Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight, SM does.
Summary: Bella and Edward – best friends – and nothing more. Or so they thought, until it was almost too late. *Free-verse*
A Boy and A Girl
Two five year olds – one a boy, and another a girl –
Made a promise
To never let go
For, it was a pinky swear!
Oh so important… Oh so precious!
Best friends throughout, grew up with each other
Years passed, and they still continued to be
And what's that thing – a boy and a girl can never be friends?
They used to laugh about it
Just remained carefree
Everybody doubted them
Knew that they would end up together, happily married.
Because, Edward got Bella,
And Bella was made for him.
.
.
.
But things never remain the same, do they?
Jealousy was a green-eyed monster
Especially when you're nothing but a third wheel
Edward tried to be a sport
Bella for the first time – ignored.
Then her heart broke,
He was there for her, of course, bitter though.
Best friend forever, remember?
He picked her up, patched her heart, almost made it new
Seeing her hurt, he realized
He wanted to be her man
Not just her go-to guy
He tried to tell
Nerves held him down
Fear gripped his heart
Words failed his lips
'You're going to find someone who really loves you, Bella,' he told her
She smiled and hugged him
'I'm right here,' I love you, I am the one – only, he never completed
.
.
.
Bella was going to get married
Jacob loved her, and she loved him too!
Yet everything felt wrong
It shouldn't, right? She wondered to herself
Never revealed her inner thoughts
Especially, not to her best friend
The day came closer
She ignored and pretended – Jacob was her man, and she loved him.
Edward had given up all hope
He had his chance, and he had lost it
Now, he was nothing but a poor sport
Time had changed them,
It changed everyone
They understood
The big day got closer
He thought he could deal with it
She needed him to be there
But he couldn't, he couldn't give her away
He left – to grieve in another city.
.
.
.
With Edward gone, her emotions were a mess
She knew she couldn't do it anymore
She came clean – broke her engagement, broke Jacob's heart
She was guilty, but more relieved
Distance had revealed her the truth
She knew what her heart really wanted, who it really wanted
She caught the first flight, and was off
'Bella?' Edward felt nothing but shock
It was her wedding day;
She was supposed to be getting married
Bella didn't say anything,
She launched herself on him
She threw her arms around his neck
And a chaste kiss on his lips
Shock froze him
Just for a moment
She was hot on his lips
He kissed her back
The contained passion was out
'I… couldn't do it,' she said breathlessly.
'It's you…'
'Oh Bella, it's always been you.'
He held her close, and promised to never let her go
She felt calm, she felt soothed.
Pinky promise did survive
He was always her boy
And she was always his girl
AN: Well, it's been long since I wrote anything Twilight, and I can't ignore my first writing fandom now, can I? So, here's my first free-verse for Twilight. =)
I hope you like it!
