"But, Edward! You have a career to think of. This is your dream."
"No. It was my dream. And I will leave it in a second for the two of you."
"I can't let you do that. I'm sorry Edward. His name flew off my tongue, and I wondered how many more times I would be able to say it. "I'm a distraction, and this baby would be a distraction. You can't let your band down. I wont let you." My heart wrenched apart as I said those words, but I had to let him go. The last mental picture I got of him was of his eyes, an emerald green, brimming with unshed tears as I whispered my final words. "I love you, Edward. Just please promise me that that the band doesn't end because of me. Stay together, follow your dreams, and you'll be famous one day." He was silent.
"Bella." He whispered finally. "Please don't do this." I turned around and walked out the door.

3 months later
It's a girl. Alice was with me in the hospital, and the ultrasound picture was in my hand. I'm going to be a mom. I hope she has Edward's hair. Or maybe his eyes. We walked out and drove to our apartment, where my other roommate Rose was waiting for the final word.
She freaked out when she heard I was having a girl. I could already see the glint in her eye. Shopping for baby clothes. Pink. Dresses. Pink. Bows. Pink. Pink. Pink. The day moved on, and Alice mentioned something that I dreaded. "Who's the father again?" I was about to try and carefully avoid the question when the music on the radio on the stopped, and the DJ started talking. I stalled by listening intently.
"We've got a new band, three brothers from Washington who call themselves Spandel Ballet. Here's Kevin, Jake, and Lenny Mason with a song Kevin wrote himself, titled 'Picture of You'." Not now. Not now. Dear God, why now of all times? I tried to tear my self away, but every fiber in my body was resisting. I had to hear his voice. I knew this was Edward's band. They must have given themselves fake names, but I know that was what Emmett wanted to name the band.
This is the clock upon the wall
This is the story of us all
This is the first sound of a newborn child,
Before he starts to crawl
This is the war that's never won
This is a soldier and his gun
This is the mother waiting by the phone,
Praying for her son
[Chorus]
Pictures of you, pictures of me
Hung upon your wall for the world to see
Pictures of you, pictures of me
Remind us all of what we used to be
There is a drug that cures it all
Blocked by the governmental wall
We are the scientists inside the lab,
Just waiting for the call
This earthquake weather has got me shaking inside
I'm high up and dry
[Chorus]
Confess to me, every secret moment
Every stolen promise you believed
Confess to me, all that lies between us
All that lies between you and me
We are the boxers in the ring
We are the bells that never sing
There is a title we can't win no matter
How hard we might swing
[Chorus]
[Chorus Repeat]
As I walk through the valley
of the shadow of LA
The footsteps that were next to me
have gone their separate ways
I've seen enough now
to know that beautiful things
don't always stay that way
I've done enough now
to know this beautiful place
isn't everything they say
I heard that evil comes disguised
Like a city of angels
I'm walking towards the light
Baptized in the river
I've seen a vision of my life
And I wanna be delivered
In the city was a sinner
I've done a lot of things wrong
But I swear I'm a believer
Like the prodigal son
I was out on my own
Now I'm trying to find my way back home
Baptized in the river
I'm delivered
I'm delivered
[:]
You're from a small town
You're gonna grow up fast
underneath these lights
Down in Hollywood
on the boulevard the dead come back to life
To the praying Mother
And the worried Father
Let your children go
If they come back
They'll come home stronger
And if they don't you'll know
They say that evil comes disguised
Like a city of angels
I'm walking towards the light
Baptized in the river
I've seen a vision of my life
And I wanna be delivered
In the city was a sinner
I've done a lot of things wrong
But I swear I'm a believer
Like the prodigal son
I was out on my own
Now I'm trying to find my way back home
Baptized in the river
I'm delivered
I'm delivered
Baptized in the river (on my own)
Baptized in the river (on my own)
I wanna be delivered
(on my own, on my own)
Baptized in the river (on my own)
I wanna be delivered
Baptized in the river (on my own)
I wanna be delivered
Baptized in the river (on my own)
I wanna be delivered
I confess I'm a sinner
I've seen a vision of my life
And I wanna be delivered!
I just wanted to lock myself up in a room and cry. I wanted to scream into a pillow and sob until my tears ran dry. I should have never left him. I should have given it a chance, like Edward said. There had to be a way, but it was too late now. As I contemplated his lyrics, my 'oh so wonderful' roommates began talking.
"So good…what… think made… write that song?" jolted out of my haze. They can NEVER find out Edward's the father of my child. It took me a long time to erase all of my communication links with Edward, and if they found out, they would do something crazy for him to find me, resulting in him leaving the band that is finally getting somewhere. I couldn't risk that.
so? What did you guys think? If you liked it, and want me to continue, then you should review, and tell me what you think. thanks! =D
