Fortress Of Tears
By:Novicewriter
No one can hurt you now in this haven safe and sound
No one can save you now from this grace you are drowning in
Just hold your breath on your way down
A lone figure stood upon a grave. He never did get to see her again. That faithful day when everything went wrong. She did move on, she did have a normal human life. He was-what he thought-the only one there, but a young girl walked up behind him.
"Sir, may I ask how you knew my mother?" He turns to stare at the girl who couldn't have been older than 15. She had shoulder length brown curly hair. Her brown eyes reflecting the eternal youth in front of her.
"She was an old friend. I couldn't go on without saying goodbye." His voice was emotionless and filled with pain. "You must be her daughter, you look so much like her."
"Yes, I'm Cora Black."

The man looked up at the heavens and wondered how an angel could have gone so early, this Cora was still so young. Bella had died before Charlie had. The beautiful youth looked down again.
"I'm Edward Cullen." Her eyes lit with recognition and stared up at Edward.
"My mother used to tell stories of you. She wasn't exaggerating. You are beautiful. Eternally young. I always thought those were stories."
"Your mother wouldn't lie." He said, again with no emotion.
No one can free you now
From the chains around your heart
Don't be afraid now
Just dive in this emptiness
And hold your breath on your way down
"You have amazing eyes Edward, I am sure she is happy you came. She never did get over you, but she never really forgave you either. I know you still love her though. I found your gifts." Edward turned to look into the eyes of this teen.
"You were fast at finding them. Tell me, where were they?"
"In mom's closet. She said that she had found them a long time ago."
"Yes, Bella was a smart woman." The girl then turned around and walked off toward her home. Edward stayed and stared intently at the grave.

"Isabella Marie Swan. Wonderful mother and daughter." Edward knew the history. She had married Jacob, and had had one daughter. Bella and Jacob had split a year and a half into their marriage. Alice had told him.
He knelt down before the grave and sat there for a long time. Bella had died at the young age of 32, as so depicted on the marble.
Died in a car crash on her way back from work. She was still driving that old truck.
No one can hurt you now
In this haven safe and sound
Just hold your breath on your way down
Edward leaned forward and lay a gentle kiss on the marble headstone. "I love you Bella, I always have, I always will. Every moment that I was away from you was a mistake, and every second I live without you is killing me. Goodbye my angel, I will see you soon. My Angel."
