NEW MOON - chapter 2 - STITCHES
“How does your arm feel?”
“Just fine.” Actually, it was starting to blaze under the bandage. I wanted ice. I would have settled for his hand, but that would have telah diberi me away.
“I’ll get anda some Tylenol.”
“I don’t need anything,” I protested, but he slid me off his lap and headed for the door.
“Charlie,” I hissed. Charlie wasn’t exactly aware that Edward stayed over. In fact, he would have a stroke if the fact were brought to his attention. But I didn’t feel too guilty for deceiving him. It wasn’t as if we were up to anything he wouldn’t want me to be up to. Edward and his rules…
“He won’t catch me,” Edward promised as he disappeared silently out the door… and returned, catching the door before it had swung back to touch the frame. He had the glass from the bathroom and the bottle of pills in one hand.
I took the pills he handed me without arguing - I knew I would lose the argument. And my arm really was starting to bother me.
My lullaby continued, soft and lovely, and the background.
“It’s late, Edward noted. He scooped me up off the katil with one arm, and pulled the cover back with the other. He put me down with my head on my bantal and tucked the quilt around me. He lay down seterusnya to me - on bahagian, atas of the blanket so I wouldn’t get chilled - and put his arm over me.
I leaned my head against his shoulder and sighed happily.
“Thanks again,” I whispered.
“You’re welcome.”
It was quiet for a long moment as I listened to my lullaby drift to a close. Another song began, I recognized Esme’s favorite.
“What are anda thinking about?” I wondered in a whisper.
He hesitated for a saat before he told me. “I was thinking about right and wrong, actually.”
I felt a chill tingle along my spine.
“Remember how I decided that I wanted anda to not ignore my birthday?” I asked quickly, hoping it wasn’t too clear that I was trying to distract him.
“Yes,” he agreed, wary.
“Well, I was thinking, since it’s still my birthday, that I’d like anda to Ciuman me again.”
“You’re greedy tonight.”
“Yes I am - but please, don’t do anything anda don’t want to do,” I added, piqued.
He laughed, and then sighed. “Heaven forbid that I should do anything I don’t want to do,” he berkata ni a strangely desperate tone as he put his hand under my chin and pulled my face up to his.
The Ciuman began much the same as usual - Edward was as careful as ever, and my hati, tengah-tengah began to overreact like it always did. And then something seemed to change. Suddenly his lips became much lebih urgent, his free hand twisted into my hair and held my face securely to his. And, though my hands Tangled in his hair, too, and though I was clearly beginning to menyeberang, cross his cautious lines, for once he didn’t stop me. His body was cold through the thin quilt, but I crushed myself against him eagerly.
When he stopped it was abrupt; he pushed me away with gentle, firm hands.
I collapsed back onto my pillow, gasping, my head spinning. Something tugged at my memory, elusive, on the edges.
“Sorry,” he said, and he was breathless, too. “That was out of line.”
I don’t mind,” I panted.
He frowned at me in the darkness. “Try to sleep, Bella.”
“No, I want anda to Ciuman me again.”
“You’re overestimating my self-control.”
“Which is tempting anda more, my blood atau my body?” I challenged.
“It’s a tie. “He grinned briefly in spite of himself, and then was serious again. “Now, why don’t anda stop pushing your lock and go to sleep?”
“Fine,” I agreed, snuggling closer to him. I really did feel exhausted. It had been a long hari in so many ways, yet I felt so sense of relief at its end. Almost as if something worse was coming tomorrow. It was a silly premonition - what could be worse than today? Just the shock catching up with me, no doubt.
Trying to be sneaky about it, I pressed my injured arm against his shoulder, so his cool skin would sooth the burning. It felt better at once.
I was halfway asleep, maybe more, when I realized what his Ciuman had reminded me of: last spring, when he’d had to leave me to throw James off my trail, Edward had kissed me goodbye, not knowing when - atau if - we would see each other again. This Ciuman had the same almost painful edge for some reason I couldn’t imagine. I shuddered into unconsciousness, as if I were already having a nightmare.

