I woke up to a gray day and I almost thought I was back at forks.
I groaned. My ribs hurt. I was, no doubt, badly bruised from being elbowed all of last night.
I really can't remember what happened after Emmett and Edward got me in the car.
I realized I was still in last nights clothes. I felt so nasty, I needed a shower.
I rolled over abruptly. Had I known Edward was sleeping right beside me I wouldn't have done so. In the abruptness of the movement I elbowed him hard on the chest.
His eyes flew open and the air was knocked out of him. I watched as he went from pale to red in a heartbeat, all the while I was torn between worry and humor.
I watched, as I laughed silently, as he gradually went back to pale and began taking in a lungful of air. His eyes became watery and he turned to look at me shocked.
"I should wake you up like that more often" I said and then dissolved into a puddle of laughter.
"Yeah my mornings are normally boring compared to this" he said sarcastically.
"Cheer up" I said once I was finally calm.
"Last night I carried you all the way up here and this is how you repay me?" he said faking anger.
"Shut up you know you liked it" I said stretching. I winced slightly as my bruises hurt.
"Getting the air punched out of me or carrying you over here?"
"Both"
He shook his head and chuckled. Then he looked up beside me.
"Well good afternoon" he said. My eyes widened and I turned around to se the clock on the bedside table.
"NOOOOO!" I wailed and fell back on the bed.
"No what?" he asked confused.
"We missed half the day" I whined, even to me I sounded annoying.
He laughed.
"Well how about we make it up for us. How about we drive up to L.A?"
Instead of answering I got out of bed and pulled him out too. Then I shoved him into the bathroom.
"You have ten minutes to shower if you're not done by then i will personally come in and drag you out understood soldier?"
"Yes mam" he said but I heard the click of the lock of the door.
"A weak lock won't stop me Cullen" I yelled. Immediately I heard the water falling on the tub.
I turned away from the bathroom door. There were two beds in this room but only one had been used. Maybe Edward's afraid of sleeping alone.
I laughed at the thought.
I walked over to my bag full of clothes and pulled out my cell phone. The next thing I did was probably one of the bravest things I have ever done.
I turned on my phone.
As soon as I turned it on the phone (and me) was harassed with a million text messages missed calls and voicemails.
I quickly listened to one all of my mom's voicemails, and read her text messages.
They all said basically the same thing. To go back home and she was crying on every single voicemail. Except the last one, on the last one she cried and said to go back home that I was going to die.
Yeah I felt bad for making her go through this but sometimes it's necessary.
My dad pretty much said the same thing. Except the dying part, he had yet to loose his mind.
I moved on to bobby's messages.
"Dude my parents aren't taking this too well. Just come back alive sis" he said.
There was only one text message from him
Love you
I decided to text him back. But I kept it as short as possible.
Luv you too big bro
I moved on to read the next messages. The guys sounded calm but the concern was bubbling beneath the calm facade. Xavier's text message made me crack up though.
April is gangsta
I called him.
"Where the hell are you woman" he said after he answered in the first ring.
"Nice to talk to you to, what's up?" I asked
"What's up is that I think your mom is going to die before you if she doesn't hear from you"
"So you know?"
"That you have about a week, more or less, to live? Yes I know"
"then to keep her from dying so young call her right after I hang up and tell her I called you and that I am fine and that it doesn't matter where I'm at. I'm still going to die."
"What?" said a voice from behind me that made me freeze.
I turned slowly and saw Edward with damp hair, shirtless and a towel wrapped around his waist.
"Who's that?" I heard Xavier's voice say from the phone.
"Do you mind I'm on the phone" I said quickly before his body got me off track. He smirked and got his clothes then went back into the bathroom.
"No one" I said going back to the phone call.
"ooooh April is getting some"
"Am not" I said in a not so convincing tone.
"Sure your not"
"Just do as I say and call my mom"
"Where are you?"
"If you're going to ask questions ask the ones that I can actually answer" I said annoyed.
"All right chill just tell me the dudes name"
"Why do you want to know?" I said suspiciously.
"Just cuz I'm curious"
"Edward Cullen"
"How did you meet him?"
"On the street"
"What the hell and he hasn't raped you yet. Are you freaking out of your mind he could rape you then kill you"
I couldn't help but laugh when he said this. "He would've already done it; I met him the day I left home."
"Wait in port Angeles?"
"Bingo, how do you know?"
