Chapter Two: Summer Love
You were mine for the summer
Now we know it's nearly over
Feels like snow in September
But I always will remember
You were my summer love
You always will be my summer love
Wish that we could be alone now
If we could find some place to hide
Make the last time just like the first time
Push a button and rewind
Don't say the word that's on your lips
Don't look at me that way
Just promise you'll remember
When the sky is grey
Cause you were mine for the summer
Now we know it's nearly over
Feels like snow in September
But I always will remember
You were my summer love
You always will be my summer love

I woke up early the morning after Natalia left the note for me, light too bright for Forks shone through my window and I ran to it with foolish hope that it would be a nice day. The road was slicked with deadly ice and my rusty old truck had a blanket of snow covering it, groaning I grabbed my towel and prepared for the day to come.
"Bye, Dad" I called out as I walked out the front door, I heard a faint cough from the lounge room, poor Charlie was home sick with the flu. "Feel better!" I yelled as I fumbled with my keys to unlock my truck, not sure if he would be able to hear me. I balanced my foot against the gutter to reach over and put my bag on the passenger seat so I could get into my car when the my shoe slipped on the ice, sending me hurdling for the ground. I half expected myself to be caught before I hit the ground, as I usually was, but that expectation was cut short when the pain in my palms let me know that I had scraped them.
Wincing, I started up the truck and pulled onto the slippery road, driving slower than normal. As I hit the highway, a blur in the forest on my left caught my eye, it looked like a dog, running along side my car - which shouldn't be possible, this wasn't what made me lose control though, the dog was staring at me, head turned and staring straight at me through the window of my car as he dodged trees and shrubs. I looked back at the road in front of me in time to see that I had driven completely off the road and was heading straight for the forest line, screaming, I jerked the wheel and tried to regain control of the cab, which only made the tires skid more on the icey road. The last thing I remember before I passed out was the screeching of metal as my truck flipped itself and the sticky feeling of blood rushing down my forehead.
-.- -.- -.- -.-
Fire licked a course through my body, first setting my arms on fire, then my neck, my legs, my feet, and finally centering around my chest. I screamed as the fire burst through where my heart was. Why had no one stopped this? Am I still in the truck? Am I dying? were the only coherent thoughts that I could form before the burning cut off anything else I may have wanted to think about. The last thing I remember before blacking out is seeing Edward behind my eye lids, his perfect face, his hair, his beautiful eyes, my savour. I focused on his face until I couldn't feel the fire at all.
When I came to, it seemed as if all of my senses had been sharpened, I could smell things I shouldn't be able to smell, hear things I shouldn't hear, and I could sense things that I had never been able to sense, like the fact that there was someone standing next to me, they were tense and smelled absolutely horrific.
