Mia: I hate it when people do this, with the characters and all that crap.
Edward: Then why are you doing it?
Mia: Because it's fun. :D
Edward: (Sigh) Mia doesn't own Twilight!

There were people in the world who had power over us, whether we wanted them to or not. Children fell under the control of their parents, of teachers, and of almost anyone in this world with authority. But that isn't what I mean by people having power over us.
I mean the people who are the bright lights in our lives, who can ruin a day by leaving, or make it all better by coming back. I mean the people we dread seeing, and still hate walking away from. The individuals in our lives who make us feel sick and joyous at the drop of a hat.
Edward had that power over me. I'd happily sacrificed power to him, and now he alone created my joy, and my pain.
That's why when he left, I felt as though the universe had suddenly blinked into darkness.
"Promise me you'll be safe." He had whispered into my ear, and with a kiss on the forehead, he was gone. I'd never said yes, not that I'd remembered. But his power over me was still firmly in place, even when he had vanished from my life. My whole body screamed out to wherever he was.
Yes. Yes, a million times yes. Anything he asked, even when there was nothing to live for, there was the memory of him asking and the need to do what he asked.
So in the end, it was as good as if I'd told him yes. I promised to stay safe.
Still short, but hopefully a bit better!
