Disclaimer: I don't work for Stephenie (Poppy…), so not in any way is Twilight mine.
So, I've gotten about seven reviews and all of them are like "this is freaking amazing and you need to continue!" so I'm sitting there going. "whoa, whoa, whoa! Okay!" so there you go. Back by popular demand: The Book.
Chapter One.
"Where are you?" Edward asked into the phone. I gave him my location. He contemplated for a moment and then spoke up again.
"I should be there by morning," he said, "Then you can tell me what is going on. I'll see you then." He hung up. I flipped my phone shut and stared at the wall. Vanessa sat down beside me and put her arm around me.
"Would you like to tell me what's wrong?" she asked.
I handed her the book that was in my lap and said, "read the first four chapters."
I watched her read the book out of my peripheral vision. Her eyes got wider and wider as she read the text that scared me.
"Is… is this your story. Is this about you and Edward?" she asked.
"Yes," I said, "This is my story. My secret could get out. I don't want to be killed because of some human."
"Bella," said Vanessa, "You won't get killed. I promise, I will protect you, no matter what. You're my sister. I love you. No one will ever touch you."
"Thanks, Vanessa," I said. She gave me a hug.
"I assume that was Edward," she said, "on the phone."
"It was," I said. "He'll be here in the morning."
"Will you tell him?" she asked.
"I need to," I said, "He's just as involved in this as I am. But for now, I need to do a bit of research." I went over to the computer and linked up to the Internet. I looked up Stephenie Meyer on Google and her website was the first thing that showed up. I clicked on the link. There was a whole series out. It was a phenomenon. That means that Edward has been exposed to thousands of teen girls everywhere. Thousands of teen girls were in love with a book series that they though had nothing to do with the real world. Thousands of girls had something in common with me: they were all in love with Edward.
How did this Stephenie Meyer know my exact thoughts? How did she know exactly what was going on at all times? How did she know?
I went to Amazon and bought the other three books in the series: New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn. I was afraid to know if everyone knew that I was turned into a vampire. The Volturi could come and kill me because so many humans knew about me and the Cullens and Vanessa. I didn't want my sister brought into this because of me. I was scared.
Something caught my eye. Two little words on the side of Stephenie Meyer's web page: Midnight Sun. I clicked on that link. It was the Twilight book in Edward's point of view. Only Edward knew exactly what he was thinking in those moments. I can't imagine how difficult it must have been for him when I sat down next to him in Biology that day. I was curious. I clicked on the link and read the first chapter of Midnight Sun.
I never knew the true complexity that he had felt when he was with me that first time in Biology. I'd caused him so much pain. Not just that, but I caused all of them Pain. I felt bad for Alice, Jasper, Carlisle, Esme, Emmett, Rosalie…Edward. I had done so much to hurt that wonderful family who helped me.
When I was done, I re-read the chapter, even though with my photographic memory, I knew it by heart. I read it over and my heart twanged with misery. I knew that I caused Edward so much pain. He hated me, then loved me, now hated me again. I caused him trouble with his control, but then again, how could I have stopped it? Trading blood with someone else? Impossible.
Someone knocked on the front door and I walked over to answer it. There, Edward stood in all of his god-like perfection. If my heart could beat, it would be in a frenzy. No matter how long we hadn't seen each other, I still loved him.
"Bella," he said, "Long time, no see."
"Edward," I said, "Come in. This is very important." He complied and entered my home. He and I sat down on the couch.
"What has you acting like this?" Edward asked, "I haven't seen you act like this in so long."
I handed him the book with the apple on the cover.
"What is this?" he asked.
"Read the back," I said. He flipped the book over and scanned over the text. His eyebrows crumpled.
"It's about us, Edward," I said, "It's about a human girl named Bella Swan who moves to Forks, Washington and falls in love with a boy named Edward Cullen, who ends up being a vampire who wants to kill her. It's in my perspective. It has my exact thoughts."
Edward stayed quiet. "Edward," I whispered, "She's writing this book in your perspective, too. I know how you felt. I'm sorry I caused you so much trouble."
"Bella," he said, "I thought that you were sent from my own hell to destroy me and my family. Then, I got to know you and then I fell in love with you. You caused trouble, but you made up for it later. There is nothing to forgive."
"The secret is out," I said, "This book series is huge. Everyone knows about vampires, whether of not hey thin k that vampires are real. They know all the secrets. They now we sparkle. They know about the Volturi. All of these humans know everything!"
"We're going to have to pay a visit to this Stephenie Meyer," said Edward, "But first, you need to go to school. You can't be expelled because you stayed at home because you were plotting against an author."
"What are you going to do?" I asked.
"I'm coming with you," he said, "On the way here, I called your school and told them I was joining the school as your brother. I was just adopted."
"Oh," I said, "Edward Gellar. Rolls off my tongue." Edward chuckled.
"You're reading this book in school?" he asked.
"Yes," I said, "Apparently, this book has become a classic."
"Hmm," contemplated Edward, 'Who would have thought that our romance would be so… fascinating."
"Think about it," I said, "It's a forbidden romance. Two different species." I realized what I had just said. "I sound so pathetic, don't I?"
"No," said Edward, "You're speaking your mind. I've been trying to get you to do that for years."
"Edward," I said, "Why are you being so nice to me? You hate me. You don't want me."
"If I hated you, would I be living here?" he asked.
"You're going to live here?" I asked. "thanks for inviting yourself in!"
"Do you not want me here?" he asked, "If you don't I can go somewhere else. I don't want to be a nuisance to you or Vanessa."
"You can stay here, Edward," I said. "It's fine. We've got a few extra rooms, anyway."
"I know," he said, with my favorite crooked smile, "Vanessa keeps on wondering which room I'll pick." I chuckled.
"Vanessa," I said, "Calm down."
"Where's Jasper when you need him," I muttered. Edward heard me and smiled.
"This is true," he said.
"So," I said, "You're now my brother."
"I'm now you're adoptive brother," he said. "Big difference, seeing how we don't look alike at all."
I smiled at him and changed the subject. "How's Alice? And everyone else?"
"They're fine," he said, "They all miss you and hope you visit soon."
"I will," I said, "With my new adoptive brother."
I know, this is a lot shorter than most of m chapters, but I didn't have much time. Tell me what you thought. Review!
