A/N: Alright, this is all human, and I thought of the idea from the song Just A Dream by Carrie Underwood. Bella and Edward get married, but then he's drafted into the war. This is a one shot. If a FF has ever been done from inspiration of this song before, I'm not copying.
Disclaimer: I'm bored, so I don't own Twilight.
Bella POV:
It was two weeks after the day she turned eighteen
All dressed in white, going to the church that night
She had his box of letters in the passenger seat
Six pence in her shoe, something borrowed, something blue.
It's been about a month since Edward and I got married, and we received some of the most terrible news. Edward got drafted into the war, he was leaving in one week. I don't want him to leave, but he has to. I suggested packing our bags and running off to a country like Canada. People didn't go to war there if they didn't want to. Too much technical difficulties though, there was no way we could get all the papers we need the fast. Edward is also proud to serve his country.
"Are you sure you have to go, Edward?" I murmur.
"Yes, I don't have any choice in this, Bella."
"I'm going to miss you."
"I'm going to miss you too." he says softly, as he wraps his arms around me.
The days go by, and the date nears, I don't want to let go. For me, this seems like the beginning of the end. I have a bad feeling about this.
Today is the day, the day of the end, I can feel it. I choke on the tears as I hug the love of my life.
"G-goodbye, Edward."
"I'll be back, Bella. I promise, I'll come back."
"I love you." I mouth at him.
He kisses me. "I love you too."
And when the church doors opened up wide,
She put her veil down trying to hide the tears.
She just couldn't believe it
She heard the trumpets from the military band,
And the flowers fell from out of her hands
Baby why'd you leave me, why'd you have to go?
I was counting on forever, now I'll never know.
I can't even breathe.
It's like I'm looking from a distance, standing in the background
Everybody's saying he's not coming home now
This can't be happening to me
This is just a dream.
It's been weeks since I got the most devastating call of my life, my Edward was gone. Killed when the tank he was in hit a roadside bomb. Now here I am, sitting at his funeral. All I have is the memories, and those memories aren't enough to last me a life time. My mother and father sat on either side of me, and held my hand.
The preacher man said lets bow our heads and pray
Lord please lift his soul, and heal this hurt
Then the congregation all stood up and sang the saddest song
that she ever heard.
The they handed her a folded up flag
and she held on to all she had left of him
oh and what could've been.
And then the guns rang one last shot
and it felt like a bullet in her heart.
Death is peaceful, easy. Life, life is so much harder. Especially with out Edward. The days feel like they run on, all strung together. Never beginning, never ending. A circle, my life is a never ending circle of hurt. I wonder what it could have been if he didn't have to go, if he were still alive...
Baby why'd you leave me, why'd you have to go?
I was counting on forever, now I'll never know.
I can't even breathe.
It's like I'm looking from a distance, standing in the background
Everybody's saying he's not coming home now
This can't be happening to me
This is just a dream.
Oh, oh baby why'd you leave me, why'd you have to go?
I was counting on forever now I'll never know
Oh, I'll never know
It's like I'm looking from a distance, standing in the background
Everybody's saying he's not coming home now
This can't be happening to me
This is just a dream
Oh, this is just a dream.
Just a dream
I know this is going to be hard, but I have to find my way to move on, somehow. For now, I'll pretend this is a dream, and that Edward is here with me.
A/N: It's not really that good, but it's a plot bunny that has been torturing me, so I just had to write it. Leave me a review to say what you think if you want. :)
