Perfection Does Exist

Chapter 4

As soon as I parked my car in the garage I took off at a run towards Bella's house. When I arrived I quickly climbed up the tree in the front of the house and found that I had a great view into her room, she was laying on her bed with tears running down her cheeks. With my sight I could see the pictures she had scattered all over her room, she had a horse, and a dog, I was confused as to why she left them home until her father pulled up and he went into her room.

I felt surges of anger and I heard their conversation. Bella had moved to a town that she hated, left her horse, and her dog behind, and she did it all for her mother! I had to fix this; as soon as Charlie left and Bella drifted off to sleep I crept through her window and picked up her cell phone from the end table. Quickly sifting through her contacts I copied her mother's number into my phone and jumped out the window as I dialed.

"Hello?" The voice on the other end of the line spoke. "Mrs. Dwyer, My name is Edward Cullen; I go to school with your daughter Bella. Well she told me about her dog back home and that she was saving up to buy him from you. Well I'm sure that Mr. Swan has already called you to tell you about Bella's accident this morning and I think that she would feel a lot better with the dog here so I was wondering if I could buy him from you." I said.

There was silence on the other end for a few moments before "Oh how wonderful! Jackson has been missing her like crazy! I've barely been able to get him to leave her room! How can we get him to her?" I felt a smile break out on my face as we discussed the details, I was going to drive up and pick up the dog in the morning.

When I finally hung up the phone I scaled the wall into Bella's room again and settled into the rocking chair in the corner. I observed the room as I listened to the rhythmic sound of her breathing. She had pictures of her "babies" everywhere, she had books scattered all over her desk, and a set of weights in the corner. I was all but lost in my thought when I heard her; at first I thought that she had woken up but I laughed as I realized that she was talking in her sleep. She said many things, mostly Jackson, Spike, and Babies, but then she uttered the word that drew me to her. My name.

It was the most wonderful sound I had ever heard. I slid off of the chair and crawled until my face was even with hers and she said my name again. I stayed like that all night, I didn't move a muscle until she started to stir so I took that as my cue to leave.

I made it to my house in record time and with a quick murmur of explanation to my family I changed my clothes and then set off.

Traveling at my speeds I made it to Phoenix by mid day so I called Mrs. Dwyer and got directions to her house. When I pulled up she was standing on the front lawn with the dog. I immediately saw why he could be a guard dog, he had a well muscled chest, sturdy body, and most of all a wide jaw with a boxy nose. He looked absolutely cute and menacing at the same time. (BTW that's describing my dog exactly! )

I climbed out of the car and approached the pair, but I couldn't keep the smile off of my face as I heard Jackson's thoughts. Strange creature, smells of my human but does not smell human it's self.

"Hello! You must be Edward! I can't thank you enough for this!" Mrs. Dwyer said. "It's my pleasure, anything to please Bella." I responded and handed her the check. I took the leash from her and crouched down in front of Jackson. This creature is weird, am I supposed to follow him? I smiled. "Let's go see your human." I said. HUMAN!!

I laughed and led him to the car and let him in the passenger seat. As I climbed in to the drivers' seat I noticed him turn to look at me. What is he?! "You're right, I'm not human like Bella, but I swear I won't hurt you or her." I said slowly, hoping he would understand.

Not human….BELLA!! not hurt…why is he talking to me like that, Bella is the only one that does that… "It's because I can hear you." I replied, I felt silly talking to a dog, but hearing thoughts was pretty useful at times.

Hear me!? "Yes I can hear you, like I said I'm not human." I replied. Jackson turned in his seat again and faced out the front of the car, he glanced at the window a few times and then he turned his head to me again. Can you uh…open the window a bit? He asked.

I laughed and did as he asked, and I smiled as he stuck his head out the window and let his huge ears fly in the wind. It was almost dark by the time I returned to Bella's house that night but I walked Jackson to the door anyway. When Charlie answered the door I put a finger to my lips to tell him to be quiet.

"Mr. Swan, My name is Edward Cullen. I go to school with Bella, I was the one that helped her yesterday morning, well I thought that this dog would make her feel better so I made arrangements with Mrs. Dwyer to pick him up. Is Bella awake?" I asked. The look on Charlie's face was priceless.

"Yeah, you can take him on up… Edward I don't know how to thank you enough! And please call me Charlie." I smiled. "No thanks needed." I replied and let Charlie lead me to Bella's room. I waited in the hall while he went in. "Bella, there's someone here that I think you want to see." He said and she asked who. I took that as my cue so I leaned down, whispered "Go get your Human." Into Jackson's ear, and let him off the leash.

He bounded around the corner in a flash and I ran after him to see the look on Bella's face. "JACKSON!" She screamed. BELLA! Jackson yelled in his mind. He leaped onto her bed in one big bound and was just about to pounce on her when he stopped in his tracks.

Bella's hurt. He thought. So instead he gently laid on her thighs and rested his giant head on her abdomen. I could see the tears welling up in Bella's eyes as she ran her hands all over him. "How?" She started to ask but stopped when she saw me with the leash still in my hand. "How did you do this? How did you even know about him?" She asked. I panicked for half a second before answering.

"You told me about him yesterday, you just must not remember because of the accident, and I kind of got your moms number off of your phone." I lied, hoping it would stick. She looked suspicious but she seemed to happy to be with Jackson to actually care.

"Either way I can't thank you enough Edward! This is the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me!" I smiled. "I guess I should head home." I said. "Ok, I'll see you at school on tomorrow!" She said.

As I drove away my thoughts were muddled, I was so confused. I barely knew this girl and I was doing crazy things like driving out of state and buying her dog for her!

When I returned back to my house Alice was sitting on the front porch waiting for me and as soon as I cut the engine she was at my door. "We need to talk." She said with a smile on her face. I sighed and climbed out of the car then began walking with her.

"Her dog Edward? You do realize how crazy that was. You're just really lucky that she fell for the you told me yesterday act." Trust Alice to know everything all the time, crazy future seeing pixie.

"I know." I sighed. "But there's something about her! Her scent is like nothing I've ever experienced before; it takes all of my control not to attack her! But I'm so drawn to her, its making me want to do anything for her! Like driving to phoenix to get her dog for her. I'm lucky that her mothers' front lawn was shady! It didn't' even occur to me that phoenix Arizona is always sunny!"

By the time I was done with my speech Alice was grinning from ear to ear. "Edward I do believe you're in love." She stated and then giggled. That thought stopped my in my tracks. "I think you're right." I whispered. "But this is so wrong! She's human; I can't be around her like this, and just being around her puts her in danger!"

"It will work out, Believe me, I know." She said and wrapped her arms around me. "You know you really are great to have around…even if you are an annoying little pixie sometimes." I said which caused her to pull back. "I am not little! I am proportional!" She screamed at me which caused me to start laughing and take off running.

"I'll get you stupid shiny Volvo owner!" She screeched while running after me.

My wire's here!! It feels so absolutely fabulous to be on again! So anyway I liked the Jackson thing, Jackson actually is my dog and that's his description. He's is really smart so I figure that he must have thought process 0.o lol And the proportional thing is what I always yell at my sister when we're teasing each other about our differences lol Oh and sorry about the shortness, I'm just getting back to this so I'm kinda rusty lol I'll try to make the chapters longer and I'm not sure how soon I can update, I have riding and I'm working extra hard on school this year cause I have to take the entrence exam to the community college next year / so yeah im super busy
