CocTease: Edward
“Hey Cullen.”
I looked up from my journal and my plate of food. Peter, the new guy, sat down next to me and rested his head in his hands.
“They got you running the night shift?” I asked, taking another bite.
“Fourth time this week. And I’m supposed to go out tonight again,” he mumbled.
I looked him over, seeing his haggard expression and the dark circles under his eyes. He was beyond tired, I almost wondered if he should be going out at all. I never thought it was very smart that they sent people out who were this run down. It didn’t seem like it would be safe. If it wasn’t safe to drive when you’re sleepy, then it probably isn’t okay to be responsible for a weapon or someone else’s life.
“Who are you heading out with?” I asked.
“Uh…I think Smith, Carlson and Bates.” He rubbed his eyes and shook his head, trying to wake himself up.
I took another bite of my food and watched him. His eyes fluttered a little, fighting to stay awake, before they floated shut. I felt bad for the guy, I couldn’t deny that. I’d gotten lucky and had mostly day shifts; I knew the night shifts were brutal.
“I’ll take it Peter,” I slapped his back.
“What?” He mumbled.
“I’ll take your shift. You need a good nights sleep.”
“No man, I don’t want to put that on you…”
“Don’t even worry about it. I’m sure you’d do the same for me. It’s done. I’ll go talk to the Captain.”
He started to protest again but I laughed and shook my head. “Go to bed Peter.”

Listen to Coc Playlist Chapters 39-41ish
Please read this before hunting me down and yelling at me:
I know that some songs on this playlist hint that a certain *incident* has occurred. All I'm going to say is that appearances can be deceiving and remember that I promised you a HEA. It's going to be a rough last jog, but we're going to make it through. That is all. If you would like to express your discontent or speculation, remember there's a thread for that : )

Wonderful. Amazing. Fantastic. (Insert synonym here)
Check out this AWESOME blinkie from RoseArcadia. I was absolutely floored when she offered to do one for CoC and thought it turned out absolutely perfect!
And if that wasn't enough, Rose also created a Twilighted Thread for CoC, so if you guys want to talk to each other about CoC happenings that's the place to be! I'll also stop by from time to time and check in on it. There are also codes for the blinkie on the thread, so if you want them for your blog or for anything else they are there. You do have to create a Twilighted account to participate in it, but its super easy and its free.
Check out the Twilighted Thread here
And please also check out Rose's blog, she makes some great banners, blinkies ect. and has some good recommendations on there!
CocTease Chapter 38: Bella
“Good morning girls.” Edward walked in my room carrying a large tray of food. “Breakfast for the graduates.” He set the tray down on the bed and came over to give me a kiss.
“Hey baby,” he whispered, gently pressing his lips to mine.
“Hi,” I smiled.
“I’ll leave you two alone. Your dad wants to leave in like an hour.”
“Okay. Thanks for breakfast.”
He nodded and closed the door behind him.
“B…I have a confession.” Alice nibbled on a waffle. “I haven’t written my speech yet.”
“Alice!” I started choking on my bacon. “You have to talk in a couple of hours and you don’t even know what you’re going to say!?”
She shrugged. “I don’t know. Everytime I sat down to write it I clammed up. I think that I really thought if I didn’t write it then it wouldn’t happen. Like we could skip all this stuff and just stay here forever. Like this.” She laughed at herself as a tear slid down her cheek. “I’m just really going to miss you next year, I feel like I’m losing you. Are you sure you won’t come with me to L.A.?”
I took her hands and shook my head. “I can’t,” I sighed. “ Al, change is inevitable. Sometimes its good and sometimes its bad but its always constant. No matter what you do to stop it the sun’s going to rise in the morning and set in the evening. We can’t change it, we can react to it.” I bit down on my lip and smiled. “Life’s all a big reaction. You can let things happen to you and drown….or you can fight like hell to keep afloat. Whether or not you make it or not is completely up to you.” I thought back to Edward and how relevant those words really were. “Sometimes you have to learn to just…breathe.”
“Hey baby,” he whispered, gently pressing his lips to mine.
“Hi,” I smiled.
“I’ll leave you two alone. Your dad wants to leave in like an hour.”
“Okay. Thanks for breakfast.”
