Elaina's POV
Chapter 10. Sweet dream.
After I told every one about what happened to me, not leaving anything out, I wanted to talk Taylor. I wanted, no needed him to tell me it is going to be okay. We went up to his room and I stood in the middle of the room as he shut the door behind him. "It is going to be fine Elle, don't worry." he said walking over to me.
Your just saying that because you know I wanted to hear it.
No, I said it because it is true. And I knew you wanted to hear it. He thought smiling. I stared at him for a long time before hugging him tightly. He hugged me back placing his hands on my back. My back ached a little at his touch. He immediately removed his hands. "I'm sorry."
It's not your fault. I got these scars long before I knew you. At least when I'm with you, I can feel them healing.
Elaina, this person who hurt you. The monster will die. He thought looking in my eyes. Tears started forming in my eyes. One spilled over and Taylor lightly touched it. He stared at it for a long moment.
I'm not so different from you Elaina. He thought before remembering a memory. He had been abused by his father in his human life. More tears spilled over, and I knew Taylor would be crying if he could.
Remember last week when you asked me why I always wanted to be alone? He asked and I nodded my head.
If your alone, then there is no one to hurt you. He looked in my eyes and I hugged him.
I never told anyone that. Not even Edward knew. I only hugged him tighter as I whispered in his ear, "If your alone, then there is no one to love." I was alone for so long. I was looking for love, but did not find it. Not until I found you. He leaned back and placed his hand on my check. Elaina, I- His thoughts were interrupted as Alice came flying through the door. "Taylor! I need to talk to you. Now." I was very confused but Taylor looked sad. "I will be back shortly. Why don't you get in bed?" "Okay." I said doing as he said. He walked out of the room with Alice.
Alice had a way of barging in. I wasn't tired so I decided to explore the house. It was very large. I was in an empty room that had a large glass wall. "Hello." I heard Jasper say entering the room. "Oh, hi." "I would ask how your feeling but I already know." he said with a light smile on his lips. I could see why Alice loved him so much. "And how do I feel?" He walked further into the room. "Well, your mainly scared. And confused, no doubt Alice's fault." He said smiling widely. "And you feel very much love." I had not expected the last part. A thought came to mind that I had meant to ask him earlier.
"Jasper, you know all about vampire wars and fights and stuff right?" His eyes narrowed not sure where I was getting at. "Yes." "Well, what are my chances of me not becoming what you are? I mean I would have to fight some right?" He walked closer to me. "Elaina, The Volturi are very powerful. You know this. They get what they want. I'm sure with a army big and skilled enough they could be taken down but that would take years to put together." I sighed. There was no way out was there? "Thanks Jasper." "Sure. Oh and Elaina. Alice only wants to help you. As do we all. But your making it very hard. I know your scared, and you just want your parents, because you know you can get love from them and they wont let you down. But we want to love you. All of us. You just have to give us a chance." I smiled widely at Jasper. I walked over to him and hugged him tightly. "Thank you Jasper. I will try." I promised him before letting go and walking back to Taylor's room. He was on the bed already and I walked over to him and laid next to him.
Jasper is right you know. Taylor thought. Yeah I know. I thought before falling asleep for the remainder of the night.
My dream was vivid. But it was a dream and not a nightmare this time. And it was wonderful.
I was standing in a wide open space. I opened my eyes and it was beautiful. It was like a huge field. I saw Taylor on the other side. He smiled at me and we ran to each other. As soon as we got close Taylor put his hand on my check. I smiled as wide as I could. He leaned down and kissed me softly on the lips and I kissed him back. When he leaned away he spoke, but I could not hear him. I could feel the dream slipping away. I grabbed Taylor's hand, trying to stay in my sweet dream. But Taylor kissed my hand once before letting go and my dream ended.
My eyes fluttered open. I sat up to see Taylor sitting on the end of the bed smiling widely. That's when I remembered Taylor could read minds, so he most likely, and by the look on his face I was sure, he saw my dreams. He saw me dream of him kissing me. I stared at him wide eyed as his grin reached the sky.
Good morning, Elle. He thought to me. My face turned a bright red.
Good morning. I thought back.
It, uh, seems like you had a, well, a pleasant sleep. He smiled even more. I was about to explode of embarrassment. My mind screamed for one of Alice's interruptions. He winked at me. Next thing I know Alice is jumping in the room. "Oh, my, gosh, Taylor not cool! But congrates Elaina! Oh this just makes the future so much better!" She literally screamed. I was very confused. "Alice I-"
"No, no, no! Elaina it's okay. We have to do some shopping okay? We will be leaving in 5 minutes and I already called Jenny." Alice always seemed to get her way. She left after telling me what to wear, right down to what color underwear I should wear. I got off the bed and walked over to my bag I had from home. I saw out the corner off my eye Taylor looking at me. It was strange the way he was looking at me. Like Edward looked at Bella. But I liked it. I quickly shook the thought from my head as I left the room to go into the bathroom to change. As soon as I opened the door Renesmee was stood in front of me. "Hey Elaina. You ready to go shopping? Grandma has breakfast down stairs for you." She was so pretty. Her soft curls dangled gently by her shoulders. I loved her hair. "Okay thanks Nessie." I said and we went down stairs.
I eat my breakfast slowly before heading to the front room and sitting on the couch next to Bella. Alice had said she forgot something so it was taking longer. Taylor walked in and sat on the other couch. Nessie came to me and sat between me and Bella. She touched my hand and a memory of hers flooded my mind. It was of just a few minutes earlier. It was of Taylor looking at me. The way he looked at me. Nessie smiled and I knew what she was thinking.
Taylor gently coughed and we all looked at him. But he only thought to me. I have no idea what she is thinking about. Please for the love of all that's holy ignore Renesmee. I chuckled a laugh at his embarrassment.
Oh, no Taylor I would very much like to know what she was thinking. But it's okay. I liked what she showed me. I thought back and he looked at me a bit shocked.
I stood up and walked toward the stairs and called out to Alice telling her we had to leave. Soon she came down and we left. After we got far enough away I turned to her wide eyed and said, "I think I'm in love with Taylor."
