Love Story • Edward Cullen

•03•

My body felt heavy. I was stuck in a state between asleep and awake. I felt myself waking up slowly, but I couldn't move an inch. Part of me wanted to panic, but I knew I had to keep calm. It wouldn't help anyone if I were to freak out.

Distant voices sounded around me. I tried to listen, but everything was too muffled to tell what was going on. Whatever was happening was bad, as I could barely make out people yelling from somewhere in the room. I made myself focus, and I ended up only making out a few words.

"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU WOULD—"

"WELL, IT ISN'T MY—"

"YES, IT IS."

"I HATE THIS FAMILY."

Then a door slammed. I heard someone sigh as everything faded out again.

The next time my senses came back to me, I realized ‌I was more conscious compared to the last time I awoke. My eyes felt heavy as they slowly opened, and I struggled to even try. I immediately closed them again, as I found the sudden light hard on my eyes. My head immediately began throbbing, making me let out a cry of pain.

The next thing I knew, I felt a rush of wind on my right side. A cold hand held mine, and I could tell it was Edward. I slowly opened my eyes again and met his topaz yellow gold amber eyes with mine.

"What happened..?" I said, my voice slightly raspy. Edward slowly stroked my hand as he looked at it. I could tell that he was upset.

He shook his head. "After I badmouthed Rosalie, she threw that tv out the window, which was directed towards me. Her aim was slightly off and it almost hit you. I tried to grab it but ended up underestimating the strength of it and fell directly into you. Vecky, I can't tell you how sorry I am. I almost killed you." Edward says, finally looking at me.

I gave him a small smile ‌to show that I accepted his apology. His eyes swarmed with hurt at the idea of harming me. I brought his hand to my plump lips and kissed it. Edward looked flustered, despite not being able to blush. I chuckled at his reaction and dropped his hand.

"It's okay. I know you were just trying to protect me." I whisper, knowing that he will hear it, no matter how quiet I am.

He smiles at me before backing up a bit. He looks at me, analyzing me.

"How do you feel?" He says, tapping his chin as if he was thinking. Why is he doing that? What the fuck?

He laughs at my thoughts. "You almost just got crushed to death, and that's what you're worried about?" He giggles and slaps his knee. Although he was standing when he did it, so he almost fell over. I burst out laughing, which made my head hurt and made me hold on to my head as I started crying.

"Jelly Belly, what's wrong?!" Edward yelled as he rushed over to me.

"My... head... hurts," I say through sobs. Edward looks at me, worried.

"Don't worry, Vecky. I'll go get Carlisle. He'll know what to do; he's a doctor."

Edward then disappeared in the blink of an eye. I looked at the place he once was until he came back with a man. He had blonde hair and was so HOT JESUS CHRIST OH MY GOD.

Edward looked at me weirdly because of my thoughts and I gasped, remembering he could read minds. My face heated ‌in embarrassment and I looked away from both of them until I could regain myself.

Edward, I'm sorry you guys are all so attractive. I still love you more than your hot dad, I promise. I love you, Eddie Poo.

Edward cracks a small smile and nods to show that he heard my thoughts. He mouths "I love you too" before I finally take my eyes off of him and stare at Carlisle.

"Hello, Vecky! I'm so pleased to finally meet you. I'm sorry that it's under such horrible circumstances." Carlisle, the hot man, says. He sticks his hand out at me. I smile sweetly at him and shake his hand.

"It's nice to meet you, too."

He pulls his hand away and starts examining me. "How do you feel, Vecky?" He says, also tapping his finger on his chin. Maybe that's just a thing this coven does.

"My head hurts and my body is ‌sore," I admitted to the HOT doctor.

Edward frowns at me once again.

Stop reading my thoughts, Eddie Poo. I already told you I love you. I'm annoyed at Edward for being in my head.

"You know I can't help it, Vecky. It's just your thoughts are very loud. I would also like it if you stopped thinking that about him." Edward says, subtly pointing to Carlisle.

Carlisle sees what Edward did, and he has a look of confusion on his face. Edward glances at him and opens his mouth, ready to tell him what I've been thinking.

"NO! DON'T!" I shout as Edward looks at me. Carlisle looks at me in surprise because of my sudden outburst. I am on the verge of tears because of the amount of embarrassment I'm feeling.

Edward, please, I'm going to unfriend you and unlove you and run away and then join the circus if you tell him. I think while looking at him. He gasps in surprise at the things I just thought, and then he closes his mouth and nods. He looks at Carlisle.

"Don't worry about it, Carlisle. Let's just get this over with so Vecky can meet the rest of the family," The two vampires (I'm also a vampire I'm just referring to them) look at each other before the hotty—I mean Carlisle–continue with making sure that I won't die from like a concussion or something. I don't know. I know nothing about being a doctor.

"Well, Vecky, you should be okay. Just take it easy and make sure not to get crushed again!" Carlisle says while rubbing his hands together. Edward gets sad and starts dry-sobbing as he mumbles to himself. I couldn't hear it even though I'm a vampire so that's weird.

Edward stops and slowly turns around, looking at me intensely.

"Vecky... you aren't a vampire..."

I stare at him in shock. My mouth opens and closes as I try to find words to say. What does he mean that I'm not a vampire?

"Vecky... you don't have the traits of a vampire. You sleep, you don't drink blood, you have a beating heart, you don't have supernatural abilities... I'm sorry, Vecky, but you are a human."

I gasp. Oh my god, he's right. I AM a human. Now I feel bad for sucking the blood out of Philadelphia.

"YOU DID WHAT?" Edward screams at me.

"I'M SORRY EDWARD I THOUGHT I WAS A VAMPIRE OKAY?? EVERYONE MAKES MISTAKES SO DON'T START YELLIN' AT ME AND GETTIN' ALL ANGRY." My southern accent kicked in as I hollered. I burst into tears as I tried to continue to defend myself, but I was crying too hard so no one knew what I was saying.

"Vecky, you need to calm down," Carlisle said. I looked at him as snot ran down my face while still trying to defend myself. He looks at my mate, Edward, trying to get him to help.

He places his hand on my cheek. "Vecky Wecky, you need to calm down. It's okay, we all make mistakes." He said, caressing my face. I slowly started calming down as I looked into the eyes of my lover.

"Vecky Wecky?" I said, sniffling. Edward smiles at me with love and adoration.

"That's my second nickname for you." I felt my face heat as I looked away.

Carlisle let out a little chuckle, which made me look at him. "Well, I'm going to go downstairs. Come down when you're ready to meet the family, Vecky." Carlisle said before exiting. I look back at Edward.

"Your family is so sweet, Eddie Poo," I said, holding Earwax's other hand as he still caressed my face. He smiled at me.

"Come on, let's go meet the others."

I blushed at how HOT he is along with his HOT da–with the rest of his family. I nodded at him as we walked hand in hand out of the room. I guess it's time to meet the Cullens.
