Love of mine some
day you will die
But I'll be close behind
I'll follow you into
the dark
Once he had told her that if she had died he would not be far behind. Now, as the phone slid from his hand after a short conversation with Jacob Black it would seem he had to make good on this promise.
Suicide. Never in his wildest imaginings had he ever thought that his leaving would drive Bella to that. He didn't get many details from his conversation with Jacob, but he could piece it together. Isabella Swan had committed suicide by jumping off a cliff and the funeral was happening as he sat there.
No blinding light
or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so
tight
Waiting for the hint of a spark
If Heaven and Hell
decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the NOs on their
vacancy signs
As he fully realized his impending death he didn't see the light at the end of the tunnel or the pearly gates of Heaven that had so long been used to describe what happened as you waited for death. Instead he saw Bella just like she had been on her birthday and it was that image he kept in his mind as he boarded a plane for Italy.
If there's no one
beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the
dark
What hurt the most about her death was that he wasn't there to make it any easier, the thought that it was him who had driven her to her death. He would carry that burden through the rest of his life, short as it may be, and whatever came next. She had died alone, but she wouldn't be alone for long. He would be close behind.
In Catholic school
as vicious as Roman rule
I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in
black
And I held my tongue as she told me
"Son fear is the
heart of love"
So I never went back
If Heaven and Hell
decide If there's no one beside you
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the NOs on their
vacancy signs
When your soul
embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
As he sat on the plane his mind flooded with memories of his life, his human life. A life where talking out in class got you hit on the knuckles with a ruler, where you didn't talk in front of your elders, no matter how wrong they were.
The plane touched down and he walked off, preparing to face his death. Never once did he think about going back. If the Forces That Be permitted he would be with his love soon.
You and me have seen
everything to see
From Bangkok to Calgary
And the soles of your
shoes are all worn down
The time for sleep is now
It's nothing
to cry about
'cause we'll hold each other soon
In the blackest
of rooms
She had been through so much, being hunted by vampires and bitten by one. Again, he couldn't help but think that he had brought this on her, couldn't help but think if only he'd been strong enough to stay away from her things would have been better for her, if not for him.
He'd see her soon. He could apologize for being such an idiot, for not keeping his distance. And if she still wanted him they would be together always.
He took a deep breath,
preparing to step out into the sun in front of hundreds of people. He
would not live long after that; he could almost feel his death upon
him. He put out his foot to take the step forward into the path of
the sun, but before he could a body plowed into him. If
Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate
the No's on their vacancy signs
If there's no one
beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the
dark
Then I'll follow you into the dark
