We Can Still Survive

Chapter 1

Victorian La Belle

As Edward and I lay awake in my darkened room, my radio sings

softly through the nights secrets. His arms are securely wrapped

around me, like a shield to protect me against the world. We can lie

here without a word all night, only spilling our souls into a cup for the

other to consume. Softly a song began, immediately he and I

recognized the song. His arms tighten the slightest just to reassure me

that his would stay, concrete.

"Time is gonna take my mind

and carry it far away where I can fly

The depth of life will dim my temptation to live for you

If I were to be alone silence would rock my tears

'cause it's all about love and I know better

How life is a waving feather

So I put my arms around you around you

And I know that I'll be leaving soon

"May I have this dance?" Edward whispers nuzzling my thick hair

tenderly.

"You may." I laugh. Tentatively he releases me only to pick me

up and carry me to the middle of the room. He looks at me as I lie in

his arms like a treasure, and if I didn't know other wise I saw a tear

glisten in his eyes. Embarrassed he released me slowly.

My eyes are on you they're on you

And you see that I can't stop shaking

No, I won't step back but I'll look down to hide from your eyes

'cause what I feel is so sweet and I'm scared that even my own breath

Oh could burst it if it were a bubble

And I'd better dream if I have to struggle

So I put my arms around you around you

And I hope that I will do no wrong

My eyes are on you they're on you

And I hope that you won't hurt me

I silently place my arms around his neck, Edward placed his on my

waist. We began to dance, swaying in time with the music.

I'm dancing in the room as if I was in the woods with you

No need for anything but music

Music's the reason why I know time still exists

Time still exists

Time still exists

Time still exists

So I put my arms around you around you

And I hope that I will do no wrong

My eyes are on you they're on you

And I hope that you won't hurt me

So I put my arms around you around you

And I hope that I will do no wrong

My eyes are on you they're on you

And I hope that you won't hurt me"

"Thank you, Bella?" Edward asked as the song ended.

"Yes?" I answered my head still buried in his chest to shade the fact

traitor tears had brimmed my eyes.

"Oh, Bella why are you crying?" Edward whispered sounding suddenly

ashamed.

"Please never leave me." I said looking up at him. We continued to

slow dance though the song was much too frantic to dance to.

Gradually we came to a stop; Edward looked at me with such

sadness that my heart broke in two. Edward took my face in his hands

and whispered;

"Never Bella, you're my air, what makes me finally have a reason for

life. Without you I would die." Broken sobs erupted through out the

room, the sounds were coming from me, I realized, my heart. We

hadn't spoken about the hole that ripped my being apart when he left,

and the fact that he tried to kill himself.

I reburied my face securely on his broad perfectly sculpted chest. His

arms returned to their rightful spot.

"I love you." Edward whispered soaking my essence into his memory.

"Now I tell you openly you have my heart so dont hurt me" I quoted

looking up at him. He kissed me fercly, quick and intense. Like

he was saying he would try his best not to.
