Dark Secret Love

Chapter 2

I sighed as I began to walk up my stairs to my bedroom. Eating dinner with Charlie is always very awkward now, he never talks to me anymore, I get the feeling he is really disappointed in me now. I wish he would just understand that I love Edward, and he loves me. We are meant to be together, and no matter how much he wishes I would leave him, I never will, cause a life without him isn't a life worth living. Just imagining a life without his beautiful face, his beautiful hair, his muscular body, and his loving personality, just makes me want to die. For me, the definition of life, and love, is Edward Anthony Masen.

I walked into my room, and closed my door behind me, and I walked over to my laptop, quickley signing onto aim, hoping to tell Edward goodnight, but when I signed on, he wasn't. So I sighed, logged off, and turn off the computer. I walked over to my bed, the bed that Edward and I have made love in countless times, and I crawled under the covers. I hate sleeping without Edward, he used to come up to my room on the weekends, and crawl into bed with me, but since Charlie walked in on us, we knew it was too risky for him to sneak in again. So therefore, I would be sleeping alone tonight, and for the many nights to come.

I closed my eyes, willing myself to sleep, but after an hour passed, I gave up. Its just not the same without Edward here. I sighed, and suddenly, there was a knocking sound at my window. It startled me, and I just, and very nearly screamed, but I stopped myself, cause I didn't want to wake Charlie up. I look over at my window, and for a second, I thought I had fallen asleep, and that I was dreaming, for at my window, what the love of my life, Edward. I smiled a wide smile, overly excited to see him. I got out of my bed, and walked over to the window. Before I opened it, I stopped to listen to Charlie's loud snores, and was happy when I heard them. I'm so glad he's a heavy sleeper.

I open the window, and Edward crawls inside. "Hi."He says. I giggle and reach up to kiss him with as much passion as I possibly could. He returned the kiss with just as much passion, and wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me closer to him, so there wasn't one part of us that wasn't touching. After a minute of this wonderful kiss, I pulled away, needing to breath. "God Bella, I've missed you so much. I can't stay away from you anymore. I refuse to let your father keep me away from you any longer."

"Oh Edward, I love you so much."I whispered against his lips. He gave me a quick peck, then pulled away, looking into my eyes with his oh so deep green eyes.

"Run away with me Bella. Please, we can't stay here anymore, there are too many people keeping us apart. We'll go to Seatle, I already talked to Emmett and Rosalie, and they said that we can stay with them until we get a place of our own."I gasped. It sounded like such a great idea, but also a very bad, and very dangerous idea. Its not that I didn't like Edward's older brother Emmett, he was like a big brother to me. And his wife of three years Rosalie was like a sister to me. That wasn't the problem, the problem was that Edward's parents are horrible, his dad abusive and an alcoholic, his mother a skank and a heroin addict. They are very horrible parents, but very protective of their children, Emmett, Edward, and Edward's twin sister Alice. Edward's parents knew how close Edward and Emmett were, and the first place they would look, was Emmett and Rosalie's house. I wanted to run away with him so much, but it was just such a bad idea. I didn't want to leave behind my friends, and although I'm really mad at my parents right now, I didn't know if I had enough strength to hurt them like this.

"Bella, I know this sounds really bad, but I think it could work. Seeing as my parents finally kicked me out of the house, according to them I'm useless, and the worst son in the world. They were really happy when I told them I would leave and stay with Emmett. But Bella, I don't want to go alone, please Bella, come with me. I promise it'll work out."I sighed, and looked down, and for a split second, I almost said no to the love of my life, but I couldn't, so I said ok.
