Chapter Two; Edmund

I've been in love with Edmund ever since I met him. He is my life, he's my soul... He's my world. He has my heart and one horrible move from him, he can shatter it into pieces. But I know he won't hurt me, I could feel it deep within my soul, I'm just too vulnerable and he knows it. I know he loves me, I could see it by the way he looks at me and how he holds me. Edmund doesn't want to let me go.. I mean everything to him. Yet, he is so popular, why would a popular guy fall in love with a girl that is a nobody? I'm afraid to ask him that, but I don't want him to feel bad before I have to leave.

I looked at him and asking,"Why me?"

He rose his eyebrow,"What do you mean?"

I sighed heavily,"I mean exactly that. Why me and not somebody else?"

Edmund gripped my shoulders,"Why you and not somebody else? Because you're personality is just perfect and you make everyone's day. You look like the girl of my dreams. I know you are not popular, but I don't want a girlfriend that is popular because those girls think they're all that. Take Joanne for an example! I love you for who you are and not some chick that needs more than my love."

I hugged him tightly trembling ever-so-slightly. Edmund rested his head on my head, his arms tightened around me. His lips pressed to my forehead, but I pushed myself closer to me. I'm afraid that I might lose him, I don't want to lose him. He's my first boyfriend and I just want him to be him. No one else's. Okay, that sounded a bit selfish, but it's true! I love Edmund with everything I got. I mean... No, that's exactly what I mean. If Edmund hurts me, I don't care, because I LOVE him. I know what people would say, they would say "It's puppy love" or "Love is stupid" and "Edmund is a player" but that's not true! Edmund is not a player.. He just wants love like I do. He wants his heart to be cared for.

I nuzzled him through his shirt,"I love you, Edmund Cooper."

He chuckled,"I love you too, Jay Phoenix."

I looked up at him,"Hey, Edmund?"

Edmund grinned a bit,"Oh, wait. Jay, how would you like to be my Valentine?"

My eyes widen,"Of course, but that's Joy's, Jax's, and mine birthday! Crap!"

Edmund's smile widen as he scooped me up and threw me over his shoulder. I squeaked and grabbed a handful of his shirt. He held my legs and carried me home. I sighed softly and rested my head on my hand while I dug my elbow into his back. I have to go to the hospital(rehab) in like a month. My eyes closed when I got use to the rhythm of Edmund's gait. He came to a sudden stop jolting me awake. I grumbled with displeasure and slapped his back. He grunted before he started to laugh. Edmund put me down in front of him, I turned around coming face to face with my mom.

She glared at Edmund,"Jay, where have you been?1 I've been worried sick! Please tell me you didn't have sex with him!"

I growled at her protecting Edmund,"Maybe I did! So what?! I moved out of the house months ago!"

She slapped me across the face,"You do not yell at me! And you do not growl at me!"

Edmund grabbed me and pushed me behind him,"Do not hit Jay. I do not like anyone who hurts her."

Raven Phoenix, my mom, growled at Edmund lunged at him. Edmund's black angel wings unfolded from behind his back and blocked the lung. My eyes widen with surprise. I'm speechless, I mean, I don't even know what to say. His wings are beautiful.. I didn't even know he was an ACTUAL angel. I strectched out my fingers just feel the soft feathers upon my delicate fingers. My mom's eyes widen and she gasped. Edmund kept me behind him just so he could protect me. I crawled up onto his back and wrapped my arms around his neck. He folded his wings tightly behind his back.
