Chapter 11 - Crash

Previous:

I opened my eyes and broke of the kiss to see Bella pushing lightly against my chest. "Edward, please. Let go." She didn't beg, she didn't scream, she just asked quietly. I let her go immediately and she walked a few steps backwards, not meeting my gaze. Realization hit me. Fuck.

"Bella- I- I'm- I'm so sorry" I stuttered, feeling my face turning red out of humiliation and embarrassment. She didn't want it. Of course not.

Before I could say anything else she was gone in the blink of an eye.

I think Charlie suspected something after I came into the house almost shattering the glass of the front door and ignoring his usual greeting. I might have felt a bit bad for him if it wasn't for the almost unbearable pain in my chest.

I should've known. I should've known better than to suspect that I could just kiss her but the rejection still stung. Badly. I couldn't get that image out of my head of her. I couldn't stop thinking about her no matter what and I couldn't get that kiss out of my head because it was all in all the best and worse moment of my life.

Best because, well, that kiss was perfect, not that I had any comparison to it. I groaned out, thinking that Bella probably already had tons of boyfriends with all their vampire glory. That thought only added to the knot in my heart.

It was already 3 a.m. in the morning and I still didn't get any sleep. I laid in my bed staring at the ceiling unmoving for hours.

Bella was everywhere. I couldn't get her out of my mind and even when I closed my eyes all I saw was her face staring at me after that kiss. Fear. That was the only thing I could see in her eyes before she dashed away quite inhuman. I smiled inwardly at that memory despite my rather depressive mood. At least she didn't hide what she really was in front of me.

After all, she kissed me back! For that moment I thought that she might like me, too and this whole weird thing between us wouldn't only be some unrequited love that would lead to heartbreak on my side. Yeah, I guess I was right after all.

After another attempt of sleeping and another round of daydreaming of Bella I just gave up and did my homework for the next day.

I didn't go out of my room when Jacob and Billy came over. I only left my room when I had to get something to eat and even then I just ignored their curious glances.

"You okay?" Charlie asked worried on Monday morning when I absently stared on my cereal bowl unmoving.

"Huh?" He woke me out of my trance. "Oh, yeah. Fine." I stood up and tidied up before murmuring a goodbye to Charlie before I grabbed my bag and headed out.

My fingers were drumming nervously on my leg while I sat in my car in front of the parking lot. I could either drive home before I got an anxiety attack or I could just walk into the school and pretend like nothing ever happened between me and Bella. If she will even talk to me. Okay. I can do this.

I got out of the Volvo. Bella's car that was usually parking next to mine was on the other side of the parking lot. Yeah, she was probably going to ignore me again. I couldn't help myself to look at her and her family who stood next to the Audi and the white Jeep that belonged to Emmett.

She was in a conversation with Jasper when she suddenly jerked her head into my direction. I didn't know how long we stared at each other. I could hear my own heart beating loudly almost painfully. She was so beautiful.

She suddenly turned her head just like the whole family did. Panic was written all over her face. What was going on?

I heard screams everywhere. Everything went so slow. I followed Bella's gaze to see Tyler's van coming into my direction. I couldn't comprehend anything and just stared back as the van came closer and closer. I didn't move until something hit me and knocked me over. But it wasn't the van. I picked myself up to see Tyler's van demolishing the back of my car.

"Edward? Edward, are you okay?" I knew that voice instantly. I whipped my head around to see Bella's face only inches away from mine. I just stared at her dumbfounded.

"You should go to the office. The nurse should check on you." She insisted with pleading eyes, her hand tugging on my arm, trying to wake me up from the trance I was in. I shook my head to clear my thoughts. I didn't even know that I was lying on the ground.

"I- I'm fine. Really." I tried to convince her.

"Edward, you're bleeding!" Wait. What?

"Oh." I touched the pounding spot on the back of my head. Yes, I was indeed bleeding. And I wanted to throw up now.

She helped me up from the ground. I watched her making her way through the students who were storming out of the school to see what happened. I just followed her still feeling dizzy from the blood. That gave me the opportunity to stare at her in awe. The way she carried herself, the way she walked gracefully through the crowds and caught the attention of everybody near her. It was hard not to be entranced by her. And it helped me to not throw up in front of her.

She watched me amused while the nurse checked on me. She knew I hated every second of it. I was glad when she finally said that I was alright and was allowed to go home now. She even insisted on Bella driving me home.

"I wasn't even bleeding that much.", I complained to Bella with a scowl while we were walking out of the school. It was the first time that we were alone and I wondered if she would bring up the kiss.

"You were almost as pale as I am!", she teased. We walked quietly to her car since mine was pretty much destroyed.

Tyler was brought to the hospital. Our two wrecked cars were still there. I could take care of it later on. I just wanted to talk to Bella now.

"So my blood doesn't bother you?" I asked feeling nervous. Maybe because this vampire talk reminded me of the day in Port Angeles or rather the day I kissed Bella who ran away from me.

"Your blood... is different. To me." I could see the uncertainty in her eyes. Maybe she didn't want to talk to me about this.

