I was overwhelmed in awed just by the sight of him. His absolute complexion and perfection fluttered my heart. All these night now I rarely received sleep. I thought about him in every spare second I had. I didn't to ask anyone about him. Seeing as he almost magical appeared into my room and out again, people might think I was hallucinating. And besides, secretly knowing a mysterious boy visits your room was quite exciting. And kind of embarrassing. After his visit, when eventually did find my sleep it would always be about him. I flushed at the thought and was scared that Charlie might find out because I'll been known for my sleep-talking.
I listened to the CD that was also stalled under the floorboard. There are no words to describe the tranquil sounds that eloquent quivered into my ear and coursed into my heart. I could almost imagine his pale long hands gliding around the piano, each note filled with passion. The music felt so familiar as if it was only for me.
"Bella? Are you going to wake up anytime soon?" The calling of Charlie woke me from dreamful sleep. My whole body was stiff from discomfort and my yawns came continuously and involuntarily. I dared my eye to open but only then did I realize it was a bad idea. Miraculously, the bright sun settled squarely on top of the sky. Dashes of pink and orange filled the rings of the sun and mixed in the sky, turning it onto healthy greenish blue. Like the tranquil sea. The sight of weather shined through my transparent windows. Widely opened window filled with burning light startled my widely opened eyes. For a second, my vision turned as white as heaven.
When my vision slowly came back, and I had to ask myself; have I woken up to the right place? Forks never welcomed the sun or the sky. Just plain sad cloud that liked very much to cry.
I quickly ran to the bathroom and slipped, regained balance and starting with my daily routine, getting a quick morning shower, got dressed and walking slowly downstairs.
I was greeted causally by Charlie, "Good morning, Bells. Really nice day today."
I nodded in response and smiled.
"So I was thinking I'll go fishing with Billy today. You don't mind do you?" The expression on his face made it seemed like he was asking an inexcusable favour.
"Of course not, you go and have fun fishing," I encouraged with a smile.
"And you should soak up some Vitamin C while you get the chance. Beautiful day today. I wouldn't want you to miss it because you're stuck cleaning after my mess."
I thought about his suggestion. Me and the sun don't really go with the world together. I stared out the front window again. It was a beautiful day. I longed to be basked in its sunlight. Maybe I will take Charlie offer in consideration. I might just walk in the sun and let my puny wings be exposed to the world.
"Well, I'll be going now. Don't worry about dinner. We're getting fish." he winked, plopped on his fishing hat and closed the door behind him.
For a few seconds I just stood on the corridor blankly trying to figure out what to do with myself. Today was Saturday. I could call Jake, I guess. So I did exactly that. It took me a while to remember Jake's phone number and many attempts and people telling me that I had gotten the wrong number, I finally got there. The ringing tone only sounded twice before someone picked up.
"Hello?" said Jake.
"Hey Jake. It's Bella. I was wondering if you were free today. We could hang out and do a little catching up."
"Really sorry, Bella. I kinda already got my day planned. Maybe next week, okay?"
I thought about it for a few seconds. Maybe it was best if I didn't walk with someone in the sun today. Just in cause of awakening catastrophes. Sure, I trusted Jacob. But I wasn't sure what his reaction might be when he sees me with wings stuck on my back. But a little bit of sunlight won't harm will it? Or should I just lay back in the sun myself for the meanwhile, till everything it sorted out.
"Hello? Bella, you still there?" Jacob franticly asked.
"Yeah. I'm still alive. I just remembered something. I can't go out today too. Trig homework and …things. Next time then?" I suggested.
He hesitated then answered, "Yeah. C'ya" and then he hung up.
Now for my other activities. I decided it was best to go out somewhere near the free road or near the forest so nobody could spot me. I wouldn't want to become the front papers article this week. Coming back from the end was already hard to deal with. I quickly went upstairs and pulled on the first piece of comfortable clothing I could find. While I was hunting through my wardrobe, I saw a little piece of silky fabric sticking out from the corner. I yanked it and a silky dress formal dress flowed out.
It was very lovely. With its soft blue chiffon, frilly and off the shoulder and was trademarked with a French tag. But it could never be something I would dare to wear. A formal dress like this needed matching stiletto heels and it would just be a walking disaster for me. The dress was smooth and it smelled like freesias. Ridiculously, I pressed the dress against my chest and strolled to the long mirror to have a look. Even merely press on my body I knew the dress was my perfect size. The spaghetti straps gave it away. I would never wear something that exposed too such expose too much skin. As I twirled in my room like child, a sudden tug of memory flowed through my veins…
I was in a grumpy mood. The frown plastered on my face gave it away. Despite my gloominess, the smile on his face glowered and dazzled me. I was watching the blue dress while staring worryingly at my one shoe. He ignored the angry set on my mouth and helped me into his car. I asked him where we were going. He was amused and shocked by my question and told me not the ruin the surprise. Eventually, from a spontaneous phone call the truth slipped through; HE WAS TAKING ME TO THE PROM!
The memory frailly faded away. The ghostly memory filled haunt to the dress. I quickly tided it away, changed in a snug yellow blouse, (A/N: I said yellow because I'm really bored of Bella wearing blue, ain't you?) grabbed my car keys and headed for the door.
The engine of my truck was a bit sleepy and reluctant to start with but finally it recognized its owner and proceeded forward on to the main road. Through it was a bit shaky at first; I deliberately drove of the main road after there were no cars in sight. The scenery around me grew more and denser as the area grew covered in green trees and bush. I looked through my review mirrors and there were no cars or people. I looked at the sun; it shot right at me and blinded me. Stumbling, I hopped out of the car—covering my eyes—and wobbling walked on the road. It was only when the sun had shone on the skin that I heard and felt fabric rip. I turned my head around to see my wings sticking out of the shirt.
It made quite a big tear. The shirt was definitely unfixable. But it didn't matter. The moment my wings were spread, my whole body felt light and euphoric. My looked at my hands to find them glowing with a touch I knew then had finally grown warm. Joy, excitement, astonishment and wander raced through me and instinctively, I opened my wings and arms wide and spun round and round like I did with the dress. I was so amazed that I didn't realize I was looking lustrously inhuman, like my body was springed with crystal dust. I didn't realize I was floating a fraction below the ground. But there was also something else I didn't realized that I wished I had.
Softly in the back of my ear, I heard purring of an engine. When my eyes adjusted to the car and not the sunlight, it was so late. The silver Volvo was heading straight for me. It seemed like it was trying to slow down but not succeeding. The driver couldn't see me. I was glowing too brightly, like as if the sun was stinging his eyes. My wrapped my arms around my head, waiting for the impact.
It came. I was airborne into the air. But the last thing I felt was strange. It was hard, yes. But it didn't feet as solid as the earth. It felt like secure arms scrooping up my body, so familiar. Carrying me to somewhere safe. Like always…

I was wondering what a BETA was. Some people have BETAs and they thank them for being there. I was wondering if I had a BETA too and that I should thank them…

Slippery Snow's Scribble------------------------------------------------------------- - - - - - - -
This was a really crappy chapter, I know. But I was really surprised that it ended up being so long, though. Probably because of all the direct speech. Well, I'm satisfied with the quantity but not so much the quality.
THANKS FOR READING AND REVIEWING!!
I think I need 6 more reviews for me to continue this story.
