Chapter 1- same old distance

Edward's pov

I was driving down the highway, staring blankly at the road in front of me. Alice was trying to cheer me up by fiddling with the radio.

She knew I hated music now.

Ever since I left B-

I couldn't even think her name. It hurt too much.

Ever since I left her, I stopped listening to and composing music.

Esme had a piano shipped to our new home in Rochester Minnesota. I couldn't even bear the sight of it. As soon as I had come home from the façade of high school, I destroyed it.

35 long years of the absence of my heart…at least she would be happy.

A normal life. That's what I had promised her.

I sighed in frustration. I should have known my plan would fail.

Two months after we had left, Carlisle heard word from his old colleague at the hospital that Bella had died.

At least, that's what they assumed.

She had gone missing and to this day, no one has heard a peep as to the mysterious disappearance of Miss. Swan. Not even Alice could purge to me where she was.

She was dead. My whole reason for existing was dead, but I was forced to live this unending existence without her.

I bided my time until my family grew tired of constantly watching over me. Once they finally focused on someone else, I would sneak off to Italy.

"Edward," Alice warned.

I sighed again.

Take away all your things and go

You can't take back what you said, I know

I've heard it all before, at least a million times

I'm not one to forget, you know

I don't believe, I don't believe it

You left in peace, left me in pieces

Too hard to breathe, I'm on my knees

Right now, 'ow

I'm so sick of that same old love, that shit, it tears me up

I'm so sick of that same old love, my body's had enough

Oh, (that same old love)

I'm so sick of that same old love, feels like I've blown apart

I'm so sick of that same old love, the kind that breaks your heart

Oh, (that same old love)

I'm not spending any time, wasting tonight on you

I know, I've heard it all

So don't you try and change your mind

Cause I won't be changing too, you know

You can't believe, still can't believe it

You left me in peace, left me in pieces

Too hard to breathe, I'm on my knees

Right now, 'ow

I'm so sick of that same old love, that shit, it tears me up

I'm so sick of that same old love, my body's had enough

Oh, (that same old love)

I'm so sick of that same old love, feels like I've blown apart

I'm so sick of that same old love, the kind that breaks your heart

Oh, (that same old love)

I'm so sick of it, so sick of that love

I'm so sick of that same old love, that shit, it tears me up

I'm so sick of that same old love, my body's had enough

Oh, (that same old love)

I'm so sick of that same old love, feels like I've blown apart

I'm so sick of that same old love, the kind that breaks your heart

Oh, (that same old love)

"That was Izzy and the Masen's with their new hit 'Same old love'. And I am Romeo. Thank you for listening to KNXR." The man in the radio station laughed as he said this.

Izzy and the Masen's? I had never heard of them before. Probably some new band. The lead singer definitely sounded familiar. But I hadn't played music in so long that I was sure I was mistaken.

Alice suddenly changed the station and the beautiful yet familiar voice assaulted my ears again. I didn't know who she was, but I could honestly say I enjoyed her voice.

The melodic masterpiece of her voice seemed to flow with the sound of an acoustic guitar. She paired in perfect harmony with a male voice that seemed to sing of a lost love. Songs like these were typically off limits for me, but I couldn't bring myself to tell Alice to stop.

The sun is filling up the room
And I can hear you dreaming
Do you feel the way I do right now?
I wish we would just give up
Cause the best part is falling
Call it anything but love
And I will make sure to keep my distance
Say, "I love you," when you're not listening
And how long can we keep this up, up, up?
Please don't stand so close to me
I'm having trouble breathing
I'm afraid of what you'll see right now
I give you everything I am
All my broken heart beats
Until I know you'll understand
And I will make sure to keep my distance
Say, "I love you," when you're not listening
And how long can we keep this up, up, up?
And I keep waiting
For you to take me
You keep waiting
To save what we have
So I'll make sure to keep my distance
Say, "I love you," when you're not listening
And how long can we keep this up, up, up?
Make sure to keep my distance
Say, "I love you," when you're not listening
How long 'til we call this love, love, love?

"That was Izzy and the Masen's with their song 'Distance'."

Alice changed the channel again and I began to get suspicious of her.

She glanced at me, and her mind became occupied with Newton's law.

"Edward, would you take me to Schmitt's music?" She asked out of the blue.

"Sure Alice, why?"

"I want Izzy's album."
