Hey, I'm sorry it's been what seems like forever but here it is chapter 5.
I don't own twilight as much as I would love to be in it.
I didn't get any sleep that night replaying what Edward had said over and over in my head, it sounded wrong like something bad was going to happen, the way he stared at me with those eyes full of anger and lust made with shiver from head to toe. There was something different about him like he was hiding something and I was determined to find out, I asked Jacob about him sensing he knew something I didn't, "there is nothing you need to know about that cold one" he said looking away from me. Cold one caught my attention, why would he say that I needed to look into this, "I will protect you from him" Jacob had said to me before giving me a hug and then left.
I woke up the next morning thankful it was a Sunday so I could stay home and do some research into this 'cold one', I did my morning routine and hurried back to my bedroom. Charlie was working all day so I had peace and quiet which was soothing after the weeks events, I grabbed my laptop and started looking up what it could be. After a few hours the same thing kept popping up but it was an impossible idea, but the more I read the more it made sense. His eyes, his skin and the way he seemed to appear out of nowhere drew me to my answer….Vampire. The idea still sounded crazy in my head but I knew there was something different about him and I knew he was dangerous and I had to stay away from him.
I had made my decision, I had to stay away from him I didn't want him anywhere near me or my dad or Jacob again. I needed to show him I'm not afraid of him and that there would never be anything between us and that he had to leave me alone. I decided to get an early night so I would be nice and refreshed in the morning ready to confront Edward before school, I had dinner with my dad and had a nice relaxing shower and snuggled into bed falling straight to sleep. That night I had the strangest dream like someone was watching me as I slept, I woke up a few times and checked my room but nobody was there, I put it down to nerves and went back to sleep.
I woke up nice and early so I could get to school before the bell to get the Edward situation out of the way so I didn't have to worry any more, it was frightening me how much I was thinking about him and if he was a vampire. I had a quick breakfast and ran out of the door waving goodbye to my dad, I made it to school with 20 minutes to spare, I had parked up near the entrance so I could get away quickly if anything went wrong. I got out of my truck and started looking round for the golden eyed boy who I spotted across the parking lot near the entrance to the woods. I felt my nerves go crazy but as I started to walk towards him my confidence rose and by the time I reached him I felt strong, he went to touch my face but I pushed his hand away feeling the coldness making the word vampire scream in my head.
"No more Edward, this is the end you have leave me alone" I started looking deep into his eyes filled with fury and sadness "I will never be yours, I belong with Jake who will protect me always" I finished and stalked off to class. The day continued as normal, my classes went smoothly even the one's Edward were in although I could still feel his eyes on me. I was hoping he had got the message but in the back of my mind I kept thinking what the worst an angry vampire can do is, and did I really want to know the answer. My last period was a study break so I decided I would just go home, at the end of class I walked to my locker to get everything, it felt like I was being followed but again I put it down to my nerves.
I reached my locker and heard the hallway empty as everyone was now in class, I shoved a few books into my locker and slammed the door shut and jumped out of my skin, not because of the bang but because of the person behind the door. "How can you say that and just walk away, after the other night I thought we were friends" I heard Edward growl with black eyes glaring at me, "Edward I said all I needed to say to you, the other night was nothing, sorry" I said staring straight into his eyes so he could see I meant what I said. As I was about to walk away he grabbed my arms and pinned me against the lockers staring fiercely into my eyes "I'm not scared of you Edward" I whispered softly enough for him to hear me, "you should be Bella I will never leave you" I heard him growl in a lower voice but something in his eyes told me he wouldn't hurt me. I couldn't take my eyes from his it was as if he was trying to tell me how much he needed to be near me and how protective he was of me.
"I want you to come to dinner with me tonight, I will pick you up at 6" and with that he let go of my arms and walked away leaving me speechless. I stood there in shock for a few minutes not knowing what I should do, a part of me was scared what he would do, if he was a vampire he could kill me. Then there was a part of me that wanted to see if there was anything more that he did that fit the profile of a vampire so I was 100% sure. In a daze I made my way back to my truck and managed to get home, I had decided to go to dinner to see if things could at least be civil between us, also I wanted to check my theory. Every time I thought of those eyes I couldn't help but soften and feel a pull towards him.
I quickly had a shower and decided to wear a simple blue dress with flat shoes, I left my hair wavy and let it cascade down my back. I didn't want it to look like I had made much effort to give him false hope, and the flat shoes were if I needed to get away from Edward. At 10 to 6 I heard the doorbell ring and charged down the stairs not wanting Charlie to answer the door, unfortunately my feet had a different idea and I tripped down the last few steps landing hard on my arm. My dad came running in hearing the bang and helped me get up, he noticed there was someone at the door and opened it to a tall, pale, young man, "Bella are you hurt?" I heard Edward say as I turned to meet his eyes seeing concern and fear in his eyes, was he worried about me? "I'm sorry we haven't met, I'm Charlie Bella's dad, and you are?" I heard my dad ask behind me, "I'm Edward, I am taking Bella on a date" I heard him reply in a smooth sultry voice.