"they found your car there, when they told your mom she passed out'
"The woman passes out for anything. Yeah I left to his house after"
"So you got your cherry popped?"
"Say that one more time and I hang up and you won't hear from me until it shows up in the newspaper that I finally died."
"Okay, okay, just be careful"
"Always am"
"You really call going off with some stranger to his house and all, being careful?"
"Depends on your definition of careful, got to go bye!"
"Wait!"
Too late, I hung up. There that was enough information to not let them find out where I was.
Just then Edward came out of the bathroom, fully clothed thankfully.
"What did you mean about that whole 'im going to die' thing?"
I quickly said the first thought that came from my head.
"Insiders joke. That was one of my friends. He was just telling me what's going on over there.
"Oh cool"
"You should call your parents too. Let them know your fine" I said as I got my clothes.
"I think I will" he said as he put on his shoes.
Quickly I walked into the bathroom.
That was a close one.
I hope my mom would at least be able to breathe a bit again after hearing from me. I sighed and turned on the shower.
Third person pov
Miles away in the small town of forks Xavier quickly dialed his friends house number. He was still worried about her but not as much as before. She was a big girl, and despite her condition he knew very well she could take care of herself.
As he waited for someone to pick up he couldn't help but wonder if he would ever see her again.
After three rings they answered the phone. He heard Mrs. Summer's hopeful voice answer.
"Hello?"
"Mrs. Summers, its Xavier'
"Hello Xavier did you hear from April yet?" she sounded almost mad with all the worry she had had for her daughter.
"Actually that why I called, I just talked to her"
"Where is she?" she almost yelled.
Xavier turned to his laptop and placed his phone between his ear and his shoulder, and began to open up the internet.
"She wouldn't tell me, but she told me to tell you not to worry. That she is fine."
Her mom wailed.
"You should have pressed harder for more information what else did she tell you?"
Xavier began to type in the name Edward Cullen. Hopeful that something would turn up.
"She's with a boy right now"
"What! Is she alright has he hurt her?" I heard her talk with someone and suddenly her frantic voice was replaced by a deep manly voice.
"Xavier do you know who this boy is?"
Just then he clicked on a website where a biography of someone named Carlisle Cullen showed up.
"Wait a second I'm doing some research on it" Xavier said to April's father.
Carlisle Cullen was a well know surgeon with a wife and two kids. Alice and Edward Cullen.
"I know his dad is a surgeon living close to port Angeles." He said,
"what's his dads name?" the desperate father pressed.
"carlisle cullen" he responded. just then the line went dead.
Over at April's home her dad was already getting into the car with his wife and son as they all headed towards Port Angeles. April's father knew Dr. Carlisle Cullen. They had been classmates in college. Not long ago they had gotten into contact and had been planning to meet each other as well as each others families.
April's father knew just where Carlisle Cullen was living and that is exactly where he was headed to. He was filled with hope. With every second that passed he was drawing closer to his daughter.
In the back seat of the car bobby sat.
There was something wrong about this. He knew his sister probably more than his parents did and he knew that she wouldn't be stupid enough to stay at his house. He had no hope of finding neither her nor Edward there. But it would be futile to tell this to his parents, so he just sat in the back quietly. Just hoping that wherever she was, she was fine and that Edward was taking care of her.
Back at San Diego
I got out of the bathroom ready to go
"Took you long enough" Edward grumbled as he picked up his stuff.
"It was only thirty minutes" I reasoned as I picked up anything I might have out of my bag.
"Only"
"Didn't you say you had a sister?" I asked as I put on my shoes.
"Yeah"
"Then you should be used to this kind of stuff" I got up and got my bag. "Hurry up" I said then I turned and ran out the door.
"April wait!" I heard Edward shout, I laughed in response.
Much too soon I was out of breath. I slumped against the wall, panting heavily.
I heard Edwards's footsteps coming my way I turned my head to smile at him while still trying to regain my breath.
He had an amused look but it was easy to tell he was worried.
"Hello" I breathed as he kneeled next to me. He raised a questioning eyebrow.
"I got tired" I said in response to his unasked question.
He snickered "over such a short distance?"
"Hey I have a condition here" I said in defense.
"Oh right and may I ask what that condition is?"
"Never you mind" I said patting his shoulder. "Come on we have a long drive ahead of us" I got up, feeling a bit better.
We checked out of the hotel quickly and we were soon on our way to L.A.
