Disclaimer- this is a huge one! I don't own Twilight or New Moon. Like half of the stuff in the story belong in New Moon! I also don't own these songs (The Point- Hidden In Plain View and Your Guardian Angel- The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus)
The lyrics that are bold are Your Guardien Angel lyrics. Anything italicized are The Point. Both of these songs are really good, so listen to them! First I said I would update on Wednesday and I didn't. Very sorry. Anyways I want to thank my editor, Talz16, who editedthis chapter! Thanks again. I think this chapter is short so sorry about that. This chapter took me a long time to write and I have no idea why. Thanks for all of the reviews! Anyway, review and enjoy!
"Well…"
-------
"Why don't we dance and I'll explain?" He asked. I involuntarily looked at the stereo and then back up at the grass.
When I see your smile
Tears run down my face I can't replace
And now that I'm stronger I've figured out
How this world turns cold and breaks through my soul
And I know I'll find deep inside me I can be the one
"But Edward, you know I hate dancing!" I said. What did he do, hit his head and forget that I hate dancing. Not that hitting his head on anything would hurt him.
"I know you do but do you remember prom? You had a good time." I did have fun, but I also had a broken leg. "It can be just like that. I won't let go of you. I promise." I started weighing my options.
"I guess….."
"Good." He said and smiled at me. I smiled back and stood up.
He grabbed my hand and led me away from the table. When we were in the middle of the meadow, he let go of my hand. He walked over to the stereo and started the music, and then he walked back to me. He grabbed me and we started to dance. A few seconds after we started dancing, I started tripping over his feet. He laughed at me and placed my feet on his, so that I was standing on his feet. It was a lot easier like this. I loudly cleared my throat.
My voice is tired
I can barely speak or whisper these words
We clear our minds
And these broken bottles and glasses
Heal our lives.
So drinks to the skies
and blood to your eyes
This rooftop is understanding
And swallow your pride, or choke till you die
Cause this fall's unforgiving
So call on your angels
To get your fall tonight
And I'll crawl on my hands
Pouring out my insides.
"I guess you want me to start now?"
"Yes please."
"Ok. Being away from you for so long as been so hard. I owe you a huge apology. No. I owe you a lot more than that. I owe you so much. I left because I thought I was putting you in danger. By me leaving I thought I was protecting you." I chose then to interrupt.
I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven
"You leaving didn't protect me. It made me vulnerable." I said and then stopped. "First I became friends with Jacob and then he became a werewolf and then Laurent came back and almost killed me. But Jake's pack killed him. After that Victoria came back." Everything I said tumbled out of my mouth very fast. I could barely understand myself. From the look on Edward's face, I knew he heard everything.
"Laurent…. And Victoria…. Came back…. And they almost killed you….. You put your life in the hands of werewolf's! A new one at that. Will you please explain everything to me?" It was then that I noticed that we stopped dancing. Edward pinched the bridge of his nose and breathed deeply, trying to calm himself.
I'll wait for you
Hoping to change your mind
Hoping's all I can do.
"Well, after you left, I guess I became kind of depressed. One day I went to the movie's with Jessica. We saw a zombie movie, and I guess I snapped out of it. Another day I saw two motorcycles and I got them. I drove to Jake's house and he fixed them. He taught me how to ride them. Whenever I was in danger I heard your voice. Anyways, before Jake became a werewolf we started looking for the meadow. Then be became one, so I looked for it by myself. When I finally found it I was standing and then someone walked out of the forest. It was Laurent and we started talking. He asked about you guys and I kept on hearing your voice telling me what to do. We kept talking and then I asked about Victoria, and then he said that she wouldn't be happy with him. I asked why and he said for killing me. Before he had a chance to attack the werewolf's came. He ran and they chased him. Jake later told me that they killed him. Victoria came looking for me, but she smelt one of you guys and ran. I left before she came back. I don't know what's happened to her. I eventually became myself again, though I'm not as happy. I went to college in Seattle, I still live there. I made a lot of friends, but I've barely even dated." When I finished there was silence for a while. I could see his face taking in everything I had said.
It's ok. It's ok. It's ok.
Seasons are changing
And waves are crashing
And stars are falling all for us
Days grow longer and nights grow shorter
I can show you I'll be the one
"I'm sorry. If I knew that my leaving would have caused this much of a mess, I wouldn't have left."
