The Angel

I couldn't move no matter how much my mind told me to keep walking. It was in fact screaming at me, urging me to keep away from the voice at all costs. If so, then what was stopping me? Perhaps it was my desire to actually believe that in this harsh and cruel world, that at least one person cared for me. You know, actually concerned instead of being so wrapped up in their own careers and lives to notice the tattered person walking right by them. The sound of the melodic voice was as if it was spoken from an angel. Perhaps it was telling me not to run? Instead of running from my fears and rejection that I have received almost all of my life, there was no reason to be so careful.

"Wait" it beckoned once again. If this angel was telling me to embrace this and not step down, was it telling me that I did belong somewhere, and that all I had to do was tough it out here?

I was anxious to see this angel, this angel who told me to embrace life and be happy. Then again, wouldn't this angel know that the odds were simply always against me? That no matter how hard I tried, my efforts were useless, and every time I moved a weight from my shoulder ten more came to replace it?

As I turned around in a cautious matter afraid that any sudden movement would scare the angel away, I found none. No one was behind me, I was now going crazy I thought to myself.

"Um, I wanted to apologize" this time I turned around in a haste to get sight of this angel, only to see Edward Cullen a few feet away from me.

I didn't know what to think at first, was Edward an angel? Then the recognition of his words sank in. He was apologizing, he was actually apologizing to me, as if it mattered to him that my feelings were hurt. I was awestruck at first, I couldn't gather my thoughts.

As strange as it sounds his hate filled eyes that he had given me the honor of receiving no longer mattered. I couldn't place if it was his appearance, soul, or fragile eyes that gained my trust, but he did.

Then again, was this merely forced upon him by his siblings? Did he still truly resent me?

He spoke again "I am terribly sorry, is there any way I can make it up to you?"

Though I couldn't help but recall the instant pang of regret flash across his eyes once the words made its way out of his mouth.

I know it was stupid, but curiosity got the best of me. "Why were you so rude, I was only trying to find a place to eat, I can understand if my presence…"

"As I already told you, I am terribly sorry, you just caught me at a bad time, and the moment I saw the hurt on your face I had to make sure you were alright." His words flowed out of his mouth cautiously as if he was editing his words before speaking them.

Though his words were sincere, I was overcome with sadness and strangely giddy at the same time. For realization hit me, these were the kindest words that I have received from another person, and yet they were scarce.

My lip quivered, and he no doubt he noticed.

He stuck out his hand very gently to give me a tug on the arm, "come, I will walk you to your next class"

My heart suddenly started pounding like crazy, due to the fact that this angel like creature was actually touching me.

He then startled me by looking at me with horror written all over his face, and quickly let go of me coming to an abrupt halt in front of the exit.

"Did I hurt you?" He asked staring at me as if he thought I was in need of rushing to a hospital.

"No of course not" I replied with an impish grin.

He stared at me quizzically as if he couldn't put something together in his head, then started to walk.

His stride was as expected, graceful. It took me two steps each time he took one to keep up, and then I realized, how did he know where my class was?

"How do you now where my next class is?" I stared at him diligently as if he had a secret to tell.

"Well, you see that in your hand Bella? It is a book, and by simply looking at that book, I can tell what class you have next, for there is only one teacher for each subject." He spoke the words slowly as if I was incoherent, and then started to grin when he saw the disapproving look on my face.

"Ok, so I guess that takes care of even having to tell you my name" I smiled as I spoke, looking down at my binder which had my name written all over it.

"Why yes it does… here we are!" He answered then beckoned to Alice who was gracefully strutting towards us.

When she finally got to us which didn't take as long as I thought it would, she gave me pat on the shoulder, "did he apologize to you, you must forgive Edward, he was on his man period at the moment, please excuse his rudeness."

Edward playfully shoved Alice, and started heading into the class, then pausing a second to turn and look at me. "You are coming aren't you? I wouldn't want you to be late to our class."

"Our class?" I questioned him.

"Why of course, you don't think that I would just walk into a class that's not mine do you?" He replied smiling playfully at me.

A/N: Ok, chapter was short I know, they will get longer I promise! I am just in a time jam at the moment!
