TRUE! --nervous --very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why will you say that I am mad? The disease had sharpened my senses --not destroyed --not dulled them. Above all was the sense of hearing acute. I heard all things in the heaven and in the earth. I heard many things in hell. How, then, am I mad? Hearken! and observe how healthily --how calmly I can tell you the whole story.
- A Tell Tale Heart, Edgar Allen Poe

Future~
Everything around him seemed so far away. The grey waves crashing against the shore, the bleached tree's littering the sand, even the salty precipitation falling from the sky. All was lost in his mind. And yet, he couldn't keep himself from thinking back on better times. Times when it was worth having a monster within you, because it gave you a chance to be with the one you loved.
He remembered back to the first moment he saw her, in the crowded school cafeteria. The first time they had kissed, returning home from the meadow. All the time's he had saved her from the horrible fate she would otherwise encounter. Their wedding day. She looked so incredibly gorgeous in her flowing white wedding gown, and this time she even believed it herself.
The first time they had made loveā¦
A sharp sting flooded his eyes, making present the tears that would never fall.
Closing his eyes, escaping into himself, he began singing softly. The song that seemed to be the only thing that calmed him now. The only thing besides that perfect smile that soothed him. " Their Song"
I don't want this moment to ever end Where everything's nothing without you
I'll wait here forever just to, to see you smile 'Cause it's true, I am nothing without you
Through it all, I made my mistakes I stumble and fall, but I mean these words
I want you to know With everything I won't let this go, these words are my heart and soul I'll hold on to this moment you know, 'cause I'd bleed my heart out to show
And I won't let go
That had been her favorite song. And he even remembered the day she had first heard it on the radio. They had been driving aimlessly around their small town of Forks, wasting time away. Together. When she had an urge to turn on the radio and listened as the song's chorus opened up, starting slowly and softly before exploding loudly.
He even remembered the smile that spread across her face as she listened intently on the lyrics. Already making up her mind that, that would be "Their Song."
That had been such a happy time. A happy, care free time, filled with laughter and reckless love. If only it could have lasted, their fairytale adventure. But eventually you grow up, one day you open your eyes and the fairytale disappears.
It had been that one event. That one little slip-up that had caused a chain reaction. A chain reaction that ended in death. It was this one little lie that caused his angel to fall from grace..
When your fairy tale disappears you tend to turn to the things and people you can trust. But the thing is, its hard to let go of that fairytale entirely cause almost everyone has the smallest bit of hope, bit of faith, that one day they will open their eyes and it will all come true.

Bella's POV
I was awoken by the bright sunlight filtering in through the open window.
I was lying on my large, white bed, wrapped in a pair of strong, cool arms. My Edward. Sensing I was awake, he leaned in closer to my neck, breathing against my ear, which sent chills down my spine.
" Good morning, love," He said. His voice as flawless as ever. And I couldn't help my sudden increase in heart rate. I wouldn't ever get used to that. To knowing he was mine, and always will be. Forever. And soon the day would come that it would be made permanent, with the kiss of death, as Edward called it.
" Morning." I said sleepily, wriggling in closer to him, taking in the scent of his skin. I traced circles over his bare chest, like I had so many times before, and let my mind wander back to the first time we had been in this position, with my hands over his white chest. It had been the first morning on Isle Esme, almost five months ago. And I had woken up like this many times since then.
" It's time to get up for school Bella." He said lightly, chuckling.
Confused, I stretched and wrapped my arms around his neck, kissing him softly on the mouth. Hopefully, I could persuade him into letting us skip classes for the day. It was the first day back to Dartmouth after winter break, and maybe it would just be a slow day anyway. But of course Edward knew what I was trying to do, and refused to give in.
Perhaps a compromise was in order.
After a moment, he ended our growing kiss and picked me up off of our bed bridal style, and set me on my feet. I was in nothing but my green and purple undergarments, and a cool chill went through me, causing me to shiver. So Edward took my hand and led me to our closet. It was a walk in, similar to the one in our house back in Forks, but unlike the one back at home, it was filled with more sensible clothes. Nothing too extreme, to Alice's dismay.
Changing quickly into a pair of worn down jeans and a pink baby doll shirt, courtesy of Alice, I walked into the kitchen, where I smelt delicious food being made. Edward had changed long before I had finished and had started cooking pancakes.
The kitchen wasn't a long walk from our master bed room, only right down the hall. And it was a decent size. The color scheme was very light and open. Hardwood floors, and many windows. It still ceased to amaze me how we had gotten such a beautiful home in New Hampshire in time for School. But then again, if anyone could do it, Edward could.
Taking a seat at the granite island, I watched as Edward made the pancakes, even adding chocolate chips to them. He flipped them in the air exactly 3 times each, cooking them to perfection. Five minutes later, I had a heaping plate of chocolate chip pancakes sitting in front of me, along with a glass of Orange juice.
" Oh you spoil me Mr. Cullen." I joked, picking up my fork and taking a bite. Edward smiled his crooked grin and leaned against the island next to me. Almost taking my breath away. He gently ran his fingers over my cheek, brushing the hair behind my ear, and spoke." Only the best for you Mrs. Cullen."
I reached my hand up to his and held it there, loving the sensation it left on my skin, and I pulled him closer to me by the collar of his white shirt. My heart was beating so fast, I became slightly self conscious, but he stared into my eyes, only caring about this everlasting moment.
Slowly, our lips touched, and we became engulfed in our own waves of bliss.
That was, until a high pitched ringing came from beyond the kitchen, coming from the living room. Sighing heavily, I untangled myself from Edward and sulked over to the phone. Edward seemed to find my pouting amusing for his laughter echoed throughout the entire house.
Sending him a playful glare, I reached the phone and answered it, an undertone of irritation in my voice.
" Hello," I said slightly annoyed, but the voice on the other end came back just as irritated.
" Look Bella, We don't have all day, we have sociology in fifteen minutes. And im NOT going to be late our first day back. My outfit is just too perfect to not be given the full experience of your average day at college." I heard Alice's sing song voice reply, But by now Edward had appeared by my side, holding his hand out for the phone.
Handing him the phone, I listened as he spoke to Alice, wondering what he had to speak to her about. But to my disappointment, he stepped away from me, talking in hushed whispers that I couldn't make out.
The conversation ended just as quickly as it began, and I found myself in Edward's arms. He kissed me one final time on the cheek before he led us out the door, heading towards the car. He helped me into the seat, and got in beside me, taking the wheel. Now we were on our way to pick up my favorite sister. I could really get used to this.
