Sorry for the big big wait! Here is chapter 10 of My Life. I hope this satisfies you guys! Disclaimer: Stephanie Meyer owns this playground, but I just want to play in her sandbox…
Clouds… Clouds. I feel so peaceful. Am I dead? No, I'm not dead. If I were dead, I wouldn't feel the faint, but powerful ache of my heart breaking in two. One piece is with me now; the other piece is back in that little small town in state of Georgia, with my best friend in the whole world, Andrea, but there is something really off about this day.
My thoughts were interrupted by a booming, but whispering voice,
"Is she dead?"
"No, Emmett, if you can still hear her heartbeat, she's still alive," Edward explained. What! They can hear my heartbeat? I can't even hear my heartbeat… Something's very wrong with this picture.
"NOOO! I'm deaf!" Emmett wailed while running around the room.
I could totally picture Rosalie and Edward glaring daggers at Emmett while Esme and Carlisle shake their heads in disappointment.
Well, I'm awake now, might as well get up. As I fluttered my eyelids, Rosalie came into my line of eyesight.
"Good morning, honey. Did you have a good night's sleep?"
"Yeah… I did. Where's Alice and Jasper?" Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a flicker of caution between Carlisle and Esme.
"Why don't you come downstairs and I will cook you some breakfast. Do you want French Toast, Waffles, or Pancakes?" Esme asked.
"Waffles, please."
"Okay, dear. You can come down whenever you want to eat. It should be ready in about three minutes."
"Okay, thanks Esme, but uhmm… Can I please have some private time?"
Rosalie straightened up, "Of course! I'm sorry, honey."
When she turned around, she yelled, "Everybody! Get out!" She was just like a dog to sheep; herding everybody out of the room, though Edward was the last to leave. He stared at me with the most smoldering golden eyes I have ever seen, and hidden behind those eyes, there was a burst of passion so strong, it almost knocked me off my feet, and we weren't even touching, just staring into each other's eyes. Edward snapped out of it first, though.
"Yeah, uhmm… I'll see you downstairs." Then he swiftly walked out of the room.
When I got over the butterflies in my stomach, I laid my head against the wall and thought of the previous night's events: The long six hour ride on the airplane, the silent, but comforting atmosphere of driving back to Forks from Seattle, and then reliving reality crash down on my shoulders at the end of the day as I cried myself to sleep. Last night, my heart was sore and swollen, and then it dulled down to what it is now; a dull ache.
Then after I cleaned myself up, put on a black tank top, and black shorts, and slipped on my favorite black fuzzy slippers, I walked downstairs to the kitchen. I sat down on a stool on the island and sitting on my placemat was a plate of waffles with melted butter and syrup on the side, with scrambled eggs, all of it was steaming and smelled absolutely delicious, but for some reason didn't have sausage…. How did they know that I was a vegetarian? I don't recall telling them that I was one. Whatever…I don't have to worry about it too much, it doesn't really matter, but I'll ask them about it later.
After I finished eating breakfast, I headed toward the living room to watch some TV, to try to ease some stress and heartache out of me. Then after 13 minutes, I decided that something was wrong. Where is everybody? It's quiet, too quiet. All of a sudden, Edward grabbed my neck and stared down at me with those black hungry eyes, piercing down into my soul, with such hatred, I saw when I first met him. I was so entranced by his dark eyes, that I didn't realize my blood-curdling scream until I felt blood streaming down my arms from my throat. Then I blacked out.
I sat up as I gasped awake, my heart beating fast like bird's wings… Oh thank goodness... It was just a dream. What was that? I could never picture Edward looking like that, before… So why now? There is something very strange about this family… And I intend to find out. I quickly snapped out of my thoughts, because if somebody happened to walk by, and find a girl that they've only known for a little while now looking like an idiot trying to figure out a puzzle, which would be… Not pretty.
I shook my head and forced myself off of the comfy couch. I walked outside to their back porch swing to get some air into my clogged head. One thing I will never miss about Georgia is the insanely hot, humid air… To get away from that is pure heaven.
"What are you thinking about?" A voice said by my ear.
"Oh, gosh Edward! You freaking scared my heart out of my chest! I bet it's crossed the border to Canada by now!"
"Wow, well I'm so very sorry, maybe I have to go run and catch your heart before you turn blue… Oh, no! You're starting to turn blue already! Oh the horror!"
"Ha-ha, shut up! Why are you here anyway?" I questioned.
"Well, you've kind of been out here for about an hour now… And I- Esme started to get worried about you."
Wow, I can't really believe I have been sitting here for the past hour thinking about the different types of air… People are going to think I'm a nut.
"Well sorry about that. Nature is very beautiful and I just can't stop looking at it. It's a habit… Hehehe." Awkward… "Well come on, we're wasting daylight out here, let's go back inside."
I jumped up and pulled Edward with me back inside. Right when I opened the door, I heard a chorus of "Happy Birthday, Bella!"
To say I had a look of shock on my face was an understatement. How the heck did they decorate the whole house in an hour? There was a table full of presents different colors, boxes, shapes, and sizes.
"Oh My Gosh! All this… For me? How did you know it was my birthday?"
"Bella, honey, Mrs. Oliver told us all about you. She told us that you would never tell us that today was your birthday. That's also how Esme knew that you were a vegetarian." Rosalie explained.
"Oh… Good then."
"Open up mine, first!" Emmett begged.
"Ok, ok Emmy-bear." I laughed.
*30 minutes later*
My stomach is stuffed up like the turkey they showed in 'Superhero Movie' with Drake Bell (A/N: That turkey was stuffed. It was hilarious! )
My new fluffy puppy curled up in my lap. I loved all of my gifts: Emme- I mean Dad gave me a huge Teddy bear with a Rolex Watch, Rosa-Mom bought me a gold necklace locket with a picture of my birth mom, my twin, and I on one side, and my new parents and I on the other side, I remember her saying "I would never want you to forget your real mom" As if I would… Alice bought me two closets worth of clothes saying "I needed to brighten up my outfits, saying that I wear to much black." Jasper bought me a very expensive electric guitar, while Esme and Carlisle gave me a Cullen Crest bracelet saying "I will be a part of their family forever" which made me start crying… Again. And last but not least, Edward bought me a little Yorkie puppy, and I named her Coco because of her tan and black fur. He got me something very special because I have always wanted a dog, and I was about to get one, but then the accident happened. Bummer. Now I finally have someone to talk to if I am ever alone again. Now I am filled up with Cake, Ice Cream, and Pizza. Felt gooood. And somewhere along the way, I just had to fall asleep.
I wake up again at 2:33 in the morning. I walk down the stairs to find Emmett, Jasper, and Edward laughing about something. What are they laughing about at almost three in the morning? I creep down several more steps until I can hear what they are saying.
"I know man! Did you see the way I took down that grizzly? That thing was three times my size! That grizzly would have brought down a human in seconds, but not me. It was easy just to snap his neck!"
I sucked in a breath the same time as Jasper's cell phone started ringing... Alice's Barbie Ring tone. Whew, that was close! But Omg, That's not normal! That's not human!
By the time I finished thinking, Jasper was off the phone and all three of them were staring at me.
"Bella? Please come down"
I got up, and walked down the remaining steps until I was in front of the three boys, I suck in another breath and puffed out my chest, trying to look as brave as possible, "Who are you, better yet… What are you?" I asked.
At that same time, the rest of the family barged in; "Bella" Esme said at the same time Rosalie started to explain.
"No I want Edward to tell me." I said betrayed and with tears streaming down my face.
He told me dead in my eyes, "Bella, we're vampires."
