REVIEW PLEASE.
It's lunchtime and I'm walking beside Edward on the way to lunch and he is talking up a storm.Today was a good day so far hanging out with Edward made it all the better. He made me smile smile so much I thought my cheeks might fall off. "And I'm going to introduce you to the gang an we could kidnap you and carry you-" "Wait what are you talking about?" I ask him with a confused expression on my face. "I knew you weren't listening to me so I said something that would spark your attention." Saying that he smiled at me so brightly. I'm stunned too say the least. His smile could put the sun to shame. So me being me I had to ask this really stupid question "Dam,what kind of toothpaste do you use? I never seen teeth so white before...smile again let me see" He at me with a blank expression for a moment then he bursts out laughing rather loud. By this time we were in the cafeteria and everyone is watching us. I instantly blush beet red and look on the ground pulling my hair as a curtain. Eventually he stops and slings his arm around my shoulder as if it were the most natural thing to do. While we were in the line getting food he showed me the gang. My eyes bulge open when I saw them,usually I'm antisocial at school because of Phil and now Charlie. I couldn't risk it but I realize that I already have. This could be worse. I should stop it before anything starts. For their protection and for my sanity. I'm sure that they are all nice people because they're friends with Edward. I'm already in way too deep. "Can we sit by ourselves today please?" He stares at my face for a long time and I could tell that he sees the pain in my eyes because I could see the hurt in his. Although I don't know what. I couldn't take it anymore I look away as he whispers "Yea. No problem." We collected our food and walked to a table at the back of the cafeteria.
It was silent for a while but I had to ask "What did you mean earlier when you said 'The sun doesn't have to be the sun and the sky doesn't have to be the sky. It can be whatever you want it to be just know that it shines brighter wherever it may be'?" He smiled at me and said "You caught that?" I look at him with a serious expression "Cullen answer the question." I almost growled. He stares at me for a moment and says "You light a lamp and it burns brightly in the dark. It serves as a light to guide you to the next point. Once the light is burned, it won't out till it has nothing else to set ablaze." I stare at him for a moment digesting his words and a smile creeps upon my face "So you're saying you are here to guide and help me?" He replies with "Upon other things." A huge smile appears on my face when I say "I like you too." Well that was quick. I didn't think that would happen so quickly. I dash the cafeteria after that.
Sitting in my car waiting to go home I thought back to this afternoon. I decided to ditch afternoon classes because I needed to think about what I was going to do about Edward. I shook the thought out of my head. And I headed home.
I made my way up to my bedroom and sat on my bed for a while. When I looked at the clock I saw it was after five so I rushed downstairs to make Charlie some dinner.
When I was putting the finishing touches on dinner the front door slammed and I winced. "ISAAAAAAAAAAAABELLA!" I heard roar through the house. I took a deep breath and turned around to come face to face with my fears. "Where were you that you weren't present at your evening classes?" i STARED AT HIM MAKING NO MOVE TO ANSWER. "Answer me!" He shouted. I stuttered and said "I d-ditched" in a small voice. One minute I'm standing there and the next I'm doubled over in pain. He kneed me in the stomach. I reached on my knees trying to breathe properly. "And what did I say about talking to people. I heard you were talking up a storm with a certain Cullen." By that time I was on all fours. How did he know this? I got kicked in my stomach a few more times. Then he grabbed my arm and pulled me to see his face "Stay away from Cullen or this would end badly for the both of you." After which he threw me on the ground and I hit my face on something and started seeing black spots in my vision. Before I passed out I see Charlie sitting at the table eating the food with a smile on his face.
When I opened my eyes it was considerably bright outside. How long have I been out? This is the worst headache ever. Charlie went in on my head...Ouch. I hold on to the counter trying to get up and let me tell you that hurt like a bitch. When I was fully upright I lifted my shirt to see the majority of my stomach black and blue. I gently poked my stomach to make sure there was nothing broken. All Clear. I slowly made my way up the stairs to my bedroom,when I reached I sat on my bed. Although I really like Edward I want to protect him most of all. So I guess that means that I should avoid him. I really hate to do this and this is going to hurt a whole lot but I guess what needs to be done will be done. I just hope all my efforts won't be in vain. I look at the clock and it looks like I can take my time to get ready for school.
After I finished getting ready,I creeped down the stairs and out through the door as quietly as I could. I made it through the door and into my car before letting out a collective sigh. I threw my bag in the passenger seat and I looked out the front window. On my dashboard there is a note with my name typed on it. I stare at it for a while before slowly taking it up. I take a moment before I gage myself for what this letter could say and I open it and it said
I HAVE EYES ALL AROUND. I'LL BE WATCHING KNOW WHAT TO DO.
I look around creeped out out after that to see Charlie now going into his car waving and smiling at me. I gulped and turned back around then I slowly started the car and sped off not wanting to be there anymore.
I arrived at school a little too quickly for my liking. I sat in the car preparing myself mentally and emotionally for the day. I take a deep breath and hoped for the best.
