Authors Note: So there you have it! Conflict #1! Just so you know, all of the songs that occur after this were not written by me. BTW, I have been ditching classes left and right to use the school computers so all you peeps better appreciate this! I demand payment though, exactly 5 reviews, no less or I won't add any more chapters. AND I MEAN IT!!

I threw myself on Charlie's bed and began to sob. "I don't believe it, he does not love me, he never did. All love is is the power to hurt the one you say you love." I raised my head to see the guitar I had learned to play in… His absence leaning against the wall. "What are you doing in here?" I grumbled to myself. It always helped to play when I was sad so I picked it up and played a song I had written.
I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
Because your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I've held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me
You used to captivate me
by your resonating light
But now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away all the sanity in me
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I've held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
And though you're still with me
I've been alone all along
I heard a gasp from outside but I paid this figment of my imagination no mind. That was until I heard a sob coming from my room. I unlocked the door and stepped out into the hallway. Instantly, he stood by my side. "Why are you here Edward?" I asked him, my voice harsh. I knew he was just coming to play games with me but I wanted to hear his excuse. He flinched. "So just destroying me was not enough? You had to come back and toy with my expectations too?" There was agony in his eyes. Why were my words hurting him? Disappointing yes, because I had figured out his plan, but why pain? He fell to his knees and clasped his hands together in a begging position. Dramatic a always, I remembered. "Bella please!," He begged, "please believe me!" I stalked off to my room. I picked up my phone and dialed a number that I swore I would never call again. After two rings, Alice picked up her cell phone.

My cell phone rang. Jasper shot a look at the number before tossing it lightly to me. "I don't recognize the number," He said, shrugging. I flipped the phone open, "hello?" "A-Alice?" A voice I recognized said. "Bella!" I cried. Beside me, my love stiffened. "Alice?" She said again. "Yea?" I wondered if Edward had gotten to her yet. "Can you come and…can you… She burst into tears. "Running," I said, jumping up and shutting the phone. Jasper caught my arm, "Alice what is it?" He asked. "I have to go back" I breathed. "Alice hold on," He said firmly, "What's wrong with Bella? If you are going back then I am too." "Can I drive?" Emmett's voice boomed from down the hall. I didn't laugh. "Alice what's going on?" My whole family –minus Edward- was assembled in my room. "She wouldn't tell me," I whispered, "all she could do was ask me to come home and then she started to cry…" "That settles it," Esme said, "We are going home."

I stood outside the door and was about to plead with her to let me in, to let me explain when the music started. I had no idea that she could play. Then she began to sing. I had never heard a more beautiful sound in all my life. Now that I was back with Bella, I truly had a life again. As I listened to the chorus, I felt as if it had been written for me. I gasped when I realized it had been. I couldn't stand it anymore, I went to her bed and broke down. A few seconds after the song ended, I heard the click of a lock and then footsteps. Instantly, I was by her side. "Why are you here Edward?" She spat at me. I flinched. "So destroying me was not enough? You had to come back and toy with my expectations too?" Oh no I wasn't toying with them, I was pleading with them. There was heartbreak in her voice and her words burned me like fire, like acid. I had caused this. I fell to my knees, if I had to beg, so be it. I would do anything to hold her in my arms again, to love her, to know she loved me. "Bella please!," I begged, "Please believe me!" She walked right past me and dialed a number on the phone on her dresser. Curiosity was enough to keep me from crying again. "A_Alice?" I heard her say. So that's who she was calling. "Alice?" She said again. I could hear the agony in her voice and I am sure my sister could too. "Can you come and…can you…" She burst into tears, listened for a moment and then hung up. So my family was coming home now. Curiosity satiated, there was nothing to help me keep my sobs inside. Bella certainly didn't help me stop. After about a half-hour, her sobs stopped, her breathing slowed and she began to murmur. I slipped into her room and sat in my rocking chair. She said nothing coherent until she mumbled one sentence that made my entire body feel as cold as ice. "What is love?" She mumbled, "only the power to hurt the one you say you love." I sat down on the bed and stroked her hair. "No," I whispered, "No, love is so, so much more than that." She rolled over and murmured just one word, the word that caused my world to end. "No."