Back at forks & bobby's pov
We arrived, quicker than I thought possible, to a massive white house. My mom was almost shaking with relief at being so close to her daughter. If only she knew.
We all walked up to the porch and my dad rang the doorbell, almost immediately a red eyed woman opened the door. This must be the mother, her eyes where just as red as my moms and her caramel colored hair was unkempt.
"Yes?" she whispered
"Hello" my dad said in a raspy voice. "I assume you are esme Cullen?"
"Yes?" she said sounding confused.
"Your husband Carlisle is an old friend of mines from college" he said. She looked at the three of us and her eyes rested a bit longer on my mom. Then they went back to my dad.
"Yes I do believe I've heard him talk about you. Please come in"
we all walked in to the house and we saw a man with blond hair sitting on a white couch with a black haired girl hugging him.
"Carlisle" the woman-esme- said.
The man named Carlisle looked around and his eyes fell upon my dad.
"Daniel?" Carlisle asked getting up. The black haired girl looked up as well, her gray eyes where red, as if she had been crying for a long time. Carlisle walked over to us.
"Carlisle it's good to see you again" my dad said but there was a tone of urgency in his voice. It was probably sinking in that April wasn't here.
Carlisle took a long look at us and then spoke.
"Your daughter is missing" he said. It wasn't a question, it was a statement.
Back at San Diego
"What are you writing in that notebook?" Edward said taking a glance at me as I had my feet on the seat with my knees to my chest and my notebook on my knees.
"Eyes on the road" I ordered. He sighed and turned his gaze back to the freeway.
"You can't know what I'm writing in here" I said going back to the notebook.
"Why is it a diary" he said in a mocking tone.
"So what if it is?" I challenged as I looked up at him, raising my chin in a superior manner.
"Well do I get to see what you're writing in there?" he asked.
"Maybe…someday" I said as I continued writing.
Once I'm gone
"Let's play a game" I said never tearing my eyes away from my notebook.
"Okay what do you want to play?"
"Let me think" I said….
Back at port Angeles
"She's with your son" my dad responded.
The black haired girl had walked over to us and was standing between her parents. I looked at her and she looked back. She shook her head sadly, confirming my suspicions. They weren't here.
"Yes we were away at a doctor's convention when they left. Alice came to the house on Saturday to find a note from Edward saying that he would be back in a week. We just didn't know he was with someone"
"Yes my daughter, April, left us a note too saying she'd be back in a week"
"How did you not notice she left?" esme whispered.
"We weren't at the house, and she was in the hospital. Then they informed us that she had run away from the hospital so we went home and found her note."
"Did your boy say where he went?" my mom whispered in a broken voice.
"No, he called this morning to tell us he was fine but that's all" responded esme.
My mom broke out into a pool of tear and she hugged my dad, burying her head in his chest. He held her to him as tears escaped his eyes.
"She called her friend today" I told the Cullen's.
"She told him who she was with and she said that she had met him Friday and she stayed over here. By what her friend told us she sounded fine."
"Well at least we know they are coming back in a week" the girl-Alice- said in a small voice.
"My sister is sick" I whispered gravely, her eyes widened in fear.
"Is it serious?" Carlisle asked worriedly.
"Her heart is failing her" my dad said in despair. "Her condition got worse recently, the doctor gave her a week more or less"
Esme gasped and she too broke out in tears.
"I'm so sorry" she whispered.
We spent the rest of the day there all six of us praying for the safety of our family members.
April come back alive
Back at San Diego
"I got it!" I exclaimed raising my arms. Edward jumped at my sudden outburst.
"Good just don't do that gain" he said giving a shaky chuckle.
"I wan to play twenty questions"
"Took you long enough" he muttered. I smacked the back of his head lightly.
"Be nice. Okay so what's the weirdest thing you have done in your life?"
"Inviting a girl I've only met for two hours to go sleep at my house"
"Okay but I think that more unusual than weird"
He snorted.
"How many times have you run away from home?"
"This is the first time, I tried to do that once when I was seven, they had grounded me for a month and I thought it was unfair so I ran away to my friend's house. His mom brought me back"
He laughed.
"okay how many girlfriends have you had in the past" I said not bothering about how personal the question might be.
"A fair few" he answered.
"How many is a fair few?"
"I believe it is my turn"
"Okay hurry up" I said as I scribbled something off my notebook.
"Alright at what age did you have your first kiss?"
"I can't tell you that" I said as I took a glance out the window. The sun seemed to be coming out.
