We Belong Together - @night-traveler (a Twilight fanfiction)

04

(Edwards POV)

I just couldn't stand it to be with her in the same room. Everything about her, makes me wanting her, but not like a girlfriend or a wife. No, I want her as a prey, I want to kill her.

I hear Jasper behind me, but it doesn't bother me. I know I need his powers to keep me from killing Kayleigh. I need to stay calm and Jasper is the only one that can help me with it.

"Are you okay Edward?"
I know I have to answer, but I just can't.
"I think so..." I am able to choke out, but I know that's the only thing I am able to say until I'm home again.
"You know you can't kill her because she's your soulmate, don't you?" I nod, not trusting my voice. Jasper is standing in front of me now and he lays his hands on my shoulders.
"We will get through this together Edward, I know you'll be with her without any problem in the future. Alice told me." I know he's right, but it's hard to believe.

The rest of the day I pretend she's not there. I know it's rude, but it's the only thing that stops me from killing her right now. I have to leave as soon as possible to control my thirst, but I don't know if Carlisle will let me. When the last lesson has finally come to an end, I almost run out of the classroom to get to my car.

-back home-
"Carlisle, can I talk to you please?" I'm standing in front of his office.
"Of course, come in." He smiles at me. I take a seat and a deep, unnecessary breath.
"I think I need to go out of town for a couple of days. To control my thirst..."
"Why do you need to leave? You could just stay home, Edward."
"I need to leave because I can't risk seeing her." I close my eyes for a moment and take a deep, unnecessary breath for the second time.
"Seeing who, Edward?" Carlisle looks at me with an not-understanding look.
"My soulmate... Kayleigh Blossom. She just moved her and Alice says she's the one for me, but when I saw her today, I almost lost control..." I sigh, it's weird that I want to kill this girl so badly when I've been around humans for a few decades now, and I've felt nothing like this ever before.
"Well, then I think it's the right thing if you would leave for a week or so." I nod at my father.
"I'll leave tomorrow early in the morning."

That night I'm asking Emmett if he wants to join me on a hunting trip so that I don't need to hunt in Forks tomorrow. The next morning I'm saying my family goodbye and I promise them that I'll be back in one week. Then I leave...

(Kayleighs POV)

When I'm at school, I look at the table where Alice and her family are sitting. I look if I can find him but he's not there. I'm sitting beside Alice while she's playing with my hair, when Madison is standing next to me. I didn't saw her coming, so I'm surprised she's next to me.
"Alice, are you almost done? I think Madison wants to speak to me." I laugh, Alice loves playing with my hair.
"Yes, just give me a few seconds... - Okay, I'm done!"
"Thank you Alice." I smile at her and she smiles a huge smile back at me.
"No problem sis."

-outside-

"What did you want to say to me, Madison?" I look at my almost-sister-in-law with an curious look.
"Well, I just got a call from David and he said he will be out of town this whole week, so we're with the two of us this week." She smiles at me. I chuckle.
"I guess that means you want to go shopping this afternoon and we can have some girl time after school for the rest of this week?"
"Yeah, I think you can say it like that." We both laugh and then we both go inside again.

The rest of the day I'm busy looking for him. Strange, I don't even know him, and still I'm worried about him.
I keep thinking about him all day and when I'm walking next to Alice, I finally find the courage to ask her the question that had bothered me all day long.
"Alice, do you know if Edward's okay? I haven't seen him all day and I'm just worried I guess..." I look at my feet, ashamed of what I just had asked. When I look back at Alice, she smiles at me.
"Yeah, he's fine, he just needed some alone-time. He'll be back next week."
Great, I had to wait a whole week before I would see him again. Then a sudden thought popped in my head.
"He's not mad at me right? I mean, the other day he ignored me the whole time..." Alice chuckles.
"No, he's not mad at you, just like I said, he needed some alone-time." I smile at her, it's nice to know he's alright and not mad at me. At least, for how much I know, maybe he hid it from Alice. But then I remembered how honest they always were. No, he's not mad at me.
