Chapter 22
Vanessa's pov
OK, so before I left Jake's house, I made him promise me that he would kiss me more often. He promised and gave me a peck on the cheek. I hated how he teased me like that. I walked back to Emily's, quite speedy if I do say so myself, and I do. I walked in the house and was starving. I went into the kitchen and made myself a sandwich. After I was done eating, I went up the stairs to my room. I looked at the clock and saw that it was one-thirty. I flopped down on my bed and fell asleep. I woke up and it was dark out. God, I must have been exhausted! That's what I get for not sleeping for a week. I had slept for nine hours, but I was still really, really tired. I saw it was eleven-thirty and I felt like an old person. Who takes a nine-hour nap and then wants to go back to sleep? Apparently I did. I raised my arms above my head and started to yawn."I heard a rap on my window and I pulled back the curtains."Hi, Edward." I said, still yawning."You look exhausted. Go to sleep." I shook my head and said,"No, thanks. I just woke up from a very long nap." He smiled and said,"OK, what do you feel like doing? It's pretty late but I'm sure we can think of something." I yawned as he talked. He looked at me and said,"Vanessa, I don't care how long of a nap you had, you are tired. Go to bed." I started to shake my head, but stopped when he gave me a dirty look. I gave in and said,"Fine, but I'm not happy about it. And how am I supposed to sleep when it's so hot in here? God, it's roasting. Be glad you don't get hot. Because, I feel like a turkey on Thanksgiving." He started laughing and got this devious look in his eyes. "What if I laid down beside you? It might cool you off." I smiled, he had a point. Nothing's colder than a vampire. It's a known fact. I feel like a know-it-all. I nodded my head and smiled some more. He came to my bed side. My bed is pushed up the wall, so if their are two people, one of them is against the wall. Edward picked me up and moved me to the side that had the wall, so that if I wanted to get out I had to climb over him. He laid down next to me, and he put his arm around my shoulders. I was dripping with sweat, so I laid my head on his chest and fell asleep. I was shaken awake very fiercely, by Edward. I was kind of surprised. "Is their a reason you woke me? It's still dark out." He was frowning, his eyes pitch black. A look of concern spread across his face. He looked like if he was capable of crying, he would have. "Edward, what's wrong?" He pulled me close to his chest and I saw tear stains in his shirt. I'm pretty sure vampires can't cry. "You were crying in your sleep. You were having a terrifying nightmare. Don't you remember? It was terrifying to me, and I'm one of the scariest things alive." I smiled and said,"Your not scary." He smiled and said,"Well, thanks. Do you remember?" I thought back and remembered he could see my dreams. I thought back to my dreams, my hair was in a mess. I know it was because I had a ponytail in it, and now it was gone. I looked like I had been thrashing in my sleep. I was sweating even with Edward next to me. I thought back to my dreams and remembered I had dreamed about the night dad had hurt me really bad. "Sorry you had to see that." He smiled and said,"Don't apologize. Is that why your here instead of with him?" I nodded my head and he pulled me closer. I thought I should be feeling uncomfortable, but I was completely fine. He let me go and started to run his fingers through my hair.I smiled and giggled. He laid me down on his chest and sang me to sleep. I could get used to that. Stop, Nessa! You are with Jacob. END OF STORY! Curse you mind for making me confused and curse you heart for feeling like a scrunchy being stretched two different ways. I fell asleep on his chest, and I did not have nightmares...
