Twilight- My Life as the Dead

My Life as the Dead- Chapter 9

Edward's POV

Sitting here in the sunlight, surrounded by flowers is wonderful. BELLA is wonderful, but I can't tell her that to her face. She only wants to be friends and that's okay, besides, I don't think that I would be able to handle the rejection.

As it grew darker, we decided to head back but this time, when I was about to lift her on my back she stopped me.

"I want to show you how I travel." Bella smiled.

"Okay, but I don't have to climb on your back do I?" I joked.

She laughed, "No, just hold my hands." I did as requested and she became semi-transparent. I knew that she was in her ghost form now. Closing her eyes, a light enveloped her, then it surrounded me and then the meadow had disappeared. We were in a void filled with electrical-sounding noises and colours that I couldn't give names to. As soon as I had processed this fact, we were outside my house.

"What was... that?" It had happened so fast.

"That was teleportation. We travelled inside the parts of a split second. A human wouldn't see what you saw because your brain works much faster. It's complicated, I know, but once humans discover how to time travel, it will be easier to understand."

"Wait... time travel? Isn't that just science fiction?" I questioned. Surely time travel was impossible. It couldn't be done... Could it? "Can we go inside so you can explain it to me better?" I asked. Bella nodded and we went in. (A/N: Bella lives at the Cullen's house now because of what happened to Charlie.)

Bella and I spent maybe half an hour to an hour discussing time travel. I was amazed when she told me that she had used the same principle of teleportation but switched physical distance to temporal distance to travel forward in time. She told me that in another hundred years time travel would be discovered.

When I asked her if she had ever travelled back in time, she looked at the ground and said that memories should stay as memories. Without thinking, I put my arm around her. She looked up at me once I performed the kind gesture.

"Thank you, and I'm sorry for acting like that. I shouldn't have been like that." Bella apologised sincerely.

"No, I'm sorry for asking you that. It won't happen again." There was a silence between us. Simultaneously, we slowly moved in for a kiss...

Only to be interrupted by Emmett who walked into the room, completely oblivious to what was happening, and quite loudly exclaimed "Wow I'm tired! Time to say 'nighty night'. Oh, that's right, I don't sleep!" He was the only one who laughed at his own joke before Alice lunged at him.

"Dammit Emmett! You ruined their first special moment!" Alice screeched.

"Uh, goodnight Edward." Bella said awkwardly before bolting up the stairs and closing her bedroom door. Maybe Emmett wasn't to blame for this- he might have just saved my self- esteem. Maybe Bella was going to back out of the potential kiss at the last moment anyway, then what would I have done?

Oh Bella, If only you weren't so confusing and if only I could read your mind...

Bella's POV

I stood in the shower and let the icy water run down my body while thinking about today. It had been so wonderful, but tonight had been downright awkward. I couldn't tell what he was thinking so my self confidence might have taken a hit if Emmett hadn't interrupted. But that doesn't change the fact that you ran away, a voice whispered in my head. As much as I wanted it to be wrong, I knew it was right. Great, now my subconscious was telling me stuff that I didn't want to hear. I sighed, well maybe tomorrow would be better.

I got out of the shower, dried myself off and went over to my bed. When I turned on the light I saw that there was an outfit there that had a sticky- note attached to it.

'Something for you to wear tomorrow. Get used to me arranging your clothes for you. Love Alice.'

I had a look at the garments. There were a pair of black full- length skinny jeans, a royal blue long sleeve shirt and a light beige knit sweater. Not bad. They were actually my type of clothes.

I hung up the clothes in my closet and disposed of the sticky- note. After changing into my pyjamas I got into bed and sat up awake as I have done for over a century. I wish I could enjoy the comfort of actual sleep. Just once.

Oh Edward, if only I knew what you truly thought about me and if only you could understand what I feel.