The moon is always full for us
The road is always clear
That's not what anda want to hear
One is born so one can die
anda must wait a real long time
That's lebih than anda can bear
And the days will come and go
And the band will march alone
Till the hari anda cast a shadow
And it's nothing like your own
Rolling in on a burning tire
You're gonna set my house on fire
Just to tunjuk me that anda were there
Bunga raised up like a snake
anda will raise to leave me bait
And always, always take
And the days will come and go
And the band will march alone
Till the hari anda cast a shadow
And it's nothing like your own
The moon is always full for us
The road is always clear
That’s not what anda want to hear
That’s not what anda want to hear
The road is always clear
That's not what anda want to hear
One is born so one can die
anda must wait a real long time
That's lebih than anda can bear
And the days will come and go
And the band will march alone
Till the hari anda cast a shadow
And it's nothing like your own
Rolling in on a burning tire
You're gonna set my house on fire
Just to tunjuk me that anda were there
Bunga raised up like a snake
anda will raise to leave me bait
And always, always take
And the days will come and go
And the band will march alone
Till the hari anda cast a shadow
And it's nothing like your own
The moon is always full for us
The road is always clear
That’s not what anda want to hear
That’s not what anda want to hear
It's all hats off now, all drum rolls and applause
sejak slight of the hand anda will turn them into dust
A face to face anda will lead them sejak the fall
A track fiend and the saw dust
You're allowed to stare it out
It’s all good luck charms
All trying to understand
Indeed inside me will always hope for worse
anda say anda keep them close by
They're closer than anda think
A track fiend and the saw dust
You're allowed to stare it out
seterusnya spring will bring anda back again
You'll sigh and crack the whip for us
And maybe anda will be the one
Who'll draw the line in the sand
For us to crawl
It's all past bats now
All painting gorgeous time
And maybe when the night comes
You'll open up the cage
You'll open up the cage
sejak slight of the hand anda will turn them into dust
A face to face anda will lead them sejak the fall
A track fiend and the saw dust
You're allowed to stare it out
It’s all good luck charms
All trying to understand
Indeed inside me will always hope for worse
anda say anda keep them close by
They're closer than anda think
A track fiend and the saw dust
You're allowed to stare it out
seterusnya spring will bring anda back again
You'll sigh and crack the whip for us
And maybe anda will be the one
Who'll draw the line in the sand
For us to crawl
It's all past bats now
All painting gorgeous time
And maybe when the night comes
You'll open up the cage
You'll open up the cage
I think I know what’s on your mind
A couple words, a great divide
Waiting in the wings, a small respite
Crowding up the foreground from behind
Even though you’re the only one I see
It’s the last catastrophe
Place your bets on chance and apathy
Take anything anda want, it’s fine
Keep up the slow life for the night
Don’t take it back, I’ll just deny
This constant noise all the time
Even though you’re the only one I see
It’s the last catastrophe
Place your bets on chance and apathy
From the wind in front of me
Even though you’re the only one I see
It’s the last catastrophe
Place your bets on chance and apathy
From the wind in front of me
Even though you’re the only one I see
A couple words, a great divide
Waiting in the wings, a small respite
Crowding up the foreground from behind
Even though you’re the only one I see
It’s the last catastrophe
Place your bets on chance and apathy
Take anything anda want, it’s fine
Keep up the slow life for the night
Don’t take it back, I’ll just deny
This constant noise all the time
Even though you’re the only one I see
It’s the last catastrophe
Place your bets on chance and apathy
From the wind in front of me
Even though you’re the only one I see
It’s the last catastrophe
Place your bets on chance and apathy
From the wind in front of me
Even though you’re the only one I see
Situations are critical
anda got to look first before anda go
If anda wasn’t too sure then now anda know
The situations are critical
Wait, ok, you’ve got to look before anda go
Wait, ok, you’ve got to look before anda go
Deep into the darkness where I hide
The monsters are buried down deep inside
anda never know when they’re satisfied
Buried down deep where the sun don’t shine
The monsters are buried down deep inside but
Wait, ok, you’ve got to look before anda go
You’re wasting away, ok, you’ve got to look before anda go
Deep into the darkness where I hide
Deep into the darkness where I hide
Wait, ok, you’ve got to look before anda go
Oh wait, ok, you’ve got to look before anda go
You’re wasting away, ok, you’ve got to look before anda go

If anda wasn’t too sure then now anda know

Should never think
What’s in your heart
What’s in our home
And so I won’t
And you’ll learn to hate me
Still call me baby
Oh, love
So call me sejak my name
And save your soul
Save your soul
Before you’re too far gone
Before nothing can be done
Try to decide when
She’ll lie in the end
Ain’t got no fight in me
In this whole damn world
Tell anda to hold off
Choose to hold on
It’s one thing that I’ve known
Once I put my kot on
Coming out in this all wrong, ooh
She’s standing outside holding me
Saying oh please
I’m in love
I’m in love
Girl save your soul, ooh
Save your soul
Before you’re too far gone
And before nothing can be done
‘Cause without me
anda got it all
So hold on
Without me anda got it all
Hold on
Without me anda got it all
Without me anda got it all
So hold on
Without me anda got it all
So hold on
Without me anda got it all
So hold on
What’s in your heart
What’s in our home
And so I won’t
And you’ll learn to hate me
Still call me baby
Oh, love
So call me sejak my name
And save your soul
Save your soul
Before you’re too far gone
Before nothing can be done
Try to decide when
