Brighter, a twilight fanfic

Brighter.

Me and Edward had gotten into a fight. Even though he only sat next to me in biology, I still felt a compulsion to talk to him and get to know him better. God I'm such an idiot sometimes. This fight was about something stupid, how he didn't want me near him. I knew it was a façade, but I couldn't be sure. As Edward walked away, I couldn't help but notice the unbearable distance between us.

So this is how it goes
Well I, I would have never known
And if it ends today
Well I'll still say that you shine brighter than anyone

I tried to walk towards him but he started walking faster. 'Wait!' I thought to myself. I halted. 'Why am I even caring about this at all. He's not something important to me, is he?'

Now I think we're taking this too far
Don't you know that it's not this hard?
Well it's not this hard

I shoved that thought into a drawer and kept walking.

But if you take what's yours and I take mine
Must we go there?
Please not this time. No, not this time.

Suddenly, another thought came out. Why do I hurt so much when he's gone?

Well this is not your fault
But if I'm without you
Then I will feel so small

Damn. I'm still such an idiot. But he had one of the kindest souls. I knew from what he said, from how he acted.

And if you have to go
Well always know that you shine brighter than anyone does.

He was almost to his car, and I started running towards him. I don't know why, but suddenly I needed to run.

Now I think we're taking this too far
Don't you know that it's not this hard?
Well it's not this hard
But if you take what's yours and I take mine
Must we go there?
Please not this time. No, not this time.

He started going faster. I tripped, being the silly klutz I was, and he stopped and turned his head around to look at me.

If you run away now,
Will you come back around?
And if you ran away,
I'd still wave goodbye
Watching you shine bright.

He started walking towards me. Me of all people! My heart thumped around in ecstasy in my chest.

He was right in front of me and held a hand out for me. I took it and jumped up, not letting go of his hand. He probably thought that I was going to let go, but when I didn't and squeezed it tighter, he smiled a crooked smile. At that smile I cracked. I knew I loved him. I knew he loved me, by the way he didn't let go of my hand. I let his hand go and there was a fleeting look of surprise on his face, which disappeared when I hugged him as tight as my frail body would allow. He hugged me gently back. I whispered, "I love you."

I'll wave goodbye (You shine bright)
Watching you shine bright (You shine bright)
I'll wave goodbye tonight

You shine bright.
