Chapter 4 – Glad You Came
The sun goes down, the stars come out
And all that counts is here and now
My universe will never be the same
I'm glad you came (Came, came, came)
~ The Wanted
Edward's POV
I felt like I was dreaming throughout Monday, a day off from school due to Labor Day. It was the best dream of my life. The fact I was not only able to see Bella live at her concert, but to meet her on stage in person and to sing with her was like… heaven. I just can't get over the experience of meeting a celebrity in the flesh. She was too real. Everything I know about her was everything I expect her to be. Kind, talented, beautiful and a big heart to the people she cares about. She had never ceased to amazed me. Despite that I only got to live that moment for one night, I will always cherish it. I don't know if I'll ever see Bella again until her next concert, but I will always remember that special night. I wonder if she'll remember me if I ever become a celebrity quarterback. I hope so, but I have my doubts since Bella has met numerous fans everywhere she goes.
After the relaxing day off, minus the fact the team and I had practice for the upcoming game this week, it was time to go back to school, week two of the school year. Thankfully, we didn't had any homework over the weekend because that would tamper the mood of what most us had went through on Sunday night. After going through my morning routine at home, I went to school to get ready for another day of education. As soon as I arrived and parked my car in the parking lot, the minute I walked into the building, I was welcomed with applause and cheers by not just the entire student body, but the faculty as well.
"Great game Edward!"
"Awesome play Cullen!"
"There's our quarterback!"
"Love you Edward!"
"You killed the game, man!"
"No, he slay them!"
"You sure slay the other team dude!
"The next Aaron Rodgers or Drew Brees!"
"Thanks Edward, thanks to you, I won fifty bucks from the Angel students!"
Everywhere I go, I was greeted by everyone congratulating me on a job well done at the game; being praised for my skills and leadership that has helped make this school a winning team giving them a championship title, their first since forty years ago ending their championship drought. I received pats on the back, high fives, cheers, a lot of confetti shot at me and a few kisses blown by a lot of girls. I couldn't helped but feel flattered about it all. Even though I tell people I wouldn't have won that game without the help from my team, they still praised me as the reason why we won. Even my teammates agree on that which was why I love them so much for how they look up to me. But even though we won the game, one win doesn't quite mean a thing. This is only the beginning of the season.
I soon ran into Alec and Jane's father on the way to the cafeteria. Aro is one of the most genuine person I know as the principal. He has shown to be polite to the point of being at complete ease even in the most objectionable of situations. He loves the school and treats his students like equals, as if they were his own children.
"An amazing game, played by an amazing player." Aro smiled as he shook my head.
"Appreciated it coming from the best principal of the school district." I smiled.
"Well, you know my system to how I run a good school," Aro said as he held out his fingers counting off the five words. "Responsibility, discipline, integrity, respect and spirit. That is what helps makes a student become successful."
"And I learned from the best." I smiled.
"Yeah, you and everyone else," Aro smiled as well and then frowned looking over my shoulder. "Well… almost everyone." I turned to see, not to see my surprise, from a few lockers down to see Mike with his friends as he was boasting to three girls.
"You wouldn't believe how I caught this man when he almost bought the wrong kind of shoes at my parent's store." He bragged. "I actually saved a guy's life. I'm not one to brag because it is my job to share my knowledge with the less informed. When I see someone about to do something wrong, I speak up. The guy said he even knew the mayor of Forks and would inform him of my heroics. Can you believe it?" He continued on as the three girls just stared at him looking totally unsure how to respond to breaking it out that they want to leave, but most importantly, uninterested based on their expression as Mike is oblivious about it.
"Changing a baby's diaper is more heroic than that." Aro muttered as I nodded my head. "Are his stories even true?"
"Not even close to the one time he once claimed he found Brittany Spears' jeans in which she sat on something that isn't chocolate." I said causing both me and Aro to shudder how Mike was lucky he found out the truth before it was too late. "I better go save them, again."
