TOGETHER FOREVER

TOGETHER FOREVER
Well my name is Maria Cantellucci, I am 18 years old, and I still live with my mom; but not for the reason you would think. My mother has abandonment issues and if I leave she could try to commit suicide. I choose to live with her because she’s always been my best friend. Just a month ago we moved to Forks, Washington. This is after the whole Twilight thing came out; we only moved out here because my mother is obsessed with Twilight. I didn’t particularly want to move, but I have to stay with my mom.

Well anyways back to the story, we moved to Forks and my mom immediately wanted to go look around, so we set off to the different stores. We were walking through different stores when she heard my stomach growl, we pretty much anyone in the store heard it, she decided it was time to eat so we went to a diner, Sully’s. Mom got the “Bella Burger” (ugh) and I just got a medium pizza to myself, I’ve always been a good eater but I’m not, like, you know, big. But while we were getting our food I saw him, I swear I saw him! Edward Cullen was standing there! I mean I’m not like one of those stupid twilight freaks that are all in love with him but I’m sure my friends and mom would want me to take a picture of him. I told my mother I had to use the restroom, but I just wanted to see him. I walked up to him and asked him for a picture, I was standing next to him and he put his hand around me, and he said “Let’s make the picture better.” He turned to me and he grabbed my face and pulled my lips towards him, his kiss felt warm and weirdly good. Right then my mother walked around to me and pulled me away from him, “honey we need to go, the foods at the table.” I was in a sort of daze when we walked back to the table, but from what I can tell, everyone was staring at me weirdly.  Once we were done eating, we started to walk away from the diner and when I looked behind me, Edward was behind me and he whispered, “I’ll see you in your room, later” when he said that chills just raced down my spine.

When we got home I just told my mother I was going to go to sleep so she should too. When I got up to my room, he was already waiting. We just lay up on my bed and talked, once my mom almost caught us because she said she heard me talking to someone, but he’s a vampire, so he left pretty fast. After, she left he came back and I soon heard my mom snoring. I started to pull Edward towards me, but he pushed me away. “Maria I’m sorry, but I can’t do this, I’m a vampire and you aren’t. The other vampires would get mad at me.” He said and with every word my heart dropped lower. He didn’t want me anymore, he didn’t want me and I love him, all I’ve ever known was him. “No, no you can’t stop seeing me, because if you do I’ll…. Um I’ll, I’ll turn you in, I’ll tell them you’re a vampire!” I said and with that I started yelling my mother’s name. When she ran in I told her all about him, and she just kept looking at me like she was disappointed. “Honey I thought moving here would put your problem to rest, but I guess it won’t.” she told me, “Mom what are you talking about I’m telling the truth” “Honey no your not I’m sorry, but Edward isn’t real!” she said to me but she looked more sad then anything. “No, I don’t believe you, he is real, and otherwise why did you make us move here?” “Honey I didn’t want us to move here, you did, you threw a fit until I said we could, you said you had to be with Edward, then you promised this would make the sickness go away.” She told me this but I stopped listening, she was just lying to me, and she wouldn’t listen to me, Edward was real. I just want her to believe me. I looked over and saw that there was a pair of scissors sitting on the dresser, I grabbed them. “No mom, Edward loves me, see or else he wouldn’t let me do this.” I said, and I stabbed myself in the stomach, he wouldn’t just let me die. I sat there and my breath slowed, my mom rushed over to the phone to call the ambulance. Right after that I blanked out, how could Edward do this?

I started to gain consciousness, and I heard the doctor and my mother talking. “No this has been going on since the Twilight saga came out, ever since she watched those movies.” This is how it gets, she’ll see him, and then think that they are in love; he always ends up telling her he’s going to leave, then she gets upset. The first time she acted out the scene from the second one. It always ends in her hurting herself in some way to prove he’s there and he’ll save her.” No, this can’t be true, it’s not true; I wake up and I look down at my body. I see all the scars, and I slowly start to remember, all the times he hurt me and all the times he left me. I start to scream and they can’t stop me, they give me a sedative and put me in a strait jacket they say that it’s for my own good, so that I don’t hurt myself. My mother tells me they won’t let me leave until the delusion is gone, but too bad they don’t know. Edward can never leave me forever; he starts to miss me and comes back. He tells me that we will be together forever, and I believe it, because we were meant for each other.
