This is the next chapter in my story and is also a songfic but in Bella's point of view this time and the song is "The Distance" by Oliver James/Evan and Jaron (both artists were listed when I looked up the lyrics). I imagined this to be what Bella is thinking at the same time that Edward is listening to the song in Chapter 1. Again Bella's thoughts are in '' and the song is bolded. This song fit perfectly into what I thought would be going through her mind after he left. Enjoy and Review!

I was nothing anymore, just a hollow shell since he left me. I couldn't even think his name without breaking down but too many tears had been shed over him. I had to try to move on, it had been two months since he left me in the woods and I knew he wasn't coming back. Just as I was giving up hope, a song started playing on my radio. It was the first day I had turned it on since he left me, music was just too painful these days. I thought maybe I could try it again, listen to the music and not think of him. But the first song I got made all the memories come rushing back to me,

The sky has lost its color

The sun has turned to gray

At least that's how it feels to me

Whenever you're away

'My world has been completely altered since you left me. Although Forks was never a sunny place to begin with you took the life out of it and me when you left. I'm numb to everything here now, nothing brings joy into my life especially the places we shared together. I don't know where to turn or go without you, I'm lost Edward.'

I crawl up in the corner

To watch the minutes pass

Each one brings me closer to

The time when you'll be back

you're coming back

'When I'm not pretending to be alive and caring for Charlie I am nothing. I sit in my room and stare wondering how long it's been since you left. The minutes pass me by but all I can do is watch. I don't know what to do without you here beside me, but all I can do is pray you will come back, please come back.'

I can't take the distance

I can't take the miles

I can't take the time until I next see you smile

'Although I don't know where you are, it's too far. Even when you were here, if you left me for an hour I would feel your absence, now with miles in between us I have lost the will to survive. I try to picture your smile, your eyes, feel your touch but it's all lost to me, you took it all away.'

I can't take the distance

And I'm not ashamed

That I can't take a breath without saying your name

'My lungs and heart, my whole body, has quit working, sometimes I feel like I can't even go another minute without you but I try, because I have hope you'll be back. Every breath I take now is only for you, only on the hope that one more breath could be the breath that you walk through my door. If I stop breathing I lose that hope, so I continue on as hard as it is.

And I can brave a hurricane

and still be standing tall when all the dust has settled down

But I can't take the distance

'I can handle the scrutiny from the people at school and Charlie just fine of what I have become, what you made me. That does not affect my broken soul one bit but the fact that you're miles away breaks me down every time. You were so worried that you would take my soul if you ever changed me, well you've taken it now so it's all the same. To not feel your presence is all it takes to break my heart into a thousand pieces, which it has been since you left, and breaks again every morning I wake up without you.'

I still believe in feelings

But sometimes I feel too much

I make believe you're close to me

But it ain't close enough

Not nearly close enough

'I know that if you came back I could love you again, forgive you for the pain of these past month but those feelings are locked away for right now. I keep myself numb to protect myself from the heart shattering, crumple me to the ground, agony I would feel if I thought about our times together and the love I had for you. When I sleep I pretend you are there with me, your arms around me protecting me. I wrap myself up in a shirt you forgot in my room, inhaling your beautiful scent but it isn't enough. It will never be enough until it's you and only you.' I was lying on my floor at this point sobbing so hard my body was shaking. Charlie didn't even come up to check on me anymore, this was a daily occurrence yet this time was so much worse. I had allowed myself to feel, to hope again, all because of a song and it's well written words.

I can't take the distance

I can't take the miles

I can't take the time until I next see you smile

'I knew that if you gave me the chance to be enough for you, you could try to love me. The way you used to smile when you saw me, I know there is something there. My heart would swell at the thought that you picked me, but now I am unsure. I wish you would come back, these miles separating us only makes the hole in my chest worse.'

I can't take the distance

And I'm not ashamed

That I can't take a breath without saying your name

'Are you feeling the same pain? Does this hurt you as much as me, or was it easy to walk away? Can you make it through the day without thinking of my name? I wish I knew if you did this because you didn't love me or were protecting me.'

And I can brave a hurricane

And still be standing tall when all the dust has settled down

'I could be strong for you, I could brave all the accidents in my life if only you were by my side. I try extra hard to be careful because I know your arms won't be waiting anymore. Oh how I miss those arms but I will be strong for you, I'll make it through.'

I can't take the distance

I can't take the miles

I can't take the time until I next see you smile

I can't take the distance

And I'm not ashamed

That I can't take a breath without saying your name

And I can't take the distance

The distance

'I can't take this anymore Edward please come back to me. I can't be away from you for a minute longer. I need you in my life to survive. Please God I know I'm not a religious person but if I can ask you of one thing in my life it would be to bring him back to me. I can't do this; I need you just to breathe. Please, Edward, please come back to me.'

I was sobbing uncontrollably now unable to breathe without him. I could feel my life ending at this point and to think about it I was fine with it. I couldn't survive anymore, waiting for him to come back. I could stop the pain right now. Right as I made my decision to end everything I heard a noise behind me. I couldn't let myself hope, I had to convince myself it was just the wind, because if I hoped and nothing was there then it would be the end. I slowly turned knowing that it was just my memories haunting me but as I turned around I caught sight of him. At first I thought I was hallucinating but then I knew. I knew he was back and all I could do was fall into his arms and sob uncontrollably. At that moment I forgave him for the past two months because I was back in his arms. Nothing mattered at that very point but the feel of his breath on my face. I looked up at him and he immediately kissed me and there was so much passion in it that I didn't know how I was still breathing. He pulled away as I completely collapsed now and he carried me over to my rocking chair. Right before I curled into him, fully one piece again, I looked up and saw how terrible he looked. He had dark circles under his eyes and they looked red from crying, or as close as he could come. In that minute I knew our faces mirrored each other and I had never been happier in my life.