"And why not?" he asked sounding a tad indignant. I giggled.
"Because I haven't had my first kiss yet" I said not sounding embarrassed or ashamed at all.
"Are you serious?"
"That's two questions" he gave me an evil smile.
"Eyes on the road" I ordered. He looked back to the freeway.
"How many girlfriends?" I asked again. He grinned.
"I believe about three"
"So little" I murmured to myself. He heard it because his grin became bigger.
"Do I look like a man whore to you?" he said pretending to sound hurt.
"Nah but I would have thought someone like you would have had more girlfriends?"
"Someone like me?"
"Stop asking two questions back to back or else I'll slap you silly"
"Okay" he said as he snickered.
"What's the first thing you notice in a girl?"
"What's with the girl questions?"
"That's not how the game goes!" I said lightly pinching his ear. "Answer me first fool!"
He howled in laughter. I looked at him until he calmed down.
"Do you know how fun you are to be around with?"
"Of course I do, I live with myself, now answer!"
He chuckled, "okay uhm I'd say physically their nose-"
"Their nose?" I said as I wrinkled mine's in confusion.
He laughed. "Yeah I can't seem to help it; you have a pretty nose by the way"
I narrowed my eyes at him and he pretended not to notice.
"What did you mean by someone like me?"
Well he doesn't forget easily
"Well I mean… your good looking…I would have thought you would have used that to your advantage to get more girls"
"I'm very picky with the types of girls I date" he offered as an explanation.
"All right… so you said that's what you look in a girl physically well what do you look for in a girl on the inside?"
"Someone with a sense of humor. It's always easy to talk to someone with a good sense of humor. So what do you know seems like you are my type" he said laughing. I rolled my eyes.
"Why haven't you ever been kissed?"
"Do I look like the type of girl that goes around snogging people?"
"Answer the question" he said smiling.
"Because I think that your first kiss should be shared with someone truly special to you"
"So you've never had a boyfriend?"
"I have but I've never kissed them- well on the mouth at least. I find it gross. But I know that when I find someone truly special to me the idea wont seem gross" I thought for a minute.
"HEY!" I said indignantly. He began laughing again, I hit his arm gently.
"Fine I get two questions this time"
the rest of the car ride went like that. I never had a best friend but in the little bit of time I had known Edward Cullen I knew that I would never be able to say that ever again.
"So where exactly are we right now?" I asked looking out the window.
"Beverly hills" he said.
"Nice" I said.
He parked on this random street
"Okay what do you want to do?" he asked turning towards me.
"Let's walk around, let's see what crazy things we can do around here"
"When you say crazy could the police get involved in this?" he asked frowning.
I laughed and kissed his cheek he gave me a coy smile then go out of the car. I followed behind him through the streets. About half an hour later my stomach growled.
Edward seemed to hear it because he turned to me with a worried look.
"Oh my god I'm an idiot. We haven't eaten anything"
"It's fine" I said
"No it's not fine I'm starving now that I think about it come on" he pulled to the nearest café where he got both of us something to eat and some coffee.
"Why didn't you tell me anything?" he said giving me an accusing glare.
"Well excuse me for not noticing. I was just having too much fun with you to remember my stomach's needs. And come I mean don't tell me-"I gasped as I took a look at the person that was ordering a coffee.
"April?" Edward asked, he turned around to see what I was looking at. Once he saw who I was looking at he turned around and sighed.
"Tell me you're not drooling over a guy?" he groaned.
"I'm not drooling and by the way do you know who that is?"
"Some dude with weird hair?" he asked in a bored tone.
"Look who's talking?"
He pouted making me let out a giggle.
"That my friend is the one and only Robert pattinson!" I said whispering out his name so he wouldn't hear me.
Edward looked at me blankly. "All right you lost me" he said
"Ugh he's an actor. A hot one too" I leaned back. "And guess who wants an autograph?" I asked cocking an eyebrow.
"Eat your food first" Edward said rolling his eyes. I snorted.
"What are you my dad?"
"No just you're good friend who cares about you and doesn't want you passing out on him"
I made a face at him. When I looked back at the place where Robert pattinson had been he was gone.
I blinked two times then rubbed my eyes to make sure I was seeing clear.
Then I gave a small scream that only Edward could hear.
"See what you do? He left!"
"Uh I don't recall ever kicking him out of here or anything" Edward said defensively.