"What happened to Jacob, I thought you liked him?" my dad asked looking at me a bit confused, "I'm still with Jake dad" I quickly stated taking a sly look at Edwards eyes which were full of anger, "me and Edward are just friends going hanging out" I finished not wanting to look at Edward afraid of what I might see. Feeling the awkwardness I said a quick goodbye to Charlie and hushed Edward out of the door closing it sharply behind me. As soon as I did Edward grabbed my arm examining it "does it hurt?" he asked now gazing into my eyes "no it's fine just a bit clumsy that's all" I replied putting a smile on to reassure him. It was dark now in Forks with a slight breeze which made the night air refreshing as my hair blew in the wind. At that moment I felt Edward stiffen on my arm and quickly let go, he looked really uncomfortable and his eyes were black and staring at me intently. I started to have second thoughts, the word vampire screaming loudly in my head, was this a risk I was willing to take, but no matter how much I wanted to turn around and go back in something kept me next to him.
He guided me towards the car and we both got in while in an uncomfortable silence which continued all through the journey, we arrived at a small Italian restaurant on the outskirt of Forks. We walked into the restaurant side by side and I could see him trying his hardest not to touch me, we were greeted by a cute young waiter who showed us to a booth near the back. We sat down and ordered drinks, this is my chance I thought, and I need to see if my theory is right, "What are you thinking about?" I heard Edward say as I looked up to see his eyes staring at me, "Well I was just thinking why you wanted to go to dinner with me?" biting my lip as I asked feeling nervous. "What you said to me hurt, I thought after the other night things were good between us and then you told me to leave you alone" he paused now taking my hand into his, the coldness sending a shiver through me. "I can't let you go, I told you I have been waiting for you for so long that I can't lose you and I needed to show you the real me" he finished waiting for my answer.
Perfectly timed the waiter came over and asked for our order, I ordered a Carbonara but Edward didn't order anything, "Are you not hungry?" I asked, "no I ate earlier" he replied looking away. This further fuelled my suspicions of him being a vampire and decided I needed to ask him something to catch him by surprise, "how old are you Edward?" I asked staring straight at him, "I'm 17 Bella" he answered with a grim look on his face. "How long have you been 17?" I whispered still holding my gaze, this seemed to take him by surprise, his mouth opened then closed, but then let out a sharp sigh. "A while" he replied in low deep voice, "do you know what I am?" he asked in a more strangled voice as though he didn't want to hear the answer. "A vampire" I whispered softly, "are you scared?" he asked, "I don't know" I said now looking away, "what do we eat?" he asked sharply in a low growl. "I want to go home" I whimpered starting to feel terrified thinking back to the times he hurt me and how easily he could've killed me, I got up and walked out of the restaurant not knowing what to do, should I call Charlie? Jacob? Should I walk? Edward had followed me out of the restaurant, "Bella please don't do this, I can't lose you and I would never ever hurt you" he pleaded grabbing my arm. "Edward I can't do this, I need to think" I said tears starting to brim in my eyes, "you terrify me but I can't stop thinking of you, you became this sweet, kind boy and touched my heart" I said softly not wanting to turn round and look at him.
"Bella…..I'm so sorry, I will take you home" he said calmly and took me to his car and we both kept silent on the way back. We reached my house in no time and we both sat there not knowing what to say, "Please Bella, you are the one I have been waiting for, I need you" he said cupping my chin wiping away the tears from my cheeks. I looked into his eyes and could see how much he loved me but I didn't feel the same did I? "Edward I don't know what to think anymore, you've turned my life upside down, I need some time alone" I said still staring into his eyes, then in no time his lips were on mine kissing me softly. I couldn't help but kiss him back, yes I did like him but I was with Jake, at that thought I pulled away and got out of the car. I kept walking towards the house when out of nowhere Edward was in front of me "I'm not giving up on you" he said firmly and then he was gone. I went inside the house said hi to my dad and then went up to my bedroom and collapsed on my bed and went straight to sleep.
I woke up the next morning feeling rough but I managed to drag myself out of bed and jumped in the shower and got dressed for school, I grabbed a quick breakfast and said goodbye to my dad. I made it to school just as the bell rang so I quickly ran to class not noticing Edward was standing watching me, I made it to English and took my seat, and luckily the teacher was late. I saw Edward walk in and sit down on the table next to me, I couldn't look at him, I was so unsure about my feelings. The teacher walked in shouting at the class to get their attention, and that's when I first saw him, he was tall and good looking and had a tempting smile, "this is James Dale" and with that he pointed to the seat next to me. I took a quick glance at Edward and saw he was stiff and his eyes were black with fury, was it something to do with the new guy.
Did he know James?
Hope you all enjoyed this chapter I will try and post the next as soon as I can. Remember to review I makes me work faster.
