Chapter 14
Edward and I were running back to our house hand in hand. We were leaving Forks for awhile now and I knew that I might never see it again for a long while. I did want to talk to Jake and he did have a good point. Charlie should know that i am a vampire, yes it would surprise him, and yes I am scared that he won't love me anymore, but there is a chance he will be okay with it. His two step kids that he seems to really love are big bad werewolves so what could go wrong?
I couldn't wait to get back home though, to see Carlisle and Esme my parents, Alice, Emmett, Jasper, Rosalie, and I get to spend that time with my husband- wait no I meant boyfriend! But Edward felt like much more to me that just for the word "boyfriend" to grasp our relationship. Hold on one moment- was I refering to the Cullen's as my family again? I had just told myself a moment ago we were going to our house.
I gasped as this as I started to realize it the more I thought. "Bella, what's wrong?" Edward asked pulling me from my thoughts, bringing me closer to him as I snuggled into his side.
"Something just surprised me, that's all." I tried to say confidently, but it came out sounding a bit frightened.
"What was it that surprised you." I looked up to see Edward looking at me, his brows pulled together in confusion.
"I just realized that I was referring to your house as our house. I have been thinking of everyone as my family again and I feel selfish forgetting about my coven... Edward, I am scared because I don't think that I know what I am doing. I am in the wrong place, not were I belong anyway." I in a rush. Edward gave me his famous crooked that made my knees go weak.
"Bella, you have been thinking of them as family again? That's wonderful! But what do you mean you don't belong? We all love you so much you know that you belong with us."
"Exactly! I belong with you, not my coven. I have not only been thinking of your family as mine and don't tell they are because I get that, but I just have been thinking of you and every time I do... I never call you my boyfriend." I said shaking my head still trying to make sense of it all.
Edward pulled away from me a bit so he could look into my eyes. We had come to a stop. He looked in my eyes searching for something and while he was doing this he was dazzling my. I never noticed but the gold in his eyes seemed to be swimming around like it was a pool of liquid gold. I was so lost in them Edward had to shake me a bit to get my attention.
"Sorry what?" I said a bit dazed.
"What do you mean... do you not..." He couldn't even finish his sentence, but he didn't have to I wrapped my arms around him and put my face into the crook of his neck.
"No, no I love you more than anything. I was going to say that I never call you boyfriend because I don't know what to call us. The word 'boyfriend' means so little. I call you my husband in my mind every now again and soul mate, but even that doesn't measure to how much love I feel for you." I pulled away looked into his eyes and leaned in and kissed him my lips molding to the perfect shape against his.
"I love you," Edward whispered, "And I never want to lose you ever." His eyes boring into mine. "You are always welcomed at our house. Esme and Carlisle would take you in less than a heart beat. Don't be afraid to called it your home and you are not selfish forgetting your coven. You have very good freind there... very good friends," he hissed, "But everyone moves on. I am not saying leave and never speak to them, just that I think you have to find yourself again."
"I know who I am. I am Isabella Marie Swan, and I know where I belong. I belong to Edward Anthony Mason Cullen." I said putting my hands on my hips.
Edward laughed and wrapped his arm around my shoulder and we started walking. "Yes," His cool breath hit my neck just below my ear as he was placing kisses along my neck, "You are mine." he said seductively and I shivered, closing my eyes losing my footing a bit. I felt him smile against me and laugh a little pulling away.
I whimpered against the lost of contact and he kissed me softly on the lips, but I could still feel all his love for me in that one little kiss.
"Okay." I said simply opening my eyes leaning my head against his shoulder.
"Okay what?" Edward asked.
"Okay, I will move in with you." He turned to me and gave me that look like a little boy would on Christmas getting the best toy in the whole world. Next thing I knew my feet were off the ground and I squealed. Edward was planting kisses all over my face, feeling electricity spark between us every time his lips met my face.
"Stop teasing." I said as he was kissing the corners of my mouth. I put my hands around his neck and pulled his face to mine so out lips touched and I smiled. Edward put me down and we started running again hand in hand.
"So when are you going to movie in?" He asked casually.
"I don't know, are you sure you have enough room for me." I looked at him concerned.
