a/n this chapter is slightly shorter than the others, but no worries, just because the chapter is small doesnt mean the story is LOL.

Chapter 6

Elisha's POV

I woke up this morning feeling cold, freezing in fact, I slid deeper into my bed when my alarm finally went off flashing 7:30am. Last night was a good night, no nightmares, so this morning I was pleased to feel refreshed. I groaned and started with my morning routine of showering, eating cereal and drinking orange juice. I didn't know what to wear so I just wore a plain white blouse with ¾ length sleeves and the same tight jeans from yesterday. I had my hair pulled up into a high ponytail again, it's very rare I go with my hair down, it annoys me when my hair falls in my face. Before leaving the house I threw on my timberlands and grabbed my bag with my white winter coat. I thought about Edwards weird behavior yesterday after H+S, but I just shook my head, he always behaves weirdly, what difference was there in him yesterday?

Although I was confused when we left the library together, even though it was for a minute before he stormed off ahead to sit on his usual table, alone.

Also I was becoming closer to Sophie, we still never talked much but we became lunch buddies and sat next to each other in the classes we shared. And today was no exception, Sophie and I sat at out usual table, both with soda cans and fruit salad. I'd look up every now and then at Edward, his face buried deep in another one of his books and a bag of cheetos, untouched. I don't thing I'd ever seen him eat, or drink, it was slightly strange. I'd watch him at the end of lunch, he'd always put his untouched lunch back inside his bag along with the book he was reading.

My class got let out early today, because there was a thunder storm, there were some students in my class who had a fear of thunder and lightning, so it was a little distracting. Everyone leaving a small 10minutes sooner I lingered behind, dawdling as I put my things away until even the lecturer left. Honestly I was hanging back hoping the weather would calm, but after 5 minutes it didn't. I may as well just go now or I'll be waiting forever.

So with my keys at the ready in my hand and a spare piece of paper in the other hand to cover my head 'though I know it wouldn't do much good at the rate the rain was pouring', I made my way quickly to my car, racing out the building, craving the dry and warm.

During my race I was annoyed to have stood right in a puddle, the bottom left leg of my jeans was wet but because I wore my timberlands my foot remained dry.

"bloody hell" I muttered to myself kicking my foot, hoping to shake it dry. I sat in my car putting on the heating first of all and then adjusting my mirror to see what I looked like. As I thought, a drowned rat, I cringed. It's a good thing it's the end of the day, I doubt I will get stopped by someone to have a conversation in this weather. I've always hated rain, especially heavy rain. I pulled my hair out of its ponytail and ran my fingers though my half dry, half drenched hair. I immediately jumped when I heard a bang on my window. I stared at the cause of the sound and I saw a human figure outside, but the condensation on the glass was clouded out who it was, so I opened my window.

"Edward?" this is strange…of course it's strange, it's Edward. He stood there soaking wet with strands of hair falling in his eyes and drips of water falling of the tip of his nose.

"get in" I said immediately closing my window not waiting for a response. Surprisingly, he did as I said. This boy just ceases to amaze me. With a slam of the door he dropped in the passenger seat, dripping everywhere, my poor car. I turned up the heating abit more but when I looked at him he took his jacket off.

"aren't you cold?" I question rubbing my hands together. He just shrugged and showed me his cheesy grin, this made me raise an eyebrow.

"no" he said simply. There were a few seconds of silence until it occurred to me that I didn't know why he was here.

"what do you want Edward?" I turned to him, he'd never speak to me at college unless it was unavoidable and today he's come knocking on my door…well window.

"well I was going to be a good friend and offer my tutoring services for tonight" he said it like it was more of a question. His behavior was something different from anyone's I'd ever known, he was either hot or cold and never anything in between. I have to admit this has caught me off guard, but at least he's not being ignorant or a jerk.

"friend?" I repeated his word with uncertainty in my voice. He just looked at me with a blank stare, almost as if he was trying to make an effort and I was smashing it.

"well, only for tonight" he said turning to look straight ahead over the car lot. Indicating the conversation was over, I reversed out my spot and we made a silent journey to my house.

Edwards POV

Well my finish from college didn't as I'd planned. I sat in a lecture with 5 minutes to go, I was determined to get out of class with seconds to spare before Elisha finished her class. The thunder storm outside had some girls in my class frightened, cowards.

I hadn't been able to forget about her since I sneaked in her house the other night. It was beginning to get to me, I couldn't get the image of her distressing nightmare out of my head, it was almost disturbing. I thought about it day and night, what could have caused it? What was she dreaming about? The biggest question being, why did she relax when I touched her face? A theory I thought of was that she had found comfort in it, but I didn't understand why. I assume I would find out in time, maybe the cause of her peaceful state after I touched her was just because someone was there in general. The presence of another person being there may have been what comforted her. Either way, I didn't know what to think or how to swallow it, so I decided to store the memory away and I would ponder on it more later on.

I still wondered if it was the right thing to do, was it wrong to take an interest in her life? I was curious, not being able to read her mind was really irritating me, but the thought of asking her all about her thoughts and dreams was just nerve wreaking. Not forgetting that deep screaming in my gut that told me not to do this. It's just going to cause a riot like last time, ruin lives. I pushed the feeling to the back of my mind, like I do every time it rears it's ugly head. Not that I'm selfish, endangering her life so I can have my own way and find out what goes on in that mind of hers. If anything goes wrong, I will just try harder to prevent it this time round, doesn't everyone say they love a challenge?

By the end of my class came the storm was at it's worse, thunder, lightning, perfect for baseball, but not today. I ran to Elisha's class, low spirited to find the room empty. But I could still smell her from where I stood and followed it out into the rain in the student car lot. Racing as fast as I could without looking super human. I saw her sitting in the drivers seat to her Ford running her fingers through her hair looking irritated. I approached feeling the rain had consumed me, but it didn't bother me much, it's not like I can catch a cold or anything.

When I'd knocked on her window she seemed shocked to see me, but either way invited me in her car and we drove back to hers 'to study'.
