Well, this is just gonna be a series of songfics. I have so many ideas for them, so it would be a drag to make them each a separate story...
Anyways,
I feel like this song was made for Twilight. Seriously. It's perfect, so I couldn't help myself.
"Seventeen Forever" by Metro Station.
Edward makes the decision of changing Bella while she sleeps; (I mean, he had to have known he would have to before Bella did. The boy just wanted to try ;)
I think of all the reasons that Bella and I shouldn't be together. Human, vampire; fragile, destructive; lion, lamb; beautiful girl, sickening monster….
You are young but so am I
This is wrong, but who am I to judge?
You feel like heaven when we touch
I guess for me this is enough
As she stirs in her sleep, I decide that this doesn't matter. I need her, and I am much too selfish to give her up. I will find a way to make it work. I don't care what Alice saw. I would never bring her over to a life of darkness. She deserves more. She is worth so much more than a soulless future. She will have light, she will go to heaven, and she will leave behind a legacy; A legacy of children who will share her wonderful traits and have children of their own, Bella always alive in them. We will make this work.
We're one mistake from being together
But let's not ask why it's not right
You won't be seventeen forever
And we can get away with this tonight
Tonight nothing matters. Tomorrow nothing will matter, and the next day. Eventually, she will start to panic, and I know that. But she won't have anything to worry about. I will take care of her forever. No matter how long that is…
You are young and I am scared
You're wise beyond your years, but I don't care
And I can feel your heartbeat
You know exactly where to take me
Oh, what she does to me. The way she can always find her way out of any situation, the way she tolerates my being, how she thinks that I still have a soul. She can always see through my pretenses, makes me feel alive again. Her heartbeat is mine, and I can't let it die. But either way, I must, eventually.
We're one mistake from being together
But let's not ask why it's not right
You won't be seventeen forever
And we can get away with this tonight
She whispers my name in her sleep and my dead heart leaps. Full of so much love, kindness, acceptance… Bravery. I don't care what happens, I don't care if I do end up changing her into one of my own. I need her now.
Will you remember me
You ask me as I leave
Remember what I said?
Oh how could I, oh how could I forget
I will never forgive myself for hurting her the way I did. Foolish monster. How could I have thought it was better for her, lied through my teeth? I wasn't even fooling myself, and yet, she believed me, and killed a part of herself by not letting go of me. Perhaps I could take her and keep her with me forever. It may be my only option. I can only say no so many times, and with beauty comes tenacity, at least in this case…
We're one mistake from being together
But let's not ask why it's not right
You won't be seventeen forever
And we can get away with this tonight
Selfish.
Please review, and look out for more chapters on their way! (:
