Edward just moved in the house next door, and if he wasn't watching over me like a hawk, it was Rosalie or Alice.
One of these days I'm going to crack. I miss my walks on the beach, my alone time, my time alone to read, really, I miss everything!
I'm not going to stand for it anymore. What's the point of living when you can't take some risks?
This stalker is ruining my life, and it's going to stop now. The way I see it, if he keeps me locked up, he wins.
So now, it's 2 a.m., and I can't sleep. Of course Alice or Rose would kill me if they found out, but I can't resist. I am going for a walk on the beach.
They say prisoners forget what it feels like to walk barefoot on the grass after they have been in jail for a while. I have forgotten what it feels like to have the sand on my feet.
I took off my shoes and walked to the shore. The feeling of the sand moving between my toes was amazing. I had missed it so much. I walked further, and let the waves hit my feet. Water has such a calming effect. I walked back to the dry sand, and laid down. I had missed it all. My freedom, the smell of the ocean, the feel of the sand, the sound of the shore, all of it.

I woke up in the middle of the night. I had a sinking feeling in my stomach. I looked out my window, and Bella's blinds were shut. That was wrong. She usually left them open to let the moonlight in. I had fought her on the issue. Some one (like me) could see way too easily into her room and watch her sleep. She claimed that the window was double bolted, and that as long as they couldn't get her, no harm was done. If the blinds were shut, it meant Bella was up to something.
I decided to check on Bella and see if she was okay. Since I moved in next door, Bella, Rosalie, and Alice have given me a key to their house. I was only supposed to use it in emergencies, but I classified this as one.
I opened their door and walked in. Bella would probably be up seeing as she's an insomniac.
No one was in the kitchen, so I decided to check the rest of the house for her. The living room was empty. So was the dining room and the hearth room. The game room (which Bella was trying to turn into a library, judging by how many books she stored there) was vacant.
I knocked on her bedroom door. There wasn't an answer. I peeked my head in to the door, afraid she may have company or something. I didn't really know about Bella's dating habits.
Her bed was still made. She wasn't in her bedroom.
Alright Edward, I told myself, calm down, she may be sleeping with Alice and Rosalie.
I burst into Alice's room without bothering to knock. Alice was asleep, alone.
"Alice! Alice, wake up! Bella's missing!" I shook her awake.
Her eyes fluttered open. "Maybe she decided to sleep in Rosalie's room?" Alice asked. I could tell she desperately wanted to believe it.
"Have you ever seen Bella sleep with Rosalie without you, too?" I asked ,highly doubting it. At the same time, I was hoping I was wrong.
We just exchanged a look and barged into Rosalie's room.
She was also alone.
"Alright I'll wake Rose up and explain while you look for Bella at the beach." Alice ordered. I gave her a nod and ran out.
I ran down the stairs and out the door. It only took a minute to get to the beach.
I ran along the shore. Eventually, after a few minutes of running, I changed paths. I was running to our spot. The place where we had bumped into each other the night it started raining. The night I lost the nerve to kiss her.
She was there.

I heard someone say my name, well, yell my name. A large sigh of relief followed it. I didn't have to turn around to know that it was Edward.
"Hey." I said, smiling, but still not bothering to look away from the waves.
"Bella, we were so worried about you, why didn't you tell me where you were going?" Edward demanded, running to the front of me. He grabbed my face and crouched in front of me.
He was extremely angry. His face was red. I couldn't believe he was angry that I didn't tell him where I was going, like some teenager. I was definitely ready to get past those years.
I stood up equally angry. "I wanted to get some fresh air! So-"
I was cut off by a pair of lips.
Thanks for the reviews, favs, and we even got a C2!
