I need, more clothes.
I quickly slipped into the white miniskirt and sapphire blue halter-top. I ran a brush through my hair before heading back to Edward's room.
"Ok, I'm ready." I noticed that Edward was holding a granola bar. " Your not going to eat that, are you," I asked innocently. He rolled his eyes and tossed it to me.
" Let's go, Bella." I followed him down through the house. When we got to the front room I saw Alice sitting on the couch.
" Where do you think your going, if you haven't notice it is sunny out."
" Of course I noticed, I'd have to be an imbecile not to. Alice glared up at him.
" We're going to the meadow," I answered quickly.
" Oh…" she looked down sheepishly. I was sure that if she had been human she would have been blushing.
Edward led me carefully around Alice, who was rooted in her spot. When we got to the Volvo he quickly opened my door before darting around to the other side. He had already started the car by the time I climbed in.
With Edward's insane driving we were parked in front of the trail in less than twenty minutes.
I felt my stomach do a nervous flip, I knew what was coming next, and I wasn't looking forward to it.
Edward took one look at me, and burst out laughing. I glared at him, and started into the woods. I could soon here his quiet foot steps behind me.
" Are you going to walk the whole way? It would be easier if you just –
" No, don't even say it. I felt his arm wrap lightly around my waist.
" Please, for me. It would only take five minutes…" I glanced up at beautiful god like face.
" Fine, but I won't enjoy it. He gently threw me onto his back. I dug me face into his shoulder blade, and closed my eyes. " Let's get this over with."
I hadn't realized that we had arrived until Edward gently laid me on the ground.
" Was it really that bad?" he asked teasingly.
No. " Yes, of course it was." He sat on the grass in front of me.
" You know my birthday's next week." He nodded absently.
" Do you know what I want?" he stiffened as I said this, his eyes growing dark.
" Yes, and your not going to get," he answered darkly.
" Why not? I'm the one who would have to deal with it for the rest of eternity if it didn't work out the way I planed. Don't I get a say in this?
He closed his eyes. " No, you don't. I refuse to damn you to this hellish life." I know I should have dropped it, but my temper suddenly flared.
" You have no idea what I want. Can you read my mind? No. Maybe the only reason you refuse to give me the only thing I want is because you don't love me…"My tears were now flowing restlessly.
When I dared to look up at him, I instantly regretted it; his eyes were full of sorrow and betrayal. Long shadows played across his face. When he spoke his voice shook.
" Do you actually believe that?" I didn't answer, I was to ashamed.
" Never think that I don't love you." He put his hands on either side of my face. I lifted my face to meet his stare. He gently swept my hair back and kissed me. I pressed my cheek against his chest.
I felt his marble arms wrap around my shoulders, pulling my body closer to him.
" I'm sorry." I couldn't think of anything else to say.
Edward took my hand and placed it against his face.
" I love your warmth."
" Humph… I thought you liked me for my personality," I said in a childish voice. Edward rolled his eyes.
" Oh… that's so sweet." Edward froze.
I looked up to see Lillie standing at the edge of the forest, a menacing look in her eyes.
" Why are you here?" Her lips curled into a pout.
" Can't a girl say hi to her brother?"
AN: sorry it's so short; all the other chapters will be longer. Please review!
