Well, this is the redone version of my other Twilight story, "The Only One".
This will be a Bella/Demetri story, as there seems to be a few amounts of these stories. It will not contain OCs that is vital to the plot. Other pairings include Felix/Heidi, Chelsea/Afton, and so on.
I mustn't reveal too much! *Gets shifty eyed*
Disclaimer: I don't own any part, character, or the plot of Twilight. All I own is the plot of this story.
Now I know that I can't make you stay
But where's your heart?
But where's your heart?
But where's your?
And I know there's nothing I could say
To change that part
To change that part
To change
So many bright lights to cast a shadow, but can I speak?
Well, is it hard understanding I'm incomplete?
A life that's so demanding, I get so weak
A love that's so demanding, I can't speak
I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey if you stay, I'll be forgiven
Nothing you could say can stop me going home
Can you see my eyes are shining bright
'Cause I'm out here on the other side
Of a jet black hotel mirror and I'm so weak
Is it hard understanding I'm incomplete?
A love that's so demanding I get weak
I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey if you stay, I'll be forgiven
Nothing you could say can stop me going home
I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey if you stay, I'll be forgiven
Nothing you could say can stop me going home
These bright lights have always blinded me
These bright lights have always blinded me
I say
I see you lying next to me
With words I thought I'd never speak
Awake and unafraid
Asleep or dead
(How can I see, I see you lying)
'Cause I see you lying next to me
(How can I see, I see you lying)
With words I thought I'd never speak
(How can I see, I see you lying)
Awake and unafraid
(How can I see, I see you lying)
Asleep or dead!
'Cause I see you lying next to me
With words I thought I'd never speak
Awake and unafraid
Asleep or dead!
'Cause I see you lying next to me
With words I thought I'd never speak
Awake and unafraid
Asleep or dead!
I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
(Or dead!)
Honey if you stay, I'll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home
(Or dead!)
I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
(Or dead!)
Honey if you stay, I'll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home
(Or dead!)
I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
(Or dead!)
Honey if you stay, I'll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home
~ Famous Last Words by My Chemical Romance ~
~ Forks, Washington – Approximately two months since Edward's leaving. Bella's POV: ~
I woke to the 'pitter-patter' of the rain on the roof of my home. It was just another day in my horrible life. I slowly rolled over to face my alarm clock, and I mentally groaned as I saw the red letters of 4:03 flashing back at me. It was too early to get up, but the nightmares that constantly plagued me woke me up this early.
My life had been the same cycle since the supposed love of my life, Edward, had left me two months ago. Every morning I had woken up covered in sweat and gasping for air, reliving the memories of that fateful night, just in a nightmare format. It seemed hopeless for ma and my future.
My father, Charlie Swan, was worried about my mental stability. I often heard on the phone with my mother debating about sending me to Florida with Renée and Phil. But I didn't want that. I wanted to stay here, at Forks.
I slowly got up and walked down the hall of my father's home, listening to the sound of my footsteps as I reached my destination. The bathroom.
Everything was pristine, just as I expected. I made my way over to the mirror, and a broken gasp broke from my parched lips.
If only I had known what I had done to myself, and it's true extent.
My pale skin, once described as pale as a vampire's, looked as if I were a person who had an illness. My brown hair was dull and matted, compared to the shine Alice had insisted I maintained. My face and body seemed skeletal, as I never had good eating habits before, and it worsened after Edward's leaving.
Just the thought of his name hurt, but a new revelation hit me as I realized the truth.
He had once explained the concept of soul mates to me. Soul mates were meant for each other, and were like two halves to a whole. If Edward truly was my soul mate, then why had he left me? It seemed as if it were impossible for soul mates to be a part this long after meeting, or at least from what Edward had told me.
A tear fell from my eyes, and soon a waterfall of tears was unleashed down my pale, yet broken face. A sob broke through me, and the woman in the mirror mimicked me, almost as if she were mocking my actions.
Why had Edward lied to me? Was I not good enough? My thoughts whirled through my head, as the sobs broke through my barriers. I felt used and dirty, like a play toy.
It was a good thing Charlie wasn't home. He would have sent me to a therapist immediately for this, another thing I wouldn't want.
I wiped my tears away as I stood up on shaky legs. I wasn't going to let myself cry over a man who lied to me. I wasn't going to cry over the Cullens anymore. No, I was going to be who I am. Isabella Marie Swan.
But first, I needed to rekindle my friends at school first. I walked slowly back to my room and picked up my messenger bag full of my textbooks and binders.
I pulled on a black 'My Chemical Romance' t-shirt, regular skinny jeans, and a pair of converse on in record time. I didn't bother to accessorize as I slung my bag over my shoulder and walked out the door and locked it securely.
I slung my bag onto the passenger seat of my truck, and revved the engine. I felt my heartbeat increase at the shock of the noise of the engine, and then slow down again as I grimly smiled.
The monotonous Forks scenery flew by, and I found myself at the school pretty quickly. I found my old friends pretty quickly, minus Lauren. Lauren had stabbed them all in the back when she made friends with people she deemed more 'cool'.
As I walked closer to them, Jessica stopped jabbering away, and they all stopped to stare at me. I felt my confidence shatter at their blank stares, and the cool response they seemed to give me at a first glance.
"Do you need something, Bella?" Angela softly asked, her gentle brown eyes shining with warmth. Ben, Eric, Mike, and Jessica all stared at me from behind her, no doubt thinking that the crazy girl has finally come to them.
I took a deep breath just to calm myself. I had planned this moment out in the car several times, but the words jumbled up in my head.
"Guys, I'm sorry how I've been for the past few months. I've been a horrible friend, and I never should have done that. Will you all forgive me?" These words seemed to pour out of my mouth, and I began to wonder, where was this side of me hidden?
They all stared at me, dumbfounded. I had no doubt that I had shocked them into this stupor, and I began to fidget with my hands as I waited for at least one of them to respond.
Angela was the first to break out of the stupor, and her face was red for some odd reason, though I shouldn't be the one talking. "Bella, I'm glad to see you be yourself again! It hurt me to see you that way, and just because of Edward's selfish actions! Of course, I was never mad at you!" She rambled with a small smile, and she then hugged me with her eyes shining happily.
Ben and Eric just smiled and nodded, while Mike decided to take the more emotional route on the word choice.
"Arizona, I couldn't help but to feel hurt when you rejected me for Edward. It hurt me to see you that way, but now I've come to terms that I just want to see you happy. Not as a lover or boyfriend, as a friend. I accept your apology."
Angela, Jessica, and surprisingly Eric let out small 'Awwws" at his confession/statement, while I just stood there shocked. Mike Newton had confessed. He. Confessed.
After a moment of silence, a smile formed over my face. "Thanks, Mikey." I used his dreaded nickname just to taunt him, and he let out a small laugh.
"Don't even go there." He said with his pointer finger shaking in a naughty motion.
I turned to Jessica next; she had been silent the whole time. I saw that she had been studying me closely, no doubt that she was checking if I was being genuine. I aimed a small smile in her direction, which she returned. The most surprising part was that it was genuine as well.
"Bella, I accept your apology." Her words made me feel warm inside, I was accepted by my friends once more, even after me messing up everything after Edward's leaving.
I felt complete for once, for the first time since the Cullens had abandoned me.
Please review and tell me what you think of this…..?
Should I continue or not with this redo…..?