He scoffed in disbelief. "Of course we do, we have three other guest rooms. Not that it matters, you room will be my room and Alice will use one of the guest rooms as a brand knew closet for you. Trust me everyone will be so happy, really our family is always happiest when you are around. You should move in as soon as possible." He swung our arms between us ask we skid to a stop about to break free from the forest to his house, excuse me our house.
"Well I don't think i should until school is out. That way we don't have to answer questions to people. How long will we stick around this place?"
"I don't know, usually its until we all graduate so about two more years, why?"
"I don't know just wondering. Okay, well I should get going, goodbye." I reached up and pecked him on the lips. "I love you."
"I love you to." He was still holding my hand as I was about to head off and I turned back to him and he pulled me back to him so I was against his chest. He put his hand around my neck and brought my face to his and I closed my eyes as our lips touched for a passionate kissed. Our tongues danced for about five minutes when we pulled away and he rest his forehead against mine.
"Please, be careful." His sweet breath floated around me like a cloud and suddenly dazed. "I can't lose you. I don't trust Rickey."
I bit my lip nervously. "I will, just trust me when I say I love you and only you."
"I know." He said grinning.
I turned to leave as Edward smacked me in the butt. I turned around to glare at him, but he was already gone as I hear the door to the house close. "Stupid vampire speed." I mumbled to myself.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOo
When I got back to my house I was talking to Alex, Scarlet, and Brandon about the whole trip. How it went, what we did, there wasn't much to really tell though, but they seemed to be hoping for more of a story.
"So is Jacob cute?" Alex asked and I had to laugh.
"He's attractive, no doubt about that, but he isn't my type." I said back.
"Well he can be my type." We both started cracking up.
I turned on the radio having nothing to do and the song Moves Like Jagger came on from Maroon 5 featuring Christina Agulara. I started singing along and Alex and I started dancing and laughing at how ridiculous this was and sat on the couch. We kept talking about how we could decorate this one room in the house into a game room and how much the guys would like that.
"Oh! We need a Wii an X box and everything." Brandon said from the kitchen where him and Scarlet were arguing over something I wasn't really paying attention.
"Sure thing I will get on that." I smiled at him.
The front door suddenly slammed shut and Rickey was right in front of me. "You. Didn't." He said right in my face. Way to kill a happy mood Rickey.
"What the hell are you talking about?" I said standing up from my seat on the couch. He grabbed my hand and I saw his eyes look like they glazed over for one second like it usually did when he was looking for answers.
He dropped my hand his eyes looked angry and hurt. "I can't believe you. Just get out of this house." He turned around to leave and I grabbed him by the arm gently to calm him down a bit and to tell me what was going on.
"Rickey, please tell me whats going on." He still wasn't looking at me still.
"Your leaving." He said sadly. Oh my gosh, how did he hear about this. Everyone gasped in unison. I dropped my hand and looked down ashamed.
"Yes, but not yet." I felt everyone's eyes boring into me like daggers. "I am sorry I was going to tell you soon. I am not going to leave until graduation comes. Hear me out please. You have to understand why." I looked back up and everyone looked so upset and a bit angry.
"That isn't even the worst part." Rickey said turning back to me and if he could cry he would be. He looked like I had just taken everything from him. "You are leaving with him." He growled the last part.
"Rickey,we knew this was going to happen at some point." It was Brandon who talked this time.
"You know that I love you all, but I don't belong here. I just don't... fit in. You are all very good friends to me, I need my family though. Look at yourselves! All of you in this room are a family. You lean on each other for help and when one of you is sad all of you are you would all die for each other. I don't have that here. We all know it and honestly I understand and I don't feel hurt." I smiled. "I will miss all of you and I will just be moving out, but I will most likely be here till senior year so I will see you and visit form time to time when I leave."
"We understand, Bella. I would leave to if the rolls where switched." Alex smiled at me. It wasn't a happy smile thought. "I will miss you."
"I'll miss you to."
Everyone except Rickey surrounded me at once in a hug. Rickey ran out the front door and I saw him through the window. He wasn't running yet more like jogging off the porch going towards the woods.
I pulled away from the hug and looked at everyone apologetically. "I'll go check on him." I ran to the front door to follow him. Just as he was about to enter the forest I grabbed his shoulder making him look at me. "Rickey, wait."
"Why, so that you can brag about how great Edward is. About him and his perfect family, apparently your perfect family." He said through his teeth.
