The next morning Edward is gone, but I watch his family closely. They are golden eyed and the pixie like one seems to stare at me from time to time. I continue feeling slightly disappointed when I walk into the cafeteria every day for almost a week and he's not there… Strange I should feel relieved. Right now I'm walking out from school, I need to Calle Demi when I get home to ask him for reasons why Edward wouldn't come ba-
"I'm so sorry." I mumble as I try to regain my balance through walking into someone… then I freeze. It's a vampire. I look up slowly, with my heart in my throat, and then I exhale relieved when I see the golden eyes.
"Don't worry, it was my fault I should have looked where I was going." He says and smiles enchantingly to me. It's Edward.
"Thank you." I say as I take my backpack from his hand, he caught it when I ran into him.
"You're welcome." He smiles politely. I smile back before walking around him and towards my car again. A cold hand stops me by my hand. I turn around and look.
"Bella… I- ," He begins then he shakes his head and smiles a little to me. "Nevermind. Have a good night." He says and then he walks away gracefully to his silver Volvo.
I walk to my truck confused and pull up my phone, calling Demi.
"Yes?" He answers harshly and I laugh quietly.
"It's Bell." I say as usual and hear the wind rushing by as he runs.
"Hi lil' sis'." He says happily and I chuckle.
"Hi big brother." I say and he laughs darkly.
"So how's your… friends?" He asks and I sigh.
"Odd, they are golden, but I think they act a little bit strange." I pause and look around. "I just had a weird conversation with Edward. I ran into him and apologized, he dazzled me and then when I walked away he stopped me and was about to say something, then he changed his mind and walked away." I say and Demi sighs.
"From what Aro has said Edward is the only one unmated…. I think the reason he acts weird around you is because you two are mates." He says seriously and I pull in on the side of the road.
"Are you serious?" I whisper barely audible and he sighs.
"Yes, I think you are both his singer and his mate. His eyes are almost always black around you, right?" I mumble in agreement. "And he looked like he wanted to kill you last time you saw him?" I agree again. "And this time he was polite but odd." He states and I agree again.
"But I've only met him twice…" I say and he sighs.
"Do you want me to come and be there in case something happens?" He asks and I hesitate.
"No, it's fine. Edward won't hurt me." I state and he chuckles darkly.
"If you trust him that much… you are definitely mates." He says and I sigh.
"Maybe." I mumble and then there's a loud boom on Demetri's side of the line.
"I have to go sis'. Felix and Jane are fighting again." He says hurriedly and I chuckle.
"Bye Demi." I say and he mumbles a quick goodbye before he hangs up. I take a deep breath and then I continue driving home.
