A/N: I promised surprises...
Chapter 5
Edward and I are walking in the forest located near my house. He makes me feel queasy sometimes, maybe is the fact that he's so confident and good-looking. He seems to enjoy the outdoors. He's wearing all the apparel that you could find in a camping magazine. I'm sure Edward will enjoy buying clothes at Newton's Outfitters. Mike Newton will be thrilled.
I'm wearing my usual clothes, a shirt and jeans. I want to show Edward the river, my favorite place in Forks. I go there when I want to relax and to escape the reality that awaits for me at home. Maybe is not a good idea to show him the river. I want to have that piece of heaven just to myself, but something inside me is pushing me to take him there. I decided I will show Edward the river after all.
Edward stops near some bushes, he is whistling; he tells me he's imitating the calling of a blue jay. It sounds really nice. I love the outdoors, but Edward takes it to the next level.
Going to the forest is something that bothers Charlie; he doesn't like it when I go there. I guess that's the main reason why I adore going to the river, I can be alone and make Charlie upset at the same time. But dad has a good reason to be worried about the forest, some years ago his best friend Billy Black and him were out in the forest hunting for bears. Some hunters had been drinking alcohol in the area and they were playing with their rifles, Billy got shot in the back. He's in a wheelchair since that incident. Billy is lucky to have Jacob as his son. Jacob is a nice person; he's the closest thing to a friend for me. I just wish he could have enjoyed his teen years more. He had to grow up faster to take care of his dad. Jacob's mom left him with his dad, when he was two years old. That has to explain why Jacob doesn't trust women; he's afraid to fall madly in love and that later he'll have his heart broken.
I can't help to notice that Edward and I are dressed in the same color pallet; what a nice coincidence. If only I look as great as Edward does, his hair is an incredible copper; the sun just makes it brighter. His eyes seem to change color. I remembered the first time I saw him when I was unconscious; his eyes were an incredible gray. But now that he's wearing a sky-blue shirt, his eyes are an amazing blue.
The sound of running water makes me realize we're getting closer to the river; Edward seems to notice it too. We decided to run and see who gets to the river first. I'm not the athletic type of girl; I fall down in flat surfaces, so it won't be a big surprise if Edward wins the race.
I have lost track of Edward, he's really fast. He must be in the river by now, I keep a steady pace I don't want to fall down and ruin the day. Out of nowhere I hear a gunshot; my heart and feet race to the river. I start screaming for Edward, but I hear no reply. Let him be okay, let him be okay, I keep repeating that mantra in my head. I feel like I'm running miles and I can't reach the river, I thought it was close. Finally I reach the river; and my heart skips a bit when I see a body lying in some rocks. His sky-blue shirt is cover in blood.
Final Notes: I'm sorry for making this chapter shorter than the others... I had an accident and not feeling very well, but I had to write down what I had in mind.
I promise, next chapter will make things clearer.
More chapters to come. Please continue reviewing or PM with questions/suggestions.
