A/N: Chapter two! Enjoy!
The song is Haunted by Taylor Swift. It is off her new album, Speak Now. If you like Taylor Swift go check out her new CD, I think it's amazing! It's a gorgeous song, hauntingly beautiful!
I walked up to the DJ and whispered in his ear that I wanted to sing. Apparently I was much sexier drunk then I was sober, but I wasn't worried about that now.
He happily obliged me as I breathed in his ear what song I wanted him to play.
I grabbed the microphone and strutted to the stage. I briefly thought how embarrassing it would be to fall with all these people watching me, but then the music started and I was lost to it.
I swayed my hips to the music and sang the first few lines.
You and I walk a fragile line
I have known it all this time
But I never thought I'd live to see it break.
As I sang I thought about Edward. It didn't hurt to think about him, the alcohol made me delightfully numb.
It's getting dark and it's all too quiet
And I can't trust anything now,
And it's coming over you like it's all a big mistake.
I thought about when he left me in the woods. He didn't even make sure I could get back to Charlie safe. I was never his mate. He lied to me, over and over. If I were really that important to him, and if he knew me at all, he would have known I would stupidly chase after him.
Oh, holding my breath
Won't lose you again
Something's made your eyes go cold.
This song was perfect for Edward. I remembered how cold he was with me those last few days. I wanted to hate him.
I started to really get into the song at the chorus. People seemed to be enjoying the song to far, so why not give them a show. I stomped my foot to the beat and belted it out.
Come on, come on
Don't leave me like this!
I thought I had you figured out,
Something's gone terribly wrong
You're all I wanted.
Come on, come on
Don't leave me like this!
I thought I had you figured out
Can't breathe whenever you're gone
Can't turn back now…
I'm haunted.
I could feel the tears threatening to spill, but no, I would not cry over him again. I've spent the last few months crying over him almost every second of the day. No more! I told myself.
Stood there and watched you walk away
From everything we had
But I still mean every word I said to you
He will try to take away my pain
And he just might make me smile
But the whole time I'm wishing he was you instead
I thought about Jake. My personal sun, he made me smile. But then he left me too. Reunited best friends since we were little kids, and he couldn't stand me either.
Oh, holding my breath
Won't see you again
Something keeps me holding on to nothing
I thought about my future. Did I have one without Edward? Without Jake? Maybe Michael could be my future… was that his name? I wondered. My brain was becoming fuzzy.
I know, I know, I just know.
You're not gone, you can't be gone, no.
I glanced out at the crowd, one tear escaping and sliding down my cheek. I was glad it was too dark in there to see.
Come on, come on
Don't leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Something's gone terribly wrong
Won't finish what you started
Come on, come on
Don't leave me like this
Can't breathe whenever you're gone
I can't go back, I'm haunted.
Picturing Edward's beautiful marble face in my mind, I shut my eyes and whispered the last few lines.
You and I walk a fragile line
I have known it all this time
Never ever thought I'd see it break
Never thought I'd see it
The music stopped and the crowd surprisingly erupted into cheers. I wiped my eyes and stumbled off the stage into a pair of hot arms.
My head snapped back and I looked up, impossibly high, into a pair of gorgeous dark eyes.
Review if you'd like! =] I'd like to hear anything you have to say!