"No, I just want to talk to you right now. I know what you were talking about with Edward." I looked down at my boots pretending that there was something interesting there, brushing off the sides like there was dust on them or something.
When I knew I couldn't stall anymore I looked up to see him. He was gazing at the sky squinting, not that he needs to he has perfect vision.
"Rick-"
"Bella, please don't," He cut me off, "I don't need an explanation. You love him." He sighed. "I wish it was me." I didn't know what to say so I just stood there awkwardly, hands in my pockets looking to where he was in the sky and he laughed.
"What?" I raised an eyebrow.
"There isn't anything there, well anything you would understand, just a star I like to look at. Nothing bright about it. Compared to all the others it doesn't stand out, but it has something special about it I like. Just like..." His voice drifted in the last part.
"Just like?" I prompted.
"Just like you. Always quite kept to yourself looking alone. Well at least that is how you used to be. I thought I knew you so well." He stopped staring at the sky to look at me.
"You do." I whispered. "You know the darkest moments of my life better than anyone. Except Edward of course, but that is a side I never opened up to someone about you know. And knowing my darkest moments and understanding them can help me so much. Knowing what to avoid so I am really happy and don't remember the bad times."
"Ya, well I would like to not dwell on that, Bella. You are great, amazing, and beautiful. I hope that Edward know that. Your personality can light up a room. You mean so much to so many people, like me. Bella I know I should have told you in person, but I love you and I think you are making the wrong decision. I can keep you safe and happy. You can look at me and not have to remember those dark times. With Edward you must always be hurt. Plus I can protect you more than Edward."
"In what way? And who are you to say Edward doesn't make me happy? Edward has protects me and I don't need some night and shining Armour I just need him. Gosh, both you and him! You guys always want to be there to protect me, but that is not what I need. I am in love with Edward not you. I love you, but not in that way."
"That's not good enough." Rickey whispered.
"Well you can either take what you can get or nothing at all choose your pick." I started was walking toward the house sort of angry. I am a vampire. I get defensive over my mate and I was about to rip is head off right then and there.
"Bella, please wait!"
"What?" I turned around and he was right in my face and he took my head in his hands in his and kissed me I tried to push him off of me, but he was so much stronger than me. My eyes were wide opened as I was freaking out and noticed that somehow we had gotten into the forest. I pulled away just far enough to yell.
"EDWARD!" As loud as I could. I didn't know how far away we were from the house. Rickey covered my mouth with his hand. I was scared. I broke free of his grasp and tried to run, but I guess some old habits are hard to break. I tripped over a rock, but quickly caught my self and jumped back up when Rickey grabbed me around the waist.
"Bella, I am sorry, but you need to know that I can do everything he can." I felt disgusted as he touched me.
"Let go of me!" I said. I don't know what he is planning, but I have to get away. He pulled me by my shoulders and held me against a tree that was slowly breaking from my struggling. His lips were an inch away from mine.
"Bella, you know you love me. I see what your doing, you want to play games, but I have to show you know that you love me you just have to let yourself." He crushed his lips to mine again forcing my lips to open and his tong started to explore my mouth. I was whimpering, still trying to break free. His hands were holding my waist keeping me in place. One of his hands started to venture up my shirt roughly. I couldn't let him touch me I couldn't! With as much strength I could use I pulled my face away from his and yelled Edward's name one more time, this time louder than the other. I had my eyes closed not wanting to look at Rickey.
Next thing I knew Rickey was off of me and I heard his body land about twenty feet away. I ran as fast as my legs could take me and looked back and saw Edward in front of Rickey. I stopped and stared at the scene unfolding before my eyes.
"Don't fuckin' touch her! Do you hear me! Your disgusting! Go near her again and trust me, you will be a pile of ashes within seconds." Edward hissed. He sounded terrifying even to me. Edward punched him in the face and it made a sound louder than thunder.
I was shaking I was so scared and shocked by what had just happened. Edward ran over to me and I jumped in his arms sobbing and buried my face in his chest inhaling his scent.
"I-I tr-tried to s-stop him, but he was to st-strong." I felt so safe in Edward's arms like it didn't even happen.
"I know, I know its alright your safe." Edward said running his fingers through my hair soothing me.
I'm safe, I'm safe. I kept telling myself.
