Once I got home, I immediately went up to my room and fell on my bed, pulling up the covers. There were so many thoughts running through my head… I almost didn't know what to think.
One of those many thoughts… was just the Cullen's in general. There was something about them… Not even their appearance, which I'll get to later. No, something about their atmosphere. See, I was usually very… uncomfortable around people. But they had this essence that made me feel so at home. Like there was nothing to worry about.
And then there was Edward. He couldn't read my mind. Why not? I'm glad it's this way, of course. My mind is so… unusual. It's mine, and I don't want it violated. I would hate for someone to be able to read my thoughts.
Another thought, why wasn't any of this weird to me? I think I read too many comic books when I was younger. Watched too many Sci-Fi movies. Ever since I've seen how interesting life could be, everything else was just so boring. I'd always just felt like my life should be different. I've always been waiting for that thing to happen that sets me apart.
And lastly… The powers that the Cullen's had couldn't be the only thing. There had to be something else. The way they looked… I can't explain it. I can just tell. There's something else that's… different about them. What is it? What the hell could it be? I guess Edward would explain tomorrow.
And when I woke up the next morning… I couldn't help but wonder if last night was a dream. I would've sworn it was real. But it seemed so distant, and out of place. Once I was up for a few minutes, it hit me. It was real. It had to be. Though distant, it was so clear.
This is a random thought, but it needs to be documented here. When I woke up, I remember wishing I had dreamt. I wished I had a dream that explained something to me. I hadn't had a dream in two years, though. At least not that I remember in the morning.
Anyway, I quickly got dressed- jeans and a tight green t-shirt, nothing fancy. I brushed out my hair and put it up in a ponytail because I didn't have time to do anything else. Brushed my teeth, and put on a sweatshirt. That's when I saw the Volvo outside.
I told my dad I was going out with a friend and I'll be back soon as I ran out the door before Edward could knock. No one needed to know who I was going with. I guess it's stupid, but I wanted this to be just me. Just my thing. I don't want my family to know anything about the Cullen's.
"I could've come to the door." Edward chuckled as I stepped outside, and he opened the passenger seat door.
"I know." I smiled at him when I got in.
He followed my lead by getting back into the car and driving off. "So is there a reason you rushed out so quickly?"
"Maybe… I can't tell you though. You'll laugh at me."
"I won't. I promise."
"I just… I kind of want this all to stay a secret… I don't want my family to know you… They'll ruin it. They just will."
"Hmm… Is that so? I'll have to keep that in mind."
"So where are we going?"
"You'll see."
