Sorry I haven't updated in awile, but I was writing and rewriting (and rewriting, lol) this chapter over and over again, and it didn't seem right, so I finally stuck with this version, enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight, but I sure wish I did...
I couldn't sleep, even though it had been over a month since i had seen that beautiful, pale-faced, god-like- OhmiGAWD, Bella! I really had to stop thinking like that.
The point is, it's been a month since I saw him drag that girl named Alice off, hopped into that (stupid) shiny, silver Volvo of his, and drive off. When he left, he should have taken my memories of him with him, but unfortunately, he didn't. So now i'm stuck with the memory of that murderous angel forever. Yay.
School started tomorrow, and over the course of the entire month, I most likely only got 90 hours of sleep. That may seem like alot, but if you divide that by thirty, that's only three hours of sleep per day. Not alot. Right now it was midnight, so if i fell asleep at this exact moment, I'd probably be able to get six hours of sleep. Probaly less, though...
I was definitley tired, that's for sure, but that didn't make it any easier to drift off to sleep. Besides, even if I was able to sleep, the dreams would only be about him. It was like I was obsessed with him, but I didn't want to be!
The look on his face just screamed 'DANGER!!' and that should have been enough to stop my obsession, but noo. It only made my obsession worse.
I had to get over him, but i couldn't help but wonder... what if I saw him again? What if he went to my school...?
No, no. totally impossible. But... what if?
I groaned, and rolled over. I closed my eyes and -surprisingly- fell into a deep sleep...
*~*~*~*~*
"AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" I screamed, practically jumping out of my bed and landing on the floor in the process. That was one freakin scary nightmare, and the fact that it was pouring outside didn't help, but, in any case, I was really glad to be rid of it.
Lightning struck, and I gasped as something started to move from behind my curtain. This was just like those scary movies, where the killer is hiding in the victim's room, and she is stupid enough to atcually go and look. I knew I should be the smart one, and take off down the hallway into Charlie and Renee's room, but I was 17, and I didn't want to look like a two-year-old, so I stayed.
The whole time I knew I was being stupid, staying, but I couldn't bring myself to leave the room, but i was able to push the covers from on top of me, and in my way to my window.
Halfway over, though, lightning struck, causing me to jump a mile into the air, take off back to my bed, and yank the blanket back on top of me.
It's only lightning, it's only lightning, it's only lightning, I told myself.
Whatever was behind my curtain took advantage of that moment. I heard my window open, a thump as something juped onto my window pane, and a swoosh of air as it jumped down, but even as I strained my ears, listening to hear the crunch as whatever it was hit the grass, there was nothing. That's to be expected, I thought to myself, it's raining, so there wouldn't be a crunch.
But it all happened so fast, I couldn't be sure if I atcually heard all of this, or I was still dreaming, and imagined it all. There was only one way to find out. I hadn't heard the window close, so I went to investigate.
On my way over, lightning struck again, but I only jumped. I tiptoed over to the window, and sure enough, it was wide open. I peered out into the yard, scanning for anything that could tell me what had been in my room.
Lightning struck again, illuminating the yard. There were -human?- footsteps in the mud, leading into the woods.
Huh. Sorry for the short chapter, but I swear it was longer. I promise it was like three pages long in my notebook.
And I think that ending is something you would call a cliff-hanger, right? Sorry, I'm still learning all this Fanfic slang... gimme a break, I'm only 13, lol.
