Chapter 12

My heart was practically jumping out of my chest. I held onto the banister as I climbed up the stairs. I turned the corridor lights off as I entered my room.

I could hardly hear his footsteps, he was walking so gracefully. I climbed onto the bed and under the covers. Edward stood awkwardly in the centre of my room, looking around. I patted the space beside me. He smiled as he leaned beside me on top of the covers.

"You'll get cold." I sighed as I turned to face towards him, laying down on the bed.

"Don't worry about me." He whispered.

"Edward, you'll freeze. Get in." I order, pulling the duvet up.

"Bella, I can assure you that I wo-"

"Edward," I cut him off, "Get in." He huffed as he complied.

"Your so stubborn." He chuckled as he pulled the duvet up over us.

I suddenly felt very embarrassed again. I looked down at the pillow and then back at Edward to see that he had closed his eyes. Wait wasn't I meant to do something? Kristen said I should be confident and all I could succeed in doing was be stubborn. Kristen would be so proud of me if she saw me know! I thought to myself sarcastically.

I rolled onto my back as I tried to get comfortable, might as well go to sleep seeing as there was nothing to do. I fluffed up my pillow and laid back but I just couldn't find a comfortable position to sleep in. I turned my back to Edward as I moved again, I tried to close my eyes but the lights were still on. I moaned as I got out of the bed and switched the light off, momentarily forgetting Edward was there.

"Ready for bed?" He chuckled as I got back into bed. I nodded, my cheeks crimson red.

I laid down on my back as looked at my ceiling. Edward was silent beside me, hell he was hardly moving. I turned towards him. "Tell me about yourself?" I asked him.

He was silent for a while before replying."What do you want to know?"

"I don't know, what about your life before you got adopted?" This was a question I really wanted the answer to, I mean I did find a picture of a person who looked exactly like him dated back twenty years ago or something.

He seemed to be having a internal fight with himself, he was silent for a long time before speaking.

"I don't remember much." He whispered, " I guess you could say I was quite young when Carlisletook me in."

"What do you remember?" I whispered to him, my hand laying in between us.

He smiled as he picked up my warm hand with his cold one. He intertwined our hands then replied, looking deep into my eyes. It was like he was searching for something, it reminded me of the way he starred at me the first day, but there wasn't any anger in his eyes, just curiosity.

"I remember their names. My Father was called Edward Senior Masen, and my mother was called Elizabeth. She had my hair and green emerald eyes. My father was a lawyer and spent a lot of time at work, I spent most of my time with my mother, doing chores."

I held onto his hand tighter as he carried on talking about his past. He seemed sad now and I felt so guilty knowing that it was because of me.

"You don't have to say anything if you don't want to." I whispered to him.

"It's nice to talk about it. No one else really asks at home." He looked down at our hands. "This is nice."

"Yeah it is." I smiled. I held back a yawn as I starred at him. My eye lids drooped down though.

"Go to sleep Bella, it's late." He whispered near my ear. I shivered, not because of the cold but because I didn't realise he was so close. I slept with a wide smile on my lips. I could have sworn I felt his lips touch my head but I pushed that thought aside. I was undeniably comfortable with Edward around me, I don't know why I felt otherwise before, and I didn't need any of Kristen's advice, all I needed was to be myself. Edward liked me as I was.

Hmm, yeah that was very short. I normally do my chapters to the minimum of 1,000 words but I couldn't really add anything else to this without ruining it. I hope you liked it and please review. It doesn't take much time but it really means a lot to me.
