Chapter 1: Something Wrong

Edward was over at my house, as usual. Charlie was out for the weekend. I could barely rein in my excitement over that. Edward and I are watching television just relaxing and enjoying each other's company. He cleared his throat nervously to get my attention.

"Bella," He started. "I, uh, want to tell you something."

I had never seen him this nervous before. "Yes?" I prompted when he fell silent.

"Well, you have to know that this isn't easy for me. But," He paused.

I was starting to get nervous. "Y-yes?" I squeaked.

"Will you go out with me tomorrow night?" The words came out in a rush.

"What!?" I was so shocked at this statement, I forgot to even feel relieved that it wasn't something bad. He tensed.

"Will you go on a date with me tomorrow night?" He asked again, looking extremely nervous.

"Of- of course, Edward." I said shakily. His expression changed from nervous to suspicion.

"What's wrong?" He asked bluntly.

"Nothing, Edward. You had me all nervous, is all." I stated, trying to reassure him.

He looked relieved. "Oh." He said. "Well, then, I guess we should go to bed."

I only nodded. The suspicious look on his face returned. "Are you sure nothing's wrong with you?"

I nodded again. "Positive." I muttered.

Upstairs we got into the bed. I didn't feel at all tired, but faked sleep at once to avoid talking. I wasn't sure what was wrong with me. I supposed it was just nerves. We had never been on an official date before. That was all.

My cell phone went off. Before I even knew what had happened, Edward had answered it and was saying heatedly, but in a low voice, "Don't you know what time it is!? You almost woke her!"

There was a pause.

"But why can't you see that part?" He asked, clearly talking to Alice. I wondered why she had wanted to call me this late.

"So you don't know what she'll say?" He sounded very nervous now. "Perfect. Goodbye."

He hung up the phone and was in the bed in the space of a heartbeat.

"Who was that?" I pretended to be sleepy.

"Just Alice." He reassured me. "She was just telling me about a vision of tomorrow night. You'd better be prepared, she wants to dress you up like a life size Barbie."

"Prom all over again." I muttered. He chuckled.

"Go back to sleep now, Bella." He said softly. That was the last thing I heard that night.
