A/N: I got inspiration for this listening to The Heart Never Lies, when it struck me how it fitted with New Moon. It could apply to when Edward was trying to explain to Bella he still loved her, too, but I like this scene better. R&R please!

Bella POV
I was listening to the radio in my room, thinking about everything but one thing, when one song in particular came on. It was The Heart Never Lies by Mcfly. As I listened to it, my brain processed the lyrics slowly.
Some people laugh
Some people cry
Some people live
Some people die
Some people run right into the fire
Some people hide their every desire
But we are the lovers
If you don't believe me
Just look into my eyes
Cause the heart never lies
It was ironic, this song. I've laughed, I've cried. I lived, now I've died. I ran into the fire, now I'm hiding my every desire. The first verse was bizarrely accurate, in a before and after kind of way. But the second wasn't. We weren't lovers anymore, and it seemed the heart did lie, because it lied to me. It made me believe things that weren't true, and now I'm broken because of it.
Some people fight
Some people fall
Others pretend they don't care at all
Again, the lyrics matched perfectly with my life. I'd fought, but I'd fallen, and now I had to pretend I couldn't care less, when in fact I cared much more than I should.
If you want to fight
I'll stand right beside you
The day that you fall
I'll be right behind you
To pick up the pieces
If you don't believe me
Just look into my eyes
Cause the heart never lies
This bit made the hole in my chest ache painfully, and I only noticed the tears when they landed on my lap. He hadn't stood beside me, and he was gone when I fell, no one was there to pick up the pieces, leaving me to do it myself. And hearts did lie, they lied way too often and way too much.
Whoa, whoa
Another year over
And we're still together
It's not always easy
But I'm here forever
More tears cascaded down my cheeks when I heard the next verse. We weren't together; we were as apart as possible. It wasn't here, he was meant to be here forever, but now he was gone.
Yeah we are the lovers
I know you believe me
When look into my eyes
Cause the heart never lies
Cause the heart never lies
Yeah, cause the heart never lies
The pain in my chest became too much and I gave in to the tears. I got up from my bed, and walked toward the CD player, meaning to switch it off, but instead, because I couldn't see through my tears, I knocked it off my desk completely.
Bending down to pick it up, I noticed one of the floorboards was loose, and I could see the glint of something shiny underneath. Curious, I tried to pull the floorboard up, and found the nails came out relatively easily. After some effort, I pulled the floorboard up completely, moving it away to see the contents. There was a bag in there, and I pulled it out, replacing the floorboard.
I emptied the bag on my bed, shifting through the contents quickly. When I saw what was inside, I nearly fainted. There was an unmarked CD case, containing a blank silver CD, a pile of photos and two plane tickets. As if in a trance, I stood up, CD case in hand, and walked over to my CD player. I placed the CD inside, then placed CD player back on my desk, and pressed play.
I recognised the beautiful tune almost instantly. It was my lullaby. I choked back more tears, sitting down on the bed. In a rush, it all came back to me, everything I'd desperately been trying to forget. That first day in Biology, the meadow, his house, James, everything right up until my birthday. And I relished in them, despite the tears they brought. Even if he never came back, and least I'd be able to remember the happy times. I just hoped that it was a good thing.
A/N: I would like to take this opportunity to advertise something. My other one shots and all that. If you would be so kind as to go take a looky at my profile, which is worth reading anyways, and read and maybe even review my other stuff, I'd appreciate it! Of course, you don't have to, but I'd like you to...