"Please do, because those poor girls look like they wish to be boys." Aro said and I nodded my head saying goodbye to him as I walk my head towards Mike and the girls.
As soon as one of them saw me, I gave them a smile causing her to smile big, adding a look of relief and said, "Oh Edward, you were amazing last Friday!" That caused Mike and his friends to turn their heads and saw me "walking by" and the other two girls did as well causing all three of them to rush over to me as they complimented me about the game.
"Thank you!" One of the girls mouthed to me as we were walking away.
"Don't mentioned it." I whispered to them once we were out of ear shot from Mike and his friends as we walked down the hallways.
"No really, you don't know how grateful how you saved us from Mike's sheer torture of his stories. I'd rather listen to Mr. Bailey's lecture in history than hear Mike." Another one said.
"And don't get me wrong, Mike is okay looking, but he's so… creepy! Trust me, I always get a bad vibe from him whenever he gets near me." The third one shuddered.
"You don't have to tell me that twice." I said as we made it into the cafeteria.
"Well, we'll see you around Edward. Thanks again." One of the girls said as the other two said the same thing.
"I'll see you around." I smiled causing the third girl to blush and shyly look away as she and her friends went off. I turned my head to see Mike glaring at me looking so red like a lobster. I swear, smoke is coming out of his ears. Once again, I feel smug. Next to receiving all the attention, that is the best thing about being a star quarterback.
"Yo Edward!" Demetri called and I turned to see him, and my friends already seated at a table.
"Hey guys, what's up?" I asked when I joined them to see everyone gathered around about something.
"The first article of the week came in and you already made headlines." Angela said showing me the paper as I sat down and read the article.
Titans Are Bouncing Back
The Forks High School Titans have already kicked off the school year with a bang to celebrate their fiftieth school year. After a shocking, along with devastating, loss to the North Central High School Knights in the 2017 WIAA State Championship last year, the Titans were able to show everyone why they were there in the first place.
The Titans hosted their first game last Friday night on September 4th, against the Port Angeles High School Angels winning the game, 52 to 38, in what has been a close match. With what everyone has witnessed coming from the offense, defense and even special teams, the team showed a strong performance that appears to be very promising.
"The team has been working hard during the off season and they showed great determination to bounce back after that shocking lost." Head coach John Clapp said. "You can see the hunger in their eyes. They really want that championship this year!"
Many of the players showed impressive performances during the game. The defense, also known as The Pack, held out the offense allowing only 164 yards in passing and30 yards in rushing yards in 20 attempts. Linebacker, senior, Seth Clearwater, 17, led the game in tackles with 10 along with 2 sacks and an interception that was returned for a 91-yard touchdown that sealed the victory.
As the defense held out strong, the offense didn't failed one bit to win the game. Running back, senior, Ben Cheney, 18, rush for a strong 110 yards with 8 rushing attempts and 5 receptions of 31 yards with one rushing touchdown while reenacting the Beast Quake made by Seattle Seahawks legendary running back Marshawn Lynch. Senior, Demetri Tracker, 18, who is the number one receiver of the team had 10 receptions with a total of 124 receiving yards with two touchdown catches along with throwing a touchdown pass. Senior, tight end Alec Volturi, 17, had seven receptions of 88 yards and one touchdown. The three key weapons were spectacular had not been for their leader of the Elite Four.
Senior, quarterback Edward Cullen, 18, shows that he still got it. The young quarterback show a high performance of the night going 25 of 29 completed passes taking one sack with 321 passing yards along with a 28-rushing yard, making 3 touchdown passes including catching a touchdown by his receiver, Tracker. All of it gave Cullen a perfect passer rating of 154.6 breaking his previous record by 2.4.
"Damn, great work on the photos there Ang." I said after reading more summary of the game causing Angela to smile for her involvement in the paper.
"I am just that awesome!" Demetri bragged, causing me to playfully shove him.
"Show off." I chuckled.
"Was there any doubt about this guy?" Seth smiled as he clapped both my shoulders giving it a shake.
