Edward loyally stayed with Chloe during the night so she wasn't alone in the house by herself.. She was quiet and groggy the whole night. Edward made her a simple chicken sandwich and her favourite, hot chocolate with extra marshmallows she enjoyed so much. She ate her dinner in silence and fell asleep soon after that from the long day she had. Edward smelled for the linen cupboard and pulled out a woolen rug and a pillow. He carefully lifted her head to put the pillow underneath, threw the rug over her and tucked her in comfortably so Chloe was pleasant and warm. Edward tilted his head and looked at Chloe with his arms crossed; she was no longer in any pain and was as less drained as she once was. Cliché as it seemed, was at peace with herself while she slept.
"I do not know what it is about you Chloe, but I am not going to let anyone harm you" he thought to himself.
Chloe's phone began to ring and Edward looked at the unknown number. He wasn't comfortable with Chloe be woken up in her condition because she needed her rest. Chloe stirred from her sleep at first dazed, yawned and reached for her phone and groggily said hello.
"Hello Jacob" Chloe answered.
Edward stiffened; he could hear it was Jacob Black.
"How are you?" Chloe asked groggily.
"I am good, seems I am better going than you sound at the moment"
"I I am fine now just had a head ache. I am being well looked after though, by Edward"
"Oh yeah, real nice guy. But anyway I was wandering if you wanted to come and hang out this weekend if you feel up to it"
"Of course that would be lovely"
"Here are the directions from the diner…"
By now Edward had zoned out and was thinking how he was supposed to look after her now. Then Edward heard Chloe's parents come driving down the road.
"Sorry Jacob I have to go my parents are home, goodbye Jacob"
"Bye sparkles"
Jacob laughed and hanged up. Edward peered out of the window out towards her parents. Chloe rushed off the couch and to Edwards side and looked up to him worriedly " Please don't tell my parents about my head aches. Please…" Chloe pleaded.
"How come?" he asked as her parents walked up to the front door.
"I don't want them to know…" she continued to to stare at Edward.
"Okay" he replied.
David and Mary walked through the arch way of the lounge and were surprised to see Edward there with Chloe.
"Oh hello Edward. What are you doing here?" David asked putting down his keys on the table near by;
"Chloe and I were studying for a our project together. I also wanted to be a gentlemen and chaperone Chloe until her parents arrived home" Edward replied.
Chloe looked back and was surprised to find notes and Jane Eyre sitting on the antique coffee table.
" Oh my how gentlemanly" Mary commented.
"Well I best be set going. Pleasure to see you" Edward replied.
"You as well Edward" Mary said
"I will show you out Edward".
They walked to the front door and Chloe hunched over herself.
"Thank you for telling my parents today. They would have very much over reacted over the whole thing…" she told Edward.
"They are your parent… They are meant to be" he whispered.
"I didn't want to go to get…" Chloe began but her father called out.
"See you later Edward" and she quickly turned and shut the front door.
Alice pulled up in front of the house
"Everything okay Edward?" Alice asked.
"I am not sure, I can't read her mind. Well at times I hear murmurs and well not sure on what else…" Edward replied.
"What do you mean?" Alice asked.
"I honestly don't know Alice, I really don't know".
