I feel like I'm writing Seeing Double all over again. You people leave the best reviews. I'm all tingly and jumpy! I think I'm in love... lol. :) Thanks so much. So, it's late at night, but you people are inspiring me. I'm not sure if this is any good, and I'm trying but I'm not positive what to do in the chapter. Like I said before, I know where I want to go, but I'm not sure how to get there. Glad you think this could make a great story, sorry if I mess it up (no, bad, quit being negative. dont worry, be happy : ) So, here it is...
Edward's hand wrapped around mine as we walked along the edge of the trees. I leaned into him and I felt his arm wrap around my cold body and instantly felt warmer.
"Thanks," I blurted out for some reason. His eyebrows pulled together and confusion washed across his handsome to me face.
"For what?"
"For driving me home, carrying my books inside, walking with me..."
"It's no problem, Bella. I love doing stuff for you." He smiled a beautiful crooked smile and my heart melted. I couldn't help but smile back. We turned around and began walking back towards my house because it was getting late and we had homework to do. And walking wasn't studying.
The walk back to my house was consumed with a comfortable silence. When we reached my door, Edward reached for the key that he already knew the location of. He unlocked the door, replaced the key and opened the door for me. He was such a gentleman. How could I have not noticed before?
While we worked, I sat near him. Our hands would occasionally brush, sending electric like shocks through me. Eventually, it became to late, my dad would be home soon and I didn't want another twenty-question session with Edward that seemed to always happen when Charlie and Edward were in the same room.
After he had gathered his things, he stood up and made his way towards the door. I followed.
"See you tomorrow, Bella," Edward told me as he leaned in the doorway.
"Kay," I mumbled, he grinned. He slowly brought his face closer to mine. I leaned closer, anticipating the kiss and the sweet taste of his lips.
I glared at the rare sunlight that shone through my window. The sunlight that had woken me up too early, had woken me up, preventing me from kissing Edward, even if it was only a dream.
I was still confused about my feelings, trying to figure out if I actually liked him or if I had just observed that he looked good and put the rest together. I hadn't told anyone, but I had been hinting about it to Angela. She of course kept bugging me about it. Really though, who wouldn't?
I sighed. There was no use lying to myself, I like him. Way more than I should.
I was going to tell Angela today. She had already randomly guessed. I just hadn't answered and had avoided the question. I had to tell her now.
I drug myself out of bed and turned on my slow computer before going getting breakfast and brushing my hair and teeth. Charlie had already left for work, so I had the house to myself, something I enjoyed immensely. By the time I got back to my room, the computer had fully loaded. I pulled up the internet and logged onto my email, half afraid of what would be waiting there from Angela.
'Listen here you wack job, I looked up that hint you gave me, and Edward is the only one that fits. I'm assuming its him unless you tell me otherwise...'
I groaned.
'You're right. All right. I like him. What on earth should I do, he's ALICE'S TWIN!'
I didn't expect to get a reply so soon, but it was there after I Xed out of a reply to Alice. I felt guilty talking to her. I wasn't sure what she would think, or how she would react if she found out. I didn't want to loose one of the only friends I had because of a boy, but I was undeniably attracted to her brother.
'Um, oh, uh, well, in my opinion, I don't know what you see in him (no offence) and he's annoyed me too much for me to get you're attraction to him but... you're my friend, and I can't be mad at you for your likes and dislikes. Even if it is Edward. Sorry, I shouldn't have said that, bad habit.
Okay, here's what you do:
1. Does anyone else know?
2. Are you prepared to admit to HIM that you like him?
3. You calm down, take a few breaths.
Seriously, it's gonna be okay.'
I smiled. Angela always knew what to do. Even if her comments about Edward bothered me slightly. I did as she said and took a deep breath. I contemplated her questions. I had told my mom, but no one else. WAS I prepared to admit that I liked him? I doubted it.
I typed back an honest reply and then stressed over the issue with her until she had to go. It helped and made everything worse at the same time.
Deep breath, Bella. Deep breath. I opened a new email and began, not putting in an address just yet.
hgoetrhihgiewthinkkfedifhabngolikegnkswppqfbayourhifapqabvcnabrothergebogbtinvie. I was about to click 'Alice Cullen' on my address book when I chickened out, even if I doubted she would even understand it. I clicked out and shut down the computer.
I decided I didn't want to get dressed today and picked out a book to read. I crawled back into bed and let the words and pages wash away the worry, and let the emotions of the story overwhelm me. I was no longer Bella with a crush on her best friend's brother. I was the character and the most I had to worry about was what would be on the next page I flipped.
I ate lunch, fixed dinner for Charlie, and took a shower but I stayed in my room most of the day. I clicked off my light when I glanced at the clock and noticed it was after two o'clock. My hair was still wet from my shower earlier even though it had been hours. I pulled it up behind me so it fanned out on the pillow.
I moved one pillow so I could hug it and fell asleep imagining the dream from the night before, trying to force my mind to have the same dream again, without sunlight interruptions this time.
