Selena's POV
I sat by Eric for what felt like days. I didn't feed, I didn't move. I called Alice and asked her when he would wake up and she didn't know. So, I waited. I looked out the window and heard my phone vibrate. I flicked it open.
"Hello?" I asked.
"It's Alice." she replied.
"Is there anything new?" I asked anxiously.
"He should wake up in…3...2...1" she said and I heard a loud gasping.
"Selena?" he asked panicked.
"I am here." I replied.
"Where?" he asked.
"Beside the bed." I replied touching his arm.
"I can't see you." he replied.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"I mean I can't see you. All I see is black." he replied and my eyes welled up.
"Selena?" he asked again.
"Yea." I said quickly.
"Do you still love me?" he asked closing his eyes.
"Of course I do." I replied smiling.
"Carlisle." I whispered knowing he would hear me.
"Yes?" I heard him reply.
"Can you come up here?" I asked and a second later he was in a chair beside me.
I looked at Carlisle's handsome face and broke down.
"Selena? What is the matter?" he asked me telepathically, knowing full and well I would hear.
"Eric can't see." I replied.
"What do you mean?" he asked.
"I mean he is blind." I replied.
"It is only effects of the drug." he replied and I let out a sigh of relief.
"Selena?" he asked looking dead at me.
"Yes, Eric." I replied.
"I can see you." he replied with a smile.
"Good." I said climbing in the bed beside him.
I heard faint footsteps and knew that Carlisle was gone.
"Eric, I love you so much." I said burying my face in his chest.
"I love you, too, Selena." he replied stroking my hair.
I looked up at Eric and saw that his eyes were changing colors. They went from a deep green to a bright ice blue.
"Wow." I whispered.
"What?" he asked.
"Your eyes change colors." I replied.
"I know." he replied simply.
"Why do they change?" I asked.
"It is because I am a Breed." he said pulling me closer to him.
"Wow." I replied.
"Yea, I think it makes me look like a freak." he said laughing.
I looked up at Eric again and smiled to myself as he started to fall asleep. As I looked back at the wall I heard him start to snore. I let a burst of laughter escape and woke him up.
"Wha?" he asked.
"I'm sorry. I woke you." I said stifling a giggle.
"What's so funny?" he asked.
"The look on your face." I said between hysterics.
"My face doesn't look funny." he pouted.
I leaned over and bit his bottom lip and smiled as I got and walked to my closet. I riffled through the clothes until I settled on a pair of Black and Red Tripps, a Lucky Thirteen baby tee, and black combat jumper boots. This was very casual dress for me. I looked over at Eric and threw him a pair of my Black and Blue Tripps.
"What are these?" he asked appalled.
"They're Tripp pants." I said with and incredulous look.
"Why did you hand them to me?" he asked studying the chains.
"So you can put on pants." I said as I finished tying my boots.
"You can go to Ronan and Talon for a shirt and boots." I added with a smirk.
"I will look ridiculous!" he yelled.
"No you won't. Just put them on. You will see." I replied walking out of the room.
I walked downstairs and looked at Ronan and Talon. Ronan was wearing a pair of Black and Purple Tripps and a Meshuggah tee. Talon was wearing Black and Neon Green Tripps and an Avenged Sevenfold tee, they both had black combat jumper boots on. I heard thumping on the stairs and knew that Ronan had already set a shirt and boots out for Eric to find. Eric appeared on the stairs wearing the Black and blue Tripps and an Apocalyptia tee. All four of us looked like freaks. Talon, Ronan and I all loved Tripps and on occation Victor would wear them too.
"Wow, you look good, Eric." I said looking him up and down.
"You too." he replied looking at Talon and Ronan.
"I think we are ready to go to school. Do you?" I asked my brothers.
"Yep, we are ready." Talon said laughing at the expression of mock horror on Eric's face.
"What is it with you three and Tripp pants?" he asked studying Talon, Ronan and I.
"You could say it is a fetish we have," Ronan replied. "You should see the secret room in Selena's closet. It is filled with nothing but combat boots, Tripps, band tees, and everything else a weird Gothic kid would need."
"Talon, why did you feel the need to do that?" I asked.
"Well it is true." he replied.
"I know." I replied turning and pulling my keys of the hanger by the back door.
We walked through the backyard to the garage that stored everyone's extra cars. I opened the door and walked over to the silver Dodge Charger. I looked at Eric and laughed.
"Let's go, freak!" I called across the room.
"Coming!" he yelled back.
A unlocked his door and cranked up the car. I sat for a second listening to the purr of the engine. I sighed and threw it into drive and peeled out of the garage. I was rummaging through the CD's and found my Skillet CD. I popped it into the CD player and turned it to Yours To Hold. I looked at Eric and smiled as the lyrics started to play.
I see you standing here
But you're so far away
Starving for your attention
You don't even know my name
You're going through so much
But I know that I could be the one to hold you Every single day
I find it hard to say
I could be yours alone
You will see someday
That all along the way
I was yours to hold
I was yours to hold
I see you walking by
Your hair always hiding your face
I wonder why you've been hurting
I wish I had some way to say You're going through so much
Don't you know that I will be the one to hold you I'm stretching but you're just out of reach
You should know
I'm ready when you're ready for me
And I'm waiting for the right time
For the day I catch your eye
To let you know
That I'm yours to hold
I'm stretching but you're just out of reach
I'm ready when you're ready for me"
I looked at Eric and he was smiling like an idiot.
"What?" I asked.
"You have a nice voice" he replied.
"Thanks" I murmured.
"No problem." he replied.
The day flew by and before I knew it we were in my car and heading home. As I drove I began to think about taking Eric to the farm in Texas. I turned onto Goldmine and finally pulled into my driveway. As I got out of the car I could hear Eric trying to stifle a laugh.
"What is so funny?" I asked.
"Nothing." he said walking into the house and into my room.
I ran up the stairs at vampire speed to see Eric sprawled across my bed shirtless. I dumped my books on the floor and walked to my closet. I pulled out a pair red silk pajamas and went into the bathroom. I changed my clothes and joined Eric on the bed.
"Hey, do you like horses?" I asked out of the blue.
"Yea, why?" he asked surprised by my outburst.
"Well I was thinking that maybe we could go riding." I said drawing a complicated Celtic pattern on his chest.
"That sounds like fun." he replied.
Eric's POV
I was going horseback riding with Selena. It was going to be great.
"So where are we going to ride." I asked.
"We, my love, are going to Texas." she replied.
"Why?" I asked stupidly.
"We have horses there." she replied with a giggle.
"Really?" I asked.
"Yep." she replied popping the 'p'.
"Sweet." I said thrusting my fist into the air.
She laughed at my gesture and I laughed with her. I was excited. I hadn't been horseback riding in years. I was bouncing on the balls of my feet while she got the saddles and bridles.
"Please say that you are a western rider." she said.
"Yea." I replied giving her a 'duh' look.
"Ok, geez, I didn't know if you did or not." she replied shaking her head.
"Well, now you do." I said with a chuckle.
"So are you ready?" she asked throwing a saddle bag over her shoulder.
"Hells to the yeah!" I shouted.
"Ok, cowboy, let's go." she said turning and walking out the door.

