NEW MOON - chapter 1 - PARTY
"Anyway, anda don't irritate the Volturi," Edward went on, interrupting my reverie. "Not unless anda want to die - atau whatever it is we do." His voice was so calm, it amde him sound almost bored oleh the prospect.
My anger turned to horror. I took his marble face between my hands and held it very tightly.
"You must never, never, never think of anything like that again!" I said. "No matter what might ever happen to me, anda are not allowed to hurt yourself!"
"I'll neve rput anda in danger again, so it's a moot point."
"Put me in danger! I thought we'd established that all the bad luck is my fault?" I was getting angrier. "How dare anda even think like that?" The idea of Edward ceasing to exist, even if I were dead, was impossibly painful.
"What would anda do, if the situation were reversed?" he asked.
"That's not the same thing."
He didn't seem to understand the difference. He chuckled.
"What if something did happen to you?" I blanched at the thought. "Would anda want me to go off myself?"
A trace of pain touched his perfect features.
"I guess I see your point... a little," he admitted. "But what would I do without you?"
"Whatever anda were doing before I came along and complicated your existence."
He sighed. "You make that sound so easy."
"It should be. I'm not really that interesting."
He was about to argue, but then he let it go. "Moot point," he reminded me. Abruptly, he pulled himself up into a lebih formal posture, shifting me to the side so that we were no longer touching.
"Charlie?" I guessed.
Edward smiled. After a moment, I heard the sound of the police kapal penjelajah pulling into the driveway. I reached out and took his hand firmly. My dad could deal with that much.
Charlie came in with a pizza box in his hands.
"Hey, kids." He grinned at me. "I thought you'd like a break from cooking and washing dishes for your birthday. Hungry?"
"Sure. Thanks, Dad."
Charlie didn't komentar on Edward's apparent lack of appetite. He was used to Edward passing on dinner.
"Do anda mind if I borrow Bella for the evening?" Edward asked when Charlie and I were done.
I looked at Charlie hopefully. Maybe he had some concept of birthdays pantat, keledai stay-at-home, family affairs - this was my first birthday with him, the first birthday since my mom, Renee, had remarried and gone to live in Florida, so I didn't know what he would expect.
"That's fine - the Mariners are playing the Sox tonight," Charlie explained, and my hope disappeared. "So I won't be any kind of company.... Here." He scooped up the camera he'd gotten me on Renee's suggestion (because I would need pictures to fill up my scrapbook), and threw it to me.
He ought to know better than that - I'd always been coorinationally challenged. The camera glanced off the puncak, atas of my finger, and tumbled toward the floor. Edward snagged it before it could crash onto the linoleum.
"Nice save," Charlie noted. "If they're doing something fun at the Cullens' tonight, Bella, anda should take some pictures. anda know how your mother gets - she'll be wanting to see the pictures faster than anda can take them."
"Good idea, Charlie," Edward said, handing me the camera.
I turned the camera on Edward, and snapped the first picture. "It works."
"That's good. Hey, say hi to Alice for me. She hasn't been over in a while." Charlie's mouth pulled down at one corner.
"It's been three days, Dad," I reminded him. Charlie was crazy about Alice. He'd become attached last apring when she'd helped me through my awkward convalescence; Charlie would be forever grateful to her for daving him from the horror of an almost-adult daughter who needed help showering. "I'll tell her."
"Okay. anda kids have fun tonight." It was clearly a dismissal. Charlie was already edging toward the living room and the TV.
Edward smiled, triumphantly, and took my hand to pull me frmo the kitchen.
When we got to the truck, he opened the passenger door for me again, and this time I didn't argue. I still had a hard time finding the obscure turnoff to his house in the dark.

Sorry its so short! komentar and rate PLEASE!!!
I felt bad for leaving without one word to Nathen, but I knew I couldn't leave without one word so I said;
Look, I'm sorry I made anda mad, but... I couldn't even finish my sentence.
No, I shouldn't have gotten so mad it was stupid of me anyways to know if anda cared where I lived. Nathen said.
Its ok. I berkata with a yawn.
I think someone needs to go to bed. Nathen berkata with his oh so perfect grin that I loved.
Nathen carried me up to my room, like he usually did. I fell asleep against his warm chest. It was great to know that me and Nathen had made up. I didn't like to be mad at anyone. It is hard sometimes for me to forgive people but its usually not that long till I do forgive them.
I told Nathen goodnight and that I loved him and he berkata the same back to me.
