The movie was finished in a total of 29 weeks. It only got finished so quickly because I knew the story. I was packing to leave the Cullen mansion. Tonight was my last night here. I was going to force my parents to watch this movie. It was my new favorite, I wonder why?
The flight home was what I think it was 9 hours, right? I fell asleep. AGAIN! Ugh! Curse sleep…
When I got home my mom had pictures of the school and it's brochure was permanently shoved into my face by none other than my loving, caring mother.
"Fine I'll go. Under one condition."
"What condition?" my mother asked suspiciously.
"Edward comes too." I answered truthfully. If I was going to school. Someone I knew was coming with me, and not my mom.
"Fine."
I rushed to the phone and dialed Edward's number. After two rings Edward answered. "Hello?" He answered.
"Hi Edward!" I said as I made my way up to my room and sat on the edge of my bed.
"Hello Bella."
"Umm… I'm not going to be able to see you-"
"What, why?"
"Boarding school," I was having a lot of trouble accepting that I was going to be away from Edward for an entire school year. Who knew what Lindsay would do in my absence. We all know that she's a satan's spawn herself. Or like I said earlier, she could be married to him. Why would she be after MY Edward then? I know what your thinking, she loves making human beings' lives a earthly prison chamber for the heart-broken. Isn't it amazing with how much we can think of in one second?
"Oh, right."
"Unfortunately."
"Hold on, I'll be right back." I couldn't hear what he was saying, all I heard was feet pounding down the stairs. Then exactly 3 minutes later feet pounding back up the stairs. "Bella?"
"Yeah,"
"I have a surprise for you tomorrow."
"What?"
"Do you know why they call it a surprise? The other person isn't supposed to know what the surprise is. I'll see you tomorrow morning. Get packed for school." He hung up…
Well then I will pack, but not with anything more than necessities. Let's see, hairbrush, toothbrush, deodorant, clothes, a book or two. Wow I really missed my room in Hawaii… All the books, and the stereo. Ohhh. Maybe I can move to Hawaii someday.
"Bella! Come down here quick!"
I was pushed, unwillingly, back to reality. I ran down the stairs and ran into Charlie, knocking us both down. I recovered first, bouncing back up onto my adrenaline pumped feet. "Sorry, Dad!" I moaned as I helped him to his feet.
"Bells, I think you landed on my feet. There's going to be a bruise."
I was blushing at my stupid rush down the stairs. One time I would have liked not hurting someone innocent that didn't deserve my awful luck.
"What's wrong Dad?"
"Your paycheck, is what's wrong."
"P-paycheck?" I stuttered. When did I get paid for something, when. I had a job before the beginning of high school then I quit. I wasn't missing any money from my job. Did I win a sweepstakes? Not with my luck.
"The movie Bells!"
"What?! Uh! Those liars! They weren't supposed to pay me!" My dad read the check more thuroughly, and his eyes widened. By another centimeter.
"Your going to the bank. Now!" He was happy.
"Lemme' see!" I grabbed the check from his now singing with joy face. Let's hope he doesn't start singing… I forced my eyes open when I read the amount of the check. They had paid me, oh, about. "Oh my gosh!" $1, 573,000 too much! I didn't want the money. "I am not going to the bank for this! My acting isn't worth this much money!" I tumbled back up the stairs to my phone. When Edward answered. "WHERE DID THIS MONEY COME FROM?!!" I hissed.
"Maybe they thought you did a good job?"
"Hah! Me?"
"Do you know how many people buy a movie that I'm in? How much money a company gets? A company gets so much money, they practically hand it out to the actors. Well depending on the company…"
"A million five hundred seventy three thousand dollars just handed out?"
"Yes, I got $2,000,000."
"No wonder you family is rich, Edward!"
"Just go cash the check Bella. Are you packed yet?"
"You want me to leave?"
"Not without me… See you in the morning."
I was packed and ready to go. But I was so tired. I drifted off to sleep.
I dreamed that I was at the high school. Mike was walking towards me.
Hi Bella.
Umm… Hi Mike. Would you like to accompany me to dinner-
Excuse me Mike, I'll borrow Bella. It was Edward.
Bella you cant just go off talking to strangers without someone to protect you.
Mike's not a strange- I cut off as he leaned into me coming closer to my neck. R- I finished as his teeth cut into my flesh and a deep burning that felt like fire began. Edward started walking away. Everything besides us disappeared.
I'm so sorry, Bella.
No, don't leave. He turned to look at me.
Bella I'm too dangerous for you.
One question.
What?
Will you change me?
His eyes widened. No.
Why?
Because I love you, Bella.
I love you too! And I want to be with you forever.
No.
Then I felt the fire intense to my heart. My heart strained, trying to stay beating. I fell to the ground and felt a tear stream down my frozen cheek. I screamed in pain and fury as my love left me here to burn.
I closed my eyes.
Edward don't leave!
I felt a cold touch on my skin and opened my eyes to see him looking down at me.
Thank you. Don't leave me.
I wont ever leave you.
Now we can be together forever right?
Right.
I woke up sweating. What a dream. "Bella! Time to get up!" Charlie called from downstairs.
"I'm up!" I called back. I whizzed through the shower and getting ready. When I was ready to leave I walked to my truck and drove to the bank to deposit my check. The teller was very suspicious of all of my spontaneous money generation. Once I arrived home, I walked up to my room and got out a sheet of notebook paper and wrote down my dream in as much detail as I could. When I thought about it, that was how I had asked Edward to the dance. He wanted to talk to me and we had been alone. I couldn't help but shudder at the thought of him biting me. Then I remembered that he was a vampire. I never wanted to be a vampire… Well, I guess I just don't like the idea of drinking blood, especially when I faint at the smell of the stuff. I would make a lousy vampire. I didn't want to embarrass myself anymore than I already did. Fainting as a vampire wow… Wait, Edward said he couldn't sleep. Could they faint? If I was a vampire I probably could even if the rest of the vampire population couldn't. Supposing how different I was compared to the rest of the humans…
There was a light knock on the door. When I went to answer it, Edward was there. What did he want?
"Bella."
