A/N- when I first heard the song, It totally reminded me of Carlisle and Esme. I hope I did Carlisle's point of view justice, and he was in charater, please leave a review to tell me.

Carlisle's point of view

'Oh, its going to feel good to go hunting again. I should really know better then wait two and a half weeks inbetween hunting', I thought to myself. It was another long day at the hospitol, A big car pileup, on mainstreet definatly kept me busy. Not to mention tempting me more then I would like.

As soon as I got home, in my Model 735 Roadster. I got out not even bothering going in to drop off my stuff and say my greetings to Edward, I started to run towards the forrest.

In the midst of feeding on a elk, when I smelled sometihng unexpected. Human. The sent was vaguely familiar, and this perked my curiosity greatly.

After finishing of the Elk I was currently feeding ono I wen tot investigate. Sure that my hunger was satisfied for the time being, enough so that I could be around a nouther human anyway.

following the scent getting stronger the closer I came to the owner. I was nearing a cliff, and continued on. though some bushes I see a beautiful woman with silky caremel locks of hair. Her back is turned towards me, so I am unable to see her face. But I know who it is in an instant. Esme Platt. She was at the edge of the cliff looking up to heaven, and then looked down towards the rocks and clashing waves beneath her.

Fade in, start the scene
Enter beautiful girl
But things are not what they seem
As we stand at the edge of the world

I walk closer to her, away from the bushes.She talkes in the angel like voice I heard ten years ago. But the tone was not the same.

"Excuse me, sir,
But I have plans to die tonight
Oh, and you are directly in my way
And I bet you're gonna say it's not right"

This can't be right. A creature as wonderful as her, can't be so depressed that she wants to take her own life. It does not work like that. Esme was suppose to have this wonderful like and be a mother like she told me that one night ten years ago.

My reply:
"Excuse me, miss
But do you have the slightest clue
Of exactly what you just said to me
And exactly who you're talking to?"

She said, "I don't care, you don't even know me"
I said, "I know but I'd like to change that soon, hopefully"
Yeah, we all flirt with the tiniest notion

Of self conclusion in one simplified motion
You see the trick is that you're never supposed to act on it
No matter how unbearable this misery gets

"I have tried this before" I added. "Suicide is never the answer. There is always a reason to live, trust me I have been were you are right now, and I am grateful that I was not successful." I tell her, hoping she will decide againt the decision she has made.

"You make it sound so easy to be alive
But tell me, how am I supposed to seize this day
When everything inside me has died?"

"I just lost my one and only son, and everyone has either abandoned me or abused me, no one cares wheither I die or not, so just leave me alone" She pleaded with me,on her knees now.

I had no idea her life would have turned out like this. It broke my heart to see her so hopless. Then another emotion rose over me, one that I hadn't felt in quite a many years. Anger, and revenge. I wanted alll the people how made Esme feel so alone to pay. Pay for what they had done to her, but before I could let my anger be shown on my face I calmed down and spoke again.

My reply:
"Trust me, girl
I know your legs are pleading to leap
But I offer you this easy choice-
Instead of dying, living with me"

I had no idea where that came from. Before I even thought of my suggestion it was out of my mouth.

She said, "Are you crazy? You don't even know me."
I said, "I know, but I'd like to change that soon hopefully"

She had a point, but I was not going to let a little factor like that ruin the idea. The more I thought about it them more I liked the thought.

"Trust me this is not the only way" your not the only one to think like this, we all do. But you don't have to act on it.

I would be lying if I said that things would never get rough
And all this cliche motivation, it could never be enough
I could stand here all night trying to convince you
But what good would that do?
My offer stands, and you must choose

"All right, you win, but I only give you one night
To prove yourself to be better than my atttempt at flight
I swear to god if you hurt me I will leap
I will toss myself from these very cliffs
And you'll never see it coming"
"Settle, precious, I know what you're going through
Just ten minutes before you got here I was going to jump too"

That was not exactly true, but at one time it was. I fel the more encouragment I gave her the better chances of her staying with me.

Yeah we all flirt with the tiniest notion
Of self conclusion in one simplified motion
You see the trick is that you're never supposed act on it
No matter how unbearable this misery gets
