To Wish Impossible Things
Chapter Four.

Edward Cullen.

September 2006.

I couldn't believe that this moment was finally here… it really was something that had been years in the making. For decades I had just wished for someone, someone to care for, and to maybe call my own.

And three weeks ago I had been thrown my lifeline… Alice's visions had showed me a girl telling me she loved me, and this girl was someone that was so perfect… that even my own one hundred year mind couldn't have pictured anyone ever more beautiful.

The idea of someone telling me they loved me was unbelievable, but I knew that I was still a long way off that point, and that I would have to earn that love.

But today I was one step closer because I was going to meet her.

We – me and my family - moved into Fork's just a few days ago, finding that the town suited us perfectly, just like Esme and Alice told us it would. I really enjoyed having the floor to myself that I was promised, as it allowed me to have some privacy away from the couples in the family.

Although I was already finding that hearing them together didn't bother me so much anymore… I didn't really tune in and instead spent the majority of my time playing my old songs on my piano and remembering what I'd seen in Alice's visions.

I had asked her to check several times to see if the visions were still clear… mostly for my own piece of mind, but also so I could properly see them for myself too.

Luckily, they had stayed exactly the same… none of them had altered at all. But at the same time, nothing new had appeared which did confuse me a little, but I eventually came to the conclusion that it was probably because I hadn't met her yet, so the other things that were going to happen hadn't become certain.

Not yet anyway.

Luckily my family continued to be very supportive which only encouraged me even more – and I couldn't help but wonder why I ever considered leaving them in the first place.

Rosalie was the only exception to that though, and made it a point to always visibly cringe or leave the room whenever Alice's visions were mentioned, but she hadn't said anything out loud yet, and I wasn't going to waste my time asking her what her problem was. Knowing Rosalie I probably wouldn't like what I would end up hearing anyway, so if she wants to tell me… I'll accept that, just so long as she doesn't try to ruin the plan in any way.

We were all currently sitting in the cafeteria on our first day at Forks high, blocking out the noise of the humans filling the room – most of them were gossiping about us the 'new arrivals', and to be honest, most of things they were coming out with was ridiculous.

According to some of them, we were on the run from the FBI… which was incredibly stupid. They couldn't be further from the truth.

My family were here for a number of reasons - for a fresh start, a new town they might be happier in, and the chance to go to a new school…

But me… I knew I was only here for her.

It had been a dull day so far at the school – I had searched through the minds of many of the humans trying to see if I could get a glimpse of her, but she hadn't appeared anywhere. I was suddenly worrying if she was even here at all… I know that Alice's vision had shown me and her in a classroom, but what if things had changed?

Just as I was seriously beginning to panic, I felt a wave of piece and calm wash over me, completely taking away my fears.

Relax, Edward. You're even making me stressed. Be happy okay? You've been waiting for this, – Jasper told me through his mind.

I nodded and tried to relax a little more, once again grateful for Jaspers power of mood control. I would be struggling if it wasn't for him… and Alice of course. I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for her visions… I would be off in some cave or forest alone, wallowing in my misery. And not here… waiting to meet her, the girl who might just change everything.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw Alice smiling encouragingly at me, and I smiled back, before going back to my previous task of looking around the room for her. Beside me my family kept up the act, and talked quietly to each other while pretending to eat the revolting food they had in front of them.

I continued looking, growing more desperate for a glimpse of her as time passed. It seemed like this room wasn't big enough for all the students and that everyone was moving about- it was hard to see across the length of the room. I turned my head away for a moment sighing sadly.

That was when I heard it.

"Who's he?" a soft, musical voice asked.

"That's Edward Cullen," – a voice that I recognised as belonging to Jessica Stanley, or in other words 'the biggest gossiper about us' replied – "he's the only one who's not with anyone, apparently he prefers to keep to himself. Isn't he gorgeous?"

I looked up then and followed the sound of the voices across the room… and then… I saw her.

And she was so beautiful.

I could see her brown eyes clearly, and smiled as I noticed she was looking right at me. Her expression was filled with curiosity and intrigue, clearly wondering who we all were and why we were here. She didn't know me yet – but I knew what she may just become to me. I could feel myself relaxing, and knew this time it wasn't because of Jasper… it was because I had finally seen her.

I couldn't wait to start talking to her… to see her up close and to find out everything about her. It wouldn't be long now… I wondered what she thought about me, but for some reason I couldn't quite tune in on her thoughts.

I had no time to consider why that was, when her idiotic friend Jessica interrupted.

"Oh my god, he's looking right at me!" she squealed, in an irritatingly high pitched voice, "do you think I should go and say hi?"

Please don't, please don't.

How had she got into her head that I was staring at her? Why would I?

