I just had to add that lunch scene. Paramore is awesome and that's what I would so do when that song comes on. Also thanks for the reviews. I feel special really. Getting any kind of feedback makes me happy.
I got my car along with Ryan and Candice. They were bickering about some TV show they were watching. I didn't really pay attention because I was looking for Edward. My heart ached for him to be close to me again. A sigh left my lips and I sat on the hood of my jeep. Ryan sensing my mood stopped talking and came to me.
"What's wrong Mene? You've been all gloomy." He asked me when I stared off.
"You know what's wrong with her she misses Edward idiot." Candice says before I get a word out.
I opened my mouth to say something when I saw Edward in my line of vision. He just got here with his family. My friends say this and started smiling. I wanted to go over there, but I wouldn't know how to approach him. Candice and Ryan looked at me and nodded their heads like they can read my mind.
I hopped of the hood of my car and made my way to The Cullen's. As I got closer I couldn't help, but call out Edward's name. He turned in my direction and smiled. Forgetting myself I ran the rest of the way and jump in his arms. He was shocked for a moment until he hugged me back. I held on tightly and smelled that same hint of woods.
When I let him go I glared at him. He was very confused now. I was happy then angry with him. I punched him arm and said, "Are you fucking stupid or do you think that leaving without so much as a bye was good?" I punched him again. "You had only texted me once. Edward once. And it wasn't even a phone call. I'm your friend. I was worried about you."
He did look hurt, not at me, but at himself. "I'm sorry. I was off for a personal reason. Next time anything happens I promise to call. And to tell you before I leave."
I nodded my head and I was happy again. Bipolar much?
Today English was better with Edward there. We had time to work on our essay for The Great Gatsby too. We would've had it done if he had been here, but that's the past now. It was time for lunch and I was starving. I woke up late and breakfast was not an option when I still had to go get my best friends.
Ryan, Candice, and I with some of their other friends sat at our table. They were in Student Council with them and that's how our table got filled with people. I enjoyed it somewhat. A guy was talking jokes that had us breathless. Right then Candice put on Paramore, Ain't It Fun. My head couldn't help, but nod to the beat. My mouth went with the words as they flowed out.
The words came out louder and the rest of the table stopped talking. Candice joined in the song when the next verse came in. Ryan clapped to the beat and laughed at us. When the part came up when the instruments paused I stood up and got on the table with Candice right behind me. I would be too embarrassed later, but having fun was more important.
The people at the table clapped and cheered us on. We were singing and dancing while students laughed, cheered, or gave us weird looks. I was too happy to be bothered. The song was over and Ryan helped us down.
"You guys were awesome. You should go to the karaoke bar in Seattle. They really love when people get the courage to get up in front of strangers and sing." A boy in my gym told us.
I nodded still breathless. I felt a pair of eyes on me and turned to see Edward. He was grinning at me and he winked. My eyes widened and I looked back towards my table. A shiver ran over my body. I really wasn't prepared for that one. Against my better judgment I looked back at him. His eyes were actually on my legs as I had them crossed. The look he was giving my lower abdomen throb with excitement. I snapped out of my trance when Jasper hit him in the head.
Sitting in my window seat I glanced at the book often. It made me nervous thinking that it can take me again. Ignoring my inner warning I got up and sat on the bed next to it. The woman's words had me thinking. But I wouldn't open it. Not yet. Thinking back to Alice's outfit, I walked over to Alice's almost together dress. But I need to get her measurements.
I called Alice and she answered on the first ring, "Hey Alice."
"Hi Menah, what's up? She said, popping the p.
"I just needed your measurements for your dress. I have it together I just need to make sure it fits." I said to her.
"You can just come over here. It won't take long?" She asked. She was impatient for this dress.
"You know what I can do that. I just need to adjust it and add something to it. It feels plain to me." I told her when I thought how long it will take.
"Don't bother with driving Emmett and Rosalie is close to your house." She hung up the phone before I could question her on why there where here. A car horn honked outside.
My hands were full. I had my sewing machine, a box with her dress in it, and my bag of sewing supplies only contained Bella's truck and my Jeep. Emmett got out his Jeep and took my things. "Thanks." I said gratefully.
At the house I had Alice in the middle of her room with a blindfold so that she could be surprised when she saw the dress. I pinned certain places where it needed to be sewn tighter. I called for Rosalie to help her take it off since she can't see.
Alice came out in a robe with the blindfold off. I said, "I'm going to make some adjustments and I'll let you know when I'm done. I went to the room I woke up in which now held a desk for my sewing machine. The dress was a blue, grey color. It was short sleeved and came down close to her knees. I put a navy blue bow by the bust line and Held it up. I nodded my head, perfect.
