Chapter Ten: An impossible decision

Mira had been released from the hospital that morning and was late to school with a note from Carlisle. She walked into class and went and took her seat by Shay. "I have the biggest headache." she grumbled.

Shay raised an eyebrow. "What happened to you yesterday? Edward told me you were in the hospital but he wouldn't tell me why."

Mira looked at her confused. "You talked to Edward?"

"Well...yeah a little. Jasper invited me over to their house yesterday. He's my partner in health class."

Mira chuckled. "Eh something with my head. I don't know really...hey you know that Josh kid that just came here?"

Shay was quiet for a moment. "What about him?"

"...well let's just say I'm thinking you were right about a few things..."

"So you're going to stay away from Edward?" Shay asked.

"Well...no...I don't know..."

Shay just stared at her for a moment. "It's dangerous for you to be around the Cullen's Mira."

"I know that damnit...I wish people would stop saying that. What's the point of staying away anyways? Most likely the more I try and stay away from them the more something odd will happen to keep me close to them."

Shay rubbed her head. "Just try okay?"

"Fine..." Mira didn't say anything the rest of class and she had skipped lunch. She was tapping her notebook with her pencil when Edward came into the classroom. He paused when he saw her and thought about sitting somewhere else. Instead he went and sat next to her anyways. Neither of them said anything to the other and Mira sat upright in her seat.

Edward glanced at Mira. Is she ignoring me? If so...why? He decided to make the first attempt at conversation even though he wasn't supposed to. "How are you feeling?"

"Fine..." she said quietly looking at her notes.

"How did you get to school?"

"Motorcycle…"

Edward frowned. "I don't think it's a good idea to be driving that thing after…what happened…"

"I don't see why you don't just say it. Something in my head snapped making me sick and Josh took advantage of that and bit me, end of story." She turned a page and saw the drawing she had done of Edward. It was now finished.

"Because it's not right to say…" he wasn't sure what to say or do at the moment.

"What's wrong with talking about it? It's not like it's forbidden or anything." She glanced at him. "Or is it?"

"I'm sure it would be better if we didn't talk about it in public."

"So he wasn't lying then…" she looked back to her paper.

"About?"

"…You…about why you're dangerous…"

"Oh…well…I'm not really supposed to talk to you…"

"Carlisle doesn't want you to does he?"

"Why do you think he said that?"

She sighed. "Because he seems very protective of you…"

Edward wanted to tell her it wasn't him that Carlisle was being so protective of. "Mira you don't understand…"

"I understand a lot more than you think. But I'm not supposed to speak to you either. So I suppose I won't…" she carefully ripped out the paper from her notebook and set it in front of him. "You can have it…"

Edward felt oddly sick. He didn't know why but he just didn't feel well. He wanted to say something, but what was the point? "Mira…"

She didn't say anything and wrote their homework from the board down. She had said she wouldn't talk to Edward and she always tried to keep her word.

Edward couldn't help it he had to say something to her. "I know I'm not supposed to talk to you and I'm not supposed to tell you…but you're not human Mira. At least not completely…and if you don't want to talk to me that's fine, but I just think that we should still be able to talk no matter what everyone else thinks. Although I AM dangerous, I won't deny that fact…but I would be disappointed if I could never speak to you again."

"But as you said, just because you want something, doesn't mean you should have it…everything will be better after we stop talking…"

"If better is being lonely I would rather things get worse and keep the company. But I understand…" he said softly looking at Mr. Banner.

Mira didn't want Edward to think that she was mad at him, but honestly she didn't know what to think anymore. And what had he meant by she wasn't human? As much as she wanted to know, she decided to just leave the whole subject alone and act like nothing happened. When class was over she got her things and headed straight for her locker. Mira didn't plan on staying the rest of the day; she was in no mood for gym.

Edward sighed and just sat there for a few moments before getting his things together as well. He headed straight for his Volvo when Alice came walking up to him. "Hey…"

"Hey…so you knew she was Carlisle's daughter the whole time?"

Alice nodded. "That's why I couldn't tell you Edward. Carlisle needed to tell all of us himself. You can't tell the others until he's ready to say something."

"So I can't talk to anyone about anything…"

"You can talk to me." Alice offered quietly.

"No offense Alice…but there's no point when we both know there are things that you're not telling me…" he crossed the parking lot and saw Mira drive off on her motorcycle. He shook his head and got into the Volvo.

Alice sighed; she wanted to find some way to make Edward happy without putting their family in danger. She thought for a moment. "You know…Carlisle said you couldn't talk to each other am I right?" she asked getting into the car.

"Yes…what are you getting at?"

"Well…you can still talk to her through your mind can't you?"

"No…I'm lucky if I can get one word from her that way…"

When Mira got home she changed into a tank top and shorts and headed out into the backyard. She had decided to hang her punching bag from a tree branch. The ones in her backyard were old and large, so the branches gave good support. She put on her weight lifting gloves to provide a little protection to her hands and started to take her frustrations out on the punching bag.

Alice opened the door to the house for Edward. "I don't know what to tell you then…"

Edward passed Carlisle on the way to his room and the two said nothing. Alice stayed downstairs and went to talk to Jasper only to find that he had a very annoying mechanical baby and had brought someone over. Apparently it was that time of month in health class when they had to take care of the damn things. Alice poked one and it started to cry. She jumped and hid behind Jasper. "That thing is creepy."

"Tell me about it." Jasper grumbled.

Shay chuckled and picked up the baby. "It's not THAT bad, really loud though…" she flipped it over and popped open the back turning it off. "Thank god you can shut it off."

Jasper chuckled. "Good thinking."

Edward set his bag on the floor and went to open his window. He blinked when he saw Mira. He hit his head on the window sill. It seemed as if the world hated him lately. Although, it did make sense that she lived next door if Carlisle was the one moving her around. He wondered just how long she had been living next to him. He wondered how long he had not met this person that made him happy. How long had she been right there and he had never known it? Just how long...
