I was sitting in the back seat with Angela as we were driving to Seattle. It was an hour and a half drive from my house. Jessica, Loren and Bella were sitting in the front seats talking there heads off -I swear they were separated at birth- Angela was reading "Romeo and Juliet" for English, and I was looking out my window wanting the night to end. Hey, it was better then staying home with a mother who asks a trillion questions a day.
Its been at least 45 minutes
since we left, and we were just about there. When -at a totally
random time- a train came out of nowhere and hit the car in front of
us. I mean it was totally random and weird. Part of the car landed in
a cornfield and the other part hit the front of Jessica's SUV Bug.
The next thing I knew I was the one being pulled out of the car. It
took me a few minutes to understand what happened. There were
ambulances and the police, and you guessed it. My mom. While the
firefighters were trying to get Bella, Jessica, and Loren out of the
front seats -which they looked fine to me- the one person I did not
expect to see was there. Edward Cullen. My mind raced and my heart
throbbed. He was standing next to me, watching. He breath a sigh of
relief when he saw Bella and the others made it out of the car in one
piece. The way he looked at Bella -liked he still loved her, even
though she broke his heart. But suddenly he looked at me.
"Are
you ok?" He asked. I just sat there on the ground like an idiot;
just realizing what had happen AND he was talking to me.
"Yes,"
I finally said. "Wait, how did you get here so fast?"
"I was
following you," He admitted. "I was afraid something was going to
happen to you, and I didn't want you to get hurt.
"You mean
Bella?" I asked. After all they were ex-boyfriend/girlfriend.
"No.
I mean you. I had a feeling, since Bella was accident prone, and that
you were with her, that something might happen." I had a feeling He
was the one to pull me out. Talk about duh. Bella, Jessica, Loren and
Angela ended up fine. Afterward we -as in Bella, Jessica, Loren,
Angela, my mom Carol, Bella's dad Charlie- were going to go home,
back to Forks. We made plans to reschedule but my mom and Bella's
dad said the same answer. After what happened, no one was going
anywhere for awhile. So they went to buy there dresses that night.
Jessica had a pretty light blue spaghetti strap dress with matching
heels. Loren went with a pale pink halter dress with matching pink
heels. Angela got a bright yellow dress with matching heels and
Bella, well she got a light purple halter/spaghetti strap dress and
matching…well…flats. As for Edward, I saw Him through the hole
evening.
It was crowed in my mom's 6 passenger mini van. So
when we were trying to figure out were everyone would fit and were to
go, Edward came up to us.
"I would be happy to give a ride home
to someone." He replied. Everyone just stared at Him.
"Mom
this is Edward Cullen from school. I'll catch a ride with him."
There was a question I wanted to ask him.
"Ummm…ok then, be
safe," my mom replied.
"Seat Belts," replied Charlie.
I
got into Edward's shiny silver Volvo. He walked slowly, at first,
to the drivers side, but then got in quickly.
"Hi," he said
with His crooked smile -that I loved.
"Hi," I said. I was
dazzled. We started the long way home. It was now or never. "Is
there something you want to tell me?" I asked.
"Like what?"
He replied with a confused look on His face, like he was trying to
read my mind -again.
"Like how your super strong and drop dead
gorgeous." I replied quickly, without thinking. I turned away form
him, to the window, blushing. He didn't say a word. "I do have a
theory," I muttered.
"Oh," He said with a smile.
"No,
never mind. It's stupid and unreal," I said quickly. We were now
in forks. We were in the car -what 15 minutes? Plus, didn't we take
the long way? I herd his honey colored velvet voice.
"Please
tell, I promise I won't laugh."
"Promise?"
"Promise."
Edward said with another smile.
"Ok," I started to say. "I
think you're a…" I cut myself off, afraid of what he will
say.
"Go on," He encouraged me. So I went on.
"I think
you're a… A Vampire. I know crazy right?" I asked. Edward
didn't laugh, he didn't even look at me. "Oh my God," I
whispered. "I'm right?" he still didn't say anything. "Cool."
I replied a little more confident. After a moment he asked:
"Doesn't
it bother you? That I'm a monster?" I waited then replied.
""No,
for some reason it doesn't."
"Your not like most girls are
you?" He asked.
"Nope. Should I be?" I asked.
"NO, your
perfect just the way you are," He replied. Talk about charming. "So
what do you do for fun?" He asked as he pulled into the
driveway.
"I mostly play the piano, I love music. You?" I
asked. He just stared at me and replied in a way I never expected to
hear in my entire life. "We have a lot in common. Were like the
soul mates," he muttered, barely hearable. But I heard him.
I couldn't think of anything else to say , so , before I said anything to ruin the evening, I said thanks for the ride and went inside my house. My mom arrived in 15 minutes with pizza and we ate in silence. I told her I was tired -but I wasn't really- and went upstairs. Nobody would believe me. No one. I fell asleep fully dressed and dreamed about Him. Edward Cullen. Jessica's light blue SUV Bug. We started to head east toward Seattle.
