A/N Hey every one of my fabulous readers! I am terribly sorry it took me a few days to post this chapter. I have been fairly busy. Also it may take me a long time to get you the next chapter; my grandparents are coming into town so if I get any work down it won't be on the computer, lol. Anyways, I hope you all enjoy this, and I'm sorry if it is a tad bit short.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
We
were both young when I first saw you. I close my eyes and the
flashback starts:
I`m standing there on a balcony in summer air,
See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns. See you make your way
through the crowd and say hello, little did I know: That you were
Romeo; you were throwing pebbles and my daddy said stay away from
Juliet. And I was crying on the staircase Begging you please don`t go
And I said: Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone, I`ll be
waiting, all there`s left to do is run. You`ll be the prince and I'll
be the princess. It`s a love story, baby, just say yes.
So I sneak out to the garden to see you, we keep quiet `cause
we`re dead if they knew. So close your eyes, escape this town for a
little while oh, oh, oh
`because you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter. And my
daddy said stay away from Juliet. But you were everything to me. I
was begging you please don`t go. And I said: Romeo, take
me somewhere we can be alone, I`ll be waiting, all there`s left to do
is run. You`ll be the prince and I'll be the princess. It`s a love
story, baby, just say yes.
Romeo, save me, they`re
trying to tell me how to feel. This love is difficult, but it`s real.
Don`t be afraid, we`ll make it out of this mess. It`s a love story,
baby, just say yes.
I got
tired of waiting, wondering if you were ever coming around. My faith
in you was fading. When I met you on the outskirts of town.
And I said: Romeo save me, I've been
feeling so alone. I keep waiting for you but you never come. Is this
in my head, I don`t know what to think. He knelt to the ground and he
pulled out a ring and said: Marry me, Juliet, you`ll never has to be
alone. I love you and that`s all I really know. I talked to your dad,
you`ll pick out a white dress. It`s a love story, baby, just say yes.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
We were both young when I first saw you.
Bella's POV
Last night was the first night in over a year that I had no nightmares whatsoever. I woke up and thought I was in heaven. The sun was shining, birds were singing. The only thing missing was Edward lying next to me. I rubbed my eyes and rolled over, and heard paper crumpling as I did so. Confused, I sat up in my bed and looked at the paper. It was a note, written in an elegant script.
"Dearest Bella, I am terribly sorry I couldn't be lying in bed with you when you awoke this morning. I had a few things at home to do. I hope you are not upset with me for not waking you up to say goodbye, you just looked so beautiful while sleeping I just couldn't bring myself to do it. I will see you later on through the day; after all, it is Saturday. Hope you have a bright and wonderful morning my dear.
~Edward"
"Well that just explains everything." I mumbled to myself as I put the note in the drawer of my nightstand. I wondered if Edward couldn't be out in the sun because he would die. I would have to ask him when I saw him again. In the meantime, I was going to go take a shower, then maybe read a book outside and absorb a bit of Vitamin D while I can.
Charlie had gone fishing with Billy Black, whoever that was. I was supposed to remember him, but sadly I didn't. Sadly, when I had begun to walk outside, the sun was covered by the clouds. I frowned a bit but went inside. I had shopping I could do anyways. I went through the pantry and all the cabinets. We were clean out of everything. I wrote down my list and headed for the door. What I found when I opened the door I was so not expecting.
Edward was standing there; in all is Greek God glory, with a crooked grin on his face. "How would you like to come over to my house for lunch?" he asked. "Uhm… Well… I…. I'm not hungry." I tried to lie. He just smiled when my stomach betrayed me. "Come on, everyone wants to properly be introduced to you." He said and pleaded at me with his eyes. How could anyone resist those eyes? I sighed in defeat. "Perfect!" he exclaimed and tugged me to his car. I tried not to smile at his clear enthusiasm throughout the entire car ride.
I was really worried that they wouldn't like me. Edward guessed this and promised me that they already did and I had nothing to be afraid of. He did however find it hilarious that I wasn't afraid of THEM, only what they would think of me. "So you are not afraid of going into a house full of vampires, that drink blood, and could possibly want your blood, but you are not afraid of THAT. Oh no, only that they won't LIKE you." He said with a chuckle. I grimanced, I didn't find anything particularly funny about this.
Odd enough I didn't worry that much longer. I felt welcome enough and everyone was really nice. I found it hilarious that they all liked to play pranks on one another. Alice played one on Edward while we were all in the family room and it is something I will never ever forget.
Alice creeped up behind Edward somehow and managed to put a pink bow in his hair. No one said anything and no one seemed to think about it either. Alice must have tipped them off already. "Why is everyone singing Marry Had A Little Lamb in their heads? Seriously guys, that is horrible." Edward complained while covering his ears like he could make the 'voices' go away. I started laughing. I just couldn't take it anymore. "Bella, what's so funny?" he asked. By now I was too far gone to be able to speak a full sentence. "Go…. To… a…. mirror!" I said in between giggles. He looked at me suspiciously but got up and went to look in the mirror by the stairs. His eyes seemed to flare with anger and his nostrils flared. He turned and glared at Alice who was sitting right next to me now. "ONE OF THESE DAYS ALICE!!! ONE OF THESE DAYS!!!" He yelled while taking the bow out of his hair. It reminded me of the honey-mooners in a sick way. I was curled up in a ball laughing so hard tears were running down my face. This must have been what Alice intended because she jumped up and down shouting "I WIN I WIN NOW PAY UP EMMETT!!" She said.
The day went on pretty quietly after that. I fell asleep in Edwards lap and when I woke up I was in the car and I could only guess Edward had begun to drive me home. "Good Evening Sleepy Head." Edward said in an almost sing song like voice. I smiled, "Ello gov'na" I said mimicking his accent. He chuckled and we pulled up in my driveway. For some reason all hints of humor was gone, he had a stone like mask on his face.
That's when I noticed the car parked along the side of the house. "Edward what's wrong?" I asked him. "I can't go inside with you, but I will be up in your room later tonight." He said with a cold voice. "But why?" I asked, my feelings hurt by his tone. He noticed and looked at me with kindness in his eyes, "There is a complication. I will tell you about it later." He said to me and kissed me on the top of my head. "See you soon." I mumbled and got out of the car. He drove away the minute I closed the door. What on earth would make Edward not want to come inside when he and his family are allowed inside pretty much whenever they feel like it?
A/N I am so sorry this chapter is short and I am terribly sorry it took me so long to post it. I am hoping to have a new chapter up within the next three days if things go as planned. So review, let me know what you think, give me ideas lol
