Bella POV
I remember that first time I ever saw you. I had just moved here. You said that you had moved from a small town called Forks in Washington. It's funny because I had lived there to and had never seen you. You said that you had been here in Phoenix for a while. I had just moved here. I couldn't take it anymore. My parents' divorce just lingering through the town. Everyone wanted to know if I was just a mistake. That my mom had been just a girl who happened to get pregnant with the chief of police and that the only reason that they had gotten married was to keep me in a safe home.
You were in college, working part-time, waiting tables
Left a small town, never looked back
I was a flight risk, with the fear of falling
Wondrin' why we both bother with love, if it never lasts.
We're together! I can't believe that when we saw each other it just….. clicked. I can just see it. We move in together. But that'll probably never happen.
I say, "can you believe it?"
As we're lyin' on the couch
the moment, I can see it
Yes, yes, I can see it now
Our first date. Very cliché. A walk on the beach after getting steak sandwiches. And of course a milkshake. That we shared. And then, you put your arm around me. I thought I could just…. Die of happiness then. Then you had an idea. "Let's go do something drastic!" you said as you dragged me to the car. I asked "What are we gonna do?" and then you said with a very big grin "We are gonna go sky diving!" I was thinking you were joking but apparently by what happened next you weren't. Sigh. That was the best day of my entire life.
Do you remember, we were sittin' there,by the water?
You put your arm around me, for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man's, careful daughter
You are the best thing, that's ever been mine
I guess I was wrong. All my stuff is ALREADY at your place. And the world isn't gonna stop us! It can't. Our love is to strong. You had already learned my secrets by now. Thankfully you don't mind why I'm guarded. And then you say that we won't make all of the mistakes my parents made. But we will. Or we'll make different ones. You wanna know what I think about while we pay the bills? How we have absolutely nothing figured out yet. Your still working at that diner. I'm still in college.
Flash forward, and we're takin' on the world together
and there's a drawer of my things, at your place
You learn my secrets and ya figure out, why I'm guarded
you say we'll never make my parents' mistakes
But we got bills to pay
We got nothin' figured out
When it was hard to take
Yes, yes
This is what I thought about:
Do you remember, we were sittin' there, by the water?

You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing, that's ever been mine
"I can't do it anymore Bells!" You said when you got home. It was so late! Past two in the morning!
"You can't do what anymore Emmett?"
"This! The bills! Everything! We're not gonna be able to afford a nice wedding like you want! And honestly who gives a crap about one either? I don't! Let's just let a fake Elvis marry us in L.A. and then in a few years we can re-do it and then it can be perfect!"
"Let some guy trying to pull off an Elvis accent and not very well marry us? NO! I won't do it Em! I won't do it! I wanna get married in a church, with a nice white dress, and flowers, flower girls, bridesmaids, groomsmen! I'm not getting married at some casino!"
"Well then you just can't marry me at all! Unless you wanna wait about five years!"
"Fine then! I won't wait! I'll just pack my bags and go now! WITHOUT you!"
As I ran out into the street to calm down so I wouldn't throw anything at you, I felt something. Something warm grab my hand. Turning around I saw it was you and I just fell into your arms sobbing. you tried comforting me but it didn't help. I was too scared. I didn't want to end up divorced like my parents. They did love each other at one time. They dated all through high school but then when my mom got pregnant they had to settle down early instead of going towards their dreams. Mom wanted to be a lawyer and dad was gonna be a detective. Now he has to settle with the chief of police and my mom. I have no clue what my mom does. She does random things now. She won't settle down. Not even with her boyfriend.
Then I heard it. What you said as you held me in your arms.
"I'll never leave her alone. I remember exactly what if felt when I first looked into her eyes. I still feel it every day. Did you know that I fell in love with a man who didn't give a crap about what he did with his daughter? And that his carelessness turned his beautiful daughter into the most careful girl that I've ever met. She never even let me kiss her goodnight on our first date. Though she's not quite a girl. She the absolute most beautiful, most hottest, most sexiest woman I've ever seen. She the best thing, that's ever been mine. Do you know who that girl is Bella?"
"Me?" I asked hesitantly.
"You." You replied smiling. "I love you."
"I love you too."
And I remember that fight, two-thirty AM
You said everything was slipping right out of our hands
I ran out crying, and you, followed me out into the street
Braced myself for the goodbye, 'cause that's all I've ever known
then, you took me by surprise
you said, "I'll never leave you alone."
You said, "I remember how we felt, sitting by the water.
And every time I look at you, it's like the first time.
I fell in love with a careless man's, careful daughter.
She is the best thing, that's ever been mine."
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter.
You are the best thing, that's ever been mine.
Do you believe it?
We're gonna make it now
And I can see it
I can see it now.