"Even if Mike hadn't fucked up on those plays, Edward would still win with the same results! This just proves that he's the greatest!" Ben said.
"I'm nothing without you guys as my teammates." I said.
"There he goes with the modesty again." Heidi shaking her head with a smile. "That's what makes him so great."
"Now who's the showoff?" Alec commented with a chuckle, causing me to playfully roll my eyes.
"If you thought that was good Edward, you need to read this," Jessica said flipping some pages until she found it. "You've made even bigger headlines off the field!" She pointed at it and I was surprised at the headline.
Star quarterback meets America's Princess
Sunday was a night to remember for students of Forks High who are Little Swans. On September 6th, Bella Swan who plays everyone's beloved icon Evelyn Walker of the hit TV show Rainbow Garden, came to Seattle for her Shine Tour where she performed at Century Link Field singing her hit songs with Dutch DJ Martin Garrix as the opening act. Many of the fans from Forks High were there to attend and see Bella in person and being excited was an understatement.
I looked at all the interviews of students who were there expressing how awesome Bella is and the experience they had. I smiled seeing Mike not mentioned in it, and then it got bigger at what I read next.
During her concert, Bella invited not one, but two fans to join her on stage and sing some songs. Bella invited senior, Edward Cullen and his sister Renesmee on stage where Renesmee sang Don't Say You Love Me with Bella while Edward not only sang Almost Is Never Enough with Bella but also played the piano with her. If winning the game against the Port Angeles Angels was big then getting to meet Bella was just the icing on the cake for him.
That's when I saw the photo of me and Bella sitting on the piano as we were singing. She and I were looking at each other as we were playing, and I couldn't help but admire how we looked together. It was like she and I were the only two people in the world. The way she smiled that smile made my insides flutter around for some reason as I gently touched Bella's photo and just stared at it.
"It's official, he's gone." Demetri said.
"Huh?" I said when his fingers were snapping right in my face.
"Dude, you zoned out again like last weekend." Seth said.
"Only this time you actually saw Bella for real." Angela smiled.
"So?" I asked.
"You're totally crushing on Bella!" Jessica stated.
"I am not!" I defended while trying to avoid showing my blush. "I just… I'm just… being a fan." I said.
"The way you were looking at Bella now, including the concert, says so differently." Heidi smiled.
"Does not." I said.
"Does too." Heidi smirked.
"Does not!"
"Does too."
"Does not!"
"Okay this needs to stop or get very interesting." Alec said.
"Edward, a lot of fans are crushing on Bella. It's okay to feel that way. Many people have celebrity crushes which is natural." Angela said.
"Y-Yeah but the odds of me being with Bella are pretty much stacked against me." I said.
"Dude, you're gonna be in the NFL in the future, you pretty much have a bigger chance than Mike does which is point zero-zero-zero-zero-zero-one percent." Ben said.
"That's a lot of zeros man." Seth said to Ben.
Ben just shrugged. "Eh, I did the math for real and the numbers are not joking. That's less than his chances of actually getting a girlfriend." He said.
"So what are Edward's chances of him dating Bella?" Jessica asked. What?!
"Hmm," Ben thought while pulling his IPhone and started typing something. "Let's see… born in the same year… month of June… September… day twenty and thirteen of those days of birth… minus three… divided by 5… and then minus it from 2.75… times 100… 98.9 percent chance." He smiled causing Jessica to be excited.
"Okay you just made all that shit up." I said.
"Maybe I did, maybe I didn't." Ben smirked causing Angela to giggle.
"Okay how did we get to the subject of me and Bella to become a couple in the future?" I asked in annoyance.
"Fine, we'll change the subject on someone else." Heidi said in a "Sheesh" tone.
"Okay, let's talk about Jane." Jessica suggested.
"What's wrong with Jane?" I said confusion as I turned to her realizing she hasn't spoken since I got here.
Jane let out a noise that sounded so hoarse. She barely made out words as she pointed at her throat.