"Finish eating boy I know what we are going to do today and you and I will be together in this, almost as if joined by the hip do you understand me soldier?"
Edward gulped but said "yes mam" humor was evident in his emerald eyes.
Less then five minutes and a nearly choking Edward later we where going out the store and going into a pattinson hunt.
"Do we really have to?" Edward whined.
"Of course we have to what kind of a question is that? And here I thought you were smart."
We walked in for a few minutes until I saw the back of his head. Oh that hair was unmistakable.
"There he is!" I said earning a few weird looks from the people around me. I ran ahead pulling Edward along with me.
I saw him get into a cab.
"Halt!" I said stopping abruptly. Edward crashed into me and we fell to the floor.
"Edward this isn't time for you to injure me" I said pushing him off of me.
"Well if I injure you then we don't have to go stalk a poor guy"
"Listen to me mister you wanted to come so now you have to do what I say and I say let's go" he huffed and frowned.
We got into the first empty cab we saw.
"Follow that cab" I told the driver who immediately did as he was told. I decided I like him.
"You're going to creep him out" said Edward annoyed.
"I don't care as long as I get a damn piece of paper with his signature on It.!"
"This is crazy April" he argued. I narrowed my eyes at him and got closer to his face.
"You want to know what crazy is? Crazy is my mom's mystery meatloaf. Now don't talk if you can't say positive stuff Eddie"
"My name isn't Eddie" he said in distaste.
"It is until you become a good boy alright?"
"You owe me after this" he said as he sat back against the seat.
"I'll make sure to add that to my growing list" I said sarcastically.
"Good thing you're keeping track of it" he replied still sounding irritated
The driver kept driving for about fifteen minutes. As soon as Roberts taxi stopped so did ours. I sped out of the taxi forgetting to pay the dude. I hope Edward paid. That's something else to add to my list.
I ran towards Robert. "Robert!" I screamed and I watched as the figure that was Robert froze on the spot.
I ran into him. If only he hadn't been right next to the fountain….
I felt my head hit the concrete of the fountain but I got up quickly as I splashed and sent water all around me.
Robert resurfaced the water too and was splashing water wildly everywhere.
"What the bloody hell!" I heard him say in his hot British accent.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry this seriously wasn't supposed to happen." I said as I tried to help him up. I began to feel heavy and tired. That run took a lot out of me, not to mention the fall into the pool.
As we both got up getting a hold of each other I slipped and pulled him back own to the water with me.
I resurfaced once again spitting out once more only to be met by Edwards face. He was looking at the scene from the edge of the fountain looking concerned and as if he might die of laughter at the same time.
"Be nice and help us" I said almost in a growl. He nodded and took my arm and pulled me out. Robert got up and out as well then he looked at me with fearful eyes.
"Oh yes I'm definitely leaving the movie business" I heard him mutter.
"Wait I'm so, so terribly sorry" I said turning to him. He looked at me and blinked a couple of times.
"Should be" he muttered under his breath.
I thought about it for a moment.
"I should but I think that was pretty funny"
"It looked funny" Edward said finally giving in to his laughter.
"Don't mind him. Okay I know I'm asking for too much after I practically tackled you into a fountain but can I pleasseeeee have an autograph?"
His mouth fell open and he looked at me for a long time. I gave him the biggest smile I could give him, I tired to get my heartbeat to behave but was failing miserably.
"You threw me into the water just to get an autograph?" he asked perplexed.
"Oh no that wasn't part of the plan" I said half laughing.
"Uhm okay?" he said uncomfortably.
"This doesn't happen to you often does it?" Edward asked now standing next to me.
"Nah I would have stopped acting if this happened often" he said almost laughing.
"Well she doesn't come to L.A often so I don't think you'll run into her too often" Edward said and I elbowed him.
"So can I?" I asked bringing robs attention back to me.
"I don't have any paper" he said with an apologetic smile.
"I have a napkin" Edward said regaining his breath.
"Oh I got a pen" I took out my pen out of my back pocket.
"This is definitely the weirdest fan encounter ever" he said laughing. He took the napkin and pen and scribbled on it. He gave me back a now damp napkin along with the pen.
"Sorry for the messy writing" he apologized. I felt my face break out into a grin and I hugged him. He awkwardly returned the hug.
"Thank you so much!" I said excitedly.
He laughed "you're welcome. I should get going though some people are waiting for me."
I let go of him and he looked down at himself he sighed.
