Chapter 3

So sorry for the long wait! Still no internet, but I'm at my dads for a while. Enjoy!

He sat their with tears running down his incredible face. I wanted nothing more than to run up and comfort him, but I knew that wasn't my place. "You had a nightmare too." I stated the obvious. He ran his palms over his face, and sighed. He looked back up at me, more tears coming. "Bella, I know this sounds weird, but…"

He looked out his window, and I stood their nervously. He held out his hand, arm extended toward me, as he looked at me with those dazzling green eyes.

After I figured out how to work my feet again, I moved them, slowly walking across the room grabbing his extended hand. His cool skin made me shiver, as my cheeks heated up.

He stood, making the small light given off by the full moon shine down on him. It didn't do him justice. In any light, he'd be gorgeous.

What was I doing? We were siblings now! And if they found out, we were even sleeping next to each other they'd flip. No. He needed comfort, I knew he did. So did I.

"Help me." He said in a struggled voice. I opened my mouth, but no sound came out. What was I supposed to say? I just nodded my head, as he led me to the bed. In no way at all did I feel weird or nervous. It was a weird feeling, and I loved it.

I climbed into the bed, pulling the blanket to me, lying down, tired from crying. As he climbed in next to me, I felt myself slowly slipping into unconsciousness.

The bright sun shone down on my face brightly, making me squint. I blinked furiously as I slowly woke. I felt butterflies, in my stomach, as I stared into the face of a god. I felt myself lightly smile, thinking how lucky I was, just to be near him.

His eyes flashed open scaring the life out of me. Our faces showed no emotion as we stared. I could get lost in his eyes forever, yet, I only had seconds. A smile slowly crept up onto his face, dazzling me again.

"Bella!" I heard Alice's wind chime voice ring throughout the house. My eyes widened as Edward's smile disappeared. I heard a knock on the door, as I rolled off the bed, preventing her from seeing me.

The door flew open, "Edward, have you seen Bella?" She asked confused. It sounded like Edward wanted to laugh. "I just woke up Alice."

"Humph. Your no help. Well, if you see her, tell her I'll see her later. Jasper, Emmett, Rosalie and I will be at the mall." The door shut, and I sighed loudly.

I slowly peeked up from the ground, over the bed top to see Edward running his hand threw his hair, his arm leaning on his knee, and him smiling crookedly at me. I blushed deeply, as he chuckled.

I sat back on the bed, and stared at the door. What if someone were to catch us? "Bella." Edward broke the silence. I looked over to him, and said nothing.

"Thank you." He said, he said smiling again. "For?" I asked, totally dumbfounded. "Helping me." I smiled. "Your welcome."

"I was right." His smiling face distracted me from my answer. "Uhm…uh huh," Is the genius idea I came up with. "Bella. I haven't slept in…nine years. Not that well, anyway. Not well at all." I stopped myself from being distracted. "Neither have I."

He stood up again, and ran his hand threw his hair. He looked so casual yet so stunning it blinded me. He was incredible.

"But, when I'm with you…I'm perfect." He laughed lightly. The sound of that sentence made my heart flutter. He was perfect when he was with me. Or rather, because he slept well. Would he use me?

"Edward, this is insane." I finally spoke. He turned, looking at me. "Yet so understandable." He was sitting next to me now, staring into his eyes.

I found myself getting distracted again, but quickly stopped myself. Now was not the time to be distracted by his utter beauty.

"What do we do?" I asked, his eyes boring into mine. "Bella, I'm not trying to use you. We don't have to keep doing this." I understood now. Edward wasn't using me, he was giving me the choice.

"I don't want you to suffer." Was my incredible way of saying: "I don't want this to stop, I really like you."

"Agreed." He smiled at me, that almost made me lose control.

No one was in the house on that bright Sunday morning. Carlisle was at work, along with Esme at work, and the rest of the kids at the mall. It left Edward and I. We spent the day getting to know each other better, making known that we told NO ONE about this whole thing.

