Awakening as usual to the miserable and dull overcast sky I got myself up out of bed, a great grin on my face as today I would be spending with Edward.

I wanted to make myself look my best, y'know, clean. I hopped into the shower, yet had a cold shower thinking it would make me feel warmer today as my body would be used to the cold...

I got out, my hair damp, revealing the red riddling the bottom. I dried it with a towel, making me look like some surfer boy. It was slightly messy and unkempt so farewell knots. I just combed them out and straightened my fringe.

I headed downstairs to find that Charlie didn't have work today. Shit! How was I going to explain Edward turning up?

Wait, I didn't need to, Edward was my friend, and that was all...unfortunately.

"Morning, Esto." Greeted Charlie, sat on the couch watching the news. 'Murders have been occurring lately in the Olympic Peninsula of Washington. We think a gang of serial killers are roaming the area...'

I shrugged off the news story, "Morning." I was wearing some black skinnies and some black and white converse. I had a black, waterproof jacket and a green tee under it.

He turned to see I was dressed and not in my nightgown, "What've you got planned today?"

I knelt by the door frame of the kitchen, seeing the dark overcast and rain pouring outside, "I'm meeting some friends."

"Ah, I knew you'd make friends, Esto."

"Yep."

"Who're your friends?" He seemed to be doing the clichéd worried parent line.

"Erm, Edward Cullen." I looked up to see his reaction.

He just nodded, "Dr. Cullen's boy?"

"Yeah."

He smiled, putting me off the hook, "He must be a good kid if he's Dr. Cullen's."

I bit my lip, wanting the awkward conversation to stop, "Yeah, he is."

Then I heard a knock at the door. I smiled happily to myself as I rushed to the door.

"Have fun."

"Bye, Dad."

I opened the door to see Edward there. He looked porcelain. He looked like an angelic statue. He was wearing a grey, Victorianesque jacket with a white top underneath, showing off his muscles. He wore tight black jeans.

His hair was up in its bouffant and he smiled his crooked smile to me, "Good morning."

I smiled and begun to walk out, closing the door. I put my hood up, "Where're we going today?" I sounded like a kid in a candy store.

"I told you," He said, looking at me and holding the door to his shiny Volvo for me. "For a drive."

I winced slightly, and then blinked five times quickly as he got in the car at astonishing speed.

I digged his arm weakly as a joke, "But where?"

"You'll see." Then he gave me his dazzling smile, showing his pearly whites through narrowed eyes. I still had my hood up and he pulled it down, "Don't hide your face."

I hmmed, "Why, I like hiding my face. I mean I'm a mess." I laughed and saw his face.

He looked serious, "Really?"

"Erm..." He started the car then and sped off at insane speed. "Fuck, Edward! Slow down!"

He laughed and ruffled me hair, sending icy shockwaves down my body, "I'm a good driver."

"We'll see! If we crash and I die you're paying for the funeral!"

He growled at my cynical joke, "What's up?"

"I can't imagine you dying!" He clenched onto the steering wheel firmly.

"Why? We've known each other for what, two days?" I laughed awkwardly.

"I don't care, Esto. I'll protect you no matter what!" He really sounded frustrated. His mouth was curved into a frown.

"Thanks..." I said this in an 'I guess' sort of tone.

We sped down a forest lane until we got out. He held the door open for me as per and actual held me out. As he held my hand I swore I saw him smiling. I thanked him and put my hands in my pockets.

"So, where are we going, Edward?" I followed him into the trees.

"I'm taking you to my special place."

"Your special place?" I lifted one of my eyebrows up in confusion.

"Yes, now come!" He grasped my hand softly and led my through the trees.

I laughed as he did too.

We reached a harmonic spot. It was on the shoreline. The trees were just behind us as me and Edward stood on the side of a towering cliff, looking down at the crashing ocean. Edward motioned for me to sit on the side of the cliff edge so our feet dangled down.

"No! It's way too scary!" I said, repulsed.

He was doing it too, "Esto, I won't let anything happen to you!" His voice was sincere.

"Okay..." I sat down next to him as we gazed out to see, the icy wind hitting our faces. Our hair danced in the wind as our eyes danced at the view.

Suddenly Edward's handed grazed over mine which knelt on my leg. He took it into his so they were both rested between us. The ice of his touch sent shivers down my spine in beauty.

"Do you mind?" He looked at me, with one of the most handsome smiles I've ever seen open out across his face.

I stuttered, "No, it's fine."

He smiled at that and gazed out with me at the sea.

After about three hours of us just talking and looking out to sea I saw about 4 tanned teenage boys having fun (not in that way!) on the beach. I noticed they all had long, black hair.

I looked at them, and Edward stared, rather fiercely at them. I noticed the way down to the beach was just be a short path from the cliff and decided to go check them out as I'm sure one of them was Jacob.

I went to get up when Edward stopped me with his body, "Where're you going, Esto?"

"To go see if one of them is Jacob, my friend." I laughed and tried to get past.

"I'm not sure if that's a good idea." He sounded pained and looked back at them to see the one I thought Jacob looking at us two, mainly me whilst the others splashed about in the water. Gosh how could they do that? The water was freezing.

I pushed past him, "I know him, Edward. Come!" I called over my shoulder as I walked down.

"I'll wait for you here." He replied, sounding hurt and angry.

I reached the bottom of the hill, Jacob stood there.

He was wearing a black tee with some black jeans and brown boots. "Esto! What're you doing around here?" He sounded pleased to see me as a big smile was on his face.

"I'm with my friend, Edward. And I came to have another match with you at wrestling." I joked.

"Edward? Who's he?" He sounded serious. A boy with long black hair and tanned skin like Jacob ran up to us then.

"He's my friend," I looked back at him to he was looking down, seemingly furious. "We're really close now it seems."

"Jacob, we're going back, see you at Billy's." Said the other boy who ran off then with the rest.

He ignored him and gazed at me, then back at Edward. "Oh...When you next down at La Push?"

I was in La Push? "Erm, I don't know. Oh no I do know, I'm down next Friday with some friends from school. We're going on like a beach trip." I chuckled.

His face shot up like lightning, a superb smile caressing his face, "Good! Anyway, I gotta go sadly, I'll see ya' around." He gave me a warm hug, and literally he was warm. I tried to get out but he dug his face into my shoulder. I turned to see Edward was in a fighting stance, a defensive one.

"Yeah, erm Jake you can release me now." I laughed awkwardly.

"Sorry." He ran off then.

I trotted back up the hill to find it started to rain.

Edward looked enraged as he stared after Jake and his friends. What was his problem?

As soon as I got to a certain distance to him he ran up to me, taking my hand. "Onesto Mozart Swan, do you know how dangerous that was?" His touch was gentle, and he was right up in my face though. He was millimetres from me.

"They won't hurt me!"

He sighed and pulled me into an embrace, not something I was expecting.

His cold touch against my warm body was relieving to us both. He breathed into my neck, his body touching mine. I didn't want to end, although I was hugging him back.

"I just want you to be safe, Esto." He confirmed, releasing me. He led me by the hand again through the trees and to the car. I noticed it was getting late.

"Jacob's a childhood friend, he will never hurt me!" He squeezed his arm slightly, causing him to smirk.

"Yes but the wolves have n~" He stopped talking abruptly then.

I shrugged it off as he tucked me into his car, he got in and sped off back to Forks.