"Guess I have to go back home and change" he said.
"Oh once again I'm sorry and thanks" I said.
"No prob. Hope to run into you some other time" he waved and then went to get a cab.
"So tell me something" Edward said, reminding me of his presence. "why did we get into a cab instead of taking the car?"
"Because I don't need you taking your sweet time. Can you hold on to this for me I don't want it to get wet" I handed him the napkin.
"Ok but let's go back and get you changed"
Though the day had become a bit sunny the wind was cold, makes sense I mean it is winter after all. The wind blew and raised Goosebumps in my skin.
"Hurry up" I said taking his arm and dragging him to go get a cab.
As we slid into the car the driver took in my appearance and turned to us.
"If you guys are high or something get out of this damn car." He said in a warning tone.
"Uhm sir, were fine really my friend here just got a little problem" Edward said quietly but with authority.
The man took one more look at me grunted then turned back.
"Where to?" he asked and Edward told him.
"Hey did you pay the other guy?" I asked.
"Of course I did who do you think I am, you?" he asked in a tone that made me feel stupid.
"Right sorry about that.
"I swear that as soon as I paid the dude and turned around you two where already in the water"
"You got a kick out of that didn't you?" I asked laughing.
"Yeah I don't see it everyday"
Once we got out of the cab we went over to the car. I got into the back to change. Luckily the windows where dark.
"Don't look" I warned Edward.
"Wouldn't dream of it" he said making a face.
I got in and began changing; he had his back to the window so it was safe.
Now I'm not a fan of changing in a car. I lost track of how many time I hit my head with the roof of the car. To top that of I felt a little bit of pain in my head from where my head hit the concrete of the fountain. When I was finished my head was pounding.
I stumbled out of the car. I tripped on my way out of the car. Edward took my arm to keep me from falling and steadied me.
"What where you doing in that car? People where passing by and looking at me and the car weirdly"
"I was wrestling myself into my clothes now come on I'm tired"
"You can't be tired" he said incredulously, his eyes widening in alarm.
"Fine just surprise me" I muttered as I got into the car.
All the way to wherever he was taking me he tried to keep me awake.
"Scream anything at me one more time and you'll be sorry" I said pulling his ear.
"Fine got to sleep butt here will be none of that in…"
"Uhu" I said not listening to the last thing he said. I was already asleep.
Surprise me he did.
"Wake up" I heard a soft smooth voice whisper in my ear.
"Five more seconds" I pleaded. He was quiet but I felt him take me into his arms.
"Five seconds are over" he whispered.
"I meant minutes"
"Come on your going to like this" he said, the hint of a laugh playing in his voice.
I sighed in content, I was so comfortable. I opened my eyes slowly and was met by Edwards face, wearing a gentle expression.
"This better be worth waking up Cullen" I muttered, smiling at the same time.
"Look around you" he said smiling.
I looked around but I could only see many cars parked around.
"Okay you brought me to a parking lot…can I go to sleep?" I asked.
"Oh god April no. come on you'll see. You're going to like it…I hope."
I sighed defeated but I got off his lap and off the car.
"How did you even manage to sit me on your lap?" I asked as I stretched.
"It was easy" he said getting off the car too.
"I bet it was" I said.
"Come on sleepyhead let's get going." He took my hand and led the way. I looked around trying to figure out where we were.
"We still in L.A?" I asked him.
"Yeah Anaheim to be more specific" he informed me.
"Oh" I said interestedly. He looked down to smirk at me.
"Figured it out yet?" he asked.
"Yes I finally understand the meaning of life" I said rolling my eyes.
"Here I'll help you. Look around"
I did as I was told.
The people I saw where mostly families. And they all seemed happy about something. Heaven knows why and it won't tell me.
Then a family passed by us and the two little kids ha a Mickey and Minnie mouse hat.
"Wait, wait, and wait" I said stopping in my tracks. Edward turned to look at me; he had a knowing smile plastered on his face.
"Were in Disneyland?" I said a bit too loud. I heard a few people snicker at me as they passed by.
"Took you long enough" Edward said chuckling.
"Oh god I love you!" I said hugging him.
"Okay…"
"Come on we have got a huge mouse to meet" I said fully awake. I seemed to be more excited than the kids.
I see why it was the happiest place on earth. It would be even happier if the lines for the rides were less longer. After my third complaint about the long line for the matter horn Edward snapped at me.
"April shut up you're worse than the kids" he said annoyed.