"Didn't you say you played piano?" I asked as we walked passed it, in the huge house. "I do." He smiled brightly, pulling me to sit next to him on the black slick bench. I sat crossed legged on the bench as he pulled up the cover. And sighed.

"Haven't played in a while…hope I remember how." He smiled at me and I giggled lightly. Nonsense, I heard him play the other day, and before that. I hadn't heard much of the song, but it sounded like he was composing one.

He set his fingers on the keys, and started playing. The melody became soft and formal. It was amazingly beautiful, that I stared at him in amazement. It was the same song I'd heard bits and pieces of.

He finished off, as I stared at the keys. It was immensely beautiful, how could anything make such a beautiful sound?

"That was beautiful." I said in amazement. "What's it called?" I asked, still astonished. His green eyes met mine, as he smiled.

"It's your lullaby."

My what? "Your wrote me a song?" I asked, in disbelief. Why would anyone do that…and for me? I'm just Bella.

"You inspired me." He said simply. I blushed, "How could I inspire someone?" I scoffed. "Bella, you don't give yourself much credit." As he said this, his hand slowly crept up the side of my face. No. I couldn't do this! This could not happen!

He slowly pulled my face to his, and I spun out of his grasp, and onto the floor. I stood their watching him, as he pursed his lips, looking at the spot I was in.

"I'm sorry Bella." He turned to look at me. "It's okay Edward." He stood, and sighed. "No, it's not. I'm pushing us to far." His green eyes concerned. "Us?" I asked, completely confused. What were we…? Where did we stand.

"Edward, we're siblings…kinda. This couldn't happen." What in the fuck was I saying? "I guess your right." He sighed again. I didn't want to hurt him, and I did really like him.

"No, I mean…I like you. But…Carlisle and Esme. What if they found out?" He popped his head, up to look at me. "You like me?" I blushed again. "I've felt like I've known you for a while." I admitted willingly.

He smiled brightly. "Carlisle and Esme wouldn't care."

"Would they Edward? They barley know me, and now they think I'm going to be taking advantage of you." He ran his palms over his face, and groaned.

"What if we don't say anything?" He asked. "Lie about a relationship?" I raised an eyebrow. "For now." I nodded.

"I guess it could work." I thought about the possibilities of being with Edward. "But, I don't want to have to force you into a relationship with me just because of what we're doing." I said. "Your not, I really do like you Bella." He smiled taking my hand.

"Were home!" I heard Alice's wind chime voice, ring throughout the house. He dropped my hand softly as she walked into the room. "Oh, hey Bella." She smiled than looked to Edward, than back to me.

She gave us a questioning look, and I broke the silence. "I still have homework to do." I smiled, and ran up the stairs. I walked into my room, and laid on the bed. Edward and I having a secret relationship after only a week of knowing each other. How would that work? Would Carlisle and Esme get angry with us?

A light knock at the door jumped me out of my thoughts. Edward walked threw and shut the door lightly. I furrowed my eyebrows at him. 'What are you doing?' I mouthed.

'Carlisle and Esme.' He mouthed back. My heart thudded in my chest, as I jumped up out of the bed, and pushed him toward the door. "They can't know!" I whispered in a hushed tone. "I know." He looked into my eyes and snaked his arms around my waist.

My heart was racing like a hummingbirds wings. His touch sent shocks threw my body. He bent his head toward mine, and my breathing became erratic. His lips lightly touched mine, and I was on cloud nine.

My arms instinctively wrapped around his neck, and deepened the kiss. Small static shocks ran threw us. "Bella?" A knock on my door made me jump, and Edwards eyes were wide. He ran into the closet, and I rolled my eyes. I opened the door to see Esme, smiling.

"Hello dear. How are you?" she asked. "I'm fine, thanks." I smiled back. "That's good, just checking in. See you at dinner." She smiled and walked away. I shut the door, and sighed deeply. Edward came out of the closet, and smiled. "Are you insane? She could of caught us!" I whispered harshly.

"Bella, we'll be fine." I hoped he was right.