"She lost her voice from the concert and she was instructed to not say a word nor a sound according to your dad." Alec said directing that "Not" part to Jane. I was wondering why my dad looked amused yesterday when he came back from Aro that afternoon.
Jane responded by giving her brother the middle finger as a way to say "Whatever."
"At least we finally found a way to shut her up." Demetri smirked causing him, me and Ben to snigger. Then without warning, Jane swooped in and kneed Demetri right in the crouch, stomped on Ben's foot and punched me in the gut.
"Oof!" We cried as I doubled over having the wind knocked out of me while Ben was swearing like a sailor hopping on his other foot and Demetri fell back and curled up covering his balls where they got hit.
"I was about to warn you." Alec said calmly as Jane gave us that scary death glare while the girls and Seth laughs. Damn, for someone so tiny, she sure can pack a punch. Literally.
Soon, the warning bell rang, and it was time to get to class for school to start as Jane was already gone with Alec behind her.
"Is it me, or is Jane so cute when she gets mad?" Seth smiled as he left joined by the girls leaving me, Ben and Demetri behind as we tried to recover from the pain.
The day went by fast and there wasn't much to learn since it was the first day back after week one of the school year. Besides, all everyone could talk about was about the game and Bella.
Yeah, me and Bella, I'm not buying it. I mean, yes, I'm a fan of Bella Swan; she's my favorite singer and actress and I know a lot about her. Yes, I think she's beautiful but that doesn't mean that I'm crushing on her as if… I'm in love. I had gone out with a few girls before but we never… clicked so I don't know the meaning of being in love. Plus with me being a regular guy who is not well known except to the people living in the smallest city of Washington, the odds of me dating Bella is slim. Unless my status goes up as an NFL quarterback, then maybe the odds will do well in my favor. Besides, I doubt if Bella would be interested in a guy like me. Does she even like sports? I know Charlie loves the Seahawks and Mariners, but I don't know about Bella as the sports kind of person. Plus, will Bella even remember me? Who knows. She may have liked my post on Instagram, but she wouldn't remember every person she meets for a few minutes and then not being able to see one another. Like I said, my odds are slim. Oh well, a guy could dream, right?
After school, coach canceled practice today due to the fact he had to go to the hospital for his father who had a stroke, so we were free today. I arrived home picking up the mail and a package for my mom that was left on the doorstep and dropped it off on the kitchen counter and then walked down the neighborhood to pick up my sister from the bus stop. Since it was sunny today, which rarely happens, my parents decided that Nessie gets to walk home with me. I waited for twenty minutes until the school bus finally arrived where seven of the kids came out, Nessie amongst them.
"Hey there sis!" I smiled as I hugged her.
"Hi there big brother!" Nessie smiled her nice teeth.
"Showing off the Bella t-shirt I see." I said as we started walking home where Nessie was wearing a blue t-shirt with Bella on it.
"Yeah, I was telling everyone about the concert and how you and I got to sing with Bella!" Nessie said happily as she showed her IPod touch where I sent her the photos and videos I recorded.
"I'm glad you got to sing with Bella." I smiled.
"Me too," Nessie said. "Everyone got really excited about me and Bella, and about you and her."
"What do you mean?" I asked looking confused.
"They saw the photo of you and her singing on the piano and said that you two make a cute couple." Nessie smiled.
"W-What?!" I choked.
"Yeah, Alison saw it and said that you and Bella looked like you're in love, like how mommy and daddy look at each other!" Nessie said getting excited. Ah man, not my sister too. What is with everyone about me and Bella?
"Um… that's nice of you guys to think that." I said looking away as an excuse to be sure we didn't take a wrong turn.
"Do you think we'll get to see Bella again?" Nessie asked.
"I don't know, maybe when she comes back again." I said.
"She's so nice and pretty. I hope to see her again." Nessie said.
"That she is." I muttered to myself remembering that night we sang together and how close we were when we took a photo together. I shook my head to avoid dazing off again and turned to my little sister. "Well if I ever become quarterback for the NFL and ended up on the team in California, maybe I'll get you to meet Bella again." I smiled causing Nessie to squeal in excitement as she started jumping up and down.
