I woke up. I was in the middle of the large king-sized bed. Edward was sitting on the sofa. He was reading a book. I closed my eyes again and groaned. I looked over at him, and he looked up.
"Good morning, love" Edward said in a loving voice.
"Good morning to you too." I smiled sweetly. Then I pulled the covers off of me and noticed I was still wearing the …clothes… Alice had given me. I found a white robe lying across the chair next to the bed. I put in on and joined Edward on the couch. I sat on his lap, as he held me close.
"Whatcha reading?" I asked him, looking at the book in his hands.
"Thousand Splendid Suns, by Khaled Hosseini." he answered. "It's a very interesting book." He smiled. "Can I get you anything to eat or drink?" I shook my head. Then I hugged him. It was an awkward hug, seeing as we were both sitting, but I just kept hugging him, I didn't want to let go. I inhaled his scent. The aroma made my head dizzy. He was wearing a cotton t-shirt and some dark washed jeans. All I noticed was that my hair needed to be washed.
"What time is it?" I asked him. I looked up into his eyes which seemed to be a bit darker. He glanced down and smiled.
"12.20 pm," he said. Pointing to the clock on the wall. I looked over at it. I had slept in. Darn, I had slept. I knew that what I wanted to happen didn't. I think I was upset at that.
"I'm going to have a shower," I said. Then I sat up and started for the bathroom door. I stepped into the bathroom door and turned on the shower. The water was hot. That was good. I shrugged off the robe, and then the fancy stuff. I stepped into the shower the hot water beat down on my body. My mind was cleared off all that happened. I was imagining the change. Out of all things, that's what I was thinking. Maybe it was like a hot shower… And then I imagined myself never seeing Jake again. It was like an arrow that hit me. I was never going to see him again. My eyes welled up with enormous tears. I couldn't tell them from the water. My crying wasn't silent either. The loud cries could probably be heard throughout the entire hotel. Memories of every second spent with Jacob were in my mind. There wasn't anything I could possibly do to stop them. They were almost a flood, a tsunami.
"Bella?" Came Edwards concerned voice.
My crying went on. I was like a baby who was just born. Wailing and screaming. I started hitting the walls. An Eighteen year old is throwing a temper tantrum in a hotel bathroom. It kind of made it worse, and I kept screaming. WHY!? I kept saying to myself.
"Bella?" Came Edwards voice from outside the shower.
I composed myself for about eight seconds. Long enough to turn off the water and grab a towel from Edwards hand. Then, the water works started up again.
Edward entered the shower and immediately wrapped himself around me, swaying ever so slightly. My body became stuck and I started to shudder rapidly with no signs of being able to slow it down. Edward picked me up and carried me out of the steamy bathroom. He lay me down on the bed with nothing but a towel wrapped around me. I was still a crying mess. He slipped himself in and around me, and I was engulfed within his arms. My hair and eyes were staining his shirt, but he didn't care.
"Tell me what's wrong hun," His voice, smooth.
Through huffs and tears I managed to get the words 'jaaey' and 'cub' in a sentence. I could feel Edward nodding, and a quiet "ah" I closed my eyes, hoping the tears would stop, but the didn't. I sat there crying, wet and red in Edwards arms for twenty minutes. When I couldn't cry anymore, I sat up and looked into his eyes.
"Sorry," a soft murmur came from my lips.
"Don't be, Bella," His voice rang. "It's fine to feel that way."
"This is going to be tough," I said
"What is?" Edward questioned.
"Everything,"
"Mmm," Edward nodded once. "That is quite right my dear. Quite right indeed."
The End
