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 дана me away.
“I’ll get Ты 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 постель, кровати with one arm, and pulled the cover back with the other. He put me down with my head on my подушка and tucked the quilt around me. He lay down Далее to me - on вверх 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 Ты thinking about?” I wondered in a whisper.
He hesitated for a секунда 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 Ты 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 Ты to Kiss me again.”
“You’re greedy tonight.”
“Yes I am - but please, don’t do anything Ты 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 сказал(-а) ni a strangely desperate tone as he put his hand under my chin and pulled my face up to his.
The Kiss began much the same as usual - Edward was as careful as ever, and my сердце began to overreact like it always did. And then something seemed to change. Suddenly his lips became much еще urgent, his free hand twisted into my hair and held my face securely to his. And, though my hands Рапунцель - Запутанная история in his hair, too, and though I was clearly beginning to пересекать, крест 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 Ты to Kiss me again.”
“You’re overestimating my self-control.”
“Which is tempting Ты more, my blood или my body?” I challenged.
“It’s a tie. “He grinned briefly in spite of himself, and then was serious again. “Now, why don’t Ты 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 день 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 Kiss 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 - или if - we would see each other again. This Kiss 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 Ты want to hear
One is born so one can die
Ты must wait a real long time
That's еще than Ты can bear
And the days will come and go
And the band will march alone
Till the день Ты 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 Показать me that Ты were there
Цветы raised up like a snake
Ты 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 день Ты 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 Ты want to hear
That’s not what Ты want to hear
The road is always clear
That's not what Ты want to hear
One is born so one can die
Ты must wait a real long time
That's еще than Ты can bear
And the days will come and go
And the band will march alone
Till the день Ты 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 Показать me that Ты were there
Цветы raised up like a snake
Ты 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 день Ты 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 Ты want to hear
That’s not what Ты want to hear
It's all hats off now, all drum rolls and applause
By slight of the hand Ты will turn them into dust
A face to face Ты will lead them by 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
Ты say Ты keep them close by
They're closer than Ты think
A track fiend and the saw dust
You're allowed to stare it out
Далее spring will bring Ты back again
You'll sigh and crack the whip for us
And maybe Ты 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
By slight of the hand Ты will turn them into dust
A face to face Ты will lead them by 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
Ты say Ты keep them close by
They're closer than Ты think
A track fiend and the saw dust
You're allowed to stare it out
Далее spring will bring Ты back again
You'll sigh and crack the whip for us
And maybe Ты 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 Ты 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 Ты 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
Ты got to look first before Ты go
If Ты wasn’t too sure then now Ты know
The situations are critical
Wait, ok, you’ve got to look before Ты go
Wait, ok, you’ve got to look before Ты go
Deep into the darkness where I hide
The monsters are buried down deep inside
Ты 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 Ты go
You’re wasting away, ok, you’ve got to look before Ты go
Deep into the darkness where I hide
Deep into the darkness where I hide
Wait, ok, you’ve got to look before Ты go
Oh wait, ok, you’ve got to look before Ты go
You’re wasting away, ok, you’ve got to look before Ты go
Deep into the darkness where I hide
Deep into the darkness where I hide
Deep into the darkness
Ты got to look first before Ты go
If Ты wasn’t too sure then now Ты know
The situations are critical
Wait, ok, you’ve got to look before Ты go
Wait, ok, you’ve got to look before Ты go
Deep into the darkness where I hide
The monsters are buried down deep inside
Ты 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 Ты go
You’re wasting away, ok, you’ve got to look before Ты go
Deep into the darkness where I hide
Deep into the darkness where I hide
Wait, ok, you’ve got to look before Ты go
Oh wait, ok, you’ve got to look before Ты go
You’re wasting away, ok, you’ve got to look before Ты go
Deep into the darkness where I hide
Deep into the darkness where I hide
Deep into the darkness
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 by 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 Ты to hold off
Choose to hold on
It’s one thing that I’ve known
Once I put my пальто 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
Ты got it all
So hold on
Without me Ты got it all
Hold on
Without me Ты got it all
Without me Ты got it all
So hold on
Without me Ты got it all
So hold on
Without me Ты 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 by 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 Ты to hold off
Choose to hold on

Flay Ты alive
One еще word and Ты won’t survive
And I’m not scared of your stolen power
See right through Ты any hour
I won’t soothe your pain
I won’t ease your strain
You’ll be waiting in vain
I got nothing for Ты to gain
I’m taking it slow
Feeding my flame
Shuffling the cards of your game
And just in time
In the right place
Suddenly I will play my ace
I won’t soothe your pain

Your spine is ablaze
Felling any foe with my gaze
And just in time
In the right place
Steadily emerging with grace

Steadily emerging with grace
