Questions Bring Love

Chapter 5:Different

"Impossible! You're here!" I cried loudly, showing every piece of despair I had inside. "You have always been here?" This was my main question and he knew I wasn't going to give up!

He didn't really seem to observe my presence. He was just staring at something in front of him. I turned my eyes towards there, curious to see what was keeping him so busy. Looking there, I only saw trees, plants, but looking deeper, I finally saw my father and his policemen friends coming right towards us. I looked back at him and I realized that, this time, he was looking at me, in my confused eyes. I sent him a full of desire look, trying to make him understand that I wasn't ready and I didn't want to leave him right there. He seemed to get the idea because he took me in his arms with a quick move. I didn't have time to react, to show any impressions, to look at him. He held me closer to him and I felt his ice-cold skin, so pale, and his stone-made body. Edward took me into the shadows, hiding me from my only family, but this time I was glad he did it. It felt great to know that, after some minutes, I will get the answer I needed and that was a very good thing.

"Bella!" My dad shouted. His voice was worried and full o fear. For a moment, I wanted to go out of the dark and give him a big hug. I was feeling the love I didn't share with him for so long, too long. My head had been full of stupid issues: working, crying, eating, working and crying again. Amazing way to spend my lifetime, my life sucked. The dogs and policemen returned to their cars, my dad wad worried and I knew I had to don this quickly, to change this situation. It was now or never.

I looked up at him. Edward's eyes were more relaxed now, secure, but his body was still frozen, like he was expecting an attack, something dangerous to happen, but nothing came and I became anxious to begin my interrogation.

"Edward!" I called weakly, hoping he will return at his human way of being. He answered my desperate call with a movement from his stone body, and I understood he was awake. "You have to answer me some questions!"

"I don't have to do anything for you!" his reply had been angry and frustrated.

My eyes began to stare at his perfect face, at his sparkling face and at his dark black eyes. Wait a minute, his eyes were like gold two years ago and it was now when I realized that golden wasn't a normal eye-color for humans. What was happening here? My journalist instinct and brain began to work and I ended up thinking that this was his natural eye-color and that 2 years ago he was wearing contacts and my stupid mouth began to speak.

"Hey, are you wearing contacts?" I suddenly felt bad for asking him that, but I really needed to know. It was too weird and weird stuff made me feel uncomfortable. His expression changed inhumanly fast.

"No!" his eyes were hard to read.

"Ok." I was really afraid now. His behavior was so strange and way too different from the one he exposed 2 years ago. I didn't get it. He seemed to have a battle inside of him. After five minutes, he looked at me.

"It has been a long time!" he whispered. I melted at hearing his incredible voice: so musical, so sweet, so strong, so kind.

"It's not my fault, you know… You never answered your phone. I called you a lot and…"

"I know." He cut me off. He knew? Then why didn't he answer my calls? He forgot about me? He didn't want to see me again? Edward saw my sadness, my confusion and took my hand, but I dropped it and took a step backwards.

"I won't disturb you anymore, I'm sorry I interrupted your walk…", but, after I said the word 'walk", my lips couldn't move anymore. Something strong was keeping them together, something powerful was forcing them to stop talking. That something were his lips, his soft and delicate pale lips, touching mine in amazing synchronization, talking without words, understanding without sounds, feeling without realizing. After a moment that seemed only a few seconds, his lips left mine and, until I opened my eyes, he was gone. Gone, gone, gone. After two years, he was gone.

"Not again!" I screamed. I felt tears coming out from my eyes. I couldn't bear it again. I felt my heart racing too fast and my eyes closed. Everything disappeared. I screamed at the new pain in my body and I felt two strong hands taking me away from the cold earth. I knew those cold arms and that made me smile through my tears. I knew it was different this time.

"Sleep, love, rest…" I heard a slow whisper and I listened to it. I feel asleep.

R&R please!
