Chapter 8
Tears, Pleading, and A Bonk On the Head
I woke up refreshed and energized. It was one of those mornings when you wake up and all the grogginess leaves immediately. Your cheery because the sun is out and warming your face as you awake. Those were the best mornings, and very very rare for Forks. I sat up happily, swinging my legs over the side of the bed sighing, to excited to wait for Edward to come. We agreed that he would come at 10 o'clock and it was only 8. I was too awake to crawl back into bed so I decided to get ready for the day. I headed into the bathroom and started the water. The water started heating up and the room filled with steam. I stepped into the shower relaxing completely, all the muscles in my body loosening. Too soon the water became cold and I was forced into the chilly hallway. I walked into my room and searched for something to wear. It was moderately warm so chose a long sleeve maroon-ish t-shirt, some ratty jeans and a black pair of converse. My hair was being suborn so i pulled it back in a hairband and hoped for the best. (Picture of outfit here I looked good enough and I headed down the stairs.
I walked into the kitchen, sticking bread into the toaster. I leaned against the counter waiting for the bread to toast. Glancing at the clock i saw that it was 9 so i still had an hour. My toast popped up and i grabbed some jam and spread it on the toast. Picking up a book and my toast i plopped down on the couch and began reading. Falling asleep sometime between 9 and 10 o'clock.
--1 hour later (exactly)--
I felt something cold on my face and i fell off the couch, only to be caught by two strong iron arms.
"What was that for??" I opened my arms, looking into two topaz eyes.
Edward chuckled "You weren't answering the door so I decided to come in and make sure you hadn't tripped or something."
"Fine, fine, let's go."
Edward gave me his crooked smile and picked me up wedding style and carried me to my car. He set me down in the passenger seat and rushed to the driver's side. We sped off toward the meadow and got there in under 10 minutes. It was a fairly quiet drive but it was nice being there, him holding my hand.
But it still wasn't the same.
When we got to the end of the gravel road, we got out and Edward opened the door for me.
"Ready to run?" He sounded like he was still apprehensive about him running with me.
"Yup!" I walked over behind him and he pulled me up.
"So you are completely sure?" He asked one last time over his shoulder.
I just nodded my head and he broke off into a sprint. I closed my eyes, remembering last time's incident.
I felt us abruptly stop and I opened my eyes.
The meadow was amazing. I didn't notice how long it had been since i had been here. It looked exactly like the first time, Edward's sparkling image before me and all the flower's blooming. It was extravagant.
I laid down, letting my senses take over. The sun warming my face, the quiet cool blowing of the trees. I felt Edward's cold body lay down next to me.
"So?" Edward asked.
"It's amazing." I said in awe. Though this wasn't even close to my first time in the meadow, it still was magnificent.
"Tell me about our life, before, when it was me and you and you weren't stuck in the past," He seemed very curious, though he did sound hesitant.
"I loved you, I would go anywhere for you, with, just to stay at your side. Your family was taking me in with open arms, we were to get married soon, then you were going to change me. I loved my life, it was so great." I surprised at how telling this story wasn't affecting me as much. I still felt my heart twist, but it wasn't unbearable.
"Loved?"
"Pardon?" I asked, my eyes still closed.
"You said loved. You said you loved me. As in past tense."
"Oh, no, sorry I love you." It felt strange saying this, though it was still Edward, he didn't seem the same. With the old Edward, we had been through so much together, we seemed so much closer. This Edward was still close to me, closer to me than anyone else, but he just seemed... younger.
I opened my eyes, Edward's face centimeters from mine. So much of this new life was repeated. But this part was fine with me.
Edward leaned down and we kissed. It was much like our first kiss. My adrenaline over reacted, my body took over. Edward became stone still, like last time. I pulled back, smiling, and scooting back. Edward's tight lips broke into a wide grin.
"Then stay."
"Sorry?"
"Stay here, stay with us. Don't go back, we all want you to stay."
"No, Edward, please don't," I didn't want to stay, i needed to get back.
"I won't leave you, you won't have to experience any of it again. We already know what will happen, we will be a step ahead of all the tragedies. It will be so much better.
"No, I can't stay, I need to get back, you have no idea how much I am leaving behind." Tears were spilling over my eyes. I didn't want to decide, break someone's heart. I wanted to get back without any decisions.
"I can't live without you," Edward said this quietly, almost a whisper. He was sad, devastated.
"I bet you won't! I bet when I leave it won't change, there will still be a "me" here, just not the exact me. Sorta like how there is two of you." I said this hopefully, hoping he would understand.
"I want things to stay how they are, please stay." I was now sobbing, tears streaming down my face.
"Can you drive me home?"
Edward quietly picked me up, and ran back to his car. I sat in the passenger seat, my knees against my chest. I didn't know what to say, there was nothing to say.
We arrived at my house and I heard Edward's phone ring.
"One sec," Edward stepped out of the car and started talking.
I had to think fast. I wanted to get home tonight, any way possible. Edward had to know I loved him. I picked up a receipt i found on the car floor and scribbled down my note in my ugly handwriting.
Edward-
Whatever turns out is meant to be. I love you, please remember that. I hope everything turns out okay. I am needed at home.
Love,
Bella
I folded it and stuck it in the cup holder.
I stepped out of the car and Edward closed his phone.
"Who was that?"
"Alice, she saw us at the meadow and asked if everything was okay," Edward said.
"Oh," I didn't want to continue the conversation.
"Well, bye." Edward was devastated, I could tell. I understood, this was exactly when Edward left me.
"I love you," I said hopeful.
"I will see you tomorrow." With that Edward turned around. I went inside and broke down. Tears were reforming and streaming down my face. I walked up the stairs. Actually running, trying to get into my room and get away from this horrible day. I stumbled falling down backwards, feeling a sharp blow to the back of my neck.
A black curtain swept over my eyes. Everything going black.

"Bella, love, wake up please" Edwards voice was barely heard through the high pitch screaming. His voice was hoarse, it sounded like he had been dry sobbing.
I took a deep breath in, noticing the screams had been coming from me.
"Edward please, I need to go back," I struggled trying to get out of his arms.
"It's okay, Bella, the pain has stopped,"
"What, no, I hit my head walking up the stairs that's all. It's nothing new. Now please, can I please get home."
"Charlie's not home, Bella dear, remember, your at our house for the next couple days. For the sleep over with Alice.
"What? You mean I'm back? Back home?"
"Bella, will you please explain what your talking about?" Edward looked confused, his head tilted to one side.
"When I fell down the stairs at your house, I woke up at the first day at school, I relived it, no one remembering anything. I had been there for at least a couple of weeks. Then when I was coming home I hit my head when I fell down the stairs at my house."
"No, Bella. You fell, and I thought you were unconscious. You've been out for three days. You were dying and-"
"I wasn't dying, I know I wasn't dying. There was barely any pain. All of before could not have been a dream," I said this shaking my head.
"Damn," Edward's face was contorted into pain, he was shaking, upset.
"What's wrong? I'm awake, I'm alright, just a bit-"
"No Bella," He cut me off, "You don't understand, we thought you were dying, I changed you. Your a vampire."

DUH DUH DUUUUUH!
Haha big twist. So basically with the story line, i'm screwed. This is as far as the plot goes in my mind. Uhg got to go plan more. Any way, babysitting tonight so i probably can update some more.
there will be a chapter about the OTHER edward, that has been left behind. so he will not be left out and sad.
Anyway hope the twist was twisty enough.
Also, I have got like 4000 hits, if everyone of those hits reviewed, then there would be 4000 reviews! HOW GREAT WOULD THAT BE?!?! so please review!
Thanks
