We were sitting in our bedroom, and I was watching my beautiful Bella while she read Wuthering Heights for what must have been the hundreth time. My wife, I thought, smiling at the mere thought. We had been married for three years now, and it seemed like yesterday.
It hadn't been easy at first; we'd had an incredibly rough start. She had been dating my brother of all people. And she had been human. And I had almost killed her. I shuddered at the memory of lunging at her when she cut herself on her eighteenth birthday. And I shuddered at the thought of how Edward had callously left her the next day, breaking her heart and her spirit in the process.
But I had come back. I couldn't stay away. I had split up with my wife Alice; we had been together for decades. Things hadn't been the same for a while anyway, and I was feeling disheartened with my existence. I had wandered through the arctic circle for a few months, thinking about the mess that my life (death?) had become. I took a chance though; I went back to Forks and she welcomed me back with open arms. I held her while she cried, and eventually brought out of her deep depression with my love. She in return breathed new life into me, convinced me that I was not a murdering monster like I had thought I was for over a hundred years. She convinced me to stop beating myself up over the past, and to live for a better future. A future with her.
"Whatcha thinking about Jazz?" she asked me, snapping me out of my daydream.
"Just about how much I love you," I told her, gathering her into my arms.
"As I love you," she said back, her warm honey eyes sparkling.
"You've helped me more than you can ever know," I told her honestly. "You killed my loneliness."
"You brought me back to life," she replied.
"I guess we helped each other then," I said, kissing her. I pulled her into my lap and began to sing softly in her ear.
Memories, sharp as daggers
Pierce into the flesh of today
Suicide of love took away all that matters
And buried the remains in an unmarked grave in your heart
With the venomous kiss you gave me
I'm killing loneliness (Killing loneliness)
With the warmth of your arms you saved me,
Oh, I'm killing loneliness with you
I'm killing loneliness that turned my heart into a tomb
I'm killing loneliness
Nailed to the cross, together
As solitude begs us to stay
Disappear in the lie forever
And denounce the power of death over our souls and secret words are said to start a war
With the venomous kiss you gave me
I'm killing loneliness (Killing loneliness)
With the warmth of your arms you saved me,
Oh, I'm killing loneliness with you
I'm killing loneliness that turned my heart into a tomb
I'm killing loneliness
Killing loneliness
With the venomous kiss you gave me
I'm killing loneliness (Killing loneliness)
With the warmth of your arms you saved me
"I love it when you sing to me," she whispered in my ear.
"Your love gives me something to sing for."
