Okay… sorry… Jasper left when Bella was sleeping sorry about the miscommunication! …
Edward sat down on the couch in the living room with me in his arms. I looked up from where I was cradled against Edward's chest and only saw Esme sitting across from us. She was fiddling with her fingers as if she was exasperatingly nervous or uncomfortable about something. After thinking about it for a moment, it came to me. Carlisle was still out there.
I looked up at Edward and he smiled at me sympathetically and shifted me so I was sitting in his lap and no longer lying. "Edward where's Carlisle?" I asked.
"No need to worry dear," Esme said faster than Edward could open his mouth. "Edward why don't you take her to your room so she can lay on the couch?" She asked more for my benefit, because Edward could just as clearly hear her thoughts.
Edward gracefully lifted off the couch and set my feet on the floor so I could walk. My body was too exhausted and was screaming at me to lie back down. Edward started walking forward and he soon noticed that I was not following. He looked at me curiously and reached his hand out towards me.
My knees threatened to give out, so embarrassed I whispered, "Edward will you carry me?" I felt my cheeks blush as he chuckled to himself.
"Of course my love" He said before gently swooping my body into his chest.
Before we could run up the stairs I looked around Edward's shoulder and didn't see Esme on the couch. I looked around for her and she briefly caught my eye standing on the front porch just as she had been when we arrived.
In half the time it would have taken me to sprint to his room we were already walking in the doorway.
Every time we enter his room it takes my breath away at how many CD's he has. The front wall is completely covered in rows and rows of music on shelves, as well as piles of them that littered the floor. As I looked at the room, something was blaringly different.
There was a bed with a royal burgundy comforter on top decorated with the softest gold and royal blue pillows, sitting in the corner of the room where his stereo used to be. I stared at it for a moment and looked over at Edward the question written all over my face. Edward can't sleep what would he need a bed for?
Edward was looking at me as if he expected me to start yelling at anytime. "Edward? Why is there a b-" I suddenly realized it. How could I be so stupid as to not figure it out immediately! I thought. But Edward knows that I couldn't move in with him with Charlie still at home. Oh my god! Charlie! I hadn't even thought about him today! What's he going to think when he gets home and I'm not there the day after Jake had been murdered?!
"Charlie," I whispered. Edward pulled me into him, giving me a hug, and lightly laughed. I looked up at him questioningly. Why was he laughing?
"Bella, you astound me! You come into my room and there is a bed that I obviously can't use and you think of Charlie!?" Edward was shaking his head and laughing at the same time now.
"No Edward, Charlie, he doesn't know where I am! He is going to really be upset, I have to go home!" Edward seemed even slightly more entertained than he was before. "Edward it's not funny!" I scowled at him trying to maneuver myself around him out the door.
Edward held up his hand and raised an eyebrow, "Don't you think that by now I would think about things like that?" I cocked my head to one side not understanding exactly. "Bella, it's all taken care of! Alice got Charlie to almost beg to have you come over!" He laughed with his whole body. I wasn't quite sure with what was funny but I giggled slightly just at how this was amusing Edward.
After he stopped laughing he explained. "Alice caught up with your Dad on his way to go down to La Push, and reminded him that you were home alone with a murder on the loose!" He laughed again. This time I joined him in the laughing just thinking of Charlie's face as Alice was gently explaining this to him, HA! Gently my ass!
Finally when we were done laughing I looked up at Edward and asked the question and had been biting at my mind since I walked into the room, "Edward why is there a bed then?" He brought me over to the couch, leading me by the hand, and sat me down.
"I think it would be best if you stayed with us awhile, while this is all going on." I couldn't even think of what emotion I should be feeling. Scared? Confused? Excited? Nervous? I couldn't even muster a complete sentence.
"Edward, Charlie-, he probably, he might not- no he most definitely won't- I don't think it's- I think Charlie won't-" I sighed in aggravation at myself. Why can't I just say it?
"You don't think Charlie will let you stay over here with me?" He completed my sentence for me. I blushed lightly and nodded. Watching his face for any of the same undecided questions I was feeling. "Bella, when I said heading down to La Push I meant for awhile." I nodded showing him that I understood. "Alice had a vision; he will be down there until Thursday." Oh my god! That was what like what? 5 straight days with Edward! I had to stop myself from jumping up and down, but that did not stop my smiles from coming fully to my face.
He smiled back at me, and said "I'm excited to," I got up from the couch and with my new found energy pulled Edward with me to the bed.
He gently picked me up by the waist and lightly threw me into the pillows. And gracefully jumped onto the bed careful not to land on top of me, I giggled at the thought of sharing a bed with him for 5 whole nights, but remembered that we did that every night. Why would this be any different? Edward snuggled close to me and kissed the tip of my nose. I smiled at my beautiful Edward mulling over the concept of sending 5 days with him.
Then it hit me again. The reason why I was lying here on this bed with Edward instead of back at my house doing homework or watching T.V. with Charlie. Jacob is dead. He's gone. And Charlie is down in La Push having no idea what he's up against. I could feel fear and tears swelling in my eyes. Sometimes I wonder how one person could possibly have this many tears in them. I looked up at a concerned Edward and gently said "Oh Edward! Jake's gone," And he kissed my nose again and pulled me closer resting his chin on my head before the tears made there journey down my cheeks.
"Bella, Bella, its okay now, Shhhh, I'm here with you, I'm here and Iwill never leave you." I wasn't sure exactly how to respond to that statement. He sounded like he was almost upset with me for being sad about Jacob. "No I will never leave you," he whispered into my ear. I let the comments pass for just being comforting and cried into my angel's chest.
How was it? Meh?.. I hope it was alright. Wanna know what Edward meant by those last little comments? Just wait then!
Review please… and if you have any suggestions on how to continue be my guest and give them to me! Please!
XOXO, Cat