"You think she'll remember us?" She asked.
"Maybe." I said. Though I have my doubts but I'm not gonna ruin that for my sister. "Hang on, your shoelaces are untied. Let me get that." I said as Nessie stopped jumping to allow me to tie her shoe. "There we go. Ready?"
"Wait, do you hear that?" Nessie asked and looked around causing me to be confused as I listen. That's when I hear whimpering and I looked around to see where it was coming from.
"It sounded like it came from… over here." I said, seeing some bushes near us causing me to get Nessie behind me in case it jumps out and attacks us when there was movement in the bushes making some rustle noises. It if some fucker that's about to kidnap my sister, he's gonna have think twice with me here.
However, it wasn't a person that came out, but instead a white puppy that looks small covered in dirt and leaves as it crawled out from the bushes, whimpering and crying.
"A puppy!" Nessie exclaimed as she was about to rush over to it. The puppy however yelped as it backed away putting half of its body in the bushes.
"Nessie, don't, you'll scare it away." I said as I got to her and got on my knee. "Stay put and let it come to you." I instructed as I put out Nessie's hand to hold out so that the dog can come to her. "Like that. Just be patient and let it come over."
"It's okay, come over here." Nessie said as she crouch down and ushers the dog to come over. "We won't hurt you. We wanna be your friends. Please?" The dog just whimpered as it looked at me and my sister until it slowly crawled out of the bushes again and walked towards us cautiously. It approached us until it made a distance from Nessie's hand. The dog slowly leaned towards it and gave it a few sniffs. That when it's little tail went up and rubbed it's head against Nessie's hand.
Nessie giggled as the dog was now all over her. "Look, it likes me!" She said as the dog was now in her face and started licking her. "Hehehe, stop, that tickles." I chuckled at their interaction, getting the dog's attention and soon it slowly came over to me. I held out my hand causing the dog to tilt it's head in curiosity as it starts sniffing it. That's when it's tail went up again and this time, it jumped right into my arms.
"Whoa there!" I said in amazement when I caught it as the dog started licking my face furiously. "You sure are easy to get along." I chuckled.
"Look, it likes you too! Oh can we keep it?" Nessie asked.
"I'm not sure how mom and dad feel about a dog in the house. Besides, it looks like she already has an owner." I said, showing the dog's collar.
"Aw." Nessie said in disappointment as I looked at the collar. There was no name, but it did has something written on it.
If she's found, please call me
And right beneath it was the number to call.
"But I'm sure if we ask the owner nicely, they will allow you to play with her." I assured Nessie with a smile.
"Really?" Nessie gasped and I nodded. "Okay, let's do it!"
"First things first, we should get this dog all freshen up and feed her." I said looking at the dog who lit up. Probably from the mention of feeding her.
Nessie and I made it back home with the dog in my arms and soon we went upstairs to the bathroom. Nessie held the dog as I turned on the water. Giving a dog a bath was a challenge for one so small; try holding her gently so that the soap doesn't go into her eyes so that she doesn't escape. Why are dogs being a pain in the ass when given a bath? It's not that bad to get cleaned. Once we were done, the dog got out and started shaking, sprinkling water everywhere.
"Ah fuck!" I cried covering my face.
"Edward,"
"I know, I know." I said giving my sister a dollar. "You dry the dog while I call the owner."
"Okay!" Nessie said as she grabbed a towel while I grabbed my phone and walked out of the bathroom. As soon as I did, the dog was out with Nessie on her tail, a towel in her hands.
"Wait, come back here!" She said causing me to chuckle as I dialed the number I memorized from the tag on the dog's collar. It started ringing for awhile until someone finally picked up.
"Hello?" A female answered.
"Hello? Yeah I'm calling because I found your dog." I said.
"You found my friend's dog?" She gasped.
