I wanna be yours

Twilight: 7

~Skylar~
I settle in my room lighting a lavender candle to help me sleep better... but I just couldn't. I laid on my side staring at my curtains, sleep far behind me, the minutes slowly turn into hours of endless tossing and turning but sleep was nonexistent this night.

I look over at my side table at the black digital it read '5:00' ughh I might as well start my day. I roll off the bed taking my robe off the back of my door wrapping it around me since it was a bit cold in the house, I find myself in the kitchen seeing my dad sitting at the table with his head in his hands and two beer cans beside him.

"Oh, good morning dad, what time did u come in last night?" I ask as I start taking out ingredients to make breakfast, eggs, bacon, and pancake mix.

"Uhh around 11, why are you up so early on a Saturday." He sounded sluggish and exhausted, recently that has been a trend with him staying up at ungodly hours trying to solve these mysterious animal attacks.

"Dad u need to be sleeping more, I get it this is an important case, but u is no good if u pass out from exhaustion." I completely ignored his question since that would be hypocritical of me. I continue to prepare breakfast scrambling the eggs, frying the bacon, flipping the pancakes. My actions halt on the last pancake when I hear footsteps coming down the stairs.

"Good morning bells, how did u sleep?" I questioned fixing a serving for all of us and setting the plates down at the table.

"I slept fine." she said taking a seat at the table cutting into the fluffy pancake and taking a small bite. I nod knowing that she wasn't much of a morning person, so I didn't ask any further. I looked over to see that Charlie had already finished half of his breakfast looking ready to pass out at this very table.

The morning dragged on like usual nothing out of the ordinary. I sat over on the couch with snacks close by, so I wasn't having to get up for any means necessary, Charlie comes and sit next to me so being the good daughter I am I share some of my snacks with him.

"So how have you been, we don't talk much anymore." My dad says his voice giving off his concern but also showing how awkward this man really is.

"I mean everything's all good u just work so much now and... I don't know dad we just don't see each other like we used to." I looked over at him I couldn't help but feel worried, he looks beat, you can tell his job is really taking a huge toll on him and it genuinely kills me that he takes all of this stress and keeps it to himself. I sigh thinking to myself this is the path my father has chosen rising his sanity for the safety of others had been something he has been very passionate about since I could remember, I just wish he would take some time for himself once in a while.

He looks at me for a bit longer before he stands and went off to so whatever it is he was going to do; I shrug and continue watching my show, soon the fatigue started to catch up with me so I decided to take a nap walking up to my room and collapsing on my bed.

I wake up hours later to a loud slam, jumping up I get out of my bed only to see a figure in the corner of my room.

" OH SHIT, Edward what the fuck are u doing here." I whisper yelled trying to figure out what the hell was going on as I heard the yelling of my sister.

"I don't have much time to explain but you're in danger and Bella has to leave for a while in order to keep you and your father safe... A tracker has picked up your sister's scent and he isn't going to stop until we kill him. I never meant for this to happen ." he said looking at my floor I'm guessing to avoid eye contact. I took the information in but my head was starting to spin what in the actual fuck did I just get myself into.
