Chapter 3
Bella's POV
I decided to skip the next few days of school. I needed the time to rest my mind, crazy thoughts were running through my head at every second of the day, leaving no time for school work. I spent most of the time in Seattle, shopping. Since Forks was so small, I came here when I needed my daily dose of retail therapy, even though it was depressing to not have anyone to shop with. One Thursday night, I started to get ready for the coming day. I picked out my out, bright and cheerful as usual, pondering how I was going to get through the day without having to be anywhere near Edward. I only knew that he was in my English class, the first one of the day. The thing I would have to find out was if he was in any of the others. Sighing, I made my way over to the back door. I was desperate need of fresh air, just thinking about tomorrow had my anxiety acting up. I walked up to the garden that completely overtook the backyard. Flowers of every kind were going between the bushes and ferns. Trees loomed over everything, creating darkness in most parts. This was where I went to get away from life.
I was in a meadow. My pure white wings, like a swan's, spread out behind me. Out of the corner of my eye, there was a movement. My breath hitched. I looked towards the movement and saw Edward. Huh?! His eyes were bright and understanding, with so much emotion behind them. I looked down fast. I couldn't believe what I was wearing! A spring-time dress in front of present company, with my wings out! Was I mentally insane!? Edward bent down to pick a flower, then came to put it in my hair, all the while a lite breeze was blowing. He was completely unfazed by my wings, as if he didn't even see them. I just gawked. He said something I couldn't hear and for some reason I giggled. It wasn't even me doing it, I didn't even here him...it was uncontrollable. He grabbed my hand and started pulling me along, I could feel myself smiling the whole time...
I woke up in the garden, a light sheen covering my skin. It was still dark out, maybe around one in the morning. I slowly go up; that must have been the weirdest dream ever. I hobbled over towards the door, letting myself in. I shuffled over to my room, thinking about the dream. It seemed so happy and carefree, something never present in my life. I crawled under the covers, the warmest feeling I couldn't understand surging through me.