I had run back upstairs and ran into the room. "Blindfold on now." She did as she was told and I put the dress over her head. I grabbed some short, navy blue heels with straps and put them on her feet. I starred in the mirror and took off her blindfold.
Did Alice make me deaf? No, but she almost did. Her scream went around the whole house. Before I could say anything, she hugged me tightly. "Thank you." She repeated over for a minute. She let go and twirled around in the dress. It really did compliment her pale skin. "Come on we have to show everyone." She took my hand and we made it downstairs.
"Wow. Menah it's beautiful." Esme told me when they finished looking at the dress.
"Thank you." I said shyly. A needle was still in one of my sleeves. I grabbed my arm to hurry and pulled back. A little bite of blood was on the palm of my hand. The temperature dropped in the room. I look up to see them watching me. Jasper looked happy for some odd reason.
"Is everything okay here?" I asked anyone that was listening.
Alice answered me and looked over in awe. "More than okay Menah." I nodded my head slowly at her.
I saw Edward sitting on the counter in the kitchen. He was little right at me. When I was busy looking the other Cullen's had a worry look in their eyes. He got the counter and walked to me and held out his hand.
We walked in the backyard and across the stream. When we got a good distance away we started talking.
"So what made you drag me out in the forest?" I asked him.
"No reason, maybe just to talk… it has been a whole week." He turned his head as if I would lecture him.
"Edward I already gave you a piece of my mind this morning so we're cool now, okay?"
He moved to a different subject. He seem a little curious when he asked, "You don't talk about your sister much, why is that?"
I let out a small breath of air. "We have a few things in common, but she's too quiet and she gets noisy when she doesn't know anything. She sees the world as if she hates it. What really makes me angry is how she treats Charlie. She has a father that cares for her and what she does, don't show up for years and just now decides to come when I do. Bella attracts trouble because she's so clumsy."
His eyebrows were practically in his hair line. He seemed surprised for some reason. Why we are even talking about her? It made me stopped in my tracks without realizing it. Why does he want to know about her anyway? And I asked him just that.
He said, "I have her in my Biology class after lunch. I was curious that's all."
I nodded my head and we went back to walking. A small field lay beyond a few trees where we decide to take a break from walking. I lay down in the tall grass where Edward chose to lay next to me. The minutes passed only with the birds and animals making little noises.
"Edward, have you ever had a girlfriend?" That came from nowhere. I could slap myself for that one. He's going to think I want him, but I can't with this book thing going on.
"No I haven't." I was shocked. He's drop dead handsome with a nice car and family with no girlfriend. That seemed a little odd to me, but whatever.
"What about you?" He asked me this time.
I laughed, "No. No one asked me and I would tell them no anyway. They would probably just get with me to hook up. I don't like it. It makes me feel like trash." I turned my away from him and starred at the trees.
He grabbed my chin and said, "Do you ever say that. You're beautiful and you put others before yourself. You are actually the most wonder girl I've ever met."
He did it again. His lips pressed against mine. My blood rushed through my veins and that same feeling I get came back. I reached my hand around his neck, into his hair. My other hand held myself up. My mind was hazed and I loved it. I kissed him back harder and he bit my lip.
He pulled away with a growled but I wasn't paying much attention. I grabbed him and kiss him again. He licked my bottom lip for entrance. I let him shoved his tongue in my mouth and loved every minute of it.
I was throbbing with desire, by surprise I pushed him down and straddled him. Our lips were still moving together as I rubbed against him with my hips. He gasped when I let a whimper of my own. He roughly grabbed my hips and made them go a faster pace.
The excitement in his pants made me rube harder against him. When I pulled away from his lips to breathe he flipped us over and bit my neck. I gasped.
A part of me wants to see how far this will go, but I heard that woman's voice telling me something. The words were jumbled and low. My mind was clearing up. I stopped moving and Edward froze. The words of the woman come back clear. The time hasn't come Menah. Your choices are your own, but who will be there to pick up the pieces. You must go back and learn. Learn, our forest child.
My head moved upwards to look at Edward. His face was full of panic and confusion. He got off me and we both stood up. This is the second time this has happened, but I still didn't regret it. Something in my head was telling me we are meant to be, however I'd just shake the thought away.
Without another look his way I ran. It wasn't in the direction we came from. The trees, they will guide me back to my house, hopefully. I had been practicing from what I learned from the book. I didn't touch it since that day I woke up at the Cullen's. The woman told me to go back and learn. I was getting much better at these riddles or whatever they might call it.