I instantly turned my head away from their table, internally whimpering at the loss of seeing my girl. I just hoped that she didn't believe what Jessica said, and I continued to pray that Jessica wouldn't come over here… it would only lead to humiliation for her.

Luckily the other girl sitting next to her, who I figured out was called Angela managed to convince Jessica to wait a while before coming to talk to me – to give me a chance to settle in first. I laughed to myself – time wasn't going to make my reaction to Jessica any different.

And then when Jessica temporarily left the table, Angela turned around and said something else that made me even happier –

"He hasn't looked at the table once since you turned back around; I really think he was looking at you, Bella."

Bella… my girls name was Bella…

How perfect – I couldn't imagine a more fitting name for such an angel. It suited her completely.

"I don't know, Ang. Why would someone like him be looking at someone like me?"

I sighed sadly, hating to hear her putting herself down – couldn't she see that she was far more beautiful than the other girls here?

I vowed to make sure she saw herself clearly – she would always be told how beautiful she was, when I got to know her that was.

Lunch quickly ended and after saying goodbye to my family and promising to meet them in the car lot after school, I went to my next class, eagerly waiting for biology later today.

That time eventually came, and I quickly rushed to the classroom, making my way to the seat Alice told me to sit in – apparently it was the spare one next to Bella. Alice insisted it would be the perfect opportunity to begin to get to know Bella, and I certainly wasn't going to miss it.

Bella eventually entered the room, looking incredibly startled to see me sitting at her desk. I smiled at her, thrilled to properly see her closer, and she frowned for a moment before smiling shyly back at me… something that only made me smile even wider.

I tried once again to tune in on her thoughts but got nothing… it was like her mind was completely blank. Despite my frustration and confusion at this, I tried to push it to the back of my mind for now – I could always talk to Carlisle about it later.

I watched her walk to her seat, and introduced myself to her, hoping she would be accepting about me sitting here – for all I knew she might have preferred to be alone – but luckily she was very nice about it, although the adorable blush on her cheeks told me that perhaps she was a little shy.

Mr. Banner came in soon after and got on with the lesson, but I couldn't tell anyone what he said… I wasn't even listening.

Instead I was watching her.

She was writing notes, listening intently to the class, but one hand was playing absentmindedly with her hair.

I smiled to myself as I watched her… because this was one of Alice's visions.

Eventually Mr. Banner told us to just continue with her textbook work – something that pleased a lot of the class – but I just remained motionless. At strange as it may sound I was actually nervous about making conversation with Bella… what if I said something that she didn't like?

At that moment she turned around to look at me, blushing beautifully when she caught me looking at her and with that I felt all my nervousness fade away. This was my chance to start getting to know her.

So with that positive thought, I leant towards her a little more, "So, Bella," I murmured, "now we're finally allowed to talk, tell me a little about yourself."

Her eyes widened in surprise before she calmed and smiled again, "Like what?" she asked me.

"Anything," I shrugged.

She nodded, frowning slightly, "I might bore you," she murmured quietly, not looking at me.

"I doubt that," I grinned.

"Okay…" she hesitated, "well, I've always lived in Fork's… that's not very interesting is it? Erm… it's just me and my dad; he's the police chief here. My mom left years ago because of some… stuff. I haven't seen her since but that doesn't bother me…"

As she spoke softly, I sat there, completely absorbed by everything she was telling me and as I listened to her - fascinated by every little detail she was telling me - I also took the time to just admire her.

Alice's visions didn't do her beauty justice that's for sure.

The euphoria from finding her still hadn't worn down and I knew that it never would, because luckily as I continued to talk to her - finding out more about her life - I was discovering that she was just as wonderful as I'd always hoped she would be.

And I knew without a doubt, that I was falling in love with her already.

"I'm sorry, I'm guessing that wasn't the kind of stuff you want to hear right?" she frowned.

"No, it was nice," I replied, "it sounds like you're lucky to have each other – you and your dad I mean."

"We are," she agreed, seeming thoughtful for a moment before smiling back at me, "so now I've spoken, I think it's time for you to return the favour. Tell me a little about your family."

"Oh, where to start…" I grinned at her,

I then launched into brief descriptions of everyone in my family, just generally describing a bit about each of them, leaving out Carlisle and Esme though.

I briefly wondered if I was boring Bella, but one glance at her proved otherwise - instead she listened intently, her brown eyes bright, interested and showing no sign of boredom as she heard everything I had to say about them. I told her about Emmett, and his fun loving, almost idiotic self and about Alice, Jasper and Rosalie too, telling her a couple of details about how we're all 'adopted' and how the rest of them excluding me are in couples.

I made sure to leave out the details about all of us being vampires though… causing her to run screaming from the room wouldn't exactly be the best way to make the most of this opportunity would it?

