"Oh, Edward, I see that you have so much to learn about me."
"You've got that right." Edward said. And he led me off to his room.
Chapter 5!
As I entered Edward's room, I was dumbfounded. I could only imagine a messy, untidy room that most teenage boys would have, but this room was neat, clean, and organized. I found shelves and shelves of CD's, Tan walls, and very modern furniture. I guess that that would be expected from such an amazing guy like Edward.
"You like it, don't you?" he mused.
"Uh… Yes. Very much." I stammered.
Edward relaxed and fell on to his bed. I guess he was relieved that I liked his bedroom. I scooted myself over to the couch.
There were a few moments of silence before Edward spoke up.
"Bella,"
"Yes, Edward?"
"You know when you said that you actually felt happy to feel wanted, what did you mean by that?" Edward asked.
"It's rather hard to explain, actually. I'm having trouble remembering things." I whispered.
"That's normal, just try your best."
"Okay. My childhood wasn't that great. I lived in phoenix with my parents until they got divorced when I was about two years old. My dad moved to Washington, and I decided to stay with my mom in Phoenix. I was your average little kid then. But that didn't stay true for long. When I was about 12, my mom met this man named Phil. Phil was an alcoholic, and somehow he got my mom to drink, also. My Mother would come home very late at night, and very drunk. She would bang on my door until I came out and then, it would only get worse from there. I'll spare you the details. Finally when I was 18, and a legal adult, I ditched Renee and went to live here, with my father, Charlie. He never really paid any attention to me. So, to answer your question, with you, and Alice and everyone treating me so warmly, I feel wanted." I said.
"That's… so sad, Bella. I'm truly sorry." Edward told me.
"You don't need to feel bad about anything. It's alright. That's just who I was. Now I think that I finally get this vampire thing. It is a new start of my life."
"Yes, Bella, it is. Just as you are a new beginning of my life, and I intend to keep you there forever," Edward murmured.
I was so amused by this man standing in front of me. He wanted me to be in his life, forever. Now that made me feel wanted. I felt… loved. Maybe it was just my own emotions going out of whack.
For a while we just stared at each other. Slowly, but suddenly, I started to inch closer to him. After I noticed I was gravitating toward him, I suddenly stopped and tried my best to stay put.
"What about you, Edward? Tell me about yourself."
"Oh, well, there isn't much to tell. I actually don't remember a lot of me, either. That happens to vampires though, so don't fell bad. I do remember that when I was human, I had a passion for music. I still do now. My parents were Elizabeth and Edward Masen. I lived an average life until in 1918, when I was 17 years old. Spanish influenza hit the town I was born and raised in, Chicago. My whole family caught it, and that's when Carlisle came in. He tried to nurse us back to health, but unfortunately my parents died. Right before I died, Carlisle turned me into a vampire. Ever since then, I've tried to live like a normal human, even though I know I am no such thing." Edward said quietly.
"Do you ever regret changing?" I wondered aloud.
"Sometimes it's rather hard to live like this. When you think about it, I am supposed to be dead. I was lucky enough for Carlisle to have changed me. Before I met you, I sometimes did regret becoming a vampire, seeing all of the happy couples just being with one another, being happy. I was always the odd one out. I felt like I didn't have a purpose in this world. But, when Alice had that vision of you and me, my outlook changed. I became happier knowing that I had a chance to love, and, hopefully, be loved."
"Wow, Edward, that's, so very-" I started.
"I know, Bella. You don't have to say anything." His smooth, irresistible voice said.
There was quite of an awkward silence between us. "Have you ever had a girlfriend?" I accidentally blurted.
"Oh, no! Wait. You don't need to answer that. Sorry. Forget that I asked." Dang! I felt so stupid.
"Bella, that's okay. I've never had a girlfriend. Many girls and guys-don't ask, have asked me. I haven't been interested. And no, I'm not gay."
I quietly giggled. "That's a relief," I muttered.
"What about yourself, if I may ask?" Edward asked politely.
"I actually don't remember, but I wasn't that pretty when I was human, so I probably haven't ever had a boyfriend before." I quietly muttered.
"Bella, don't say that. I thought you were gorgeous when you were human."
"Why didn't you actually come and tell me that?" I said a little louder than I should have.
"Bella, this is very complica-" He started.
"Edward, you've just told me I was a vampire! Isn't that complicated enough? I can't believe that you would-"
"Okay, okay. Bella, calm down, Ill tell you. When you were a human, I did in fact think you were the most amazing person I've ever laid eyes on. I couldn't go near you because your blood had the most distracting and welcoming smell. I wanted so much to drink your blood, so if I went close to you, I wouldn't be able to control myself. I didn't want to kill you at all. You were too precious to me then, and now."
I just stared at him for about the thousandth time today. He just admitted that I was precious to him. Goodness, he was a gift from god.
A few seconds later, I felt that gravitational pull that was pulling me toward him. This time, I couldn't stop it.
"Uh, Edward?"
Edward saw it too. He stared at me while I was inching closer to him. It looked like he was trying to decipher something. After a few more moments, his smile grew as wide as a whale. "Bella, I think we've just discovered a power of yours."
"Power? Vampires have powers?" I was shocked.
"Yes. That's why Alice can see the future, and I can read minds."
"Oh! That's what you were trying to tell me before."
"Yes, I think we should take you to Carlisle before you get too attached."
"Okay." Going to Carlisle. That didn't sound a tad bit scary.
"Bella that was supposed to be funny." Edward said with that breathtaking smile upon his flawless face.
"Ha, ha ha. Are you sure your dad will be okay with this?"
"Yes, He was expecting you to come, actually. Don't worry Bella, everything will be fine."
Oh my gosh. I am SOOOOOO sorry that I haven't updated in forever and a day. I will try to update a lot faster, but I've been bombarded with schoolwork, and with marching band abducting my life, there is no promises. Thank you for reading. Review if you have time.
