My wounded Angel
EPOV
Days blurred by as what seemed an impossible speed, I learned more and more about the beautiful being before me.
Rose kept me looking for new ways to make her smile or laugh, everyday I pinched myself waiting to wake up from this glorious dream. She was so perfect in many other ways then her dazzling beauty.
What surprised me most was she didn't seem to realize just how lovely she was, so many different pieces of her I learned a little bit about everyday. I waited to wake from this wonderful dream but the day never came when she laughed I just about burst with happiness.
I had fallen for an angel, the day I opened my eyes to this new world was the day I had really completely opened my eyes.
I saw small but beautiful things the way the sun shone brighter when Rose was near, how when ever she did the simple gesture of sweeping her hair from her face love burst forth filling my whole body, all I every wanted now was to see her make sure she didn't disappear like the illusion I was sure she had to be.
Since the first day we meet she had acted so nervous, my only instinct was to try to make her smile again.
She left me so stumped sometimes, always apologizing for saving me, what did she have to be sorry for? Every time I reminded her of this she gave me a small smile and tried not to show the confusion that was so bold in her topaz eyes.
I couldn't understand why she was so self-conscious, she surly had no trouble in a relationship. Someone must have broken her heart, I felt my heart speed up as rage consumed my thoughts, if anyone ever hurt her they'd have to deal with me.
I was interrupted by the sound of bells as Rose tapped my shoulder trying to get my attention.
"Emmett, earth to Emmet………"
Calm swept over me as I saw her face and came to the conclusion that I would try my hardest to heal her broken heart.
" Oh sorry Rose just thinking" she gave mea puzzled smile and left to stay in her room for the night, giving me plenty of time to plan a great day tomorrow.
As I thought of what I could do to get her to laugh, or even just a small smile, I looked out my window to small flakes of snow that would soon cover the whole ground, the idea came.
Snow, there were so many ways to have fun, the possibilities were endless.
For the rest of the night I tried not to jog up to Rose's room just so I could make sure she still existed, when dawn finally broke I gave her a few minutes to dress and as soon as I heard her small foot steps make there way back to her bed I was off.
Two second later I was at her doorway, she was so perfect, I almost didn't want to disturb her as she gazed out at the glorious day, but the will to hear her voice was stronger so I broke the silence
" Hey Rose I have a great idea for-" my excitement sent my plan for the day whirling out when I saw the look of distress on her face it pained me to see her features so twisted, concern filled my voice
" Rose are you ok??"
She glanced over to me and put on a fake smile I imagined anyone could see through,
"I'm fine I just hate snow, I don't feel like doing anything today"
She looked annoyed as my grin got bigger, I loved challenges and I knew exactly what I had to say to get her outside, I just had to play up to it, I stepped over to her bed and sat down leaving a small space between us.
" You don't have to be- I paused as I knew the next word would strike her heart but in the end work up to my plan -human to enjoy snow".
She winced just as I knew she would, I wanted so badly to hug her but she didn't seem to keen on touching I'd have to go slow, and worse be patient, at lest it didn't seem that bad I would wait for Rose forever.
She paused as she composed herself
" I don't want to ok…."
Her smile turned to a frown by the end of the sentence, this was to hard not being able to comfort her but it would just make it worse if I tried.
So I finalized my plan and started to walk towards her door pretending to be defeated. It made me happy how much she knew me when she stopped me in my tracks.
"Emmett get it over with what's the catch??" I surpassed a laugh as I turned to her glare which just made my grin bigger.
" I just don't get it…. that's all".
She looked at me and slowly responded as she stepped off her bed
" Don't get….. what??"
I practically shouted each word knowing that I might as well live it up because she be in my face in seconds
"That you of all people would be afraid of snow"
She was in my face in a half a second her breath made my head whirl as she yelled at me
"I'm not afraid of Snow!!" all I could do was try not to kiss her as she stammered.
I tried to regain my composure and broke the silence and the wonder in her eyes
"ok ok then prove it lets go" I ran down the stairs before my restraint left me, one of these days I wasn't going to be able to hold back, little did I know that day was today.
I stepped out on to the back patio and thought of what we should do first, well best to confuse her, she always looked so adorable when she looked at me for the answers it made me feel like she might just love me back….
I frowned would she ever love me back??
I heard her foot steps in the kitchen so I resorted to making the classic snowman as our first event.
I kneeled to the ground and started forming a ball of snow which I began to roll towards a shady spot by the side of the house as I looked up Rose glanced my way, I almost thought I could see relief in her eyes but that must have been my imagination.
Joy was so near, it would be so easy, clearly Rose wasn't the type to know what a snowman was
"Ok Rose you make the head and I'll get the middle."
Her eyes darkened as I got the answer I expected " Make a head…. what??"
I played dumb and gave her an astounded look
" The snowman's head… please tell me you have made a snowman before"
Then she surprised me with a look of pure confidence she smiled and replied " A snowman of course go ahead and get started, I'll make the…. the head".
Even the pause at the end would have fooled anyone.
But then again, when would she ever have had the time or desire to make a snowman.
I shook my head at the prospect and replied "Ok I'll be back in a second…" before I turned to leave I saw her shaking with consumed laughter,
what game was she playing??
I walked a way and started to absent mindly roll together a snowman.
All my thoughts were concentrated on Rose's small lie when I heard a soft scrap, I looked around the house Just in time to see Rose shimming up the gutter to the roof.
I couldn't help letting out a small chuckle when I realized what she was trying to do, I peeked over at the roof and saw Rose mashing together a pretty lumpy snowball, I ran over to the nearest tree and called out "Rose??" playing along with the game, it put the biggest grin on my face when I saw her stifle her own giggle.
I ran to the other side of the house and climbed up the gutter, I bounced onto the roof and with a small crunch made my way to Rose, who was leaning over the side of the roof waiting for me.
I was to inches away from Rose when my boot scraped the roof and she turned to me almost ramming her lips to mine, she looked so surprised but not as surprised as when I spoke
" Having fun??"
Horror washed over me as I saw her fall backwards, I jumped down into the white mess as both our body's hit the snow mine a few feet away from hers.
My face loomed over hers looking for sign of injury, that wouldn't be there.
I stammered out my apology " Rose are you ok, I'm so sorry I had no idea… you just…. I'm sorry" She was so close now, she looked so terrified all I wanted to do comfort her.
She was so fragile on the inside and then it was all to much her eyes on mine and her lips so close before I knew it mine covered hers.
Heat radiated through my body she tasted like the lip gloss she had put on this morning but it went deeper then that she tasted like pure sorrow that only made me deepen the kiss until I felt her shaking under me,
I looked up into her tightly shut eyes I leaned my face back terrified that I had ruined exactly what I had been building
"Rose I'm so sorry you where just…. so close…I'm sorry, Rose??"
I hoped my explanation would be enough as I saw her eyes open with tears that couldn't fall, she let out a scream that made me jump back feet to give her space,
I looked up to see her running deep into the forest, for moment I was frozen, I broke her heart, and then all I wanted to do was sob until I realized maybe I might still have a chance even if we were forever friends it was something.
I bolted after her hoping to come across her path but the snow was almost blinding now, there was no way I'd find her, hoping she decied to hide in her room,
I blindly made my way back to the house. Grief washed over me, I had ruined everything with my selfish kiss.
The same thought taunted my mind as trudged home..
What had I done??