I looked away indignantly. Then I laughed, he looked at me like I was mad.
"Do I really whine a lot?" I asked him.
"Oh god yes" he said overdramatically.
"You're so funny when you're mad" I said laughing again.
"Okay that enough laughing at my expense" he said but he was smiling too.
"I'm sorry I just tend to be impatient sometimes" I said
"Really I would have never figured that out"
I snickered. Just then I caught a girl taking a look at Edward in a way tat said 'I want some of that'.
She caught me staring and glared at me. I glowered at her then turned back to Edward who hadn't noticed a thing.
I crossed my arms and huffed unhappily, Edward looked at me expectantly. I gave him a big smile, showing him my teeth. He grinned back and went to lean against the wall next to me.
"Why hello there" he said in formal tone. "And how are you today"
"Quite good actually" I said leaning into him "really good"
He chuckled and draped an arm on my shoulders pulling me closer to his side.
"you know, Friday morning I would have never thought that on Sunday I would be in Disneyland with a pretty girl I met on the street two days ago"
"Sounds crazy when you put it like that" I said with a relaxed smile.
The girl next to us seemed pissed.
"Sounds crazy in anyway it's put" he said snorting.
"True"
We went to California adventure and I even got into the Hollywood tower. Completely reckless of me because I could have gotten a heart attack right there and then but it was worth it.
Edward was panicked; he said I looked really bad. I had to sit down for about 15 minutes and calm down, I was having trouble breathing.
All the while Edward was there hugging me to him and whispering words to me to try to calm me down.
He wouldn't let me get into the California screaming after that. I didn't argue because he was right.
"So do you have like a heart condition" he asked as we ate.
"Yeah something like that….can we talk about this some other time, not in the happiest place on earth"
He laughed but agreed.
We left until the park closed and by that time fatigue catched up to me and I couldn't walk.
Edward carried me all the way to the parking lot as I hugged the stitch he bought me to my chest. When I argued with him for buying it for me he said that I would like it better if someone bought it for me than buying it myself. I wasn't surprise to find he was right. But in return I made him let me buy something for him. He settled for a jack skellington stuffed toy as well.
"Thank you" I murmured for the millionth time. My eyes had a mind of it's own and were beginning to droop"
"You have nothing to thank me for. I had fun today"
"Me too" a huge yawn escaped me.
He chuckled and I heard the car alarm. He quickly got me into the car.
I opened my eyes a fraction, Edward looked at me with a warm expression. He brushed back my bangs with his fingers. I smiled at him.
Seeing as how there where hotels close by the drive really wasn't that long. I was able to stay awake, and Edward quickly got us checked into a hotel and we went up to our room.
I took my night clothes out of my bag and silently went into the bathroom to shower and get ready for bed. After I was out Edward followed in after me.
I took out my journal and began writing on it until Edward came out.
"I thought you would be passed out by now" he said as he cam out of the bathroom in flannel bottoms and no shirt.
"I had to write so yeah…" I closed the notebook and put it in my bag. "I'm sorry for the way I talked t o you today"
He gave me a confused look. "What are you talking about?"
"When we went on my star hunt. I know you didn't wan to go and I snapped at you. I owe you for coming with me"
"Forget about it April, I did. I wasn't even offended" he said rolling his eyes. He went to put away his clothes in his bag.
"God Edward how can I repay you for everything you're doing for me. "
He sat on the bed next to mine.
"There is a way" he said with a sheepish grin.
I raised an eyebrow. "And what would that be?" I asked cautiously, though at this point I don't think I would ever deny Edward of anything.
"Can I sleep with with you for the rest of this trip?"
My expression went from cautious to expectant.
"I like sleeping next to you" he said shrugging, but his cheeks where slightly tinted pink.
I smiled. "Okay, I don't like the idea of sleeping alone any more than you do"
I jumped over to his bed and got under the covers before he even moved.
He turned to look at me with an amused expression.
"But no funny stuff Cullen" I warned.
"I'll be the perfect gentleman" he promised. I nodded in approval and raised the covers for him to get in.
Soon he was lying next to me and he turned off the lights. I turned on my side to face him.
"Goodnight" I whispered as unconsciousness began taking over me.
"Goodnight" he whispered back.
The last thing I felt was him pulling me towards him and me snuggling into him with my cheek pressed against his warm chest and my hands tucked in between the two of us. I gave a content sigh and let sleep take over me.
