BELLA'S POV
"It's getting late," I tell Jake, "If we don't leave soon, we'll miss the movie."
Jake climbs out from under his latest project; a rusty looking BMW that may or may not be older than his dad, "Alright," he says, "I'll go get the keys."
I follow him halfway to his house before he stops suddenly, "I forgot to turn the radio off in the garage," he says, "Can you turn it off while I look for the keys?"
"Yeah, sure," I say, turning back briskly, Jessica will be angry if we don't make it in time.
I jog over to the ancient radio sitting on Jake's work bench. I reach out to turn it off, but I stop when I hear the lyrics.
"Sparkling angel I believe
You were my savior in my time of need."
I freeze at the lyrics. Sparkling angles? The gaping hole that's been slowly filling as I've hung out with Jake rips around the edges a little, and I gasp in pain.
"Blinded by faith I couldn't hear
All the whispers, the warnings so clear."
It's ture, I think, as the tears brim in my eyes. I should've know. Should've realized he could never love me. I was so blind with love.
"I see the angels,
I'll lead them to your door.
There's no escape now,
No mercy no more.
No remorse cause I still remember"
No mercy, The tears spill over and trickle down my cheeks. Why? Why not?
"The smile when you tore me apart.
You took my heart,
Deceived me right from the start.
You showed me dreams,
I wished they'd turn into real."
I feel frozen as the words sink in, but it doesn't stop there. The woman on the radio continues singing.
"You broke a promise and made me realize.
It was all just a lie."
Sobs rack through my body, but I barely notice. That's exactly how it happened. So many dreams. Such happieness. All lies! And now I'm here. So alone. So alone without my sparkling angel.
"Sparkling angel, I couldn't see
Your dark intentions, your feelings for me.
Fallen angel, tell me why?
What is the reason, the thorn in your eye?"
Yes! Why?! Why did he do this to me? How could my angel hurt me so? What did I do? What did I do wrong.
"I see the angels,
I'll lead them to your door
There's no escape now
No mercy no more
No remorse cause I still remember"
But there IS remorse, I think, as I wrap my arms tightly around my chest, desperate not to fall apart, There's so much sadness and pain it's not even funny.
"The smile when you tore me apart
You took my heart,
Deceived me right from the start.
You showed me dreams,
I wished they'd turn into real.
You broke a promise and made me realize.
It was all just a lie."
All a lie, the words echo miserably in my mind, It was all just a lie.
"Could have been forever.
Now we have reached the end."
The end. The end of hope. The end of love. The end of happieness.
"This world may have failed you,
It doesn't give you reason why.
You could have chosen a different path in life."
He could've chosen me, but he didn't, I feel like hitting myself in the head, Of course he didn't. Why would he ever want me? I'm such a plain-jane while he was. . . .
"The smile when you tore me apart.
You took my heart,
Deceived me right from the start.
You showed me dreams,
I wished they'd turn into real.
You broke a promise and made me realize.
It was all just a lie.
Could have been forever.
Now we have reached the end."
Third Person POV
"And that was 'Angel' by Within Temptation," the radio says.
But Bella pays no attention. Even when her Jacob, her sun in the darkness comes for her she doesn't react.
She just rocks back and forth. She can't stop. She can't think. She can't pat attention to her surroundings.
She just sits there sobbing, the same words running through her mind again and again:
The end. Why? Oh, my sparkling angel, why!
Hmm. . . .well, that was my first attempt at a song-fic. I tried. Hopefully future ones will be better.
