Authors Note: Okay, so one of my readers who loved me enough to review, Entropic Kitten, commented on how melodramatic Bella is. Just to let all of you know, I am trying to do that. Also, go check out Entropic Kitten's stories. Some of her stories are really funny. And all of them are really good.
Disclaimer: I own Twilight. Sorry to make you all so jealous, but I am not going to share. Just kidding. Who do you think I am, Stephanie Meyer?
Instead, I will give you the next chapter
Okay, I think I've been talking long enough. Here is the chapter. (Prepare yourself for Edward)
Seriously?
A few hours after Alice and Edward had left, I was heading downstairs to eat dinner with my 'family'. It always felt so awkward when I was eating a meal with them, especially dinner, because almost anytime a family had just let me go was during a meal. Old habits die hard.
Dinner, just like usually, was delicious. I don't know what Esme did to the food, but it tasted like it all came from a 5 star restaurant. Today we had homemade pizza that she had made.
After dinner I wasn't even close to being tired, and I had finished my homework already, so I decided to go for a walk in the park. I informed Esme about my plans, and after her telling me not to be out too late, I left.
The air felt nice and warm when I first stepped outside. That was quite a change – the weather was almost never this nice in Forks, let alone after dinnertime.
I walked down the streets to the local park, which was about 5 blocks away. One of the advantages on living on the outskirts of town. I hadn't been here yet, but from what I heard about it I really didn't expect much. Alice had told me how they were planning on making it into a provincial park, but half way through their plans the person in charge of the plans passed away, and well... they kinda just dropped everything and left.
I looked around a bit. Trees were lying around everywhere. There was still yellow tape around some of the areas that looked to be campsites.
I was just standing there, looking around at the huge mess that really could have been something great, when a voice cut into my thoughts.
"So, you like coming here too?" I turned to see him. Edward. He was standing here. As much as I had dreamed about being alone with Edward for the past two weeks, I was suddenly scared. Not scared like he would hurt me, I hoped he wouldn't, but scared like I could mess up all my chances.
"Um..." I was at a loss of words, once again, in Edward's presence. "I kinda just walked here and... well I've never been here before.... I was just wondering what it looked like... No, I don't like coming here, because this is my first time here." I couldn't believe how much of an idiot I sounded like! I couldn't even say one simple sentence without messing it up! Now what would Edward think of me? Probably not anything I wanted him to think about me.
Luckily, he seemed to find that funny. "I see. Well, I come here for a walk every night." I gave him a look of disbelief.
"Why the hell would you come here? It's so....." I was so proud of myself for making a whole sentence and saying it clearly in Edward's presence. That was defiantly a first. And so was being alone with Edward.
He laughed. "Yes, but nobody is ever here. It's like my special place." I noticed he was now standing right beside me, our arms almost touching. That made me a little uncomfortably. As much as I wanted him to be close to me, I didn't want to fall for somebody who I would lose soon.
"Oh...." This was his special place. Now I was here. It was practically invading his privacy. "I'm sorry. I never knew... I can go..." I started to leave, but Edward reached out and grabbed my arm.
Electricity ran through my skin. His hand instantly warmed my cold body. It wasn't like any other touch I've ever felt. This was too magical to even be compared to one of them. I looked back into his warm, green eyes.
"Bella, you don't need to go." Was he really asking me to stay? No, I was probably just misunderstanding this. He probably was just trying not to be rude. I couldn't blame him either... Who wanted to make me mad, especially if they saw how much I flip out at the little things.
"No, no it's fine. I should let you be here alone in your special place." He still had his hand on my arm, and he wasn't letting go.
"No Bella, I want you to be here. Can we go sit over on a bench somewhere so I can talk to you?" Edward Cullen wanted to talk to me? Wow. I was too shocked to say anything understandable, so I just nodded.
We walked in silence over to a bench. In my mind I was trying to think of any possible reason Edward would want to talk to me. I hoped he wasn't just trying to be nice. That would just piss me off. Already too many people had done that to me. Tried to be nice, and soon after, couldn't stand it anymore, so they just went back to being their usual self, which half the time turned out to be a huge pain in the ass.
I got mad even thinking about some people who had done that.
Edward suddenly sat down on the bench that we had walked to. I sat down beside him, not quite sure what he was about to do. While I was thinking about this, I was looking at my toes. I was too scared to look up and see Edward.
After deciding I was being too much of a coward, I looked up to meet Edward's eyes. He was looking at me, concentrating so hard it looked more like he was looking through me.
"Bella," he said. His face turned a bright red. Wait, did he just blush? Why would he be embarrassed? It surprised me. "Well, this is really hard to say. But I need to say it. I can't keep going on without you knowing." I noticed he had looked down while he was talking. He looked up at me. I nodded slowly for him to continue. "Well Bella, even though I have only known you for a few short weeks, and I haven't talked to you that much, I think I'm...." he turned to stone while he said the words that followed. "In love with you."
