There he was, standing on the stairs in front of me. I could hear the announcer introducing him but I just stood there frozen. Suddenly though, my legs moved, I was running full force into him, I had forgotten how hard he was until the impact of our bodies colliding almost knocked me to the floor.
"Bella, oh god Bella I'm so sorry!" He wrapped his arms around me and dry sobbed into my hair. But then he stopped, I could see his jaw tighten, "I can't do this!" He cried and I knew what he was saying. "Don't move!" I cried with tears running down my face.
I ran over to the stage manager and whispered a few words into her ears and she nodded excitedly. I ran back to Edward and grabbed his hand, dragging him over to the piano again.
"Alright guys now I have one more song that I need to sing." The crowd applauded and Edward looked at me with mixed emotions in his eyes but only one emotion was evident when I started to play- Sadness.
I've been searching for your place
Finding my way home now I'm looking at your face
And I don't feel so alone
Always knew I'd find you
Don't break my heart
Don't walk away
Don't leave me lonely
Running in place
Waited so long
To be here right now
Sometimes things work out
Don't ask me how
Don't break my heart
I watch the shadows walk the street
Nothing was enough now I'm closer to complete
Not trying to be tough
Never knew I'd find you
Don't break my heart
Don't walk away
Don't leave me lonely
Running in place
Waited so long
To be here right now
Sometimes things work out
Don't ask me how
Don't break my heart
Don't break my heart
Don't walk away
Don't leave me lonely
Running in place
Waited so long
To be here right now
Sometimes things work out
Don't ask me how
Don't break my heart
Don't break my heart
Don't break my heart
When I finished and I looked at Edward's face I thought I was going to start sobbing right there, and as a matter of fact I did. I threw my arms around his neck and kissed him, and he kissed me back. This kiss was unlike any other that I had ever felt, He wasn't holding back like he used to, he was just kissing me…until we heard the stage manager behind us. I turned and smiled sheepishly.
"I'll be waiting backstage." I whispered and pecked his cheek. He smiled and hugged me quickly before turning to the piano. "I'll meet you there." He whispered and started playing. I walked off the stage to find a bouncing Alice waiting for me.
"Oh my god Bella I can't believe it's you! You're such a great singer why didn't you ever tell me? I can't wait to go shopi" She was cut off when I ran into her arms and hugged her as tight as I possibly could even though I knew she could barely feel it.
"I can't believe it's you either." I whispered and then turned with Alice to watch Edward perform.
Listening to better then me was almost unbearable. Listening to Almost lover was painful too but all of the pain was erased when he walked off stage and into my arms. We kissed again and when he stopped to let me breath all I could manage was, "Where the hell were you?"
The look on his face was full of pain and he just said "Later, I'll tell you tonight, Will you come to our hotel room?"
"Yes" I breathed and pulled out my cell.
"Dad, Look I know you're mad about what happened on the stage but I'm spending the night with Alice, yeah she's here too and I want to spend time with her. Plus Edward has a lot of explaining to do."
"Alright Bella…just don't stay out too late tomorrow"
"Ok dad, see you tomorrow."
I hung up my phone and looked back to Edward. "May I?" He asked holding out his arms and smiling his crooked grin.
"That's the first time you've ever asked." I laughed and jumped into his arms.
I was sitting on the hotel couch next to Edward; Alice had gone into the bedroom to go internet shopping for me, which she was probably doing to give us some privacy…even though she would have anyway.
"So…" I started.
"Bella…I can't even begin to tell you how sorry I am. I never should have left…"
"Then why did you?" I asked.
"Because I love you too much! I couldn't stand the fact that every time you were around me, at any second I could mess up and kill you!"
"Stop!" I almost shouted. "I trust you" I whispered. And the look of pure…joy on his face made me bury my face in his chest again.
"I love you." He whispered.
"I love you too." I replied. And as he wrapped me up in a blanket he laid me on his chest and I fell into the best sleep I had since he left…
