Chapter 13: Run into the Sun
I groaned as I heard my phone ringing next to my ear. It was a Saturday morning and I was really looking forward to sleeping in. But as always, the universe was against me. I grabbed my pillow and placed it over my head hoping that they would stop soon. I sighed contently as it finally stopped ringing after the fifteenth time. I was about to drift off to sleep when I heard 'Five Minutes to Midnight' playing on my desk. It was my cell phone. Why did I have to pick a rock song? Whoever was disturbing my sleep was going to get it.
I threw my covers off me angrily and picked up my cell phone. I was the one person you didn't want to mess with in the morning. I was a very irritable person. I looked at my clock on my wall. It was eight-thirty in the morning!? I flipped open my phone. "What?" I answered angrily.
"Jude?" A beautiful velvet voice asked.
"Tommy?" I asked surprised.
"Good morning," he greeted. I could tell he was smiling on the other end.
"Good morning?" I asked appalled. "It's 8:30…in the morning! And not only that, but it's Saturday. You know what I like to do on Saturdays? I like to sleep to at least noon. That was my plan. I liked my plan. You ruined my plan. That makes me cranky. When I get cranky, people get hurt."
"I'm sorry," Tommy chuckled.
"No you're not. If you were sorry you wouldn't be laughing."
"Girl, calm down. I wanted to ask you something." I stayed silent. "Would you still like to see what happens when I get into the sun?"
I smile danced on my face. "Yea, I would love to!"
"Then I'll be there around ten."
I walked to my window and sat on the seat. I looked out. "Um, Tommy, it's cloudy outside," I informed him.
He laughed lightly again. "It'll be sunny around noon."
"How do you know? They haven't shown any weather in weeks since they fired that guy."
"I have my own private weather channel. I'll see you later Jude."
I scrunched my face up in confusion as I closed my phone. I looked outside again. It wasn't rainy but it was very dark. There was no way it could be sunny today. It would have to be a miracle of some sort. I decided to get ready anyway. I took a shower and felt the hot water loosen my tighten muscles. We had finals all this week and I was stressed. The steaming water felt wonderful. I stepped out of the shower with a green towel wrapped around me. I walked into my room and screamed when I saw Edward there. I put my hand over my mouth hoping that Stuart wasn't home.
I saw Edward smiling at me in amusement. I raised his eyebrows as I saw him looking at me intently. I looked down and remembered I was in just a towel. I ran back to the bathroom and put on my PJ's and walked back in. I had wondered how Tommy had gotten in. I knew for sure that the door was locked. Stuart never left it open; especially when I was home alone and sleeping. I stared at Tommy for a minute. His eyes were completely gold which meant that he had a very good hunt yesterday.
I figured that out on my own too. I felt so smart for finding things out. When his eyes were black, that meant he was hungry. But when they turned back to their original topaz, he had eaten. Or, in this matter, he had drunk. "Um…" I started as he sat on my bed.
"Hey Jude," Tommy greeted in a sing song voice.
"How did you get in here?" I demanded. Tommy opened his mouth but I interrupted him. "And don't tell me you used the door, because I know it's locked."
Tommy sighed. "Are you sure you can't read minds?" He asked smiling.
"No, I can't read minds," I smiled back. "A lot of people are just…easy to read."
We laughed when I mimicked what he told me earlier this year. Tommy pointed to the window. "Through there."
I looked out. There was no way he could've done that. The only way to climb all the way up here was the tree next to the house. But the only branch leading to my window was almost eight feet away. "You didn't jump from the branch did you?" I asked in pure concern.
"No. I just…jumped from the ground," he shrugged.
I looked down at the ground than back at Tommy. "You mean you can jump that high?"
"All of us can. So, I decided to come here early because the sun is actually coming out around ten and it's already 9:30. Which means you should hurry and get dressed."
I nodded my head. "Okay."
Tommy smiled a wicked smile and I stared at him in confusion. Suddenly I realized what he was thinking. "Get out, you pervert!"
Tommy laughed and it sounded like chimes. "Alright, I'll be at your front door in exactly thirty minutes."
I saw he hop out of the window and land safely on the ground. I got dressed and met Tommy in his blue viper as he took us to a place he liked to call his solitude. I really had no idea where we were going. I didn't really care. I was just so excited to see what would happen to him in the sun. I just hope you didn't blow up or anything. I looked out the window. I was getting use to all the green here.
I looked towards Tommy and saw him looking at me. I pointed to the road. He knew I hated when he didn't look at the road. Of course, I knew he wouldn't crash or anything, but it still scared me a bit. We finally made it to this dirt road and he parked his viper next to a path going through the forest. "Tommy, if we're going on a hike, I'm not too good at those," I notified him. He just laughed and opened my door for me. He held my hand and led me to the beginning of the path.
"You won't have to hike," Tommy said. My eyebrows knit in confusion. "Climb on my back."
"Are you sure?"
"Have faith in me, Jude. I am much stronger than I look." I hesitantly got on his back. "Now, hold on and don't open your eyes. I'm going to be running pretty fast." I just nodded in response and buried my face in the crook of his neck. I was waiting for us to move but I didn't feel anything. I was getting impatient. Then I heard his voice echo in my ear. "We're here, Jude."
I opened my eyes in amazement. "Did your feet even touch the ground?" I asked laughing.
"You see that opening through the bushes?" Tommy asked me. I nodded. "Go through there. I'll be right behind you."
"Okay," I replied quietly. I went through the opening as told and was in total awe. This was the beautiful meadow from my dream. The sun was shining above us brightly and reflected off the grass. The flowers overtook every inch of the meadow and the birds were chirping. It felt like I had just stepped into a fairy-tale book. I shield my eyes with my hands as I looked up to see baby robins getting fed by there mom. I smiled at the sight. I saw Tommy at the entrance, still in the shadow. He seemed a little hesitant. I smiled at him. "Show me," I said.
Tommy nodded his head and stepped into the sun. My jaw dropped and my heart skipped a beat in amazement. "Wow."
