Sorry for the extended absence, but like I explained in the previous author's note, I had no inspiration, I couldn't work out how to do the shopping trip. So I came up with a solution... I shan't tell what it is, but you'll find out soon enough! Well, the thing is, I then came up against two problems...
1) My computer mysteriously deleted the first half of this chapter which I had already written
and
2) I was grounded (In my household, that means no TV, no stereo, and worst of all, no computer, meaning no !)
And my social life has also been hectic. Feel free to scroll past this part, I'm just offering a little explanation. Well, we've been choosing the subjects for next year, sitting loads of exams, shuddering at the prospect of having to put condoms on bananas in PSE (Personal and Social Education), and that's just schoolwork. I dumped a guy on Monday, who has been acting like a crossbred Jerk/Lovesick Fool, and I got a new boyfriend, who's bi. but I love him to pieces, so I have to deal with all the homophobes who think I'm setting myself up for heartbreak, but they're wrong, Andrew isn't like that, and I shall stand by him no matter what. Now before this turns into a huge rant about homophobia being wrong, ON WITH THE STORY!!!
One more thing, though... I SHALL UPDATE ANY STORY WHENEVER THE HELL I GET INSPIRATION!!!
If I owned Twilight, I wouldn't let Edward leave )o:
Chapter 6 - The Ground Wins
I settled, contented, into my seat, and resigned myself to the smooth ride. I realised we were going much too fast, but I didn't care.
My eyes drooped and I let them close, completely forgetting all about my problem with sleep talking...
Edward POV
"Edward..."
I swear I jumped out of my skin when I heard her mutter my name. I continued driving, but my utter attention was on the innocent girl beside me.
"Hmm?" I asked her, wondering why she said my name.
"Osuwaru..." She murmured. Huh? This made no sense. Sure, I got the quote, it was from InuYasha, but why did she say it? Slowly, almost imperceptibly, I turned to face her. Oh... She was asleep. I'd forgotten about that habit. I allowed a tiny smile to take over my features, as I thought how peaceful, how vulnerable she looked in sleep, and I felt the sudden urge to protect her. I shook my head furiously. Where were these thoughts coming from? I sure as hell didn't know.
I was brought out of my musings by the girl in question coming out with more sleep talking, "Eddie, don't let the sheep eat Inu... His ears are too cute for him to go splat... And Kaggie will be sad... Please? Don't you know puppy eyes when you see them? Oh well never mind... Those jays sure are purdy... They're like, puffy... Do you remember when you proposed to me? It was the happiest day of my life..." She sighed, and fell silent.
I couldn't believe what I just heard. Her happiest memory was when I asked her to marry me when we were SIX!!! Then it hit me. Literally. The last thing I remembered before falling unconscious was a green motorbike losing control and sending Bella, Jasper, Alice, my Volvo, and I spinning round and round.
Rosalie POV
"Grr, where are they? They're wasting valuable shopping time!" I grouched.
"Sheesh, chillax Rosalie, it's just shopping." God, my boyfriend could be really insensitive at times...
"JUST shopping? My wardrobe hasn't been updated in a week, I think I can afford to be a tiny bit annoyed."
My phone went, so I answered it with a snarl.
"What?"
"Rosalie Hale?"
"Yeah, that's me. How the hell did you get my phone number?"
"Your number was on Mr Hale's mobile, alongside Mr and Miss Cullen. Miss Swan didn't have you on her phone, but we assumed she knew you."
'Knew'?
"Quit the chatter and tell me what's going on!" I admit I was getting kind of worried.
"Your friends and brother were in Mr Cullen's Volvo. The motorbike was travelling at 100 miles an hour. Sadly, they collided. The good news is, they're all in stable conditions, but they're all unconscious, and Miss Swan has injured her leg. Also, we've discovered scars on Mr Cullen's wrists. His father is very worried about him. It'd be appreciated if you'd get here ASAP." All this was recited, as if the woman did this every day.
"Emmett, we're going to the hospital."
"Huh? Why?" Stupid, thick, adorable boyfriend...
"SHUT UP AND DRIVE!!! I'LL TELL YOU WHEN WE GET THERE!"
It's not very long, and I'm a little rusty, but oh well... I thought it'd be a good cliff-hanger, and also to actually update this story after god knows how long. Like I said at the opening A/N, I'll update any of my stories when the inspiration hits me.
Co:
I know I don't deserve it after such a long break and such a short chapter, but it'd be much appreciated if I could please, possibly get one or two reviews? You'll get a virtual cookie if you do! I'm not asking for much, just one or two... I'll be quiet!
Now for a mini scene! (bit of Death Note added, don't read unless you've seen episode 25 or hate spoilers)
Edward: How dare you abandon this story?
JHISH: How dare you leave Bella?
Edward: How dare you compare the two?
JHISH: How dare Raito blackmail a shinigami into murdering L?
L: *noms on sugar-cubes* Hmm?
Edward: ¬_¬ meh...
JHISH: HA! Nothing to say, have you? YOU GOT PWNED!!! *happy dance*
L: There is a 73.09% chance you are behaving rather strangely, Author-Sama...
JHISH: *sticks tongue out*
Edward: *sweatdrops* Hey, L, want to skip?
L: Can I refuse to wear socks?
Edward: Ch'yeah, like, totally!
L: YAYZ!!! *links arms with Edward and skips off into distance*
JHISH: *cries* I feel so alone...
Bella: You're not alone there...
JHISH: *perks up* YAY!!! FRIEND!
Bella: o_O
