2. Thoughts
Bella's POV::
I laid on the floor beneath the stairs; shocked, angry, upset, frozen with fear. I had heard Jacob turn into a werewolf about 15 minutes ago, and tuned everything out after that. A few minutes later, I heard Charlie walking up the steps, I sighed and stood up, dragging my limp body to the couch in the living room. Not too much longer afterwards, Edward was at my side. I couldn't remember closing my eyes, but I had to open them to see his angelic face. He looked worried, deep in thought about something. I sat up and was in his arms in an instant. My face was pressed against the side of his face. I breathed in, his heavenly scent taking over my body. I sighed heavily and looked up to meet his gaze. I wondered if I meant the same to him now that I was a vampire as well. And why hadn't he been excited when I became one of his own kind? Surely he wanted to spend the rest of his existence with me? I bit my lip, the tears would have been gathering now.
"Of course you mean the same to me, Bella." I wiped my eyes out of habit and then gasped.
"What did you just say, Edward?" A new emotion flickered across his face.
"I said, 'Of course you mean the same to me.' You becoming a vampire hasn't changed anything."
It took great strength to keep my jaw from dropping. "Edward..." I couldn't finish my sentence.
He raised an eyebrow as another few thoughts rushed through my mind. Maybe I was crazy. Had I really said those things out loud?
"Yes, Bella. You really said them out loud." A small smile of amusement spread across his lips.
I shook my head but did not speak, I made sure I was only thinking it this time. I most definitely did not, Edward.
He sighed. "Yes you did, Bella."
I smiled. "Edward! You just read my thoughts."
He shook his head in protest. "No. We both know that's impossible."
I smirked and thought, Oh yeah?
"Yeah." Horror flashed across his face, then excitement. I bit my lip. This was bad. So many things ran through my mind that I didn't want him to hear, how was I supposed to control my thoughts? He would be so upset with me. I jumped off the couch and stumbled across the room. Please don't read my mind, Edward.
He just looked at me, stunned and confused.
Edward!
He didn't answer.
Can you hear me, Edward?
He stood up. "What wrong, Bella?" He couldn't hear my thoughts. He took my hand as I thought, Maybe he's pretending? He heard me before, why not now?
"You didn't say anything before."
I did.
"I'm not going to hear you one second and not the next." He took his hands away to place them on his hips.
Well maybe your power is phony. I put my hands on my hips as well.
He didn't answer. I shook his shoulder. Edward!?
"What?"
I let my hand drop. Answer me.
He just stared, still confused. "What?" he repeated.
"Edward, your gift is moody."
He smiled, but it didn't touch his eyes. "I think it has to do with the mysterious person I'm dealing with."
I sighed. Then it came to me. "Take my hand." He followed. I thought, I love you with all my heart, Edward Cullen. He smiled. "Now let go." He did as I said, though he seemed confused. I love you with all my heart, Edward Cullen. No emotion was in his eyes. I smiled happily to myself. "You can only hear me when you're touching my skin."
He raised one eyebrow. "That's not sensible, Bella." I could tell that he believed me, though.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Edward finally came to his senses when I proved to him various ways his gift worked when we were touching. The rest of the day was spent cuddling in my bedroom. By the time night rolled around, we were laying under the covers on my bed saying nothing. I'm not sure what Edward was thinking but I couldn't keep my mind off Jacob.
He confessed his love for me, how can he still love me? I'm a vampire, his enemy. There's no way he could still have those feelings. And now that Edward fought with him... Damnit! I don't even know if he's still alive!
"Edward!"
"He stirred next to me. "What is it?"
"Did you... with Jacob..." I couldn't finish my sentence.
"No." He seemed to know what I was trying to say.
Knowing that Jacob wasn't dead calmed me. I started thinking about him again.
Thank God Edward came in... What would I have said if Edward hadn't gotten jealous? I would have said I loved him too. I would have held him close to me and possibly kissed his cheek. Sure, Edward was clearly the only one for me, but I did love Jacob. He never hurt me; not like Edward had at least, and he was sweet and always there for me. How could I not--
My thoughts were cut off by a very fierce growling beside me. Edward stood from my bed and headed for my window.
"Edward?" Realization hit me then and I scrambled out of my bed. "Edward!"
"Stop, Bella." I stopped, halfway to my window. "I didn't realize..." he trailed off.
"I don't, Edward! You know you're the only one for me!" Shit. I had forgotten that he could read my thoughts.
"Bella, it may be best we take a break." With that, he was gone.
My jaw dropped and I fell helplessly to my knees. I cursed myself for letting my thoughts get the best of me. He was gone; my Edward was gone. I took a deep, cold breath. The darkness was swallowing me and I didn't bother trying to fight it. All I could think was 'he's gone'. I felt the wooden floor of my bedroom against my cheek and then everything was black.
