Hello! I got a lot of great reviews! I actually got like 15 reviews from the 1st chapter, and I got 3 from the 2nd. Even though the 2nd is longer. Whatever. Anyway, this one's from Edward's POV.
Sleeping
I looked at the angel's face as she slept. It was times like these that her mind annoyed me. I could read any normal mind. Why not hers? Who knows. It bothered me day and night. She always changed her opinions easily or got mad quickly. So I never know what her emotions are. Which is unfortunate. I really wanted to know what she was thinking right now. Was she really happy about our engagement? I never have any way of knowing. She seemed troubled. I wondered what she was dreaming about.
"Edward….." she mumbled urgently.
On the other hand, maybe I do know what she's thinking about.
"I love you, Edw….." she drifted back to sleep.
I really need to stop wondering what she's dreaming about. She'll just blurt it out anyway.
She stiffened in her sleep. "No... Please don't go." Tears streaked down her face. She tossed and turned as she fretted with worry. I held her in my arms, as if to signify to her in her sleep that I was still here. She suddenly went limp. I couldn't feel her stomach moving. I put my hand to her mouth. She wasn't breathing! I grabbed on her and squeezed her chest four sharp times, using the Heimlich maneuver.
She suddenly jolted awake, screaming, "Edward!"
"I'm right here, Bella."
"Oh thank god…" She sagged into my arms and cried. I held her like a baby while she bawled her eyes out for what seemed like an hour. But I didn't mind. I lived holding her. But I hated seeing her in such pain.
"Bella, can you tell me what's wrong?" I asked gently.
"Oh, nothing," she replied.
"It was obviously something, Bella," I pushed.
"Just a nightmare."
"What kind of nightmare?"
"Nothing that bad," she lied.
I knew she obviously wasn't telling me something. But she seemed to be in enough pain. I decided to let it go, so that she wouldn't have to relive it again. I started rocking her in my arms. "Go back to sleep, Bella," I whispered in her ear.
"OK," she answered.
But she wouldn't. I rocked her in my arms all night. I wished she would go back to sleep. She had a big day tomorrow. Alice, Rosalie, Esme, and Renee were planning on taking her shopping. I even told her this. But she didn't have a response. I knew she would tell me about her dream when she was ready. I just hoped it was soon enough.
So how did you guys like it? Don't worry, the next chapter should be up tonight. In that one, you guys will see Bella's dream. Read and Review! (please)