Selena's POV
I walked down the stairs with Eric trailing behind me. It was hilarious to see him so excited about going riding. I was excited about taking him down to the farm in Texas. So much so, that I was going to ask Edward and Bella to go with us.
"Hey, Eric?" I asked.
"Yea?" he asked.
"How would you feel about you mom and dad going with us?" I asked.
"That would be cool. Mom likes animals. After all she was friends with a dog." he laughed.

Bella's POV
I was sitting in the dining room with Edward and Carlisle. I was so happy to see Eric happy. Edward was too, even though he would never admit to having a soft side. I can't believe he has ended up as stubborn as me. It was amazing. All of a sudden I heard footfalls on the stairs followed by Eric's excited chatter.
"That would be cool. Mom likes animals. After all she was friends with a dog." he said.
"Alright, I will ask." Selena replied.
I heard the footsteps draw closer and then I saw Eric kiss Selena out of the corner of my eye. I smiled. They were so much like Edward and I.
"Mrs. Cullen?" I heard Selena ask.
"It's Bella, dear, and what do you need?" I asked.
"I wanted to know if you and Edward wanted to come with us to my farm in Texas for a few weeks." she said.
"You really wants us to come," Edward asked. "Even though I tried to drive a wedge between you?"
"Yes, Edward, we do." she said with a smile.
"We would Love to come sweetheart." I said.
"Wonderful." she said and walked back upstairs.
"She is going to get two more saddles, Mom." Eric said before trailing upstairs behind Selena.

Selena's POV
After I had asked Eric's mom and dad if they would join us, I headed back upstairs to grab two more saddles and bridles. I was excited that I would get to know Bella somemore, but I was scared too. What if she didn't like me. The next few weeks were bound to be interesting.
The next chapter will be the trip to the farm and the first day. I am gradually introducing Edward and Bella into the story. I am hoping you all enjoyed this chapter. Please read and review. TwilightConfessions
