Bella stands before the mirror and starts to sing, the melody drifting through the steam coming from the running water.
"She stands before the mirror and looks into the glass;
The makeup that she wears hides the secret of the past.
She used to know the difference between truth and lies,
Tears stream from her eyes as she silently cries.
Won't be long now till her life is capsized;
She is just waiting now waiting till she dies.
She went to the doctor was told her fate,
Then she sat down and felt her life deflate.
She wrote a letter explaining why she must take off now take off and fly.
The difference between them was put to bed;
Now she can't keep it locked in her head.
She told somebody they passed it along
Then she found the courage to sing her song.
She felt her life was going all wrong
So many people telling her she has to be strong.
She's been holding on now for just so long.
People praying for her she sees them cry
Because her fate is sealed she's going to die.
So she rests her head now, rests her head to lye
She feels it is finally time now to say goodbye."
She continues to sing quietly as she fills the bath with water. Is what I plan to do a sin? She thinks to herself. She feels as though her options have gone and that she needs to go on. The white drops clash against her dark skin. She still has a chance. Stop Bella! She thinks. A wet trail drops from her chin to her neck. Stop Bella! "I'm so sorry," she whispers almost silently. Stop Bella! The end is near she feels it. STOP…
Edward stands before the glass watching silently as the nurse cradles the baby in her arms. So small so delicate, the life he helped create. The little girl who someday would call him Daddy, making him smile every time she did. He doesn't want to think about that now though he just wants to watch as she moves slowly in the lady's arms. Oh he would give that little girl the world right now if he could.
But he knew deep in his heart that he couldn't keep her she didn't deserve to get stuck with him the guy who couldn't even look after himself let alone his daughter. Or her mother who was the woman pulling Edward away from the sweet girl sleeping behind the glass. The woman who refused to look at her daughter, the woman who packed her bags and ran away from a hospital 5 hours after giving birth.
She was the one responsible for making Edward think he couldn't look after or love his little girl enough. He doesn't want her to have a missing mother and a dad who doesn't know how to be a dad. He wanted the entire universe for his little girl and in that moment in time giving her up was the best thing for her. So that is what he would do.
But standing there watching his beautiful daughter sleep for the first time his heart breaks. How can he let her go when all he wants to do is hold her tight forever and never let the harsh world taint her.