"Wait, this isn't your dog?" I asked in confusion. Did I dialed the wrong number? Doesn't sound like it if this girl knew about a missing dog.
"No, no, she's my best friend's dog. She's been missing for two days. My friend was so devastated that she was such a mess worrying about her dog since she's only a puppy. Is she okay?"
"The dog? Yeah, she's perfectly fine. I just gave her a bath and I'm about to find her some food for her to eat." I answered as I looked to be sure nothing disastrous happened with Nessie and the dog.
"Well thank you so much for finding her. Where are you guys at?"
"I live on Riverdale Road." I answered.
"Where's that at?"
"Forks.
"Forks? Really?!" She asked in shocked. "That dog really went that far?" I hear her muttered.
"Where are you guys at?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.
"We're in Seattle but I'll tell my friend the good news and she'll come by to pick her dog up. Who is this by the way?"
"This is Edward, Edward Cullen." I answered.
"Edward Cullen?" There was silence, but it didn't sound like she hung up.
"Uh, are you still there?" I asked.
"Oh yeah, sorry, my boyfriend was telling me something. Anyway, my friend is in the showers but when she's done, I'll let her know you have her dog. Just text the address with the number you're calling."
"Okay." And with that, she hung up. I shrugged and started texting that number my address before I pocketed my phone and went downstairs and turned towards the living room and shook my head to see the dog standing there happily as Nessie was wrapped in a towel, giggling. I don't wanna know. I chuckled.
Once I cleaned up the mess, I went into the kitchen and looked into the refrigerator to see what I could give the dog to chow on and found some cut up steak from yesterday for her. She seems to like it as Nessie, and I watched her eat it no problem while drinking the water we provided. As she was done, I looked at my phone to see I got a text from that number I called.
Thanks so much! I will be there soon in like an hour or so. :)
I responded and cleaned up the dishes when the dog was done eating. Once that was taken care of, Nessie started playing with the dog in the living room; tossing the ball we found or giving her a tiny stuff animal Nessie doesn't need as I smiled and took pictures of them. Time seem to have passed by when I heard the front door open.
"I'm home!" My mom called.
"Over here mommy!" Nessie said as mom walked in with her bag until she stopped and saw us.
"Um, what is that?" She asked looking at the dog curiously.
I chuckled. "Come on mom, you know what this is. It's a... dog." I said when she failed to play along with this game causing her to chuckle while I rubbed the dog's head.
"Ness and I found her wondering around the neighborhood from the bus stop, but don't worry, I already called the owner. She should be on her way now." I explained.
"Okay good, because we don't need a dog. We already have enough creatures running around the house. We have you two, your friends and your father." Esme said in relief with a smile causing me to laugh as she came over to rub the dog's head before she went into the kitchen just as the doorbell rang.
"Oh, that's probably her." I said and got up, picking up the dog.
"Wait! I wanna give her something so that she'll remember me. Don't let her go yet!" Nessie said as she got up and ran upstairs.
"No running in the house!" Esme called. I chuckled as I went over to the front door. When I approached the door, I hear whimpering and I looked to see the dog giving me a sad look and I understood why.
"I'm sorry, I wish you could stay as well, but your owner is here and ready to take you back home." I said giving her a smile as I scratched her head before getting ready to greet the owner.
The minute I opened the door, I nearly stumbled as I froze in my spot. My eyes bulged so big that I'm pretty sure they were the size of plates at the person on my doorsteps. Wearing dark jeans and a light grey hoodie, her dark brown hair tied in a ponytail with sunglasses in her hands, even without the makeup, she was recognizable to the public eye.
"Hello Edward!" Bella smiled.
Surprised! What do you think of that? Again, thanks so much for the reviews. I can't believe how much success this story is compared to the rest. I guess I now know what kind of story you Twilight fans like huh. Lol. Well keep it up and I will definitely continue to make this one of the best all human story of Edward and Bella. Please review. Also, can we all agreed about Robert Pattinson being that beautiful according to science and how hot Kristen Stewart is?!
