I could hear Edward rocking in the chair that was stationed in the corner of the room. I didn't want to pull the covers down from my face. Then he would know I was awake. If he knew I was awake, he would leave sooner. But I knew for sure that he would never leave without saying goodbye.
Perhaps this was my own way of keeping him longer for me.
"Bella." I heard his voice. I smiled to myself; of course he would know I was already awake. I pulled the covers down, little by little, watching his face inch over the covers. He smiled a little smirk.
I sat up all the way, and combed my fingers through my hair. I couldn't imagine what I looked liked. My hair felt tangled and messy, and I could feel the crustiness that lingered in the corners of my eyes. I blushed a little, turning away trying to fix up as best I could. Even after being with Edward for so long, I was still shy around him.
Edward let out a soft low chuckled, that only sounded musical to the ears. "How was your sleep?"
In truth I had no luck with sleep; I was up all night trying my best to convince Edward not to leave. But through all my pleas, he would just hide his face in refusal. Eventually I stopped asking him, but my brain was still churning with ideas of getting him to stay.
I had finally come to the only conclusion that suited me. If he would not stay, then I would go with him. Of course he would never allow that, but who said he had to know? The only one I had to be cautious about was Alice. If I had completely made up my mind to do this, she would surly see it and find a way to stop it.
"It was fine," I replied in a casual tone. Edward had known me for a long time now; he could read every expression, every move, and every heart beat. I would have to watch myself around him as well. If the thought even occurred to Edward that I wished to follow him, then he would surly make sure I was chained, and caged to the ground. Well in a figurative sense.
I would just have to act. Not one of my best qualities, especially around Edward.
"You look in thought about something. What are you thinking?" He smiled a little, but I could tell he really wanted to know what was on my mind. He must never know.
"Just, what I'm supposed to do without you here." He nodded once in understanding.
"Well, Alice had been dieing to spend time with you, and I'm sure Esme will have fun with you as well. My car belongs to you, so you can go anywhere you wish. You will also have my credit card, for any fun that you would like to buy."
"But I won't be with you." Edward sighed softly.
"Bella, must you make this harder then it already is? My sweet Bella."
I threw the covers back and made my way to Edward. He put his arms out, as I climbed in to them. I laid my head on his cold chest and hugged him close, taking in his smell. I could feel him playing and fingering the curls at the end of my hair. "I will not be gone long, I promise" His cold breath blew into my ear, and sent small shivers down my spine.
I snuggled closer to him. Edward put his finger under my chine and lifted it to his eyes. "You will stay here, won't you Bella?" My heart jumped a little, I did not want to lie to Edward. Of course I'll stay, until you leave. I nodded my head.
He leaned in and planted a soft sensitive kiss on my lips. They were cold, but just as passionate. Please don't leave, I wanted to say.
"Are you hungry?"
"Not really." Edward looked disappointed for moment.
"Bella, will you promise me something while I'm away?"
"Anything." Oops. I jumped a little as I inwardly kicked myself. Edward laughed a little seeing my mistake.
"Bella, promise me that you will not worry yourself about me while I am away. I want you to eat; I want you to have fun. I want you to laugh. Be the silly Bella I know."
"I will." I would eat, while following him; I would have fun, following him.
He put both hands around my face, and kissed the top of my head. "Thank you," he whispered.
I lifted my head, and looked him in the eyes. "I thought you were going to leave last night." His lips tightened around his cheek bones, as he tried to keep from laughing.
"Who could have had the heart to do so? You were truly restless, and although it did not seem much to my body, I gathered you were holding onto me with your whole strength. I had not the heart to remove your small hands away. I realized that the only way you were going to get any sleep, was for me to say the night."
I put my head down, a little embarrassed by my passed actions in the night. I remembered every time that Edward moved, I would automatically grab him close to me, while thinking, 'this is it, he's leaving.' Edward's cold hand cupped my chin and lifted it a little.