"Well." I prompted.
"Well, what?" He asked. Looking confused.
"Aren't you going to tell me what you've been doing?" I demanded.
"Well, the first thing you should know is that I've been miserable just like you and that I was going to come back along time ago, but something happened."
These days are tired and these nights are overwhelming
And we spoke through silence
A routine silence, with nothing more to say
So drinks to the skies
And blood to your eyes
I'll be understanding
Tonight
I understand everything tonight.
"What happened?" I asked curiously.
"Before I was planning to come back, I went to visit my family-"
"Why weren't you with them?" I interrupted.
"Well, I was hunting."
"Hunting what?"
"I guess hunting isn't the right word, I was tracking."
I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven
"Who?" I asked. Even though I was pretty sure I knew the answer.
"Victoria, but as you can see that didn't turn out well." He said.
"What else did you do?"
"As I was saying, when I visited my family something happened. They were in Alaska visiting the Denali coven. Me and Jasper were hunting in the woods, when out of no where this girl showed up."
Wait for you
Hoping to change your mind
Hoping's all I can do.
"Was it Audrey?" I don't even have to look at his face to know the answer. He nodded.
"Yes. We were both really hungry and our instincts had taken over. Her blood smelt good. Jasper attacked her and started drinking her blood. I was still in control, so I pulled him off of her, and then Alice showed up. She took her and ran her back to Carlisle. He had to bite her because if he didn't she would have died. When her transformation was done we explained everything to her. She was shocked, to say the least. We stayed in Alaska, training her to only drink from animals and not humans. We all had to stay together. Now that she is fine around human blood, I was able to come back. My family decided that we should all come. Carlisle got a job at a local hospital. He obviously can't work at the one here, because he looks the same. But, Bella, I need to know. Do you still love me?"
Cuz you're my, you're my, my true love, my whole heart
Please don't throw that away
Cuz I'm here for you
Please don't walk away,
Please tell me you'll stay, stay
"What kind of a stupid question is that?" I said. "What about everything you said to me in the forest?" His eyes were full of pain as he answered.
"I'm a good liar, Bella, I have to be." He said seriously. Before he could finish, I felt myself freezing. "Let me finish. I'm a very good liar, but for you to believe everything I told you so fast, it was painful. I knew that you weren't going to let me go, so I tried to convince you that I didn't love you anymore. I hoped that you would move on if you knew that I didn't love you. I thought it would take a long time to convince you that I didn't love you, but you quickly believed me. Even after all of those times I told you I loved you."
And I'm dying because your leaving
Hopes abandoned, my heart's still beating
But I never gave up trying
I did everything for you
I did everything
"I don't understand." I said slowly.
"Before you, Bella, my life was like a moonless night. Very dark, but there were stars-points of light and reason. And then you shot across my sky like a meteor. Suddenly everything was on fire; there was brilliancy, there was beauty. When you were gone, when the meteor had fallen over the horizon, everything went black. Nothing had changed, but my eyes were blinded by the light. I couldn't see the stars anymore. And there was no more reason for anything. Now that your back, I can see everything clearly, like I could before. Will you really answer me this time? Can you still love me, after everything we've been through? Can you?" He whispered. I was on the verge on tears when I finally answered.
Use me as you will
Pull my strings just for a thrill
And I know I'll be ok
Though my skies are turning gray
"Of course I love you, nothing can and will ever change that."
"That's all I needed to hear."
So I'll wait for you
Hoping to change your mind.
I'll wait for you.
With that said he pulled my head to his and kissed me. It wasn't the cautious ones I was used to. It was filled with more passion and was less cautious. It was even deeper than the one he gave me on my birthday, all those years ago. When we finally pulled away, he rested his forehead against mine and whispered my name. Even after everything that had happened to us, I knew we would be fine. So we continued to dance, even when there was no more music.
I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven
I think that ended on a sweet and happy note. In case you forgot I got a lot of the explanation stuff from chapter 23 in New Moon. Now, you guys now a little more about Audrey. She is going to be making more appearances soon. I guess I don't have a lot to say. The next chapter should be up tomorrow. Keep your fingers crossed! Since this was in my opinion my best chapter and I absolutely love it, I better get a lot of reviews! Keep reviewing!
REVIEW! REVIEW! REVIEW!
