I stared into the racing scenery that was leading to my unfortunate fate. My mind relayed the past memories of the last couple of days to me. Jacob's pain. Charlie's confusion. My friend's misunderstandings. Edward's misery. Edward…that was why I was here. I was here for Edward. I readjusted myself in my seat of Alice's stolen car when a song started to play on the radio. It was a song I had never heard before. It vaguely reminded me of something…
Closed
off from love
I didn't need the pain
Once or twice was enough
And it was all in vain
Time starts to pass
Before you
know it you're frozen
Edward was here. He was here in Volterra. And he thought I was dead. I gulped. I looked to my side to see if I was dreaming. I was not. Alice was here, and she was driving like a lunatic. I smiled at this insignificant thought. I couldn't help thinking of Edward when I thought about her reckless driving and the song playing at the same time. The time in the meadow…
But
something happened
For the very first time with you
My heart
melted into the ground
Found something true
And everyone's
looking round
Thinking I'm going crazy
But I was pulled into the present, away from this memory, because I was here to save Edward. Everyone had told me not to go. Everyone who knew the purpose for my disappearance. And only Jacob knew the real reason. My friends and Charlie would probably guess it was something Edward-related.
But
I don't care what they say
I'm in love with you
They try to
pull me away
But they don't know the truth
My heart's
crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open
and I
The car suddenly slowed down. I looked at Alice, and her brows were furrowed in frustration… or anger. Maybe both. I didn't feel like talking to her about the traffic. I was listening to the song intently, seeing the truth behind the words, but the verse that caught my attention was the last one. But I refused to think about it further because that was my worst memory. The one where he left me…
Keep
bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep,
keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open
Whoever wrote this knew what they were talking about. I had experienced the same exact thing. The pain. I had even felt the way she described it "bleeding love". I was constantly feeling this way recently. Probably because I knew Edward was in danger.
Trying
hard not to hear
But they talk so loud
Their piercing sounds
fill my ears
Try to fill me with doubt
Yet I know that the
goal
Is to keep me from falling
Suddenly, his voice rang clear in my head. This caused me to take a double-take to make sure he wasn't actually in the car. He wasn't.
"Bella, stay away. You'll get hurt. Stay away…"
Get out of my head! I'm saving you and that's it!
I compressed his voice by focusing on the song again.
But
nothing's greater
Than the rush that comes with your embrace
And
in this world of loneliness
I see your face
Yet everyone
around me
Thinks that I'm going crazy, maybe, maybe
Oh my god, this song was basically made for my life story. I laughed at myself. I remembered how dysfunctional I was until Jacob had come into my life. I stopped thinking because that would not help the current situation. I zoned out so much that I missed the chorus.
And
it's draining all of me
Oh they find it hard to believe
I'll
be wearing these scars
For everyone to see
I had an actual scar for this one. I looked down at my hand and stroked the crescent shaped scar that was forever sealed on it. Edward saved me, now I was going to save him. I thought about this as we drove into Volterra. The last words I heard besides Alice's when I sprinted out of the car to find the clock tower were:
Keep
bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
And I suddenly knew that everything was going to be all right.
A/N: So, that was my first song fic ever. I hoped you guys liked it. I was just listening to "Bleeding Love" one day and decided that this was practically Bella's life story. So, go ahead and press that pretty, little, blue button and review! If you do, Edward will come to your house tomorrow and say that he loves you! No, not really. But a girl can dream. But get out there and review!