"They all sound great, Alice especially," she admitted, once I had finished talking.

"Yeah they are," I agreed.

"You're so lucky," she told me wistfully, "I've always wished that I could have had siblings."

"Oh, you wouldn't be saying that if you had to endure one of Emmett's pranks… it would put you off wanting a brother for life," I told her.

"He's that bad huh?" she asked me.

"Yep," I nodded.

She laughed quietly, "I'm sure I could cope," she murmured.

I nodded, and was about to say something else when I noticed something on her hand – it was some sort of comment written on there in blue pen.

"What have you got written there?" I asked curiously.

She lifted up her hand so I could see, and I quietly whispered the words I saw out loud -

'I can avoid being seen if I wish, but to disappear entirely, that is a rare gift.'

I stayed quiet for a moment absorbing the words and the meaning behind them, however Bella must have misinterpreted my silence for something else, as she suddenly moved her hand away from my view, embarrassed.

"Yeah… I always have a quote written on my hand. It's weird I know… but it's something I've done for years," she mumbled.

"No, that's not weird, not at all. Why did you pick that quote though?" I asked.

"I'm not sure… just because it relates to me I guess," she told me, "It's stupid I know that."

"It's not… I like that quote, did you think of it?" I asked her.

"Yeah I did," she admitted.

"It's good," I told her, smiling.

"Thanks," she smiled, "so… what do you think of it here so far? I forgot to ask before."

"Hmm, it's okay," I told her, leaning even closer than before so I could almost feel her breath on my face, "but you know what? I'm starting to think that I'm going to love it here."

Her eyes went wide and her blush intensified – only making her even more adorable, "Good… that's erm, good. I'm glad you… feel that way," she stuttered, smiling at me shyly.

I smiled, nodding, and decided to go right ahead now with my plan to ask her if she wanted to sit with me and my family at lunch tomorrow… it was pretty quick of me, but it was worth taking the risk.

So, I lowered my voice a little, "Hey, Bella, do you-"

However, my words were cut off by the shrill sound of the bell ringing. Immediately everyone jumped from their seats and began heading out of the classroom, barely listening to Mr. Banner's instructions about their homework. He chose to follow them out of the class, insistent on making them listen to him.

But I was still rooted to my spot, surprised that the hour had gone so fast.

And apparently, Bella was surprised too - "wow, that went quick," she laughed, breathlessly.

"Yeah, I guess so," I murmured, barely hiding my disappointment.

We both packed our books away, and stood up from our seats, however when I turned to look at Bella I noticed that suddenly she didn't look very well… she was swaying barely able to stand and looked close to passing out.

"Bella, are you okay?" I asked worriedly.

"I…" she barely began to speak before she suddenly collapsed, her legs giving out under her. It was a good thing I had quick reflexes – I only just caught her in time before her head hit the floor.

Completely panicked I pulled her up so she was standing but resting against my chest for support – I looked down at her to see her eyes were wide but unfocused, and that she was violently shaking. I held her close to me, mostly for support for her but also for myself… I was suddenly very worried.

Was my girl okay?

"Bella, are you okay?" I repeated softly.

She looked up at me, tears filling her brown eyes, "I'm so sorry, I don't know what came over me," she whispered, "I thought that I was – I mean, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

"Ssh, it's okay," I whispered, moving my arms so one was wrapped around her waist to support her and so one was gently stroking her hair, hopefully to soothe her a little. Luckily, she seemed like she was already feeling a bit better – she wasn't shaking so much now and seemed steadier on her feet.

"I really don't know what happened – it's probably because I haven't eaten much," she told me.

I nodded, realising that explanation made sense. I just hoped it was true.

Bella tried to take a step but only swayed on her feet again – I tightened my hold on her. "I'm sorry," she whispered, wiping tears away from her cheeks.

"It's okay, I've got you," I told her, silently vowing to always look after her and make sure she's okay from now on.

No matter what she decided she wanted from me, I knew that I would always protect her from this day forward. I already adored her and knew that I would do anything for her if she asked me too.

And so, I held her even tighter, and leant down so my lips were pressing against her hair.

"It will all be okay… I've got you," I whispered to her again.

(Bella)

Alice grinned and linked her arm through mine, and began leading me towards the table. I looked up to see all of them watching our approach – Jasper and Emmett both had surprised expressions on their faces, while Edward had a wide, beautiful smile on his face.

But Rosalie… she was looking at me like she wished I would just disappear – her expression was like pure ice, and I had to admit… it was frightening me a little.

I considered turning and running away right then, but another look at Edward's excited expression made me change my mind.

I sighed to myself… what on earth am I getting myself into?

Hmm... what do you all think?

Next chapter will be up soon, please let me know if you liked this chapter - I'm so nervous about this one for some reason!

Thanks for reading! x
