I wonder how treaties were made. How could two sides, with such contrasting thinking, make an alliance.
But it happened with my vampires and werewolves.
My. Sigh.
Will they ever like each other? Will that day ever come? Will that day ever come when I could wrap my hands around one without hurting the other one?
My inner self knew the answer. I pretended I didn’t.
But I was never good at lying.
Slowly, slower than usual, I get up from my bed and wash my face.
”’Bella?”
I pretended I didn’t hear. I just stood there, with my closed, water dripping from my face.
”Bella, you are awake? He is here.” Charlie said the he in such a manner that I could almost imagine his face at it.
It took me a second.
My head snapped up. What was the time? Gosh, I shouldn’t have slept. I hurried down the stairs, surprised, or rather shocked, that I didn’t trip. And there he was. Eyes as topaz, skin as smooth as marble, my own personal miracle.
I still couldn’t believe that he was mine.
He was playing my favorite crooked smile, but I realized he was grinning. I frowned, and he actually gave out a laugh.
”Something funny?”, Charlie called out from the kitchen.
”Nothing, Charlie”, the velvet voice spoke. Charlie grunted.
He then looked at me, again with my favorite smile.
I tries to smile back, but couldn’t as I lost my trail of thoughts…
”Ah, Bella”
He took two swift movements and I was already in his arms. He planted a small kiss on my head and I sighed.
”Asleep, Sleeping Beauty?”
”Dreaming about you”
He sighed. I never like this sigh. Like he was regretting something.
”I can never”
”As if somebody would want to dream about me”
He looked at me as if I had offended him.
”I only want to dream about you”
”I still don’t know why”
”Really Bella? You see me as if I’m a god. A god with no soul. And you see yourself as if-”
”I see everyone with normal eyes. You are the extraordinary ones.”
He rolled his eyes.
”Are you here to fight”
He smiled. ”No, of course not”
”Then why are you here?”
He frowned. ”Do you want me to leave?”
”No, of course not! I-”
I almost broke the glass on the table, but his hand was too fast for anyone to see. In a fraction of second the glass was back in position.
Before I could speak, I was suddenly on the other chair.
”Bella?”, Charlie peeped in.
”Yes?”
”I’ve to talk to you.”
”Sure”
”Alone”
”Oh” was my genius response.
It took me a second to ask.
”’Why?”
Charlie grunted. ”Can’t I talk to my own daughter in privacy?”
Edward’s head snapped from the paper he was holding. ”Sure, Charlie” He quickly left the room.
I sighed. Charlie will never know that Edward could hear each and every word he said, even if outside the house. Or rather thoughts.
”What, Charlie”, I asked, my voice clearly indicating my irritation.
He sighed, hesitating. ”Bella..”
”Dad, if you are going to give me a lecture about something totally unimportant, then cut it off”
He glared. ”Its not unimportant. ”
”It must be”
”Has Jacob become unimportant to you, Isabella?
My head dropped as I flinched. The name of my best friend, or former best friend, brought many things to my mind.
A garage. A beach. A cliff. And a face. That made me flinch harder. The last time I saw my best friend. It still had nightmares.
”He is pain, Bella. He needs you”
”He wouldn’t pick up my calls”
”You should visit him.”
I sighed. Only if I could.
”I.. will. Soon.”
Charlie sighed. ”Please, Bella. Billy is worried. I want you to use your freedom wisely.”
I nodded. How could I tell Charlie? Tell him how Billy and his son hated me? How I was their enemies?
”I promise, Dad, that I will try my best.”
That was all I could do. Try my best.
Charlie smiled. ”Thanks, Bells.”
I finally turned my head up and smiled. ”Can Edward come now?”
He grunted. I considered that a yes.
I turned to the door. ”Edward!” Thought he didn’t need to be called.
He came, smiling my favorite crooked smile.