An hour passed and I was finally home. It was still surreal with what I can do with nature. I pulled down the door to my attic room and climbed up. There on my bed was the old, worn book. I picked it up and sat on my bed. The book opened and flew opened. The pages turned close to the back of the book. What stuck out to me was the title.
An Eternal's Mate
A mate is not found, but guided to an Eternal after they become of age, balancing love and power. When finding a mate one's lust is triggered and can possibly lose control of one's being.
Having a mate found is not just given to an Eternal. They are tested by faith to earn each other's love through the toughest of challenges. A strong Eternal will fight for one's mate; therefore, the other mate will break out of their minds on the task they thought they controlled. However, if they fail, they are doomed a death of a Hopeless.
The chapter contained more information on mates and mating, but I didn't read it. My emotions were on hyper drive and my mind wouldn't even let me process what was happening or what was going to happen. Maybe I can sleep it off. Maybe.
The next day I avoided Edward and sat at my table for lunch time. My mind was still busy, not busy enough to see Bella throwing glances at Edward at lunch. She was really going to piss me off. And those possessive thoughts scared me. The day passed by quickly and I decided to go talk to Bella after school.
Bella was listening to her music when I walked up to her. She looked shocked at me. I didn't know I was ignoring her. I was just trying to deal with some freakish powers and this non-human, handsome guy is my life mate.
"Hey Bella, I know I've been distance. I've been feeling like I'm all over the place. I'm sorry."
She shook her head, "No need to apologize. I didn't put effort trying to talk to you either." She paused and said, "Can I ask you a question?"
"Sure." I nodded my head, but was concerned what she might say.
"Well I've seen you and Edward talking, do… you two… go out?" I could have spit out my drink if I had any.
I glared a little. "No, but-"
The sound of tires screeching on the ground caught my attention. The world slowed down, and I meant that my mind had made it seem that way. Somehow I was pushed out of the way of the moving van. I hit the ground hard and my head landed with a crack.
The van got closer and the world came back as it was. I closed my eyes and waited for the impact of the van. That didn't happen; I opened my eyes to see Edward holding the van back and Bella looking at him in awe. The van had a large handed imprinted on the side. My eyes widened and I stared into Edward's eyes when he looked my way. My eyes blurred and I blacked out.
I was waking up, but I didn't move. I could hear Charlie and Bella talking. They were going back and forth about almost losing us. My eyes opened and I flinched at the harsh light. A groan slipped out of my mouth before I could stop it.
Charlie came to my bed, "Hey pumpkin, you feeling okay?"
I laughed then winced, "Like I knocked on the ground before a van could hit me."
I was lying on a bed while Bella set up next to me. Next to us was Tyler getting checked out by a nurse. Bella helped me sit up and balanced myself to stay up.
"I heard the chief's daughters are in." Carlisle came walking into the room.
Doctor Carlisle checked out Bella first, "It would have been a lot worse if Edward hadn't knocked me out of the way. " She presses he idea, "It was amazing he got to me so fast. He was nowhere near us."
I scoffed, "Now how hard did you hit your head. Edward was walking towards us when I was talking to you, when the van came he was right there and moved us out the way." I had to lie for him. Bella would soon try to get in their business. Carlisle just smiled and said as long as we both are safe.
Charlie and Bella left. The doctor checked my head for anything and didn't feel any sign of injury. Okay, shit. I forgot about me healing faster. He looked at me strangely and I smile innocently. He just told me I could sleep it off and if I was in pain to get come back.
I walked out the door and down the hall to the entrance to see Bella talking with Edward. My eyes were seeing red and I was getting anger knowing that Bella had some secret thing for Edward. I walked past them and bumped her shoulder. Edward called for me to stop. But I kept walking to get out of the hospital. An arm spins me around and I see Edward.
"What's wrong with you?" he said.
"I don't go ask my dear sister." I replied.
"What is that supposed to mean?" he looked confused.
"Just… just leave me alone for right now."
"I will. I just need an answer to my question." I nodded at him to go ahead. "Bella asked me what happened earlier, but you defended me. Why is that?"
"Edward we're friends… even after all that. And if you wanted to tell me your secret you would have if it was to protect me. So I'll let you keep yours and I'll keep mine."
That night Bella came to my room ask that question again, "So are you two dating?"
"No we're not, but if you decide to try and go with him you'll regret that decision. It's neither a threat nor a promise, just a warning."
It was awkward making that scene between them. It's like letting someone into your head to see what's going on. But anyway I'm also on another story for The Avengers and I hope to get some feedback for it.
