A/N Hey everybody, I'm hoping this gets a good reception. This is only my second fanfiction (New To The Clan is my first) but I kinda like it.

Disclaimer: Don't own Twilight. Never have, never will. Sigh.

Anyways, it's basically an Edward-gives-up story. That's right, he comes back during New Moon only to find his beloved suffering. Sounds a tad cheesy I know but now that you've read my Author's Note, you may as well read the rest...

Chapter 1

B.P.O.V.

My nightmare woke me again. I thrashed in my bed, legs tangled up in sheets for a few moments before I realised I was awake. My jerky movements slowed quickly but my panting took an eternity to calm. I lay in the darkness for I don't know how long but found I couldn't go back to sleep. I didn't know why I tried. Even if I did manage to slip under, I would just return to my personal hell.

I yanked my legs loose and swung them over the edge of the mattress. Sitting dizzily, I rubbed my eyes till the headrush retreated.

I padded, slumped in on myself, to the instrument in the corner. Grabbing hold of the material covering, I unsheathed it, revealing a shabby upright piano. Spread along the music shelf were sheets of handwritten music. I gathered them all together, organised them and began to play.

If my mother heard me now, she would have a fit. Whether of joy, pride or disbelief, I had no idea. I had been put through lessons as a child but never really got the hang of it.

After he left, I had to make sure I hadn't been dreaming so I'd gone searching for a second hand piano from somewhere cheap. Charlie hadn't totally believed my story of wanting to fill in my extra time, but he had forced himself to buy the lie anyway. The truth was, I wanted to write out the lullaby he had composed for me in my previous life. If I could remember him by anything, it would be this.

Sorry this is so short. Most of the chapters will be short but I will hopefully be able to update real quick. This may or may not be a long story, though I have a feeling It'll be shorter rather than longer.

Thanks for reading. Now please review! I know you may be busy and you may not want to waste time reviewing but all it takes is one sentence. Seriously. Just write if you like it or hate it and why. It's not that hard is it?

Thanks,
