My eyes snapped open to find two emerald eyes staring down at me agitatedly in the darkness. Confused and disoriented, it took me a few seconds to fully realize that I was lying on my bed and it was Edward who was hovering over me, both of his hands on my shoulders, holding me in place.
I blinked up at him in confusion and felt tears glide down my cheeks, mingling with the sweat already there. I roughly wiped them, my eyes still locked on Edward’s.
“Wha…?” I croaked.