"Oh, don't get me wrong Bella. If it was anything, it was endearing and quite tempting. You are far too persuasive for your own good." He moved his fingers across my collar bone. "Far too tempting." My skin grew hot, and I felt the pink in my cheeks.
"Please don't leave Edward." I looked up at him, my face saddened at the thought of him leaving. One look at me, and he quickly turned away, hiding his face in unwillingness.
"Bella" he croaked, "take pity on me please." He pushed his nose to the top of my forehead. "You have to know that I would never leave you, unless I had to."
"You don't have to. I forgive you. Stay!" Edward sighed heavily. I knew he wanted to go, but I just could let him. He looked at me.
"You can't even imagine how difficult you are making this for me. If I had a heart, it would surly be in pieces by now." I jumped slightly, as there was a knock at the door. "It's open."
Alice walked in. She smiled at me, and looked at Edward. There an interchange of emotion between the two them. But it was not a joyful or saddened emotion. It was more so an irritation that flooded Alice's facial features, then anger. Edward never broke eye contact with her, almost as if they were having a secret conversation.
After a moment, Edward nodded once as he turned away and looked out the window. It was partly cloudy out. The dark clouds still lingered above in sky, but in between the sun's rays shown through. Like the day could not make up its mind of what it wanted to be that day. Did it want to be happy or gloomy? It was both.
Alice motioned for me. "Breakfast is down stairs." I shook my head slightly. I was not hungry. But before I could reply she gave me 'the look.' The one that I didn't want to push any further. "I really think you should eat something, Bella." I didn't want to make Alice use force. Mainly because I know that she would never hesitate to do so.
Cold breath tickled my ear as Edward whispered, "She's right. You really should feed your body." I looked at Edward, then Alice, then Edward, then Alice. Finally I huffed in defeat.
"Fine, I eat something." Edward smiled, but it did not touch his eyes like it normally did. I felt like he was going to do something, like disappear. I half smiled, and slid off his lap. He held me for a second longer, as he place a soft kiss on my lips. Alice tugged me out of the room and to the top of the stairs.
I made my way down the stairs slowly, looking at each one as I stepped. I could smell the fresh bacon, and pancakes, and other pleasing smells of breakfast. I looked behind me for Edward, expecting to see him right behind me. But there was no one. My body stopped in an instant. My heart rate quickened.
"No," I said as I ran back up the stairs.
"Bella," Alice called. She grabbed my arm, buy I yanked away in my attempt to get back to the room. I knew she could have held me, but she willingly let me go.
I swung open the door, and looked around frantically. "Edward!" I called. I looked at the empty rocking chair. "Edward!" My eyes traveled around the room in panic, until the open window caught my eye.
The light blue curtains blew in the cool wind from the half opened window. Edward's escape. He was gone. I had expected to hold on to him for a little longer. Had I known that his last kiss was a kiss goodbye, I would have made it more passionate. I walked to the open window and paused as I looked out. Everything was silent.
I hiccupped. Then again. It became more frequent as I realized that he was gone. A warm tear rolled my cheek. Alice was still standing in the door way, with an understanding look. I felt a cold arm wrap around my shoulders. Alice had quickly made her way over to me.
"Bella, don't cry. It's going to be alright."
"How can anything be alright when he's gone?"
"He won't be gone long. He'll be back before you know it."
"Where did he go?" I looked at her with hope that she might tell me, then the quicker I could follow. But instead she just looked away.
"If I were to tell, Edward would have my head."
"Why? Why can't you tell me? I have a right to know!" I didn't mean to shout, but I was angry. I thought I had more time with Edward, only to find out that my time was already out and I hadn't even realized it. And now I didn't even know where he was.
Alice rubbed my shoulders in a comforting way. "It's ok Bella."
"Please tell me."
She looked at me, gave me a pity look, and replied, "I will tell you, only if you promise not to act on it. Promise to me." I looked into her eyes. Well, this would be the first time of me actually lying to someone, but I didn't want it to be Alice.
"I promise." I said confidently. I worked hard to keep calm, and not get sweaty palms.
"Alright, he went….."