"You don't have to tell me, you know. It's okay." I wanted her to look at me. I wanted to touch her so badly.

"No, it's not." She looked straight forward pretending to concentrate on the road. She didn't say anything for a long time. I tried to break the awkward tension between us.

"It's fine, really. I trust you that you're not going to eat me." I joked lightly.

"I just-" She opened and closer her mouth several times. She looked at me briefly but didn't say anything anymore. I was dying to know what she was thinking.

She parked in front of my house but I made no attempts of getting out of it. She seemed to be lost in thoughts to not notice my nervousness.

Oh God, this is it. She's going to tell me what a pathetic loser I am.

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry I ran away that day. I didn't mean it." This was definitely not what I was expecting.

"I- what? Then... why?" I asked confused, trying to make sense of this conversation we were having.

"It just wouldn't make sense. You're human and I am..." She let out a shaky breath and I had to hold myself back from touching her. I wanted to hold her hand, I wanted to hug her, I just wanted to tell her that it's alright. "I just thought it wouldn't go right. Even Rose said it wouldn't go right. And then you kissed me and I just freaked out. I'm sorry."

I was so confused. Did that mean she didn't regret it or was she just sorry for me? She looked at me expectantly.

"Wait. I'm confused."

"I'm not going to run away again if you would kiss me. But I still don't know if this is going to work." She admitted. She was nervous, I could tell but all I could do was gape at her in shock.

"We can- we can do this. We can work this out. Please, just..." I couldn't even end the sentence. I felt giddy and I couldn't even comprehend that she would like someone like me, I mean... I wanted something between us and now I knew that she wanted it too. She was just scared. But so was I.

She played with her fingers nervously while looking at me. She looked so vulnerable. I didn't want her to feel like this. I took her hand and intertwined it with mine.

"I need you, Bella.", I told her quietly. I'm actually in love with you but I don't want to freak you out. Again.

I wanted her to say something. Do something. Anything. But she just stared at me.

A small smile appeared on her face and I knew that everything will be alright, eventually.

"There's still a lot I have to tell you about our kind.", She said sternly but there was nothing that could keep my grin away. I was ready for every horror story she was going to throw at me.

"I've got time. Do you want to come in?"

So we were sitting here on the sofa like many weeks ago when she visited me the first time while I was suspended. We were sitting closer, though. Me with one hand holding my cup of tea, with the other one her hand. I was holding hands with her! With Bella Swan!

If Mike Newton only knew... I couldn't keep the smug grin off my face.

"How long do you live?"

"We're immortal."

"Wow. Okay.. um...sun doesn't burn you?"

I was trying to list every vampire myth I could come up with. It was funny to know how far Hollywood was from the reality.

"Nope. But we still can't go out in sunlight." She said nervously and I gave her a questioning look. "I'll show you one day.", She promised me and my stomach flipped out of anticipation.

"Hm.. what about coffins?", I mused.

"We don't sleep." I looked at her disbelieving.

"At all?"

"No." Wow.

"No questions about our eating habits?" She raised one eyebrow at me.

"Uh..."

"We only hunt animals. Human blood still calls us but we are able to resist.", She reassured me.

"What about me? You said my blood is different." I was curious to know why my blood was different.

"Normally, we would always try to resist human blood. But with you, it's like you don't even have human blood that calls me. It's weird because your blood still bothers the others. I don't know why. I asked Carlisle and he is still making some research about it."

"Maybe I'm a freak." I suggested chuckling while drawing circles on her hand with my thumb.

"You're not a freak." She looked into my eyes and I felt light headed. I had to close my eyes. God, she was killing me. She giggled and I think she knew what she was doing to me.

"I have to go. We're going on a hunting trip." I almost pouted.

"When will you come back?", I asked eagerly.

"In a few days."

"Oh." Disappointment flowed through me. I thought that she was going to come back in a few hours.

We were standing outside the house now. I stuffed my hands in my pockets nervously. I had to do something. She was only inches from me away. Calm down. Don't freak out.

"I'm gonna miss you." I said quietly.

"I'm gonna miss you, too." She said with a smile on her face. I loved it when she smiled. She was so beautiful when she smiled. She was always beautiful.

"You meant it?" I asked her suddenly. She looked at me confused. "That if I'm going to kiss you again. You wouldn't run away from me?" I couldn't even look her in the eyes but suddenly her lips were on my lips. She was kissing me! And I was still standing there in shock. She was kissing me!

I put my hands on her hips, drawing her closer to me, deepening the kiss. I could feel my heart pounding loudly.

She pulled away and I tried to regain my breath again, resting my forehead against hers.

"I'm not going to run away again. Promise.", She whispered. I couldn't hold back the grin that was spreading on my face.

"Good.", I stated grinning before pulling her into another kiss.

A/N: Sooo, I changed a few things in this story. Edward is NOT Bella's La Tua Cantante. I just thought that it would make more sense this way :D AND I actually wanted Bella to have a dark past but then decided against it! So I hope you like how this story goes! Review if you want to :) Love you all!
